I tried searching but did not see this topic. I'm considering a Rogers Samsung Captivate and want to use it on FIDO. I was lucky to buy a Samsung Focus and pop in my Fido SIM card and the phone worked perfect (no unlocking needed). Does anyone know if I would have same such luck if I bought the Rogers Captivate ? Would like to hear from anyone else theat may have already done this and if there were any other issues ?
Thanks.
Rogers owns fido. You can get the captivate from rogers and pop your fido sim in it and it will work without being unlocked.
Thanks Nick... that's what I thought too... But when I put an ad in Kijiji looking for a Rogers Focus, they seem to think the phone is locked?? I'm offering a certain price thinking I would have to pay for unlocking. Now I can make my best deal without having to think of the extra costs.
Any other issues encountered using this phone with FIDO ? I know I'll have to input the FIDO APN but that's simple. Is that about all I should run into ?
Just the bloatware will be different. But the custom roms on here will take care of that for you
I'm scratching my head... I wonder why the people selling their phones thought they were locked. They could have made a quick sale.
As for the custom ROM's I probably won't have much use for them unless it increases speed dramatically, make WIFI Hotspot Router better, or increases speaker volume (if needed). For the bloatware, does Rogers really put that much on there? My Focus seems to be pretty empty of any carrier junk. Do you recommend upgrading to 2.2 first then change ROM's or can I change ROM's right from 2.1 ?
Thanks in advance for advice/suggestions.
The custom roms make a big difference all around.
No there isn't that much bloatware, but fido will have different stuff than rogers.
You probably won't miss anything there.
Update the phone to 2.2 through kies, then root it and change the rom.
Is there a particular ROM that seems to be the best? I know I'm getting a bit off topic but I do want to have an awesome phone.
Would still like to hear from anyone on FIDO that has the Rogers Samsung Captivate. Does it work out of the box with little to no issue? Does MMS work or did it need to be modified in anyway ? Anything else glitchy? Any feed back is appreciated. I want to feel extrememly comfortable that this phone will work with little issue.

I live in the USA, using AT&T, and is shopping around for Galaxy S phone. The Captivate is the obvious choice under the Galaxy S flag. I just noticed the Galaxy S Vibrant from Canada today and I am really interested in it, especially because of the front facing camera.
How would I go about purchasing it? How would I get it working under the AT&T carrier? How is Edge, 3G, and voice, etc? How would future rom updates be installed? What are the down sides to buying the Vibrant versus a local Captivate?
Thanks
I have a Bell GS and on Bell it works great. Though after a firmware upgrade yesterday is is acting a bit wonky, might have to do reset.
To use it on ATT in the US you would have to buy it outright from Bell or other brick and mortar store that carry Bell phones. ie. Best Buy/FutureShop.
There is an unlock app for GS's and supposedly works on the Bell I9000, haven't tried it myself, no need atm. This will allow you to use a ATT sim card in the phone.
To update, you can use Samsung kies, supposedly what they will be using to push updates to GS, you can get that from samsungs web site. From what I have found so far you need to be in the touch wiz launcher to use kies. only matters if you use 3rd party launchers.
Not sure how the FFC will work for you. That might be dependant on ATT?
Your best bet, if you decide to get one. ROOT and make it your *****!
It would be 100% compatible on AT&T's network. In fact, it's even more compatible because Bell doesn't have a 2G network you can switch to to save battery life.
ROM updates come officially through Kies like normal, although you should also be able to flash most international i9000 ROMs you see floating around here, just make sure before doing so. Flashing a Captivate ROM just because you're on AT&T is a surefire way to brick your phone.
To buy it you will likely need to use something like eBay because even if you purchase it outright almost every store won't let you leave unless you have existing service with Bell. You can unlock it for free though with the method that I am sure is detailed on the Android Development board somewhere.
The obvious downside to buying Bell's Galaxy S is it comes at full retail price (over $500 Canadian) and in all likelihood you're probably going to get a model with the three button download/recovery modes disabled, making flashing ROMs risky. Hold out until the end of this month to see if Samsung Canada announces more about their promised fix for this.
I am using one on AT&T as well and it works fine. Best part is that AT&T doesn't force you on their limited smartphone plans and you can put it on a cheaper unlimited plan.
I got mine in a trade for a BB Torch but you can find one on eBay or maybe talk to a Canadian member here to see about picking one up for you. I would suggest you have them check for the 3 button recovery to make sure it's working before they buy it though.
The downside is warranty issues if it breaks but as long as the 3 button recovery works you should be able to recover from a bad flash and the hardware seems pretty solid so far so no worries there.
Based on the responses, I am definitely going with the Bell/Canadian Vibrant. The only trouble I have now is just finding one to purchase.
How do I post my intentions here to let people that I want one? Who is a reliable dealer here?
Many Thanks

the bell ones got both 850 and 1900 bands?
Also does it have a bell logo on it or is it unbranded.
send me a PM if you want to buy a Bell SGS with 3 button working tested, and GPS tested before mailing it to your address of choice.

Epic 4G (used as 3G on Bell / Rogers)
Hello,
I am interested exactly the opposite: I want to buy an Epic from Sprint (with no contract) and to use it in Canada (on Bell or Rogers) but only with a data plan, no voice (as I will use the SIP / VOIP). If Bell or Rogers offers only data plan, should this phone (Epic) works out of the box (or with the unlocking code) on the 3G network of Bell / Rogers, simply inserting their SIM card into the phone?

the sprint version is CDMA, chances are it's CDMA locked to sprint
CDMA unlocking is done on the server side, is not on the phone like GSM
you need to register your CDMA IMEI number to the say... Bell or Telus, if they see it on their server it's allowed they will let you in, if they see it listed as not allowed then they wont register the phone into their (Telus/Bell) CDMA network

Thanks for your answer.
I am not a tech, but the 4G/3G is also depending on CDMA? Or CDMA concerns only voice? Is it 4G/3G a standard (the same on Sprint and Bell and Rogers) that doesn't depend neither on CDMA or GSM?
we don't have 4G support yet in Canada
CDMA is for voice, but if you can not register the phone in the network for voice, you will also not get access to data
to have data you must have a voice connection
not a phone requirement but a phone network carrier requirement
Thanks.
Anyway, I checked right now with Bell and Rogers and no one offers only data plan... But what they will do with iPad and Galaxy Tab that doesn't support voice, but only data? If I will take the SIM out the gTab and put in a phone (Epic or Vibrant or Captivate), will the phone be able to work on 3G?

Yes, but if Bell already sells the dataonly plan for iPad, why they don't sell a dataonly plan also for a smartphone?
because they can claim a Tab is "not a phone" (whatever...)
and a Galaxy is a "phone"

I currently have a I9000 and am on ATT's network in southern california. I'm all but satisfied since my coverage is poor indoors and in some areas because of the lack of 850 band support.
I'm looking to move instead to the I9000M from Bell to get the added 850 3g coverage. Were you able to get a phone, root, unlock it and upgrade to froyo 2.2? Can you tell me about your experience so far including testing for 3-button boot into recovery? Where and how much you got the phone for out-the-door? Thanks.
Sorry mate, still waiting on mine, can't believe its been a month. An xda member here indicated that the stores in Canada are out of stock for awhile now.
I noticed that there are a lot of random threads regarding the Samsung Captivate for Rogers (SGH-i896) and would like to make a common one that answers a few questions and asks a few.
I made a Wiki Page for the Rogers Captivate Model. You can add your FAQ and ROMs and what not there:
Samsung Rogers Captivate - SGH I896
I hope this becomes the main post for the Rogers Captivate where all questions would be answered so we won't have to look around. I will also add links and guides to rooting your Rogers version and hope that I get input from you guys as to which ROM is working and which is not.
Cheers.
Sure you can...change the model in the update-script from SGH-i897 to SGH-i896, done =]
I figured buying AT&T version, I'll have less hassle with flashing ROMs (using captivate with Fido). Bought one off craigslist and I'm very satisfied with it
I was thinking about that too but then if I buy the Rogers version then selling it within Canada becomes a lot easier too if you wanna upgrade. I know it would be a hassle to find custom ROMs but once we get used to editing ATT ROMs we should be good

Haha yes it does make it less of a hassle. But seeing how we can just enter Rogers/Fido APNs and have a full working 3G, I think it'll be alright. Selling my European magic is a lot harder because of no 3G..

Well people usually avoid it because you can't use your warranty in Canada and I do need that! This was the only reason deterring me from buying the ATT version else I would have had it a couple of months back instead of waiting it out at Rogers. Put up your magic on eBay

Anyways back to the topic lol
I am having so much fun already with this phone from AT&T (I am w/ Fido).
I think the user base from US is much greater than Canada, especially we are pretty slow in getting anything (don't get me started ), so buying AT&T one gives us first hand on every dev goodies in XDA
The biggest question:
Does the Rogers Captivate have HSUPA enabled?
would love to try the stock rogers rom.. i'd like to see a more "samsung" rom rather than the amazingly bad ATT bloatware..
the stock roms have much longer batt life for me than the other roms here.

Rogers have HSUPA on the network, weather or not they are disabled like AT&T, only those who has the actual phone can tell.

I currently have the AT&T Captivate but with the SGH-I896 Rogers official ROM on it and have been using this one for a month now. I love the device.
HSPA+ works 100%(check pics and you will see the H symbol instead of 3G)!! I love it but it does chew up alot more data. Doesn't matter for me as I have 6GB but for others that might be an issue. Barely any Rogers Bloatware at all.

Mind sharing the ROM so the developers can work it?
Hello,
after looking into the Nook Color then the Viewsonic Gtab, I have arrived at the Galaxy Tab. I have a rooted Fascinate, so I am savvy with flashing custom Rom's, using clockwork etc, Samsung Galaxy stuff...
My question is....
There are several Sprint GT on ebay.. there are a few wifi only model's for sale.
I don't need the data from sprint..I'll just tether to my phone..
I am definitely planning on rooting and installing a custom Rom/Kernel.. BUT
I have noticed there are more custom ROM's out for the carrier branded GT's versus the Wi-Fi only..
I have read through this forum a few times over, and have read once that you can buy a carrier GT and NOT activate. It will work fine, but will it work fine if I put a custom ROM on it with it not activated and use it for wifi only?
The real question:
Buy a carrier branded GT and NOT activate vs.. WIFI only GT ? Like I said, definitely planning on installing a custom ROM.
thanks in advance!
david
There is far more development for carrier tabs. And yes it woulda work fine with a custom rom.
Sent from my "better than an iPad" tab... Running Overcome GINGERBREAD!!!
I know spacemoose1 will be working on porting over his work shortly to the GT P1010 (wifi only) as soon as he has finished gsm and cdma. The port over should not be too long either so think looking at a short lead time (hopefully). But untill then we have to wait for either Spacemoose1 to work his magic or the gods of Sammy upgrading.
I know I prefer the wifi model as have I9000 and tether and its perfect for me, have it rooted and running few tweaks so its real quick and compares very well with some of the latest out there but if you really need to install custom roms right now then this device is not for you, but if you wait a bit more then hopefully we will have something to play with.
Regards

Personally I like the option to either go through wifi or use 3G... Depends on how you want to use it, what country you're from, gsm vs. cdma, and if you want to spend a few $$ more on the carrier tab...
I tend to find the p1010 tabs are cheaper, but then so is the hardware....
ATM if you go to ebay australia, sprint tabs are being sold fairly cheaply (vs the gsm tabs we use here) and as wifi only, which they are in Oz as we no longer use any cdma networks... Saw one go for $170AUD...
Cheers...
Thanks everyone for the input!
Sounds like it's acceptable to purchase a carrier tab and not activate, custom Rom's will work even if it's not activated, and that there is not a lot of development for the wifi only version..
Here's my next set of questions:
Should I be concerned about using an aftermarket charger? See this :
http://cgi.ebay.com/SAMSUNG-GALAXY-TAB-SPRINT-WIFI-SPH-P100-16GB-MINT-/270745593659?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item3f09b1e73b
Good price, but doesn't include the stock cables, box etc.. should I be looking for the stock cables? I know the Samsung Fascinate is picky about what usb cable you use for it, and would assume that would apply to the GT as well.. if I should could I buy this one and get the stock cables somewhere else?
Is there one carrier that has more development done for it, or is Sprint a safe way to go for development (being able to use a custom rom/kernel etc?)
thanks again..

PS: This eBay tab above is sold as used?
As for a tab with SIM or not, I think it's a matter of personal preference. Mine is the European unlocked model GT-P1000 but I never use the SIM/provider thing since I hook it to Google Voice which does it over wireless.
I flashed it to the latest OverCome RC1 and I am sure you can do the same with others.
I've heard nothing but moderate reviews on the wifi model. I decided to go with a Verizon tab. The price was attractive at $199.99. The downside of course is that it locked me in to a two year contract with Verizon.
I decided to get the 1gb a month plan for $20. After taxes it is about $23. I like having the ability to hop on 3g when needed, but I primarily use the tab in places that have WiFi. In addition, as others have posted, I have been able to use the tab on my Captivate's unlimited data plan via WiFi tethering. With this, even in places with no WiFi, I can use my phone's connection and not burn through the Verizon plan's allowance.
The only drawback I can really cite is that there is far more in the way of custom roms available to for the GSM tabs. Verizon is CDMA (as in Sprint.) But, as others have also mentioned, there are a few custom roms already available for CDMA, and there are a few new ones coming in the next few weeks that look very promising.
I can't really speak to the European, or other models outside of the US.
Ultimately, I really love my tab and have been very very happy with its capabilities. Having tinkered with both iPad1 and 2, I have to say that I heartily endorse the Galaxy Tablet over both.
Anyway, that is my $.02
Hey guys,
If this has been answered previously, then please forgive me, but I wasn't finding anything definitive in the related threads. I've got an unlocked Developer Edition that I plan on using on T-Mobile. I really wanted the extra space and I *believe* San Diego is refarmed and so should work reasonably well (although if I get Edge speeds I'm gonna be bummed).
Anywho, has anyone figured out whether there is:
1) any way to get WiFi calling working? Not positive I'll need but wondering if I need to flash a T-Mobile modem or rom to get that to work on the DE version
2) if tethering will work if my plan supports it (it does - I've done it on my T-Mobile Galaxy Note II)
3) does flashing one's modem cause the phone to show as "tampered" or "modified"? My preference would be NOT to add the bloat unless I'm going to lose out on the aforementioned features OR if the signal ends up being dramatically affected.
Lastly, has anyone else had any experience with the Developer Edition on T-Mobile in San Diego? Wondering what to expect.
Thanks in advance for any and all help!
K-
I have the Dev One on T-Mo in Az and it's awesome. I've seen up to 24mbps on LTE and as little as 12mbps on LTE here.
I'll try tethering but I don't see why it would be an issue. My rooted Sensation tethered just fine and with a non-carrier phone we should still be more than able to do so.
Not sure about WiFi calling as I never used it. With unlimited minutes and decent reception at home it never crossed my mind to try it.
WiFi calling does work you just need to flash a ROM that has it. It has been implemented in International ROMs so you don't have to stick to just T-Mobile firmware.
Thanks for the answers, guys. Guess I stupidly figured the Developer Edition WAS the International version rom already - no? Guessing not by your phrasing.
Guess my problem when it arrives on Thursday (fingers crossed) will be that I'm not certain whether I can completely revert back to stock after flashing should I need to return it. Will do a little more research. Have flashed the hell out of my Note II but I thought I'd read that all methods on the One end up with "Tampered" being displayed, which I'm sure would cause HTC to NOT take it back, even within the 30 days.
Then it's just a question of how good or bad the data speeds end up being in San Diego.
Thanks again for the help.

I have read and searched google for a while now and cant find anything recent concerning the ATT Captivate on the Tmobile network.
Some Youtube vids but they are all ancient.
The latest tread i found was dated around mid June 2013 involving Straight Talk and it did not seem to have a final resolution as to weather it's possible or not to use att's cap on Tmobile network.
Phone in question belongs to my daughter in-law and wants to have phone active for basic call use, not interested in getting new updated phone (S3 or S4) just concerned with basic calling and texting.
I have put phone thru its paces and it works fine as a 4" tablet on wifi , its running GB 2.3.5 , baseband I897UCKJ3 , kernel 2.6.35.7-I897UCKJ3 -CL614489 , build GB.UCKJ3.
I would appreciate any input on this from anyone that may still have a Captivate running on any pay as you go plan.
TIA.

The most basic answer is yes you can run the cappy on T-Mobile. That being said the phone will have to be unlocked in order to work on another carrier. You can either contact AT&T and ask them to give you the unlock code, find a site online that will sell you the unlock code, or find one of the many threads on here about how to do it yourself. If you do it yourself it will most likely require your phone to be rooted first. I even believe it's as simple as downloading an app from the play store and running it to unlock.
Now with all that being said if the person plans on using data at all you could run into a small problem. T-Mobile uses a different frequency for 3G/4G data than AT&T so you may only be able to connect to EDGE which is very slow compared to what you may be used to.
Thanks ml, its rooted already and looking into unlocking. Afterwards is it just a matter of slipping a tmob card into SIM slot?

Yes after its unlocked you should be able to pop the sim in and go. The only thing you might have to do is figure apn settings to make data services work. But that's not nessecary for calls and basic texting to work.

I used my Cappy last year with a Roam Mobilility, a company that sells
US airtime here in Canada for travelers. It runs on the T-mobile network. T-mobile is slowly changing their data network so you can get the H symbol when connected in larger centers. If you aren't in those areas you only get edge data speeds. Vegas, and Phoenix both had the new towers set up and I got great speeds there. The phone does work well for calls also.
