If I've learned anything from Microsoft is that they are never too late, they might be behind but that is their strategy, they put out something and then they let us all moan, whine and complain about stuff then they fix it and release it as an update or a new OS. Like with Vista, if you think about it that if it were not for Vista, Windows 7 would never be. I'm glad I did my share of complainig as you can see it paid off they are actually listening to us, don't belive me just check out the new Facebook app. ;)

[Windows Phone 7 General] Will_nonya:
I remember a time long, long ago on a carrier far far away when this little fruit phone appeared, it didn't do half of the things other phone did at the time and there was almost no software for it. Some considered it too little, too late for a market dominated my winmo and blackberry.

In the end these types of comments are just the work of lazy reporters who fail to spot the jems in a crowded and constantly changing market because they're invested in one system or another. It's also easy to jump on the anti MS bandwagon and hedge your bets against the 'New' kid.

I'll move on and enjoy a fantastic smartphone experience and wish them the best with their 'smartphone for dummies'.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
If anything, Microsoft is usually early into everything to the point of being way too early. Smartphones, tablets, smart TV platforms and devices, consumer cloud (few people know that SkyDrive appeared earlier than Dropbox), voice recognition, natural language computer instructions etc.

They do a great job at seeing what the next big things are. What happens next though is the problem. Because they get in early, there's not enough potential in the ideas to become money makers, so projects simmer on the back burner in terms of funding and focus, and marketing skills (in addition to the fact that they don't make devices themselves). Then, when something suddenly takes off, they face immense implementation challenges because their projects are in the wrong lifecycle stages for the market even if they realize early enough that it's the time to move forward.

As regards smartphones, there are a lot of factors that work in their favor and those that work against them. Mass market adoption currently at the early stage and I doubt that any platform apart from iOS has enough loyalty to make switching from it impossible. Turning that possibility into reality is tough though, and it's not just a money question. It needs incentivizing the intermediaries and skillful marketing. The latter isn't something Microsoft is known for.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Will_nonya:
I would take your premise in a different direction. They are often ahead of the trends but one mistake the make repeatedly is releasing technology before its ready. This is one mistake apple rarely makes and it feeds into their respective reputations as far as perceived quality. Every time we think they've overcome this they come out with a windows Me or vista.

The second issue you touched on is marketing. MS traditionally sucks at it and generally rely on their hardware partners for the bulk of it. The problem with that is that hardware vendors want to sell hardware especially when they're running the same is as their competitors.

I think win7 and wp7 are great products and win8 has a lot of potential to shake things up. If MS and their launch partners don't get Win8 off on the right foot with good marketing and hardware implementations the sheer scale of the change could be their undoing.
[Windows Phone 7 General] 937dytboi:
I agree MS has been first to the punch on many things, but its not followed through well. These others come along and use the same technology but they perfect the technology and promote it as a selling point.
[Windows Phone 7 General] deewenic:
I don't think it's too late
[Windows Phone 7 General] rob_p:
Definitely not too late, the smart phone "generation" is still in its infancy in reality. There's still a whole lot more innovation to go before we have truly smart phones. Apple made a great start to it in terms of really getting the revolution going, and Android jumped onto the wagon very well. But it's only the start of what will be a long journey - just look at how long PCs have been around and they're only now looking like their past their peak - so MS is not too late to the party by a long shot.

As someone else pointed out, no-one has taken their offerings to a level where they lock consumers in. Whether anyone will is another debate, but it certainly hasn't happened yet, so there's still all to play for and the market has little loyalty. The key is marketing, so MS has to improve here. The difference for MS this time is that they didn't launch to early with WP7 - they had a lot of complaints to the opposite, but they took time to get it right, so hopefully they are learning from previous mistakes.

Working fine for me. I'm also using the latest update (ViperROM Redline v2.5 RC2). Just checked it, no problems logging in and streaming video.

Maybe you should try turn Wi-Fi on and see if it works. If so, you probably have no signal over there.

As I stated in the original post, I have tried on WiFi, 3g, and 4G all with good signals. I get 1.5 mps WiFi and 4-6 mps on 4G
[HTC EVO 3D] oohaylima:
I think some phones are just sol with the app. At one point in the netflix app release line, I could use it. But somewhere along the updates it became unusable. That's why I just now periodically try it from time to time; hoping whatever that's causing my issue will be resolved.

Are you looking for one? If so, Google 'pete's root tools'. It's about as one click as you can get with the d2.

I was able to root the D2G running a freshly-SBF'd .608 Gingerbread with SuperOneClick. Just google SuperOneClick.

on windows i think superoneclick is about as easy as it gets, as long as you follow the directions about when to enable/disable usb debugging if it gets stuck.

on linux i used the droid3 root tools

[Verizon Droid Charge] cnoevl21:
I know most of the custom ROMs got rid of this, but I put it back on cuz I liked the stock widget, and I ended up liking the weather widget. My question is about the weather widget; anyone using it, when u set it to 'current location' does it change when u go form one place to another or does it locate you that one time with GPS and then just keep showing u that town? Mine is not switching from place to place and I want to see if my settings or gps is messed up or if that is just how the widget is.

YAY i did not know about this!!!

Wow am i excited for the future of Vibrant!

Just Curious, is it mainly due to Neobuddy who has now solved the mute/unmute AND the 911 issue for his own ICS Passion ROM that CM is making a comeback? or did THEY figure it out themselves?

I'm also glad we have a new maintainer Pawit.

Just curious on our situation.

Will we be seeing CM9 or will it be the same ol' CM7

[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
I don't see the point in using CM7. We have ICS Passion, which is on RC1 and stable as hell, has good battery and is fast. I don't think people who have used ICS roms would go back into GB besides for the theming factor possibly.

..what i'm trying to say is..

WHEN IS CM9 OUT!??!?!?!?
[Vibrant General] FaultException:
CM7.2.0 is still a new version for those who want it. You can find an unofficial CM9 KANG here if you want it.

[Vibrant General] FaultException:
No problem :)

Other ROMs get away with it I guess because CyanogenMod is recognized and out there. (Samsung even sent SGS II's to the SGS team with the purpose of getting CyanogenMod on it)

---------- Post added at 11:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 PM ----------

Can't really say whether or not that will happen. I do accept help from them if they're willing though. (A tester already contacted me that has been working with Glitch & onecosmics teams that was willing to help by providing Gps stuff)
[Vibrant General] proxy.ca:
I appreciate all the hard work and hours the devs here log. I don't know how you guys find the time to do this stuff.

I had onecosmics 4.2 on my Telus rebadge SGH-T959D for a bit on the weekend. Volume buttons were reversed and for the life of me I couldn't get service (wouldn't detect any networks) even after flashing to over half a dozen different ICS modems Scrizz posted and trying the CM nightly build kernels, so flashed back to stock.

I was still amazed by how stable and quick the ICS build was otherwise =). WiFi worked like a champ, and the GPS seemed to work as well as before (which is not much at all on the T959D)/ Very much looking forward to what you guys can do in the upcoming weeks.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
Yeah I think one cosmic and Neo teaming with cm team could get us a stable cm9 in no time.

I might for fun and experience. Do you have a link?

It seems to be working on the latest nightly. GPS test is not returning anything for me indoors, but in Maps it can locate my location (with wifi location unchecked)

But I haven't really touched anything Gps on CM7.
[Vibrant General] serendipityguy:
With the New 7.2 hopes that it works.

Thanks for the heads up FaultException, GPS is critical for me and I would just buy or upgrade to another phone but t-mobile has me per contract.

GPS seems to be a hit or miss, after a clean odin, and when it works it only works the first time for me at home, but when I am 46 miles from home in Pasadena, and have no clue how to get back Via the city streets being stuck in Los Angeles, I need GPS.

It seems to depend heavily on WIFI which is fine if you are at home or near the network, but if you are on the 405 . . . .

With the New 7.2 hopes that it works FaultException.

[Vibrant General] thedarb:

[Vibrant General] ruhrohs:
So CM > than the ICS SGS rom?
[Vibrant General] Insomaniac10:
This is a good question...my answer is most definitely yes. More stable and functional

i would guess that the majority of people would say ICS is better for the sole reason that it is new to our device, and a more recent version of Android. Flash-a-holics would rather have the newest thing than stick with stability. This is understandable to a point - i try everything out at least once, but if i can't use my phone to its 100% potential then i well not stick with something out of fear of being left behind. Ill revert back to a stable rom/version and monitor the new stuff until it becomes 100% stable

As far as the new nighties, i havn't tried then yet, but i plan to soon.

Sorry for rambling, my wife is getting haircut and I'm bored out of my fckn mind

I was running CM7 nightly 230 on my vibrant and it was really solid. Still had some of the nagging issues like not being able to hear the other person on incoming calls... But if those kinds of things didn't bother you in CM7.0.1, then the 230 nightly would probably be fine for you. I'm currently trying out a beta build of what I understand will become CM9 for the vibrant and it's looking really good.
