HOLY CRAP... I must look into this!! I didn't think this was possible.

Yeah, i thought it was pretty bunk that he made a "worlds first" out of it when I loaded the bootloaders onto my phone about a full day before he got involved.

You better be getting a slice of that $40 pie he is selling. Honestly, I think that is absolute garbage. This guy is taking advantage of many users offering what should be a donation service because of the work you and others have done.

This is a DEAD thread.

Now Mobiletechvideos provides a professional grade, top notch technical service. He runs a business and that's his source of income. We text each other for technical advice once in a while. Even if I wanted to, I could not possibly keep up with his workload and do my own job as a hospital electronics technician. We have a deal worked out where he will eventually buy Rebellos a replacement phone via PayPal donations. He's a guy running a business. I look at the business aspect as a downfall of his ability to support himself with technical expertise. All I'm saying is technically its not a worlds first as Android isn't booted and I was running the bootloaders first.

Tax Time

Only once a year it comes around. For me it means a new phone, I don't really care about the cost because its a yearly thing. So the question is what kind of phone to buy. I'm bound to a sim card so it's most likely going to be a T-Mobile phone. K so the question is what to buy I was thinking about a Nexus-s or a Droid 2 global because they both have Sims. Any idea's? I'm looking for power, speed, flexibility (rooting) and looks. I'm still rocking a good old g1 but I'm a little obsessed with (ORD) obsessive rom disorder.. some of you can relate.

Patience is a virtue that I have virtually none. But I love my Desire soooooo much that I'll not give it up. Except maybe for a Meizu M9. Anyone has it here?
It looks nice

My GF's in freezing, fouled-up Beijing. I'm advising her to get the Meizu M9 if she insists on an Android... Company owes her some relocation cash and she's running out of ideas on how to spend it.
I'll stick to the Desire until they manage to root the Meizu

Have been using Captivate for half year...
I would recommend it to people who like to customize while having to look like they are using iPhone...

Thanks, but no thanks. If I want Android 2.2, I'd get a HTC. If I want a working GPS, I'll never buy a Samsung. If I want an iPhone, I'll load the MIUI ROM, or just buy the danged iPhone.
'nuff said
/not flaming, am I?
Ehh, been screwed over by Samsung too many times... I don't use GPS too much, but I do like Froyo and updates on time.
You must be a company rep.
I can't imagine that a true XDA member openly recommend the Captivate. We have too many un-addressed issues.
He's not a Rep. Just a happy person who loves his phone theirs nothing wrong with that

Somehow, that is even worse... and iFanboi who loves a Samsung phone.
Didn't know someone will care about my post... =-D
Well, I'm really sorry if some of you guys think my opinion is false...
I will repeat that, "MY OPINION"!!!
I'm not saying anything about recommending to buy this phone,
So please don't kill me, since this is why I post this thing on "off-topic" section.
: In my opinion!
-Once you get good phone by going through exchange process, I think this phone is really handy...
it have good screen quality and fast enough to play any fun games on/off the market...
[[[ I wonder why same Samsung models have different functions? In Korea, where it's mainly creates phone or share the ideas, don't have any problem with the phone... But of course, it's expensive in Korea... There is no 1or2-year contract, which means they are selling it for original price! And that original price is double the amount of US original price. ]]]
+I'm happy that I can buy same model phone in US
Ill admit that I love my captivate. Samsung makes very high quality phones. However, their software isn't worth sh!+. That's why I'm at XDA. If it wasn't for my crappy software, I'd never be a member. Considering I joined when I had an HTC phone that goes for them as well. My captivate just needs cyanogenmod. I've missed that since I destroyed my HTC phone.

Lets support this guy....

Basically, Motorola has the chance to ban All New Xbox360s in the US and with Microsoft being a patent troll, I'd love to see turnabout be fair play.
http://kotaku.com/5912545/this-man-...anned-from-sale-and-he-might-actually-succeed
I can see the 11 year old CoD players raging now.
On a serious note, have fun. I'd honestly be shocked if Motorola pulled this one out. For a company with such a history and such integrity, they have the business sense of a low-level pyramid-schemer and are completely unaware of what their customers want.

Hmm its possible in Germany too. The banning of all Xbox 360s, and Windows 7 PCs.
None of it is fair though. There should be limit on this stuff.

Guess you don't know that Microsoft is already doing the same thing to Moto over phone technology and is likely to keep Moto from being able to import a number of their new phones.
Turn about is fair play and as of now this is the only way to fight back. If you want to blame someone blame the patent system for not properly enforcing intellectual property rights in the first place and for granting patents that shouldn't be allowed as well. The system is screwed up and this is the result.
This is how tech company's derp around....
Motorola I'm very disappointed in you for trolling around, especially since google is controlling you.
Motorola = derp face

I love the 90s. Good times.
What's that saying about honey, vinegar and bees
not sure why we should care about this.
if you wanted svdo then why buy an s4? the specs were released at least a month in advance.
man.. i really wish i had a custom SGS4 with my avatar on it....
i figure if samsung is watching then i might as well ask
I thought manufactures aren't supposed to post/monitor these sites. Although I'm sure they very well due, I swear I heard that a long time ago. Either way, too funny

I think its great they would reach out to someone like that. Of course its something they have no control over... when its a real bug we never hear anything.

I'm sure they monitor them, but it's not smart for them to post on them as they get ripped by someone no matter what they say. Kind of like the example in the OP above. I'm betting that support person will not be reaching out to anyone again anytime soon!
Its a shame really, they used to have developer relations and tried to reach out to the community with samsungjohn. however its just too much for one person and needs a whole team, we had kernel sources, responses from samsung and just a better connection with them.
its when samsung really took off in the rooting community.
I really miss this feature from the sgs3. It's too bad they cheaped out on us

If Sprint's LTE was anywhere as robust as their 3G (which in itself is not saying much) then this would not be much of an issue, but it's not.
Sometimes you wonder why they make such bone-headed decisions. Why couldn't they just leave the SVDO support in there. I doubt they can point to some incompatibility issue with anything like CPU or SoC or physical design etc..
OP is funny?
SVDO exclusion is almost certainly a Sprint decision, as no other phone besides the s3 and ltevo had it, or will have it.
And referencing T-mobile LTE? really? Missed that announcement where their LTE network is magically complete
