just read the instructions... carefully. I sent someone I know to XDA to flash their phone and they still messed it up somehow....

I was just browsing the HD2 forum, looks like they got Gingerbread awhile ago! Damn I sold my HD2 thinking that the Galaxy S would get updates faster since the hardware is closer to the Nexus S...

Anyone else find it's kind of strange that the T-mo Galaxy S doesn't have much developer support?

So I'm trying to stream a radio station at work but I can't seem to figure out how. I have an .asx file but that format doesn't seem to be supported by android?

Anyone know how to stream asx files?

My swype keeps adding the word "divina" to my dictionary wtf? Sometimes when I swype "gonna" I get divina. I delete it, and fucking the next day it's back.

Have you updated to the new beta?
New beta is better, but still has dictionary pollution issues.

All this is supposed to be ironed out by their next release.

FUCK i lost my phone today. My mom called my phone and a guy named Doug picked up. She asked him if it would be okay after for me to call him and he said "sure". After that I tried calling him and he didn't pick up and turned off my phone. My phone has the a lock code on it so is it even possible for him to use it?

I only had this phone for less than 2 months.

ya password doesnt mean anything. He'll just go into recovery and reflash a rom. Free phone for him.

I know how you feel. I lost my first iphone that way. dropped outta my pocket and 2 mins later i realized and went back and it was taken and turned off. Did you buy it with a credit card? Most credit cards offer buy protection up to 90 days after purchase. If you loose/break/get stolen whatever you bought on the card, they'll refund your money. Need to file a police report and then call the CC company.

filth 02-17-2011 06:11 PM

No i bought it off craigslist :(

The worst thing is he said it would be fine for me to call him, then when i try he just turns it off. SMFH

filth 02-17-2011 08:41 PM

I got my phone back!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The guy picked up, but its locked now because of too many attempts on trying to unlock the pattern.

What do i do now?

TIA

Gnomes 02-17-2011 08:56 PM

Lucky you, to receive your phone back. Props to the guy doing the right thing. Hope you gave him more than a "thank you, kind sir"

filth 02-17-2011 08:57 PM

Yeah, I bought him a gift card to starbucks. But how do I unlock my phone now :(

hey props to the dude for doing the right thing. I love awesome people like that.

ddr 02-17-2011 11:06 PM

is this a good time to get something like this phone right now? or the desire hd? or wait for something this year?

someone mentioned the nexus S but it doesn't run on rogers/fido etc.

Gh0stRider 02-17-2011 11:20 PM

desire hd just released not too long ago. haven't really read any reviews on it yet.

ddr 02-17-2011 11:34 PM

ooh... it's $50 difference at telus so i thought many ppl would jump on it. i guess i'll search up a bit more too. i'm getting REALLY bored of my 9700 and i flash/upgrade all my friends' iphones. android is new and exciting to me =p

Did you manage to unlock it? What I found worked for me on my old HTC Magic, and my friends' Nexus Ones, was to answer a phone call, then while in the middle of the call, press the home button, then go into settings and disable the lock from there.

Worse comes to worst, you can do a factory reset which will wipe your phone, but you can at least get it to work (internal SD/external SD will be left intact).

If you can't manage to fix it lemme know.

If you can get it for cheap, it'll be definitely worth it. Resell when you've got a HUP, and in the meantime you'll have a sweet phone.

what about desire z? a bit heavier, but comes with a sliding keyboard

ddr 02-18-2011 12:34 AM

edit: researched a bit more ...

i've narrowed it down to the captivate, desire, desire z, or desire HD.

should I be aware of anything if i buy a used one from craigslist? i.e. will i have a problem with warranty if I bring a captivate to Rogers? seems someone was having trouble bringing back a galaxy S to bell 'cause they weren't a customer (i'm with Fido) and got the phone on CL.

filth 02-18-2011 10:04 PM

Thanks everyone for the input, i just did a factory reset. It was okay, i didnt have a lot of apps installed.

I just hope everyone that finds a phone will do the same. :)

Oleophobic 03-08-2011 12:17 PM

wow just great
I now join the list of people with internal SD Card corruption.
Had it for less than a year too.

fuck gotta call tech support when I get home.
according to this thread people are getting $100 credits as well.

I hope I don't get a moron rep giving me the run-around. :(

krazynuck 03-08-2011 12:27 PM

has anyone noticed after the 2.2 update their captivate battery is even worse?

yuusha 03-08-2011 01:34 PM

^Word, I'm getting horrible battery life no matter what I do.
