Samsung Captivate :: Remove Clear Plastic Case
Jul 31, 2010
When I bought my Captivate at the AT&T store, they tossed in a free case, which they put on the phone before I could even hold it . This transparent Plastic thing is evil, by which I mean I can't get it off. I'm afraid to take a screwdriver to it because I don't want to risk scratching the phone (that was why I got the case in the first place). Does anyone have experience with "incipio" plastic case? Do you know how to get it off safely? Can I take it in the store and have them do it?

So I bought the clear case for my captivate, but noticed I put it on before taking a sticker off the back of the phone. So here I am trying to get it off and not having much luck. Anyone manage to get it back off?

I bought an Epic 4G from the shack and I bought a 15 dollar case, don't buy the case that is 15 bucks and by a brand that I dont' even know. It bent the plastic piece up on my phone and I had to snap it back in place, Now it is loose where it was up. I am going to be buying another case from best buy and returning this one to radio shack. Kinda irritated and annoyed.

I need some help with cases. Ive seen a couple on ebay, amazon, some online stores, but i can never find a review. I don't know if they will fit snug or not. Im going for more of a silicon plastic case, i don't need a screen protector i got one. Just the case, thanks. So any recommendations?

Just wanted to start a hard case review. Anyone got a hard case yet? Will seidio make one for this phone? How about screen protectors? I'm assuming the steinheil crystal for the regular galaxy s they have on the website won't fit?

I really like the feel of this device on my hand - without anything else around it. For now I am only planning to put a screen protector and when I'm not using it, slip it in a slim and snug leather case.Anyone here has found something like this that fit their Captivate? Even Vaja has some catching up to do for Galaxy models

Anyone know of a "skin" type case, plastic or otherwise that goes on the back and will lock or prevent the keyboard from sliding open. I have no intention of using the keyboard.

I have such a nice looking phone but the majority of it is hidden in my case. Anyone have a nice clear case that snaps on both back and front? I'm thinking about purchasing this amzer case.

I've check Amazon and nada.
Anyone know of a belt holster type case for this phone?
I already have the phone protected with the gel case and a screen protector,
but I dont always wear shirts with pockets and I keep lots of scratchy bits
in my pants pockets, so I'm looking for a case I can clip to my belt.
If anyone knows of a generic one that will house the phone, that would
work too.

Hey guys, just wanted some input from everyone out there. I tried the tv out feature on my new Captivate and my friends 5 hour old Captivate via the 3.5 RCA cables on two different plasma tv's. We did not get a clear output like we saw in the youtube video. We get what looks like an old scrambled cable tv signal. I swapped the yellow and red cable as well as the white just in case the video signal was feeding through one of those cables and we still got the scrambled output.

I dropped mine about 1-2 feet onto the sidewalk and the glass shattered. I'm currently trying to decide whether I want to pay the $162 to get it fixed or sell it for parts on ebay. Thing is, Samsung claims they've only had to replace the glass on 3 captivates so far, and I cannot find a single screen-damaged Captivate on ebay past or present. Did I just have really really bad luck with my drop? I find it hard to believe that so few are getting broken. If I do fix and keep my Captivate I want to get a really protective case for it.

I am currently running a rooted Samsung Captivate. I have not flashed it or anything and am still running 2.1 with the firmware update (JH7). I rooted to get rid of AT&Ts bloatware which I did using System App remover. With Froyo on the way, I was wondering if a master reset would turn it back to stock (minus AT&T bloatware) and enable OTA updates again?

Download Update.zip
Plug in your Captivate to your computer. When the phone notifies you that the USB has been plugged in, scroll down your notifications bar and click on USB connected: Select to copy files to/from your computer.¯
Click Mount¯
Now, you'll probably see a popup telling you a new USB drive has been inserted, open it up on your computer. In Windows, click Open folder to view files.¯

Is there a way where you can remove all your contacts at once? I have them all on Google and want to go ahead and remove all the contacts from my sim card and phone. Then sync my phone with google so they are all current.

So my primary computer crashed and I had to reinstall all my programs and restore files from a backup. I had been syncing my Outlook calendar with my Gmail account using Google Calendar Sync which would then sync with my Captivate. When I reinstalled Outlook and synced with Gmail, it created duplicates of all my appointments. The only way to fix this was to delete all my appointments in Gmail and resync. Unfortunately, it didn't remove the duplicates from my phone. In fact, I have triplicates of many appointments. I thought I could just remove the Gmail account from my phone and add it back. Nope, my phone says that it's required by some programs and can only be removed through a factory reset. I thought that maybe I had to have a Gmail account on the phone for it to work so I added another one. I then attempted to delete the original. Nope, still wouldn't let me. Since that wasn't the problem I tried to delete the newly added account. Nope, no can do. So am I understanding correctly that there is no way to remove an account once it's been added without doing a factory reset?

I am brand new to the Android world (replaced my lost iPhone4 with the sexy looking Captivate), and was wondering how to remove items from the default dock on the home screen. I use Gmail instead of the Mail app, so I would like to remove the Mail app and put Gmail there instead. I just rooted my phone using the walkthrough on this forum - what else do I need to install in order to gain this functionality?

I just got my Captivate on Sunday, got it rooted, removed bloatware etc and am a new member of this forum. I searched the forum to make sure it is not a re-post, but I could not find anything. Since I bought Beautiful Widgets to display time and weather I wanted to remove the time from the notification bar. Does anyone know how to do this?

When I view my processes through Astro, it's showing Swype as using around 20mb mem. I never use it, nor do I intend to. Can I remove it without rooting? Can I remove it with rooting?

I am running a custom ROM currently that I love and really just want to know if there's a way to dump the clock from the notification bar without flashing a different ROM that offers the capability of doing this. Is there some custom theme apk I can install that will let me fiddle with the stuff in the notification bar? Or is anyone else here running the same ROM I am currently (DocRomV8.ADJP5 w/SetiroN kernel) who knows how to edit/mod the notification bar?

Long story short, I ended up removing all user data (including apps) from my phone. I went to the "Downloaded" category in my Market account, and downloaded some of them, but the rest I don't want. How do I get rid of those (all labeled "installed") without having to download and uninstall them manually?
