"A lot of posters have complained about GPS performance on the Captivate. Don't expect too much from any GPS. They have tiny antennae (especially phones) and they are getting a signal from space - through clouds, your windshield, etc. They don't work well in a bunker! " I am not one that has a...

Wow. Thanks for taking the time to write out this detailed explanation.

Ok, this is something interesting i have noticed...can anyone comment on it. Inside my condo with the use wireless networks checked and use gps satellites checked, when i am on 3g(with a strong signal), on Google maps it shows my location with the large blue circle around it and has my location...

The only thing i really have done to the captivate has been the oclf. I assume i am rooted now. However, when i do speed test, i still am not able to get an upload of more than roughly 400 kbps on 3g. Sometimes the dl is 2mb + but the ul never goes higher...any thoughts? Just to add i had the...

I am new to this. did the oclf about an hour ago and all went fine. what happens if you do an ota update that is sent out from att or samsung and do not uninstall the ext2 files?

Found my swype..duh!

I had the epic and returned it today for the captivate. i did the oclf and i now have kind of a silly question. I thought the phone came with swype but i cant find it now. if it did, does rooting take that away? This is interesting and i will check out more tomorrow but my gps was not...

I was just curious, i have a Epic on sprint and many are waiting to see if the 150kb upload cap on the epic is resolved before the 30 day window is up. I was reading that the Captivate has limited uploads of about 300 to 400kb which was done by ATT (meanwhile in the same area an iphone can reach...

Best case i have found is called the Platinum at Best Buy. It was like 34 bucks and fits the phone perfectly and comes with a holster. Some days i use the holster, others i just pocket carry the phone with the case. Dont think you can go wrong with it.

Not sure exactly what it is and it does not seem to affect anything that i am aware of but i have been getting it more often as well.

I was just curious. I have an epic and a friend of mine has a captivate. Today when we were comparing phones, on his captivate he could not zoom in and make the text on the yahoo web page larger. On the epic i can either pinch to zoom or i have a plus and minus icon that appears on the bottom of...

Hopefully I did this the right way. Location is South Florida.

My question is if this "upload cap" is something they are intentionally doing(to save and increase their 3g bandwidth) in anticipation for people having increased speeds on 4g, will it affect anyone's decision on keeping their epic?

Thanks everyone for all the feedback.

That is pretty cool about the text mssg thru the headset. Do you know if you can use the voice dialer to call a number thru the bluetooth?
