Re: Downloading apps from WiFi

Can you download apps or listen to music, or do email while you are on WiFi? This way I don't use any of my data downloading apps or anything else. Please let me know.

Also, I will be getting my new Captivate tomorrow. I am very excited. If there is anything that I need to know right off the bat, please let me know. Really worried about the one major concern I keep reading about and that is the phone shutting down. So again, any info or advice you can give me for when I get the phone would be greatly appreciated.

Yes you can download, listen to music, send & Receive email on WiFi. I think you can pretty much do anything except make a call and text message on WiFi.

There are plenty of stickies here with plenty of info for you to read and learn all about the Captivate. If you don't see a thread on what you need use the search.

It's hit and miss with the shut down problem. I've had my phone for about two months and in the last 2 weeks it has shut down on me 3 times. My daughters friend had hers for about 3 or 4 weeks and hers started shutting down 5 to 6 times a day. She did a restore and it has not done it since. it's been 3 weeks since she did the retore.

The WiFi spots that I have been near were open. No password so I was able to connect. I connected the same as if I was at home.

You can make calls and text messages on Wifi if you use Google Voice, just that it will be from your Google Voice number and not from your Captivate number.
