    swype problems

    Swype updated to a new beta so all of us on custom roms have been affected. I believe that the devs have cooked up fixes for most if not all of the roms. If yours hasn't been fixed yet it soon should be.

    [ROM] Serendipity

    Just flashed 6.1; it seems pretty awesome so far. Fast and smooth.

    Help! No sound

    Since you have a custom rom loaded, maybe you have a bad flash.

    New Captivate Owners / Android Users - Introduce Yourselves Here!

    I would personally recommend a custom rom. The leaked froyo is quite buggy and slow. Add to that the fact that it's not supported by anyone. If you're looking for a great rom to start with, I'd like to throw Andromeda 1.2 your way. It's, in my opinion, what the Captivate would be like on stock...

    Thinking about rooting my Captivate

    First off, rooting is not illegal as stated by a recent Library of Congress ruling. Basically, it states that the phone is your device and you can modify it as you please.

    It's all about your needs and tastes. Flash around and see what you like. Fortunately, bay_wolf made this gift of a program for us so it's never been easier to flash and whatnot.

    Why are apps starting themselves (not at boot)?

    A good rule of thumb is to turn off wifi and gps when not in use. You can also turn off background data to limit this and boost your battery. Other than that, sometimes apps need to poke their head up and see what's going on. If you look at running services, you can see how much ram and cpu they...

    Anyone looking to switch from Captivate to Inspire?

    That's a bit surprising as the Captivate has them both beaten technically. Did you disable voodoo lagfix?

    Anyone looking to switch from Captivate to Inspire?

    The Inspire looks to be nice phone indeed. I believe that with the right tweaks, i.e. rooting, perhaps a custom rom, that the Captivate can truly unleash much more of it's full potential. I would say give some of that a try and if it isn't satisfactory for you, pull the trigger on the Inspire if...
