Samsung Captivate :: Confirmed My GPS Works
Aug 4, 2010
We'll finally had the chance to test my GPS while driving. Hers what I did
- clicked applications
- hit maps
- left start point alone (Anaheim)
- end point: Bakersfield, ca
- hit go
- hit navigate
navigation was on point from start to finish except through the grapevine area (mountains). When it did pick back up it took about 30-45 seconds cause I on some signal other than 3G, E or wifi. Looks as if it was only a G. Anyway....got home turned it off and started reverse directions. Gave me directions and found my location with 7 seconds. So maybe it's not all GPS's. Or maybe I got lucky cause every time I used google maps at Disneyland it found my location fast.

I just got off the phone with Tmobile since my visual voicemail wasnt setup, and took the time to ask if they have any word on an update to their android line up. He said he just received an email today from up top that yes Tmobile is working with Google to provide an update to the Cliq, Behold II, and myTouch(Not sure if I heard G1 or not).So the fact that the reps have gotten word of it makes me feel alot better about this. And his understanding was the Cliq would be first but the rest to follow not long after that.

I have an unlocked captivate. I have a German T-D1 pay-as-you-go sim that I've used many times in unlocked GPS phones. Now I have an AT&T captivate and wonder whether GPS or other apps will work. Does GPS require a data plan to work? If so I'll have to figure out whetted I can add this to my T-D1 plan. This will also answer my question about whether using the Captivate for navigation in the US needs a data plan to work.

I didn't see mention of this, but I received the JH7 update this morning and now I can no longer enter settings using *#*#1472365#*#*
It used to be that when I type out that character string I don't even have to press talk; it would automatically open the settings. Now the text string just disappears.

I downloaded the free version of Media Monkey on Wendsday to sync songs to my 32g memory card. I had over 2000 songs with missing artwork and tags to begin with. It took me over 2 days to get all the artwork/tags with the built in search on MM. I finished with the library last night andd this morning I plugged the card into my computer (didnt sync phone). MM found the card right away without changing any settings. Took almost 2 hours to transfer just over 4000 songs. When it was done, I mounted the card on the phone. Took awhile to scan. Went to music player and all the songs were there (thank god). And to boot, all the artwork was there also. So if you need a good sync program comparable to itunes, use MediaMonkey Download.

I was really taken with the Droid, but for my family, I just couldn't see paying Verizon $50 more a month just to have one, so we are switching to AT&T...
Really liked the "car dock" thing with the Droud X...Does this app work on the Captivate or is there a similar app that works like this?

I have multiple gmail accounts. Anything besides my main account. I have trouble pulling up the content on my phone. Should I set it from IMAP to POP to resolve this? It is very frustrating because it just spins and spins and nothing comes up. What email handler works best on the Captivate?

Samsung Fascinate poses with DROID X Boy Genius Report. See the first slide confirming 332556 kb Total memory, compared to 487780 kb for the DX. I will be looking closely at the pre-release reviews to see whether reviewers notice that it makes any difference in real-world use. Also, what effect it will have on future upgrades, esp. running Flash and 3.0 further down the road?

I finally got the answer to what the D icon is by verizon techs which stand for Digital signal in regards to calling not data. This should be on in most cases right? meaning that if your not seeing this D then your using an analog signal which could contribute to the poor call quality for some.When I first got the Fascinate this D showed up every ones in a while but then did the *228 option 2 then I got this constant D which lead me to this quest to find out what it was. Now the question is does every one get this icon in a consistent bases?

Great news, someone confirmed that web2go unlimited data works with the new Galaxy S Vibrant T-mobile Android phone. Grandfathered T-Zones Data: Discuss All Related Questions Here ONLY Before this, only our Behold 2 allowed this (nexus one does too, but not considered tmo branded). For many, this was only reason we stuck with behold 2.

Been searching around the web and there seems to be a Consensus about Unlimited data lately... Android Police.com is reporting that they have confirmed that the $10xtra will offer unlimited 3G and 4G.... no just 4G as some may previously reported Those Extra 10 Bucks/Month For HTC EVO 4G Don�t Just Get You All-You-Can-Eat 4G But 3G Too | Android News, Reviews, Applications, Games, Phones, Devices, Tips, Hacks, Videos, Podcasts - Android Police. they pinged a sprint rep and got this response on twitter Twitter / svinge: @AndroidPolice You are cor .. Also PhoneScoop is reporting the same Sprint's WiMax Plans Have No Data Cap (Phone Scoop)I wonder what the implications would be for the HotSpot feature?... If I can get Unlimited tethering and not have to worry about that 5GB LIKE I DO NOW WITH AT&T! . . . then the $30 wouldn't be bad at all

Prior to the upgrade I was using the HTC keyboard. I have read multiple forums about getting a version that works with 1.6 but, it keeps force closing on me. Has anyone managed to get the HTC KB to work post 1.6? I really don't like swype even though I have given it a chance.

Does anyone know if there is an app like LockerPicker that works on the Epic? I have it on my Hero so that I don't have to enter my PIN(that is required by my work exchange server) everytime I wake up my phone. I am thinking about getting the Epic and was just wondering if anything like this is out there.

Just wanted to let folks know I put my Incredible under an inspection scope today and confirmed the PenTile matrix layout is present on the AMOLED screen, similar to the Nexus One. Not a big surprise since it's probably the same stock screen acquired from Samsung, but I thought I'd let everyone know for certain. If you're not familiar with the PenTile matrix arrangement:I'll try to get some real high mag pictures, but it's basically as shown in the first link.Picture of the Incredible's AMOLED screen under high mag.
