Will the Jig that I use with my Samsung Captivate work on an Infuse ? I'm picking up an Infuse tomorrow and I don't want to start flashing until I have a jig ready just in case Jig was purchased from Mobiltech
Thanks

As long as the jig has a 300 ohm resistor tied to pins 4 and 5 you should be good.

I can't find anything small enough to fit inside the plug to measure the resistance
Based on the reference above, you should be fine. Sometimes you can take it to Radio Shack and usually they can confirm the ohms. You could most likely Google as the color bands on the resistor are indicators of the ohms.

I sent them an email earlier, they have not responded yet.
Also do you think i will have any problems using the sim card from my Captivate ? Its about 4 years old, says 3G and is white and blue.
Thanks
No problem but I go to AT&T about every 12-14 months as I change between phones quite often. They should give you a new one free.

I'm on an old data plan, Unlimited Data + 200 text messages for $19.95 which was from a non-smartphone a long time ago. Used a Samsung Jack for a year and my Captivate for over a year and at&t never said anything. Thats why I try to stay away from at&t, lol. Hopefully I won't get caught when i use the Infuse

Good deal - I have unlimited data and 200 texts for 39.95, a carry over from the original iphone. Got an International SGS3 6 weeks ago and had to go to AT&T to get a micro sim card, the rep just left the Infuse as my phone of record so after a close call, all is well

LoL, so you know what i'm talking about.. When I go into my online account it does show the Captivate as my current phone. I try not to abuse it and usually stay around 1 gig a month, flying under the radar, :laugh:
Under the radar is the best place,, don't really like any of the new plans, so gonna be careful.

I think the usb jig works for most (all?) samsung galaxy devices - captivate, infuse, sgs2, etc

Picked up the Infuse today. The jig does work
I flashed the INFUSED rom (froyo version) for now, nice and smooth. Not getting 4G service though. I even picked up a new sim card but that didn't help. Its probably because i'm on that old Media Net plan.
Did a few speed test and my highest was 7 down, not going to complain about that.

Glad to hear all went well. The Infuse was advertised as 4G but in reality it is 3G+ "delivered by backhaul." All I'm sayin' is you do indeed have good speed and I hope you enjoy the phone. :good:

yeah it's a widespread known issue.
After swapping out a NS4G with issues my new one is a champ. Pulling in better speeds than the first one and is at least on par with the EVO for me.

Again Fixxer enough is enough man. Not everyone suffers the issues, none of us know why, but that is how it is. Stop bashing Samsung, and stop overtaking topics at every single forum you possibly can. Just drop it.. You have been flooding Android Central, Sprint community and this. You are bashing Samsung with incorrect info, and then bashing Google. You obviously don't know..

Not every phone has the issue. Since I went from about 20-50kbps on the old one to 450-1100kbps (3G) on the new one.......I'm pretty confident in my claim.
Pulled down 13Mbps on 4G today as well. I'm also seeing steady wifi signal readings vs the first one which was all over the place.
Nice try, though.
Those numbers using multiple speedtests and Speakeasy.net and also in the same house and at work.

All it takes is one ignorant person to make people believe something. Despite what basically one person advocates, reception and data speeds are NOT horrible. Sprint employees will tell u anything. If anything....it's the network itself not the phone.

It's showing you have no bars for 4G? So i'm guessing the signal you have to the 4G tower is weak. Try getting closer, and post results. Just as Wi-Fi, Wimax will lower speeds as signal lowers. Wi-Fi runs at 2.4ghz and Wimax is at 2.5ghz, and both of those will suffer when your losing decibels and RSSI to that signal.

Umm no he wasn't lied to.. Sprint is getting direct information from Google and Samsung. As in the topic posted below showing a Google employee helping with the issue, and now listing it later on it that topic as reported to the dev team and that they are working on a fix. Sprint has never once released any sort of press release on any device concerning issues. Sure didn't with all the EVO problems.

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...

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

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..
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.

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.

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?

Hey everyone I am new to this forum and man it has alot of good infos. I have a nexus one and now planning to get a new phone and g2x caught my attention as i saw alot of them going for cheap on craigslist. I was wondering how G2x is in terms of reliabilty? I did come across alot of people complaining about the phone rebooting itself and some other issues. So i was just curious if it would be a better upgrade to a nexus one Thanks
After installing Custom ROMS and Kernels, the G2x is sweet.
but its six of one, half a dozen of the other...
Doing so will technically void the warranty on your new phone (if used, pffffsssshhhtt...install to your hearts content). But doing so will also make it run so awesome, youd prolly never need to file warranty claim.
Also when done right, it is fully reversible back to "stock" should you need to send it in.
Thanks to xda members and staff, the tool set for flashing the g2x is solid, well documented, and damn near full proof against permanent bricking.

Nice thats what I was hoping for. I want to get an used one so I guess using the custom roms should be ok for me. Will look around the market a little more for some and look around here for more infos on roms and stuff as I am fairly new here .
i picked up a 2nd very clean (like new) g2x off ebay for 180. With all the new devices rolling out, last years models are going cheaper. also keep in mind, TMO is having huge sale the 11th
http://bit.ly/A5eQDW
Everything "free", if you sign new or re-up contract, and do MIR. TMO will often offer the g2x free as a web only deal. keep checking if you want new.
Wow you got a deal on ebay, they usually go higher than that. Yea I checked those phones looks like they are giving the g2x for free too. I was thinking about getting one for free and get a two year contract but they told me that I got to get a new plan for that too which kind of sucks. Right now paying 79$ for 1500 mins unlimited text+10$ web2go(1 line) for 4 lines which I think is an ok deal hate to see this one go. I am out of contract too.
G2x great phone. Craigslist problems. Too many post from people purchasing from Cragslist and the phone not working or being blacklisted. You should do face time with seller and phone before making payment.
Or just buy a nexus s on Craigslist, way better imho, specially coming from n1

They're blacklisted when reported stolen. I would put your SIM card in the phone and make a phone call, send an SMS, and test data before you buy it.

So the nexus S is much better? Hmm now I am confused :S lol. How are the specs different I thought the g2x has a better screen and better processing power and more data speed right?

ive had both and i can tell you that the nexus s is way better, just look at all the posts in there respective forums and that should tell you right away, look at all the g2x owners who say "nvidea never again" plus custom/roms/options/and the fact they EOL'd the g2x...nuff said...you own a nexus one so it should be a no brainer to stay with the nexus line...

Or just buy a nexus s on Craigslist, way better imho, specially coming from n1

First of all he's asking about the g2x, not what phone he should buy and before u post saying how the nexus s is better, u should give a reason and be specefic. The op doesn't know the phone so don't be general.

NS still get up to 5 down 3.5 up, unless u are a heavy tether-er do you really need more? plus u dont pay the $10 more for the 4g plan
plus you get ICS with the NS, something g2x users will be drooling over for a while

Dont get Nexus s, my wife has it. While it is a pretty good phone, g2x IS better. Nvidia had released all the drivers, ics isnt that big of a deal, i had to install cm7 on that phone because stock ics had bugs.

Google through some company named GfK, have sent me some random letter to my house saying I have been randomly chosen to participate in random testing concerning the way I use TV, Smart phones, Computers and tablets with benefits and a tiny little payout..They also included a REAL $2 bill as "incentive" I guess. They don't know that I own any of this so I assume they "maybe" would be sending me these things. (I already own 2 Xooms, A Kindle Fire, 2 laptops and 5 Android smartphones but how would they KNOW this?). Just kinda odd and random I guess.
Anyone else got one of these or can provide me with more details as to what it is? has anyone here ever done one of these and what is it? i'm uncomfortable with it because it was random. So I thought I'd ask my homies here on XDA.
I did Google and find this too. http://www.google.com/landing/screenwisepanel/
I attached a copy of the letter.

Is is a good idea though or no?
Hey Freshly_Snipes, this is a interesting little letter you have received. I am going to keep up with this thread, please keep us all up to date with what becomes of this.
Sucks we can't sign up to get the black box anymore, cause that would of been perfect. Honestly, unless you're a terrorist, child pervert/sexual predator. There is no reason not to sign up.
Not sure how one gets on these lists, but I have gotten letters like this from time to time for other tech companies (usually they come with a $5 bill, lol). They are legit but usually require more effort than their merger pay out is worth. You must track and report a lot of info (sometimes you even allow them to do the tracking via certain devices), giving out a lot of private data in the process and spending a bit of time to do it. I usually pocket the $5 (in this case apparently its $2) and move on with my life.

Why can't I get the black box???
I think I am going to try it out and if I don't feel comfortable or it becomes to tedious I'll just stop. I hope they don't "force me" to stay reporting if I choose to.

I wish I was lucky enough to get signed up on Googles tester list. You are one lucky guy man. As for what to do with the player, I would use it for a development device.
Thats just awesome man! Glad you got chosen! I am a trender so I only get the gift cards lol.
Nice! Wish I was that lucky!..........

Hmmm, I just signed up for the screen wise panel myself. You can google it and sign up, it's really easy. I wonder if they'll send out a letter, etc.
