Love my SGSII but was given the option to replace it with an HTC One X. I'm not sure if I should go for it as the dev community and the phone itself are amazing. But the S4, 720p, LTE, NFC and all the other goodies are really tempting on the One X. Only issue is if I get the phone with the...

Anyone know what version is shipping with AT&T refurbs? If it's 2.20 I'm really going to consider not going for a refurb replacement as I can't not have root on my phone...!

After debating which phone to go for, I decided on the SGSII. I went to the ATT store yesterday to check out the Vivid and Skyrocket. The Vivid looks really nice but it feels way too clunky. Big and heavy as I'm already used to Samsung's lightweight and thin phones from my Captivate. That...

Just noticed that I have a scratch (?) across half my screen. Problem is, it doesn't look like a surface scratch. It looks like a smudge that just won't come out. Has anyone this before? Tried to see if it was a deep smudge (used a pretty good micro-fiber cloth) and it's not. It's barely...

I'm really considering calling AT&T again and requesting a change in phones. After my fourth Captivate, my GPS still can't hold a lock, phone shuts off every now and again and Froyo is nowhere to be found. The Inspire seems much better out of the box than the Captivate will ever be. The only...

How big does everyones backups run? Just ran my latest backup and it's closing in on 600mb. 318mb of data... ;)

Is there a way to get rid of all those messages in my contacts history tab? I have messages that I deleted weeks ago there and syncing doesn't remove them...

Just saw over at ATT that they have refurb Captivates for free with a 2 year sub. If it's worth it, I'm not sure. But there is a chance a lot of the units exchanged or returned coupld be working fine. Some might not. But if someone wants to take a chance, $0 is a nice price. Keep in mind...

On my old Captivate, I don't recall my Display eating up so much battery. My phone has been off the charger for 16 hours. After 2 hours of Display time, it is 52% of the battery usage. I have brightness on lowest all the time, no haptic feedback. Mostly black background. Is it just me or t...

So, I just went to the AT&T store to return the phone. Tomorrow is my last day and since I got my replacement on Thursday, GPS hasn't worked once. Right before I step in the store I tried one last time... It found me within 2 seconds and 10 meter accuracy. I shut off my phone, drove home...

Just exchanged my Captivate again (3rd one in 2 days) after my perfectly working Captivate (GPS too...) was bricked by the update. The first two wouldn't even find a satellite. Now, this one finds 10-12 satellites but won't lock onto a single satellite. I tried both the spirent-lcs.com and...

So before the update yesterday, I loved my Captivate. GPS worked great as did the rest of the phone. I figured since getting the update message, I would go for it. During the update the service was pretty bad in the office so I cancelled the download to continue it when I got home. When I went...

If your download fully cancels in the middle, do not resume the download. When you try to resume - the phone will think you want to resume installation [it thinks the download is complete] and will update the phone with the partial firmware download. For those phones that were bricked, that...

The more I use the phone, forget about thinking of changing it for another phone, I don't even want to exchange it for another Captivate. But does anyone just get really annoyed by the little things that happen out of nowhere? Screen not shutting off unless you reboot (happened today) Alarm...

Does anyone have the issue of games or other apps .mp3's getting brought into the music player? Any way to get around this or just either use a different music player or create a playlist?

As many of you probably know, you can toggle 2g/3g in service mode by dialing *#*#197328640#*#* and going into debug/phone/ue state. Now, much like lbs for the gps menu which you can set a shortcut/activities on your home screen, I tried to set one for service mode but it keeps force closing...

Usually, my battery only drops 1-2% overnight. Last night, for some reason the battery dropped 27% (over 7-8 hours of standby). The largest battery usage was Cell Standby and Idle. I checked Juice Plotter and there was definately something running as the temps were a bit higher but nothing...

Is there a way to combine contact history in the call log? For instance on my old pearl it only showed my contact once in the log and if I clicked the contact it gave me the history.

Probably belongs in the AT&T section but that's basically what this is ;) When I got my Captivate, I renewed my line on the family plan for 2 years. Question is, can I switch the renewed contract to another line on my family plan or the only way is to return the phone, cancel the renewal and...

Trying to find the folder where third party apps are installed to but can't seem to find it? Anyone know where it is (was checking under Sys/apps).

I just set up google voice but when I receive a voicemail I get an sms notification even though I disabled notifications. Is there an option I missed to disable sms notification?

What results should I be seeing when using Speedtest over 3G? Over WiFi, I'm getting 9Mbps down and .55Mbps up which is fine. But over 3G, I'm getting .22Mbps down and .12Mbps up. A bit low isn't it....?

I'm still on the stock FW that came with the phone. If I update to JH3, will it automatically format and reinstall (is it a full rom) or is it just an update? If it does format, is there a good app to backup my apps and such (would Titanium help or does that do a full restore including the...

So I am starting to have second thoughts on keeping the Captivate vs. swapping for an iPhone. Now, I actually love this phone. But my gripe is more with Google's stance and the lack of... games (yes, games) coming out. Yes I know this isn't a PSP, but... I check out the iPhone library, they...

I tracked my ride home from work yesterday and lunchtime walk on GPS. Here is what I noticed on my phone at least. If I load GPS Test first - it locks on sattelites within seconds and tracked my ride and walk perfectly. If I just loaded Google Maps without GPS Test, it wouldn't even locate me...
