samsung captivate

Netflix just updated and it is having problems on my captivate. Anyone else having these problems?

I've had my captivate for 2 months now and I love it. I'm using it on Straight Talk's BYOP program. I have no need for AT&T and Samsung's Bloatware and would like to remove them. I understand to do this, I need to root my phone. I'm a very cautious individual, and after browsing...

I want the original, vanilla, un-modified Gingerbread ROM for my Samsung Captivate. I just don't like all the ATTware (I rooted, so I managed to get most of the stock apps down) but I'm still stuck with some things I want to change, like the lock screen (I have an unlocked LG GT540 before I got...

I have had my phone for a year and a half with no issues regarding battery drain. 2 weekends ago, I let my phone die completely over the weekend, then I recharged it once I got home. Ever since then, my battery has been only lasting approximately 6 hours and that's with miminal usage, a few text...

Ok here is the deal. I just got this phone (SGH-I897) and it is locked to at&t, I need to root it to unlock it. I have rooted phones before but am having a hell of a time trying to figure this out. I tried superoneclick first but can't connect the phone to my pc. I feel I have installed these...

Hopefully this si the correct forum. If not please let me know where to go. Let me preface this with : I am not super tech savvy anymore. I used to be, but given decent directions I am ok. Also I cannot switch carriers ( I live on top of a mountain and the only towers are ATT lest I drive...

Hey Everyone, I have an unrooted Captivate i896 w/ LauncherPro and just upgraded from 2.2 to GB. So far I love GB, but I somehow seem to lost the ability to turn Data ON. Even without wifi, and no matter how I try to switch it on (settings>wireless&network>mobile networks OR holding...

Hi I just got the Samsung Captivate and I would like to save my media files on an external MicroSD card. The only problem is the phone does not recognize it at all. I have used the same card in an another phone and it works fine. At start up, it says removed external SD card. I am not sure if...

The refresh icon (i assume, the circle with arrows going in a circle) has begun showing on my tool bar on the top of the phone most all of the time. It does go away when I shut the phone off,but returns shortly. The phone also has started buzzing like the notification sound all the time, seems...

I just saw that Cyanogenmod has come out with a CM9 stable mod. I'm rooted and running CM7 right now but would like to run CM9. I am a little afraid to do this because I bought an Epic 4G and tried to root it and completely bricked it. Where is a good place to go for a walk through on how to...

Hello everyone, I'm going to upgrade to an S3 soon and was planning on selling my old Captivate. It is rooted and has ICS (CM9) on it. I was wondering if a factory reset would be enough to erase all of my data on it while keeping the root and the firmware. Also, with Titanium Backup on my...

Is there a way to change or remove the startup sound with out rooting my captivate?

On eBay, I picked up this Captivate which was running one of the RC's for CM7. The seller indicated in the description that the camera app crashed whenever you attempted to start it. I took the chance figuring it was just a software issue. So, I got the phone, flashed it back to Eclair using...

I originally posted this in the Captivate Glide forum (ya know, the correct one) but I noticed this forum seems to have a lot more activity. I figured the phones are probably very similar, so you guys might be able to help too. I got my Captivate Glide a few months ago, and the soft keys on...

He went to get it replaced and so I set it back to stock, figuring I could easily revert it. I used the heimdall one click thing after rooting to get a CWM on it that was usable. After boot though, it constantly resets every single time the media scanner thing at the top starts running...

I use Vlingo as the app to connect my Captivate to my bluetooth device. The bluetooth device is basic and does not store numbers. I want to be able to dial numbers via voice command but it only seems to work on very few numbers stored in my phone contacts and absolutely will not dial a number...

So all I have seen are 2 and 3 year old posts about which program to use to root. There have been some recent ones that have a root and kernel replace, but I just want to get my feet wet with the root first. The problem is, I've seen that a lot of the older root programs do not work with...

So I have a Samsung Captivate (Galaxy S) that when I hook it up to my PC, my PC doesn't recognize it, although the phone beeps and goes to the USB connection screen. I tried downloading the USB driver from Samsung, but still no luck. Additionally, I recently broke my screen - won't light up...
