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 .;-)

Donate it to LOSTLOGIC89!!

I concur,,if you can afford to do so donate to lostlogic89,,those of staying with the captivate for a while longer would probably all appreciate it

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.

Google Running Home Testing

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.

[GUIDE][HOW TO]Get 50 Gigabytes of Free Dropbox on ANY ROM (even stock!)

Hello Fellow Galaxians.
I am posting this as a quick tutorial. I answered this same question in another thread but since it got a bunch of traction I thought I would put it in this forum instead.
I am not taking credit for the file. I cannot really tell you who created the file. I am telling you how to use it and that it works fine.
PROBLEM - SPECIAL LUCKY HTC OWNERS GET AN EXTRA 48 GIGABYTES OF DROP BOX WHEN THEY USE THEIR PHONES.
HTC made themselves a marketing deal last year. You might have noticed it, but HTC users who load up their phones are welcome to launch a preinstalled Dropbox app that gives them an additional 48 gigs of dropbox storage. This is 2 gigs normal + 48 gigs extra = 50 gigs total.
No other manufacturer has this marketing deal.
SOLUTION - FLASH A FILE AND TRICK DROPBOX INTO THINKING THAT YOU ARE USING AN HTC HANDSET. GET 48 GIGS MORE STORAGE!
Q. - So how does this work?
--Simple, you are flashing a special version of the software that makes dropbox think you are using an HTC phone.
Q. - Is it safe?
--As safe as any other flash you do to your phone. Do a backup. Do one. Have you done one? Better do one now!
Q. - Is it forever?
--Once the dropbox server sees you are using this version of the software, you get the extra space for two years from the time of install
Q. - If I reflash does it stick?
--Yes, dropbox doesnt know if you are using a different phone in the future or the same phone without the special HTC signature saying you are okay for the extra space.
**EDIT: I have read some users lose their space, but cannot confirm it. I dont know... If you were to reflash or move to another rom, you should be able to reflash the package. BACKING UP. BACK UP. DID I SAY THAT ENOUGH??
Q. - Will this work on (my phone model # inserted here?)
--Yes, it should work on any model or phone. I make no guarantees, i have only done this on my rooted, stock rom VZW s3 but in theory yes. it should work. THAT IS WHY YOU BACKUP RIGHT??
-=BACKUP NOW. DONT DO IT, DONT COMPLAIN IF BAD THINGS HAPPEN=-​
SIMPLE STEPS TO FOLLOW:
1. Force stop your current drop box app
2. Clear all data
3. Remove the app
4. Download the zip file from this link
5. Be sure to put it on the root of your sd card or internal storage
6. Boot into recovery
7. Flash the zip from step 4
8. Reboot your device.
9. Android will show updating, let it do its thing
10. Sign in to the new drop box app
11. After a few minutes get 48 gigs free for 2 years.
PROFIT.
**NOTE:
If you are new to dropbox, there are a few things you need to do in order to get this working. They are basic like liking them on facebook, tweeting them... Nothing hard, and it will take you only a few minutes.
**CLICK THANKS IF THIS IS HELPFUL TO YOU**​

Confirmed this worked. Dropbox on my desktop just announce that I have 50.8GB now.

Why when I flashed this why did it say modifying 22 app? Also can the app be updated or no????
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

don't know
I've flashed each version of beans all the way up with the 50gb yet i have never received the bonus space, even after trying this method several times on an earlier date I still had no luck. I'm positive I'm doing nothing wrong, still unsure of what the problem could be. If this is so easy for everyone else can I request someone do it twice and make an account for me with the space. I will be greatful. PM me or aim if you can do it

After a reboot it will tell you android is upgrading. This is normal. Dropbox should be able to upgrade no problem.

mine is just 50.75 but still amazing

If I remember correctly I did this once before, got the 50gb and lost shortly (a few days ) after for some reason

I did this not owning a Galaxy S3 or HTC device. About three weeks later I got snagged and space removed. This has happened on multiple occasions.
Damn.

Thanks a lot for this, 52GB in DB now. I was reading an article a while back and it was explaining why Verizon didnt want to opt in to this, apparently after the two years DB said they will start charging people for having the extra 50GB on their account.

You probably flashed this or another apk at some point to get the original 50GB free storage(As did I), but from dropbox forums they say that if you flashed an unauthorized version, they flag your account and remove the storage. I know this because it happened to me. When I asked if I could get back my storage I was met with "we do not offer that promotion on Verizon wireless"... Just so you all know.....:|

Thanks, that was easy! Got 50 Gb of storage now!

Thanks guys!!!

thanks man. got it and it shows that i have been using the tethering. Just what i wanted to know :good:

I think I've heard of other carriers looking into it if they notice an unusual amount of data. At which point they would charge you for the data you used or terminate your contact. However T-Mobile doesn't have contracts anymore, so. . . Not sure.
I think they mess with that though. I have about 1GB used every month for hotspot. Even though I have never used it. Not even once. Called a rep and they were just like "Uh yeah that's uhhhhhhh really weird".

I have 500mb of tethering but I used about 2.5GB just tethering last month (about 3.5gb total) and haven't gotten billed anything extra.

I've never heard of anyone on TMO getting billed for tethering after the fact (the onus is still on them to stop it at their own limit), but they sure throw the upsell page in a hurry. Also, I wouldn't be too shocked if they begin killing accounts that deliberately abuse their terms of service. (That is to say, tether-cheat at your own risk, no whiners when you get busted).

Sorry, thats what I meant. I've never seen that screen that people are talking about. Probably because it's a Nexus and all the previous phones I've had all had international roms on them.
They definitely won't terminate accounts without notifying people. As long as people don't use like 100GB a month, I don't think they really care too much.

Well the good thing is that if they start to get worse, I can just leave and not have to pay anything. Tmobile isn't the cheapest carrier around, so if they become like ATT or verizon, it's as simple as paying the final bill and canceling the service.

thanks guys. gonna keep an eye on it and try some things

When it comes to tethering over the limit, who outdoes TMO? They're the best value (not necessarily cheapest) for speed, customer service, and policies...it may sound cliche, but they ARE shaking things up. More power to'em, I say.

Absolutely. They've been really good so far, I was just saying if they turn into one of those "other" carriers, there's really no reason to stay. Hopefully they keep doing things that other carriers were too scared to do. :good:

Damn they hit me with hotspot upsell page after using 46gb in a week and a half that sucks! Anybody have a solution around besides just adding a user agent switcher?

the other is a pink key ring... updated yesterday...
i dunno, but i uninstalled the second one since it asks for all kinds of data regarding my phone, i dont want to give them data or facts regarding my device. even after i had the settings not collect it, it knew even the device was rooted.
im keeping the older one, it doesnt collect stuff.. even tho it doesnt show the 100mb tethering i have now

Initial impressions of Samsung Pay

So today I went ahead an opened a Bank of America account so I could try Samsung pay.
Initial setup: Initial setup is a pain, you have to call BoA after you open the account and answer 4 obscure questions from your "credit check".
Usage: I've used the card 3 times now. I've discovered you want to scan your finger print after the machine is waiting for the card. If you scan your fingerprint before the swipe card, you can actually crash the POS machine. So today I crashed a local gasstation POS.
If anyone has any questions, shoot away.

Has anyone else experienced this or can emulate the results?

I have not experienced this. I got my account working yesterday but have had mixed results. It worked using NFC at McDonald's, but I haven't been able to get the MST to work, it failed at Starbucks and a local frozen yogurt place.
I feel like such an idiot when it doesn't work, with the cashier looking at me like "why are you putting your phone next to where I swipe a card?"

I've had mixed results so far. When it works, it works great! I have found that while it may work at some places, there are some lime 7-11 that it doesn't. I get declined at 7-11
Sent from my SM-N920T using XDA Free mobile app

I've been using samsung pay at different locations using the MST technology and it all work's just fine. When I say MST I mean places that's don't even have NFC terminals. So far loving Samsung Pay

I use it with the nfc off. Only mst everywhere. I find its has worked everywhere but one of the two 711s I've been to, and the Starbucks I frequent.
It seems when ever I use it where there is no nfc, the cashier is always sooo curious. Prolly deal with apple pay users everyday throwing a fit they don't have the technology yet.
I agree. Sooooo embarrassing when it doesn't work. I also try not to use it where the scanner is on the POS systems behind the counter(like starbucks).

Yes, you can use it without NFC on, but only if you are using the MST type of transaction.

Has anyone that had Samsung Pay had to do an exchange and gotten Samsung Pay back on the new device?
I had to exchange my note 5 and I thought maybe because it was link to my account I would still have it but I don't.
I guess I have to go through the whole process again, but I don't even see the link live for new testers

I had to exchange my note 5 and I thought maybe because it was link to my account I would still have it but I don't.
I guess I have to go through the whole process again, but I don't even see the link live for new testers

Thanks, that's a flashable zip, but I'm not rooted yet.

Ok people! (sorry for all caps just wanna get my message across).... For everyone having issues with it at like starbucks and 7-11....what i've found out that works for me is to run it as "credit"... Don't use it as debit.... I think it confuses the pos somehow? Give it a try!

Yes but the apk is inside the zip in the app\SasungPayStub folder. I haven't ran stock in a long time but I thought you can use a file explorer and sideload the apk can't you? You need to make sure that Unknown sources is turned on in your Lock screen and security settings.

I've had mixed results so far. When it works, it works great! I have found that while it may work at some places, there are some lime 7-11 that it doesn't. I get declined at 7-11

I got declined at first at 711 but that was cause the person behind the register canceled payment when I put phone up cause he didn't know that SSP works with their old system. I told him it works and he set it to pay again and he was mind blown

I contacted SP about this, and they told me they wouldn't be updating any IMEIs anymore because it was so close to the launch date. Sucks, but we just have to wait until Monday (12am PDT I'm told).

Yeah true, didn't realize it's supposed to launch in Monday. Guess I'll wait lol. That's probably what the new update is about, to be able to get Samsung Pay easier to the masses.
Thx for the heads up

what sucks is that even though when it was announced chase was suppose to be a partner i dont see any info anywhere that backs it up anymore. very limited in terms of what cards can be used.

Does anyone know if I go back to stock am I able to use Samsung Pay? Or once your rooted Knox is tripped for good. Haven't used a Sammy phone in a while

Sorry, once you've tripped knox, you no longer can use Samsung Pay.
