    Goodish News?

    Samsung Android 4.0 ICS update for Galaxy S and Tab now under review - SlashGear So, going from the definite statement made a week or two ago about not updating the Galaxy S to ICS officially, to considering it so that's always good news. Of course, those using custom ROM's shouldn't care much...

    Wi-Fi Direct

    So yeah, Wi-Fi Direct is this amazing feature and all that, pretty much an enhanced way to connect two devices wirelessly, more than that of Bluetooth. But as of now, is there any use for this at all? I mean, I can't really find a list of all Wi-Fi direct compatible devices, and it seems...

    HSDPA+ Speeds

    About how fast are we really looking at for our phones as of now? AT&T claims up to 21 mbps, but each speed test has its own results, and just looking for what I'm supposed to be realistically seeing. Also want to check to see how much different it might be from LTE, but yeah, probably not going...

    Root You want root?

    So, if we want a way to root this device, the people at XDA are helpful and magical enough to do it as long as we get a thread there, first...Forrrrtunatelly, we can vote it in via: [Requests] Ask for new forums here - xda-developers And getting votes=getting a root for TPT :)

    T-Mobile and Captivate

    The guy claims that there wouldn't be a 3G signal if I bring my Captivate to T-Mobile, but is that really true? Or at least, is there a way to fix it?

    I scream for...

    So. Google did mention that when Ice Cream Sandwich comes out, they're going to make sure that everyone gets the update, at somewhat the same time and make sure that all phones are basically up to date with one version of the software, rather than the fragmented version right now with tablets...

    Good Stuff

    Lenovo - Tablets - ThinkPad Tablet (US) I think this is one of the only tablets out there with a legitimate good pen support and Android, but I'd like to hear if anyone else has any other good tablets they saw. Don't have much use for tablets other than the pen for notetaking and this looks...

    Help Ad Hoc

    Any way to connect to ad hoc servers via Captivate, like wireless servers created by a computer.

    Valid Reason?

    Well, I've had this phone since September, and now, the port where you plug in the microUSB is starting to get really loose and wobbly. Is that sufficient enough to get a new phone, since it's going to be annoying if I'm going to be stuck with this for a year+...Maybe is there some kind of Mac...

    Next Version

    Just an interesting update on Samsung's plans. Samsung's going to be announcing their new lineup sometime soon, and I guess this only confirms that it's real and gives a date for the release. I wonder if they'll offer some kind of discounted upgrade to the next phone like Apple does (but...

    More conspiracy theories

    Is Samsung purposefully holding off on a Froyo update? Basically an article, mostly focusing on the Vibrant, about how Samsung might be holding back an update on the Galaxy S phones, maybe to get more people to buy their newer lineup of phones. Overall, I am pretty glad that people are paying...

    More reasons Samsung doesn't care about us

    DailyTech - Samsung Galaxy Player Confirmed, Ready for CES I guess they're really putting a lot into their new Samsung Nexus S phone, and now this. I'm sure a day or a week of hard work into their old Galaxy S lineup in the US can get us Froyo considering the international phones already have a...

    Help Captivate not turning on?

    Basically, something happened, my phone's battery died, and as usual, I just switched in a new battery, turned it on, it went to the splash screen, the glowing S.....and then turned off. I tried to charge the phone, that didn't work. I thought the battery might just be dead, so I charged it over...

    Help GPS Not Turning Off

    Sometimes, I use an application that uses GPS, it still continues to check for GPS after I quit it. I use ATK to kill it, lock it, unlock it, and it's still checking for GPS while it's locked. The only way I found to fix this is to restart the phone, and wanted to know if there was any way to...

    Help Icons be disappearing

    I'm using Launcher pro, and at random times, I go to the home screen to see all the icons missing. The dock's still there, but yeah. Only way to fix this would be to restart Launcher Pro, after which I'll have to wait around 30 seconds to even a minute at time for everything to come back. Is...

    How does GPS lock work?

    Well, my GPS was working alright, but I just need to know what I need for a lock. Recently, I checked, and it wasn't locking on, so I turned on the GPS Test application. I was connected to 9-10 satellites, each with the number 30 next to it, yet I wasn't locking in for some reason. I just don't...

    Help Folders Not Opening

    Sometimes, some folders just will not open. I click the Games folder and it just stops opening after a while. I have to restart to fix the problem, but yes, I am able to click it, it highlights, and that's pretty much it. Any idea what the problem might be?

    Exchanging

    My battery is still really, really bad. I did manage to last an entire day with 30 percent left by not using it at all, but other than that, that's pretty useless. If I wanted to exchange the battery, would I be able to do that rather than turning over the entire phone and getting back a new...

    Help Brightness

    I set the phone to not set brightness automatically and I put the brightness to the minimum. Every time I bring down the notification bar, the brightness automatically raises nonetheless and it's starting to really p.m.o.

    Vibrant/Captivate/Epic/Fascinate

    Aren't all the phones around the same in terms of features, with a slight variation depending on the carrier. It would be pretty smart to create one global forum for all these phones, so that most people don't have to check up on each one, since yeah, like for Vibrant, the only different is that...

    Problem with APK's

    What does "There is a problem parsing the package" mean? It shows up when I try and download apk's from my sd card, but only with a select few. Does it just mean that there was a problem with the APK file?

    Flash Games

    How do you play Flash games on this phone? For example, Game Bubble Struggle 2: Rebubbled - Games | Rebubbled loads up and I see the startup screen and all, but I can't click/see any way that I can use arrow keys to operate the game. Is it just not possible, or is there another way/will it be...
