Can you post screenshots of the launcher? I think we'd all like to have an idea of how it looks before we download it.

:)
[Android Apps and Games] plum171:
screen shots

attach the screenshots.
[Android Apps and Games] Cry Havoc:
So what, exactly, is special about this launcher?
[Android Apps and Games] Pdauser92:
I like the concept. Great for users migrating from the iPhone, or those that want a simple interface. I downloaded it from the market last week, and have been playing around with it.

It places all your applications on a series of home (application) screens when first installed. You are then able to add up to 3 widget screens, which are placed to the left of the application screens. You can re-arrange your applications by grouping them into folders. These folders as well as your applications can be placed anywhere other than the widget screens, in any order. It doesn't have an apps drawer and so your wallpaper is visible at all times.

heyy dude!! I think itz too simple... i think an app drawer wid 3D wd b gud... N sum custom icons wid gud transition effects wd b gr8!!

Very nice.

Having an iPhone, this looks and feel just like it. Keep up the good work.

Meh. The ui is boring and ugly lol.
[Android Apps and Games] brucemcl:
I tried vlauncher the other day, from the Market. What it does, it does well. I would like to see it do more. Here are my two suggestions:

1. Allow shortcuts and bookmarks on the Widget pages. In the standard Android launcher, is very convenient to get to battery use or a weather bookmark with one press of an icon on the screen.

2. In your settings, have an entry for the column and row sizes. On the 7 inch screen of my Nook Color I would like more than 4 columns and 4 rows of icons on each screen.

If you add these two features I think I could use vlauncher every day.
[Vibrant General] gsvnet:
As many people here are probably aware of...the Nexus One had some 3G reception problems on T-Mobile. How is the Vibrant working out for those who have it (or get it today)?

EDIT: I'm not here to argue about whether or not the N1 had 3G reception issues. I'm really just interested to hear about the Vibrant's 3G performance in real world use. If you have a vibrant please let me know how it is for you. Thanks!
[Vibrant General] chaoscentral:
will let you know in about an hour and 10 minutes. I have had 2 different HD2's in the past 3 months, the first one had a consistent 5 bars of 3G at my house, and my last one would average 2-3, so I'm hoping the Vibrant will be more like my first hd2 in that regards lol
[Vibrant General] gsvnet:
sounds good. will wait to hear about it. this was my biggest gripe with the nexus one, so hopefully it is better in this phone.
[Vibrant General] temperbad:
N1 does not have reception issue... its tmobiles coverage .. it does the same to my tp2, tmobile dash and I even saw the galaxy doing it in poor signal... in strong area it wont even drop a bar...

And galaxys antenna is at the bottom like the n1...

Check video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LROTHrTR92k&feature=player_embedded#

And here's my tp2 doing it.... its tmobile and of course covering it. Together is the issue.. forgive the language in the video..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Eo7uFtAKDY
[Vibrant General] gsvnet:
I'm not referring to what happens if you're in poor signal area. I'm talking about average signal areas where you have decent 3G and very good EDGE reception. The N1 loses 3G reception when held in a specific way, or often defaults to EDGE while other phones such as the G1 hold onto 3G just fine. I've tested this thoroughly, and am quite certain of this.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
^ I have both, an N1 and G1. You are either very unlucky or full of $hit.
[Vibrant General] gsvnet:
Wow, seems like you need to grow up a bit.

These are my observations, and the N1's signal simply wasn't good enough for me to keep the phone. I no longer own it. I'm not the only person who has had issues with the N1's signal in comparison to other phones. It is true that you can hold many phones in a specific way to drop signal, but on the N1 holding it in a natural way causes a drop, which is a pretty big issue - at least it was for me.
[Vibrant General] temperbad:
Watch my vids, most phones do this. Just cause ya got full bars 3g doesn't make it a strong signal.....
[Vibrant General] gsvnet:
I've tested this firsthand and don't need to watch any videos. natural use of other phones results in better 3G reception than natural use of an N1. unless you're actually *trying* to hurt the signal on a G1, it's not going to happen easily. That's my experience, anyways. By the way, I use the actual dbm's to measure the signal, not just bars. To say that "full bars" is not strong signal is actually pretty ignorant anyways. Generally full bars is a minimum of around -90dbm which is definitely a good signal. It differs a bit based on how they are calibrated on a particular phone, but this is an approximate rule.
[Vibrant General] temperbad:
I've read the issue .. I've owned a n1 for 6 months. The issue is tmobile not the phone... I.e. my videos. They do the same.... Its tmobile.. and partially bad antenna placement but its ultimately the poor signal That causes your hand to deflect signal... and from the video the sgs has the antenna in the same place as then1
[Vibrant General] temperbad:
Ignorance is starting a thread about signal and not watching vids people post to help you out... one of them vids is the galaxy s... your answer is in that video
[Vibrant General] gsvnet:
You can point figures at T-Mobile all you want but I constantly have 3G on a G1 in a lot of places where I didn't on an N1 (tested different radios as well, with similar results). The same goes for my Nokia N900, which I can't deplete the signal by the way I hold it no matter how much I try.

It is true that T-Mobile uses the 1700/2100mhz bands for 3G, while AT&T uses lower bands (850/1900mhz). The lower bands are less susceptible to interference like this, and that's probably why the issue wasn't very noticeable on the AT&T version of the N1. However, a properly designed phone will not have as much of a problem on T-Mobile's network as the N1, especially when you're holding the phone in a natural way, and not an obtrusive way.
[Vibrant General] temperbad:
I thinks its both. But safe to say if we had better signal I.e. building penetration we would never see the issue...past this.. back to sgs

Please watch the video. The first one shows the same as how the n1 was. Imo the antenna is in the same spot. So that may help you out on your question
[Vibrant General] gsvnet:
That's the Galaxy S, not the Vibrant.

The Galaxy S had issues with GPS signal, so far reports are that the Vibrant does not. Clearly there are some changes to the phone in that case. It could be an updated firmware. Thus I can't go by issues that the Galaxy S has, as the Vibrant could very well be different - especially considering that video seems to be from a completely different network operator/country, with different network characteristics, etc. On the other hand, on the N1, the 3G reception issue was a widespread problem, even recognized by Google to some extent - though they never did 'truly' fix it. I'll be the first to say the N1 is a really nice phone, even today - a good 6 months after its release. But it isn't quite as good as other phones in 3G reception, which I determined after owning the phone for almost three months.
[Vibrant General] gsvnet:
These are the frequencies that T-Mobile was allocated, and they are not the only carrier using higher bands for 3G. It is the job of the phone manufacturer to develop a device that is optimized for the frequencies the intended network uses. The N900 is an example of a device that does really well in this area, the G1 isn't too bad either. In creating this thread, I was hoping to hear about actual usage of the Vibrant on T-Mobile's network, so how about we leave the thread to just that?

Thanks.
[Vibrant General] temperbad:
Its a fact tmobiles 3g doesn't penetrate buildings as well. I don't care what phone you have...

Anyways. I'm saying the antenna is more than likely at the bottom as well. So you may be getting n1 issues... anyways I'm done. Your pretty set in what you believe ...

Hope its well for you...
[Vibrant General] gsvnet:
When did I argue anything about building penetration? Of course it's not as good as some other carriers, due to the higher frequencies in use. However, some phones handle this better than others, and I created this thread to learn about the Vibrant's 3G performance. You came here and began arguing over practically nothing, without any experience of the Vibrant yourself. And as 'heygrl' pointed out, you're clearly going out of your way to deplete the signal on the TP2, holding it an unnatural way. Thus the video is not really relevant.

Thanks. Glad to see somebody who knows what they're talking about.
[Vibrant General] temperbad:
hows that a unatural way? people hold the top alot, think about holding it in landscape, if your holding it with your left hand, your gonna cover the antenna even more so than I was especially typing.. HOW was that Unatural. LOL Thats how you hold your phone....

Edit: and what consists of Unatural? lol Its a 4 inch device, your hands are gonna cover it no matter how hard you try and avoid it... Once again hows holding it at the top vs bottom unatural?

So basically since im holding it at the top vs bottom Im holding it wrong. lol
[Vibrant General] gsvnet:
Whatever you say - I've used a T-Mobile TP2 (in areas with slightly sketchy 3G) and didn't notice this problem. I'm not saying it doesn't exist, but under my usage I didn't see this. I don't see it on a G1 or N900 either.

Anyway, I don't care about the TP2 - I'm concerned with the Vibrant, so let's see what people have to say in terms of real world usage.
[Vibrant General] larryccf:
there's a 78 page thread w/about 3300 posts on google's nexus one support forum that refutes your assertion that it's Tmo's signal or coverage - when the AT&T versions came out, they had same issues

Guys I know I'm new here but I just got a Vibrant and am very curious to hear what others are experiencing...

There is a place for N1 debate, but it's not here.

Could someone briefly explain both dBm and asu and how they affect voice or data signal? What is operating range for each?
[Vibrant General] gsvnet:
I agree, and I had never intended this thread to be for an N1 debate. Anyways, here's one user's experience:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7198270&postcount=4

they say it is working better than the N1, in their situation.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
Overall its better than samsungs ive had in the past but it could be better. Postibg from tthe gone so ill get more in depth in a bit.
[Vibrant General] badaphooko01:
Been using the Vibrant since this morning. With my G1 I could 1-2 bars in some areas of the house and the phone was useless in others. I knew if i walked outside too my front porch i could get up to 3 bars sometimes and possibly an edge signal. With this phone I can't get any bars in my house and I have to walk to the end of my driveway to get one bar, mind you my drive way is 200' long.

This sucks, I hope its something they can fix with firmware update. I don't know if I can live with no service anywhere near my house. I have 14 days to see what will happen.
[Vibrant General] kolyan:
people are posting mixed results on reception........some say it sucks, other say its much better then N1...

I guess I will never know until I get mine....

All I know is that if the signal is ****tier then N1, I am 100% returning this phone..........its too many sacrifices
[Vibrant General] lpaddikt:
I've had the Vibrant for two days now and the reception really has been an issue because it does cut out. There are all these talks of the grip of death or whatever but if you hold it like you would just to browse in portrait mode, it definitely starts to lose reception. I am waiting out these next 14 days too to see what happens or else I am returning mine also.
[Vibrant General] unxconformed:
Reception for me has been poor. My last phone was a G1, just for reference. I can't get any signal at work anymore and can barely get 3G in my house. Also, whenever I hold my phone at home, the 3G drops because the signal get's attenuated and I am stuck with 2G. On my G1 I had better signal everywhere...
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
The 3G drops because it's much weaker than your 2G signal. I've had a G1 and it was just as bad as the iPhone at my house. It was nothing special for true low signal areas because the antenna is still mediocre.

I'm extremely happy with the 3G performance on my Vibrant. I know my local network well enough to know where 3G and 2G coverage doesn't overlap and the Vibrant handles this good, but it will switch over to a weak 3G signal a little too easy and the data session doesn't transition properly all of the time under this situation.
[Vibrant General] temperbad:
Coming from a n1 the antenna is about the same. Yes covering the antenna results in signal drop but so did my n1...but only in poor signal area like the n1....

Difference is it would take forever to go on 3g on the n1 where as the vibrant holds it a lot better... I would have to force 3g on it a lot where the vibrant just picks it up...

So imo the vibrant holds a better 3g signal than my old n1....

I also think the bars read wrong on the vibrant...
[Vibrant General] gsvnet:
So out of all phones you've used, which performs the best on TMO's 3G network for reception?
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
A good contender would be the Motorola CLIQ but it seems like with every subsequent baseband update the 3G reception got worse. It switches over to EDGE a lot easier than the Vibrant too but you can lock it on W-CDMA and avoid this. It's still better than nearly all of the 3G phones I've had with T-Mobile.

Without an accurate reading of the signal strength to compare with and from where I've taken it over the past few days I'd like to say that the Vibrant is right up there but not any better. If you do get one I'd like to know your experiences with the Vibrant's reception so I contrast them with what I've seen, because someone is bound to have a different experience. I took the Vibrant to an area with a new 3G fill in tower and it picked up 0 bars, where my CLIQ picked up 3 bars at -105/101dBm and generally speaking below -100dBm is where the Vibrant goes to 0 bars.
[Vibrant General] setzer715:
Ok, there is a lot of talk about frequencies, building pennitration, att vs tmo so I'm going to clear a little bit up for you.

ATT does use 850/1900 but most of thier 850 is used on GSM (2G) and they use 1900 for UMTS (3G) which is Half Duplex mode. They do NOT use both bands for 3G in the same area as I just stated they use Half Duplex. Half Duplex means that when the phone is transmitting it is not recieving and when its recieving it is not transmitting.

T-Mobile uses 1900 for GSM and 1700/2100 for 3G in FULL Duplex Mode. This is better for faster data rates and will come into play once thier 3G network is fully deployed (meaning speed too, not just coverage).

Building pennitration: It is a fact that higher frequncies do not pennitrate as well as lower so yes, ATT's 1900 areas will be slightly better and thier 850 areas will be significantly better.

Signal Bars: The cell phone does an algorithmic calculation to show bars verses dbm for signal. Its a graphical way of showing people what thier coverage is without needing to know numbers. To see your actual dbm you should download/install RF Signal Tracker from the market. When your phone is idel (not being used for phone calls) the phone is actually seeing the BCCH (Broadcast Control Channel) channel of the cell site which is always transmitting at full power. This means you will see more bars. When you put up a phone call the call is handed off to a TCH (Traffic Control Channel). The TCH uses power control which means that it only uses maximum power necessary to maintain a call and will power up and down as it needs. So, if you make a phone call and you see your phone drop from 5 to 3 bars, that is normal. Your phone also has power control and will power down and up (for battery life) depending on what the cell site tells it it needs.
[Vibrant General] gsvnet:
I don't see where any of my statements were inaccurate.

This has changed quite a bit. A few years ago, you would be correct. But not anymore.

http://cellphoneforums.net/att/t294078-t-3g-going-850-mhz-2010-nationwide.html

3G is on 850 in many major areas now, including NYC. Right now, in a lot of areas, AT&T has extremely strong 3G signal - better than most other carriers. Now of course a strong signal doesn't mean it's going to be fast.
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] teriero:
I want to use an alternative program to handle contacts and calls(dialers).

I tried a few that truly support the Mega and I would like to purchase the full version of one of them (For example, Resco Contact Manager, Phone Ex.)The program activated by pressing headset button and turns the dial (dialpad) or a list of contacts from which you can directly connect.

But when I choose a contact from the program,or directly dialpad-together starts at the default oem dialpad WM. After finishing connection is always on the oem default dialer. Only when I push x or arrows the phone returns to the used program.Is it possible to show off the oem dialer and connect directly with the program?

Greetings

what is an odexed rom?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
odexed means that the service framework is packaged for a specific device.

That also blocks any attempts at theming it.

de-odexed means that everything gets cached on your device the first time you boot it. And this also allows for theming of the framework.

As I and some other Users couldn't get an answer to this, I decided to get a new Thread for this and I am hoping for an answer.

After a while I'm having problems with multitouch. Suddenly, multi touch stops working and stops pointing at the right places or shakes the Sense windows until I reset my device. Sometimes even reset doesn't and has to be flashed 2-3 times.

This is not since LeeDroid but with other Mods before, too.

Is this a well known issue?

Does anyone have a solution??
[Desire General] oscar.palomar:
Today, i have had same issue. Multitouch stops working.

Changing on screen keyboard, makes multitouch begin working.

When multitouch stops working, i was using SwiftKey beta. Changin to Touch Input keyboard, makes multitouch begin working.

I can confirm, chaging keyboard input method, makes multitouch begin working.

i will try that the next time it happens, although I'm not sure if that really solves the problems.

[Touch CDMA General] fldash:
So last night at kickball, I sent a text to my wife. The next game, I wanted to see if she texted back, and my phone was off. I didn't remember the battery being low, but thought that perhaps it might have been. When I got home I plugged it in and got nothing. I tried to do the Power/Camera/Reset to see if it would go into bootloader; again nothing. I left the battery out all night, put it back in this morning, still nothing. I've tried usb charging and wall charging as well, with and without the battery. Nothing turns it on... is it done for?
[Touch CDMA General] grantemsley:
Same thing happened to mine recently. I know the battery was low, and it turned off because of that. Never got it to turn on again.

The only sign of life mine shows is that the red led will turn on if you have it plugged into a charge with the battery out. Other than that, it's a paperweight.

Never got mine working again.
[Touch CDMA General] fldash:

Mine does the same thing since it was dropped in water. It had'nt been turned on for 2 years since I decided it would work! It still does the red light thing sometimes, but all I got to do is remove battery, try power button and repeat the process until it works. Try it out!
