Froyo

[flashman03]

Boulder is a moron. Most people enjoy the Android platform because of the ability to tweak and make adjustments the way we are able to. This is way more than what Blackberry or an iPhone can do. You on the other hand feel cheated because it was not perfect. So what, you did what you had to do and got rid of the phone. The way I see it is one less person that me, any developer or smart person has to help you with when you would have questions.

And maybe you can start using proper capitalization and grammar with your posts if you really want to sound smarter than everyone else. See you later bud, hopefully you don't come back to this forum as you have nothing else to bring to the table.

You people obviously don't read very well.

My higher standard is expecting to get products that don't suck taint when I pay rightfully hard-earned, post-tax dollars for them. And to have a network that both works well and charges a reasonable rate for services delivered.

Neither of those conditions were satisfied with the Captivate on AT&T.

You fanboys can keep massaging each other into self congratulatory oblivion. And, it's true that you may not have my standards, or any standards whatsoever. Maybe sucky things are the way you like it. That's fine for you. Tens of millions of people shop at Walmart, too. I just consider the low-end of the spectrum to be where dirtbags congregate, and I don't want to be one.

There isn't a single carrier in the USA that doesn't neuter the phones they offer. If you think so, you are lying to yourself. It's actually been my experience that AT&T does less to the phones than other carriers. Go buy a Verizon Droid, you'll see.

As for the phones, that's less a carrier thing than it is a manufacturer things, and in case you haven't noticed, ALL smartphones across ALL carriers have heir downfalls right now.

As for the network, mine works just fine. I have less issues than I had with other carriers, and the customer service rocks. The coverage you are going to get will vary depending on where you live. You couldn't pay me enough to have Verizon where I live. The coverage here is horrid! Down by my in-laws, I can barely make a call, but they have Verizon, and it works great. Maybe you are in a bad area for AT&T.

But, you obviously got butthurt, and feel the need to troll around in a forum section dedicated to an AT&T phone and market. You must know everything we don't, almighty phone god. I bow to thee.


I've had AT&T for my personal comms for a few years, and I think I'll be staying put.

Good luck with that kruftware, loser fanbois!

And you still don't have an official froyo, which is what I started this thread about.

So, postulate that, crybaby b1tchez.

i think bouldergeek trolls over at the blackberry forums, too.
he's just sour he can't get good signal in his mom's basement and his 56k bandwidth is restricted to 2-hours per day due to poor first semester grades (although his use of a thesaurus isn't half bad).

Boulder - get stuffed. No one here is calling you names but you are throwing them around in a petty rage. Go take your meds and play X-Box for a while...

derande - hahahahah!

 

[BoulderGeek]

Whatever, n00bs.

I guess all of these less-than-satisfied Galaxy S users are also full of it?

http://phandroid.com/2010/10/05/over-5-million-samsung-galaxy-s-phones-sold-worldwide/#comments

Yeah, only your petty opinions count. Define narcissism. It's right next to "D-Bag, see TheBronze" in the forum dictionary.

The Captivate and other Galaxy S phones suck bawlz, yet my 2008 phone keeps on chugging at a fraction of the price, with nearly 100% of the features.

 

[TheBronze]

Well, Boulder...Samsung says 5 million units sold. That page has 27 comments on it. Thats .00054% of users. Yep, thats a lot of complaints. Even if you figure there are a thousand users on this site, and a thousand users on XDA and all of them are dissatisfied with their Galaxy phones, that's still only .04%. Hardly an overwhelming number of users...

So by your own admission, your phone isn't 100% as featured as a Galaxy? You should throw a fit and DEMAND that they fix these issues or else! Don't forget to call the carrier names while you are doing it. And call us some more names too, we like it. No, really, its good for a laugh.

Oh, and the fact that you HATE the Galaxy and returned it, yet still seem to want to come here and thumb your nose says a lot about your maturity level...

I know, I should just leave him alone, but he makes it SO easy.

 

[BoulderGeek]

You're just petty and bitter because you got stuck with junk.

But, I bet if you whine enough, your Mommy will buy you another phone, since you're obviously a petulant schoolkid.

Good luck with your crapware!

Personally I think the captivate is great even without official froyo. I think its great and a couple problems like gps dont bother me because.... well im 16 and ive lived in las vegas my whole life....where am i gonna go? If you really think the captivate is that bad then why did you buy it in the first place? If you bought it without looking at any reviews of the product then you are just a bad consumer who doesnt spend there money well. <3

So what phone you getting?

I now have Cog 2.2 beta Froyo rom...amazingly quicker than just leaked Froyo!

Comes rooted, no bloatware, Ryans OCLF with ability to install ext2 files and lagfix! I am LOVING THIS PHONE!!!

To each their own, android is the future of phones, for a while at least. iPhones will have to start catching up soon in my own opinion...but thats what I think...to each their own!

 

[flashman03]

I just installed Cog beta 5.5 and I am happy with it. Not any faster than stock Froyo because I am getting the same linpack scores and he no longer includes any lagfix. I just saw a guy post saying the 2E recovery is working, I just don't want to install it and lose everything I did on two phones today.

 

[BoBoCaptivate]

Cog 5.5

Yeah, I got it too. Awesomeness ... and surprisingly easy.

Anyone not liking the at&t update for a variety of reasons should check this out ... (for one, GPS lock in 4 seconds) ... and a TON of other things:

Wiki:
FAQ - Cognition Wiki

Site:
Download Cognition!

I really do recommend reading as much you can on the Wiki to make sure you know what will happen and how you should do it ... and know that you do it at your own risk (e.g. MASTER CLEAR WILL CLEAR ALL YOUR DATA -- so back up FIRST!)

Anyways, super pumped.
