Bell Vibrant on Rogers

I have a Bell Vibrant on the Rogers network and can tell you that it is SUPER easy to unlock the phone and use it on Rogers. I would have posted links by I'm new here and that's a no-no!

1. Search "Samsung Galaxy S Free Unlock How-To" on Youtube

2. Enter APN settings for the Rogers network in Settings-->Wireless and network-->Mobile networks-->Access Point Names-->Menu-->New APN

Find these by googling: "Rogers APN"

Good luck!

P.S. -If you do want to root your phone and know nothing about the process (like me), google "[PROGRAM] One Click Root/UnRoot I9000 (Eclair and Froyo) Mac and PC" and follow the steps, it will do it for ya!

I made a switch from a blackberry to a galaxy i9000

I unlocked my bell i9000 and it is now working on my fido network with some problems though.

I am hoping someone can help. I have read for hours searching, my eyes are about to bleed, trying to see if I can figure this out. I have added apns values, all in one single mms and Internet and 2 separate entries. I can not get my out going server working to my shaw mail server using fido.It says it can't connect to server. Email doesn't work.

If any of you could post your settings I would appreciate it. I have tried soo many different combinations, I am ready to take it back to the store.

I am using a blackberry data plan, I was told that shouldn't cause an issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
are you able to browse the internet, and go to Android Market?

it might just be your Shaw email configuration settings, if the internet works for other stuff on the phone
[Galaxy S I9000 General] corman1:
I am able to go to the android market. I phones fido and they are just not interested in giving information. I am positive the email info is correct, perhaps the port in outgoing may be wrong. Any ideas would be appreciated.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
just as i though, so you do have internet connection working properly on the phone.

it is just the email settings that are not setup properly for your Shaw email account.

call Shaw get them to tell you exactly how to connect to their IMAP or POP server address, ports, security, etc

and also ask them about the SMTP login and ports etc.

then configure your email software to use those ports and security required by Shaw
[Galaxy S I9000 General] corman1:
I have a bell unlocked phone on Fido. The email app the is on the main screen is the one I can not get email set up on. Last night I was able to use the "samsung" email app and I was able to get email. Is that other email app ONLY for bell? I doubt it is but who knows. My question is have you been able to use that app for your email or do you use the samsung app?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] corman1:
OK, I got everything working, on the out going to server values I had it check marked to require sign in , that was the mistake . I also added port 25 and now everything is working. Allgamer, thank you for your replies, it got me on the right track. I didn't need to contact Shaw just asked some questions in here and it all worked it's self out.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] juinny:
Hi,

I've got the Bell's I9000m on Fido network.

I managed to add the APN1 as noted on the first page of this thread. I have the H/3G icon but somehow I still have no internet connection. Can't get onto Android market or any internet connection.

I've got the stock OS. Root and unlocked.

Please help.

edit:

Contacted Fido. Apparently there was a data block for my plan. All problems resolved!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
The Samsung Hub email push & IM works for every body, it has noting to do with Bell

i use that as my main email software, it's great! as i can manage all my 15+ email accounts that i keep track of on a daily basis

only works for gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail

i tried adding "others" but it doesn't work when i try to use custom settings for private ISP servers

so your best bet is 3rd party email apps like K9 or something along the lines.

Has anybody haas issues at all with getting multiple duplicates of sent sms messages? In addition to my timestamp issue I sometimes get the same text message 2-3 times within a few minutes. Anybody else seen this?

The timestamp issue can be fixed with an app called sms time fix. As for the duplicate messages im not sure why its doing that.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] juinny:
Horrible Reception

Just wondering if anyone who's on Fido has suffered from horrible reception.

When I first started using the i9000m, I did not have 3G data plan activated. And now that I have, places that used to receive low signals does not seem to get any reception at all. The most irritating place is my office desk.

I'm very disappointed with this and I'm just wondering if anyone else has this problem or if there's a fix. Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
how many bars?

i get reception in almost all places

not sure if you are in GTA

but just for reference even the TTC subway is getting decent reception on those stations like Bloor and other with openings to the surface

like Union even inside the subway car you can get reception until it closes the door
[Galaxy S I9000 General] juinny:
One bar. Sometimes none. Was rather horrified when it had no signal standing in the lobby of my apartment that had a glass rooftop and I live in north york. Anywhere else in the gta gives me full bars though. I just don't understand.

Oh and once in a while, it'll lose signal. Gotta give it a few seconds to gain its signal back.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TotalCrisis:
I've noticed this as well, it's pretty cool!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jonnyczi:
I have this phone on Fido and the signal is absolutely fantastic here in Montreal. It totally kills my iphone 2g, dream and magic who were all on fido. Its like 5 years ago with my Motorola phone on Telus where I got signal everywhere my friends could not.

I will admit tho that in some places where I am cupping the phone I can get the 3g to slow down but not that much.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] juinny:
I really have no clue what's going on or if it's just Fido today (which I doubt). Phone is heating up alot and just opening Google takes a couple of minutes. Sometimes it doesn't even connect. I'm located downtown Toronto on the 25th floor so I'm pretty sure signal isn't a problem.

Help!

I created a AOSP theme for Swype but I can't seem to get it applied. Any pointers?

Edit: All I did was redesign the images in the keyboard asset folder. I tried to use the Swypechanger tool but couldn't get that to work. So right now I have all the needed images just no way of either inserting them into a working APK or updating a current Swype install.. I'd like to test it out for bugs first but it's seems pretty solid.

Just open up astro file manager (it should be included with the rom or it can be downloaded from the marketplace) and browse over to "fresh-removed-apks" find google voice in there and install the apk. Your voice search should now work.

I have just bought my HD2 (upgrading my old HD ) i have loaded Energy and Mir latest ROM's but am getting a real pain problem. as soon as i add a CAB and run a restart the phone just sits at the O2 welcome screen - hours , so it is not a lag of a few mins. only way out is to do a hard reset and get back to the rom start up. If i add cabs afeter hard reset it is the same problem.

Any one have any ideas please, i like the capacitive screen, but can not have a phone this flaky .

Hi

Did you had HSPL on your device? What version Radio you are using?

You need 2.xx.50.xxx radio for most of the custom roms

Check those first.

Good luck

Hello there,

In order to run android on my HD2 i need to have at least 2.08 radio, but currently my radio is lower than that. I am completely noob in this category, I've been always using nokia's so i know how to change the firmware in it, but now I'm the user of windows mobile. Could you tell me how to change the radio so i could run the android properly?

My current specs:

HTC HD2 UK T-Mobile (448 RAM)

ROM version: 1.43.110.2 (70315) WWE

Radio version: 0.04.50.22_2

Protocol version 15.26.50.07U

SPL-1.42.000

I don't want to brick my phone, I know that there is an update on the htc site but it's 1.72.110.4, i've seen somewhere that this rom upgrade gives 2.07 radio.

So what should i do? Should i ugrade my rom using t-mobile rom from htc site or should i use something else to just upgrade radio?

Thanks :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
hspl3 from my sig, then find radio in the radio thread in rom development, , no need to flash a rom to change radio, just flash the radio, no hard reset, no loss ofcurrent data.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dawid.:
Thank you :), but how to install it? Just connect my phone through USB and just follow the steps by clicking next next? Should i backup some files? i mean files which are responsible for radio?

Thank you again :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watcher64:
If you download just the radio, it will only install the radio , no a whole ROM so you will not loose anything, yes it looks just like flashing a ROM but if it is just the radio that is all you get ...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dawid.:
okay, i fallowed the steps and i saw " we hacked it" but when i check my radio it still says 2.04. why? i haven't put any file any where, is that okay?

thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watcher64:
That just installs HSPL so you can install any radio or ROM to your phone, now you have to go get the Radio , download and flash it ...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dawid.:
okay i found this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=611787 but it says flash it using CustomRUU, what does it mean by flashing? just run some exe from the phone? or what?

thanks :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watcher64:
Ok, download the radio of your choice, that is compatible with your phone, extract it to a folder. There is a link on the radio page to download the CustomRUU which is the file you run on your PC ..

Put CustomRUU.exe in the same folder as the radio rom , the nbh file, and then run it, your phone must be connected via usb of course ....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dawid.:
Thanks, but when i was doing HardSPL there was drop down list and i have chosen from there the first one 2.08 , does it mean that i can only flash 2.08 radio? or can i flash this one: Leo_RADIO_15.37.50.07U_2.10. 50.08_2 ** (from KR_1.74.911.2): 4Shared - RS (Mod edit - added 04/21/10 by Digital Outcast)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dawid.:
anyone? come on, don't want to brick my phone
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watcher64:
You chose 2.08HSPL?

if you did that is good ...

All this does is allow you to flash NON-model specific ROMs and Radios to your phone ...

It just bypasses the vendor check ..

It is just the boot loader, has nothing to do with what version of ROM/Radio you can flash ...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dawid.:
So which radio should i use?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watcher64:
Try the 2.10.50 , I have good luck with the 2.12.50...

You are in the UK right?

If so start with the 2.10.50 and see how it does

Are there any full-featured GPS programs available? Some do maps, most do diraections, some do "breadcrumbs". I am looking for something that will do at least MOST of the features of a dedicated GPS...Maps, directions, breadcrumbs, ETA, speed, etc. I really don't care if it's free or paid, but I'm just surprised that I haven't been able to find one (if it exists)

whats wrong with Google Navigation, its arguably the the best full featured GPS Navigation software out and its free.

does it do breadcrumbs, he said he needed that, i have never seen it but would be cool if its there.

[Droid Incredible General] MidnighToker:
One BIG problem with Google Maps is that it sucks up battery juice like crazy (I'm guessing a combination of GPS power and constant internet). I love it for quick and dirty navigation, but just wish that there was something more robust. On WM I had iGuidance, Delorme, etc. Just surprised that there's nothing to compete with them on android.

OruxMaps has an offline mode and can accept maps for offline use in several formats, including KML, which you can download from google maps or google earth.

It can also load your maps in everytrail.com or mapmytracks.com

Like in title, I bought a Kaiser like 2 weeks ago, it was sometimes loosing GSM signal.

Few days later it lost signal completely, I was suprised, because after plugging in the antenna socket a few centimeters of cooper wire I got a preety stable signal.

I tried unscrewing the plastic antenna thingy, polishing the contacts but it isn't working. Now i have a cooper wire plugged in the socket and it's working.

How can i fix my "real" antenna? GSM is working, but not those "original" antenna contacts.

I'm not sure of GPS, maybe it's working but i'm just not getting enough signal without external antenna.

Sorry for my bad english.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Headroom:
A couple of months ago somebody wrote about a similar situation. To sum it up, sticking a wire in the external antenna socket disables the internal antenna & even after removing the wire the internal antenna remains disconnected.
