Have been using Captivate for half year...
I would recommend it to people who like to customize while having to look like they are using iPhone...

Thanks, but no thanks. If I want Android 2.2, I'd get a HTC. If I want a working GPS, I'll never buy a Samsung. If I want an iPhone, I'll load the MIUI ROM, or just buy the danged iPhone.
'nuff said
/not flaming, am I?

Ehh, been screwed over by Samsung too many times... I don't use GPS too much, but I do like Froyo and updates on time.

You must be a company rep.
I can't imagine that a true XDA member openly recommend the Captivate. We have too many un-addressed issues.

He's not a Rep. Just a happy person who loves his phone theirs nothing wrong with that

Somehow, that is even worse... and iFanboi who loves a Samsung phone.

Didn't know someone will care about my post... =-D
Well, I'm really sorry if some of you guys think my opinion is false...
I will repeat that, "MY OPINION"!!!
I'm not saying anything about recommending to buy this phone,
So please don't kill me, since this is why I post this thing on "off-topic" section.
: In my opinion!
-Once you get good phone by going through exchange process, I think this phone is really handy...
it have good screen quality and fast enough to play any fun games on/off the market...
[[[ I wonder why same Samsung models have different functions? In Korea, where it's mainly creates phone or share the ideas, don't have any problem with the phone... But of course, it's expensive in Korea... There is no 1or2-year contract, which means they are selling it for original price! And that original price is double the amount of US original price. ]]]
+I'm happy that I can buy same model phone in US

Ill admit that I love my captivate. Samsung makes very high quality phones. However, their software isn't worth sh!+. That's why I'm at XDA. If it wasn't for my crappy software, I'd never be a member. Considering I joined when I had an HTC phone that goes for them as well. My captivate just needs cyanogenmod. I've missed that since I destroyed my HTC phone.

Lol, my friend Jake has an Iphone, He thinks its the greatest device ever made. I however shut him down with my epically modded Hero200.
Went into a local motorfactors to pick up some bits for my Activa, spotted the guy over the desk had a HD2, we got chatting, he was using android but not a very stable ROM, gave him the details of XDA and the ROM I'm using and we exchanged tidbits of info, was uber geeky
"epic manly nod of approval..." - that was a cool line.
Haha so true. Only thing that would need a change is that for some reason most people I see on the subway managed to smash their iPhone screen big times.
VERY true. Theres too many iPhones around lol.

Yeah I think that'd true too same thing happened to me and my teacher. I offered to help him root but he denied me saying his phone was fine. I then taunted him all year long about rooting and how great my phone was compared to his lol

Yeah, i thought it was pretty bunk that he made a "worlds first" out of it when I loaded the bootloaders onto my phone about a full day before he got involved.

You better be getting a slice of that $40 pie he is selling. Honestly, I think that is absolute garbage. This guy is taking advantage of many users offering what should be a donation service because of the work you and others have done.
This is a DEAD thread.

Now Mobiletechvideos provides a professional grade, top notch technical service. He runs a business and that's his source of income. We text each other for technical advice once in a while. Even if I wanted to, I could not possibly keep up with his workload and do my own job as a hospital electronics technician. We have a deal worked out where he will eventually buy Rebellos a replacement phone via PayPal donations. He's a guy running a business. I look at the business aspect as a downfall of his ability to support himself with technical expertise. All I'm saying is technically its not a worlds first as Android isn't booted and I was running the bootloaders first.

Apple not only makes people stupid, but also broke. This guy just bought a brand new iPhone and now he's selling it? Why? because he jumped the gun and made himself poor lol, and then these stupid iPhone users have the nerve to call us android users "poor" people who cant afford iPhone's... really?

I don't think you understand it. He bought it with the intention to resell it. Pay 500, sell for 1300. He might be poor but he knows how to make money.
To the oP. Great read. I always try to play around with the scammers when I sell **** on cl but they usually just stop replying to me.
So I can write whatever I want here?

I love the 90s. Good times.
What's that saying about honey, vinegar and bees
not sure why we should care about this.
if you wanted svdo then why buy an s4? the specs were released at least a month in advance.
man.. i really wish i had a custom SGS4 with my avatar on it....
i figure if samsung is watching then i might as well ask
I thought manufactures aren't supposed to post/monitor these sites. Although I'm sure they very well due, I swear I heard that a long time ago. Either way, too funny

I think its great they would reach out to someone like that. Of course its something they have no control over... when its a real bug we never hear anything.

I'm sure they monitor them, but it's not smart for them to post on them as they get ripped by someone no matter what they say. Kind of like the example in the OP above. I'm betting that support person will not be reaching out to anyone again anytime soon!
Its a shame really, they used to have developer relations and tried to reach out to the community with samsungjohn. however its just too much for one person and needs a whole team, we had kernel sources, responses from samsung and just a better connection with them.
its when samsung really took off in the rooting community.
I really miss this feature from the sgs3. It's too bad they cheaped out on us

If Sprint's LTE was anywhere as robust as their 3G (which in itself is not saying much) then this would not be much of an issue, but it's not.
Sometimes you wonder why they make such bone-headed decisions. Why couldn't they just leave the SVDO support in there. I doubt they can point to some incompatibility issue with anything like CPU or SoC or physical design etc..
OP is funny?
SVDO exclusion is almost certainly a Sprint decision, as no other phone besides the s3 and ltevo had it, or will have it.
And referencing T-mobile LTE? really? Missed that announcement where their LTE network is magically complete

More marketing?

Is google about to mass market this nexus 6? I have seen tons of android and google now commercials the last few months. And have seen them a lot. And all over the world series. Who else thinks this phone will be mass marketed on a Samsung level?
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app
Notice that you have seen advertising for ANDROID and GOOGLE NOW. Google is pushing their software and respective services b/c that's where they make their money. Whereas Samsung, LG, HTC and others are pushing their hardware while trying to emphasize their own software implementations. Don't get me wrong nothing would get me more hype than a giant Nexus 6 billboard but, as we've seen with past Nexi, that's not going go happen...
I see your point. I just feel with it going to all carriers and the flagship price they could really advertise. Time will tell though.

You'd think they would push it since it is being distributed to all carriers. I agree that they should push it and really get the Nexus name out there. I'm tired of being asked if my phone is a “Droid" or a “Galaxy." Let's be honest though, if Google did start advertising; they have A LOT of catching up to do!

Yep. I know the feeling. People look at me funny when I say it i have a nexus. With pride. Lol. But if anyone can catch up. It would be the billion dollar advertisement company. I sure hope they go for it. Sad when I walked into t mobile and all they want to do is sell you a Samsung. No matter how set you are on a device made for your needs. $$$$

I say they are marketing it, far more than they have ever done so before. They really REALLY seem to have something here with their current campaign and want to get it out there as much as possible (which is awesome, because I find this new campaign to be really cool and good spirited).
Even a few of the new android commercials have shown off the Nexus 6 whether it be a glimpse or the subject manner. It seems this time around with 5.0 Lollipop Google is going FULL FORCE on getting positive android appeal in the open market. Unlike before we are approaching something new and potentially great here for the community.
