[Vibrant General] XPLANE9:
Ok, so I recently negotiated an offer to trade a mytouch 4g for my mint condition Vibrant. The problem is, the mytouch has some scratches on the sides, which will definitely bother my OCD; also, I will not be getting T-Mobile warranty with the Mytouch as I will with my Vibrant. So should I do this straight trade, or will I be regretting it. My main concern is is the Mytouch 4g any faster than a modded Vibrant?

I have done search but each one compares stock to stock.
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
They said MT4G is good because of CM7.
[Vibrant General] VeryCoolAlan:
Its about the same. The vibrant has a better gpu and screen and bigger screeen that's about it
[Vibrant General] splat matt:
I had a vibrant then got a mt4g and now I have a vibrant again. If you go with the mytouch 4g make sure you get the type 2 sony screen.

Personally I like vibrant more - 3.8" screen was too small for me.
[Vibrant General] inconceeeivable:
One other thing to consider is UI. I haven't used the MT4G, but I have used both a MT3G Slide and an HD2 running a MT4G port. No offense to Samsung fans, but TouchWiz is pure rubbish in comparison IMO.

I'd definitely trade my Vibrant for one. As others have said though, you'd probably lose some speed. As the post above mentioned, the bump down in screen size might hurt as well.
[Vibrant General] XPLANE9:
What about that 1.8 ghz overclock on the mytouch? I know that anything above 1.5 ghz overclock on that device will show no real performance gain.

I saw a mytouch 4g model at the T-Mobile store. I believed it had the sony screen which was pretty good. Too bad sense lagged like hell on it.

My other concern is how development on the Vibrant seems to be slowing down, while the Mytouch is going strong in terms of development. Even my Hd2 with the Expresso Sense port ran much much faster than it.

Perhaps I can get lucky and snatch one of those Galaxy S Plus metal back covers for my Vibrant, and completely forget about the slick, but a bit cheap looking, plastic.
[Vibrant General] inconceeeivable:
Which ROM did you use? I was likewise impressed with the speed...if the video camera had worked properly, I would've kept the HD2 and just used imilka's (I think it was his) ROM.
[Vibrant General] XPLANE9:
Motoman's port. It is based off the Iced Glacier custom rom I believe, which may explain the speed. I tried imilka's ram port but it didn't seem to be quite as fast.

I am now rocking DFT's WP7 though, can't wait for NoDo. /offtopic
[Vibrant General] jpcdeux:
Had a mytouch 4G. Be careful, they have wifi issues (Weak, complete fail) and the external speaker isnt the best. With cm7 the phone was fast as **** and it felt very solid! I LOVED the ffc more than I ever thought I would. I loved the phone but since it had wifi issues a friend wanted to trade for this Vibrant.

The Vibrant, well.... it has a slightly bigger screen.
[Vibrant General] Abu-7abash:
I was playing with my friend's mytouch 4g just today. And quite honestly i wasnt impressed at all, I wonder why the hell one would trade his vibrant for that!

Just have a look at the screen for crying out loud.
[Vibrant General] XPLANE9:
When you say fast as ****, is that faster than a cm7 vibrant? Or even faster than a hd2 running Android on ram. And yes, I mean ram. Some roms on the hd2 run directly off the ram instead of nand.
[Vibrant General] XPLANE9:
Decisions, decisions. Great, I just got an offer for a HD7 with an otterbox.

Though I am inclining to stay with the vibrant, see as if TW, EDT, and others continue to dev on the Vibrant.

[HTC Inspire 4G] draggindakota:
Is there any other indicator for water damage besides the one on the battery? My phone got wet. It was in a plastic baggie so it only got barely wet, but enough so that it's not working and the battery indicator is red. Thinking about using a friends battery and seeing if I can get it warrantied if that's the only visible indication.
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
I guess you can watch this video to see if there are indicators for water inside the phone. Not sure if the inspire 4g is exactly the same as far as location for the indicators. HTC Desire HD is essentially the same phone.

[HTC Inspire 4G] cavsoldier19d:
My phone took a swim with me in a pool when I got pushed in. I immediately took it out of my pocket and handed it off to a person standing by. They disasembled it had it sit out in the sun to dry. Unfortunately, it could not be saved. It must have short circuited as soon as it hit the water. Thankfully, I had insurance on it. When I called the 800 number to file a claim, I told then it sustained water damage. They never asked me to look at any indicators. They took my word for it and processed my claim. But it may be a different procedure for warranty.
[HTC Inspire 4G] draggindakota:
Thanks for that video link. I didn't see anything conspicuous that looked like an indicator. I guess I'll just have to try it and see.
[HTC Inspire 4G] draggindakota:
Well I powered the phone up yesterday after letting it sit in a bag of rice for 24 hours. It powered up and went to the CM7 boot animation but I saw that there was water under the screen so I pulled the battery. Letting it sit for a few more days in the rice, in my truck so it gets nice and toasty and hopefully the water will evaporate.
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
Try to avoid direct sunlight to the LCD screen for a long period of time. The suns UV rays can damage it over time. Just a heads up.. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] tjb433:
I have read in the past with iPhone's sustaining water damage that people would soak it in rubbing alcohol to remove water, and replace the battery, and have it working fine, not sure on the credibility of this but maybe something you should look into?

Also, a few years ago I had an LG flip phone that was in my pocket during an unplanned swim(got pushed in by a drunk friend who thought I had changed) the phone was dead for a long time, but about a month later it booted up fine and worked perfectly for another year, after a year the only remnants of water damage was a speaker that was starting to blow
[HTC Inspire 4G] ekahan1:
Drop of bleach on Q-tip will fix red indicators.
[HTC Inspire 4G] buddy17:
lol while i don't condone things like this, it sort of made me laugh. nice workaround i guess! :p
[HTC Inspire 4G] Roland_D:
Well you shouldn't condone the whole thread then... The very purpose of it is to get the phone warrantied even though it's been gotten wet... :p
[HTC Inspire 4G] buddy17:
touche lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] draggindakota:
Yeah I've made that mistake before :mad:

If it doesn't dry out I may try that. Makes me miss my old Nextel phone though. I dropped that thing in a flag pond twice and it never missed a beat lol.

:D Good to know!
[HTC Inspire 4G] mod777:
I know this is old but I had to find the liquid damage indicator for an Inspire today.

To find the indicator on the Inspire you must remove the bottom panel where your SD and Sim are located. Then under the FC and Bluetooth logo and under the plastic there is a square -- that square is the liquid damage indicator.

Unfortunetly you can not bleach it without removing the void stickers and using a mini star hex screwdriver and taking the phone apart.

If this helps thank me please
[HTC Inspire 4G] 1chris89:
I suppose no one would know if taking the back off the atrix would void it's warranty? I don't see any warranty void stickers on any screws. Hopefully there isn't screws under the sticker under the battery.

By the way the bleach doesn't seem to work at all on these new phones. Unless I'm doing something wrong? I don't condone this either just a thought.. any feedback?

I put about 10 drops in total after each drop sitting in the sun drying for 10 minutes each time. Didn't change it at all.
[G Tablet General] cgrucelski:
Hey, all.

What does the internal reset button actually do? I was expecting it to reset to factory settings, but fortunately for me it didn't do this. I'm actually happy it didn't, as it means I didn't lose any of the customizations I had done or applications I had installed.

I just cracked open the case on my gTablet and pressed what I assumed to be the reset button, a tiny little white switch in the center of the unit. After pressing and holding it for about 3 seconds, the tablet immediately powered back on and returned to its previous state. Everything appears to be functioning perfectly normally and exactly as it was before.

What does the reset button actually do? Do I need to worry about battery meter not being accurate or any other weird side effects? I only mention that because the battery gauge is showing 100%, but the external red charge light is still on.

I'm not sure what prompted it, but earlier today, my gTablet went blank and wouldn't turn back on at all. My son had been playing Angry Birds for an hour or so and I had been using it heavily showing it off to my in-laws, so I thought perhaps the battery had simply gone dead. I had not plugged in the charger the night before, so it seemed to be a reasonable explanation.

I plugged the charger in and the external red light was visible, so I let it charge for a little while, then tried turning back on. I could press any number of different key combinations (power & vol+, power & vol-, holding button for long time followed by short press, etc.) but I got nothing but a black screen. There was no indication whatsoever that anything was happening.

I was assuming something had gone quite awry, but didn't panic. My wife was not quite so calm, but I reassured her that I would be able to find the answer on the XDA forums. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this great community, by the way!

First, I tried plugging in the USB cable to my Windows 7 laptop and heard the distinctive 'bing-bing,' notifying me that hardware was recognized, so I knew it wasn't dead. But, it didn't show up anywhere, so I checked the Device Manager. Interestingly, there was no yellow exclamation mark anywhere, as I expected from reading some other posts about NVFlash. I finally found it listed under the 'Disk Drives' section as: 'NVIDIA Tegra 2 USB Device.'

I remembered reading about people experiencing problems with the unit going into APX mode, but I also remembered reading about the internal reset button on the gTablet. So, I figured before I attempted to use NVFlash, I would try the reset button first. Fortunately, these devices were designed well and the case was very easy to pop off.

By the way, I was running the stock ROM, but with the TNT 3588 Enhancement Pack (Gapps with nVidia Drivers) provided by edirector. I had also installed the z4root application. I used the default ROM for the first day, but was comfortable with the idea of flashing othe ROMs, as I've done it with my HTC Aria phone. I flashed roebeet's TNT Lite 4.40 and used that for several days before going back to the factory ROM with the enhancement pack.

Thanks in advance,

Calvin
[G Tablet General] butchconner:
Well,

I've been reading these forums since last November and I don't know of anyone who

has really reported on "pushing" the reset button before!!!

Usually when people crack the case to push the reset button or unplug the battery

for 10-15 seconds it is a situation where they can't get the machine to start and

literally have nothing to loose.

Sounds to me (in terms of 30+ year of different computers) that you did a hardware

reset and boot. I assume something was locked up inside and the reset key released

it to restart.

Glad for you!!!

Does anyone know why a win xp computer would recognize the debugging mode, I'm rooted and the one click root worked fine, but not recognize my phone when in download mode? I have the drivers installed and java sdk installed. Every time I go to download mode and plug in I get a pop up (on computer) that my device is malfunctioning and the device manager says unknown device.

All I see are instructions on how to use ADB or to use CWM to flash to the external SD. Is there a way to use CWM ready CM7 for the internal flash?
[Nook Color General] pmilford:
Hi,

If I understand your question, you would like to run CyanogenMOD7 off the

internal memory also called emmc, rather than running it off the external

memory or uSD card.

Though a bit dated, I found this walk-through to be very detailed:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=960542&page=16

Hope this is what you are looking for.

[Nook Color General] kruuth:
It is helpful, however I am looking for a CWM ready version....so far no luck.
[Nook Color General] pmilford:
Hi,

The instructions in:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=960542&page=16

Are assuming running from uSD version of CWM.

Following other CWM install instructions you can end up with CWM installed

on the internal flash, emmc.

For example:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=971197

Minor issue to watch for: the versions of CWM that support EXT4, required

for CM7 also require a different kernel.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by CWM ready version of CM7... the CM7

nightlies are in a .zip file that is flashed by CWM running off the EMMC boot

partition. The first time you install CM7 you also have to use CWM to

reformat some of the partitions on the EMMC (to ext4), but after that you can

use CWM to update the flash each time.

ROMManager can also be used to download ROMS and start CWM.

I am in 'updating' mode, I usually download a recent CM7 nightly and

recent overclock Kernel on PC, then share to Nook using Dropbox.

On Nook, I download .zips from Dropbox and move to root of the data

SD card. I also have latest Google apps (GAPPS) in Dropbox or SD card.

I then use ROMManager to run CWM to backup entire ROM.

Then I use ROMManager to boot into CWM and individually:

Install from .zip: nightlyxxx.zip (Current CM7 version)

Install from .zip GAPPSxxx.zip (Current google apps version)

Install from .zip kernelxxx.zip (Current OC kernel, overwrites the CM7 version)

Then I wipe cache partition.

Then finally wipe dalvik partition - CWM freezes here.

Reboot and wait a while (5 mins) (I assume it is rebuilding dalvik cache here)

Often seem to need another reboot and wait.

Hope this helps...

[Nook Color General] kruuth:
Thanks, that does clarify things. I'm new at this and do it was a little confusing to me how to do it. In the captivate forum they're a little more forward on how it's done. I appreciate the help. I tried using the rc4 encore signed but it seems to stop at the startup with N color on it. I thought I formatted all the partitions properly. Is there something I did wrong?
[Nook Color General] pmilford:
Hi,

I haven't had the problem of being stuck at 'N', but I'm sure there are plenty of

others that have... it will be something simple, probably missed one step in install.

Perhaps check through the list you followed and try and remember if you forgot

one step, or didn't understand one of the steps.

My install no longer shows the "N" at all when booting, so I'm guessing that

there is a missing piece somewhere!

I get:

"Touch the Future of Reading"

Brief flash of "Loading"

Few seconds of sideways "android..."

Then an animated CyanogenMOD logo for more seconds.

Here is one (long) thread about booting problems, but there are other ones too.

Speed Comparison

I have CM7 flashed to a class 4 sd card and it seems a little slow compared to the stock elcair build. Does CM7 installed to the internal memory speed things up a bit or does the system still seem a little slow. I'd like to know before I flash to my internal memory.
[Nook Color General] kruuth:
It should be faster on the internal, logically speaking, but perhaps with the right SD card you'll get comparable speed.

Hey Everyone,

I'm having the same issue with Gmail not syncing properly.

w/ Bell Mobility, rooted

The syncing icon is persistent in the status bar and nothing is happening. In the gmail app itself I will get proper unread message counts but the messages will not display. I have had to change my google password twice because it's getting "suspicious activity". I'm assuming this is being caused by the app. Everything was working fine up until a couple days ago.

I've tried clearing the cache and it will load it fine, once. After that same issue. I'm going to try clearing the cache and reinstalling the app to see if that makes a difference.

I've also tried disabling/enabled auto-sync and it hasn't made a difference either.

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

UPDATE:

-- removed gmail updates from the market **No change**

-- it's still retrieving new e-mails but the sync icon in the status bar stays the same.. I have no idea what's going on now.
