I can get 3G in other areas, but not here, which leads me to believe it's just a 850 MHz band.

I can take out the SIM and put it in an iPhone and it picks up 3G just fine, whereas the vibrant is stuck on edge. It's frustrating to keep having to reboot the phone to pop out the SIM :P
[Vibrant General] smashpunks:
Its got to be unlocked doesn't it to work on att 3g network don't it?
[Vibrant General] kmdub:
Here we go again...

Here we go again. If you are referring to the T-Mobile USA Vibrant, it does not have support for 850Mhz UMTS bands. Period. The FCC says so. That is pretty definitive as far as I am concerned. It does not matter what some piece of software shows you. The hardware is not capable as it sits in the T-Mobile USA Vibrant. Search the FCC database for the Vibrant. GSM 850Mhz ≠ UMTS 850Mhz.
[Vibrant General] inconceeeivable:
Pretty sure it's just 1900MHz. The FCC documents would have included the 850MHz band if it was really there.

Edit: Lol, yeah what he said.
[Vibrant General] wearmaize:
Thanks for clearing it up :) now comes the dilemma of deciding whether to use the vibrant or an iPhone that uses the 3G speeds...
[Vibrant General] Adapt0r:
Tmobile Vibrant does have capability to operate on ATT 3G network.

I could get it working with iphone sim card.

Specification also includes ATT frequencies.

Att is using two frequencies for 3G.
[Vibrant General] jlg19753:
If it don't run on 3g then why does my vibrant have a 3g data icon and is blazing fast on it?
[Vibrant General] inconceeeivable:
It runs on 3G in areas where AT&T uses 1900MHz for 3G. It runs on Edge in areas where AT&T only uses 850MHz for 3G.
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
No. No it can't.

Jesus Christ. Is it really that hard to not respond when you clearly don't know what the hell you're talking about?
[Vibrant General] jlg19753:
Yes yes it can like I said I have a us vibrant and it switches between e witch is edge and 3g don't know how but it has a 3g icon that tells me that its on 3g if it not then why does it say 3g? And it is a beast on 3g on every once in a while it will have a H icon most of the time it SAYS 3G!!!!
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
because of this:

Precisely.

The Vibrant does not have 850mhz 3g support. Only AWS(1700)/PCS(1900)/IMT(2100) 3g support.
[Vibrant General] kmdub:
Wow...just wow. Seriously, the FCC does not generally lie about things like this. And no, I don't think it is a big conspiracy in this case...lol
[Vibrant General] inconceeeivable:
I'm not sure what this is about. Maybe it's just wishful thinking run amok...seems like most of these people either want to switch to AT&T or bought the phone intending to use it on AT&T, have since found out that it won't work in their area, and are refusing to ultimately admit to themselves that it won't work.

People like to think to themselves, "Well, maybe the FCC screwed up and I DO have a pentaband (or quadband?) 3G phone." The slightest bit of uncertainty encourages such thoughts...there are threads with jokers enabling the fake 850MHz menu selection and exclaiming, "OMG, I have AT&T 3G on 850MHz" when they already had it on 1900MHz. People who bother googling the question ahead of time will no doubt find some older, confusing threads.(Albeit they will hopefully find more and more threads with people like us saying "No, it's not in the FCC docs," etc.)

We should have a sticky or something about this lol.
[Vibrant General] wearmaize:
Yes, I googled it and found conflicting reports which is why I came here to clear it up.

Thanks again :)
[Vibrant General] oka1:
Yes I use it when I travel, got to use the code sgs tools has it or look for the test code thread. The only thing is you have to disable after you are done using cause you are forcing the phone to only look at that band.

BUT, it definitely Works !!
[Vibrant General] inconceeeivable:
Really don't think that option actually turns 850MHz band on. I've specifically turned every band other than 850MHz off and it connected to 3G. So I also figured it was working on 850MHz...but then I looked at my stats/connection info screen (forgot which one precisely), and it said 1900MHz, despite the fact that it the band was supposedly turned off. (Not to mention this was in an area with only 1900MHz 3G.)

Are you positively sure that you weren't in a dual 850MHz/1900MHz area?
[Vibrant General] Chalup:
Oy vey....
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
No, he's not positively sure. Because this has been tested ad infinitum. In fact, heygrl and I went into this way back around last July 20th - 5 days after the phone's release. And it was quite clear that the 850 "Support" is in device firmware only. There is no evidence that the radio actually supports that band. Not a lick.
[Vibrant General] طوني تبولة:
There are some ROMs ported from the I9000 that have Radio app included. However, that app cannot activate the radio or make it work.

The app you are referring to is not an official vibrant app.

1- 850MHz is not included as a supported 3G freq.

2- the app is not an official Vibrant application.

3- It didn't work.

4- SW cannot make the HW do things it is not capable of doing.

so the best option is to get yourself a captivate.
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
radio as in cellular radio. Not the radio app (which, indeed, also doesn't work)
[Vibrant General] fosormic:
I made it work on my phone. Worked in one band and not on the other but I didnt dig too muxh as had the sim a limited time. I posted the procedure along with speedtest results as screenshots (actual photographs).

I'll lookit up later from my desktop, but if you search my posts (there are not too many) you will find it.

[Vibrant General] طوني تبولة:
I think I suck in Analogy.

What I was trying to say is: having an app with specific funtionality doesn't mean it would work as it was supposed to work with the original device.

The radio app for I9000 can be installed on the Vibrant but it won't work.

Did I explain what I wanted to say very well? I'm not really sure.

Wait, what? We all know how to get ATT on our phones. It has 1900 out of the box. We're saying that there's no 850 WCDMA support. This has been discussed at length since well, well, well before your posts in December.

Is there anyway to get the 3.5mm RCA Video-Out cable working on the Epic 4g? I'm currently running Bonsai4all 4.0. I just bought the cable and I can only get the audio to play over the TV but no video.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Make sure the filename isn't sappimg.zip.zip (Deselect the "Hide known file extensions option in Folder View), if not then try formatting the SD card and moving the file over again. Also, make sure your not downloading the file directly to the SD card.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbtaf:
Is there any particular format to change the fingerprint? Or do I simply change it from what it states to something different? And I assume we are talking about the line ro.build.fingerprint= verizon...etc.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikon8:
When an update is available you can change the fingerprint to match the update's fingerprint so that it stops notifying you of the update. And yea, it's the ro.build.fingerprint= line.

Or ask someone with the .9 rom or something to upload their build.prop and steal that and hope you dont get an update nag message

When you plug your phone in via a usb cable, you will see a Verizon Mobile drive pop up on under "My Computer"

Then I go to my phone chose to connect as a disk drive (I have mine set to charge only by default).

Then I click on my removable disk and I can see my phone's data then.

[G Tablet General] crispyone:
There were a few apps I wanted on my new gtab that I couldn't seem to find on the market after flashing the latest VEGAN rom since google filters apps according whatever device you are using to view the market. It was kinda driving me nuts since I have a few on my phone I wanted on my gtab. Then I remembered Astro File Manager allows you to "backup" apps you have on your device. In my case I have a Droid X and I wanted Yahoo Messenger but the market on the gtab wouldn't show it. So I downloaded and installed it on my Droid X via the market. Went to astro file manager backup tool and chose yahoo messenger and the video plugin. Backed it up. Astro saves all backed up apps to a folder on your sd card called backup. From astro i send it to my dropbox which I sideloaded before hand on the gtab. It makes it easy to send the files to the gtab. I know there are sites with alot of the freeware from the market, but if your like me I don't trust sideloading my apps from some random website and much prefer getting mine from the app market to insure it is as safe as it can be. Then this is an easy option. It works on any rom stock or custom. You can also setup an ftp server if you don't want to use dropbox. The stock rom has the ability to access ftp sites with the stock files manager ES File Explorer. Needless to say I have yahoo messenger + video chat working great on the tab. Be aware some apps I have tried simply will not work on the gtab unfortunately. If anyone found this helpful let me know, and if anyone needs more detail or a step by step guide let me know and I will write one up.
