    Accessories Body Glove Mirage in Pink

    When I bought my Captivate in August of last year, I bought the Black Body Glove case and I love it. It still looks brand new and it is a great fitting and protective case. I also got my wife a Captivate, but I got her one of the Samsung OEM cases with Black and Pink because I figured she would...

    I had no idea AT&T's Android Market was so small

    Engadget has a post about smartphone wars and a chart that shows the market share of Android and the iPhone with the four major carriers. It is amazing to see AT&T's Android market share be the lowest, but no surprise. My theory is that AT&T held off on competitive Android phones until they lost...

    Captivate Has A Lot More App Storage

    I have been checking out how much storage I am using on my Captivate lately. When I first bought the Captivate, I quickly found out that it had 2 GB of space for storing Apps and System files, but not having an Android phone before, I didn't really know how much space that is. Come to find out...

    No Android Upgrades to Froyo for AT&T in 2010

    This study says it all. AT&T is the only carrier that had no Froyo upgrade eligible phones in 2010. I am not saying that the Captivate not getting Froyo is AT&T's fault in any way. It is clear that Samsung is the one delaying the upgrade since it hasn't hit any carrier in the US. But, this...

    Bluetooth Won't Connect After Connecting to a PC via USB

    I have 5 Bluetooth devices, 3 of them connect to my Captivate every day, my Pioneer car stereo in my car, the stereo in our Nissan Quest, and our Panasonic cordless phone, and since they are all paired they should connect automatically when in range or when the cars are turned on. Recently they...

    AT&T UVerse App Needs to Make Phone Calls?

    The AT&T UVerse app is available so you can change recordings on your DVR, but when I went to install it, it requests access to be able to "Directly Call Phone Numbers". Why the heck would it need that? I know this is AT&T and everything, but if it were any other app developer I wouldn't...

    I am having trouble with some of the VBR (Variable Bit Rate) MP3s that I purchased from Amazon skipping the first few seconds of some of the songs on the albums. Anyone else having an issue like this with MP3s they purchased from Amazon? Almost every track from the Franz Ferdinand album You...

    Adding contact to gmail via Bluetooth

    A friend sent me his contact info via Bluetooth and his info was saved to my phone. Later that day I wanted to transfer his info to my gmail account, but I couldn't figure out how without manually copying 4 phone numbers and 3 email addresses. Anyone else know how to do this on a Captivate?

    DRM Service Causing Battery Drain

    According to a forum post on Android Central, the Sprint Epic 4G has been experiencing battery drain due to a DRM service running in the background that the Captivate also has. They say, kill the service, save your battery: Epic 4G -- Hidden DRM service may cause battery issues [From the...

    Help "Assisted" GPS?

    So the Captivate has aGPS or Assisted GPS, correct? Does that mean that the "Assisted" can come from anywhere other than the GPS (like WiFi) or does that mean the GPS gets assistance specifically from the cell towers? After the update, my GPS is still not working, and if I turn off WiFi...
