You are an asset wherever you go.

Wow....... We have had a great run here at Vibrant forum....... For most of us this is where we REALLY got on top of the Android experience....... and on this phone it has been great to watch Android evolve.

I probably will not far behind you...... bud

Always the best........ and the Vibrant forum will miss you...........
[Vibrant General] TheSneakerWhore:
I see you are headed off to work...
[Vibrant General] EmoEskimo:
Its sad to see you go but I appreciate all the work that you did for the vibrant community and how much you helped me. It wasn't too long ago that I had a boring old vibrant stuck on stock 2.2, but your noob guide helped it prosper into so many new possibilities. Again thank you for all the hard work you have done, and good luck in the future.
[Vibrant General] N00B_IN_N33D:
Dude, you are the best. If it weren't for you I wouldn't have even known what root was. You practically taught me everything I know and helped me whenever I struggled or had a question, no matter how simple or dumb. You will be missed from the Vibrant community and hopefully my next android device (T-mobile's Samsung Galaxy S II) is the same device you will have by that time...

Thanks for all your help to the noobs and experts of xda alike!​

PS- This was my phone before you helped me...

This is it now...
[Vibrant General] beowolf:
I have also moved on. The vibrant was nice, but I have a sensation 4g coming this week and I look forward to it. Finally I will have a phone that has a working gingerbread and soon ICS. The vibrant has served me for a time, but the phone is just old now. The developers working on it are great but many have left. CM7 is a buggy mess with dangerous non working 911 and other bugs. After this week this old phone will go in the closet as a backup phone.

See ya.

I need one for it's screen. I cracked the glass on the damn thing, and I want to fix it.
[Nook Color General] JustisLewis:
So I've been on the Android rooting scene for almost two years now (Original Droid owner), but just recently acquired a Nook. I am running CM7 from eMMC, and want to flash clockwork to make updating nightlies easier. I have been running Clockwork from an SD card. Are there any downsides to running Clockwork from eMMC? Can't I always just remove clockwork and have the stock recovery on there?
[Nook Color General] Taosaur:
I never ran CWM from SD, but I find it very convenient having it on eMMC, particularly as I do shuffle my ROMs and partitions periodically just for experimentation's sake.

What you lose is the ability to use eight failed boots to trigger stock recovery. There are situations where that would come in handy--such as hardware faults in the SD slot or screen that make it difficult to use CWM to flash a stock zip, assuming you have a warranty and want to make a claim on those hardware faults.
[Nook Color General] JustisLewis:
Thanks for the info, I just got this and its refurbished, so I think I may give it a few weeks before making the transition just in case there are any hardware issues.
[Acer Iconia A500] veer01_42:
Iconia A500 3.2 update - Bee with Exclamation sign above.

Im running the update and when the device reboots and as it progresses a honeycomb bee with a triangular sign with an Exclamation mark in it appears...

The installation does not progress any further and i have no idea what to do. I can reset my system but it says update fails and continues on 3.1.

Any ideas/thought/suggestions?
[Acer Iconia A500] luis.cz:
I have the same problem !
[Acer Iconia A500] synapses11:
If you care about root and having CWM installed I would not update to stock 3.2 using OTA. Just grab one of the 3.2 updates in the development thread so you can retain root. But if just want plain stock 3.2 and you have CWM installed, you need to revert back to the stock recovery first otherwise it will fail.
[Acer Iconia A500] luis.cz:
OK, thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] zahni_tue:
Same problem wihout root. Any suggestions what the problem could be? :o
[Acer Iconia A500] profipix:
im thinking if it's because you have a rooted device? I had the same thing. But do not ever update to 3.2 OTA. I would recommend a stock rooted 3.2 in the Development thread. Easy flash. Flying rom.
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
Umm yeah, he clearly stated he wasn't rooted, not to mention it was 23 days ago :rolleyes:
[Acer Iconia A500] fermunky:
Although this is an old thread, I think other solutions for those who were not rooted were to make sure you have an sdcard entered... I think....
[Acer Iconia A500] profipix:
Where did he state that? I haven't seen that.
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
Ya think?

[Acer Iconia A500] david.manske:
My Iconia won't let me restore to any ROM

I installed the Samsung Galaxy Tab firmware 3.1 on my Acer A500 but now it's not letting me change my ROM's anymore

If this isn't posted in the right place please tell me where to post it because I don't know

Please help
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
Just to be clear. You installed a ROM that was made for the GTab, and not made for the A500, or you installed a custom ROM for the A500 based off of the GTab? :confused:
[Acer Iconia A500] david.manske:
I own an A500 but I installed a custom Rom based off the GTab
[T-Mobile LG G2x] OSMANDONATE:
I've own my T-mobile G2X for about three weeks; I really love the phone but I have an issue which I tried to solve through T-Mobile's tech department and they were totally incompetent about it.

The issue is that whenever I try to watch HD videos (480p, 720p or 1080p) on youtube it's very laggy and stutters like crazy. I can watch the videos over the youtube app but the HQ resolution is not even close to the HD over youtube. I have tried to stream these youtube videos over my WIFI network (50mb download speeds) and over T-mobiles 4G and it doesn't matter videos are still stuttering.

My wife bought a HTC sensation and on her device I can watch Youtube HD videos smoothly and with no lag AT ALL. I know the G2X has an NVIDIA Tegra 2 but I don't know why it is incapable of streaming HD videos at all. I was thinking that the issue might be that the flash 10.3 is not optimized to work with the Tegra 2 chipsets; I hope and update can solve this issue or maybe some of you know what it's happening.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jose makalolot:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] OSMANDONATE:
Do you think that if I root the phone this problem is likely to go away then? what do you think I should do? I'm afraid that if I root the phone I'll void my one year warranty but if that helps I'll do it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jose makalolot:
Honestly, rooting may or may not solve the issue. It's always a hit or miss.

Sent from my Calculator with Android.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] OSMANDONATE:
When you watch the youtube videos do you use the android youtube app or do you actually go to the desktop mode of the youtube and select 1080p? I can watch the youtube videos fine as long as I use the app but if I try to stream the videos through the desktop version and select either one of the HD resolutions then is laggy and stutters. The phone works fine it's just that issue. Thanks again!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jose makalolot:
Never trued watching youtube using desktop UA in my phone. I always use youtube app.

Sent from my Calculator with Android.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] OSMANDONATE:
ahhhhhhh......that helped. My guess is that flash 10.3 is not currently optimized for tegra 2 devices. I know for sure that there will be a Flash 11 coming out soon that supposedly is optimized for the Tegra 2 devices. Whenever you have time if you wish try streaming youtube desktop at 720p or 1080p, I just want to make sure I don't have a defective device. I don't know too many people that currently have this device. Again thank you very much for your time (:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fadownjoo:
lol

...it doesnt have the hardware....my atom netbook can barely play 720p streams. I just overclocked my g2x to 1.5ghz max and min, tried 720p on youtube desktop and still had some stuttering.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] OSMANDONATE:
Thank you!!!!! still stutter with 1.5 huh. My wife has an HTC sensation and plays 1080p youtube sources on desktop UA without a hitch. I believe that that the newer flash version will hopefully solve this issue. Again thank you for your help, it was really nice of you to try that for me I really appreciated it. I'll wait until the Ne Flash version arrives in early October (:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
After seeing so many people with LOS issues (myself being one of them) I figured I was due some credit back from Sprint for my trouble. I called and got in touch with a rep who wanted to troubleshoot my phone for the problems. This is my only phone and I explanined that it is a widespread issue and that a large amount of people in forums, including the Sprint forum, are experiencing the same problems. She offered to give me a replacement phone. I explained that it wouldn't do myself, Sprint, or Samsung any favors to replace the phone when it was most likely a firmware/OS/software related issue. She offered to give me a different model. I politely refused and mentioned that I know Sprint is aware of the issue and is most likely diligently working to solve it. I only wanted some sort of reimbursement for the LOS that has happened and may continue to happen until said update arrives. She asked me to hold while she spoke to her superior. When she returned, she said she could give me a $50 credit for the inconvenience. However, if I continue to experience the same problem, they will not be able to offer any more reimbursements. I should then run through any troubleshooting that they ask me to do and possibly get a replacement. She strongly suggested that I take it in for inspection at a sprint store. I may do this. But, I would really like to have a stock ROM to flash in Odin before I do that. I can just hear the tech tell me how it was all the fault of rooting that wrecked the radio.

I would like to stress the point that I was very polite, calm, reasonable, and understanding of what she had to do while speaking to the rep.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
You are giving their average tech far too much credit. Apologies to any in present company...though you likely know precisely what I mean. (If you are here you aren't their "average" guy)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Erislover:
This is a great tip. I'll be calling in tomorrow to describe my LOS, too! (And, of course, I'll be calm, polite, and understanding....)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
They have a set group of questions they are required to ask, troubleshooting that they are required to do, and are not able to offer the type of technical support that you can get in a forum. The corporation will not allow them to. Every call in is recorded and statistics are most likely kept on how to keep the average customer happy with minimal effort. This sets guidelines that are enforced on their employees. Your best bet is to be polite, and kind with them. They have to do their job and as long as you stay politely firm in what you want, generally, you will get your way. Being rude, arrogant, demeaning, or negative with them will only get you a headache and them another ****ty day at work with a story to tell in the breakroom about the last arsehole who called in and thought he/she was "somebody".
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
Oh, I'm well aware of that. Perhaps I should have been more specific in what I was referring to:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamescho72:
You have obviously rooted your phone when many pointed out that zedo causes los. Your noise about phone quality given this fact is just disturbing. I suggest you back off to stock kernal plus root that has fixed los for many including myself. And be honest with sprint that you did so instead of generating fud so they can focus on real issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beejis:
LOS has nothing to do with root.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
You are completely mistaken and are barking up the wrong tree. LOS is happening to many who have not rooted their phones. If you are not experiencing LOS anymore after flashing back to stock kernal, it is purely a coincidence. I have given no "noise about phone quality". You should take a read of my post and read it in full, again. I plainly said that it was a software related issue and that Sprint is aware of it. Sprint and Samsung are working on fixing it. Links have been posted numerous times as to Samsung and Sprint being aware of the problems. Everyone who has said that Zedo's kernal has caused this has been mistaken. People who have never even heard of Zedo's kernal are having the same troubles. Please read read read before flaming. I will not reply to any more ignorant remarks when it is obvious that the flamer has misread the OP, jumped to conclusions, and flew off on a delirious tantrum.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jeffyv2:
So should I call and get $50 too? I haven't lost anything to wanna ask for a reimbursement even if I have LOS all I do is reboot...I'm not losing anything...nothing is perfect
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Silent25r:
LOS was caused for me through rooting. I can't speak for everyone but I can say that it did cause LOS for my device and probably others. You said it was inconvenience for you to have to go through this and mention maybe even taking your phone in for repair. You really can't blame others for assuming you are dealing with the LOS issues. And if you are not I don't really understand why you called Sprint to complain about this issue.

Maybe you should take a longer look at what you posted before deciding rather or not someone misread you. Though, it would probably be a waste of time. You've already proved to be oblivious to the fact that root is causing LOS for a lot of users.

You apparently don't use your phone much for calls and text. My work calls me and will expect me to respond soon. Missing important phone calls can be really costly for me. I have standards, they don't have to be perfect but I do expect it to meet my standards. What is the point of having it if it doesn't?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
Do whatever you feel is ethical. I have lost plenty. I've lost business calls, missed potential appointments with clients, and numerous personal calls. I got the messages late and missed out on money and activities that I would have been involved in if I had the service that I pay a premium to rely on. The $50 doesn't come close to covering that. But, I feel that it is an act of good character that they gave it to me. I wouldn't have called and asked for it, if I didn't feel that I deserved it after being a loyal customer for over 12 years. It shouldn't be my responsibility to have to make sure I look and see if I have service every 5 minutes, when I am in an area that normally gets amazing 4G signal. I'm glad you haven't lost anything and I hope that continues for you.

BTW, I had LOS before flashing anything.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HaiKaiDo:
I havnt done a single thing to my phone other than change launchers and I get LOS. Havnt rooted it, havnt even wanted to yet. This is a real problem and I hope people do continue to call in a try to get money from sprint. If this continues then they might notice, "hey maybe we should fix this problem because its costing us 50 dollars worth of credit per customer that calls in to *****". Obviously that last part is wishful thinking thought. But come on dude, no need to flame someone like that, (especially when youre wrong).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jirafabo:
I'm not on Zedo's kernel and I have LOS. I've had LOS on Stock without root, stock with root, v3 and v5 of ACS's kernel. Only one I haven't had LOS on is Zedo's, and that's cause I haven't tried it. Take your smug ass comments somewhere else.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] djjosh:
I get los at work every time I bend over or kneel down to repair something,and it keeps powering down and back on. But I fixed it by moving my case to the side of my belt. My body blocked the signal and pushed the power button

I almost fell off my chair and **** myself after reading this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] djjosh:
That was not a joke, its true if you have a leather pouch put it on the front of your belt and tie your shoes it will loose signal an probaby sqeeze the power button

OMG! Tears are streaming. Please stop before the convulsions set in.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] djjosh:
It just did it again dangit im trading for a Zio
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eagercrow:
Its not a ROM issue. If you live or travel in an area with ****ty signal you will get it. I had it about 7 times today. I ended up just turning the phone off. Basically if the phone loses signal you have to reboot.

Now I realize that many of you live in your mom's basement, work at the McD around the corner, and have a sprint tower in your back yard so you think the rest of us are crazy. No, the rest of us travel and enter areas where sprint coverage sucks.

Using roam control and leaving the phone on roaming I don't get the LOS unless I get deep into a building and lose the verizon signal.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
I live in a great spot with excellent 4G coverage. I live on my own, work for myself and am kind of crazy myself so I kind of have a right to call others crazy. I am getting the LOS bug randomly and frequently. I have full bars here at home. It just dies and gives the dead circle. It just did it less than half hour ago. It also did it numerous times while working in the field, as well..

Some say that it is fixed by resetting their MSL. Some say they fixed it by flashing a certain kernal. Some believe that if you keister a pine cone and scrub your face with lemon custard that it will fix it, too. None of these things...er...has worked for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
Maybe you should trade in your pouch or get slip on loafers. LMFAO
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bsmoove386:
I havent experienced any LOS and I have been rooted for three days now. It may really depend on where you live. I'm in Michigan and I've always have had good signal with Sprint except at work (where I use a 00001 prl or roam control then good signal again. Before i even rooted my phone though I seen many posts about LOS after root but then i seen many posts about LOS on stock unrooted phones.

Even still it would be beneficial for the epic touch forums to have a more helpful community if ppl at least read the OP's post thoroughly and do a little research before implying something they are not 100% sure of.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] janitorjohnson:
I bought the phone in Arizona and have been on a business trip since through Kansas, Oklahoma, and Missouri and have had the problem in each and every place.

I did call Sprint once and she had me do a battery pull for 2 full minutes while she sent information to my phone/account, then do a profile update and reboot again. This worked for almost 4 full hours before it died on me.

Even when I do have signal and data working it seems very slow.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mlr_90:
Let's defineL LOS. What I've experienced is the circle with a line through it indicating no signal. I've also heard of people talking about losing data connection. I'm just wondering if some of these people who experience a lost data connection are referring to that as being LOS. My problem started with root and lasted until I flashed the stock kernel. Someone mentioned that if you lose signal completely then it won't come back. Mine is fine now even when I lose service in my usual dead spots at work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] janitorjohnson:
I know that LOS is technically the circle of death in the status bar, but there have also been times when non of my data is working because all the connections time out when I actually have pretty good signal. I have also experienced errors sending text messages and making phone calls with signal. I feel that though it doesn't display the circle of death it is still LOS.

That is just my opinion though. I have flashed to a stock kernel, done an msl reset and updated profile. I am running the stock rom. We'll see what happens.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
I flashed the stock kernal last night. I have performed an MSL update, cleared cache and dalvik, and still and getting LOS. Yes, it's the circle with line through it that doesn't go away until I reboot. What people are reporting as fixes are not really fixes. Some of them are even posting that they thought it cleared up, only to return within days. I thought it cleared up on mine for a day, as well. My only hope is that it doesn't turn out to be a hardware issue. A recall on all these phones would be a real kick to Samsung's nuts. I guess it is their fault and Sprint's for not taking the time to control quality, though. Everything else on this phone is so Badass!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jerdog:
Ok Guys - let's put this to rest here and now.

1. Sprint is aware of the issue and have it documented by myself and a few others.

(http://community.sprint.com/baw/message/341145#341145)

2. This is not caused by rooting. Any experience on your part to suggest so is purely happenstance. Many were in such a rush to root that they didn't bother to use their phone long enough in a purely stock state to see this issue. Now I won't say that any actions on your part (flashing a kernel, etc.) couldn't have exacerbated the issue - but it is not caused by rooting. It is a pre-existing condition with the radio firmware that will be resolved soon.

Mmk.?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] irev210:
