When your Dad randomly pulls out a Galaxy S II - Captivate General

My dad has been a dedicated iphone user since the start, his catch phrase is currently, "what's up radio, flash the wrong kernel again?" A subtle poke from a bootloop I got back in the day with the firebird kernel haha, now put yourself in my shoes, I arrive home from seeing bad bosses and my Dad pulls an elusive attention grabber, me waking to his side expecting some kind of fourth grade joke, pulls out not an iphone rather a Galaxy S II import and laughs.
Should I bring him to our side or let him brick the beauty?
(facetious^^a little there on the bricking part but man he had me beat in the data plan grandfathered over and I'm sick of paying $10 for an extra 1g.)
How would everyone else act in my shoes?

You should buy an Infuse 4G and secretly swap phones with him. He's a dedicated iPhone user, he won't notice the difference lol

Pretty sure even the simplest of minds would know the difference

Hahaha man I have an upgrade available and was gonna start work on the Galaxy S II while keeping the cappy as my main, but I don't even have any certainty with at&t getting the phone in July, but if so maybe I could switch em, I want that NFC chip!

Let me brick it and have that oh $h** moment. Then of course come the rescue with USB jig. Sounds like a good chance to have some fun your old man.

Jig just resets flash counter thing on the GSII. Not sure how big of a rescue it'd be
Unless they found DL mode resistance..... It's been a while since I've perused those forums. You could just take the battery out of it and tell him it's bricked, tho

Sorry guys, but this has nothing to do with the captivate.

Did your fascinate have the capability to get 20 mpbs uh no. Its the best out of the 4g phones period. Lg phone sucks donkey balls. Tbolt is a dam nice phone love sense wife owns this phone. The battery life sucks azz though 2 /3 hrs tops. The only reason I did not buy that phone. Charge better display than any other lte phone, better battery life as well. Makes it a easy decision.
A very easy decision. Don't know why people talks down to this phone and in a few more weeks we will have so much ROM to make it even better, not that it's needs to be.
It has 550 ram but 220 is dedicated to functions you cant control. The other is for all your apps and system apps

I guess exercise your return policy?
SAMOLED+ > SAMOLED > Super LCD > TFT.
4.3" > 4" > 3.8" > 3.5".
4G/3G/1x > 3G/1x.
8MP Camera > 5MP Camera (and honestly, better than the 8MP on the DX2).
It has more than "300k" ram.
But, you know, some of the above is personal preference. It's perfectly fine if you don't like the phone.
I love it.
I love my Charge
great batt life and no lockups or anything like I was getting with the tbolt
Grammar and spelling are officially dead on the Internet
It has 512MB of RAM, with a portion of that being allocated to the GPU and some other things on the system, leaving you with ~330MB or so. The GPU needs some dedicated memory to get such good performance, and I'd rather not see it at all, than see it and not be able to use it.
Lets be honest. Out of the box this phone is a pos.
Ive returned mine once thinking i got a bunk phone. On my second droid charge now and im convinced this phone has some hardware issues and samsung built it as cheap as possible. I havent lost any pixils yet but im not sure any rom will make this a sold phone.
I don't understand why people start threads to complain about the phone they own. If you don't like it, fine. Either get rid of it or deal with it. Complaining makes you look:
A. Like a baby
And
B. Like someone who didn't do any research before buying.
Wah wah wahl... We all feel so bad for you.

The only thing I can gather, is that folks like you don't care about 4G and didn't start with a Thunderbolt. This phone is far superior to the Tbolt... making it the best Verizon 4G phone available.
I had a fascinate and stepped up the the charge... I really like the charge. I like the feel and the look of the charge. The only thing that's going to top this phone is going to be the galaxy s2, that is supposed to be released sometime in the third quarter for verizon.

The only issue here is that there are talks that the SGS2 won't be LTE-capable If that's the case, it will make me really, really sad.
And seriously people, if you don't like the phone return it and gtfo. I'm kind of getting sick of hearing about it. Me, personally, I've owned almost every new Verizon and Sprint phone since the HTC Incredible. I love this phone.

im coming from a mytouch4g from tmo so this phone is leaps and bounds better then my old phone. if you think you had a bunk phone and returned it and the second one is not working the way you think it should either then maybe it has something to do with user error not phone. the only thing i would complain about on this phone that the mt4g had it beat in was battery life. the battery life is horrible but thats ok with the amazing screen on this phone its expected

It will be lte with a rev2 chip. Rev2 chip is a radio that does cdma and lte without having different signal bars. It's not like the tb or charge. It doesn't add bulk. And the rev2 chip is known to save battery unlike our lte chips

Who is Thinking of Jumping Ship to the SGS2?

Now that it is official I am not sure if it is the device that is getting me excited or all the hype around it. I really like the idea of the larger screen and super thin body. Wish it was qhd though. I guess with every good thing comes a bad thing......
Thinking the only way to get it without spending money is to add a line, cancel my 3D's line and sell the 3D on Craigs list. That should cover the both costs.......Anyone know what Sprint's max cancelation charge is?
Like I said, just thinking about it now and would like to hear what others are planning on doing. Hopefully this doesn't turn into a flame war......Just looking to see if people jumping ship have a better way to get there then what I was thinking of doing......

The SGS II will only be a good phone because of the Dev support. Samsung has a hard time updating the software for some reason. Gingerbread hasn't even been rolled out to the original Epic for god's sake.

Hopefully if we don't get trolls and people give there honest opinions this thread can stay open because I really want to see what people have to say and what they will be doing now that the device is official.
I have been with HTC for the past 5 years but if something better comes along I am not afraid to go....
Obviously no one has played with it yet but I want to know people's thoughts just based on the announcement and if they are regretting the 3D purchase....
Im all in, day one.

The epics an exception. They can't seem to get the keyboard and radio figured out. This is the reason all sgs2s will be the sane and not have a keyboard lol. You also have to remember that update fiasco had more to do with carriers than Samsung themselves. The sgs had their updates right on time. I'm also curious about the op question. I've always wondered what would happen to your handset if cancelled within the first 6 months.

MOD EDIT: Goodbye
Well i guess it depends on you, I like a thinner device and i know it will have a better camera but I hatethe cheap feel of Samsung devices and.the updates , gingerbread is over nine months old and nothing official for the epic, so what would make me think they will get it on time on the second.device, same thing goes with the photon MOTO devices rake forever to update, that's why I stick with the EVO 3d but all 3 phones are great phones

Well, google didn't have much luck with the nexus s at first either Hence their nickname the Nexus B lol
I won't lie the, gs2 is a beast of a phone. I also think the E3D has been underutilized so far though, this phone has a lot more potential than it gets credit for. Plus the Evo was updated to gingerbread around the same time the epic was getting froyo, it would have came before but HTC waited for gingerbreak to be patched before pushing the update.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
I hate to admit it as I have been a die-hard HTC fan, but, as far as my experience is concerned (on 3rd E3D) I think they really botched this flagship. YMMV, of course.
So long as the SGS2 has a radio that is as good (read: no weaker than) the E3D I'll be happy. The Radio on the NS4G was pitifully weak, the E3D is no better...even after a few. I can live with this. The signal strength indicator can't be trusted on it's own, go by actual measurements and most importantly missed/dropped calls and roaming....and I miss and drop and roam more than ever. It sucks. I do love this phone. I will greatly miss the qHD.
I became fine with the uber-weak radio, but, the final straw is the increasingly bad power-on fiasco. Sometimes it does, some times it doesn't. Some times it will be plugged in with a green light locked up tight (requiring a battery pull and SD card pull) *AND* have a dead battery on top of it. It's at the point where I have a backup alarm set up. Yeah yeah yeah, if I need an alarm clock USE an alarm clock...well, no other phone ever gave me any issues, so, I'm going to say that it is not unreasonable to expect my phone to A> turn on and B> charge while plugged into the charger.
I've tried hard, I do love this phone...even the horrid form factor has really grown on me. But I barely use the 3D enough to really miss... I may keep the E3D, it is a rather unique phone, but, SGS2 here I come....Also, aside from touchwiz (which is easily disgarded) it is a nearly stock Android experience....and Samsung has Cyanogen on their payroll. That can't be bad.
I will miss you guys, I'll be back to visit though. It has been fun.

Honestly, I think its more insecure when somebody has a decent phone and has to make a thread asking for their peers/competitions approval to get the other phone. Btw, I have a nokia 1100. Do you think I should upgrade to the nokia 6630?
I voided my warranty and your mum.
The reason the new phone does not appeal to me that much is because it is WIDE -even wider than the Evo 4G. And taller too.

I see it more like asking the opinions of people you consider knowledgeable on the subject. You'd be a fool to not ask people who are very familiar with something when considering whether to buy it or not....especially when it's such a relatively pricey gadget. Take it as a compliment that someone (may) respect your opinion enough on the subject to take your advice to heart.
We are a community here. I doubt any of us actually give a crap of another approves of one another in a social context, especially when starting a thread like this (so long as it isn't obviously trollbait).
For the life of me i don't know why you won't take this into the correct forum...at this point you are trolling and trying to cause a flame war..go back to the Samsung website and dry hump a pic of the gs2 ..i mean its specs are unprecedented..a 1.2 ghz dual core...whoaa.. a gig of RAM? Holy moly...a wvga screen..omfg... This thing ****s on everything...there is nothing else like it..I bet it will load up webpages a third of a.second faster than the e3d and that is very important..mods pls get rid of this rush guy..he's been causing trouble for hours and its getting on everyones nerves
You guys know that instant feeling of anger, shame, befuddlement you get when you see a trailer for a movie that has already been made 2 times before?
And like... The 1st one wasn't good to begin with but it got a lot of "views" so they keep doing it...

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

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.

I find your lack of faith disturbing.
Well the t989 got it today, so I think we might actually get sometime this week, if not next week hope fully, at least this shows Rogers isn't waiting for the release of the s3 to update its existing galaxy line

I think so too if t mobile can do it then why is att so far behind especially since there's been 2 leaks and from what ive read the second is all the way functional except a few bugs so what's taking so long
Yeah, hopefully this week or next. I see no reason why not. T-Mo SII just got it through Kies, so there is def SII love. US SIII just isn't groundbreaking.
Will this be an OTA we have to manually retreive or a Kies update? Im half wondering if Kies will give it to us right now.
I hope it gets here soon, I'm so utterly disgusted with the lack of features and performance in mine that I'm already ready to go back to an iPhone. The only reason I bought it was because my iPhone 4 was stolen and the AT&T sales rep said ICS was coming out "next week", this was nearly two months ago.

lack of features? which features might those be?
As far as performance goes, the skyrocket is no slouch.

Fragmentation.
Lack of features aka I can't find them cuz they aren't on the home screen or plastered to my face

hey, I'm not here to start anything, I wasted $200 on this thing because it's just not right for my usage. I have to restart it several times a day because it locks up, the stock browser is a joke, I'm forced to use Dolphin which I hate to access my company portal (hey, I didn't use Safari on my iPhone, but Safari did work for that) It won't ring, I never get notifications of text messages or voicemail, I drive over 200 miles a day so having music to listen to is important, and I had to dust off my old iPod for that, I had the TomTom app on my iPhone and since I travel out of my service area regularly I cant trust the navigation that came with the Samsung because it constantly loses GPS signal, so I had to buy a TomTom. I honestly thought my phone was broken so I took it back but the guy in the store said there was nothing wrong with my phone. I used to use Foursquare but the GPS is so off that every time I check in anywhere it says I'm too far away. Oh, and my battery only gives me about three hours off the charger.

Haha! Epic!
But honestly this is taking way too long to get the "official" ICS out... not complaining just an observation.

Well maybe you're just "special"
Go back to an iPhone, they're good for people who can't figure things out

Wow you're a ****. And I mean that with the most disgusted inflection that word allows for, jackass.
To the other guy; your phone is faulty. It just is. You're the consumer, you payed for a product that isn't delivering. You're going to need to whine and ***** about it, make it a big of enough deal; don't take no for an answer.
They're retail stores, switching out used devices isn't really their forte. (If you had a faulty iPhone you'd still need to make a big deal about it before getting it switched).
You have a great phone, trust me and everyone else here who knows phones. Yours is faulty; the Skyrocket is an incredibly powerful device.
