So the Netflix app is now unofficially available for our Samsung Captivates. BUT you need a Gingerbread Rom for it to work. I've just tested it, it works on Continuum 5.4.1. Really great stuff. So this is the first cool app we can get that is only for Gingerbread. Note, you must download...

I had Serendipity 6.3, but it was draining power so badly. I tried every trick in the book to fix it. I was going to go to Cog 4.3, but people have said it had all sorts of 'sleep death' issues. Anyway, nothing seemed to work so I went to stock 2.2. My power drain went away. Problem is...

Under Battery Use, (Settings>About Phone>Battery Use), does it ever show information about how much battery the various applications are using? I skipped the stock 2.2 and went straight to Cog 4, but in stock 2.1, Battery Use used to show more info than it does now.

I hope everyone knows about the dangers in accidentally giving out your location by sharing a photo with a geo-tag embedded. If you don't know about this, read about the MythBusters guy in the NY Times. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/12/technology/personaltech/12basics.html Anyway...

The gps tagging on/off setting seems to be completely gone in the camera app. I'm on Cog 3.01, but apparently this is the case for other of froyo roms. Pretty big security issue if you ask me. It's really easy to accidentally share your home address in photos. It seems to tag shots...

So I just updated my phone to use froyo (cognition 3.01) from JH7 Eclair. I'm curious about all the stuff that's unique in 2.2 vs. 2.1, (not just something that is specific to Cognition). That especially goes for nice little under the radar stuff, that people forget about. Here are a few...

And in which countries etc. I'm curious.

No idea what's wrong, itll say starting download, then it won't do anything and will disappear.

From Radioshack at the web-only price! Thought people should know. Although price goes up to $160 if you're upgrading non-primary lines on your family account? Confusing. But someone should be able to work that deal. Samsung Captivate for AT&T - RadioShack Wireless

So let's say I flash a rom and I do not like it, there are bugs or whatever. If I restore a nandroid backup that I made before I flashed the Rom, will that revert my phone to the same as it was before I messed around with the rom flashing? I've been getting impatient with the whole...

I'm just saying it because I believe AT&T is going to steeply discount a lot of their phones around Black Friday in order to get people on new 2 year contracts before any Verizon Iphone comes out. And then there's the whole thing with the official Froyo version coming out in November (we hope)...

In the Youtube App on Captivate: I tried to search for this song "being a dickhead's cool" , and it just won't show the search results. When I try to change the SafeSearch settings, the option is grayed out. WTF, I feel like I have an Apple phone. PS, funny song by the way.

I cannot find the option anywhere. I just want to change how the alarm sounds for a calendar event. I go into Calendar settings, it's not there. Where is it? 'm using Android 2.1 and a Samsung Captivate.

Anyone try this? Definitely works, and it's fun and you get a snack when you're done. Might be useful for the winter.

What are options for using the web browser with white text on black? I really want this option because it is so much easier on the eyes and better for battery as well. I've tried this option in the e-reader for reading and it makes a world of difference although its something to get used to a bit.
