FUCK YOUR SHIT. You are the most shitty Korean piece of shit ever. Your products blow, your service is even worse, I hope you burn in hell. I wouldn't use your android phone to wipe my ass with, in fact its getting sent down range this weekend to be destroyed. It should NOT take me 100 steps to update your shitty ass Samsung Captivate to Froyo. It should be an OTA download, not through your shitty ass "Samsung Kies" program that does not even work. I hope you burn in hell.

I'll agree, the Samsung Galaxy S series of Android phones has been a bit of a clusterfuck.

My Samsung from about 3 years ago.  Nothing but problems.  5+ service calls and they finally gave me some of my money back.

I got burnt on one of their phones too, they'll never get another dime out of me for one there shitty ass cell phones.

Atleast with the android phone you can root it and run someone elses rom's though. I stick with HTC phones now.

I have two Samsung TV's one of them blew a capacitor. This is what happens when a company uses components that are weaker than they are supposed to be. They wouldn't even fucking cover it. I had to take the TV apart myself and solder in a new one.

Samsung makes great products.  When they work (most of the time) they are great.   Unfortunately, many of their products age like a Renault at 100,000 miles... and Samsung support for their products is poor to non existent.

I'd have to say that's completely and utterly wrong.

Samsung TV's suck, big time.  One month past my warranty, the entire screen went haywire.  Samsung at first denied I had a problem and tried to blame it on my cable service.  They scheduled a technician to come inspect my unit.  TWICE, the mf'r didn't show up.  Then, they wouldn't do anything for me after spending $2K+ on my first big screen.  I raised the ante by demanding to speak with upper mangagement.  They could not explain why a $2K TV would go bad after one year.  

Finally got them to pro-rate a refund for about half.

I'll never buy another Samsung product.

Samsung finally acknowledged their capacitor problems a couple of years ago and was covering repairs.......after screwing over thousands of customers. From your post looks like they started playing games again. They were using capacitors that weren't properly rated.

I did the same as you. My choices were to go through the weeks long process of a Samsung repair, shell out $150 of my own money to buy a new power board, or spend $6 at Radio Shack for 4 new capacitors. Fortunately I didn't loose too much time, when trying to figure out what was wrong the first Google search I clicked on was a post by a TV repairman pointing to the capacitors. The real miracle was I actually found a Radio Shack that still sells electronics parts.

Here's all it cost me:
Samsung TV - $1200
Soldering iron - $15 (about 20 years ago).
Solder - $3
Capacitors (4) - $6
Fluke VOM - $250 (15 years ago). Dusted it off and installed a new battery.
Two years electronics training at Trade School - $18,000. Haven't used this training in 10 years.

Such a deal!

Every Samsung product I have bought(2 phones, 1 tv, 2 Blu Ray players) were all very problematic. NOTHING ever worked right.

Yes the Samsung Kies program is shit.   Go over to XDA-developers.com   find the Captivate section and use Odin to put a rom on it from Designgears ( whatever he has out is good )  and be done with the crappy bloatware that Samsung is forced to put on your phone by ATT.  Hell you'll even end up with Gingerbread.

While Kies may suck really bad ( it the consumer software ),   ODIN ( the developer software ) is really good,  just follow the instruction step by step and you'll be up in no time.

I was pretty happy with the Samsung Alias that I replaced with my Droid Eris.

I've been using a syncmaster 226bw for the past 3 years or so.  

I expect the power supply will eventually fall victim to the shoddy capacitor problem, but that's a 3 or 4 dollar fix in parts.

OP what are you doing on Froyo, shouldnt you be updating to Gingerbread?

FWIW I have a Samsung plasma tv and I have yet to have any issues with it and it looks great.  Maybe I got one of the good ones.  I also have an old Samsung flip phone and that thing worked great for what it was.

My Samsung 46" TV has been awesome for a little over 2 years ..................  until the capacitors in my power supply took a dump too. Luckily I bought the extended warranty so the $256 bill was reimbursed. Otherwise I would be ranting like the OP
