TOUCHE, good move!!

I would never go back

i bought a perfect condition 3GS from a guy that bought the iPhone 4 the day it came out for 150 bucks and couldnt pass up that deal. Was using the Epix before that. The iPhone was a nice upgrade but I have never been an Apple fanboy. So it's newness wore off and I been wanting to go Android for a while but we all know ATT Android selection sucks. I was holding out because i thought they may have something i want by this time. I do want the Infuse, but i see that isnt going to be out till maybe May or June, so when this opportunity came up, i jumped on it. I already got my feet wet by playing with mods on my gf's HTC Hero, so once i get it, I am ready to rock n roll.
on another thought, i have been looking at the Serendipity and Cognition ROM, anybody who has tried them both? any thoughts on which one you like more and why? any input is greatly appreciated.

i went from an iphone 2g to the captivate. the hardware jump is unbelievable, but at least my iphone worked liked apple said it would :/.

haven't tried serendipity. Cog is a great rom... but i keep going back to andromeda... by far the best rom out there right now imo.
phoenix is fantastic too.

I guess I'm samsung's ***** for 1.5 more years. Better than being apple's.

I have only flashed a rom twice now, and it was Cognition both times, (2.3B6 first time and most recently 3.04) I can tell you that Cog 3.04 is amazing! Its based on the Official Froyo release from Rogers (canadian carrier) but has been "americanized" and it's quite fast and very smooth. In case you haven't seen these, I followed the 3 part video tutorials for flashing your rom, from user "connexion2005". He is very detailed and really takes the time to walk you through the process. The links are,

Good luck, have a blast!

I am running Paragon and it runs great. I tried Cognition, but had to change the font back to stock and didn't like that it was missing Bluetooth voice dialing.

Last week I traded an iPhone 4 for a captivate. I got way tired of playing the little games trying to keep the jailbreak everytime a new update came out. I just did the phoenix ROM and it is pretty good.

Cognition is good if u want to stick with what samsung gave us to use.....all the garbage is remove for performance reasons....I've been using serendipity since it started and its my favorite.....its the closest thing to a stock android rom..... I like the color scheme and the fact that there's hardly any traces of touchwhiz. I alway put together my own custom parts though which is what's great about android...Im using hardcores kernel and the jk3 modem.....changed the battery icon ect....

the question is. when to stop waiting? its either now or never imo
oh, and thumbs down to the thread title. its very unimformative, it could be about the world ending or about a new cat you just got... i cant tell by the title.
I agree. Please title your threads appropriately OP. "So...." is a title that should get you banned for a week.
If you know that AT&T is going to release better products down the road (and you do, if you're thinking about waiting 6 or so months) then you have to decide whether or not its worth it to get an HSPA+ phone or wait for the inevitable LTE devices to rear their heads. Personally, I'm thinking of getting an Inspire 4G retail when they're launched as a birthday present to me from me, and then possibly using my upgrade later on when an LTE device shows up. It's all a matter of whether it's worth the wait to you.
i used my update on my craptivate with my 2.1dumpdate1. if it wasnt for you devs then i would be pissing on samsungs doorstep right now. i think ill either get the atrix or a nexus s since dev phones are about the only thing guarunteed to get the latest stuff. paying full price anyway. id like to see motorola drop a high powered device like the atrix but wrap it up all tanky like the defy.

Exactly. See, I already have the Captivate now which, although won't be the best thing on the market soon, is still a damn good phone and @ 1.28ghz it keeps up just nicely with the best if them.
I have an upgrade and the question now is; what do I get? Since the Atrix was a flop (pricing and required tethering) im definitely waiting for MWC to see whats coming; the new Samsung phone should be great.
Captivate 2.2.1 Paragon

From Captivate to Inspire

So after 4 days of persistence in calling AT&T Customer Care and Warranty, I am going to be a proud owner of an Inspire!
Had the Captivate since initial launch, plus 5 returns! They are doing a "one time only" make/model exchange through warranty.
I'm excited to say the least! I think the Captivate was a great device, just not reliable enough for me. I spent the last 6 months dealing with random shutdowns and frankly had enough!
Glad to see people are enjoying the phone!
congrats!!!!!!!
You will never miss your captivate , even the captivate devs are coming to the inspire !

You'll be joining a rather sizable club of ex-captivate users who made the jump over to this superior phone, me being one of them.
Cool that you got them to replace your captivate... I wasn't willing to suffer through three more replacement phones before even having a slight chance of getting them to swap... paid Off-contract, with no regrets.
Many of the captivate devs are over here now, which is awesome.
Enjoy!

I was exaggerating a bit in my prior post.
You SHOULD, IMO, spend some time with your phone as is. In fact, I didn't root mine until near the end of my 30 days.
You want to "burn in" the phone, making sure everything works (no mfgr defects), first. You want to be able to distinguish between "not working right because I got a lemon" and "not working right because of a root/flash gone haywire."
Not to mention, it's more of a hassle (but indeed possible) to revert the phone to a warranty-returnable state should you discover a mfgr/production defect after you've rooted.
That point of reference of how the out-of-the-box phone behaves, stock quirks and all, is important.
I'm just now gearing up to flash my first custom ROM ever, and I got the phone on 03/02, so being patient for the sake of being better prepared is a good strategy.
Sent from my Inspire using XDA Premium
A lot of my friends and family have been iPhone owners for the last few years, and I can finally say that my phone is the envy of my inner circle now. The Inspire has it all: beauty, brains, and brawn.
My phone arrived via UPS yesterday afternoon, and I set to rooting it as soon as it was fully charged. This was my first root, and the hardest part was making the Gold Card. I would recommend using the Gold Card walkthrough on theunlockr.com Website for the Gold Card. After you have that created, use Bubby's One Click (it REALLY works!). I'm sticking with rooted Stock ROM for now because I like all of the HTC stuff, but I wanted to use Titanium Backup to remove the ATT bloatware. Mission accomplished!
So att goofed and sent me the handset only accessories arrive tomorrow, so I should have a working inspire tomorrow night!

I literally folded my Crapsung Craptivate in half then tore it into two pieces on Monday night, got a call from my local AT&T store, and my Inspire is in stock, picking it up after work.
Then I'll use the awesome 8mp camera with LED flash to take a picture of the Crapsung Aggrevate and use it in the "How to fix the sh**ty samsung phones" guide I'm going to make.
I also jumped ship. I find the Inspire a far far far superior phone to the captivate.

Amazing Phone - First Impressions

I had this phone for few hours now and it is unbelieveable fast and responsive.
The screen is better than in my previous Galaxy S 4G and actually feels better and more responsive. The colors are unbelieveable and more natural than SGS4G. Black colors will not make me return this phone at all.
Thr speakers are super clear as well. Actually got surprised by how clear the sound is.
Data speeds and reception have been great as well.

Did you call to cancel your service or did you speak to the sales department?
In my experience, the sales department would never make an offer like that so I'm guessing you were threatening to cancel unless you got a deal like this.
I actually talked to CS first and told them the problem that I was having with GPS on my vibrant and then she connected me to some other department(customer loyalty I believe). Then I nicely explained the stiuation with the phone having GPS problems even after the current replacement that I had. And he asked me, if I might consider an upgrade and I just told him that I could give it a try to see if the next phone is better. And then I told him that I cant upgrade all three phones right now but I might in future. So I asked for G2x and he expided for me and devided $250 into four month payment + $50 rebate. (btw, I have been with tmobile since 2004)
loving it so far only 1 problem
so im loving the phone so far. coming from droid 1. havent been able to test the 4g much yet only 2g at the house. I do miss some of the customizations in my rom Sourcery from the droid one will get to porting it to this when we get what we need from the great cm. coming over from verizon obviously. my only complaint is i was under the impression the tmobile girl would come welcome me and she hasnt shown up yet
I had a chance to briefly try one of these out at the store today and was really tempted to just buy it. I currently have a nexus one so it's a huge step up. The only thing holding me back is the HTC Sensation which is supposed to come out in june. Do you guys think it's worth waiting for over the g2x?

you guys needa quit being so moralistic with these corporations they screwed us on this phone multiple times and tmobile was trying to pack up and dip on us anyway and hand us over to ATnT so if the dude wants what he paid for what he thinks he deserves let him do it not like LG or Tmobile are going to go bankrupt from it or even care that one dude beat the system .. if anything i hope you do beat the system and get it cause they're some grimmey people for real
See I have nothing wrong with my phone. My phone runs great on weapon and faux's kernal. My mothers phone is being buggy though, or either she is technologically deficient. I also was hoping that the phone i was going to get was going to be supported for a while considering the fantastic specs. Anyway alot can happen in 2 years. We are most likely to see an ics port.

you guys needa quit being so moralistic with these corporations they screwed us on this phone multiple times and tmobile was trying to pack up and dip on us anyway and hand us over to ATnT so if the dude wants what he paid for what he thinks he deserves let him do it not like LG or Tmobile are going to go bankrupt from it or even care that one dude beat the system .. if anything i hope you do beat the system and get it cause they're some grimmey people for real

Agreed. You're robbed on a monthly basis from TMo. My line on a family plan is $60 a month for services that literally cost the company nothing. They could charge a fraction of that price and still make a profit margin > 100%. On top of that, TMo tried to dump a faulty device on their customers knowing full-well it had hardware problems. Don't feel bad; take everything you can from corporations and don't look back. They would (and DO) do the same to you.
I've had my share of bad experience with my G2X. Recently on kang's nightlies, I notice gps locks instantly. I've been very happy with my phone for a long time.
My one issue still remains, and its emails on stock app don't sync after 10 hours. If I can find a fix i'd be happy and giddy.
I am pretty sure the email issue doesn't exist on stock cooked 2.3.3 roms but I'm too accustomed to cm7 and the built in notifications. I refer cm7.
There are black screen of death I get but, I get by. Email just drives me mad.
More support for this phone either from T-Mobile or LG will be great. Can't complain now that I'm running BP n supercharger v6 nothing is wrong. Maybe GPS not locking fast enough but is way better than an iPhone.... can't say that I don't want ics cuz i do.... btw if u do get to beat the system I'd like to know how. Cuz I'm 1 month away from leaving T-Mobile and refuse to get 2 yr contract with them

Have you tried using an app to find it? There are some for that exact purpose that you can remotely download and use to track your phone

I was too late.. by the time i got to a pc to install plan b, the thief had already swapped sim card. And considering i had just flashed weui, i didn't have the time to restore all my apps prior to it getting stolen.

My condolences
It is amazing how great this phone is.. still kickin..
Any idea where you may go from here? if you have an upgrade you have quite a few nice options at least.
same thing happened to me...but then I just bought another cappy
My suggestion is - backup and keep simple 9-dot lock.
Also I don't keep any financial info on the phone. NFC will fail.
I can't bring myself to ditch the Captivate just yet, though the new HTC One X looks pretty awesome. The windshield mount and desktop stand are one of the best I have ever used thats why I can't tear myself away just yet.
After rooting my Captivate and installing a new ROM (Slim ICS), it's like a new phone.
The One X does look cool, but I'm surprised there's no SD slot. Still, probably no issue for most people.
We'll see how soon the shiny wears off, but ICS on my Captivate is fast, functional and just really nice. So I can wait for a more optimal-for-me phone.
dropped my captivate a couple weeks ago... cracked the screeen...kinda want the nexus =p
Too bad
I don't dare to image it will happen to my cappy
That's terrible man :/....I've had my cappy for a while now and I have fallen back in love with it...first had it and I didn't like it then I got into rooting and stuff and then found how to flash roms and stuff and now I don't need an upgrade I love ittttt

I think they are like 240$ something on amazon unlocked.......http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Capti...QNJS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1335719427&sr=8-1
Craigslist usually has them for about $100-150. Sometimes you can find one that's boot looped someone wants to sell, thinking its permanently borked.
Make sure you report it stolen with the phone company. They will mark the imei number as stolen.

That's horrible! You have all our hopes behind you. As said a couple posts up they can be found relatively cheap on Craigslist. Sometimes cheaper than $100 if you're really lucky or they looped it.

I just kill my cappy last night after flash the 3 button fix. Do you want to send your broken cappy to me to help the poor?
Thanks
Wow, that sucks. After reading this I'm going to be extra paranoid about not losing my phone for a while.

My buddy just upgraded the note I got him to sell me the captivate for 40 bucks
sorry some piece of crap got yours
I feel your pain man! Mine was stolen a little over a year ago too... I know the hoe-bag that stole it too, but couldn't prove it :-( I have since gotten another one of course, but thinking about it still pisses me off!
