Samsung Captivate :: Unsigned Apps On Phone For AT&T Lockdown?
Jun 26, 2010
Does anyone know if there will be any unsigned apps on the captivate for AT&T? App sideloading? Or is ATT gonna lock this one down like the Aria and Backflip?
Engadget preview said:
"happy to see AT&T hasn't done much to the OS"
"AT&T may have been accused of crippling its Android phones, but the Samsung Captivate -- one of the US versions of the Galaxy S -- is about to change all of that."
But they don't mention whether or not they've disabled app sideloading and unsigned apps.

I'm new to Android. I recently was an iPhone fan but thought that Android was a better alternative to iPhone. So anyway, I have a few questions about the Captivate. Does Android have support for apps that you can use to password protect certain apps on the phone? Like messages, and photos for more private stuff. Another question I have: is the Captivates reception really bad? I currently have the iPhone 4 while it doesn't have the best of signal, its not too bad either. And my last question is if the captivate has support for 32gb cards. I'm sorry if someones already gone over these but I could find anything right away. Anyways, I look forward to Android and the Captivate.

I just rooted my phone and got carried away deleting apps. I am not the quickest when it comes to computers so I started deleting everything in red. Yes I really did do that. Now I cannot download. I cannot use my dialer. I think I deleted up to about C before I said uhoh I may be in trouble here. I rooted because I hate the phone. I liked my iphone better as it was quicker and had better email. Those are my main two things. Figured if I rooted I could get rid of the lag and set up a better email. Well here I am. I need help or this thing will be taking a jump out my truck window soon. Help me like this phone please.

Just made an update.zip using Titanium Backup 3.4.1. Can anybody help me with how to sign it as it is unsigned. I am sure an unsigned update.zip can't be installed from the recovery menu.

some apps sending GPS and phone# data surreptitiously to advertising servers
Some Apps caught sending private data to advertising servers
you may want to check if your apps are on the list & decide if you're OK with keeping them.
I believe I have the BBC app installed.
I just checked but my BBC app looks like it is the official one

I have a son who is 11 and has 2 android devices one gift and one hand me down. He also has Google store play gift certificates redeemed on his account.I have a daughter who is 7 and she has one hand me down android device.
I tried setting Google play to require a password but I noticed "free" labeled items were still allowed to be downloaded. I want to monitor what my kids put on their devices so this was not an option as some of the goriest items are labeled as free. Right now I am using a parental control device that Blocks Google play altogether. The problem is I then have to go on the web to unlock their device just to allow them to browse the store to see if there is something they want and then I have to relock the device down.
What I REALLY would like is a program that lets them browse the store at their leisure but disallow ANY download without a password free or paid. Basically is there any program that allows for non full app blocking but does block any attempted download from the store without a password.

The Captivate (and Galaxy S in general) all come with Swype, right? But Swype isn't a market app right now, right? As in, the HTC Aria can't get it unless it is rooted/worked around (not too hard, but a hassle)
So is the Captivate the only phone on AT&T that can officially have swype? We all know that Apple won't let Swype in their market
Is swype coming to the official android market? is it already there? (I don't have an android, but I want one)

I have 2 Captivates on my family plan. I just downloaded(using Appbrain) a bunch of apps to my phone. I want to switch to and use my wife's Captivate which is brand new. How can I get all of my apps onto her phone? If I put my sim card in hers and sync w/ Appbrain will it install all of the apps I have on mine? If I put her sim card in my old Captivate and sync her Appbrain account will that erase my old apps and install hers?

New to the Captivate, and on my second phone (1st one would turn off, so I had it replaced). I downloaded a few apps on my first phone and everything showed up with an icon just like magic. Now I am trying to download a few free games for my kids to play and they will not download. Do I need to change a setting on my phone?

I LOVE this phone, but what is it with these applications starting themsleves in the background? I use the gmail app for my mail, and I am trying to minimize my data usage and everything so I've done the WiFi sleep policy setting, but after I went to bed, I woke up all of these running:
Youtube
Email
Voice
Gmail
Twitter
Gallery
Music Player
Video Player
Granted, I don't think gallery/music/video uses data, but still. It seems weird that they just decide to start up. Is there any way to BLOCK applications from starting up unless I do it myself? Or at least a way to make sure they don't use the data network unless I say? I have ATK, but they still start on their own randomly.

I know there are threads dealing with app loading on the Captivate, but I am still confused. I read the sideloading sticky, and came out more confused than ever.I am a current Tilt2 (Winmo) user, and am considering buying a Captivate.Are you only able to install apps that you download through Marketplace? If so, is there any simple way to get around that? My boyfriend has a Sprint Samsung moment, and all you have to do is use Astro file manager to install apps which you have saved to your SD card.Is this not true on the Captivate?I definitely would not want to purchase a phone that doesn't allow third party apps.
