For anyone that is on the fence about making the jump, it is nice. Sprint invited me to try it out early and have been using it for a few weeks now. Nice that I can keep this number forever no matter what provider I might end up going to. The integration with Sprint is pretty seamless. Love the fact that you can setup individual voice mail greetings for groups and people. Also, love the fact that you can listen to someone leaving a message and jump into the call if you need to.
[EVO 4G General] MCL1981:
Has anyone here with plan discounts successfully called sprint to have this changed without screwing up your life?
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
I haven't called. I'm pretty sure if I was lucky enough to find somebody at Sprint that knows what the hell google voice is, something would go south when it came to applying my discount back.
[EVO 4G General] MCL1981:
I just did this over chat. They will tell you that putting the discount back on the plan will require a new 2 yr contract. Don't buy it. Tell them you are doing this because it is a glitch in their system and thats a bunch of bull****. They agreed and put a note on my account so when i reapply the discount, it won't create a contract extension.

Now my question is this.... If I port GV to my phone, what happens to my old sprint number? It stays active, because it will still be used to send MMS messages. So does that mean if someone calls my sprint number, it will still ring?
[EVO 4G General] AdamHart612:
Thats awesome you had good luck like that...I would be willing to try if I had any confidence at all that its not gonna FML. Unfortunately I don't.

I was at a Sprint corporate store a few days ago asking when Google Voice+Sprint integration would be live, and the freaking manager proceeded to explain how Google Voice is available on the Android AppStore (yeah, not market) and that he could help set up voice mail through it if I wanted. Explaining got me nowhere. Helpful nice guy sure, but totally clueless.
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
Tons of problems for everyone, I guess. Sprint, like usual, doesn't seem to care and is just pushing everything off on Google.

I've got it working nicely with mine. The problems appear to be the reps that don't know whats going on and click the wrong button when you make changes to your account or try to undo it. Which I have no intention of doing.

Question, everytime someone calls me and I answer it, it prompts me to press 1 to accept, is there anyway to turn that off?

Turn off call screening via the web.
[EVO 4G General] BigBadBuddy:
Just activated today

I just activated GV/Sprint integration today. It works great, I wasn't using my GV number much at all, so I didn't care about losing it. I'm going to try it out a while and see how it works. I like being able to answer text messages on my Sprint number from GV on the PC. Based on all the hype, I guess I won't be changing my plan on Sprint until they figure out the integration issues.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GLOBAL:
I have my atrix about a month ago.i already upgrade to 183.root also,2 days ago i buy optimus 2x,i'm very disapointed when i compare atrix lcd and optimus lcd,atrix lcd look so bad in picture quality.not so smooth like optimus,i think both atrix and optimus used same type lcd TFT CAPACITIVE LCD 16M colours,but why atrix lcd look so bad,can anybody give me some explanation?or maybe soft modif that can make my atrix lcd have same quality like my optimus,thx
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blunted09:
i have had both screens in front of me and i honestly cant understand where you are coming from. If you want the synthetic look samsung and lg would probably be your best choise. I like the natural look this phone has. Best screen i have ever had. Turn up that brightness ( the battery can definitely handle it) and you will see this screen shine. Not to down the lg or samsung, but they feel somewhat cartoony to me. Try the birghtness.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] link12245:
Looking at our phones in the store, the Atrix seems to out bright all the others without looking washed out. I do prefer the SAMOLED, but for battery sake, it's worth it to have the pentile qhd screen.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GLOBAL:
I look at www.gsmarena.com.both atrix and optimus use colored lcd TFT 16M.but in result,optimus has better quality picture.so what i'm talking about here is the same type of TFT LCD.THX
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krad54:
There are multiple types of tft displays, tft is almost a category of displays. The atrix uses a pentile matrix type of tft, and the optimistic has an ips display, which is at a resolution of 800x400, while the atrix is at 960x540. I prefer the higher resolution of the atrix to the brightness of the optimus. And I'm pretty sure there's no way to tweak the atrix to look like the optimus.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultrachilled:
I already read all kinds of guides to unbrick the Galaxy S but none of them worked.

First, the patient:

Samsung Galaxy S International Version, factory free. Froyo 2.2.1 (I don't know if it is related with this problem, but 2 or 3 weeks ago I updated from Froyo 2.2 to 2.2.1)

Now the symptoms:

Two days ago, several settings changed to default, and even though it looked weird I didn't worry.

Yesterday, when I went into the Android Market web, a message appeared, saying that I didn't have any phone registered in my account. I thought it was a phone problem (and boy, it was!) so I restarted it. It didn't. It shows the Samsung logo with the model, then the Galaxy S animation and that's it! a minute later the screen goes black and vibrates randomly, every 2 minutes or so.

The 'treatment':

I already had a problem like this in the past, but then it was really my fault. After desperately looking for the solution, I managed to do a hard reset by using the 'adb reboot recovery' command, because the 3 button combo didn't work. This time I used the combo, just in case, and it worked! but before showing me the recovery options some weird message about installing some csc stuff appeared. When the recovery menu appeared, I thought that the phone was OK, so I rebooted it without doing anything else (I should have done the factory reset, right!? but I didn't want to lose anything :S). Big mistake: the problem continues, and now the 3 button combo doesn't work!

The 'adb reboot recovery' command doesn't work either. When I use it, this message appears:

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

* daemon started successfully *

error: device not found

I have already done *almost* everything I found in the forums. The only thing I haven't tried is the USB jig method.

I should mention that I've never used Odin, or downloaded a custom ROM or anything like that. When I had Froyo 2.2 I rooted the phone but with the update it was gone. And that's it! no lagfixes, no custom ROMs, no nothing!

Can somebody help me?

PD: Sorry for my English, I am Peruvian :D.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
I suggest that you flash back to stock Froyo 2.2 via Odin with pit 512 and repartition checked .

Does it really work?

Is it the only thing to do?

Besides, I have no electronic skills...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DMD9:
Had a similar problem with mine, went from 2.1 to 2.2 on a factory unlocked phone and wound up in the same position you are in, first the pics in gallery started doubling up, then problem with market. 3 button combo no longer worked. Was pretty new to xda and sgs so didn't try adb. What I did do was bring it to my local vodafone shop, and even though it wasn't bought from them, they sent it off. Got it back within 4 days, free of charge, and the maintenance report stated that they had replaced a faulty display module, and upgraded it to 2.2.1, which wasn't available here at the time. (Doesn't make sense to me, but it must have been a hardware fail of some sort) but it got fixed, fast and for free.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khalid Ali:
Yes it works, I used it. Now I have stashed my home made electric component at a very safe place as I know while working with hacks I am going to need it again.

You literally don't need much electronic skills. What you need is a Micro USB cable (buy the cheapest one that u can find if u have to buy).

Buy a 301K resistor (if not available then get as many to bring total to 301k, I bought 3 300K and 1 1K to make a total to 301K).

There are tutorials with pictures on this site, search and u will find them.

One last thing don't worry at all up to this moment your phone is fine. Once you have your JIG ready, post a message or I am sure some one will guide you through or PM me I most certainly will as I know exactly how frustrated you might be right now.

Cheers

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultrachilled:
A friend of mine bought this phone for me in Spain and sent it to me, and here in Peru only Movistar has this kind of phones. I'll take it to them, but something tells me that their won't be as good as Vodafone's.

Thankfully, the only thing I am sure is that my phone is fine... It's very hard for a Galaxy S to completely go FUBAR (unbrickable, I heard). But I'm really frustrated, not only with this problem, but with the RFS lag. I watch some friends' android phones (LG Optimus One, for example) go really smoothly while mine sometimes goes choppy, and it makes me envious :) Actually, the first time I f*cked with my phone was when I tried to use OCLF. The only thing left was to resign myself.

I expect to make my jig tomorrow, even though I have a very unsteady hand :confused:

I tried to get the phone in download mode and recovery mode with the 3 button combo, and nothing happened. As I wrote before, I could get the phone in recovery mode once, but now I can't. I should have done the hard reset then, damn it!

And about Odin, I heard that I can brick my phone with it if I do something wrong, so I never used it (I don't want an expensive paperweight :p).

About your question, a USB jig is a 'device' (so to speak) that one can manually make with a mini USB connector and a 301k resistor, as you can see in a previous comment. It's supposed to make the SGS go into download mode when you connect it to the phone.

Acerca de escribir las cosas en ingles, pues creo que asi nos entiende mas gente, jejeje.

PD: Is it true that flashing a ROM, even a stock one (stock froyo, for example), voids the warranty?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultrachilled:
Let's say I use the jig. What should I do after that? right now my PC doesn't recognize my phone, it says there's no phone connected :S. When I get it in download mode, will my PC be able to recognize it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khalid Ali:
Yes it should as I had the similar issue, Get the JIG working (when JIG works, ur phone will be in download mode) then using odin load the stock rom on your phone, first time after the load of ROM it will take several minutes to reboot so dont panic.

If you dont want to loose much of your data then make sure you DON'T click on repartition check box.

Send me a pm once u have jig working

boot into recovery and do a factory reset.

then move onto what ever rom you want :D

Very user friendly instructions, meant for recovery purposes. After we get the phone booting and working again we can worry about trying a new ROM or Gingerbread.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultrachilled:
I will continue the story where I left it.

I took the phone to customer service, and they managed to install an incorrect ROM, (my phone is I9000, they put a ROM for the I9000B) and they send it back to me, saying that my phone couldn't boot, so it should be a BIOS error. At least it goes into download mode. I want to flash stock Froyo 2.2 or 2.2.1. I have no idea how to do it, so please be very simple in your responses :$

PD: Once I get my phone working I'd like to try some other ROMs, I am really tired of the lag.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
re partitioning, repartitions the file system, along with flashing a new ROM with all 3 files, this restores the phone to a 'new like' state, as if it was out the box.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike34341:
I just got a used N1 and am using it on TMO as an upgrade from a MyTouch 3G. It was sold as being fully stock (no root, no unlocked bootloader, but I don't know how to verify that), and it is the holiday model (with the QR code on the back)

When I booted it up, it came to the main launcher (it didn't take me through the setup wizard). It looks like the last user did a full wipe (maybe not, because I thoguht that would make the setup wizard popup if they did). It was running 2.2.1 (I think) and had an update for 2.2.2 immediately ready to install. So, I let it install the update, which went smoothly and it's now running 2.2.2, with baseband 32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.12_7 and kernel 2.6.32.9-27240-gbca5320android-build apa26 #1.

I have been patiently waiting for my gingerbread update, and it has not arrived. I figured since 2.3.4 was rolling out, they stopped 2.3.3 updates and that was why I didn't get it. Now that 2.3.4 has rolled out, I still haven't got any updates, even after doing a checkin.

Does anyone have any ideas why I am being forgotten, and how I can go about updating my phone? I will not root or unlock the bootloader - I'm keeping this thing 100% stock and not willing to take any risks with it.

Thanks in advance,

Mike

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike34341:
OK, thanks. So it might be normal that I haven't gotten 2.2.3, let alone 2.3.3 yet? From what I've been seeing in other threads, the OTA update being pushed out now is from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4, so that wouldn't work directly from 2.2.2
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rod3:
You can always do a manual update and not have to wait for the OTA. Just download the corresponding files and rename it to "update.zip" and place on your SD card. Boot into recovery and apply update.zip. You remain 100% stock, but no wait.

And no, you need to go to 2.2 before going to 2.3.3 before going to 2.3.4. The OTA's are generally incremental updates.
