    Tethering: The End Is Nigh

    Well, we saw it coming earlier this year: http://androidforums.com/samsung-captivate/300602-tether-police-coming.html Last night, I got the standard AT&T nastygram text message, informing me that tethering requires a tethering plan. A quick search found this: AT&T Cracking Down on MyWi...

    FYI: Samsung and Their Worthless Warranty

    I just got off the phone with Samsung Support concerning the headset jack. It's shorting out and getting progressively worse. Playing media, it only comes through one channel unless you put pressure on the jack. And because it's not registering correctly, the phone gets confused and thinks...

    Anyone know how to redeem the warranty?

    I an ironic twist, an almost completely un-complained about part of my phone is failing: the headset jack. Does anyone know how to do a legitimate warranty claim? Or do I just need to head to a local AT&T store and complain until they give me another one?

    Accessories Extended Battery

    Has anyone yet found an extended battery for the Captivate? The most I could find was a 1600mah at fommy.com. Samsung is selling extended batteries for other SGS phones, but not this one.

    Root ClockworkMod Recovery Lagfix Options

    So I flashed Axura today, and while exploring options in ClockworkMod Recovery, I came across lagfix options. I had no idea there were so many different lagfixes out there. Any suggestions on which one to use, if any?

    Help Stock Email apk

    So I may have ... um ... "accidentally" deleted my stock email app during my overzealous purge of bloatware. Does anyone know if I can find the apk for the stock email to reload it? Would that even work? I'd rather not reflash the whole thing for just an email app.

    I am the reason the network is slow. Mega data usage!

    This cracked me up. I switched from an iPhone to the Captivate on July 27. AT&T will rue the day! Has anyone else seen a sharp increase in your data usage?

    Skip Audiobooks in Media Player

    Does anyone know how to skip audiobook mp3 files in Media Player. It's especially troublesome when trying to listen to music on random. I guess I could make a playlist, but I have thousands of songs I'd have to add. What I would really like to do is just exclude the Audiobook folder from the...

    Best Guitar App

    Just wondering if anyone knows of a hands-down best guitar app. I need something to help me find chords and chord variations. So far, I've been using Robotic Guitarist and Solo Lite, both of which are ok, but I was just wondering if there was an end-all-be-all app out there.

    Visibility in Direct Sunlight

    As I recall, every review for the Captivate dings it for being hard to see the screen in direct sunlight. But is it just me, or is it not that bad? I've been using mine outdoors for running. That includes controlling the media player, switching to email to link to the map my running team emailed...

    Help Home Button Flicker

    I have an interesting home button flicker issue. It works fine probably 90% of the time, but sometimes, I'll long press to get the recent apps popup, and the haptic feedback flickers five or six times and the screen pauses for a second and then goes nuts, going to the home screen, then to the...

    The Two Things That Would Make Me Buy the Next iPhone

    In all of the discussion and pondering over the Captivate vs. the iPhone, I must say that I might actually go back to Apple's flagship IF: 1. ...the next iPhone used an OLED screen. During the keynote, Jobs said that Apple didn't feel like the technology was ready for the cell phone market. I...

    Sweat. Not the worry kind, the wet kind.

    Had Sally out on a run today playing an audiobook. About two miles in, the sound stopped. Actually, it was coming out of the phone speaker instead of the headphones. I've seen this before after applying a Phantomskinz full body kit. Both times, dried her out longer and she's fine. I've taken her...
