I found that menu didn't work for me. I used that menu on my G1 and it worked great, but it seems to have no effect on the Vibrant.

Check out this post: (change the xx to tt, I can't post links yet)

That's the proper way to force 3g mode, and I do it on my phone it works great.

Also, another reason to force 3g only is if you live in a weak 3g area. I don't want to ride the edge network 60% of the time if I can force 3g and get it 100% of the time. :)
[Vibrant General] SamsungGalaxySVibrant:
Hey none of the methods I read here work.

So after playing around with my phone a little bit, I discovered a way to actually lock 3g.

Again I'm not a phone expert, and I discovered this on my own, so use with caution, I don't want to be blaimed for a broken phone.

here is how I did, copy and pasted from another forum I posted these instructions in:

Tired of edge speeds, want to lock in 3g? Okay this next one, do at your own risk ask usual, use with caution. I kinda figured this one out on my own, through trial and error, so I’m not sure how stable or accurate, or even how safe it is to do this. I did notice though, if you screw up, you can use the factory reset code above and things should go back to factory defaults.

Okay…so again do at your own risk. Also by locking into 3g speeds, if you ever go into a non 3g area, or if your 3g signal is poor in your area, then your phone calls will drop and data will stop, unless you go back and set the phone to its default automatic gsm/cdma settings.

Dial: *#*#197328640#*#*

Click [1] debug screen

Click [8] phone control

Click [7] network control

Click [2] band selection

This is where you make a change, default setting is [1] automatic, which means it chooses automatically between gsm/cdma (Edge vs 3g). So we are going to change this and set it to wcdma band which is 3g.

Click [2] wcdma band

Click [1] wcdma all []

Now it should display “select wcdma all bands [*]"

Now on the bottom of your phone, click the menu key, it’s the one next to the home key, now click back, menu again one more time, back one more time, this is just to confirm it set to number 2 wcdma band.

Now click menu key one last time, click end.. and you are done. Now to double verify that the phone is locked into 3g, dial in: *#*#4636#*#*

Then click phone information Then scroll down to “set preferred network type” It should now have listed “wcdma only.” PS, if you tried to do a shortcut, and just set wcdma this way first without doing the lock above, it would just go back to gsm/cdma auto once you exit the screen.

Your phone should now be locked into 3g.
[Vibrant General] spark001uk:
Just to confirm, i upgraded my firmware to XWJM5 today, and i noticed that in settings > wireless and network > mobile networks, there's a new menu 'network mode' in which there's 3 options - auto / gsm only / wcdma only. Nice touch!

In answer to the cynics, there are times when browsing, when the phone is borderline whether to give you 2g or 3g, it does come in handy, and it's safer too, as if i have to browse on 2g it makes me want to smash the phone up!!
[Vibrant General] Orochi77:
Do you have to do this each time you reboot the phone or are the settings get saved somehow?

Setting to WCDMA only does not change a thing.
[Vibrant General] spark001uk:
Well i don't know what's up with your phone, but on my phone, it sets it to pick up wcdma only, like it says.
[Vibrant General] Orochi77:
Probably has to do with my provider.

Thanks for your answer.
[Desire Themes and Apps] UltraLinx:
Everyone put a +1 if you would like to see this theme working on the OpenDesire ROM.

Here's a great theme I found but it

NEEDS EDITING

Here's a link to the theme,

Minimalistic Theme

I don't know what the problem is but here's a screenshot of it,

when i hold down the power button to turn it off it comes up with this, for some odd reason it renames things incorrectly.

Where you see "Sound is On" it should be Power Off but it's for some odd reason renamed it to "Sound is On" but still functions as turning the phone off.

If you have OpenDesire flash this theme on top and you'll see what i mean, but always do a NANDROID back up first!

I need a theme editor to look at it and fix it so that we can enjoy this theme, here is a link to the original thread by me,

[XPERIA X10 General] manfredonor:
I bought my X10 about a month ago. I haven't rooted or anything like that, but recently I've experienced a strange problem.

My phone is set to sync contacts once a day, but the other day it started to sync all the time. I turned off sync, and checked into the contact list. The contacts had been duplicated numerous times, and the contact list looked like this:

John Smith

John, Smith,

John,, Smith,,

John,,, Smith,,,

John,,,, Smith,,,,

John,,,,, Smith,,,,,

And further down in the contact list:

Smith, John

Smith,, John,

Smith,,, John,,

Smith,,,, John,,,

At the same time, a large number of my contacts had been deleted.

What could be causing this?

PS: I use GoogleSync
[Desire Themes and Apps] sharkboy_torino:
Hi,

I changed the images and buttons on the Phone.apk, I made it with a black background. I created a new file and Phone.apk I later transferred to the phone.

I do not see my pictures changed, but still those old gray.

If I pull the file Phone.apk with adb, I notice that the file on the phone is what I changed myself.

Any ideas?
[Desire Themes and Apps] sharkboy_torino:
No one knows help?

Maybe it's a cache problem, but I have delete all cache in the recovery mode.

I changed the images within the application Phone.apk, the file has been transferred to the phone, but the images do not appear.

You know if the Desire moves images into a specific folder and not use those file apk amended from me?
[Desire Themes and Apps] jullejul:
hmm don't know but you can try to change in the rom.zip like if you have defrost2.5 you can open it and go to app and change it to your program and after that flash it, wipe before. do a nandroid bakup beacuse i don't know if it works :P
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Xavier00:
I have been messing with my market to custom theme it and have it fit the rest of my theme. But when I finally adjusted some of the colors for the apps, games, and downloads button, I found that I had lost downloads and it changed to sprint. I can get to my downloads by using the menu but I was curious if anyone else has seen this and if there is a way to change it back.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Rippley05:
Same here, it's being changed for some reason.

A lot of people have it and some don't...not sure why
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] peace942:
Solution

Just press the menu button. Doing so will reveal the download key.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ChrisAC84:
I heard about it, but haven't experienced it first hand, yet
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Xavier00:
Yeah I did find that was just wondering if there was a way to get the button back not really a big deal was just curious
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Xavier00:

Not sure why it only happened after messing with the color scheme but here is why it showed up.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] DssTrainer:
Slightly on topic.. I can't remember how to save the download list between new roms. How do I save it so that when I flash a new rom, the download list in the market shows ALL my programs I've downloaded?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Badious:
I thought it was tied to your Google account acutally...but IM guessing IM wrong.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] lzlaxhacker:
This has been mentioned before, but it has been changed(or will be changed) for everyone. It is from a small silent update Sprint pushed out to the market app.

edit: also, not personally digging the color theme at all, but hey, your theme, do what you want.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SteelH:
Nothing you can do about, it's Google, not Sprint. This is occurring on tmobile, verizon, and att.
[Captivate Android Development] V DidDy 210:
So I've been messing around trying to see what I can get going on the froyo front and I'm running into some problems....

first off, froyo isn't a huge fan of the galaxy s hardware...in AVD, when I create the profile in terms of the captivate hardware and it is buggy even in emulation...this doesn't bode well for actual hardware use. Maybe I'm just really bad at development but I dunno...

So secondly, on the phone itself I thought i'd try to just send over the image to see if the phone would even accept it. While the bootloader seems to be fine and not too worried about accepting an image (the touchwiz 2.1) it doesn't want to accept the buggy froyo. :(

So i've given it some shots, but its gonna take someone or a group of people who're smarter than me to see why the bootloader isn't really unlocked and why the avd doesn't like the galaxy s hardware specifications
[Captivate Android Development] Intervenient:
I brought up the possibility of not being able to run Froyo without it being officially released by Samsung first on the Phandroid forums and repeatedly was assured that it'd only be a matter of time until Froyo was released on it.

This is disappointing :(
[Captivate Android Development] V DidDy 210:
well it should work without it being specifically released (see aria, and every old HTC) but for some reason it's not. I'm probably just doing something wrong... i was a WM dev then an iPhone dev, I'm just learning the whole android development stuff
[Captivate Android Development] psychoace:
Read up on behold 2 development on androidforums.com and Eugene_ 373's forum on androidspin.com its very similar in structure to the galaxy s brand of phones. You can't expect Samsung phones and HTC phones to be in anyway simular. They use different file systems and partitions. So it is not a cut and paste job you need to do some heavy hacking.
[Captivate Android Development] Intervenient:
Do you think it can be done? Will we see Froyo before Samsung releases it?
[Captivate Android Development] psychoace:
I and pretty much everyone that has followed the behold 2 debacle on androidforums.com have major doubts but I still believe there is potential. That's as much as I can say because some people on here don't like the fact that I don't have the same blind optimism as they do.

Also here are some posts that might help

http://forum.androidspin.com/showthread.php?p=12840#post12840

http://androidforums.com/all-things-root-behold-2/

http://androidforums.com/all-things-root-behold-2/63246-dev-needed-2-1-running-behold-2-a.html

Also I still might get a captivate if some good dev work is done. I don't need froyo before Samsung releases it and most of the added function provided by hacked and rooted roms can be added on to samsung roms. I am not getting a new phone for another month so if it looks like there is a lot of dev work done to this phone by then I will stay Samsung even though it might not get gingerbread.
[Captivate Android Development] robstunner:
Just doing a quick Twitter search for "iphone captivate" yields 80% of the peope tweeting something along the lines of leaving their iPhone 4 for a captivate. Lets hope the Dev's share the same thoughts.
[Captivate Android Development] psychoace:
Hey I would just like to know if the Galaxy S has something. Can you go into Apps managment and look for an app called "device managment"? If it's there and at 40+ mb's then that is a recovery rom. It is a duplicate of your starting rom. You can clear it most likely to regain space but after a reboot it will come back. There is another partition on the phone that stores the rom and the phone will run a check on boot up to make sure it's there. If not then it replaces it. It can be hacked out permanently but I know the Galaxy S doesn't really have any issues about storage space.
[Captivate Android Development] Intervenient:
Very much apperciated, and the links were helpful on how this all will go down. This greatly changes on if I'll keep my Captivate. I know you should be happy with the phone you have, not the one you'll get, but I don't think I can stomach having a phone that won't be supported come Q4.
[Captivate Android Development] psychoace:
If the galaxy phones sell well it will be supported. They do have some phones that have gone from 1.5 to 2.1. Just don't expect any haste out of there crew
[Captivate Android Development] Phlip00ws6:
The fact that there will be an official release of 2.2 is whats keeping most devs from putting time into it. I know I wouldn't want to put a lot of effort into something just to have an official release come out before development is done. :(
[Captivate Android Development] V DidDy 210:
true...

I was just messing around with the sdk and whatnot and thought what the hell I have a spare I might as well try

but i guess it's above my head. I'm gonna keep reading up on it though, I'm not the best coder (my expertise lies in c++) but I can surely give it a shot
[Captivate Android Development] EtherealRemnant:
Tell that to Cyanogen and Avalaunchmods and Hero_Over who are all making FroYo ROMs for the Evo.

This sucks. I was kinda looking into replacing my 9700 with the Captivate and keeping at&t and Sprint both...
[Captivate Android Development] ranova:
wrong.

See above post and also thing about the nexus one. 2.2 was released via cyanogen before it was officially released to the public.

And why would you want the official release from Samsung, which would still have the ATT junk and TW3.0, I want STOCK.
[Captivate Android Development] Tacun:
Yeah being able to remove the bloatware and using launcher pro and some of the stock Android apps like music is nice but still having to leave any TouchWiz stuff there is annoying. It will be the same on the official release just with 2.2 so I don't see why there wouldn't already be development for a custom ROM for captivate based off the stock Froyo 2.2 straight from Google. In fact this reminds me that I need to keep reading up and playing around so I might be able to do something even though it would only be for future development.
[Captivate Android Development] TexUs:
I'm not as concerned about 2.2 as 3.0...

If someone can get 2.2 running on this, then it bodes well for getting 3.0 running on this as well.

I personally use the regular non-smartphone plan and am still able to get peak speeds at around 4-5mbps, so I don't think there is a difference.

However, the regular plan uses the internet2.voicestream.com APN, while the smartphone plan uses epc.tmobile.com. It's possible the epc APN works better - and it's been something I have been meaning to test out.

How exactly does it work?

Does it charge it's own battery if not plugged in to the phone, then later when there is no sun you can charge your phone of the charged battery?

If so, that is kinda bad ass.
[Vibrant Accessories] BigWorldJust:
Yeah I think that is how it does work. If not, than that price is not worth it, lmao. Hopefully it works as how you described it though.
[Vibrant Accessories] Col.Kernel:
That is exactly how it works. It has a 3500 mAh battery battery built in. For comparison the Vibrant comes stock with a 1500 mAh battery.

That's actually not a bad price, considering that a 2500 mAh Innocell from Seidio will cost you about the same. The Innocell is an internal battery with a replacement back cover. I was going to get one but I'll probably get the Amzer now.

For comparison shopping you can go to ThinkGeek dot com and search for "solar charger" to find the 4 or so they sell. They even have a $200 for laptops.

WTH? Do not expose to direct sunlight? How is it a solar charger then? Idiotic legal disclaimers. This one's right up there with "Do not insert screwdriver into eye."
