Sounds like you already figured it out. When you leave a bunch of stuff running in the background, maybe using wifi, data, or gps, it really drains the battery even if the screen is off. I put my phone in airplane mode when I'm sleeping (when I don't want to turn it completely off) and hit the...

I want to use paypal because I have a paypal account that already has transactions funding it and paying out of it (ebay stuff) and thats what I used to pay for my app store purchased for the iphone & ipod. It's like "free money" to me so I don't feel bad spending on silly apps for my phone! :p

Oh, great... cuz Kies seems to work so well, too! :p

Sorry, forgot about the "thank" button! :P Update installed and everything is working great. Even the GPS!

Once the market can use Paypal, I will actually start paying for apps just due to the simplicity of it. I'm not about to punch in my CC number each time I want to buy something for a couple bucks.

Sweet zombie Jesus on a unicorn! It's working for me, too! I'm downloading the update at this very moment.

Or, try rebooting your phone. Sounds stupid, but I'm really surprised by the number of people that NEVER power-down their phones. That fixed my sudden "can't connect via USB" problem. As for the OTA update, I have never been able to connect to ATT servers, either, and I'm not rooted. I've been...

Otterbox makes top-of-the-line cases. I had their soft rubber one on my Nokia e71. I'm happy with the body glove I've got for the Captivate, but if I didn't have one I would get an otterbox.

I get the "connot connect to ATT servers" message when I try to get the OTA update. I'm starting to think I'm just screwed.

Been having the same issues with the OTA update. Never thought to look for a solution from Samsung. Thanks. Update: Tried it, major FAIL. Software tells me my phone cannot be upgraded.

I have not had any problems with the stock music player, and no lag/performance issues at all. I think you should try getting a task manager (Advanced Task Killer is pretty good). I have noticed that a LOT of things get to running around in the background that you need to kill in order to...

I think mine is a class 4... Kingston 8 gig, paid around $15 for it. At that price, I wouldn't bother with anything less.

Translation of Samsung's statement: "We are telling you something to shut you up for a while because we don't know what to do. Please don't return your phones."

You know, I had that same problem on my nokia e71x that I just upgraded from. I could only send photos if I turned the quality/size down. Guess it's just ATT limiting the size of the messages.

I love my Captivate, but I'm no "fanboy" about it. If I was able to switch carriers, or if any other carrier worked as well as ATT in my area, I'd have a DroidX by now, too. Or a different Android phone with ATT if they had anything else in the same class as the Captivate. The GPS is not a...

Hold down the ?123 key on the samsung keyboard- it switches to the copy & paste keyboard with arrow keys to help you select what you want.

My top 5: Super AMOLED Screen (I want a TV made with this) Android itself and Google integration (so many options) Storage Capacity (16gig + 32gig SD card) Powerful hardware Form Factor (large screen, but device overall is very pocketable) My issues: Questionable GPS performance (still hoping...

It's just not a very elaborate widget. It gives you the updates, but as you've noticed, that's pretty much it. You might be happier downloading seperate Facebook and Twitter apps/widgets to put on the screen. For what it's worth, I don't use ANY of the Samsung-provided widgets. They didn't...

Yeah, I think I'd have a Droid X if I were with Verizon. The funny thing is, even with a funky GPS, the Captivate is still the best device on AT&T! :p

I think we should let one of these threads die, instead of dual-posting in each of them. I vote to kill this one.
