So basically... I'm wondering what maybe some of the Captivate users are looking at getting.
I'm on my fourth Cappy. Now the speaker stopped working on it (Just the headphone jack works for sound now).
Pissed at this phone, honestly.
I'm going to see if I can talk AT&T into letting me get a different phone, on the basis of this being a lemon.
Any suggestions?

If I had to replace my phone right now the Inspire is the one I would get. It's really a nice phone and has a lot of developer support.
I bought an inspire off-contract to replace my captivate... it's pretty nice. I would recommend it.

My speaker stopped working twice and had a new one put in warranty. Third time it happened I just tapped on the speaker and it came back on and now I keep a lil peace of paper inside right below the speaker to keep a lil pressure on the connections. Been working great

Press the speaker usually works.
I'm done with the Captivate, in other words. Too many issues with it.
Custom ROMs are the only reason I've hung on this long.
Would you not consider the Atrix or (shudder), Jailbroken iPhone 4? The Inspire's battery is so small.
My main thing- is I think I'll sorely miss the Super AMOLED. The next phone with AMOLED is looking to be the Infuse, and who knows when that comes out.
I've tried replacing my captivate but imo there is nothing out that compares yet.
I started with an inspire but took it back 3 times due to poor screen. Then tried an atrix but mine was junk. I had it for 2 weeks which for half of that time it was in it's box on the fridge while I went back to my trusty old captivate.
I think no matter what I end up buying eventually I will still keep my captivate as a backup just in case.
If I were you I would try to get another one, I've had not a single issue with mine other than the gps crap. Get another captivate and wait for something better to come out than the crap that att is pushing now. The inspire is an old design and the atrix was released too soon in my opinion.

Its so sad that ATT doesnt have much options in smart phone section. Still the best android phones are inspire, atrix and captivate....
I own a captivate and i am very happy with it...but when atrix was launched i thought wow dual core will be so nice...my room mate got it...and i am so happy i didnt just jump on it....the first thing is screen...nothing can replace SAMOLED....other thing was I saw Atrix hanging, where as my custom rommed captivate was running smoothly...Atrix has that locked bootloader issues..
Sorry I'm on wrong forum but got a friend whose captivate wont turn on its dead not rooted.

you talking about the speaker phone or the internal speaker??? i have an extra internal speaker if ya need one. they're really easy to replace
Wow I've had my Captivate since 3 days before official release and it still works perfectly.
Honestly I'm waiting to see if T-Mobile and AT&T merge, that way when I get my upgrade (In August) I can hopefully buy the sidekick 4g... But that's depending on so many circumstances, plus samsung is making it. *gags*
Design Gears dumped the Atrix, eh? That isn't too reassuring, lol.
Infuse is out based on the battery life.
It looks like the only option is the iPhone 4..... 3.5" display... Not as much power under the hood as my Captivate, either...
Hmmm, I've got some decisions.
I guess I could always sell said iPhone 4 in 6 months when the GS II comes out or something. Apple fans are always willing to buy.

The merger is a year out. That's already in black and white ink. In other words, they won't even start the process, until a year from now. Which means it'll be at least, 2-3 years before customers see the benefit.
Just learned in this thread DG returned his Atrix... Checked the signiture it's true
Maybe should wait for a while, there are many phones coming to AT&T this year.

From what I've been reading, all Tmobile bands will be switched to ATTs bands so the radios would have to be replaced.
The Inspire is the best thing AT&T has at the moment, but its battery is horrible.
CM7 Inspire 4G
So warranty does not have access to iPhone's.
It sucks, but I don't think I'll ever be able to get them to get me one if I want one. It's also not surprising because obviously part of Apple's deal is that Apple takes care of warranty for the iPhone, thus ATT Warranty does not have access to any.
What they offered me was pretty much anything else though.
The Inspire and Atrix were too new, they didn't have any in warranty yet. Those are the only two Android phones to be considered equivalent or upgrade (Inspire is out solely based upon the battery).
They also offered me some Win 7 devices but in all honesty I don't see those being equivalent in any way. I haven't really researched it and know squat about Windows 7 Phone.
So I'm stuck now. I don't know if I should wait a month or two to see if the Atrix comes into their warranty or just replace the Cappy...
I also got sick of the Captivate and got an Inspire. It definitely works a lot better than the Captivate, and aside from the battery it much nicer. If you don't like the big screen though that might also be a consideration. Personally the battery does annoy the hell out of me though.
I just switched to the atrix other than shi$$y programming in loved cappy so I just took it all the way to stock kies'd it to 2.2 and gave it to my nephew. The atrix is like running a custom rom except its stock that actually works heard a lot of good things from the guys over in the atrix forum is love it so far.

sent from Infuse but miss my captivate on cont. 5.5.... One day this can be as good...
I think with the Samsung Attain coming to AT&T pretty soon, as well as the iPhone 5 dropping in another 3-4 months (as per oft-repeated rumours) , ppl are holding out on buying this gem. I know a few captivate owners who're happy with their phones, and most ppl on iPhone 3g/3gs are waiting for the 5.
For me, the 4.5 inch screen, good battery life and sleekness of the device were an easy sell to ditch my iPhone 4 and get this. But I haven't seen many ppl with the Infuse at work, or when I'm wandering around in the city or on public transportation.
I think this may very well be the best time to get the Infuse. Mine is on its way from AMZ where it's priced the same as the local Costco ($129) which is incidently the lowest I've paid for a phone in years.
I contemplated waiting to see what Jobs have to offer this week at their conference as well as whether ATT will bring in the Infuse older bro. But at what cost and whether it would make a difference in my usage?
Now if only the stars line up in that (a) ATT won't prevent me from grandfathering in my unlimited data plan (esp since I did not upgrade in their store) and (b) the rooted or not Infuse allows me to do what I'm used to doing with my IP4 (tethering, Outlook sync, notes, CNBC streaming quotes, Stanza, A2DP e.g.) I'm good to go.

We have to think about the upgrade plans. I have both the Cappy and the Infuse just because my girlfriend changed her plan I was able to get it. Else, I think I would just wait for the Attain, but who cares, hopefully this time next year, quad core phones come out!.....
But loving every peace of the infuse than cappy. Wayyy better battery life, screen I think is about the same, camera, sleekness, and build quality I think is better than the cappy though...

The screen is certainly not the same as Captivate. The 4.5" screen is by far the best feature of the phone and the main reason I upgraded to it from the Captivate's 4".
I decided against the SGS II on this upgrade because of issues with headphone sound not being that great and a 4.3" screen ( I wanted a big screen upgrade from Captivate 4").
Apparently, Samsung decided to change the sound hardware in the SGS II and a reason why we will not see Voodoo Sound on it. Also, I see no reason for a dual core phone right now (at least for me) as there are no real apps that take advantage of it yet. In addition, Samsung will be releasing SGS III early next year.
Yeah I hear they're selling really well....but I haven't seen one around. The only one I've seen is the one my GF just got. I'm thinking about it myself.

Usually sales are for a week or two. I got my Infuse for $199 then they lowered it to $149 so I went back for the difference lol...they still have it for $149, but I'm gonna return it before my 30 days and most likely get it again the following week. Hopefully for the $99!!

I just took another glance at the ad. It says all prices and offers are good from June 19-25. So you have one week! Get on it!
Hi guys and the girl that looks like a guy.
Ok so here it is, I'm on GayT&T and currently have the HTC Inspire on contract. Done a million things with it, grew bored and went and picked up a Samsung Nexus S off contract.
No i'm not "ballin" but time after time with my Inspire I went for CM7 and the whole AOSP thing, so I said screw it and went and picked one up.
Here is the hard part, I have untill the 27th, which my 30 return policy runs out at Best Buy.
I love the Nexus S completely stock, the camera is the only thing I dislike about it.
My Inspire, battery sucks, GPS never worked, build quality is **** and I wouldn't mind getting rid of it.
Ok now the really hard part.
Samsung Galaxy SII is rumored for launch via GayT&T sometime this week! Phone looks to be amazing, only problem is the 4.3" display.
After owning the Nexus S I have become quite fond of the smaller size and it feels great.
So I don't know if I should return the Nexus S then turn around and buy the SGSII off contract, which I havent seen a price yet, but you all know what I payed for the NS so what do you think?
HELP ME I'M GOING [email protected]!#!!
not a fan of Nexus S, had it since it came out december 2010
good phone, but poor reception, no SD card slot
SGS2 is definitely the phone to go for, excellent in every way, and you can still run stock Android on it if you wanted to CM7 is already out for SGS2
if i were you i'll definitely return the Nexus S and get the SGS2
but don't expect to see anything for less than $600
you don't need to wait for GayT&T to release SGS2
the international version works just fine for the GayT&T network, not to mention it's unlocked from factory
the GayT&T version might be locked
Thanks for the reply, I feel like I'm in the world series and I'm in a pickle between home and 3rd in a tied game in the bottom of the ninth. Lol

Keep the Nexus S, even though the sgs2 is suppose to be faster, with all the bloatware and everything else on it that takes up RAM, you'll find no matter what phone even the EVO 3D will not be as smooth as NS. I highly suggest you keep it over the sgs2 you'll regret returning it, I'm willing to bet.

I feel like I'm gonna regret returning my NS whereas everything on this phone works flawlessly. Fml I really don't know what I wanna do. Lol
The only other thing in the back of my mind is that fact of how much I paid for this phone. Ugh

It may be years ahead, but it will never be as smooth as the NS, NS4G. Non develeoper phones have to much bloatware, and crap taking up ram. Where Nexus has nothing but android. Plus you see almost every phone forum trying or has developed AOSP to be exactly like the nexus. Everyone wants it, but no one will ever have it as flawlessly as we do, plus nexus gets updates 10x faster. Overall better.

True, but with the Note and the T-Mo GS2 using the same Qualcomm SOC, it's probably a safe bet that we'll get and official CM maintainer sooner than later.
I owned both the Galaxy Note and the Skyrocket and I have to say that I'm pleased with both. In regards to the SGS2, as mentioned by others on here, if you live in an LTE city then I would go with the Skyrocket, if you don't then I would just buy a used SGS2 on Craigslist or some other site since the beauty of Android phones comes with the ability to customize it and since you will be technically voiding your warranty if you do anything against Samsung warranty regulations might as well go for a use one.
skyrocket end of story.. I mean cmon we have ics, lte, a bigger screen, its a samsung
Gotta recommend the note as long as you are okay with the gigantic stature. Otherwise the skyrocket is awesome.

So your choices are:
GS2, iPhone 4S or Skyrocket.
If it's a choice between skyrocket and GS2, I'd say Skyrocket. Bigger screen, LTE, NFC. Unless of course development is really that important to you.
The headphone jack is very solid and secure. No probs playing sports or training with it. It won't budge.
The choice between iPhone and Android. Somewhat different story. For me I prefer Android: no iTunes, bigger screens (instead of the postage stamp screen on the iPhone), I love the turn-by-turn navigation on google maps, LTE and the fact it's customizable if I choose to do so (it's nice to have the option).
I brought up the thread for ICS which was a happy thing, but this is a sad topic. According to the att website, it is no longer available. It was on sale for a year, and it was one of ATT's biggest selling phone for a long time. It is now retired What are your thoughts on this? Btw heres the link to prove: http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/devices/cellphones.html
the infuse was out of production within about 3 months of release. any infuses sold after that were either overstock or refurb. this is no new news. no surprise. it's a nice phone with nice cameras and a big readable screen but it was the last single core flagship phone and was released after dualcores were common. it's out of date and less powerful than many second rate phones on the market today in processing power.
i dont think a better phone is necessary, but the hardware profile combined with the samsung firmware keeps rom ports from ever being viable without sacrifices. as much as i have loved the phone it's about to be time for something new.
I completely agree with Dani, when i purchased my infuse i knew it was second string with the galaxy s 2 already out. I was on a tight budget and it was the best option and im not surprised it is no longer for sale especially with the s3 coming very soon!
This is saddening but understandable news. I bought my Infuse back in November 2011, non-contract for $485 after taxes at my local AT&T store, the sales rep actually brought me out a Galaxy S II at first and asked me if I wanted that instead.
I paused for a moment and told him I did my research on both phones and told him I preferred the Infuse's specs. Was satisfied with the RAM, the single core, and impressed that it had better battery life; not to mention it was a good $100 cheaper. I was coming from the Motorola Backflip and just couldn't take the constant slow downs and limited internal storage any longer, and a bigger screen was what I needed.
Fast forward a few months, and here we are coming up on the stateside release of the Galaxy S III and ya know what, I'm still Infuse strong. Samsung did a better job on this phone than they realized. I'm not likely to get an S III because I'm still satisfied with this phone, even with my upgrade available in August. Don't get me wrong, the S III is an impressive phone in its own right, but now that we have ICS, I see no reason to jump ship, mine is sailing smoothly

I was coming from the Motorola Backflip and just couldn't take the constant slow downs and limited internal storage any longer, and a bigger screen was what I needed.
Fast forward a few months, and here we are coming up on the stateside release of the Galaxy S III and ya know what, I'm still Infuse strong. Samsung did a better job on this phone than they realized. I'm not likely to get an S III because I'm still satisfied with this phone, even with my upgrade available in August. Don't get me wrong, the S III is an impressive phone in its own right, but now that we have ICS, I see no reason to jump ship, mine is sailing smoothly

+1 on the not jumping ship part.
I dumped an Atrix for the Infuse and couldn't be happier. Faster boot, bigger screen and it performs better, running non rooted one-click 2.3.6.
I would be satisfied with one more "patch" update to fix the few bugs left in GB ... although I made my infuse a 100 times better last week by switching to straightalk lol

Sticking with Infuse but waiting on GOOG
With GOOG's announcement of a line of GNex devices this year I'm waiting on their offerings before giving up my Infuse to the kids.
The GSIII is impressive and so is the OneX. But the Infuse is a good phone for the money
I'd recommend the Ebay markets to get good deals if you're asked for a good non-contract smartphone.
Ohh on an off topic note. I tried to copy a home vid to my Mom-InLaw's new iP 4s and I couldn't. Even with iTunes and imported the video, I couldn't just copy it to the phone.
Android rocks, pure and simple.
Yeah... I am actually thinking about moving on to the S3. I love ICS. I have 2 infuses actually in the house. One is my gf's and one is mine. She doesn't need bluetooth, so I loaded hers up with Legend 2 with Apex and its AWESOME...
Now I look at mine on GB, I am like.... man.... I really like ICS in terms of speed and features. Its got some nice stuff....
So yeah, Infuse ICS w/o bluetooth really makes me sad...... So probably SGS3 coming my way.

Try using Holo Launcher, it is a near perfect copy of the stock ICS launcher. Makes me wonder why I need ICS when GB already runs smooth as butter.

Where's the race?
I use Go, and their last update introduced the ics animations for the app drawer. If all you are looking for is the feel and look, there are plenty of options via gingerbread. None really being the "winner" as with most things...its about personal preference.

Stop... Please stop.
There's absolutely NO REASON to buy an Infuse when the SGS2 i777 has been going on sale for $9.99 new directly AT&T.
If you qualify for a subsidized upgrade and don't mind being stuck in another two year contract do yourself a favor and get a SGS3, SGS2, or SGS2 Skyrocket.
This phone is dead to Samsung. There will be no further updates. While the devs here are doing great work, the most stable ROMs are derived from official releases or leaks from Samsung.
My Infuse was a great phone but it's been relegated to being a backup phone/MP3 player.

I wasn't advocating that anyone purchase this phone. This thread was titled "Infuse No Longer Available".....I was stating that yes they are still available.
I got my Infuse earlier this year, just wanting to get rid of my iPhone. Android is better on any and every occasion. Now I just wish that I had got the GS2 or saved up for the note...
