Just a tribute to the Captivate...

I can't believe I'm not in a hurry to jump ship to the Galaxy S2. The Cappy has been such a good experience as a phone and it's still able to do whatever I need it to do. When the Fuze came out I couldn't help but be there the first day to pick one up. I was compelled to have the latest and greatest, and the abilities a new smartphone would allow. The same happened the release day of the Captivate.
Sure, it's had its issues (GPS and capped data speeds come to mind) but between the performance of hardware and the constant ROM updates from the dev community, I just don't feel that compulsion to move on from the Captivate. For me it's been a great phone and it's made me a big fan of Samsung's products. Oh I'll get a Galaxy S2 here in a month or two when the price comes down a bit. But I'm still happy with my Captivate and I'll keep it around as a backup.

ditto
i will likely wait until december unless the deal is too good to pass up.
Want to see what develops with the nexus prime.
Some info claims it will be a Verizon Exclusive but i am skeptical. I think that it is more likely we will see it launch exclusively on verizon with a 30-60 window before other carriers get it....so i am not giving up on the prime....the solid metal body construction alone will be worth the wait...just hope ATT gets it.

ill replace my cappy with Glalaxy Note .

That is what has my attention as well...Galaxy Note.

I don't feel the need to upgrade from my Captivate either. Its a weird feeling, I use to be such a phone whore, now I look at new phones and feel they can't do a whole lot for me (personally, I know the phones are actually huge upgrades) that my Captivate can't do.
I HATE how ALL of the new phones being announced are so huge! 4.3" isn't TOO bad, but I do prefer my 4" screen. They're just getting bigger too, I want the Nexus Prime so badly, but there's no way I'm getting it with a 4.65" screen. My upgrade isn't until May 2012 and I'm questioning if there will even be a phone out there I like by then.

I'm with you guys. Once the GS II finally came out, I am not as excited. The last ROM I put on is great and until that note comes out, paying 200 for the GS2 isn't so alluring.
Especially with LTE on horizon and the Note, which will be awesome.
It's like an old friend, even knowing something is better out there, I'm not ready to trade in my old worn in shoes

The article says 4.6". It may not be so bad since that probably includes the buttons at the bottom, I'll just have to see it in person, but I still think it will be a very large device.

I'm a captivate owner and I really love it. I will not change it in a while..

The only two things that I don't really like in Captivate are very bad sensitive buttons (well, I replaced screen after it was broken, and than buttons were like that) and very bad battery life, especially with MIUI
But speed and functionality are just grear. And still love the screen with maximum brightness. I think I will buy Galaxy Note or Nexus Prime, will see...

I'm with you guys, but not by choice. I have a contract to fulfil.

I'll also be waiting for the Note.

I just looked up the Galaxy Note. Wow...! That thing looks amazing. It might be just a bit too big but I'm really considering jumping on that.

I'm with you guys. There is no real reason to upgrade just yet. With a good custom ROM (Cog5), it does everything I ask of it, and does it quickly. The screen is just amazing, and only the SAMOLED Plus beats it, if you ask me. Since I'm not on contract, I can switch when I want, but I see nothing out there I just gotta have. The Prime may change that, but if it is CDMA, then I'm out. Big Red is too expensive for my blood.

Great idea for a thread. My Captivate was my first Android phone. When I got it, I immediately started hacking it. Right now it's semi retired. My Galaxy S 2 is now my main phone.

I was in the same scenario.

sold my captivate and got a free iphone 4 from my company. I dont miss the phone bills but i can honestly say the Cappy ****s on the Iphone. ****ing hate this thing

Nexus S

My thoughts after picking up a Nexus S on Friday
I have been trying figure out what phone to get next after the Captivate for a few months now. Cappy is a great phone however considering all the stuff we had to do to it just to get the phone working right it has sometimes been a love hate relationship. Lag, GPS, lack of updates etc...
When the SGSII came out I saw just about everybody abandon the Cappy even those that swore that they would never buy another Samsung phone again after all the issues with the early Cappy builds. SGS2 is an incredible phone with no major issues and it tempted me greatly but I did not want to deal with getting updates from Samsung and AT&T anymore. The new Nexus Galaxy is the phone to get but at the price they will be asking it just doesn't appeal to me along with the size of the phone. I am not a big gamer, nor do I watch movies on my phone so having a gigantic phone is not very practical since it's my work phone too.
That lead me to the Nexus S which I had always wanted and they are so cheap now that they are a steal.
Gingerbread 2.3.4 right out of the box and about an hour after I had everything set up I rec'd a notice on my phone that the ota update to 2.3.6 was ready to flash. Now that's how updates should work. Smooth, fast and everything works without any tweaking and battery life is great so far. I don't feel the need to do anything beyond rooting at the moment and Ice Cream Sandwich is right around the corner.
Yeah, blah blah blah, no 720P native playback or recording but why watch movies on my phone when I have a 60" big screen.
Cappy relegated to backup status for now!

I agree fully with the update thing.
Btw nice name Roof King

Htc makes some decent phones but Samsung is kicking their a$$ right now. They are dominating the market with some sweet phones and that's why Google is sticking with Sammy for the nexus line. Plus the screen to rule all other screens.

This has nothing to do with PC versus Mac, this has to do with locked vs unlocked hardware. i will be boycotting Motorola in the future, this is my first Moto smartphone and the experience has been less than desirable. It's another case of great hardware ruined by being severely limited/crippled by the manufacturer. Samsung, LG, or HTC for me in the future.

yeah our HTC liberty's were so much easier to hack.

someone traded you a i4s for an a2?
Sell the i4s and buy a GSM Galaxy Nexus. Destroys both phones

Good luck in IOS jail
I sincerely wish you luck with an idevice. I was talked into trying the IP4, and knowing that I could easily sell it for enough dough to pickup some android goodness, I gave it a good, honest try. I fought for almost 6mos trying to make it fit. There were things that were nice, like the *screen*, battery life, speed, and camera.
I even jailbroke that puppy and actually had it part-way there. Unfortunately, the IOS ecosystem is so restrictive (though admittedly slowly getting better) that I wound up bashing my head against stupid, arbitrary limitations. At first, the little annoyances seem minor and tolerable. afterall, this is a pretty solid device, right? so what if you can't quite do x, y, or z. There are 'workarounds' and such, but then you realize that hitting the same little issues every single day starts to grate on you, and many of the 'workarounds' are half-ass (backgrounding apps just kills battery life, for eg.).
While IOS is well optimized for the hardware, and they really get all the speed they can out of it, the GUI also employs tricks to make it *feel* fast (smooth is a better word). Those smooth transitions are so smooth because they are slow, and the GUI will pre-load elements even before they are ready for touch input. Once I got to know IOS, I found I was tapping on freshly loaded GUI 'buttons' that ignored my input for a second or so. lame. Also, the 'polished' feel of IOS apps is almost purely illusory, as they crash frequently when 'unfrozen' (they don't get to run in the background). IOS just makes the crash look really pretty as the app disappears for just a moment and then restarts itself never telling you what actually happened. Android is just being honest when it reports an app crashed.
If yer on a tiered data plan, get ready for the hate. despite all the bull**** claims, IOS uses *far* more data than android. I could rarely stay under 200MB/mo on my IP4 despite having no widgets and only doing email and a bit of web browsing. I rarely go over 80MB in a month now that I'm on the atrix2.
A friend of mine who switched from the IP3G to the SGSII is thankful he didn't get the IP4s. He reports that his wife's IP4s seems sluggish and apps crash alot.
The iDevices can be alluring, and it might be worth trying, but just make sure you have a back-out plan. You may not even fully realize the pit yer in until months later.

[Q] Trade Question

Hey guys, let me start by saying I love my G2X. It's been problem free for me and I hate to let her go but I've recently acquired a GS2. Since then my LG has been collecting dust. I have the opportunity to trade it for an ATT iPhone 4 32gb. Sound like a good trade? The iphone doesn't come with the original box and has a scratch, that's barely noticeable, on the front and back.
If this is in the wrong section I do apologize but it seemed fitting given my question.
Thanks in advance,

Dual core to single core? You do the math.

That's true. However, in my attempts to sell my G2X people are concerned with the build quality and bugs. I guess a better question would be, Would the iphone bring a greater sale price?

I was being sarcastic. Both my g2x and that iphone are worth more than 175$. I'm not using the thread as a means to sell either. I just wanted a fellow g2x owner's opinion on their value vs. that of an iphone.

Sarcasim is hard to read.

Make sure the iPhone has jailbreakable firmware. You don't want a tethered unlock or jailbreak. Its a pain.

The g2x is a beast of a phone, but the sheople(yes sheep+people=sheople) will always favor the iPhone product because of apples support, also you can bet you'll get more $$$ back if u decide to sell the iphone4 compared to the g2x.

Really that's a bad trade, a G2x would beat a 4S, so if you're just about performance then no.
But if you like how pretty the iPhone is, then go ahead.

Who cares what's faster or better. Fact is, G2x re-sale value is pretty ****ty. A 32GB iPhone 4? That thing will stay at about 350-400 for a long ass time. Maybe even a little more who knows.
Yes swap it.
And for the record, iOS/iPhone 4 is smooth and fast as hell. I hate it, but up until now only the SGS2 or Galaxy Nexus comes close to its smoothness.
So do it buddy, you're getting a steal.

When I put my g2x up against my buddies iPhone 4 I hold my own and then some against it, with a larger screen he likes the way mine looks over his iPhone. He isn't one of those fanboys. My thing for iOS that I'm jealous about is; updates are reliable as well as apps/games oh and their built in apps "camera, messaging, etc... Thats pretty much it though. Oh and there battery.
Sh*$ I think I want an iPhone lol jk....
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

Thanks for all the replies. I appreciate everyone's input. I guess the iPhone in question has a scratch on the screen so I'm going to have to see how bad that is in an hour or so. I also have a hell of a cash offer on the table for my G2x. The funny thing is now that I'm on the verge of getting rid of it I really don't want to. I think I prefer it over my new GS2 at times.
Anyways, depending on the scratch I think I will have to go with the trade. I share Mackster's opinion on the weak resale value. It's sad when people who don't know squat about phones/technology know of the bugs they were plagued with.

Would rather have my g2x then an IPhone.. <<<Not a Mac fan, BUT a Linux fan..

Too bad mac and android are basically different flavors of linux of each other. Who cares if you go from a dual core to a single core? Just because something has more power doesn't mean it's useful. The G2x is a powerhouse sure, but with the available software it's not making near as much power as it should. The iPhone 4 is a single core, but the software FULLY takes advantage of the hardware. They're about even as far as real life usage. And the iphone is more reliable (waits for somebody to come in and say try this kernel/os) than the G2x. I'm not an apple fanboy and I love my G2x but I expect so much more from this phone. ICS is finally starting to come around. Anyways, trade for the iPhone 4 use it for a couple months, and sell it before the 5 comes out so retail value doesn't completely deteriorate.

I too would guess an iphone 4 would sell for more based on popularity.
You could always keep the g2x as a backup in case you lose/damage/brick your sgs2.

I have a Galaxy Nexus, and it's great! It's for Verizon tho' (Payment for flashings an Evo 3D to boost). I mainly use it as a Gaming system. It's amazing, the screen size makes up for a lot. I have Parinoid android on it, and SlideMe keyboard. Makes it perfect. Plus! You'll never have to worry about updates, or ROMs. Offical updates from Google are quick, and let's say there isn't a lack of ROMs.

It's not a bad camera. I just think ours is better.
It doesn't sound like you really need the Mytouch 4G Slide, so I would recommend selling and buying if you have your heart set on a Nexus.
I believe I read something about Google releasing new devices around November. Regardless, it might be better to wait for the next Nexus phone.

I have both phones in my house. I have a MT4GS picked up off eBay and I bought a Galaxy Nexus for my wife, just so she'd quit complaining about her iPhone 3GS's data issues on T-Mobile.
MT4GS
I want to start by saying that the physical keyboard wasn't a big selling point. I was shopping for a cheap phone with higher end hardware. The MT4GS fit the bill nicely, I have less than $150 in mine.​
I still running the stock ROM and I just unlocked my MT4GS yesterday, still in S-ON mode. I am planning to try a couple of ROM soon.
I love the camera app, available memory (especially compared to the Garminfone and MT3GS I've previously owned).
I'm ok with the stock clock widget with integrated weather.
I hate the dialer app, why HTC / T-Mobile decided to switch from offering Favorites to offering Group Texting is beyond me.
Galaxy Nexus
I love the cleanliness of the stock Android experience, but I'm still not thrilled with the dialer app.
I've already added another calendar app to mimic the iPhone's month view with agenda below.
I love that this phone is running 4.1 before most manufacturers have pushed 4.0 to their phones.
I miss the Sense like clocks, I'll probably install Sense Analog Glass Clock at some point...
I worry about the robustness of the design. It's just soo thin and light. Which may be ok in my wife's purse, but my phone is usually in my back pocket.

This is exactly the kind of info I wanted to know, thank you. To the op, sorry for hijacking your thread for a minute there.
