Well...

1. None of the 2.3 ROM's can be said to have 100% working GPS IMHO. When it works it works and when it doesn't it doesn't. I've read a few posts on how to make it work more often but have more or less given up and am sticking with Project-V until we see a 2.3 leak or official ROM.

2. Your phone warranty is a year, right? So, if you break your phone more than a year into the purchase aren't you going to have to replace it with another one on your own dime? the point I'm making is that most all of the warranties will be expired by the time T-Mobile even gets close to running out of refurbished Vibrants to exchange broken ones with... and, as another example on this subject - I can still get hard drives for HP and Dell servers which are 7-10 years old now. They're original equipment, have just been refurbished. T-Mobile will likely always keep a few refurbished Vibrant's around...
[Vibrant General] jwleonhart:
I've been running the CyanogenMod 7 nightly since built #30, and all I can say is it's gotten better and better.

There is a GPS fix that is really easy to apply and my GPS now locks within 30 second everytime, all the time. GPS problems are no more, and i've been using it for about a week now without a hitch so it's not just a fluke. Look on the development section you'll see stuff on working GPS fix.

As for changing to the gingerbread loader, when you go into CWM and update to something like CM7, it will automatically update it for you, you would just do a data wipe and install it like any other rom.

As for T-Mobile running out of vibrants. Sure its certainly possible. Will they...? Depends on how many they still have and how many people break theirs..

The replacement more than likely would be the Vibrant 4G... which would be a bummer because nobody wants that thing.
[Vibrant General] kboater:
thanks for your response guys. I really appreciate it.

one more question, anyone have any idea which department, at tmobile, has more authority; Customer loyalty or Retentions? or are they the same dept? Tmobile really frustrated me yesterday and I want to call back today, but not sure which dept to talk to....Ive had 2 lines with them for over 5 years, but Im afraid they are already turning into att and it will only get worse with the merger.

---For example, several times in the last couple of years they have changed my rate plan very easily without signing a new contract. they have just changed it without problem. I tried to do it yesterday and they said now they have a policy that they will not change a rate plan without signing a contract (im not under contract). they can add features, but wont actually let me change my number of minutes or anything without signing a new contract......like they have in the past.....It has me really frustrated since i have 2 lines with texts and data with them for over 5 yrs and never a late pmt.

so any idea which dept, Retentions or Loyalty?
[Vibrant General] kboater:
Anyone know diff between loyalty and customer retentions? Or are they the.same?

Hi

I recently flashed my phone to 2.3.4

Before flashing I moved all my apps to the sd card. Now, while the apps are still there, the phone does not list them in the 'Manage Application' section. It does read the sd card and when viewed from My Files shows all the app folders to be there. No data could have been wiped off since I had removed the sd card when flashing.

Any help will be really appreciated. Had some 150+ apps and may have to redownload them again :-(
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] plotinus:
I think you have to install them again
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] BrNoMen:
You "moved" them, you mean, you have the apk files on your sd card? I think you have to install them again. I have never use it, but I guess titanium backup is good for apps backup. I have already done mine, but I still don't need to restore it so I dont know really know how it works ahahaha
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] rodeoz:
I downloaded them from the market and then moved them to the sd card before flashing the phone! I guess the apk files never got moved. Might have to reinstall all of them! :-(
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] consegregate:
A portion of app data is in data/system. Flashing removes all these files.

XDA ♥
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] casiocas:
Hey!

Next time if you want to backup or move your files or apps, use TITANIUM BACKUP. After Flashing you can EASELY move then back, where they WAS.

But for now, you must install them AGAIN.

CHEERS! :cool:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] rodeoz:
Thanks everyone for your help! Will be wiser the next time round :-)

[Atrix 4G General] Monrizzy:
Hi all,

I hope this is the right place. I've recently flashed GingerBlur on 4.1.83 (great rom by the way) but I've run into a small issue. The old Motorola contact widget doesn't work anymore and I can't find a suitable free replacement.

This is very inconvenient for me. I like to keep all frequently used contacts on one home screen and have the Facebook photos displayed with the ability to call or txt from the widget. Can any of you think of a way I can accomplish this via a marketplace widget, or a way to get my old moto contact widget back?

Thanks a ton folks. Also I'm a complete n00b.
[Atrix 4G General] Andrew149:
Ok so heres the details i have ATT phone with a unlocked bootloader on the latest Cherryblurr i cannot flash any radios i can flash roms and kernal just fine btw so i have tried flashing these ways

-CWM install ABORTS

-Fastboot installed successfully but in info it does not show the 91 radio only .30p radio

SBF-Flashes successfully phone reboots but still on the .30p radio

Can anyone assist me on this problem or is anyone else having the same issue??

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the huckler:
Hey guys,

I hope you're all well.

Great forum by the way.

I've searched extensively for solutions to my problem, yet I've been unable to find anything.

I think the problem started yesterday, when I restarted my phone and for some reason it went into safe mode.

I didn't lost any functionality so I didn't care too much until this morning, when I tried to get out of safe mode.

My phone has taken me to the bootloader (white screen with skateboarding Android) and for some reason, the power key (used to select options) and the volume keys (used to scroll) are not functioning.

As a result I cannot click or choose anything and the white bootloader screen persists in limbo.

I desperately need some suggestions, any help is very much appreciated.

Just so you know:

I've taken the battery out and put it back in, which takes me straight back to the bootloader screen, same with sim card.

The phone is running Coredroid (can't remember which version).

Has S-OFF.

Sorry I'm not much of an expert...

Also, on startup, phone says something along the lines of:

SD Checking...

LOADING... [PD98DIAG.zip]

NO IMAGE!

LOADING... [PD98DIAG.nbh]

NO IMAGE OR WRONG IMAGE!

Something has become corrupted.

Best bet would be to use an ruu 2.36.405.8 and lower, once loaded up, skip through the setup and then root again.

http://driphter.com/index.php?topic=3867.0

after you've done all that, install rom manager, and then restore your last backup.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the huckler:
Just a quick update.

Managed to get into Clockwork Mod Recovery.

Got the SD Card to mount.

Formatted it in windows.

Copied over Coredroid.

Went thru the install process.

Installed without error.

Booted up.

Took it's time, displayed the Coredroid animation but then vibrated and took me straight to Bootloader again.

Any advice or best to do this RUU thing?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the huckler:
Would this:

RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.3_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.15_M3_release_155032_signed

Be ok?

Am I in the right ballpark?

Truly got no clue when it comes to this stuff :(
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JSLEnterprises:
use the 2.36.405.8 RUU, then you wont have to spend your time updating the radio and such, that version of gingerbread is rootable using gingerbreak (so just follow that path of my method and you're set)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the huckler:
Hello mate,

Just a quick question.

How do I get my computer to recognize my phone prior to running this RUU thing?

Considering I can't scroll or select anything in bootloader screen?

Can I run this RUU thing from ClockworkMod?

Kind regards,

- Ric
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JSLEnterprises:
you run it from your pc. its an advaced installer that pushes the stock rom to the device and overwrites everything... it will put the phone into a different bootloader state than the one you can nav through.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the huckler:
Also, sometimes the phone is booting into bootloader, while other times it is booting into ClockworkMod.

It seems I have no control over which screen it initially boots to.

I DO HAVE options in ClockworkMod because my volume keys allow me to scoll and my power button allows selection, whereas in bootloader, the keys do not function.

Could you PLEASE provide some advice on how to boot into ClockworkMod rather than bootloader?

Kind regards,

- Ric
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the huckler:
Yes I do realize I run the RUU from the PC.

I don't think I was very clear.

I was trying to ask you what state the phone needs to be in?

Do I have to mount the SD Card from ClockworkMod?

Or can I run the RUU while in Bootloader?

Does it matter?

Neither have worked.

I get a 170 error (USB Connection error).

The RUU cannot see my phone.

I was wondering if there's a way to fix this?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the huckler:
I have also now tried to install Leedroid and Gingervillian.

Both have installed perfectly but refuse to boot all the way.

Instead taking me back to Bootloader...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the huckler:
Ok, Leedroid somehow booted.

No network or anything though.

Very unstable...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JSLEnterprises:
if the phone is running leedroid now and you have the htc sync tools installed (but without sync running, just needs to be installed for the drivers)

leave it as it is connected to your pc, doesnt matter if debugging or anything else is on or off. just leave it alone sitting where it is on your desk or wherever it is...

Start the RUU, and then just follow the path the installer takes you through, then let it do its magic... ;)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the huckler:
Ended up d/l Cyanogen.

Installed it.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wollitaj:
I'm an original at&t iPhone guy who switched to Verizon about a year ago when the android finally started making me drool over its superior look, feel and operation.

The fact that its open source and has far better customization, sold me in a heartbeat. I started with a Samsung fascinate and was sorely dissapointed. The phone always had bugs and never ran properly. Even after a much awaited froyo update.

I traded my fascinate on craigslist for my dinc about 4 months ago and was very impressed not only with the lack of bugs and lagginess but also at the development that has occurred. The devs for this phone are freakin awesome!!! Thanks guys!!

Now I see dual core processors and larger screens taking over the android market as well as an upcoming iPhone 5 that, I'm sure will live up to the apple name.

My question is simple. Should I keep my dinc until its done, should I upgrade to a newer android device or should I cross back to the dark side and have apple tell me what's good for me once again? Hmmmmmmm.....

Comments?

It's wall to wall walls in this place!!!

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheWhiteBandito:
I'm keeping my Dinc until it's upgrade time (beginning of Jan 2012), and if there is no suitable replacement (for my tastes) then I have no problems sticking with the Dinc. It's a great phone and will still be a great phone in 6 months from now.

As for switching to iPhone, that's a matter of preference. I'm a Mac user that prefers Android over iOS because iOS doesn't have the flexibility and functionality that Android does. I do think that iOS can be prettier and more polished in some ways, but the functionality of an Android phone is worth more than the eye candy of iOS.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithrewitontheground:
I would say the only worthy upgrade seems to be the SGS2(if it has lte) or the Nexus 4G/htc verzion that are rumored for this fall/winter.

I'd be surprised if Verizon would allow a stock phone without bloatware all over the damn place.. I'd love if I was wrong but I wouldn't be surprised if it was still a sprint phone. Saw an article about how sprint is now going to be removing bloatware or making it uninstallable. Pretty respectable move IMO, but I can't see Verizon following suit.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renzo.olivares:
actually the nexus 4g lte is rumored to go to At&t with their new 4g lte network not verizons and sprint sort of exagerates "lies" the removal of bloatware because you can only remove 5 or so apps

What's next is called the Thunderbolt. It's got a screen bright enough to read, battery life... well, anything has batter battery life than a dInc, absolutely stupid-fast 4G, a stupid-fast CPU that EASILY clocks up to 1.6GHz, and a screen big enough for a keyboard. I lived with the dInc for a long time, longer than any other phone I've ever had. I cannot for the life of me understand how anyone can say with a straight face that the original dInc isn't bested yet. There is literally nothing that the dInc does as well, let alone better, than either the Thunderbolt or the dInc2.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kiboe:
Verizon gets a small incentive from the companies of the bloatware, that's why they put them on there. and i don't think verizon will ever get a nexus bone stock android phone, i really don't, here is why. Verizon isn't really out there for the consumer, they are out there for the profit. hence why, i mean at t-mobile and ATT, if you want a new phone, no problem, walk into the store, and get one at the upgrade price....in the middle of your contract.

Verizon hasn't gotten the idea of that just yet. plus like other companies, verizon does have shareholders to report to (and they aren't happy, they think the data plan changes will ruin their investment)

the only reason i have verizon is because that's the only carrier here with decent coverege, and they really aren't as bad as people make them out to be.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kiboe:
that's your oppinion.

yeah, we can overclock any phone, and switch to landscape mode to type somthing. and 4G isn't nationwide in every single town yet, i want to know people seem to think that. and not everyone wants a big-ass phone in their pockets. i have somtuing called a laptop, and it works just great if i want somthing better than 3.5 inches

maybe because we have devs who already got it to gingerbread? and with that logic everyone in this country on the roads should be driving brand new 2012 model year cars, right now. people are happy with what they have and they make it better. not everyone has 500+ dollars to spend on a new phone everytime they come out.

really? there isn't much difference, gingerbread as i said above, is already on various roms for the dinc. the main selling point for the t-bolt right now is that it's a 4g

CAPABLE

phone. if you are not in a 4g area, you will get 3g coverege. my area won't get 4g until a few years from now. and no, i don't live in "podunk nebraska" i live in a town of about 48,500+ people.

the way you pimp the freaking t-bolt so much... the thunderbolt threads are down there
