I know....I know - Captivate General

I know everyone hates these posts. The ones that some guy you don't know.will never know. and don't care to know, upgrades to a different phone and feels the need to say goodbye. Trust me I have seen plenty and I rolled my eyes too.
That said, I finally upgraded to the sgs2 last night and will be retiring my cappy. I just wanted to take a second to thank all the amazing developers in here. You guys honestly made the cappy better. I also want to thank all the people who helped me. The amount of knowledge you all have about this stuff is amazing. There.. I tried to keep it semi short and sweet. Just wanted to express my appreciation. ...... flame if you must.

enjoy your SG2 buddy.....and most of the captivate great devs has moves to SG2...so u will have same dev love there too....

Thinking about moving aswell

i think i'll stick with cappy for now, although i agree this website is amazing with all the knowledge for free........ thanks a bunch xda

I was skeptical about leaving the Cappy behind too, but when AT&T put refurb SGS2s online for $.01 well that did me in. My upgrade is on its way and I'll probably be handing off the Cappy to my wife who's stuck with an old iPhone 3G.
On another note I feel it's been neat to "sync" with some of the devs who had the Fuze like me and also moved to the Captivate when the time to upgrade came. Guess I'm going to be with them again in a couple days.

I think the captivate has been a great experience. From 2.1 all the way to having 4.0...what's next? Enjoy the s2

I love this phone, and I think the only thing that would draw me away is an amazing Galaxy S3, when I say amazing I mean a phone that won't be old news in a few months, one that blows current phones away, and is just spectacular.

might take my mytouch 4g back

and get the galaxy s 4g,been seeing the problems with this phone but that dang screen is very nice and i have just a few days to return it so good or bad move?
Good move! I did the exact same thing. Luckily my 14 days with the mytouch ended a day after the Galaxy S 4G came out. I love the nicer screen, faster data, and lighter weight / more comfortable feel. But I will admit this, i'm just using it for something to get me by until the pyramid or galaxy s 2 come out. If I was looking to keep it for a long time I would take into consideration that the MyTouch 4G will have much more support from the hacker community. CyanogenMod for example(my favorite rom that I used on my NexusOne) already has great support out for the Mytouch 4G while there is just now support coming for the Vibrant and you won't know if it will support HSPA+. So I guess My answer is that if you want the best option that's out right now, get the Galaxy S 4G. But if you have aspirations to hack and rom your device right now, you'll probably be happier with the MyTouch 4G.
And in case you're wondering, I have got noticeably higher data speeds with the GS4G. But I can tell that the MyTouch performs better when it comes to processing speeds.
I came from a mt4g.. I had I for about 3 months. Galaxy is the way to go.. it's just an all around joy to use

I have a question for you guys, my gf got the gs4g a couple days ago we live live in CA. And lets say the GS 2 come out how dose the return thing go
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I believe California has a 30 day return window. I highly doubt the GS2 will come out in that window but if it does you can return the GS4G, pay a restock fee and get the GS2.
Oh and if it dosnt is there a way to get out of the contract?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Nope. You want to make sure you have the phone you want within the buyers remorse period. I am not positive about CA policies but most places in the US the contact kicks in after 14 days. In CA I believe you can exchange phones within 30 days but you can't return it out right and get out of your contact after 14 days. You may want to check with your local store or call customer care for CA specific terms and conditions.
Thanks for your help, I realy apperciate it, so on the safe side if it within the first week it possiable to get out of the contract?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Should be fine. You return your phone and they revert you back to your original contact if you had one and reset your upgrade eligibility. You may have to pay a restock fee if they are applicable in CA.
Oh but I beleave she opened up her contract with this phone
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Then you should have 14 days to cancel your contact and service. You would just pay a prorated amount for how long you used your phone. Unfortunately it means you will have to cancel your service too and then just start fresh when a phone comes out you want. Just remember you can end up waiting forever for the "perfect" device. There is always going to be a better device on the horizon. The Vibrant and the GS4G are both good devices with active developers out there making ROMs and modifications for them.
i want it but dang if i could get by with it feeling so cheap.
I have gotten used to the weight but if it really bothers you a gel skin or a shell on it make it feel much more substantial.
Yeah thanks again for your help, your awesome man
This fourm already seems better then that of the epic there is nothing but trash talkers in there. Well I know there always a better phone but I hear that the gs2 is scheduale for this month and I know it just rummor but have you heard the specs, and well for an average user like my gf all she cars about is the 4.3 in screen and supper amoled plus

I don't think there will be as many as there are for the Vibrant but the good news is the major developers have already committed to providing support. Team Whiskey already has some ROMs ready to go, right now we are just waiting for CWR to work with the GS4G and then the ROMs will be coming. Since the phone is so similar to the Vibrant development will be a lot easier and some mods and ROMs can just be ported over. For example The Team Whiskey Frost ROM for the Vibrant is actually built on the GS4G ROM. They have already been working with this phone. So there should be decent support.

Yes, I will be going after the Hercules providing it doesn't have a Quallcom or Tegra 2. Samsung is innovating more than any other Android manufacturer right now and I will give my money to them for it. At this point their making some of the best displays, best mobile memory and best CPU's. They have also been updating like crazy lately.
Oh, and by the way. Your thread should be getting closed any minute now. There is a certain mod here who doesn't like when people talk about getting rid of his favorite phone.
I hate to admit it but I think I might once it comes out, I love my G2X but Sgs2 does look to be quite gorgeous, and I hate Samsung but they sure are coming a long way from the vibrant

Stop crying, no one gives a f*ck. Many people are here for information and have more than enough money to buy numerous phones without selling the last one. What's funny is the fact that you're still in this forum trying to justify selling your phone. And you get mad when no one gives a f*ck.

Yup, going to def get it. Can't wait, counting down the days. I got 5 lines so I got plenty of upgrades available, lol.

Other than that everything else looks good.

me, i'll be getting it for sure. probably sell my g2x to use towards it. and.....this will most likely be my last smartphone. i'm 43, have a wife,2 teenage daughters and a 2 year old boy. my $160 unlimited everything on 2 lines could be better spent elsewhere. i think i reached the point where i'm done paying these insane prices. hell, i rarely even make phone calls. and the only time i REALLY use the internet on my cell is to stream music while at work. i've come to this decision over the last few days. i thought the g2x would be my last major phone. but....mmmmm....hercules! lol. i'm not too concerned about the processor. like i said, last phone. and when att takes over, i'll probably just get a tracfone,or,......a jitterbug lol. i've had every other brand smartphone,except a sammy. so i can't leave the scene until i add that to my years of smartphones.

I'm always looking for the next greatest, but I think I'll stick with my G2X until the nexus 3 launches. This LG nonsense has taught me to stick with pure google cause manufacturers can be counted on for ignoring you after the sale.
Knowing about the AT&T take over, my plan was to buy a G2x outright and then use my upgrade within a year to lock me in to a price point.
I don't know about the Hercules. Sure it is a nice phone but a side step mostly. Kinda like the Nexus one to the nexus S. Both the G2x and SGS2 are great phones but neither warrant an upgrade over the other.... at least not worth paying money for. As a free upgrade I'd take one but not for another $200 or so.
I'll probably wait until after the new year and see what becomes available. My G2x is a beast of a phone and I have zero issues with it.

Hell to the yes. Although I bought the Sensation right out of the gate and was so underwhelmed, I might give it a couple weeks to see if there are any major issues. But I've been having creamy dreams about the herc since I first heard the rumors of it.

What am I crying about? What does having money or selling phones have anything to do with what I said? If that comment was meant towards myself, I held onto my G2X months after getting my Sensation and I still have my Nexus One. I sell my old phones after realizing I have no real use for them.
Thanks for proving my point though. I knew someone would. And by the way. I still have my G2X since the only jack ass who bid on the phone was a user with zero feedback and still hasn't paid. Looks like nobody even wanted it for $280. I may have overpriced it! At this point Ill probably just hold onto it if nobody here wants it. What's the point of selling it when I'm going to take a $300 hit. If that's the case, ill just keep it so I can still play the Nvidia games.

Here in the house ill be struggling with this personally. I came from the iPhone then captivate(swore last purchase EVER from Sammy) then nexus one then mytouch4g then nexus s then s4g then g2x. Now that being said. I still use the g2x my wife uses my nexus s and I kept the s4g around as a spare. Oh I forgot the HTC hd2. I have a real issue going to Samsung again. The captivate reallllly soured me and the nexus s was not a.large upgrade IMO over current market phones when it arrives. Its value was Google.
The debate for me is Hercules power or nexus 3 which is very likely to be Samsung produced as well but will at least be Google updated.

After reading the specs on that beast unfortunately I will be leaving my g2x behind and giving the hercules a try. I'm feeling that 4.5 inch display and samoled + if it truly looks as sexy as the Nexus s did thats a plus as well may even be my last phone.......until a quadcore comes around

Meh, the extra RAM doesn't mean much to me and I couldn't care less about storage space. As for screens, the G2X's is perfectly fine.
My next phone is probably going to be around the time when ICS comes out. I'm thinking 1.5 GHz dual core, maybe something in quad-core. And 1.5 GB ram, maybe 2. A significant jump is really what I'm aiming at here.

samsung infuse info

ok heres the deal im thinking of buying this phone by tonight and i was wondering what you guys recommend me if to buy it or does this phone has as much problems as the Samsung galaxy s vibrant i know its not in the galaxy s family but it is still Samsung. so what do you guys think should i get it? sorry if it was asked before ill be honest i didn't do my research to see if this was already asked or mentioned in this forum like i said i wanna make the decision by tonight. thank you in advance.
i've had the phone for about a month now and i couldn't be happier. Like most people have said, its ultimately an upgraded captivate with an amazing screen. I haven't had any bugs with it. It seems that the GB roms send to suck up the battery a lot faster though which prompted me to downgrade back to a froyo ROM (infused 1.6).
First droid, wife has iphone 4. This is way better! Worse pixels and you can see it on text and other things. I love it and don't think id go back. Iphone 5 is coming soon, so the droid that has to.compete with that will be epic, dual processors and all that. As of today tho i love mine

You skyrocket users are hilarious...I've seen several different skyrocket owners begging for devs on other sub-forums, not just this one...
Okay note self: Optimus-Prime... DO NOT, under no circumstance get a SGSII Sky Rocket. They have no devs. D:
I personally WILL NOT EVER be getting a Skyrocket. It's a proprietary phone just like the Infuse and therefore is one hell of a ***** to develop for. I'll be getting the SII, Vivid, or wait for the SIII.
The Skyrocket takes everything that was bad about the Infuse for developers (oddball hardware with major differences from anything out there) and takes it to whole new levels.
Infuse has maybe 70% commonality with other Samsungs - that 30% is obviously a major barrier to successful AOSP bringups, but at least the 70% means there's a lot of stuff that can be borrowed from other devices.
Skyrocket has maybe 5% commonality - means less desirability to developers AND less productivity/more frustration from the developers they do have.
We really don't have that many developers doing I777-specific work - but we don't need to because of the fact that we have a wealth of information to pull from the I9100 community, since our hardware is 95% common.
Give me a break. Nice topic

On paper it is a kickass phone. But other than that... It just sucks... Visually it is a eyesore. I mean, has anybody noticed that round/ovalish phones just loom ugly.

didn't know about all that and it kinda sucks...but just kinda. even on a stock ROM or one of the less than spectacular ones we DO have over in the SR forums, the SR runs much smoother. my only complaint would be my screen isn't as flawless as my Infuse was.
to those complaining of the "roundness" of the SR. yeah yeah, i also prefer the Infuse design, but it actuality, it's really not that much different than the Infuse.
if you live in an LTE area, the thing absolutely rips through data

Lemme tell you something. *Optimus Prime's Voice* If a device isn't doesn't have good looks I ain't buying it. I would pick up the SR in a jiffy if.it wasn't oval. Shove its internals in a Infuse body and I would be all over that.

I'd really recommend getting the Galaxy SII (not Skyrocket).
Just. Plain. Old. Sexy. Classy. SII.
The Skyrocket has a larger screen (4.5"), but from what I hear, it seems to have a few more issues than the SII original. Regardless, I still hear it's a great phone, but I think as far as getting future updates and Samsung support, original Galaxy SII is the safest bet.
If you really want a huge phone, look at the Galaxy Note.
And... Stay away from the Infuse. It's considered really old and outdated now. Yes, it's still a perfectly usable phone and it performs everyday tasks wonderfully. But when you can get the SII now for $100 or less, I just don't see why you'd want to lock into 2 years with a phone that is already a year old.
Plus, if you're a gamer, you definitely want to go with SII and not the Infuse. The RAM difference makes some games not be "compatible" with the Infuse.
To be honest, stay away from Samsung phones. I have two, a captivate and a infuse. I'm over Samsung because of the way they shelve their phones after a couple of months and all the problems in their software. I bought an Atrix 2 and its the best phone i have ever had. At first i wasnt sure about it because its a moto phone. Now that i have had it awhile i recommend this phone to anyone. Best battery life, 4 gb of space for apps and i got an over the air update on the second day of me having the phone. Its on the list for a ics update too. I have not had one single problem with this phone. Just my opinion but i would not get a samsung.

I guess I'm a Samsung fan boy. I have always had a Samsung, even before smart phones. I had a Captivate which I gave to my wife when I went with an Infuse. Really love the big screen and I would get a Note if I had the money.....Really doesn't matter if AT&t never pushes out any updates, because I am running CM7.
I recommend the Galaxy S II (i777). I like the Infuse and Skyrocket, but the i777 is perfect. I'd also recommend the Skyrocket over the Infuse, purely because of the RAM difference. The Infuse can't be my daily device, because I need more RAM. So, in my opinion . . .
Galaxy S II (i777) > Skyrocket > Infuse
Samsung may have its issues with software, but theres no denying that their products are well made. Almost everything in my house is made by Samsung. They never die.
That aside, what is your budget and requirements? If you have the money and like the size, get a Note. I've heard nothing but good things about it and developers here are already playing with it. There doesn't seem to be any love for the Skyrocket though. If you're strapped for cash, I'd definately look into the Infuse. The price fluctuates from $50 to free sometimes, so you might get a great deal on one. It's one of the best phones I've ever had. All of the software issues have already been resolved by the devs here. While it may be a little dated by 2012 standards, it handles almost everything I throw at it and you just can't brick it. That's something those ****ty HTCs and Motorolas can't claim.

Samsung is where its at and if you plan on rooting and flashing Roms sammies are 99% unbrickable. As long as you read.....and you WON'T find a more helpful community than the good folks on the skyrocket side!

Not bad
The infuse is a nice phone from what I have experienced. Doesn't look like it will get CM9 though so I would avoid it.
The screen is absolutely beautiful despite it's pitiful resolution. The colors are stunning and viewable from all angles making pictures better looking than what you took a picture of! Also sometimes I forget I am reading off of my phone when using google books and think it's my kindle.
RAM is pitiful (512?! Really Samsung??) but the phone operates smoothly despite.
Battery life is better than anything HTC has to offer.
I am personally looking for an Atrix 4g and it's laptop dock. Pretty sweet combo.
I got the skyrocket. Nice phone.
