Some advice please - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey so I have had this captivate for a while now and I love it, especially because I know how to put roms on and everything. I want to upgrade guys what phone would you upgrade to? The galaxy s2 is the obvious answer but what else? Thanks

The next Nexus would be my second choice SGSii being the first of course, other then that maybe the Sensation or Evo 3D if I played with and liked one of them?.

[Q] Desire or Captivate?

I have been using the HTC Desire for about 2 months but I am just fascinated with the 4" captivate. I am really thinking of ditching my Desire for the Captivate - going from Froyo to Eclair. Anyone know why I shouldn't? Thanks
You should ditch the desire. Captivate is much nicer. I am willing to take the desire off your hands. How much you want for it.

Prior to getting the Captivate, I had to choose between the Desire and the Captivate too.
Unfortunate as it is, the one major advantage the Desire had was simply because it was an HTC phone. On XDA, being an HTC phone means better support. If XDA support is a dealbreaker for you, then keep the desire. Otherwise, the Captivate is pretty much superior in every way.

I'm not sure why people are hesitant of flashing and trying new roms. Within an hour you can obtain a new rom, backup the current one, flash and test the new one. If you don't like it revert to the backup and it will be as if nothing ever happened.
Incredible S : CM7.1 Nightly
LOL It's like crack once u start u can't stop especially when there is so much roms coming out, my wife always says "oh Steve please don't tell me your modding another device why can't u just let it be LOL " I have got a acer iconia a500, HTC incredible s, a ****ty Optus my tab v9 and a Samsung galaxy s all have been modded and customized to my liking I love androids they kick iphones ass in my opinion n androids are more user friendly, you can customize everything n so forth.
I have got an iPhone 4 also but quickly put it up for sale cause they are crappy and nothing ever changed really from recent releases.
Androids are leading the way in my opinion ..

What are people getting for battery life in terms of screen on time?
To check just go to settings: about : battery use : hit display : and then it'll say time used. Also, tell what your battery percentage is at the time

Thinking of returning LG Thrill 4ag

I still have 15 days left to return, if LG Thrill doesn't get Gingerbread or Icecream soon, I'm gonna exchange and get the Galaxy S II Skyrocket.....
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda premium
Might as well return it then... GB for O3D wont be rolling out till next week so its probably not likely to be here for thrill for a while. I for one am going to have some patience, but I like the 3D, and can see its potential for more than just games and YouTube videos. So I'm hanging on to my thrill. Plus, I would be surprised if the thrill isn't one of the first phones to get an ICS port. B/c of the similarities to the nexus...

Lg said it will get ICS on their Facebook page. Plus CM8 should easily be available on this phone.

We'll see an ICS port before we see an official GB release for the Thrill...and thats not to say its going to take a long time for ICS. But porting does take some time and patience is a virtue.
But doesn't custom roms 'disables stuff on on phones? Maybe 3D function? (Noob here) I too am thinking of selling my thrill..(got offered $300) n getting a SG note. .what should I do?
Sent from my LG-P925 using XDA App
I really actually like the thrill but #1 its called the LG Thrill 4G and it doesn't even get 4G service (no matter where I go my download speed is never more than 3Mbps with H+ and full signal bars #2 it doesn't have the 3D Games Converter, #3 the Wifi capabilities are under par, #4 the battery life sucks, #5 recording videos in 3D the audio is not synced to the video whatsoever,
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda premium
I for one would keep it because of the features it has. But if you cant wait for the GB and ICS releases then do what you got to .
If you look at the past experience with other phones you will see the ICS port everyone is counting on is further away than you think. Just because it has a similar CPU (they are slightly different, so they may as well be entirely different) as the GN, doesn't mean anything. Look at the captivate. Its basically the same as the Nexus S, made by the same company using basically the same parts, same GPU, CPU, screen (curved vs flat, but both SAMOLED 800*480). There was never a port from the Nexus S. And that phone had two things the Thrill doesn't: a large user base and a large dev base. The captivate only got GB after i9000 GB was built and leaked. The SGS II won't get ICS until the i9100 does. The skyrocket won't get it until att delivers it, there is no international version to port. But Samsung has had the ICS source for months, LG probably got it this week, and now they need to start all over all the work that took them months and months for GB.
Just thought a reality check would help your decision.
On a side note, the skyrocket will only be marginally better than the Thrill in the dev dept. The skyrocket is so different than the other att GS II, or international that you won't get any ports from those devices. If you want to see the future of the skyrocket check the TMo GS II forum, they are basically the same, and any outside ports will come from there. Its a lot of crickets there too. The Skyrocket is the Thrill of the GS II line: niche device with one feature that makes it nice (LTE vs 3D) and many features that made devs pass it over (battery, unique CPU/GPU, and others) and it has a step brother that is also a device with small (yet bigger) user and dev bases (O3D vs TMo GS II).

optimus 2x much faster than nexus prime?!

i was at a store today and i was able to use the samsung galaxy nexus for quite a while.. i was thinking of getting it next month but i was quite disappointed after playin with it.. my optmus 2x is much faster on ics! the only thing i loved about it was its screen... it was like.. whoa!! the perfect screen.. but even its launcher was too laggy :/ scrolling from apps to widgets screen made the phone look sooo slow.. what is your opinion on it?? should i get one of these or better avoid them?

My opinion is: do not judge the phone by how it behaves on the stock rom
hmmm i guess you are both right.. but isnt it strange that it is so crap out of the box?? if someone isnt in the modding trick he will be crying for the (lots of) money he gave for it.. and its the latest google official phone which should be flying while all the rest phones are walking..

Coming from a Hero to an Evo (OG) and don't have the H1 until May 1st. I have been waiting on this phone from the first time I heard of it. I was mostly okay until last Friday when I had to stop by Best Buy and hold one. Since then I have been going nuts. I will be waiting when they open on the 1st. Not really obsessed. Precious. ......

On a serious note. I work on everyone's computers but I have an Athlon 64. I work on everyone's phones but I've never had a great phone when it was still new, as in not obsolete. I am very psyched about finally having something good while it's still good.

I'm not exactly new here since I've been a member since I got my HTC HD2 way back. I've just never contributed much to these forums. But I've always come here to find new roms and try cool things. I then moved up to a galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch. I ended up hating that phone so much. Sprints updates really messed it up. So I finally have my HTC One and its the best phone I've ever had. I used to do a lot of different custom Roms on the HD2 but not so much on my newer phones these days. I've only rooted my HTC One for now. I kind of like the Rom that came on it.
Not new to XDA but pretty new to the One forum. I'm coming from the S3, and the following: Motorola Photon, S2, HTC Evo Shift, HTC Evo 4g, HTC Hero, Samsung Instinct 2, Samsung Instinct. I'm sure a few more where in there along the way.
HTC One is hands down the best phone i've owned.
