I'm just about set on getting a Captivate, but I want to know what my options are in terms of alternative UIs. Do I need to flash the ROM? And when an OTA update is pushed, do I get put back on Touchwiz? And what's a good alternative UI?
View 1 Replies View RelatedAnyone think once the Captivate gets the 2.2 update it will be as fast as the N1? I thought the specs of Captivate were faster?
View 13 Replies View RelatedI downloaded the oclf, rooted and its all working nicely. Tested on quadrant and got this big sexy bar right at the top. Phone seems a little faster for sure. But if u use quadrant advanced u can see that CPU speed isn't really changing much if at all. Its i/o that is increasing and giving us these huge scores. Whatever that is. So are there further steps I can take to speed up my phone.
Is oclf actually overclocking my phone or just giving it another file system which speeds up processing slightly? I also use launcherpro which seems to help a bit for home screen navigating and such. But I am looking for a real noticeable boost. I know some of the ROMs out there are pretty fast as well but I am a little reluctant to remodel my phone much more with froyo supposedly on the horizon.
I would like to know which gpu is faster between the iphone and the captivate. I'm leaning towards the captivate and gonna try to get it tomorrow or Saturday, but i also want a phone that could game. the iphone has some pretty cool games and i haven't seen some really fun ones on the captivate. just would like to know which has a better to gpu to game. I'm not expecting some crazy graphics cus i know there just phones, but just wanna know.

View 1 Replies View RelatedFor some reason when I create folders (I use Launcher Pro) and fill them with app shortcuts, after a few days (or a week), I can no longer open the folder. If i drag a new app in it, it still doesn't work. If i delete the folder and create a new one and put the same apps in it... it works again.
View 3 Replies View RelatedSometimes, some folders just will not open. I click the Games folder and it just stops opening after a while. I have to restart to fix the problem, but yes, I am able to click it, it highlights, and that's pretty much it.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI took the plunge and returned my iPhone 4 today and got the SC. As a past Blackberry user as well I have basic functionality needs of a email app and this may be the deal breaker. I have my Exchange account setup and working however when I open or select an email there is no option to move the email to a folder. So am I blind or screwed! My brother has an HTC Incredible and his has an option to Move. Did Samsung hide it?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm a photographer so I have the need for several different folders in my gallery for various reasons. So far the only way I have found to move pics between folders is to go: my files>dcim>folder with pic I want to move>long press>select move>select new folder>select move here. One at a time. Are you kidding me? So my questions are:
1. Is there a quicker and easier way to move several pics to different folders?
2. Is there a way to select a folder before I start taking pics so that all the pics I'm about to take go into that folder?
3. Is there a better gallery out there that allows for all of this if the stock one doesn't?
It really seems like I should be able to quickly and easily do what I want from within the gallery. Like a simple drag and drop type of thing. I will be amazed if this isn't there, but I can't find it.
Nuance voice command sucks! Yes, I trained it. Yes I put it in expert mode. It STILL sucks! IS THERE AN ALTERNATIVE PROGRAM? I get so frustrated with it that I wind up yelling "Go 'f%#k yourself'" only to hear "Command not recognized."

View 3 Replies View Relatedi have a 3-week old Galaxy S and i'm loving it. but i noticed that it seems to be "slower" in some ways (compared to the iPhone 4) in the way it open & closes an app, the way it loads an app sometimes, the way it animates in going back to previous screens or menus and in general really. don't get me wrong it's quick but having a 1GHz processor i'm kinda left feeling and wanting.

Just look at all the comments of some pretty angry htc phone users lol
To be fair, I doubt that it would really take until Dec. 25th to get it done but its just ironic in my opinion with all the Samsung hate (by reason of software updates) as of late.
I do hope that Motorola, HTC, LG and Samsung all update their handsets very soon and timely though
I have read a couple of people on here say that the Slide is faster than the vibrant.That the slide's browser is actually faster? Is that true? I would of thought the vibrant would be faster? I'm having trouble deciding what phone to buy next.

Today, I had some spare time so I tried to download an attachment. It downloaded fine but when I went to view it, I received a pop-up box to save it to the sd card. After pressing ok, I was told the save was successful but now I can't find it. Aside from pics and videos, how do I access other folders with saved data?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI ended up buying a Behold 2 off of ebay (new) and I still sort of have a battery problem after reading and doing most of the tips on here. My phone charged overnight and has been unplugged on standby since 7am (now 2pm) and the battery is at 74%. Is this normal? WiFi/BT/GPS are all disabled, I always kill unnecessary tasks with taskiller but still, any other suggestions?
Also: it's some cool stuff you guys are doing with the galaxy ROM; I tried rooting it last night but got $ when I typed in su instead of #. Oh well, I can wait until the galaxy ROM is 100% working, afaik the vibration still isn't. With classes picking up again next week, vibrate would be my only setting.
Love the Vibrant, but the charging using the included charger is unbelievably slow. Does anyone know if an aftermarket charger would allow for faster charges?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am new to Android and rooting. I have a Galaxy S and love it! I didn't even know what rooting was. I just came across it after looking for ways to make my phone faster. After a while I realized my phone speed slowed down and was looking for the reason behind it. That's when I learned rooting is the answer. So I used the One Click method and everything is fine so far.
My Kernel is 2.6.29 root@SE-S602 #2 and Baseband is XXJF3 (2.1). So I went into my apps and saw the superuser permission app. But it doesn'thttp://android.bigresource.com/add/add.php work! It is just a blacked out screen. So I am not sure where to go from here. I have tried searching for an answer but couldn't find one, just guides how to root. How to make my phone faster from this point? I get confused with all these ROM things! Which is the best ROM? MoDaCo? Is there a Froyo version of it?

Long story short: JIT make your Samsung moment 2-3 times faster when running non native programs people reported to fix stability problem: please disable live wallpaper and remove custom launcher. You will need joey's recovery to apply. You need to restart the phone 4 times.
If you need a fast charge turn the handset off for awhile and see the difference.
View 7 Replies View RelatedAnyone have any recs on a browser to run faster than the stock Android browser on the Moment?
I downloaded Dolphin, which gets a lot of positive reviews on these forums, but found that it ran even slower than the stock. Tried Steel but it wouldn't load on my Moment.
Am used to Opera Mini on my Instinct loading faster than what I'm getting with the Moment which I find hard to accept given how much faster the phone is supposed to be...
