Yes, actually is does... it backs up the apps installed it .android_secure on your sdcard, and will restore them. As far as old school sdext, I'm pretty sure it will do that too... but its been so long and I haven't tested with the new cwms
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OrygunGal:
Thanks for the input, all. I was hoping that it did back up the apps installed to the sd card as well. Otherwise I thought the small remnants of the app that remain on the phone when an app is moved to sd could muck things up after restoring a backup.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Yes it will if you change SD cards or delete them and don't do a backup after that. It will litter your phone and you may get the issue saying "insufficient space" when trying to redownload the app.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZiggSVO:
You know, I really can't remember wth I was thinking when I was typing that lol

I've restored my phone I dont know how many times in the last couple weeks and it always brings back my apps lol

I think I may have been thinking that you should use another program if you are the kind of person that restores apps after flashing a new ROM?

IDK...either way thanks for clarifying my brain fart lol

I have flashed Switfdroid 2.0 m4 and have tried about 4 different sim and 2G/3G networks and none of these work with swiftdroid.

is this a known issue with swiftdroid?
[GT540 Optimus General] Jamielawther:
This is not a known issue , as the APN's are not installed by default.

You're from the UK and on Three right? Same as me :D ,

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.lukemovement.roottoolbox Install this and use the APN function to restore APN's then , Go to Settings > Wireless + Networks > mobile network > APN > (menu key) restore default , back out of this menu , and go back into it , select 3 :)

P.S. If you're using GPRS on Three , is it unbelievably slow? I can barely load Google in under a minute!
[GT540 Optimus General] wrsg:
i actually discovered what the problem was: a lying ebay seller! they advertised it as unlocked, and i naively assumed they were telling the truth. as soon as i realised i sent out a request for a reimbursement, so lets see how it goes. argh, its always the simplest things we miss....

regarding 3 performance, they are usually bloody fast for me, im in the south west, and always get very fast downloads, usually as fast as i get with wifi, but as you mention you use GPRS, thats not surprising, shouldn't you be using 3G instead?
[GT540 Optimus General] Jamielawther:
Stupid eBay sellers , LOL..

I should be using 3G but if you look at where I live , I don't actually get ANY 3G coverage :( I've asked Three many times to consider adding another 3G mast in my area as the one around 3/4 of a mile away , doesn't reach my house :L So I rely on Orange GPRS , which is slower than O2's GPRS or any other networks , because of Three's STUPID MTU :(

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liljuliod3:
Hey Can someone please help me out? I installed Simply Honey 3.3 yesterday and when i rebooted system it gave me rainbow screen again and again. I don't know what to do the 3Button Combo is not working at all, and i cant seem to get it in download mode to ODIN
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] movieaddict:
INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Power your phone down

2. Remove back cover, battery, sim card and sd card.

3. Reinsert battery ONLY, but leave your phone off

4. Open ODIN and load the 512.pit and the JFD.tar (512.PIT goes to PIT and the JFD.tar to PDA)

5. Select repartition and select the check box next to PDA

6. On your phone, press and hold the volume up and down at the same time. Keep them pressed and plug the mini USB into your phone (Please note the USB should be plugged into your PC as well)

7. You will be kicked into download mode AND Odin should show your comm in the first box. This comm will also glow yellow

8. Double check Odin to make sure you have everything loaded correctly

9. Click start
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liljuliod3:
Hey Thanks for replying!!!!! i tried the above and when I hold Vol Up+ Down and insert it goes straight to "VIbrant" boot logo then the rainbow starts again and then it reboots once more... thank you in advanced! if you could help me i would donate some money to you! thank you for helping me
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] movieaddict:
U need to get into down load mode! After that ur problem is solved. maybe u need a usb jig to get into dl mode.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] explodingboy70:
The steps posted above are correct somewhat.

Take battery out. Plug in usb to both phone and computer. Hold both volume keys and then insert battery.

You dont have to odin to stock though. You can flash a stock voodoo kernel via odin, say ka7, when the phone reboots youll be stuck at vibrant screen. Simply hold both volume keys and power until you see sonething on the screen and then releaae power only. This will get you to recovery where you can try flashing again, seems to always work the second time, or flash something else or restore.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liljuliod3:
Ohhhh i see! I can just switch my Kernel out but keep the rom and it should stop the Bootloop? :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] explodingboy70:
No you can switch the kernel to a 2.2 one and get into recovery. Then you can restore or flash a new. Second flash usually takes.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liljuliod3:
@ Exploding Boy I keep trying to get it into download mode but as soon as i plug the phone in the usb it goes directly to "Vibrant/Samsung" screen then rainbow, then cycles again. :( i am running Windows 7 x64 bit and i installed the new drivers then tried it again and still no luck am i screwed? :/
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] movieaddict:
U may need to get a usb jig!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] explodingboy70:
Are you pulling the battery? If yes then try the procedure i said but dont plug in and leave the battery in. Hold volume keys and then plug in.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liljuliod3:
yes ive pulled the battery out, pluged in while holding up + down - vol keys then plugging it in but it goes directly to the Vibrant screen ive also tried to get ADB to help but no use, do any of you guys know where i could buy a USB Jigs from a xda member because i dont know if i would trust some people on Ebay. thanks for trying to help and i guess im screwed till i get a Jig. and i will donate to both of you for at least suggesting help. thanks though i appreciate people like you guys :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] movieaddict:
i pmed u liljuliod3.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liljuliod3:
Good news! I ordered my USB Jig and it should arrive sometime this week I hope. I will also make a video of my phone to maybe show some of you what I dealt with, and then hopefully reflash to Odin Stock :) also for those of you who tried to help i will try to donate money to you :) thanks again!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] movieaddict:

[myTouch 4G Android Development] eqjunkie829:
Thought this was already covered to not work for throttling data because its not controlled by the phone?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] GazaIan:
The Desire Z seemed to have a similar method that worked out for them.. so this is tryable.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
If it works, great. i dont see how it could though. For throttling to be phone controlled like this, I dont think it would be in AOSP roms, only the t-mo stock rom.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] GazaIan:
Holy hell I haven't seen you in forever O.o gonna take a crack at this anyway.. got throttled last night and its not fun :(
[myTouch 4G Android Development] eqjunkie829:

It is not service driven. It is sim driven at the tower level.

I spoke with a tech who works and owns a tower in Allen, TX. He stated it is done by software at the tower level that gets uploaded every 12 hours to your account. Some towers go quicker than others but that hacking your phone that way will not work.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] KingDavid63:
i have a good friend of mine that works for tmobile and he's not a salesman either... he says theres no way around the throttle from the phones end.. it has more to do with the network_towers_etc.. than it does the phone... yea i know it sucks i think i get throttled every damn month... n e ways... never hurts to try.. :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] travisd4est:
This should be removed. We figured this out long ago. There is no patch no mod no thing. Sorry guy.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] LOONEyRR:
i havent tried this method, but i can def tell u that taking off the throttle works from first hand, CK had the mod incorporated into his older rom, the only reason he didnt keep it was cause it caused force closes on the network setting. i was at 7 gigs and wasnt throttled, its never guaranteed but it doesnt hurt to try, theres actually an easier way of changing the setting, i dont remember how tho, but theres an older thread somewhere in here that talks about it, or if your still interested in it, hit him up. his name is ckisgen, that guy is a beast when it comes to roms and knows about the throttling. bottom line, just like some of u have been sayin. "never hurts to try." :D hope this helps. :D

ps. if he doesnt respond(cause he's always busy, pm me or somethin, and ill be happy to help u try n find the other way. :D)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
Just talked to him:
[myTouch 4G Android Development] GazaIan:
it has to be applied before being throttled? Damn it I wish I had known :( I'm stuck with 50kb/s speeds until June 5th -_-

On the other hand, at least we now know it is possible.

oh yah. forgot to mention that.. i had to learn it the hard way as well. ha. oh well.. you live and learn. but yah. im living breathing proof that it works. :D ha

In the early days of Vibrant, you could easily root via update.zip. Then that stopped working, I think because of the 3e recovery. Anyway, I just use one of the already rooted ROMS like the deodexed and rooted KB5 found in the development section.

But update.zip should still work for you if you are running an older stock vibrant rom.

Do you know what odin is?

This is what I did.

Odin to jfd

use update.zip to root JFD

Install clockworkmod recovery or it's update.zip

Then apply your ROM of choice... I run deodexed/rooted KB5. I'm a fan of stock.

A few things u should check for right away because some sgs are hardware locked.

1-see if u can get into recovery mode via the 3 button mode

--a.turn off phone

--b.pull out the battery

--c.press the volume up + volume + power button down and keep holding

--d.insert battery

--e.**deleted my bad got ahead of myself

--f.wait for it to to turn on at this point u can let go of the power button - keep holding the volume buttons

--g.once u see the yellow text u can let go of all the buttons and it'll put u into recovery mode

2-see if u can get into download mode via the usb cable method

--a.power off phone

--b.remove battery

--c.plug in the micro usb cable into a computer that is on

--d.press and hold the volume up and down buttons

--d.plug in phone to micro usb while holding the volume buttons

--e.insert your battery while holding volume buttons

--f.wait for a few seconds then viola you should see the android dude with a shovel digging

You can try deleting your bluetooth data and rediscovering it. Doesn't always work. Or you can try another kernel on top to see if that makes it connect.

To delete all bluetooth data with root explorer go to data\misc\bluetoothhd and delete the mac address file there. Reboot. Now go to bluetooth and change the name of your device to anything you want. Then reboot again. Now rediscover your device and re-pair. Hope it works. Most BTs work great with Genocide.
