True. I weaseled out of my T-Mobile contract with no etf after just getting the mytouch 3g for $99 by moving out of the coverage area by 10 miles. They took a hit there lol. They wanted me to pay for the phone. I refused.
[EVO 4G General] bjb_nyj101:
I'm sorry OP, but your logic fails on this one.
[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
Your losing site of the thread there man this is a poll on sprints upgrade.

So no my logic does not fail in this so please keep things on track or your post will be deleted.

can i change the os to android instead of the brew os?
[Vibrant General] XPLANE9:
I have seen numerous HTC fans spew crap about Samsung for updates and build quality issues. For example, many state that the plastic build quality is of very low quality, of which is very opposite in reality in which in plastic is actually very solid. I have dropped my Vibrant many times and it still looks like new, can't say that about metal which dents and gets dinged. As for updates, blame your carriers. The international versions got updates several months before the carrier versions.

Here are some quotes from some obvious HTC users.

"Last year, Consumer Reports (a major U.S. publication) branded the U.S. Galaxy S versions as some of the best Android phones. Not only were they NOT the best, they were missing some basic functionality and lagged like a phone from a previous generation. Let's not even talk about lack of support from Samsung. Too many people fall for the SAMOLED eye candy and ignore everything else."

Or "Thank god I have some help.. hehe I honestly dunno why these SamSux people think S G II is pretty muhahua. It's one ugly plastic crap i've ever seen. They keep coming in HTC thread telling people to buy their plastic crap. "

Or "Another troll just childish, u will se Samsung will never have so awesome devs like HTC phones have especially when.I look at the desire section, a lot of them will buy a sensation and that's the reason why i will buy one to "

What do you think about the public conception of Samsung here at XDA?
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
The first quote is spot on. The lag was unbearable, the GPS inop, and support was nonexistent. Samoled was nice until you seen the jagged text. Battery life was also terrible. The phones are usable now, after 3-4 updates (updates that were bricking phones and frying storage, mind you) but the GPS is still borderline useless for lots of people and it still lags more than a Samsung jack wm6.5 device (by a long shot).

I they do better with the s2 good for them, but they are indefendable irt these phones. Hype can only get you so far...

Sent from my HD7 using Board Express
[Vibrant General] XPLANE9:
Way to read my first paragraph. Support was due to the carriers, not Samsung directly. And I still do not understand what this lag is, even on JFD I had installed 30 apps and still little to no lag for me.

And the jagged text? have both a HD7 and a HD2 with me no, and I see no difference worth speaking of between the screens. I do 20/20 vision.

Battery life terrible? Wait till you see the desire HD or thunderbolt. The GS2 has also been reported to have good battery life.

Have you even tried a custom rom N8ter? CM7 nevers lags, even when underclocked to 400 mhz. And as to that HTC phones work better out of the box statement, we are on XDA. Hell, many of those HTC fanboys wanted the Sensation due to the dev attention they believed it would get, even with a locked bootloader.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
I don't mod my phones and nor should anyone be expected to. The performance of the phone now is usable. Where was cyanogen in august to December 2010, though?

Don't answer that.

Bunch of excuses. What you quoted is true.

Text on a samoled panel is more jagged than on others. Its a side effect of the pen tile pixel arrangement used. Its very noticeable when you have white text on a black background - at least for me it is.

These panels also suffer from burnin more than any other screen type I've used.

Support from carriers does not help when the hardware is faulty (gps)'or the device has design flaw like rfs. Samsung can push out an update that replaces rfs. They choose not to. They should have recalled phones with known hw gps falls but.they just blamed it on the users andbgave them a useless tool to rwser some setting many of us never touched to begin with.

I read your whole post btw, bit I'm typing from devices so stop acting.like I'm obligated to comment on or rebut every tucking thing in it...
[Vibrant General] ColbyRyptos:
The way I see it is why would anyone buy an android and use it stock lol considering stock is garbage to custom roms. End of story
[Vibrant General] Gibsonusa:
This is the fourth vibrant I've had, gps was piss poor, and I was able to get new ones because of it. This newest handset has really good locks. I like the phone even after the gps problems. I bought an otter box and some ghost armor. With the case it feels solid. I know not everyone will get a case to make the phone feel built but it's nice. Id buy another samsung device no problem. I like the feel and ease of use.

[Vibrant General] bosslabs:
Fact: Despite samsung's delay in releasing froyo for the vibrant and it's GPS problems, the vibrant was/is still a greatr phone with an awesome display and great hardware!

Guys , am just wating for galaxy s 2 , rumour has it that it is going to be the best smart phone for a long time!!
[Vibrant General] midnite23:
I have to agree with N8ter. This will probably be my last Samsung device. I told myself from the start I'd never get another Samsung device, but it was all Asurion had to replace my water-damaged, but beloved N1. Ugh. I wish I had waited for them to get something else.

The lag KILLS me! I want to throw the damn phone against the wall or some concrete almost daily. Samsung could have definitely kept RFS to their damn selves. Even the browser lags on me most times.

I get a bunch of missed calls even when I have full coverage. The only way I'd even know I would miss them is if my girlfriend would text me to pick up my phone or check Google Voice for missed calls.

The GPS... yeah. Go back to the comment about me wanting to throw my phone against the hardest surface available, and multiply that by 100. The GPS has almost made me late for several appointments (job interviews, drug testing, etc.), and actually gotten me lost in my own native home of Atlanta. I don't get how the hell the GPS can possibly think I'm somewhere .5 miles away then where I am actually am.

I absolutely hate how it doesn't have an LED. NoLED does the job, but isn't really what I would call a suitable replacement.

I also hate how it looks like an iPhone. If I wanted an iPhone lookalike, I would have went out and bought an iPhone. I am really tired of people always asking me, "Is that an iPhone?"

I also despise TouchWiz. I despise manufacturer skins in general, but touchwiz REALLY grinds my gears.

One of the very few good redeeming qualities about this damn phone is the amount of internal storage, but which I barely make use of b/c of wanting to keep all of files stored on my external. I also like the dev tools they have, such as Odin. It's saved me a couple of times from bad flashing and just plain operator error. I also like how easy it was to install the front facing camera. But, then again, why the hell should I have to install it in the first place?

Overall, I am not a happy camper with Samsung. Once I start this new job, or get my financial aid refund check , it's definitely time for a new phone, and it sure as hell won't be Samsung. I was thinking about giving this phone to my girlfriend to replace her T-Mobile Tap, but I don't know if I want to torture her that much.

P.S. This is after using custom roms. God forbid how horrid my experience would have been on stock. I think I might have really thrown it in oncoming traffic.
[Vibrant General] driftkidd2323:
its obvious that you're stuck in your mindset, so why even start a thread? its useless. coming from an owner of both brands, each have pros and cons. my epic and inspire both have poor battery life. inspire is smooth while the epic lags. furthermore, my epic has better overall display, but the inspire looks better picture wise, not contrast or color, quality. my point is, phones appeal to one person or another. no need for a useless thread targeting one manufacturer.
[Vibrant General] VICosPhi:
Glad to see Samsung has learned their lesson, they have released sgs2 with unlocked boot loader and they just released sgs2 source as well :)

Thanks Samsung, I'll prefer you over htc and motorola
[Vibrant General] saarraz1:
I am quite satisfied with my vibrant coming from an HD2 NAND.

It is quite fast and has a much more pleasant desing than most other HTC phones.

Only problem is the HORRIBLE gps.
[Vibrant General] midnite23:
And you're a closed-minded Samsung fanboy so you can take your opinion and go eat shi* for all I care. Most of my complaints might have been stated already, but clearly the more times it's stated proves it's not just isolated incidents. I'm not basing my phone off of any loyalty. I'm basing it off of the fact that it frustrates the hell out of me. And I assure you it's not user error. I've been dealing with computers and electronics and modding etc since I was 7 and am a computer science major, so I assure you it's not user error. Every single one of those problems has persisted since I used a custom rom, and who the hell are you to tell me I shouldn't own an Android device? I know all about custom roms and have been using them since I got my first smartphone, the HTC wizard. If you think Samsung is better than HTC, that's fine. We're all entitled to our opinion. I, however, could care less about another Samsung phone ever again. I really regret the day my Nexus One fell in that pot of water.

And you call me a fanboy. Yeah. Ok. At least I'm willing to admit this phone does have some pros.
[Vibrant General] Dan_Brutal:
I like the sgs line. Sure, there not the best out there, but as a rom chef and themer, I can honestly say this this phone is the best for that. Almost unbrickable. Don't forget, with HTC and moto(dont quote me on moto), they don't have Odin. That is a HUGE selling point for me. I would be pissed if I spent $x on a HTC phone, and had a bad flash. Now its a door stop. Just my .2.
[Vibrant General] midnite23:
Lol. Quite frankly I don't give a damn WHAT you believe. I don't have to prove myself to some anonymous person on the internet. You can eat **** and die for all I care. I know it's not user error. Even if I don't have the know how to go in and fix Samsung's mistakes myself, yet, I know how to read carefully and apply others' fixes. So go troll someone else. Like I said, it's your OPINION that Samsung is the better company, and that's fine. But, as for myself, I know I won't be giving Samsung another chance.

Good day to you.

I have seen Plastic = poor build quality in US mostly.
[Vibrant General] boystuff:
it's a loyalty thing, you know the last HTC device i owned was actually an I-Mate. still to this day I remember how damn awesome that thing was. swivel screen, Large Keyboard, solid PLASTIC construction, stereo speakers, 3.5 jack. etc. OS blew, think it was windows mobile umm 5? i know i ran 6.5 on it before i upgraded.

this phone was a beast. and the last HTC built device i ever owned as i switched to nokia and sony Ericsson smart phone devices, somehow i ended up with a samsung i900 Omnia (gsm) and have stuck with samsung since.

Pretty cool ! I like how it supported 3g video calling in 2005 :D I had a Nokia 6630 then :D
[Vibrant General] hazard99:
To each their own.

I am commited to buying a usa sgs2. Why with the terrible support we've had? I truely think that samsung has learned their lesson. Releasing the source so soon after the phones launch is amazing. I have also read just about every review and watched every video. Its exactly the experience I want.

Even with all the problems of the sgs... I still love it. The reason why I know I love it is cause I am currently using a mytouch 4g. Its great that I can overclock it to 1.5ghz. Frankly I am really starting to miss my vibrant. I Love that phone. With its ****ty gps and its laggy ass stock ui and its horrible support. I am after all A tinker at heart!
[Vibrant General] midnite23:
I don't have time to argue with a close-minded idiot. If you can't accept other people have opinions different from yours, then that's your problem. Now, I said good day.

[Android Software Development] jdkoren:
Hi all, I'm just starting getting into App development and I want to attach the Android source code into Eclipse so that I can reference it locally. Is there anyone here who has experience doing this on Windows who is willing to walk me through it?

Alternatively, I'll go it on my own if someone could help me get past this one roadblock. Thus far I've installed Python and msysGit (and updated my PATH variable accordingly) so that I can use git and repo. Something isn't working however and repo runs into an error that I can't seem to figure out. I'm contemplating uninstalling all that and starting from scratch with Cygwin.
[Android Software Development] kyouko:
Here's a tutorial on setting up Eclipse on windows (albeit over a year old so no guarantees) link

personally I would dual boot linux... it was a breeze setting it up and there's plenty of tutorials for that.

You could install ubuntu (i think) side by side with win7 using wubi, as if it were a program or something. That way you're not messing with partitions.
[Android Software Development] jdkoren:
I already have Eclipse set up. This is not the problem. I'm having trouble downloading the Android source code - NOT the SDK - on my Windows PC. Specifically, I always run into errors when I try to use "repo init -u blah blah" as instructed on the android source page. If someone has successfully done this on Windows, I'd like someone to give me some guidance, because either I'm doing something wrong or my setup is not correct.

Right now I'm trying to use Cygwin (basically creates a linux environment inside Windows). The last time I tried using repo, I got this:

EDIT: Code removed. I found a solution, outlined below, for anyone else who wants to get the Android source into Eclipse.
[Android Software Development] jdkoren:
Okay, I got the source code, it was actually pretty easy to do, and I didn't even need repo to do it :D. For those who may find this useful, here's how.

0. It is assumed you have already installed both Eclipse and the Android SDK. If you don't have those yet, download them and set those up. If you aren't on Windows but still want to know how to get the source and import it into Eclipse, you can skip step 1.

1. Install Cygwin on your computer. During the installation, you will be presented with a package explorer and you can choose specific packages to install. Choose whatever you like, but make sure to include automake, bison, curl, flex, gcc, git, gnupg, python, zip, and an editor of your choice, like nano or vim (you can use the search field at the top to find these quickly).

This will basically give you a Linux shell on Windows whose root directory is something you've designated, like C:\cygwin.

2. A few more things to set up. Fire up Cygwin and make a bin folder in your home directory. Add this directory to your PATH variable, then cd into it.

mkdir ~/bin
PATH=~/bin:$PATH
cd bin

This blog post has code for a python script that will be used later. Make a new file using an editor of your choice. Copy the code and save the file as anything you want (I named it "pack.py"). When you're done, cd back to your home directory.

3. Downloading source. From your home directory (or a subdirectory if you wish), use git to clone the platform frameworks base into a new directory (here I've called it "android").

git clone http://android.git.kernel.org/platform/frameworks/base.git android

cd into that directory and examine the git tags.

cd android
git tag

You'll get a list of tags. Choose the one that matches the API level you want to build your project(s) in. I'm using API level 10, so I chose android-2.3.3_r1. That's what you're going to check out.

git checkout android-2.3.3_r1

4. Reorganizing the source code. You need to locate all the java source files and restructure everything into a directory structure that matches the package naming. Fortunately, that script from earlier does exactly this and then zips it up into a nice little package for you called "sources.zip".

python ~/bin/pack.py

5. Move this zip file to the proper SDK platform folder. Since I downloaded sources for API level 10, I want to move this zip file to

C:\android-sdk-windows\platforms\android-[B]10[/B]

You can do this with your regular old file explorer on Windows. Extract the contents into a subfolder named "sources".

6. Get Eclipse to recognize them. Open up a project (or start a new one) whose target is the API level you just did all that stuff for. In the package explorer, right-click the project root and click "Refresh". Now when you browse the class files under project-root/android 2.3.3/android.jar/whatever, you'll see actual source code instead of that nasty "Source not found" page.

Enjoy ^_^

Just installed gingerblur 3.1. Anyone find the keyboard a bit squished? I'm finding myself hitting a bit low on the spacebar. If I find I can't get used to it, is there a way to restore the old one?

I'm talking about while in landscape mode too by the way. Portrait mode seems better than stock
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meet2x4:
I completely agree with you here man. Loving Gingerblur but not a huge fan of the keyboard, and tried the moto keyboard posted on the Gingerblur OP page but I can't stand swype. I think I might reflash the SBF and pull the stock libjni_latinime.so and LatinIME then reupgrade to Gingerblur and push them to the phone via ADB using the method in this post here.

Worked great to restore back to the original Gingerblur keyboard after I installed the swype keyboard.

Not that they didn't want it posted on here. The dev that created that rom was banned due to differing philosophies between the forum managers and him. so now any of his work is not allowed on xda.
