[Vibrant General] ShawtyKING:
Personally, Im pretty sure the phone is going to cost $500+ because the on contract price vs. this supposed on contract price doesn't make sense and this also bucks the trend of previous costs associated with phones of this level.

However, it would be a nice (and courageous) move on TMO's part with this slightly, in comparison, paired down galaxy s model to move units.

Anyway, I thought I would share this sliver of hope with the TMO faithful lol.
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
This just reminds me of the entire "Project Dark" / EM+ debacle where some blogs reported errors/rumors as facts of an upcoming program. So when EM+ came out, the news wasn't that TMO cut their pricing, it was that they didn't live up to the hype that some bloggers posted about false pricing info.

Same damn thing now. People ARE going to be disappointed if they think that in any reality (normal or alternate) TMO is going to sell this phone for $330 without a contract to recoup the cost of the device.

also, this phone is a $750 phone unlocked:

[Vibrant General] gothdroid:
If you look at the T-mobile site now it says "125 down, with 3 monthly payments of 125" thus making the phone in the $500 range
[Vibrant General] larryccf:
as you said, that price has been pulled down, and curently at the bottom of the page is of the info screen (when you go to their web and shop for phones, and then for samsung phones) it shows:

"†On approved credit. $125 down payment, plus 3 monthly payments of $125, required. 0% APR. Taxes & fees additional. Available only at T-Mobile-owned retail stores; see store for details...."

others have reported off contract pricing at $439 / $439 and some at $499

we'll see this week
[Vibrant General] gothdroid:
I was told by tmo to call on tuesday to find out the pricing of the phone
[Vibrant General] iceshinobi:
Im going to try that to find out how much it cost with the Equipment Installment Plan
[Vibrant General] PoisonWolf:
Store rep told me that it'd be at the lowest, similar priced to the HD2 or about 479. She said it won't go any lower than that.
[Vibrant General] siberslug:
The Vibrant is defiantly NOT better in every single way.

The Nexus one Has a Bluetooth car dock, No word about anything like that for the Galaxy S phones.

The Nexus One is made out of much much better materials, The vibrant feels cheap in the hand and the body looks cheap, the only thing on the Vibrant that looks better is the screen.

The Vibrant has no FLASH, How some one could make a High end Android phone without a flash is beyond me, but oh well.
[Vibrant General] chaoscentral:
looks like someones a little insecure :rolleyes:
[Vibrant General] BigWorldJust:
siberslug you mad?
[Vibrant General] siberslug:
Mad, No, I come off as mad ?

I'm just saying it's not better in every way, overall I think it's better in terms of hardware like the GPU, Screen and it's file sharing capabilities.

I would agree with him if the Vibrant was built from better material and had a flash, hell I would call it a Droid and EVO killer if it had a front facing camera in addition to the flash and better material but there is too much missing to call it that.

I just bought this to hold me over until project Emerald comes out in November :D
[Vibrant General] siberslug:
LOL

You got me.

I like big Bad @$$ things to compensate for my short comings lol

A bit disappointed but no not insecure. I will still rub this phone into all the Iphone fanboys faces and be proud to do so !! even though I don't have a flash or front facing camera or an exquisite finish that I could roll around naked on :(

I think what they mean is where they can get the RUU iteslf.

You can find it in one of the stickies in the development forum.

BUT be aware it is not advised to install the RUU directly as it will remove your root and reset your recovery to a useless one.

Instead choose one of the many ROMs based on this update found here at XDA (for example VillainROM12).

If you did install the RUU and want to root it, try the method in the link given by Pulser above.

Car phone warehouse is now selling the STREAK Sim free and unlocked for £429 thats £30 cheaper than dell:)
[Streak 5 General] nobnut:
No, it's just SIM free, not unlocked.
[Streak 5 General] NightFire123:
okay and whats the difference ?
[Streak 5 General] lufc:
This is my long winded story i got a streak on sat from 02 on Sunday i read that dell are selling them unlocked so come Monday i sent the streak back to 02 as soon as it arrived

On Tuesday i ordered one from dell unlocked and they said there was a week waiting list so i went on the list.

NOW TODAY i was looking at a utube video about unboxing the streak and the guy on the vid said he had just gone into CAR PHONE and bought it Sim free and unlocked for £429 so i went on there website and it says on there its locked to 02.

So i phoned up customer services to see if it is locked or unlocked and they assure me it is unlocked Sim free unbranded and it arrives tomorrow morning so we will see then:)
[Streak 5 General] Dogmann:
Hi all,

Well i bought mine the day before release direct from CPW by phone and thought it was going to be unlocked as they say Sim free but until now none of the Streaks from CPW have been unlocked. Usually all phones from CPW are unlocked and Sim free just means you can buy it without a contract in this instance but i bought mine on a Mobile Broadband tariff @£25pm with 3GB of Data per month. I have to say although i had heard horror stories about 02's data speeds it has not been what i have found and am getting just under 2mbps speeds every where i have been.

As for the branding on the Streak well that really is virtually non existent it consists of an 02 splash screen on start up and some Wallpaper pictures of the 02 Dome. The only other thing they have done is set the browsers home page to 02 but that can be changed to one of your own choice as it's not locked to it and can be changed easily.

@lufc

Look forward to hearing if your is unlocked when it arrives as i know many other current users that would love to have an unlocked Streak.

Marc
[Streak 5 General] lufc:
UPDATE !!!!!!

Streak arrived this morning put in my TESCO Sim card and hay presto it WORKED made a phone call and all is well.

So i started to play around a bit about an hour later went to the market to download update for google maps and 10 Min's later it was still not downloading so i turned off wifi and tried to download through 3G and it would not connect,strange i thought,so i got out my VIRGIN MOBILE Sim card and placed that in the phone and hay presto it comes up THIS PHONE IS LOCKED TO THIS NETWORK. Tesco use 02 air waves that is why tesco worked so them B---ards at Car phone lied to me so sorry to every one who said it would be locked i have phoned them back up and they are going to ring me in 10 Min's looks like i will be getting one from dell after all :mad:
[Streak 5 General] Dogmann:
Hi lufc,

No problem you were only reporting what they told you and i really think the problem is calling these units Sim Free confuses everyone most probably including the poor staff member that told you and thought it was unlocked.

That is true, had to take it back to one of there shops and got a refund and know i have ordered from Dell awaiting delivery:)

Hey,

I just picked up my new i9000 today and I want to re-flash it to remove all the bloatware that comes with it from the Telecom that I purchased it from.

Any help or comments would be great.

All good mate ive flashed to F7 and FB no issues, Vodafone works straight away but as normal you have to reconfigure your APN's again for 3G

Did the upgrade, went through fine. Unable to select default,supl as my APN type though. Only have Internet, MMS and MMS + Internet.

Any idea why I cant see this option?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] g00ndu:
The european f/w does not have any pre-installed APN settings. Hence when you press Restore, nothing comes up.

Try to ask your provider what is the apn settings. If not try to google it. Hope that helps.

:)

P/S: I got the Asian f/w but flashed with the europe f/w JFB. I have to set my APN manually. If after setting manually doesn't work, reboot phone. It will work, at least for my case.

I hate the lockscreen slider

When I press "on" I want my phone "on"

And answering calls with the finger slide is a pain in the ass

I thought I would get used to it, but NO

NoLock didn't solve the problem because you still have to slide to answer, and yes your phone goes to homescreen when pressing the ON button, but also when pressing ANY button (including the volume keys which get pressed easily inside my pocket), finally NoLock screws up the notification bar slider

There MUST be a way to answer calls by just pressing an icon or button, without having to slide the finger

There MUST be a way to just press the f*ck!ng ON key and start using the phone

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iead1:
My experience with touchscreen phones is this is a completely silly idea.

Think of all the time the button would get accidentally pressed in your pocket, and the battery life loss while on in your pocket.

I don't know how it works on Windows Mobile, but one would think this would be an even worse problem due to how prolific resistive touchscreens are on WM.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadpoolcommando:
The problem i found with goto is that to answer calls you still have to swype, and when trying to turn off an alarm clock at 7 in the morning its really uncomfortable to use. Other than that its pretty awesome.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devein:
there should be a way to do this, perhaps tinkering with framework-res.apk could do the trick (either enable double click to unlock like in hero, or just simplify the swype movement)

(ive asked about this before)

im just discovering android and x10.

if get desperate enough i'll try to simply replace the relevant files from stock 1.6 firmware ... im gonna reflash anyway for 026 or 2.1 :mad:

worst thing is this lockscreen during call - many times i dont even se WHO is calling.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twentybenson:
I disabled the menu button switching on the phone by editing the file in system/user/keylayout, now only the power button switches it on.

To get rid of the lockscreen would be really useful to me now I've done that...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mezo9090:
i wonder if messing with the framework can do it,

what i really noticed is how GOTO Lockscreen are able to replace the original one 99% of the time while other app like lockbot - which i adorably like - can't do this and instead show two lockscreens over each other

mylock and nolock are of NO USE they are both useless

No app i found can replace the swipe call , and only GOTO can fully replace the standby lockscreen,

i triend most of the lock screens out there but with no use..

btw, Widgetlocker is for 2.1+ right ??
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devein:
Ive tried to use tasker to do this, so far it can react headphone plugged in and unlock the screen automatically (sometimes: /)

I ve tried to test if camera button can be detected during call and then unlock the phone - didnt work - event which supposed to fire on call is not activating.

Also camera button is ignored on locked screen.

By editing the keymap with the FOCUS key the phone wakes up but tasker doesnt handle this key. Perhaps it is possible to write the plugin....

Ah if only we could compile custom kernel.. every problem can be solved when you can cook on your own...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iead1:
Ah, I see.

Still, to me, it seems useful to have that extra layer of security protecting my battery life. Never know how many times that power button will get accidentally pressed in your pocket!

Activating VSync only will not solve your problem because screen tearing is usually caused by a combination of bad video and file access configuration.

To answer your request here is what I found for the VSync registry location (please confirm this):
