Comment My AT&T/Captivate Experience (Score 1) 136
A couple weeks down the line, 2.1-update1 rolls out, disables my tethering abilities. I called AT&T, Samsung, talked with an in-store rep, and called AT&T again. Samsung says it's not their problem, AT&T pushed the update. The In-store rep and the person I talked to on the AT&T phonecall both agreed that I needed to use third-party software to continue tethering. They were pretty much ENCOURAGING ME TO ROOT MY PHONE. The solution I found was to use a third-party tethering app which I had to remove the AT&T sim card in order for it to show in the marketplace, install, then reinsert the sim card.
Still waiting for that 2.2 update that I was promised when I bought the phone.
Starting to look more and more like I should just return the phone, drop AT&T, and move to another Galaxy S carrier.
