I contributed the following to FAQ - CapFAQ a long time ago, and since that page has received over 4,000 views I thought it might be worthwhile to post it here. Although originally intended for Captivate users, it's applicable to the Skyrocket, too. FYI, default ring time: 20 seconds. This...

Tired of your screen dimming at the 10% remaining battery level? Try this: AdjBrightness - Android Application on the Android market It overrides the dimming and is customizable, but you must be rooted.

Yes, I've posted this in Tips and Tricks, too. There have been so many questions about this issue that I felt it deserved wider distribution (at least until it's deleted for being in the wrong section :)). If a moderator wishes to delete this, no problem. I understand. From Gizmodo...

From Gizmodo: You've just read or heard that your phone is due for an update—maybe just bug fixes, or possibly a big version upgrade. But your phone claims there's nothing doing. Dial this keypad combination to force a "checkin" and possible upgrade. If there's no update...

If I weren't so pleased with Assonance I'd have tried another ROM by now, like Darky Port 7.01 or Ginger Clone 2.2 Final, or whatever. That said, if there was a post that was undeniably convincing I'd take the leap. Something on the order of "I've tried them all and, without a doubt and...

With Opera Mini my login User Name and Password "sticks" for future use. Fine. With the native browser, they don't. My settings have "remember passwords" checked to save user names and passwords for Web sites, but the browser has STML (short term memory loss). This has been the case with...

Once upon a time... I had a Captivate with Eclair. I liked it. Then I flashed Assonance 5. I love it. ...and I'm living happily ever after. The End

From a poster at XDA: ===== I work at an AT&T device support center and we deal with nothing but warranty issues with all AT&T phones. I have noticed a trend with the captivates and I wanted to pass some info along to all of you. 80% of the captivates we get into our Device support center...

I've been very careful not to point a finger at a particular app as a cause of random shutdowns (other than aggressive user settings within SetCPU). Before I continue, let me say that I believe there is more than one culprit responsible for shutdowns and that most are caused by non-app...

Captivate Keep Alive A new, free app in the Market that claims the following: "Prevents the Samsung Captivate from randomly turning off when fully charged. This app prevents the CPU from sleeping while the battery is above a threshold you set - which stops the random shutdowns." I...

I purchased what you'll see in the links below and waited until I had an opportunity to use it on the road before posting. My goal was to have a portable backup battery / charger when an outlet (wall or car) wasn't handy. After much homework, I took the plunge and spent the bucks. Not only...

From time to time my dialer will freeze when I press the Call log or attempt to pull up Contacts. Anyone else experience this? Cause? Solution? Thanks.

Does one exist? It's a pain pressing Settings, Applications, Development, USB debugging. I use it often enough to think that a widget would be handy.

If you're planning to return your Captivate for "X" reason(s), it's a positive step in your quest for what I hope will result in a device more suited to your needs. Nobody cares. Just go away. If "X" doesn't happen by "Y" date or you will return your phone, fine. It'll give you something to...

This has been asked before by other users, but no definitive answer found: Is there anything available to increase/decrease the in-call volume other than by using the up/down keys? A simple, on screen widget with this function being its only reason for existing. A slider that would wake up...

I have Settings/Sound and display/System volume turned all the way down. Until now, startup sound hasn't played. All that I've done today is to enable sideloading and installed Titanium. Yes, I know I can use Root Explorer to rename the PowerOn.wav file, but short of that...any thoughts as to...

...if you have any problem whatsoever with your Captivate, don't waste your time calling Samsung tech support. They'll first tell you how happy they are to help you, ask for your phone number, IMEI, etc., etc., and then have no idea what to do to provide assistance except the standard reply...

*RESOLVED* See later post in this thread. = = = = = I use MyBackup Pro and it can store its backups on an external SD card. I've searched but haven't been able to discover if Titanium has this same capability. If a phone needs to be replaced, what good is it to have the backup internally...

My initial instinct was to blame the device when it randomly turned itself off yesterday. Could it be a poorly designed (or beta) app that's responsible?
