Imagine if other things worked like that too. Like when toyota had that brake problem lol

Mine works fine after I got a replacement. I get about 6-8 locks within 3 or 4 seconds and tracks my movement just fine.
[Vibrant General] tony yayo:
Definitely ask for a replacement. I bothered them a couple times, told them I did everything, gps restore, factory reset, blah blah blah, and that it's never worked. I even told them I was rooted so I could try different roms to see if I could get the GPS to work and he just said that it was dangerous to root my phone and that I would have to return it to stock when I sent it back. They did a warranty exchange, so asking for that would help. They also sent me the replacement first and then I sent them back the old one. GPS works awesome now, within 10 feet. I've even locked on to 11 of 13 birds before. I don't always get a great signal but it is 100x's more usable than before.

Get Rom Manager Premium

Use it to put the project V Rom on your phone along with the gps fix and then come back and tell us how much you gave EDT and some of the other guys around here for helping.

I couldn't get mine to work for the longest time either but it's working great now. I don't know, about battery life, but otherwise the thing is smooooth and fast.
[Vibrant General] vapotrini:
Wow, so after all the crying on these forums you guys are going with a carrier again huh? Cry, cry, cry but let's all conveniently forget not getting any updates.

Guess the good news for me is, I'll never get to see all the *****es on here whining again. As I'll be in the unlocked phone forum enjoying any and all benefits many months ahead of time.

It's unbelievable.

Warranty replacement

I had the same experience with a replacement phone, received the replacement the next day without paying for expedited shipping. The GPS has been working well, but only since I upgraded to Project V.
[Vibrant General] Dougefresh91:
I got a replacement about a month ago from my original release device. GPS is much improved, but still not perfect. Fast locks, but using it for driving is still pretty hit and miss, there's just less miss. Still kind of irks me, but I guess this is as good as it gets.
[Vibrant General] zbt1985:
my screen is cracked, though it still works fine. do you think this excusse will work in order to get a new phone? I got my vibrant the day it came out, so the gps has always sucked, though i don't use it all that often to be that much of a problem...

would love to hear what you guys think

thanks in advance!

Totally disappointed with Tmobile. Will not make the same mistake again!
[Vibrant General] dang2327:
T-Mobile has released an update fix for GPS problems on their Vibrant phones. Please search for it online. I tried this and my GPS works great now.
[Vibrant General] kmandel:
If you mean "GPSRestore" by Samsung Mobile from the market, it did nothing useful for me.
[Vibrant General] Vibrant03:
I played with the infuse 4g.. it's weird to hold with one hand and hard to navigate the screen with your thumb.. And the icons look bigger??? It looks funny.. It doesn't look clear also, must be because of low resolution... I now have an idea how the Hercules would be like..

I might just upgrade to g2x or I might try the htc although am not really a fan of their phones..

Perhaps there'll be better phones for the winter..
[Vibrant General] PJcastaldo:
They WILL replace it.. just tell them your GPS doesn't work at all.. and that your tried the fix released to the market and it didn't help at all.. and they will replace it if it is on warranty only.. T-Mo is very good about these kinds of things.. well at least to me they have been..
[Vibrant General] Vibrant03:
Thanks for letting me know i could do that.. I think I'll hold on to my vibrant for now, who knows, we might get the sgs2 later this year? I don't think I can part with the samoled screen..

I'll see..

I still have the same phone I got the day it came out last year.. I take care of it coz i love my phone..

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waterbound:
definitely a weird 'one-off' issue with your cell. But as everyone has already said, wipe and wipe everything. Use VRwipe or something similar and I HIGHLY recommend Amon RA Recovery as apposed to Clockwork recovery (in my opinion) as I have had zero issues after using RA.

Hope that helps

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dougdascenzo:
I am currently on an Evo on Sprint, but had enough of their terrible data speeds and being that my wife is out of contract, and coming from a Palm Treo Pro (windows mobile), she would be the perfect guinea pig to try out Verizon. Got her an Incredible 2 and wow I am seriously impressed.

Phone is insanely light, but not cheap feeling like the Samsungs. Somehow, they made it feel light, and solid at the same time. Screen looks great, and the thing runs pretty lag free right out of the box even with the abundance of bloat ware. After charging it full, she is now sitting at 50% battery with 1 day and 5 hours off the charger. She is definitely a light user, but I made sure facebook is syncing every hour, gmail/calendar/contacts are push, logged in to gtalk, bluetooth/wifi/gps are on all the time, auto brightness turned on.

I am holding out for something new over the next few months, but being that I am not going to root or mod her phone, the thing has just been fantastic as an out of the box solution for her.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tyvallely:
Good pick on the phone. By the way how much worse are the download speeds on Verizon?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dougdascenzo:
I am assuming you mean how much worse are they on Sprint. Well in some areas like right in the center of Saint Paul, I get decent speeds on par with verizon (between 1 and 2 mbps). In the suburbs, still not a rural area where I live, I get on a good day .5 - .6 mpbs. A lot of days it drops to .2 - .3 mbps. Just terrible. I have been checking daily on my wife's Incredible 2 and her 3G speeds is 1mbps+ 95% of the time at our house and occassionally tops 2mbps (thought not that often). A couple of times she came in around .5-.6, but within a minute or so results were back over 1mbps again.

I'll tell you what though, the offers Sprint made us to come back were obscene. Think they said a free galaxy tab with 2 years service (I believe 2 years free service). Also I think they offered another line of phone service with data free for one year. It was hard to turn down, but in the end, what good are the devices if the network is terrible. My Evo was never the problem, its the network. Can't wait until Verizon gets a device I like so I can make the switch too.

You cannot set custom ringtones if it's a Windows Phone 7. As for yet, that is. Recent Mango update promises to add this feature.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drkfngthdragnlrd:
You need to Dev Unlock your device & you can use Chevron WP7 Custom Ringtone Manager to make custom ringtones.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guiri_too:
Thanks. So bottom line is, right now, you CAN NOT get any ringtones other than what come with the phone?

If I get that manager, are there any places where he can download ringtones for FREE or do you have to actually MAKE your own?

Thanks again

I've heard that it can only be truly bricked if you mess with the HBoot or radio stuff. Is this true and what are your thoughts on the matter?

Thanks,

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kimbernator:
The method that's depicted in that link is the "safer" one generally. While there is always a risk involved with this type of thing, you can be safe by following those directions EXACTLY. if you do that, it should be just fine.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mackster248:
There SHOULD be no risks to rooting. But check if you have a good or bad chip first... Because the myTouch 4G is just dumb like that. HTC really messed up with this phone with it's plethora of hardware problems.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowandbehold:
I personally think that if you "can't risk" a brick, you probably shouldn't root it. And yes there should be no risks, but with these crazy chips floating around and people not being able to follow directions, there are always risks.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
+1

There are always risk when you are tampering with the firmware of anything. Phones, Computers, Routers what ever. If you cannot "RISK" it you might just want to use VISIONary.apk r14 and just leave "temp root on boot" checked.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eqjunkie829:
Read up as much as you can and then read some more, watch some youtube howto videos and if after all that you are still doubtful that you can do it then stick with stock. Its really not as overwhelming as it seems to root a phone though, but it is pretty basic and after youve done it once you will wonder why you didnt do it sooner.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dubie76:
I also agree with these guys. If you cant take the risk, then dont do it. There are people that want to root and those who dont. Then there are people who should root and those who should not. Rooting is only needed if you want to flash custom kernels,roms, radios etc. If your an average user then dont worry about rooting. It will do you no good.

If you do decide to root, then just read and take your time. The instructions are all laid out and have been used many times. When in doubt ask.

Good luck
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barrett S:
Thanks guys, I really appreciate all of the responses! I'm fairly certain I'll root, but I am still reading. I'd like to know some worst case scenarios and what I can do to prevent them. What if I mistype something while perm rooting? Also, what are the risks of loading custom roms? Is there always a way to restore it even if your stuck on bootloop? One more thing, how do I know if I have a bad chip and what happens if I do?

Thanks again,

Barrett
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eqjunkie829:
Best thing i can say to do as kind of a brick prevention tool is to make sure you flash eng bootloader cause it opens up more options that would be unavailable if you have a problem. If you mistype something it may not be as big a problem as WHERE it is mistyped. I dont think you can check for the bad chip until your phone is rooted. but it is something that can be checked through adb. The post with instructions in how to check the chip is the one that says something about post your emmc serial.

There really isnt any risk in loading a custom rom, other than getting a corrupt file download that wont flash. Make sure you make a backup through rom manager as soon as you get rooted. It will save you bigtime from having to reset everything up after a problem (ie bootloop or phone overclocked to the point of freezing.)

I second that, I flash new roms too frequently.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryumo:
I was hesitant at first, but a couple months later, I went ahead and jumped in. Not too much to be afraid of if you follow instructions. Wouldn't ever go back to a stock ROM and I wondered what I was so afraid of after it was all over.

I try out new ROMs like I'm trying on shirts, its that simple once you get over the initial hump of being a bit hesitant to root a device. There's a supportive community here that will answer any questions you have and chances are- someone has already gone through whatever it is you have an issue with and has a fix. Search is your friend, that's how I got by. Just jump in. All the resources are here and other places on the web.

If you're still hesitant... just don't do it. It's not worth your time and anxiety if you're going to be continually fearful of doing something wrong. This is the kind of thing for tinkerers.... if you're not a tinkerer, just enjoy your phone as it is.

[EVO 4G General] vTeCz:
For those of you with launch-day Evo 4G's under a family plan wanting to upgrade to the new Evo 3D:

Upgrade eligibility check from Sprint.com:

Primary line - $150 off (I had to request this by e-mailing sprint)

Secondary line - $75 off

Problem:

Upgrade eligibility check from Wirefly.com & Amazon.com:

Primary line - Upgrade eligible!

Secondary line - No upgrade until 2012

This indicates we may have trouble getting a discount on the second line. Word is that Sprint does not approve authorized agents i.e. Wirefly/Bestbuy/Amazon to offer upgrade eligibility on secondary lines (?) This is yet to be confirmed.

If that is not that case then it would make wirefly.com @ $150 tax-free with full discounts as the cheapest method to get our evo 3d's.

Can anyone confirm or inform us of the cheapest, easiest way to upgrade both phones?
[EVO 4G General] felacio:
I called the other day and flat out asked if I could get pushed to upgrade status for both of my lines and they agreed and did it right there. I'm on a family plan as well.

One post is enough:

[EVO 4G General] KB112:
It has nothing to do with 3rd partys upgrading secondary lines. That secondary line is not eligible for a "full" upgrade, so I am assuming thats the issue you are running into. That company may not do the 1yr silver type of rebate/discount. A brick and mortar store can do it for you, but perhaps online it's a bit different.

Why would it be $150?

The first phone will cost you $179.99 for line 1, as the $150 upgrade gives you new customer pricing.

Then the second upgrade line would cost you $525 for the second phone. Since the $75 upgrade is off the retail price ($600), you don't get to use any of the instant/manufacture/dealer or other type of rebates.

So you're looking at $705 plus activation fees and what not for two phones.

I purchased a new HDTV right after christmas. I went back and forth about 3D. Since plasma is out of the question for me, I was limited to a few manufacturers that made LCD 3D tv's. I took home a 55" LG LED 3D, although it had great picture and the 3D was fun I was not happy with the Ghosting of the LED backlight in the bottom 2 corners so I returned it for annother which was DOA- the panel was cracked (they gave me a little hassle about this). I gave up on the LG and went with a 60" Sharp. So far Im happy with it but alas... NO 3D for me..:(:(:( But I think that 3D is going to be getting better and better in the next few years, so im glad I saved the $1500 to wait for the new 3d tvs to come out. P.S. the viewing angle on the LG sucked. But im seeing the new LG tv that has no battery glasses and better viewing angle but have yet to try this at the store.

Im sorry bout my tv rant but eh? why not
