    What is the point of "watering hole" threads?

    If we already have specific forums for various devices, why create a thread dedicated to communicating with users of a specific device within the main forum?

    Petition for unlocked bootloaders

    http://www.change.org/petitions/lg-electronics-seoul-we-would-like-to-get-the-opportunity-to-unlock-bootloader-in-lg-phones If this phone doesn't get an unlocked bootloader, I won't be buying it. I can't stand going 2 years without roms. As this is identical to the nexus.. an unlocked...

    Root So Jellybean is awesome on Captivate

    If you still happen to own a captivate, go ahead and install Jellybean. It is probably the fastest I've ever seen this phone move. The hardware may be old but, it is definitely not bad by any means. I can honestly say Jellybean gives this phone new life.

    Google book sharing?

    the current method of "sharing books" seems to just be sending others a link so they can buy the books themselves.. I've never been a big reader but, I picked up a book by Sam Harris recently and will be picking up another book or two tonight or tomorrow and want to know if there is any...

    poweramp, goneMad ect.

    Just wondering if anyone has any experience with the more serious media playing programs and what they think of them. I saw goneMad was 2$ off off a usual 4$ and was considering jumping on it. Yay or nay as to whether or not its worth it?

    SwiftKey X

    So I tried Swiftkey out about a year ago and absolutely hated it especially compared to swype at the time. If was mediocre at guessing what I wanted to type which was cool, but it lacked horribly when it didn't already know what I wanted to type. I downloaded it again last night and figured I...

    Zagg application?

    How easy is it to apply a zagg screen protector on a tablet? Normally I would just have the people at bestbuy do it so I don't screw up a 20$ scree protector.. but, since they don't sell it.. I'm forced to do it myself.. I am just wondering if anyone here has any experience applying them...

    Screen protector or no?

    On XDA there was quite a bit of discussion over whether or not a screen protector was "needed" as this device doesn't use Gorilla glass.. I am really debating the merits of a screen protector myself.. I mean It is't going in my pocket with my keys like a phone might on accident.. but, I...

    I got a tracking number today!

    I am very excited bestbuy is actually going to deliver this puppy! I do feel bad because a few people I've read weren't so lucky... it is a shame because the flyer is a great device and the community is relatively small..

    Words with friends?

    My mom got the transformer, beautiful device.. and the only quirk she has had with it, is the stupid words with friends app constantly shows ads. Any idea how to get rid of them? on iphone there is a paid version with no adds.. we haven't seen anything similar in the android market. Ad...

    Experience with bestbuy?

    So there is an item I've wanted for a while now.. and was holding out till xmas for. For some reason or another the thing said "add to cart" on the best buy website but, when you went to checkout.. it said "no shipping" even if it said "free shipping" right above the add to cart.. When you...

    Root Locked bootloaders :(

    Really want this tablet.. Sadly it doesn't seem to have the same level of dev interest as its predecessor and there are locked bootloaders. I've been wondering how "Ok" I'll be stuck on Gingerbread.. I really like ICS.

    Ice Cream Sandwich

    Alright Guys I know there is a forum for the captivate dedicated to ROMS. However, I did want to share this link with everyone. [DEV][BETA 2]ICSSGS Source - xda-developers While I doubt there will ever be an official ICS release, there is proof that the captivate can run it and run it...

    Tablet closest to the HTC flyer?

    So apparently HTC isn't making the flyer anymore as I can't get one in bestbuy and there is no option to have one shipped to me or sent to the store. I really liked the way the HTC Flyer felt, I liked how smooth the interface was.. and the pen (although I am not to artistic) was a really...

    Anyone else dying to get this game. I'll probably lose weight when it comes out because, I'll forget to eat ;D

    May go back to selling phones.

    So I've worked selling cellphones in the past and I remember making very comfortable amounts of money with commission. What I am wondering is if there are any places where I can get commission without being pressured to sell absolutely useless accessories and warranties. I do try to push...

    1 ghz enough?

    So I have a captivate I've been overwhelmingly happy with. I got it when it was still "high end" and it is a bit "mid range" these days.. I know the Lenovo A1 is only a single core 1 ghz processor. My question is will the 1 ghz processor be enough to compensate for the extra resolution...

    What phone? (ATT)

    So, my brothers turn to upgrade. I got the captivate(atrix was unavailable and I wasn't waiting), my other brother got the captivate(decent sale).. now we have another upgrade. I have trouble recommending the captivate again since now there are quite a few options. I'm a bit hesitant on...

    Release date?

    All has been quiet on this tab. I'm kinda sad the amazon kindle is getting more attention.. I would really consider this one over the amazon if I knew anything about a solid release date or even a definite price of 199$

    Any real use for tablets yet?

    Ok, so I'll be honest.. I like the looks of the lenovo A1 coming out. The eLotics also caught my eye recently. I got an hp dm1z netbook not to long ago and I've enjoyed having win 7 and decent battery life, a real OS, and keyboard. My girlfriend just got a nook not to long ago, and I've...

    Transformer and Productivity.

    While I am probably not going to hop on the tablet band wagon too soon... The asus Transformer seems to have a unique position. I am personally tired of people mentioning "well a netbook is a few hundred dollars cheaper" because, if you just want a tablet you don't need the keyboard.. if you...

    what is a "full day" for you?

    I know everyone has a different definition of "making it through the day" but, lately I consider my captivate more than ample "for the day". I usually check Screen time on VS. Since last charge to get an idea of how much I am really using my phone I have found that I get pretty amazing...

    Impossible to find good headphones

    Man anyone else notice how its so hard to find everything you want in one set of headphones? sound stage, positional accuracy, enough bass that metal songs won't sound lacking but, also won't sound all wompy.. Ontop of that you don't want the rest of the sounds outside the bass to suck.
