samsung captivate

Hi. I have Samsung Captivate and I'm sick of having to pull out the battery every other day because the phone decides to freeze up for some reason. I rooted it, but I haven't done a lot of modifications..just cosmetic ones like launcherpro. Is there a rom that's very reliable (i.e. no more...

Its been months (if not a year by now) and I'm completely & officially sick of trying to work with Kies Mini. I've never been able to upgrade to official 2.3.5 and I'm done trying. Is there ANY way to bypass the official gingerbread update and move my Captivate to a jellybean ROM (I don't...

Dear Experts, I really need anyone of you to help me. I have Samsung Captivate I-897. It was updated from Eclair to GB. Then I used KK4 and UCKF1 to upgrade to GB 2.3.5. However, due to GPS problem (original problem of I897) was not fixed and I found the GPS_mod(8NTP) to fix the problem by...

I have not changed anything with the phone but it started acting up today. When I connect the charger, immediately or within 5 seconds the screen goes black and it becomes unresponsive. This is not the screen timeout and I assume that it is turning off. The moment I unplug it from...

I bricked my captivate and restored using odin. The first thing I did was root it while at 2.1update using super one click then unlocked it for T-mobile. This worked, but now I realized that I can't get rom manager without allowed third party apps. So, I tried updating using kies, and it said...

Hey guys. I just bought a soft bricked captivate from a friend of mine. It is able to go into download mode but thats it so far. Can I use odin to flash a stock rom onto the device to boot it? Or flash a recovery? Btw im not new to the forums :p

Quick question re my soft-bricked phone. Only had the phone (ATT- Cap) for about 6 months so there's only phone numbers to maintain (no docs or history I'm worried with). Should I flash a stock GB when my jig comes in, then flash up to custom? Or can I flash right to a custom rom? Wasn't sure if...

This is very painful, considering that I only have 200 MB of data per month with AT&T. And I have a presentation tomorrow on Evernote in which I'm supposed to use my phone for a demo. If anyone can lead me in the right direction for diagnosing this major problem, it would mean the world to...

Has any tried and would recommend a custom ROM to upgrade the captivate to 4.1. If so how well does the ROM work, was there any issues, is everything like the gps, camera, etc working fine?

I'm trying to unlock my Captivate so I can sell it, I don't have a non at&t sim to test out the methods I've seen so far. What I could used is a rooted rom that's already unlocked. Thanks in advance.

I recently tried to download Gingerbread software to my Samsung Cpativate using the Odin program. The phone froze up while trying this and would not respond to anything! So I powered it down!

I am having major problems with my Captivate. I have searched the forum until I can't stand it any longer. Everything I find is only part of my problem with no clear solutions. I have found one other post in regards to my main problem but nobody else has commented on it. Once my phone goes...

So a few months ago my Captivate took a turn for the worst and got stuck in boot loops. I was able to flash with some non stock stuff but my conclusion was the internal memory was messed up. So I replaced the motherboard (only $30 so worth a shot). All seems to have gone well except now my...
