[Vibrant General] Jon C:
That's the one thing that keeps me skeptical. I don't want to have to worry about custom firmwares and all of that; especially considering that I enjoy some of the TouchWiz customizations, and can see custom ROMs leaving those behind.

I really hope that Samsung is 'in it to win it' with the Galaxy S line. I want them to support these phones until the technology in them prevents future updates.

I really wish that it worked like this: All manufacturers are required to ship with stock ROMs, but can construct their own proprietary apps and services which can be toggled. So, for example, the Vibrant would ship with stock 2.1, but the Samsung Calendar application would be the default, over Google's. If you wanted to switch back to the stock Android apps, you could do so quite easily. Because that's all I really want that's different, to be honest: the iPhone-like TouchWiz applications. I could deal with the stock launcher and widgets just fine.

That's really all I want, and I hope we start seeing that with the next iteration of Android.
[Vibrant General] setzer715:
This is just a dumb statement. T-Mobile's HSPA+ will cover 180million pops by the end of the year. Just because you don't have fast speeds now doesn't mean that T-Mobile isn't doing anything to increase those speeds. Oh, and the 7.2 of your phones specs are theoretical, not actual. Actual should be about 5mbs if your on a site that has been upgraded for high speed, no other data use, and in a perfect environment. If its not an upgraded cell site you'll get 500K-1M.
[Vibrant General] setzer715:
I actually like that different phones come with different UI's. Gives us more options. If you don't like touchwiz, install LauncherPro or ADW Launcher.
[Vibrant General] kolyan:
why is it dumb ? WTF ? Obviously HSPA+ will come, but its not here yet, its dumb of you to assume otherwise.....
[Vibrant General] setzer715:
You made the statement that T-Mobiles HSPA+ will be no where, like Sprints 4G. This is predicting one companies outcome based on another companies shortcomings. That makes it a dumb statement. Hey, that apple might taste bad because the orange I just had did.
[Vibrant General] tissimo:
It all depends on samsung (which doesn't have the best record) but with its huge international base I think they'll still support the phone and release the next version of Android.

I highly doubt that the Most powerful phones today (Droid X, SGS) will be too underpowered for the next release of Android if thats what you're worried about.

The modding community seems to be fairly strong for such a new device, I think itll continue to grow and will have a community that rivals the G1 and the N1 so what support samsung lacks the community will make up for.

As regards to the OP, the T-Mobiles HSPA+ device wont be next gen, so its not really worth waiting for IMO. Not to mention itll be an only Tmobile device (unlike the 4 major US carriers SGS variants + international) so the community will be smaller.
[Vibrant General] kolyan:
its just i am not predicting....i am talking about NOW. and now HSPA+ is already rolling out and I dont even get full HSPA speeds yet. I would focus on getting HSPA in more places, I still get EDGE in many....

sometimes i am jealous of my friends ATT or Sprint which get 3G in mountains where I have GPRS

Searched around but it was all for other devices, has anyone got a wifi tether for the rooted droid to work?

Rooted via Unrevoked, the program installs fine and seems to be running right, I see the Barnacle SSID under "Devices" on my mac, but when I connect....it does nothing.

any ideas?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] x1208x:
yes we all have. none of use barnicle. Wifi Tether.

You can install from market, but you also need to put the folder in your sd card. works flawlessly. look it up.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Housoft:
Hey guys (and.. girls? meebee? No? Okay...)

I grabbed the See Through Phone live wallpaper off the market the other day and promptly unistalled/refund. The concept is really cool, it just uses the camera to give the illusion that your phone is see through.

The reason for the refund? Something is VERY wacky with the orientation on this app when used on the EVO. In fact, it was so out of whack that I really couldn't tell if it was just displaying along the wrong axis or if it was using the front facing camera instead of the 8.0 megapixel badboy.

Has anyone else tried this? Better yet, has anyone else been working on a similar wallpaper for the EVO?

FYI, I'm running DC 3.2.3 w/ Konikub's minimalist and the latest 55fps nova kernel. I don't know if it was the result of my mods or the wallpaper itself hasn't been built to account for the EVO's hardware.

Any help would be cool. I'm supremely satisfied with the latest DC, Koni's themes and the 55fps kernel. Now if only I could get my hands on some stellar live wallpapers..

check out dlna.org for more information
[Desire Android Development] gbil:
Installation fails because touchwiz library is missing. Either this lib must be ported also or must be removed from the app. Both are quite tricky I believe.

[Desire Android Development] seamonkey420:
well, i have a need.. ;) dlna explained more too

@dave agreed.

well, i'm looking to start doing this since i do have a need for an app like this and few others. if you have win7 and media center, you have DLNA support on your pc. :)

plus, ps3 media server can be used too. anywho, DLNA is a streaming protocol that most vendors/manufacturers introduced to allow one to stream video to various type of products (tvs, boxes, pcs, handhelds, etc).

this app lets you either Receive a stream from a DLNA server or Setup your phone as a DLNA server and then watch your videos/pics on your PS3 or Home PC's media player app.

ok, explaining done, does anyone know what the first steps of removing the touchwiz library would be or where i'd start?
[Desire Android Development] heliod:
You are right. Hadn't noticed that.

BTW, for those discussing the other side, PS3 and others, ALL Windows 7 computers are DLNA enabled. So if you have a Win7 Media Center connected to your TV, you can hear music, see photos and videos on your TV via Allshare.

Well, I add my vote for an HTC version of this thing.
[Desire Android Development] tomcat84:
Any Sense 2.0 and above Rom already has DLNA capability.

Just hit Menu -> Select player while watching a movie/photo/whatever.

[Vibrant General] csmaster2005:
So, I got the vibrant, and overall I like it because its much more responsive than both my G1 and MyTouch, but kind of have the following thoughts.

1. I feel having an LED has to be a big mistake/oversight. I cant imagine the LED would have much added cost for samsung nor be very big/require much space. Yet would have a GREAT improvment on the user experience. I hate not being able to glance at my phone and see what happened. Plus, it's alot less battery than having to turn on the screen. There are some hacks - xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=725458 - being done to compensate, but none are 'great' solutions, although clever.

2. Battery life - for an AMOLED screen, I'm surprised my battery drains as fast as it does. It lasts me 3/4 of a day more or less. I do have a few things installed, and do use the feed widgt for facebook etc, and have gmail and work email synced. I think it still doesnt last as long as it should. I'm considering removing the facebook widget and adjusting sync times to get more battery back, but still feels lacking.

P.S. : Isnt there some sort of App that can help me identify which apps are using the most battery/CPU time?

3. Calendar Notification - This is something I cant understand. I have worke mail synced to my phone, as well as my calendar for it synced. I get long vibrations and sound (if my phone isnt on vibrate), but there is no way I can find to adjust the notification to be less annoying. I know other users have noticed the same issue

4. Bloatware - I dont mind the fact that they install alot of apps on the phone that other users may find interesting, but I really feel they should make it easier to remove them. I shouldnt have to go through extra effort to get the bloatware removed.

5. Camera App - its a nice app, but I dont like how after taking a picture it does not switch back to camera... you have to hit the back button.

6. Power on button - You already have to do a slide to unlock... why on earth is the power button so small and obtrusive? I feel this is a bit quircky.

7. Proximity sensor - I dont know about you guys, but it took me a while to figure out why, when I am on the phone, the screen kept lighting up on and off. I *think* I figured out that the proximity sensor right next to the ear piece detects if your head is near the phone, and if it is away from it, it will light up the phone. I find this rather annoying, maybe I hold the phone awkwardly, but several times it has lit up while talking and I've accidentally muted etc.

So ya, </rant>

Overall, the phone is nice and a well needed improvement over my previous phone, but I feel there were just a few simple things that samsung could of done to make it a solid release.

What do others think?
[Vibrant General] temperbad:
Waaaaaaa, I had to work last night and it sucked, When I got home the house was dirty obviously the wife didnt clean... I then proceeded to the bathroom where I stepped in a big turd from my dog, damn. After the turd I went to eat something and found the bread to be stale.. Now all the sudden My car wont start and I dont know whats wrong. On top of that I accidently sharted myself and now Im a Mess.....

Whooo cares, most of those are personal gripes and should have been checked out on the day of launch.. Sorry for my rant.
[Vibrant General] Pneumatic:
I think this should be posted on the Samsung forums rather than XDA. I am pretty sure nobody here can do anything about it and I am also pretty sure that nobody cares if you don't like your phone.
[Vibrant General] csmaster2005:
I'm glad you felt the need to be a complete jerk in your response. Very smooth and professional.

FYI the rant was partially so others (who may want to get the phone) know what issues and downsides I've personally experienced, and partially to see if anyone has any suggestions on ways to imrpove/fix some of my issues.

If you have nothing smart to say next time, it may be best to just keep it to yourself.
[Vibrant General] ZombieDude00:
this posting was worth it allow for this fine joke of yours...nice one do you do stand up? :)
[Vibrant General] shaneaus:
@temperbad - the reason people on this forum will harass you about your post is mainly this:

xda-developers is just that - a DEVELOPERS forum. Most people who want to complain about devices go to forums for those devices that address general discussion. This forum caters to people who "mod" their devices. While many new-comers do come to this forum and are welcomed - it is appreciated if they stay on topics related to app modification/generation, themeing, developing and modifying ROMS and such.

So, while many do get on here and post about other crap - it is only tolerated by those that seriously want to use these forums for the intended purposes.

Your rant about this device will most likely only be heard by those who own the device out of necessity or desire - AND, by people who are already committed to owning the device. THEY DON'T CARE about hearing someone complain about a device they are already committed to!

So, in the future please make these kinds of posts on forums on which people discuss more general topics or cater to the device "generally" instead of on a forum that is dedicated to DEVELOPMENT and MODIFICATION.

I am not attempting to be harsh - however, hopefully, others will read this and will not post topics that are not related to this forum.

MOST OF THE REALLY GREAT DEVELOPERS ARE RAN OFF from Development forums because of all the off topic comments. We hope that one day this will stop.... But, I am beginning to feel like all hope is lost... :rolleyes:
[Vibrant General] csmaster2005:
@shaneaus - yes, I understand that, but I did post in the GENERAL section. Also, I understand this is a developer forum. I'm a developer myself and have trolled the forums for a few years, and there are some development solutions to the problems I mentioned (like notifications) etc...

Thanks for the thoughtful response though.

[Vibrant General] heygrl:
Are you people serious? You don't know how a Proximity sensor works on these phones? "Bloatware" as if T-Mobile hid it from you and has SO much of it on this phone? "Photo review, a feature that YOU CAN TURN OFF IN THE CAMERA SETTINGS?!" "PS isn't there an app that will tell me what is using the most battery" - Wow. Just wow. And you call this a "rant"? Maybe you should consult the owners manual before creating threads like this.

You knew or should've known that there is no LED Notification light on this phone. If you're trying to tell me that the battery life is worse on this phone than the G1 you're doing something seriously wrong.

[Captivate General] jamespaulritter:
This worked perfectly thanks a ton. It seems my mistake was naming my folder "sounds".
[Captivate General] derek4484:
what worked for me was to create a folder on /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones (or /notifications or /alarm). Then when you place mp3's in there the media scanner will pick them up and put them in the list.

You should be able to set your player preference by selecting "Configure stream settings individually" / "Player Configuration" on the Options menu.

ADB for X10 mini

USB Drivers on XP for the X10 mini phone

First, it is important to install drivers properly.

Start with the SEMC drivers.

When the device is connected to the computer you should use ADB for X10 not ADB that comes with Googles SDK since it is not compatible with Robyn, yet. Use ADB for Robyn included in attatchment, and write adb devices.

If you get something like CBxxxxxxxx then ADB works with Robyn. To kill old ADB server you can use adb kill-server command.

Good luck

Anyone know how to delete contacts from the SIM on a Captivate?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sjtonic:
I couldn't find way to delete all the contacts from SIM card all together. I've deleted them one by one.

Go to 'Contacts', here you'll see contacts marked with small sigh of SIM card. Hold you finger on the contact for 2-3 seconds. A pop-up menu will apper. The menu contains 'Delete' item. Choose it and the contact will be deleted from the SIM card.

Like he says, you can't "organize" it based on sim or phone, but your sim card contacts will always be listed 1st.

So if you have

The 1st two will likely be from your sim card. I would export your contacts first, just in case and maybe double check their order by displaying both phone and sim contacts. It's not perfect, but it made it a heck of a lot easier than individually deleting!
