[Galaxy S I9000 General] nicoloco:
Same thing for the samsung keyborad if you press the 123 field for a long time.

Now we need to find a way to do the same on a web page ...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eaglesteve:
Thanks, but how do I change the keyboard from Swype to the Samsung keyboard? Is this keyboard from Samsung or from Google?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nicoloco:
Just touch the text until you see a pop up.

Then you should have the possibility to change the keyboard
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eaglesteve:
Got it. Thank!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bubbleblo:
Wow, thanks guys, this will make typing a lot easier! You would think the arrowy keyboard thing would be more highlighted and easily accesible since it's making the experience much better. Well, maybe in the gingerbread, they didn't hire the Palm UI guy for nothing...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] oswade:
I find it a little difficult, but can usually get it after 2 or 3 tries max.

Maybe using fingernail is more accurate?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eaglesteve:
Finger nails do not work on capacity touchscreen though. Even if it does, how do you deal with situation where the selection block span outside the screen? There is no provision to scroll the screen during the selection process.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rockky:
HTC Sense Androids have a great copy-paste feature identical to IPhone. Hopefully it can get ported to galaxy
[HTC Aria General] mejohn:
I am admittedly new to the Android world... Is there a clean and simple way to sync my MobileMe services with my Aria (mail, contacts, calendar)? I had heard that you may be able to set it up as an exchange account; has anyone had any success with that?

I really am just not ready to say goodbye to my MobileMe subscription because of the way it syncs so seamlessly with my Macbook.

Thanks!
[HTC Aria General] Il.spooky:
If you figure this out that would be nice. Now if I could only get my drm'd itunes music to play on my phone and to be able to import my playlists... Ahh what a world it would be.
[HTC Aria General] Troggie:
There is an app called iSyncr that is suppose to allow you to sync with Itunes. I have not tried it yet. Not sure about Mobile Me info if that would come through with that app or not.
[HTC Aria General] mwreed:
MissingSync is good for MobileMe syncing (via your mac). It's cost like $40 bucks though.

Double Twist kinda works for music.

Android really wants you to be in the google world so if you don't want to pay for MissingSync you should sync up your MobileMe with your Gmail account.
[HTC Aria General] psychoace:
I'm sure if you look for separate methods of exporting certain items of mobile me you eventually find everything you need. I don't think there is a one stop app that will export it all from the cloud. I also don't think its possible to access your mobile me account from any other phone the apples. They probably have it locked down to Apple computers and Apple apps which are never going to be made accessible from apple. They really force you into staying with them by playing these games
[HTC Aria General] khaytsus:
Not going to happen. Pay iTunes to convert your DRM'ed itunes music. Anything since something like 2008 should already be non-drmed. Then it'll play.

As mentioned in previous posts, isyncr should then take care of syncing the songs in a given playlist to your phone. I need to get my wife to do this so she'll stop moaning about not having her music..
[HTC Aria General] psychoace:
This post is not about syncing music its about all the mobileme functions like email, calendar and such.
[HTC Aria General] ayush20m:
Android does it without any need to pay for such a service. You can sync your google cal, almost any email and contacts from google too over the air.
[HTC Aria General] Tikerz:
If you don't already know MobileMe mail works fine through the Mail app.

As far as syncing contacts and calendar, there's not a direct way but a roundabout way through Gmail. I set up my Address Book and iCal app on my Mac Mini to sync with MobileMe and Gmail. So whenever I'm on my Mac Mini it syncs everything among the three of them.

Then I just setup Gmail contacts and calendar sync on the phone. So when you make an update to your calendar through iCal or Address Book, it will sync to Gmail also and back through to your phone.
[HTC Aria General] khaytsus:
... Thanks for that observation, Captain Obvious. I was responding to the message which, of course, I quoted in my post, and is also above for your convenience.
[HTC Aria General] Rock3nrenigade:
Have iCal / Address book sync with your google account... This way everything stays in sync.
[HTC Aria General] mejohn:
Thanks everyone! I saw that you can pull MobileMe into Outlook so I thought there would be a simple method.... Im an all in one kind of guy. I guess i just have to start thinking of a new username as my @me isnt available...

Oh and by the way, swapped the Aria for the Captivate... Im in love with it! (besides the laggy and strange UI)
[HTC Aria General] anika200:
It seems you have moved to another method but here is the way you keep mobileme and android in sync. Its pretty simple. You need a gmail/google account so that you can sync your calendars and address book on your phone and mac. Now, go into your prefs for ical and add a new google or CalDav account and enter your gmail user name and password. Thats it for the calendars they should now sync. You will have to read up on caldav and the way google and ical interact but it does work perfectly here. Next open address book preferences and click on account and then click "sync with google" enter your info and thats it. Every thing should work pretty much as expected. There are a few gotchas to address book which will make you want to cry but eventually you get used to then and give up crying. Hope this helps.
[Vibrant Accessories] flexnix:
So far I'm only seeing the one for the UK Galaxy S.

http://cgi.ebay.com/Silicone-Case-C...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item2c55b58060

Shows the flash hole. I might grab it though either way to protect the Vibrant once its released on Thursday.
[Vibrant Accessories] siberslug:
I hate those, I like the crystal cases like this

http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-Samsung-Gal...Accessories&hash=item19bdd032ba#ht_2656wt_930

I like them because there not super soft and flimsy. those fall off easy.

The crystal cases are a firm jelly type material and don't take up so much of the edge

And that's a speaker hole not a flash hole

I'll let you know if it fits my phone
[Vibrant Accessories] larryccf:
you can go to the Gmarket (korean ebay) and see more

zenus cases seem to be the dominant galaxy case maker - on ebay do a search for "zenus cases" - have no idea why the seller titled his listings the way he did, but they don't show up under any samsung or samsung galaxy S i9000 search - i've ordered one of the zenus silicone cases

you can also do an ebay search under "samsung vibrant" and it'll pull up entirely different results as well
[Vibrant Accessories] Maverick777:
The only problem with buying the Zenus cases at the moment is that it'll take awhile to ship here since they are coming from South Korea. Some users on MoDaCo report delays in shipping. FYI on the Zenus cases, the hole in the top corner is for their TV antenna. (lucky koreans)

Let me know what your experience is like. I'm debating between getting a Zenus case or waiting for Amzer to release their cases. Amzer's website shows shipping dates in August.
[Vibrant Accessories] jblade1000:
i ordered the zenus silicone (black) and bar type leather case (black n blue). Hopefully they get here realtively soon, but in the meantime i have other leather holster/cases from PDAir to hold me over, so I'm not overly concerned.
[Vibrant Accessories] 2071:
i'd love to hear how that case works out for you, i have a friend in korea and she's gonna keep an eye out for that case as well as others for me.
[Vibrant Accessories] heygrl:
I wonder how the T-Mobile gel cases will feel? I'm thinking about getting one to tide me over until I order one of those gorgeous Zenus leather back covers.
[Vibrant Accessories] larryccf:
i figured 3 weeks for delivery (just a guess) so hopefully will be here late this week or early next
[Vibrant Accessories] flexnix:
When did you order it? Yeah let us know and some pictures as well. Seems like a better product than what I originally posted.
[Vibrant Accessories] jblade1000:
yeah the main reason i pulled the trigger (other than that it looks like really good quality and design) is that over on vibrant forum on the official tmo site, they confirmed that dimension wise, our phone is identical to the international version including the back hump, so everything should line up fine as far as most accessories go (car docks, home docks, etc)
[Vibrant Accessories] s15274n:
I picked up the gel case from T-Mo since they were giving me $40 in accessories. I actually really like the feel of it... It's all black and looks sleek on the phone.

I imagine I'll pick up a seidio SP and call it a day.

ANY WORD ON THE SCREEN OF THESE PHONES? I HAVE NOT SEEN A SCRATCH TEST VIDEO.
[Vibrant Accessories] jblade1000:
Screen test -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3by5u9ax2EU

Also for others, wanted to let you know i was notified my cases shipped yesterday afternoon so I'm assuming they'll be here relatively soon
[Vibrant Accessories] justadude:
I picked up the very same case, it looks like the Zenus cases that were on eBay. Feels great, fits snug and it doesn't get in the way of typing or using any of the buttons.
[Vibrant Accessories] down8:
I took the rubber case from TMo also - I like it, too. Now to find a good screen protector....

-bZj
[Vibrant Accessories] ryan562:
fommy.com is beginning to sell more cases for the vibrant but none will ship out until early august.
[Vibrant Accessories] mattaviles5:
Im actually very surprised by the Tmo phone case. Normally their cases are very flimsy or poorly made but I went ahead and got this one just for now, but im really diggin it. I think it might just stick with me as long as the phone does..who knows.
[Vibrant Accessories] ArcticWolf91:
Does any one know where to find a good crystal case? You know those hard/soft plastic cases?

[Vibrant Accessories] priide:
Any one know if the T-mobile case comes in white? I really liked the feel and look of the case and think it would look damn sexy in white.
[Vibrant Accessories] s15274n:
^ my store only had black...
[Vibrant Accessories] priide:
Thanks for the reply any idea if you can find out if they will be coming out with a white one?
[Vibrant Accessories] flexnix:
Can someone take 3 angled shots of the T-Mo case. I'd like to see it. :)
[Vibrant Accessories] Maverick777:
My store also only had black and it was the only accessory they had for it. I'll take some pics when I get home. It's not a dust magnet, but it does collect some. I may return it if I find a hard case soon.
[Vibrant Accessories] LatinSilEighty:
probably not but look for them to have more cases and accessories after the official drop date aka the 21st
[Vibrant Accessories] jblade1000:
my store had 0 accessories for the phone, not even these gel cases you all speak of. The rep did mention that since the original launch date was the 21st she expected to get stuff in next week for it
[Vibrant Accessories] teknx:
I just came back from my t-mobile store to buy the black gel case after reading s15274n's post.

I must say it is a pretty nice case. It adds some weight to the phone which I think is a good thing. The case doesn't make the phone heavy, but the weight just feels right. Without the case, the phone was too light and the plastic housing gave me the feeling like it might slip out of my hand. But with this gel case, it feels sturdy now and has a good grip. I was worried that the gel grip would make it difficult to take the phone in and out of my pocket, but thankfully that hasn't been an issue at all.

At first I didn't like the look of texture pattern on the phone, but now that I look at it, it seems pretty cool and I guess it actually has the functionality of allowing allowing better grip than just a regular smooth surface (I may be wrong on this point though.)

One of the most unexpected features of this case is probably the best one. The power/lock on the side of the phone is too small and cumbersome to press, in my opinion. But once I put on this case it seems much easier to press since the case protrudes out a little bit and requires much less pressure to press the button in. This makes locking/unlocking the screen much less annoying as it used to be.

*Make sure to call ahead before you go to the store, I called and the rep and was told me there was only one left, so I drove over and picked it up.
[Vibrant Accessories] flexnix:
I called about 8 T-Mobile stores here in Miami. I found one with 3 cases. Grabbed one. Real nice case. Just stay away from the screen protectors. Biggest piece of **** ever. LOL.
[Vibrant Accessories] WilliamStern:
Where in Miami were you able to find one? I've been looking around for a case, but no luck.
[Vibrant Accessories] StefanB86:
Im in Miami too (Miami Lakes), going to call a few T-Mobile stores tomorrow and see if i have any luck with it. How much does it cost?
[Vibrant Accessories] down8:
Was $16 in the Fremont, CA, store - not a steal, but not unreasonable either.

-sent from my Samsung Vibrant via XDAapp
[Vibrant Accessories] flexnix:
$16.99

Not bad at all.
[Vibrant Accessories] schnem:
and

T mobile gel case
[Vibrant Accessories] StefanB86:
That's a good price, im getting one soon, thanks!

Not bad, i like it... :)
[Vibrant Accessories] spigatelli:
I just got back from the T-mobile store and they had a few in stock. Like some others have said, I don't love the pattern on it, but I like the grip, and it is not super "sticky" like some of the icrap cases. I also think that the biggest bonus is the fact that it makes the power button WAY easier to use. Great case for the price!
[Vibrant Accessories] BigWorldJust:
It's $16.99 for one gel case? I could've sworn I saw $6.99 in my store.
[Vibrant Accessories] StefanB86:
Yeah $16.99, two people have confirmed this, one from California and other one from FL, so im sure this is the correct price for the gel case. :)
[Vibrant Accessories] spigatelli:
+1 from Texas
[Vibrant Accessories] BeverageNinja:
Picked up my phone day one and the Tmo store had already sold out of cases. They received 50 phones and only 8 cases. Store rep said it was a quality case and fit the phone very well. After calling around found a store that had three in stock. When I got to the store they had one left. The rep let me try it before buying and and once I put it on the phone I didn't want to take it off. The case gives the phone a little bit of heft which I like and fits well in my pocket. I would say if you can find this case, get it.
[Vibrant Accessories] gthmcty1:
I'm not one for gel cases but the tmo case is actually really nice it feels sturdy and fits the phone snug
[Vibrant Accessories] israel941:
same one pictured by schnem? i'd like to have a bit more heft, but does it make it too thick?
[Vibrant Accessories] down8:
It is still thinner than my G1 by ~2mm.

-bZj
[Vibrant Accessories] SykesAT:
IMO it does make it too big. Not so much in thickness but width. With the T-mo case it starts to become a two handed device. Even without the case my thumb can't reach all four corners without moving my hand, the case makes it even worse. I know its only a couple of MM but when you add that to each side and the back suddenly the phone has grown a fair amount.

But its very subjective and the case certainly is made well and will provide a good amount of impact protection.
[Vibrant Accessories] SykesAT:
double post, could not see how to delete.
[Vibrant Accessories] darkknight49:
yea, i have one too. its quite good actually, especially for the price. Certainly adds some grip to the slippery phone.
[Vibrant Accessories] new_guy:
are there any pictures of the front of the phone with the case? thanks
[Vibrant Accessories] ScooterG:
Here you go.
[Vibrant Accessories] SykesAT:
Just wanted to post a couple of pics of the Vibrant naked, with T-mo jell case and G1 for comparison.
[Vibrant Accessories] larryccf:
and speaking of the devil, my zenus gel case just arrived -

i like it - it's not as thick as the gel case i had for the MT3G, and isn't as "grippy" or non-slippery as the silicone case on the MT3G was, so it'll be easier getting in/out of the pockets, and being somewhat thinner doesn't appreciably increase handhold dimensions - at 4" display size, this phone was what i consider my comfort level for size

but the little detail that caught my attention on this gel case is the area over the volume rocker button and the screen on/off button

instead of a cutout or opening that i figured would be a minor inconvenience having to either push real hard to get down to the button or using a finger nail, the zenus gel case, instead of an opening, has a built up block of gel/plastic or silicone right overtop of the particular button, so you push on it and it transfers the action directly down to the real button. It's actually easier to operate those buttons (especially the dispaly screen on/off button which is so small i was having to use my fingernail on - now i can easily locate it without looking and operate with the pad of my finger).

as it was a case ordered for the i9000, it has the TV antenna cutout in the upper right corner, and i can confirm it fits the vibrant fine, IRRESPECTIVE of the .3mm difference in length than the vibrant

and it is a dust magnet - static electricity seems to be the factor
[Vibrant Accessories] renegadedj:
off-topic:

thanks for the SoundHound app hint. ;) never heard of this app but it is AMAZING thank you thank you

on-topic: think i'm gonna try the zenus case. looks useful
[Vibrant Accessories] larryccf:
that "button" feature i described - just went and looked at a couple of the links i had saved to other gel cases (in case this one didn't come in) and those had the same button covers

the zenus was the first one out, then a second one that was really a thin plastic skin, and that one had cutouts
[Vibrant Accessories] StefanB86:
T-mobile Gel cases has the same "button" feature.
[Vibrant Accessories] parkee99:
Yea, I really like the t-mobile gel case.
[Vibrant Accessories] ashura3:
I just got my Zenus black silicone case for the original Galaxy S from ebay and, tbh, it kind of sucks. It's not as tight as it could be so if you're prone to sliding your finger close to the edge of the screen like I am, you'll very often catch the edge of the case with your finger and make a small snap. The power button is a little more difficult to hit. And the case is a dust/lint magnet. I'll keep it on for protection for now but I'm holding out for a nice, sleek (hopefully casemate) case that'll give the Vibrant a more HTC-esque luxury phone look.
[Vibrant Accessories] jblade1000:
just wanted to say, my cases came in about an hour ago (ordered them on Jul 12th). I posted in the i9000 thread since technically its an i9000 accessory lol Posts 259 and 260 in case your interested.
[Vibrant Accessories] mattaviles5:
How did that Crystal Case ever work out?
[Vibrant Accessories] PathogenX:
The Azmer cases are exactly the same as the Tmobile cases I created a thread about it here go check it out! and its only $10. LINKY
[Vibrant Accessories] stray42:
I just purchased the one from Amazon for 10 bucks. I had free shipping with Amazon Prime! Huzzah! It seems to be decent. Here's the link: amazon.com/Premium-Silicone-Cover-Samsung-Vibrant/dp/B003XNGY2Y/ref=pd_rhf_p_t_1

I have the tmo case but interested in hearing about the samsung one with blue graphics and galaxy s on the back of it? I also have a cheap neon green one coming from china...but real curious about the sammy one!
[Vibrant Accessories] MV10:
Thanks for posting this -- I received ours today and they're really nice cases.

Can't argue with 99 cents plus $2 shipping from the other side of the planet!
[Vibrant Accessories] frankencat:
Not.

I've looked for a while but I can't find a plain black silicone case that doesnt have some goofy texture or logo, and doesnt turn the phone into a lint/dust magnet. Does anyone know of one?

This. I want one like my OEM BlackBerry cases I always used with my various BBs...

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] MeteoricManiac:
I am getting rid of my ghetto prepaid phone and I want to buy an HTC tilt. However I am on a strict budget so I want to go the T-mobile prepaid route. Does anyone here use this service (particularly the unlimited messaging for $15 a month) and can comment on its quality?

Obviously since I am here I want to update the phone to a nice custom rom or maybe Android. I have been reading a lot in the Android forum, but I have yet to learn if any of the versions work completely and are suited for daily use on the tilt. Are they? How about the WM roms, what are the most stable ones?

Lastly I want to use the GPS function on this phone but I don't want to get a data service. Are there any good map programs (free or otherwise) that will work with the GPS but that don't require an internet connection?

I apologize if I asked any stupid questions, but the wiki is not working and its difficult to find information from Google searching this forum, though I tried.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ogrenator:
I couldnt tell you about T-mo's service but I have an unlocked Tilt from ATT with WinMo 6.5.3 on it...build 23557 with Mobile Shell running over top of it and its rock solid and super quick for such an old phone...actually makes me miss it even though I now use an EVO..as far as the maps go I have TomTom on the SD card with USA map on it and it works flawlessly with no need for a data plan
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] MeteoricManiac:
Thank you very much for the reply you have helped me a lot.

Does anyone know how much faster a stable build of Android (like a quality Donut release) is compared to a stable version of WM?

Now I just need to find a good quality pre-owned Tilt. Too bad I can't access the marketplace here. :(

You can do both with CyanogenMod. Or you can just replace the images in framework-res.apk
