Remember too, almost all "new" Captivates' GPS work great for a few weeks. Post back in about a month and let us know how your new Captivate is working. Also, it seems as though the GPS will work great for a few weeks after loading a new ROM, then it goes bad again. Tells me there is s file the GPS must process avery time you turn it on. As the file grows in size, the GPS program can't process the file in a timely manner resulting in the interpretation of the GPS data being slow and off-course.
[Captivate General] Demonic240:
I'll do that. I like using my GPS for looking things up (don't use navigation that much since I don't do much traveling) but I'll definitely keep an eye on it and see how it handles aftera week or so and then after that.
[Captivate General] tg9413:
just got a 1007 replacement for the 1007 i have. The GPS works out of the box for stock froyo. it actually trasks every single turn and is able to catch up when i am driving 75-80 on the freeway. So ya... if anyone fail to get their gps working by software tweaks, you should go ahead and use the random shut down execuse to get a replacement phone. the 1007/8/9/... thing doesnt really matter i guess. The one I got works like a charm beside the sticker behind the battery look crappy without a SN number and the samsung logo.( oh well probably a refurb , but at least it works~)

It's like a gamble, but hey at least exchange it while u still can with warranty is better than hoping for a software fix that we are still not sure about if it's the real issue. Honestly it could be software for some people, but after u tried couple Roms and fixes, a bad gps is a bad gps.
[Captivate General] Picsman:
The "batch number" on my phone is 1008. The phone came with Eclair, of course. The GPS was poor at best. I updated the phone to Froyo. The GPS was not perceptibly different; still darn poor. I remember one miserable night where I was forced to find my destination using the Biblical System. The GPS never did lock during my one-hour ordeal.

For a totally unrelated reason, I ending up doing a master clear and reset. After I got everything reloaded I "tested" the GPS. Wow! It locked, well, instantly, or so it seemed.

An app available in the Market called GPS Status has two nice features. You can set it to automatically download the A-GPS file at start up. And, it reports on screen how long it takes to get it's first lock. With GPS Test (and others) you can see when the phone locks but GPS Status reports the time-to-lock information in seconds, no stopwatch or counting required.

Fascinated at the new-found capability of my Captivate, I have repeatedly checked how long it takes to get a lock. I would say, under widely varying conditions, the lock time is almost always less than 20 - 25 seconds.

YMMV but you might try a master clear and reset if you have a phone you undated from 2.1 to 2.2. Except for the time it takes to rebuild your phone, you have little to loose and you might find, as I did, the Captivate's GPS is excellent. Had I not "discovered" this "solution" I would have abandoned my Captivate--even though I think it's great phone overall--as I routinely depend upon my PDA's GPS capability.

FWIW, I do a lot of Geocaching so I have an understanding of how a GPS should perform. I had an AT&T Tilt which I'd made usable with a Sakajati HyperDragon IV ROM. The GPS in that phone was excellent. The first few days with the Captivate was a real downer. But, the now-functioning GPS makes the Capitvate a keeper.
[Captivate General] nhcaptivate:
For those not wanting to try getting a replacement. Plumbobs gps fix worked great for me. Check it out.
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
My Xoom locks on in 4 seconds, indoors, straight out of the box. This whole thing is stupid.
[Captivate General] Demonic240:
So I've been using my gps for a few days now and it's still working just as well when I got the replacement. IMO there may be 3 types of phones out there which is why we all get different results..

Captivate with working GPS right out of the box

Captivate with 'meh' GPS that is fixable with software tweaks

Captivate with GPS so bad that it doesn't work at all.

This could all be hardware related in just how the manufacturing process worked. Some could have just been bad apples.

Best thing to do... Do hotter anything funny with your phone. It is expensive and may spoil.
[HTC Inspire 4G] hiltun:
My Home,Menu,Back,Search keys do not vibrate anymore. They where working before I discharged my battery until my phone turned off. They turn off normally when my battery gets below 30%(Power Saver). But this time they have not come back on after charging my phone to 100% with the phone off. My phone vibrates when I type a text message or unlock my phone.

I have not restarted my phone yet because I'm trying to calibrate my battery. I did not charge it enough the first time.

Solved: By Restarted the phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] di11igaf:
The first logical thing to do would be to restart your phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] hiltun:
You're correct but I wanted to make sure there was not a unique setting for controlling the vibration of the Keys before I messed up my battery calibration.
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
In the sound settings there is a setting that says Vibrate Feedback.. see if its disabled.
[HTC Inspire 4G] hiltun:
Vibrate feedback under Feedback is Enabled. I even disabled it and then enabled it but it did not fit it.

Thank you for your help.

Will restarting my phone without fulling discharging the battery mess up the calibration process?
[HTC Inspire 4G] hiltun:
Please delete this post.
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
Did you figure it out?
[HTC Inspire 4G] hiltun:
I double posted.

I restarted my phone and and it fixed the problem.

I guess I'll just try and recalibrate the battery another time.
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
what method are you using to calibrate your battery?
[HTC Inspire 4G] hiltun:
Charged to 100%. Then Discharged it until the phone turns it self off then charged it over night while the phone is still off then turn it on in this morning. But I don't think I let it charge at 100% long enough.
[General Questions and Answers] vostdev:
I have read that the commercial applications shouldn't be post.

I wrote a simple open source application which implements the admob sdk. The app is in the market with ads but I had wrote it for a demonstration of the admob and for the purpose of writing a guide about application development.

So should I post it in the forum or not?

Does the applications with ads consider commercial?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yaz75:
Nothing. I'm not changing a thing until I see how the merger shakes out. I'll be damned if I'm going to drop a bunch of coin on a phone that might not run on the newer merged system and they shuffle the freqs.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grlddawkin:
some type of htc, after straying from the g1 i long for htc
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadpass:
Agreed, depends how the merger goes. Putting that aside I'm liking the lg optimus 2x, so if the t-mo version is good I'll consider that. At this point my vibrant does everything I want it to.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inconceeeivable:
How long do you keep phones? Are they really likely to shut down AWS 3G in the next four years?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yaz75:
I probably keep them longer than most. I'd say 18-24 months, sooner if I can grab a free or discounted upgrade.

And as far as how likely? Who knows. All I do know is that whatever 'news' leaks out about what or when they plan on doing anything, I don't believe it. I've been burned so many times in the past that I start at the opinion that I'm going to get screwed, and if it turns out to be something positive then that's a bonus. They say it'll be "x" amount of time before they change anything, but I've learned that they are almost always lying to some degree, mainly just to shut us up before they lower the hammer.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inconceeeivable:
True...I wouldn't put anything past AT&T.

At&t bands in the sgs 2

Vibrant - Bionix V
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdm4u:
Im looking into either the LG G2x or HTC Pyramid or both(family plan). I would consider the Galaxy s2 but i think they will change some things for t-mobile version, since it needs to add the frequency they might want to change some other things on the phone. As for the merger, they will still need to keep the bands the way they are until EVERYONE's t-mobile contract is up, and if they want to change them and upgrade customers phones to At&t phones, they have to be equivalent to the phones we had with t-mobile. Either way, i dont plan on staying with At&t if merger goes through, so if they pull any of that **** i have a right to just cancel with no termination fees and go on to another carrier. Plus i'll have 2 new phones to play with, even though they will more than likely not have any development going on, who knows. If verizon has some good phones, ill switch to that; the 4G LTE is looking pretty good. Sprint's 4G sucks in my area.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corradoswapt:
Ive been a long time samsung fanboi. in fact ive only owned one non samsung phone in the last 12 years. Im on my 6th sgs and have grown tired of this phone. t mobile owes me an upgrade so I was thinking about the g2X or the optimus 3d as a stopgap phone untill the sgsII comes out
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrsbelpit:
Agreed. I really wanted the SGS2, also :(

I'm jumping ship if T-Mobile is no longer T-Mobile, I will not be an ATT customer.

That's not the SGS 2, That's the canadian version of the SGS 4g.

the international SGS2 (which is not released yet) will run on ATT, so if you have no problem with ATT, that would be a nice phone to get

i usually keep my phones for 6-12 months just depends on how much i paid for it, im probably gona keep my vibrant until the summer or when i find out what happens with the at&t thing, i would rather have a ****ty old sprint phone than be with at&t
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zyrinx:
Silly little AT&T haters. I look forward to using your 4G in my area once the acquisition completes. However, I do admit that AT&Ts update and phone support is piss poor. T-Mobile has definitely stayed on a much more advanced level as far as development is concerned in relation to any of the companies out there. I want to believe that AT&T will attempt to keep up with it, but that's doubtful.

However, returning to the original topic, I've been using a Vibrant for awhile now, but I think, depending on how the phone looks and functions once it is released, that I might consider switching to a HTC Pyramid with T-Mobile right before the merger completes so that I can potentially pick up a nice plan and an awesome phone all at the same time and then just get grandfathered in.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yaz75:
I can say that my main hatred isn't the tech side of this merger, it's the $$ side. The plans and cost for those plans are just better on T-Mo than AT&T. Higher data limits for less money etc. That is my main complaint about being forced to switch down the road.

Sorry for the thread sidetrack. Please continue with the OP subject matter.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inconceeeivable:
I just swapped my HD2 for an HD7, so I'll probably stick with that for awhile. Will definitely be looking at the Pyramid closely though (depending on my financial situation at the time lol). Really like the looks of it so far.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jo3f1sh:
Either an SGSII or Pyramid. As easy as it was to root my Vibrant, I'll probably go SGSII. Pyramid specs look so tempting, though.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Big Dog KMc:
At&ts Customer Support and service is crap compared to T-Mobiles.

I had AT&T just before The Cingular buy out. Service was junk.

when Cingular took over the service and customer support vastly improved.

Then after re-signing up with cingular, AT&T bought out Cingular.

Well back to the crapy service and support again.

when that contract expired, I went to T-Mobile and everything was better than ever.

I resigned with T-Mobile and Look what Happend!!!

AT&T Took that one away from me as well...

When My contract is done, I will be moving to Sprint.

as of now sprint has an Unlimited plan with 3000 minutes which is cheaper than my even more plus I have now with T-Mobile.

We will see what is available in a year.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paticakeman:
At&t will have to change their plans up a little to match what tmo has currently I think.

Optimus one Handsfree

Here is what I use:

G-cube iP-1000BK

youtube dot com/watch?v=f67tPWXBZeg

The audio quality is very good and with deep bass. Also I cannot hear any of the background noise I used to with other normal headphones.

The handsfree is Iphone/Ipod compatible but it works flawlessly with the Optimus One/any notebook. In the package there is a 2.5 jack Nokia adaptor (specified limited function when hearing music and cannot stop or change the track as on Iphone).

The audio controls are as follows:

- volume up/down with designated volume button,

- play/pause with single click mic button,

-next song with double click mic button (only works with stock player, not with Rockit).

Another great thing is that in the package are 8 spare pair of ear-buds (not just 2 like other in-ear headphones).

The incall quality is not that great, but then again so is the original handsfree from LG.

I found that I have to take the mic unit and place it near my mouth when speaking with someone.

The only real downside is that these are designed for women.

I am assuming that this handsfree is made by A4tech or some OEM producer (beause it surely looks like a4tech products).

PS:I suggest you try Rockit player too.
