4 replacements?! most times you get a replacement you only need one, i have never needed any replacing of any of my phones unless you count physically twisting the piece of **** in half. 4 replacements is out of this world, YOU are doing something wrong and bricking your phone. Learn how to read better, and you wont have that problem. You bought it last year in June so it's already a year old, Ofcourse your new phone is going to have better reception and technology, your phone was ancient the day you bought it.

It is my firm belief you have no idea what you are talking about.

out the possible 100% you could have, 75% are totally happy with the SGS and have no issues. 20% are just absoloute morons who have no idea what they are doing and bricking there phones from rushing through or not reading. and there is 5% that are just unlucky and receive a phone that was destined for failure right from the factory.

Now we could count you in the 5% but seeing as youve broken 4 of your phones then your out of that category. Samsung has built an AMAZING phone with an AMAZING community behind it backing it up. Just because your another one of the clowns who cant pay attention to what your doing doesn't mean you need to make a thread starting s**t. Good, leave, dont let the door hit your ass on the way out. But a new phone isn't gonna help if your braindead, you'll just brick that one too.
[Vibrant General] XPLANE9:
I am fairly sure that a very few amount of people actually have your problems, and most are content with the Vibrant. So you basically created this thread to rub it in our faces that you got a better phone? Great, but you'll be regretting it when the Hercules kicks the Sensation's ass. Don't let the door hit you on the way out. Oh, and enjoy your Sensation once it bites the dust due to HTC's terrible quality control.
[Vibrant General] j1635:
i wouldnt touch anything he's owned
[Vibrant General] djluis48:
I don't know what you are talking either...im pretty happy with my phone.
[Vibrant General] tnimoruen:
I just got an HTC Sensation yesterday, but I do miss my Vibrant. I think the Vibrant screen is superior. Sense is cool but it's overhyped. Give me Trigger any day :) Also, I hate that my bootloader is locked. The Vibrant is very easy to modify. I might keep my Vibrant as my backup until the SGS2 comes out in the States. That's the phone I want!
[Vibrant General] ipetloudog:
This thread was unnecessary.

On a serious note, OP is a ___.
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
​

OP - you should post this in the Sensation forums.

That place is flooded with people *****ing about the Sensation.

Dust under screen, Data issues, lag, sound issues, death grip, and the currently locked bootloader...

And over here we have the GPS which can be fixed (extremely well, mind you) for $5 and a tweezer.

Thanks for the thread though. Good times.
[Vibrant General] MailenJokerbell:
You, my dear sir, just have a **** luck.

I've had my Vibrant for plenty of time and never got a single thing you mentioned, except GPS.

But I do not use GPS so I couldn't give two ****s.
[Vibrant General] PJcastaldo:
Um.. Huh? Worst phone you ever owned? Really..? So you went to a phone that has many of the same issues the Vibrant had when it came out (things all new phone suffer from at first.. lets be honest) But its a dud in its self.. Only 1 gb of user space.. Less than a Gig of ram, and thats going to be a must soon.. watch.. Don't get me wrong its a nice device.. My wife has a G2 and i have sense 3.0 Gingerbread on it and its cool.. But the Sensation is anything but Sensational...

And every one *****es and moans about updates.. guys i hate to tell ya this but it didn't take any longer for the SGS phones to get froyo than other devices.. and now GB is leaking for the US phones.. so that really needs to be put to bed..

[Vibrant General] imitebewrong:
Why do people make this type of post?

I'm fairly certain you won't be missed. Have you contributed anything to the community? Not that I have, but then again, I'm not going to make a childish farewell bragging on my new purchase.

It's not that the sensation is out of any of our reach, most of us could buy one right now. We CHOOSE not to.

Telling a bunch of people you don't know about what a great gadget you purchased.... Good for you buddy. Go call your mother and tell her how excited you are.

another case of user error :/...the vibrant is a phone for smart people, people who want to learn and read, this thing is almost unbrickable!! amazing screen, best single core GPU, 16gb of memory, I can keep going but I dont have enough time
[Vibrant General] horseycraze:
Sense sucks and the screen (you know, that thing you stare at constantly) on the Vibrant is wayyyy better in a side-by-side comparison.

What if people like OP (four phone returns, really?) are the reason we don't have GB yet....
[Vibrant General] gun:
I own both and screen in sensation sucks it is washed out bleak, poor angles you cant see anything when outside

the size of the phones is same but sensation feels heavy in my pocket and vibrant is like piece of paper. 4" and 4.3" are almost same. I love vibrant

OP sounds fat.
[Vibrant General] j1635:
ive searched hi and low everywhere and all i come up with is threads that are months old with the same 5 or 6 replies in it.

i want to PERMANENTLY shut off the backlights of the capacitive keys on my Vibrant.

When i went from froyo to gingerbread there was an issue with the lights staying on ALL the time. I remedied this by replacing a single file i believe in the /system/ folder. I cant remember the name exactly and im still looking for the file i have it somewhere.

Anyway replacing this file made it so the soft key lights timed out a few seconds after they were touched, worked awesome. But now these lights are pointless and im not using BLN so i dont want them on at all.

I KNOW this IS possible as it went from being on all the time to intermittent just from replacing the one file. When i opened it to see if i could edit it some more it was all in ascii jibberish and unreadable. ill continue looking for it but if we could keep this thread going as a proper one that everyone can see and read, im sure it will help out alot in the same boat
[Vibrant General] j1635:
OK! i found the file. its in 2 places on my phone right now

/res/misc/lights.s5pc110.so

and

/system/lib/hw/lights.s5pc110.so

and here is the code from inside the file (totally useless im assuming) so i uploaded the original file which can be found here

[Vibrant General] kainppc6700:
MAKE IT STOP Reply

Yes! Thankyou! I'm on this lame ROM that makes those STUPID CAPACITIVE KEYS stay on FOREVER. Ideally, I would like if they timeout with the keyboard (like 3,6, 15 seconds, etc.), but I could live with anything so long as they aren't on forever.

Phew.

Any updates on this would be very greatly appreciated.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] New_Guy777:
I just read that a GingerBread ROM was leaked to the Galaxy S 4G. I also know that the Vibrant has slightly different GPS hardware than the other Galaxy S series phones, which is why Captivate ROMs had functional GPS long before the Vibrant.

However, if the Galaxy S 4G has the same GPS as the Vibrant, this could save the developers a lot of time and headache if they just rip off the drivers and lib files from this new leaked ROM. See this link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1125747
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] explodingboy70:
Have you been asleep the last couple of days? Those files were already pulled and are working on gingerbread jvp ports.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ph09kng:
Yep. It will be soon when GPS will work on 2.3 base.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] New_Guy777:
I haven't been asleep, I just didn't realize that the GPS fix they were working on came from the Galaxy S 4G leak. I just found out about that leak today, and figured I'd try and make someones' life easier. I go through the Gingerbread ROMs every couple of days to check their progress, because as much as I want Gingerbread and working Netflix, I can't lose my GPS. Thanks for answering!

Problem with Stepping Back...

I, too, went with the Gingerbread Blitzkrieg today. Had to do the full smash since I was coming from a 2.2 ROM. Unfortunately, it seems to have killed my entire ability to do ADB. USB Debugging is activated, but plugging it into my computer doesn't allow me to "see" my phone, despite multiple reboots of both devices.

So far, everything is fine, but it keeps me from being able to use either ODIN or HEIMDALL.

I feel really vulnerable without these safety nets. I'd love to try again by flashing my Backup Restore in CWM, but I can't find anything that says whether or not that's safe when you have GB bootloaders and a GB Kernel...

*sigh* More Research.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattb3:
Are you sure your computer can't see the phone when its in download mode? I would give it a shot.

Also a nandroid restore should work fine, but you'll have to flash a froyo kernel before or after the restore.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] New_Guy777:
Got it...

Yes, it wouldn't see it at all. Finally got it to work after about the 10 reboot. My computer finally did the whole installing Samsung Device Drivers (as if it hadn't done that 50 times). Probably just my computer, which is not entirely what I wish for...

Anyway, I'm going back because I need to have control of my camera, even at the end of the battery. I use it for tutoring, and I need to know I can use it until the very end.

Something will be worked out soon, though, I'm sure.

Thanks for the responses and the care, guys. You're all that makes XDA such a wonderful resource.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Romanbb:
Had the same happen to me. Unplug, disable USB debugging, enable, plug back in. Voila.

Also, update 2 includes a hacked cam that will work below 15%
[Nook Color General] kat3k:
Been reading posts here for weeks getting ready to take the plunge. I got a refurb Nook Color (blue dot) this week and am expecting an 8gb SanDisk card today (after learning here to use SanDisk only). I have bookmarked dozens of xda pages in preparation, and thought I sort of knew which way to go.

But now I'm getting confused about the blue dot and partitioning problems, double booting, which nightly to use, and more worries than you'll want to read here.

I've had androids for a while, but never wanted to risk bricking. Which is one of the many appealing things about Nook. I want to only make changes on the sd card and be able to revert to the original Nook if I ever need to.

I've read lots of the how-to's here and was all set to use CM7, but am getting cold feet, and a little confused. Is Phiremod an updated revision to that? Should I use that? I'm not interested in Honeycomb right now, and don't want to sacrifice stability for excitement in any experimental builds.

Any guidance or suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated. I'm pretty excited about this, but today am thinking Uh oh, am I in over my head?
[Nook Color General] itmustbejj:
Honestly I would recommend running your rom off of the emmc and not sd card. The majority of ppl with CM issues are ppl booting it off of SD card.

The really nice thing about the nook is even if you completely screw up the flashing to emmc, you can put a clockwork img on your sd card, and the nook will boot from sd card first to restore from. With that being said, I would try one of the newest CM nightlies and go from there.
[Nook Color General] richard98:
Personally, I would install the latest nightly CM7. The instructions at the following thread cover both versions of the NOOK.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1030227
[Nook Color General] vlucchetti:
Phiremod is based on cm7, just more heavily themed.
[Nook Color General] carlosraf20:
install it to emcc is better for my opinion and also if you are not used to tshooting some bugs that may come with latest nightly. I will go with the stable version from CM with the OC kerlen @ 1.3(I been having that set up for a while and never had a single problem )
[Nook Color General] kat3k:
Thanks. I have been reading that link for the last few days, so will go with that. I appreciate the other replies suggesting I install to the emmc, but at this point in my life, I definitely want to just use the sd card.

What does "nightly" mean? I picture people working on this every night and coming up with revisions, like a "daily" newspaper. This is probably not what it means, but I was wondering.
[Nook Color General] Briaom:
I have been running CM7 off a SanDisk SD card for quite a bit of time now, and I have not experienced any issues. I am, however, running the latest 'stable' version (7.0.3).

"nightly" does indeed mean (almost) every night, from what I have seen. When you go to the site to get an image, you will see links to nightly revisions.
[Nook Color General] kat3k:
Thanks very much for the reply. I'm going to get started on this later tonight. And thanks for clarifying the "nightly" part. I was going to go with the most recent stable version, but I wonder if it makes more sense to go with the latest nightly, if that means it's been tinkered with to work out any bugs that pop up. But it also might mean new things being tried in the nightlies at the same time. Stable vs nightlies?
[Nook Color General] ShutterPeep:
I know it's confusing, but you are better off with the current nightly as it is really "stable". Couple it with the latest gapps and OC kernel, the NC is just a beast of a device!

The stable version is sort of outdated... Or just install the stable version to relieve your apprehension and wait until the next stable release comes out.
[Nook Color General] woneil:
So if the latest nightly is really stable, who determines when the latest "nightly" is renamed "stable"?
[Nook Color General] SCrid2000:
I'm just sticking with CM7, tried Phiremod but decided to go back.

As far as nightlys becoming stables, I think the nightlys are built automatically, whereas the stables have a little more human interaction. Could be wrong tho.
[Nook Color General] kat3k:
You're right about it being confusing. Okay, I'm about to get started and going with the nightly, cm_encore_full-105.zip (instead of the 106 after reading someone had to go back to 105 and netflix worked again). Got the NC, got the sandisk card, got the nightly link and other links to directions. I hope I don't have to come back with 25 more questions. Thanks for all suggestions.
[Nook Color General] kat3k:
I got as far as installing image installer on the sd card, removing it, and then pc requires card formatting, which removes the installer. I can use use win32disk imager to write verygreen's image installer on the card, but then run into the formatting problem. Computer does not see card at all after writing the image to it; I remove and reinsert and it wants to format. (Sandisk 8gb) What am I doing wrong?

I haven't even gotten near the NC yet. I can't get past the sd card.
[Nook Color General] kat3k:
I think I'm doing something wrong with verygreen's installer image. I have to remove the ".gz" suffix for win32diskimager to see it and write it to the card, but it does it in only a couple of seconds, which I think is not right. If I leave the .gz on, win32d will not see it. How else can I get his installer image onto the card? It appears from the directions, I need win32di to write it there.
[Nook Color General] ShutterPeep:
The .gz file is actually a compressed file kind of like a .rar or .zip file. Use a program like 7-zip to extract the .img file. The image file (.img) is the one you should be burning to the SD via Win32diskimager. Then you should be on your way.
[Nook Color General] kat3k:
Thank you very much. (Sometimes I wish we could remove questions that sound idiotic after we find the solution, but hopefully it will be helpful to others when they come across them.)

I did the unzipping, then used win32di to put it on the card, installed it on the NC, installed gapps according to directions, and all I can say is:

TOTALLY AMAZINGLY UN***BELIEVABLE!!!

Thanks for help with my questions, and to verygreen: thank you, thank you, thank you!
[Nook Color General] ShutterPeep:
glad you made it through. :)

[Nook Color General] dalingrin:
Don't you mean great work by the CM7 team? :)
[Nook Color General] DiDGR8:
The first rule of CM is.....

(Never ask WHEN).

Honestly, remember that Cyanogen has to run "stably" on DOZENS of different phones AND tablets, before a release is upgraded to stable status. For individuals versions, (like our Encore), it will probably be stable for quite a while before the whole project upgrades.
[Nook Color General] carlosraf20:
Good to know the first rule ,I known they do this for free so it don't matter the time it takes. I will give a try to one of the nightlys

[Nook Color General] grrmisfit:
might as well borrow this thread since it sorta relates to my question.. my Nc is 3 days old ( nice fathers day gift ) but since im not new to rooting i was pretty comfortable getting started.. till i found out i was running 1.2.. so i went with the SD card running for now. 2 things..

1. can you run the OC kernel on the CM7 from SD card? and how?

2. is there an android app comparable to nooks ereader software? only reason why i went with SD card running first.. that and rooting + install for 1.2 info seems kinda spread out
[Nook Color General] bigbob23:
Yes. There are separate versions for SD and eMMC. Copy the zip file to the boot area of the SD card, boot into recovery and it will be installed.

The current version of the Nook app is pretty close, but not quite as nice IMHO (it's fine for book reading, however). I ran on the SD card for a month or so before installing on eMMC, which is nicer overall, which overrides the advantage of that app for me. Some people prefer Aldiko.
[Nook Color General] imjimmy:
Aldiko is good. But check out moon reader and cool reader. Moon reader, especially, is soo good that I haven't used the B&N nook app in months.
[Nook Color General] wjbaird:
If that works for you, great! If you start to see a lot of random force close messages, it probably means the SD card isn't working, and I'd then suggest trying the emmc.

There are processes documented to restore the original rom if you want to go back.
[Nook Color General] kat3k:
Thanks. So far, so good with the sd card. Now I'm wondering if I should try the overclock, or whether there's anything for me to gain. Also, I'd like to be able to use netflix, and am looking at some of the ways talked about here to make that work. I see there is an app that does the changing for you, and wonder if it makes any difference if I'm using the sd card system. If I use the app to make the change for netflix, will I still be able to pull out the sd card, and have the NC reader as original?

I actually started out with an HTC Flyer, and am SO sorry I didn't find out about the NC sooner. The Flyer is very nice, but for the difference in price and the hands on fun of getting it to do CM7, I'd take the NC hands down any day.
[Nook Color General] bhess:
I really like FBreader. Simply touching the side will turn the page and sliding up or down on the left side changes the brightness.
[Nook Color General] rhester72:
Ditto Aldiko.

Question for those using Phiremod (6.3):

Every time I want to check the "Status" in the Setting Option, it crashes. Not a deal breaker by any sense, but slightly annoying.

[EVO 4G General] DomSim:
yes but it is the same question that has been asked a thousand times that you didnt feel the need to search for yourself. look like 3 posts down from your thread, then like 2 more down, then a few more down, notice anything? yeah those are the other morons who asked the same thing that has been beat to death because they felt they were to special to search.
[EVO 4G General] chesarae.garza:
i dont think we think were "to special" bro.

thanks for pointing me in the right direction though, thats all i needed.
[EVO 4G General] Lpast:
So it can't be done or is it being worked on?
[EVO 4G General] waterbound:
Currently it cannot be done. The source code for the ROM will be released soon and soon after you will have more ROMS, better kernels and rooting. Until then its a wait period for you. Its good practice to wait after an update (OTA) is released to the wild because you lose root and essentially you are stuck with that ROM until things are released etc.

Hope that helps and welcome to XDA.!
[EVO 4G General] Schlenkerla:
How long....?

I'm a n00b and I know there is no root method with a 2.3 OTA if you are S-On. The bootloader is locked.

Question: Whats a typical time-frame for somebody to do the hack? Days, weeks, Months.

From what I gather and read this work-a-round is going to be harder.

The reason I ask is that I am about to kank my Comcast wireless service. Increased from $26.99 to $49.99. I think I'm better off paying Sprint $30 for the hotspot. I am better off waiting a bit, then root to get the free hotspot tether to work.

FWIW - Maybe there should be a sticky titled "EVO 4G 2.3 Hack Update! - Sprint: 4 , XDA:3" One post per day, saying just "nada, zilch, nothing, - patience grasshoper" :D

Anything to see the status is No Can Do.

People will be mercilessness with asking the same ridiculous question.
