[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] }{Alienz}{:
Good choice. If you value music, Vibrant is one of a VERY VERY small number of phones with an audiophile-grade sound chip (DAC) inside it. Pair that with 16GB internal memory, 16 or 32GB external MicroSD card, PowerAmp with full Equalizer music player, and it will be THE BEST music device you have ever heard or touched. Best PORTABLE music device that is.

Ipods, iphones, mp3 players, portable DACs...the Vibrant with voodoo sound and PowerAmp will make you laugh at other devices and their struggle to come close. Ofc, have a pair of decent headphones or a good system too.

Also, the screen on the Vibrant is everything you will EVER want in a screen.

As for how fast it is:

I'm currently pulling 2750-2800 Quadrants on my Vibrant. I'm not even on Gingerbread (which is still being optimized but when done, will pass the 3k mark is my guess). Phone is snappy, responsive, beautiful, and a pleasure to use.

Feel free to look at my signature as to what ROM and kernel I'm using as well as what my setup looks like.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djluis48:
Just bought the Vibrant! And the screen is...omg! Its preeetty nice. I love the screen! I love the phone too. Thanks for all your inputs guys! Im really liking my new phone!!

Now, next step to make it an even greater phone...rooting. :D

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iynfynity:
make sure your phone isn't hardware locked.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djluis48:
How? Also, wich you rom you guys recommend me to flash? :)

Im thinking in flashing Bionix-V to see how fast it is, then next up is Trigger.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djluis48:
Bump! Also, I have another question, wich kernel guys you think is the best one? Also, is there a way to test kernels faster than tryimg them out for a couple of hours? Thanks!!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XPLANE9:
If you want good battery life, go with Bali. if you want speed, go for the dragon modz kernel. Bullet is also a good alternative. You can find it at edtdev.com.

As for the second question, no, there is not an easy way to test the kernels. All phones are different so each kernel will react differently in terms of speed and battery life.

Welcome to the Vibrant community.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XPLANE9:
Stability wise go for trigger or bionix. If you want the best speed but don't care for battery life as much, CM7 is rather good.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bdgiese90:
As far as ROM, I've fallen in love with cm7. A little buggy, but I know the workarounds. PM me or search on here for that stuff. Beautiful and very customizable. Comes with adw for even more custom options.

Kernel, flash the one that the cm7 thread recommends (not initial, its under Additional Kernels) its fast, has decent battery, and it utilizes voodoo sound (once you dl voodoo control from the market. Its also an oc kernel if you want to explore that option.

Double twist music player with voodoo sound makes power amp hardly worth the money.

And if you do use cm7, when you flash categorically worthless (I guess it's recommended), you will probably bootloop. Use sgs kernel flasher to flash kernel, bootloop, power off, then follow instructions in thread. After you are done with that, go into recovery, flash Google add on to get market, uninstall sgs kernel flasher as it is not compatible with cm7 lol..(just easier to flash a cwm based kernel from the get go), once that's done, give your phone a break (10 min) then flash kernel in recovery (strange I know, but that's how it rolls)

Last step-enjoy! :D

PM me if you do go cm7 and kang voodoo kernel if you need help. I got it done having no experience, but hey, figured I'd offer :p

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bdgiese90:
oh and all of the links in my sig have flashable font packs. There are literally hundreds there to choose from, all of which do work (myself and a few other guys packed them up and tested them) so that is another option as well.

Not necessarily CM7 specific, but it only adds to the beauty :)

How does your gps work?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bdgiese90:
Location accurate to 100 feet. Found my location to be across the street which is fine by me. Didn't find GPS but had accurate directions. Still have yet to use in the car though. Not bad though!

Don't use it..ill test it out and edit the post.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bdgiese90:
Well flash it and try it out..results aren't typical but its worth a shot. I use cm7 with the oc voodoo kernel they recommend. Works for me!

I see a million theories, but it seems nobody is sure. Hasn't LG announced a patch for the europe 2x phones? Wouldn't that suggest a software glitch?

Question is: do I exchange my phone or wait for patch ? It doesn't happen very often...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
i'd wait. i've had winmo phones do the same thing going years back. my g1 would do it on occassion. mt4g has done it . but it usually gets fixed in rom updates or official ota.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] thephoneguyusa:
My bet it is a software glitch. I have gone through 4 of these and they all do it occasionally. Once we are graced with an official 2.3 update or rom it will clear up. My MT3G did it as well before it was updated.

Just wondering. You still need an OTG cable to connect camera/drive/other, right?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bauxite:
Yes, you can't get around physical wiring differences.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richpal:
USB cable for xoom

Surely you can use the USB cable that came with the xoom and attach a female to female adpator and run your camera cable from that. You dont really need to buy a specific OTG cable. Well I think that would work.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegeektern:
Nope is doesn't you need a otg cable. I tried it myself a few months ago, ended up buying 3 cables to get that worked.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sleeplessninja:
The wire that comes with your Xoom is wired differently than an OTG cable. The Xoom wire is a client wire. The OTG is a host.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DocteurN:
But with 3.1 + an OTG cable, can you use the USB Host function without this hack :http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/15979-hack-enable-usb-host-mode-ie-thumb-drives-on-the-xoom/ ?

You just plug your OTG cable and it works ?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3devious:
It seems there is still no way for a stock user to use a USB stick via the OTG cable because there is no app that recognizes it that way, Android still requires root to access the file system or both.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moshe22:
I have a big question that is been floating around in my mind.

We have CM7 which is based on ginngerbread and we got Eagle blood 1.03 which is gingerbread as well.

Why does it seems like eagle blood developers seems to develop way faster and have a more stable rom than CM7?

Is it because they had to port gingerbread to the G2x? If that its the case, wouldn't it be easier to grab the gingerbread leak and develop using that as the source?

eagle blood is from gingerbread leak and cyanogen isn't?

Also does it takes longer for CM7 to develop because they are adding more features to the ROM?

The reason I'm asking is because I had this questions and is nothing against CM7 directly at all, I just want to understand how they are doing it and see the benefits.

Thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
Eagle Blood is based on the existing gingerbread leak with added tweaks.

Cyanodenmod is build completely from the ground up using the AOSP source code. It has features not found in ROMs released by manufacturers.

It's like modding an engine vs building an engine.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moshe22:
That clears up some of my doubts.

So basically they are using a gingerbread AOSP from google?

And what are the advantages of doing it this way instead of just grabbing a leaked ROM and tweak it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] r4d14n7:
Once they get the device-specific stuff ironed out, feature updates can be added easily across multiple devices.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] r4d14n7:
For example, if you look at the CM7 changelog the unlabeled changes are to all GB devices and the entries labeled "p999" are changes specific to this device.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
Better performance. Manufactures ROMs often end up with bad coding which results in a device suffering from things such as bad battery life, lower performance, etc. Also with official ROMs you can't do much with it until they release the source code. And even then (at least with samsung) some things like driver source never get released which means the devs cant fully optimize the ROM. AOSP means full control over the ROM to make it do what you want it to do the way you want it to be done. It does take much longer to complete though which is why CM has nightly updates. Makes it easier to put out a nightly than to put out a whole new ROM for every bug they fix. I'm sure someone can explain this better than me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moshe22:
Oh good to know, thanks

Wow, this really answers my question as to why it takes them longer. Thanks

So it means that cyanogen even develop their own drivers?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MWBehr:
You mentioned that you feel eaglesblood is more stable than CM7. Is this from personal experience or from reading the forums? In my experience, CM7 as of around nightly #11 has every significant bug worked out.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] graffixnyc:
I must disagree. I LOVE CM 7 and ran build 11 and 13 and found it rather buggy right now. Sometimes the touch screen didn't recognize touches on the right side(I consider this a significant bug). When you call a number and have to punch in numbers (like a VM password or when dialing an extension) did not work for me(which I consider another significant bug). I also heard there are issues with it sticking APN settings(cant comment because I didnt really check that when I had cm 7 installed) I just dont think cm 7 is stable enough at the moment. Eagle Blood is running pretty well right now. I would say a lot better than cm 7 but that will change once CM gets the bugs worked out :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moshe22:
Yes, personal experience. Been running eb 1.02 and is been great.

I Just flashed CM7 #15 just to test it out and is buggy for me

-When i receive a call i don't get any sound from the ringer even though is not muted

-Sensors are like in auto brightness even though they are not

-The performance of the whole system isn't the best.

I am sure it will be the best ROM out there but as for now still only and nightly and is buggy
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dj75728:
One significant difference for me, which is due to the fact that Cyanogen has built their own rom with their different bluetooth stacks (as opposed to LG's custom ones), is that bluetooth controllers actually work with CM7. Useful for using a wiimote on emulators through HDMI ;)

Just something to consider, no bluetooth controllers on EB.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EmceeGeek:
Right, and not only that, cyanogen has many different phones he and his dev team have to work on.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Build #16 is out today and supposedly the TouchTones in the dialer and the backlight is fixed (thank god!)

But yes. Cyanogen builds their own kernel and drivers, which is why it usually is more compatible with stuff like WiiMotes and stuff. But once they get the Kernel working properly (which they are doing now) it is just a matter of updating the core OS then it can be pushed to all devices pretty seamlessly (I guess).

There are lots of benefits of using CM over standard stock Gingerbread. For one, Stock is 2.3.3 where CM7 is 2.3.4 so it supports lots of Googles new apps like Video in Google Talk and the new Cloud Music player.

Also there are tons of tweaks like Notification menu toggles, System Themes, Sound Profiles, Black-List calling, Several Lockscreen types and Widgets with Gesture support, etc the list goes on and on.

Between the Notification Toggles and Themes which you can install from the market, I'm hooked.

Plus it is the only Gingerbread rom that doesn't cause my phone to lockup/reset/Black Screen of Death/whateveryoucallit
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Suprah:
It has tons of bugs like inaccurate battery readings
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jdaclutch:
my concern is that is the g2x able to do 1080p video recording and high resolution picture like the stock rom? THis is the only reson why I'm still sticking with the stock rom.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mapin0518:
u must be high
[T-Mobile LG G2x] r4d14n7:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] moshe22:
Yeah, i take alot of pictures and videos too
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tg9413:
Title pretty much said it. Out of careless mistake I flashed 3 button fix stock jf6 rom over a gb rom. Hard bricked. On Odin it said the flashed is completed with no error, and success. So just wondering if there is any trace left in the phone AT&T or samsung could trace it down to fire a back charge on me? Or anyone that warranty their phone for the same reason had heard anything from AT&T. Thanks in advance.

P.S I do have some custom rom and kernels zips on the buildin flash. Is it against privacy for AT&T or samsung to check those stuff if they do manage to bring the phone back to alive?

Anyone know what the speaker should be? 4ohm? 8ohm? watt? anything?:rolleyes:

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] garbz:
6mW According to the all in one chip specs, I'm not sure if there's an interposing amplifier. The chip has a separate speaker driver that is 2W for the rear unit.

In short, speakers are not recommended. I tried attaching a set of small laptop speakers to the headphone socket and at full volume it was distorted and very quiet.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] PhilPassmore:
I would expect that the only way to provide speaker level output would be to hook the jack to an external amplifier. This clearly works fine, as you can run an audio/video output from this jack to an external TV. Amplified laptop speakers, or one of the mp3 dock type things would be fine.

You are unlikely to damage anything internally by just connecting speakers, as despite the very much lower impedance than headphones, there is so little power being dissipated, I would expect the internal amplifier to not have any problems.

It matters not what the 'wattage' rating of the speakers you chose to connect is, as this is just a measure of the level of output the speaker can handle from an amplifier Despite the common misconception that more 'watts' marked on your speakers means more volume, this is NOT the case.

Hi everyone,

Been happily testing out my newly arrived sgs 2, everything working as they should...well, almost

Thing is, when I played some 1080p movies encoded with h.264, they played just fine, but I seem to never be able to jump through the movie, namely, the movie will only play from beginning to end, but no jumping in between...i think this is really weird, since it's working with all other movies with lower resolution... So I'd like to know if it's common, or only just me, and if the latter, how can I fix it. Thanks :)

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] oxeneers:
Here's a quick run through on how to root the Galaxy Tab 10.1. I'm doing this for people (like me) that had a tough time getting the USB drivers to work after getting their Tab at I/O.

Assuming you have adb and the SDK set up on your Win7 machine, proceed.

1. Download the new USB drivers at http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/c...78/Samsung_USB_Driver_P4_Including_Escape.exe

2. Reboot your machine

3. Plug the 10.1 Tab into USB

4. Download the root exploit at http://lts.cr/bqf (or use allidoiswin.zip somewhere else)

5. Then, open up a command prompt ("cmd" under Run...)

6. Run the following commands:

adb push Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10.1_root.zip /sdcard/Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10.1_root.zip

adb reboot recovery

7. Once you're in recovery, select the zip file, then apply, then reboot.

:)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] keyl10:
I was under the impression that the Galaxy Tab 10.1 devices at I/O did not have an SD card. How is it being pushed to one?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] oxeneers:
Great question. Looks like Sammy and El Goog have set up the 32GB on board as the "sdcard". You can push stuff to the personal storage by sending things to /sdcard/.

What recovery are you booting into to get an option to flash the update? Not the factory one I suspect :)

I used the recovery to "execute" the zip file attached to the first post.

It seems to execute correctly, but... I'm not sure that it rooted the tab. In fact If I try the command su in the shell (adb shell) it does nothing... till a timeout expires...

any idea?

It's a free device. The mobile bands and SD slot would have been nice, but hey they gave us the 32gb version when 16gb would have been plenty IMO.

I don't see why you'd need an SD card slot to develop for it. I've been writing just fine without it :P

Thanks to the people that got it rooted and such already. I never even bothered checking because I (stupidly) doubted anyone there would have bothered yet, but I decided to today to get rid of the crap loaded on. I wish it was just a basic image, but, again -- not complaining.
