Ima new to the android world, I had a iphone and hated it. Now I have a samsung captivate and I love it. I herd of the side app loader wonder machine but I cant find the driver for my phone when I hook it up to my computer. Where can I download the driver for my phone and get the sideloader to work on my phone. Thanks

which driver should I use, sometimes it gives me two options, like a 82 or a 62 something like that. Which one should I pick

Depends on your OS - if you are running win 7 64 bit or XP 64 then you choose the one with 64. If you are running XP or 7 without the 64 then you choose the 32. If unsure, choose the one with 32 in the name.

One more thing when i hook my captivate up tp my computer it does not ask to download driver or install driver. How do I add the driver to my phone or get it to work with my phone for the sideloader machine?

Not sure im reading your question correctly, please clarify if im wrong. You dont add the drivers to your phone. Just install the drivers for your system from the links I provided above. Turn usb debugging on, (settings-applications-development-usb debugging) and plug your phone into your computer. Should be set to go.

Sorry i am asking so many questions how do you back up your. Phone. If you want to root your Phone?

can only back up your phone with nandroids..something that is done through rooting. once you have rooted your phone, you can go to your recovery screen and make a nandroid and back it up as well in case something goes wrong

★ ☆ ★ SRE v1.3.1c ★ ☆ ★ | Root + 1.2GHz OC/UV + MobileAP + USB Tether + LagFix - xda-developers

If you are brave, you can run SRE v1.3.
It will root the phone, overclock the CPU to 1.2 GHz, fix lag (EXT2 or EXT4),let you install non-market app, remove AT&T + Samsung crapware.

Super easy to apply. Only run it if you know how to flash back to factory default (in case you need to return or exchange the phone).

+1

1.2 GHz of speed?!?! that's insane..wish the hero could do that lol..

well worth it jessie
