Holy moly - Captivate General

I just got a Captivate about 3 days ago, and WOW I LOVE IT!! My friend/brother got it from his real brother (they traded stuff) and I traded him a 4GB DDR3 stick of ram that you can get on newegg for $20 . I thought this thing wouldn't be able to do up to date gaming and stuff AND I thought that there wouldn't be able to do alot of rooting/installing custom roms etc..... but wow was I wrong. This thing has alot of choices available to it for roms, and I can play games like Real Racing 2 easily . I'm also glad to have an android device period to finally have a portable linux device and a pmp (which is what I wanted an android device for) that supports FLAC. All In All this thing ROCKS! I never thought a phone through at&t even if its made by samsung would be this badass

Cool story bro...

Like me lol, I just used my GPS to get to a friends house (he recently moved there) and had no issues . Speakers work beautifully and everything else is ever so amazing. I have had boot loops and whatnot... but I'm still fairly rusty/new to installing custom roms. I only have CM7 atm because it was a REALLY easy tutorial to follow on the wiki

Lol. Im on my fourth captivate. Traded 3 in under warranty. 2 for gps(gave up on that), 1 for random shutdowns, and if this one was under warranty, I'd replace it because the speaker goes in and out.
I guess some people are lucky. Or maybe I'm just really unlucky.

I've had mine over a year and the only problem I've had was my speaker quit working but they are only $25 and so I bought a new one. No random shut down, no freezes, nothing.

Yup, captivate is awesome! I've had mine since 2010 and it performs beautifully. I honestly think I could go 1-2 more years with it before getting a new phone. Always took good care of it so I have no issues since I acquired it.

Oh yeah. My contract is up in June. Once a good stable version of ICS is available from the devs, I probably won't go after a new phone for a while and save my upgrade until a quad core phone comes out.

Ya it is amazing , I'm rocking ICS with glitch and I can tell you that its really nice. I don't use my cappy as a phone, kinda dont... I use G.Voice here n there, but likek 99% as a PMP so I don't know how perfect the phone features work, but everything else is amazing. I have this thing OC'd to 1.52GHz and its so amazing!!

mine can go to 1.86GHz haha I rule the cappies!

The only random shut downs on my Captivate have been kernel related, my GPS has always worked as well as any Captivate GPS works (wonky at best, but functional), and I've never had my speaker stop working. As b-eock said, not everyone has the issues some have, you also have to keep in mind that forums attract people with problems - there are many more out there walking around in the world with Captivates in their pockets that work just fine.

Go for sensation.
The software support of G2x is sub-par. And HTC with unlocked bootloader makes XDA devs life even more easier.
I'd go for g2x. Dust under screen is a big problem with sensation

i need to get 3 phones total (1 for me 2 for parents) dropping 600 is kinda out of my price range. Do you think 2 50 year olds will notice the problems with the g2x if i flash it with one of the nicer roms from here? (they still have a samsung tsomething dumb phone)
Might get a sensation for myself and g2xes for them. What do yall think?

I have both, for people who are not as tech savvy get the Sensation if possible. Sense is annoying for us but it is much easier to use than stock Android.
Also the G2X with GB is still a bug plagued mess. If you flash with CM7 or something might be fine - problem is if they get SOD and don't realize it - no one will be able to reach them. Make sure if you get them G2Xs, you train them on how to remove the battery to restart - will be doing that often..
I have both phones, tend to prefer the g2x over the sensation as did my parents
kept the g2x for myself though as i can tinker around with it and i found sense to be a bit bloated, but thats just me
has anyone tried the offical gingerbread on g2x yet? reboot still an issue?
I'm running it now. No reboots or freezes or any problems so far with me. I never really had any problems in the first place. I'd go with a g2x if I were you. Sensation and g2x both have issues...

Maybe going to get another G2x for the hell of it.

And yet another nail in the coffin for my G2X resale value.
G2x about 300 to 375 on ebay....Sensation about 375-425, given the amount of returns for dust under the screen on the sensation, the refurbs have not hit the market yet....much more G2x's with screen returns that need no rework to send back out.....give the reworked Sensations a bit more time and the price of both will be near the same.
oh wait, your sig....tell me you did not get rid of the sensation....say it ain't so
I have another one on the way.

Nope cause I canceled the data plan on the other line and just moved it to the new line... now I will have 3 lines, 2 g2xs with data plans and the other a cheap flip phone without.. Before I had a g2x with data and a crappy flip phone with data cause her vibrant broke so the flip was temporary, but now where just moving the data plan from her flip to the g2x and that now will be her primary phone..

What should I do now with my crappy?

Well I upgraded to the sgsII. But I have mixed feelings about what to do with my trusty cappy. No one in my family wants it and none of my friends around here have atnt...
I dont know if I should sell it or keep it as a backup. It seems like just a waste to leave it sitting around in the box. Besides it's basically a brand new phone (2 week old 11.02 built/refurb) Never has been messed with. (Roms) No blemishes or marks at all. No sleep death or gps issues. I just got it replaced due to a crappy gps.
Should I be able to get at least $200 for it if I got the ebay route? I have everything it came with plus a otter box commuter.
ebay the puppy or donate it to a DEV .;-)

Does it mean they fixed GPS issues in newer/refurb captivates? Could you confirm what build is safe, or what to look for? I might pick one up for mom.
same situations except mines is older. mine just sits on my desk. thinking about using it like an ipod touch or something. how much would this go for anyway if we were to sell? no one has answered that except to give it to them for free.

Sorry man they run around 150-200ish. Yours with case prolly 180. Wasn't stallin or beggin just figured you could checkout ebay and craigslist yourself to find out what they are selling for.
Steve
sides most of us was suggesting someone we have no personal contact with or knowledge of other than the excellent work done to make the captivate a better phone,,and done without one
ebay is your best bet.
You can mail it to watsa so he can keep developing captivate roms

It's a refurb that I got 2 weeks before this posting. 10.12 built.
Ive been trying ebay with a $200 buy it now. comes with everything, and a otterbox commuter etc.
Only people that seem to be bidding are from Russia, Ukrian. They have fake ebay accounts with us address but they cannot checkout thru a non us paypal. It' seems to be a 99% scam. I might post it here in the market if this continues to happen. I hate it. I even have like size 7 font in red telling them not to bid etc lol
I would really love to see a developer that makes a media player rom. Basically what I'm thinking of is an ipod touch like u.i. so I can keep my cappy around as an awesome storage device/mp3 player/wifi only browser after my upgrade.

There is a thread somewhere that does that very thing. I think it was called Captivate Touch.
Just give it to LOSTLOGIC. All in favor?
talk to josh from mobile tech videos. he was looking for a captivate a while back to do videos with. im sure you guys could come to some kind of agreement.

Q3 rollout though? It might as well not be coming out at all. I feel certain that sometime between now and Q3 I will not be able to resist picking up some stupidly powerful quadcore tegra3 (or similar) device which will have launched with ICS, and probably for a decent price.
It all leaves me imagining that Motorola only have a single solitary developer with a shoestring budget tasked with putting out the software upgrades for their existing range of phones. Why else would it take so long?
Anyway, looks like our own wonderful development community is the place to pin our hopes for some kind of ICS goodness, within a reasonable time frame.

Not a big fan of the trombone. I mean, I respect it as an instrument, and the people who play it as musicians, but it would have been much more helpful if you had picked something like a cello (which I also like much more than the violin).
You know, just FYI.

We'll get ICS WAYYYYYY before Q3. The dev are working on it as we speak the only thing stopping them is that they're missing the telephony.apk which we need in order to connect to a GSM network. Without it we have a really small tablet with ICS.
Since we know that there is ATLEAST 1 dev in Motorola working on it that means that there will be a working APK with any betas/alphas that get out into the wild. As soon as that happens you can bet jim or lfaber will jump on it and fisnish their ICS masterpiece and maybe make CM7 or CM9 with it.

That is exactly correct!!!
So everyone keep checking cheesecake, ALL servers at least once a day, that is how we will find an early version, as we did with 2.3.6 months before it was out officially. If we get that, then yes we can get CM9 working.
I might have CM7 out here by the weekend, at least that is what I am hoping, but it is still not ICS, it is the 2.3.6 version.
I know its not as fast as we'd prefer, but isnt it nice to hear SOMETHING official from Moto about this phone? We all have been in limbo, heard assumptions, conflicting rumors/"inside" info, so I like that we at least know the future of our device, officially.

Well, after trying every phone out there (including a brand new unlocked Galaxy Nexus (returned), SGSII, HTC Vivid, etc.) I can say without a doubt the A2 is the all-around best android phone out there for AT&T. I have come back to it everytime after finding the other phones were either cheaply built, couldn't hold a signal, couldn't obtain gps lock, or took crappy pics. While the A2 doesn't do any one thing extraordinarily better than other devices, the phone does everything well with good battery life and great screen to boot.
ICS will definitely make the A2 a keeper, especially if can finally unlock the bootloader for some custom kernel goodness
Q3 is July - September, when September comes expect an announcement about delays and when 2013 come expect your atrix 2 on ebay.

Thinking of jumping ship....

I've been thinking about this for a while now. I'm keeping my g2x until the new nexus phones come out, and then sticking to pure nexus phones from Google. I'm sick of waiting for venders and carriers to work together for releases, and I'm sick of crap that carriers add to phones which is useless and slows them down. I normally root my phone and install CM on it anyway, but with the g2x even that isn't a 100% working solution anymore.
By the way, I read that Google is releasing up to 5 different nexus phones from different vendors around Thanksgiving this year. I'd wait for that!

No, in fact if you search up my previous post, my G2X, is one of the few that has zero flaws.
I'm jumping ship because the Sensation has more Dev support. (Really a lot of dev) They recently got official CM9.

I searched for 10 seconds and found both of these. It's pointless to make a thread like this, especially with the OP's statement, does he want a cookie for wanting a sensation? Lastly OP my interest is not to stock what you have said in other threads, if you make a new thread make it worthwhile to read for the community, not something useless and informative.
Hey XDA I just had Chipotle, and added way too much Cholula to it.
If you're gonna jump ship, just do it.
The community for the G2x has been flawless, but I have seen the future, and I left it for the GS II. Man, they're a live one over there. Everyone's awesome and welcoming; a bit impatient at times when they ask for ROM updates (lol smh), but generally nice people.
Now all the devs here are a capable bunch, and they've managed to do what LG/T-Mobile/Nvidia couldn't do. I've said this time and time again. But without those 3 giving this phone even half of the effort, we suffer ultimately. In Driver support, Camera support, ICS support, annoying bugs going unfixed. The devs have to pick up all the slack, and that sucks. I left because of the circumstances that those 3 have put us in, and I'd say it's a fair assessment.
But if you're gonna jump ship, I suggest you don't do it for whoever gets ICS first. There's no way I would have gone to the Sensation, too many hoops to jump through, S-OFF, bootloader, etc. That phone's pretty thick too, not enough internal memory either (Nice camera though). Jump when you decide your time here has come to an end, when you have felt like you can enjoy this phone no longer, or if you feel you just need an upgrade/better spec'd phone. I believe those are valid reasons, as well as explanations that don't tick off the rest of the community. x) Cheers on your future smartphone endeavors!
ya i was on the same boat when the phone came out but meh there is a lot of things that i love about this brick lol but mind you the galaxy S3 is coming out so i might go out and buy one of those this summer
Just jump already
It all depends on what you want the phone to do for you... and what you are willing to do for the phone!

previously owned the sensation and I believe that the g2x is way smoother and feels better in the hands, though the dev community over there is rocking
Really? G2X feels better in the hand? I got to try it out at the store, been looking to get my hands on a sensation off craigslist for a good price, probably trade for my GS2.
I'm sentimental with my devices, also, have lots of back NANDROIDS of the G2X and need to get my data out of them before selling it. Actually thats the only reason I still hang on to my G2X. Too lazy to move my stuff out of it. I can, just don't feel like it.

Welcome to the S3 family! Hope you enjoy your new device! So far I love my S3 on ATT.
Very nice, I pre-ordered the same phone (32GB White), Can't wait to get mine as well. I went to the sprint and T-mobile stores to check it out but it just wasn't the same as having your own. Best of luck, owning my awesome GS2 is what made me want this phone so bad, so this phone should be pretty damn amazing as well.

Let me get a few things setup.
Do you want a data speed test or quadrant benchmark?
Congrats! Enjoy your new device!

I would appreciate you running the benchmark as well when you get everything set up. I ran the quadrant in store on a T-mobile version and was a little underwhelmed by the score when compared to my GS2, so I am hoping it was just a fluke or something cause the specs on these phone should make it have some pretty impressive scores. Thanks
Lucky! I'll probably have to wait until mid-late next week for mine. Enjoy!
Congrats! I love my sgs3. Best phone I've ever owned.

How is the signal strength? The galaxy nexus was on the poor side.

Again i'm home and my block is a dead zone for some reason. Signal streangth seems normal for my house 2 bars. As far as data, as soon as i take off wifi i drop into 3g.
