Everyone knows rom developers don't have girlfriends! J/k
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Papa Smurf151:
Lmao. As much as I'd like to agree I have to disagree. She calls my laptop Betsy and is jealous of xda lmfao.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bugmenever:
The anticipation is killing me!!!! Can't wait!!!!

Also, here is an apk I came across for Flash 10.1 for phones on 2.1, which we discussed and you requested in the Blue Echo threads...

I found that if you install the apk from ESFileManager, it upgrades the flash to 10.1 and is running fine on my phone with Blue Echo 2.1.8.

Unfortunately its like 12 MB's when you install it and Hulu has already upgraded their player to a version that won't support the mobile version of Flash 10.1, those SOB's....

Any who.... keep up the great work, sooooo excited to get the ROM!!!!!

Papa RULES!!!!!!!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] raz699:
I don't want those icons changed anyway, you should just roll her out now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Papa Smurf151:
Believe me I want to roll it out but in at work. I will have it tonight. That's a promise. Might be late tonight but it will be out. The icons r crucial. Plus it will have new flash 10, app manager, Droid x keyboard, new custom kernal(I'm hoping), and a few other things. Its almost done.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] raz699:
Looking forward to it but don't loose sleep over it or piss off the girlfriend, we can wait. Thanks for the hard work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Papa Smurf151:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] raz699:
I vote for drunken irish green.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Papa Smurf151:
I was thinking green vomit and golden shower but those might be distasteful lmao
[Hero CDMA Android Development] raz699:
Lmfao! Green vomit and golden shower, if you combine them it becomes a green bay packer theme.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Papa Smurf151:
Holy **** I think I just shat myself. That was funny as hell
[Hero CDMA Android Development] raz699:
Glad I could make you chuckle, vote for me on last comic standing next year. Any chance one of the themed keyboards is swype?

[Vibrant General] jaredangus:
EDIT: SOLVED!

If you have an unlocked Vibrant and want it on AT&T, the automatic settings may be incorrect! Go to Settings->Wireless and Network->Mobile Networks->Access Point Names and make sure there is an APN with the following settings:

Name: whatever_you_want_the_name_to_be

APN: wap.cingular

Port: 9201

MMSC: mmsc.cingular.com

MMS Proxy: wireless.cingular.com

MCC: 310

MNC: 410
[Vibrant General] sfsilicon:
I went through a similar problem when I was evaluating getting an International Galaxy S and trying to make it work on Tmobile's 3G network. I found this comprehensive article on why 3G is carrier specific in the US in comparison to overseas.

http://www.phonescoop.com/articles/article.php?a=99&p=1492

I'm not an RF expert, but I'm guessing that there is some programability in the phones of the Galaxy S line, so it might be possible for someone to take the Vibrant firmware and flash that to another Galaxy S phone and make it work on Tmobile. If you find any information on this (I think there are should be more threads on this on the Galaxy S section or ask in the developers area) please let me know.
[Vibrant General] mygti02:
Let me start by saying that this thread isnt intended for ranting or anything like that. Im starting this page to collect anyones experience with this signal issua and to submit it to a friend that works in customer care with T-mobile.

Please include the following info.

* How often does it happen?

* Where are you gripping the phone?

* Do you have a kungfu grip on the phone or are you barely holding it?

* Do you loose signal completely or does it just dip a few bars?

* Do you ever drop calls because of this?

* Also include a brief explanation of times this has happened

NOTE: BEFORE YOU REPORT THIS SIGNAL ISSUE, PLEASE CHECK TO SEE IF YOU ARE IN A GOOD COVERAGE AREA! you can check here

Ill go first :)

1. This happens all the time whether im inside or outside.

2. I'm gripping it like any normal person would, at the bottom.

3. It happens when i have a kungfu grip, a very lite grip, or simply placing a finger

near

the bottom of the phone. Holding my finger a quarter inch away from the phone makes the bars drop all the way to nothing.

4. Usually it dips to no bars whether its on 3G or on Edge.

5. I have not dropped a call yet from this, but im keeping a close eye on it.

So when i use the phone i normally just hold it at the bottom, but i have a very lite grip on the phone. Actually, my palm isnt even touching the phone. My hand is sort of cupped around the phone with my fingers gripping the sides. Holding it this way my signal drops completely to nothing, but i dont drop a call (not yet). If i hold it at the top the signal comes back, but then i need to use two hands to use my phone......not ideal for a lot of people. Even then, if i dont have my hand just right, it will stilll effect my signal. I did a lot of testing going back and forth between the system test screen and the signal strength screen build into the phone, and the strength was the same between both screens, and the bars pretty much matched up perfectly with the signal levels. These tests were done in different areas, and all areas were the highest signal level possible according to T-Mobiles data coverage map. I hope this can be resolved by software, but after looking at this more and more im worried its just the hardware. Again thats just my guess :)

Thanks for the input guys. As soon as i have a few people reporting the signal issue, ill submit to T-Mobile.
[Vibrant General] kizer:
Without even typing my own comment I'm just going to cut and paste your report because its pretty much the same thing.

1. This happens all the time whether im inside or outside.

2. I'm gripping it like any normal person would, at the bottom.

3. It happens when i have a kungfu grip, a very lite grip, or simply placing a finger near the bottom of the phone. Holding my finger a quarter inch away from the phone makes the bars drop all the way to nothing.

4. Usually it dips to no bars whether its on 3G or on Edge.

5. I have not dropped a call yet from this, but im keeping a close eye on it.

Ive more or less learned to hold it near the top or palm it when I'm playing on the net. I've grown so accustomed to holding it in my right hand and using my right thumb to navigate now I'm holding it in my left and using my pointer finger. Totally not what I'm used to, but I guess if I want to keep the phone I have to bend to its will. Software issue I doubt it. I'm guess its just retarded sheilding around the antenna and we are more or less screwed unless they are going to say its some kind of tilt sensor problem. Who knows

As for the good signal. Comparing it to my G1 I would be maxed out in bars since the closest T-Mobile tower to me is 900-1200 feet away.
[Vibrant General] MMcCraryNJ:
1. How often does it happen?

Everytime I grip the phone from the bottom, the signals bars drop, and it even states I get knocked down to Edge (that rarely happens, though), however I am experiencing no data connectivity/speed loss and no dropped calls.

2. Where are you gripping the phone?

Thumb and forefinger rest on the middle of device, the bottom of my hand is resting comfortable just above the lip on the bottom

3. Do you have a kungfu grip on the phone or are you barely holding it?

Holding it so that it won't fall out of my hand but not too tight.

4. Do you loose signal completely or does it just dip a few bars?

Dips a few bars, sometimes dropping to Edge, but again, I don't think it's really losing as much signal as it's showing, which is what I believe to be the entire issue.

5. Do you ever drop calls because of this?

No

6. Also include a brief explanation of times this has happened

All of the time, indoors and outdoors, although it seems to happen less outdoors.
[Vibrant General] jctnd:
1. Happens when I'm inside.

2. Gripping it normal way at the bottom.

3. Sometimes I lose all bars, sometimes I only have one bar left. Speedtest still shows in the thousands.

4. No dropped calls so far.

5. Something I have noticed today in T-Mobile store.. when I held their display phone the bars didn't drop at all, and neither did they drop on my phone.
[Vibrant General] mygti02:
in regards to your number 5. A lot of t-mobile stores have mini towers in the store. So that why it probably didnt happen in the store :)
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
That's not true.
[Vibrant General] mygti02:
it is at least in IL. A really close friend of mine is the manager at one of the local Corp Stores and he has shown it to me at 3 different stores he ran. So ya its pretty true here at least.
[Vibrant General] jamboy5590:
I am getting the same thing as you guys i was really mad when i found this out i was making fun of iphone for this. But i still have hope samsung will fix this I too dont get any dropped calls and my network still works even when its showing 0 bars (which is about 80% of the time). so im thinking that this might be a software issue and the bars are not showing correctly. does anyone know if the same thing is happening to the captivate or any of the other phones?
[Vibrant General] darkknight49:
well, im inside right now and I held the phone lightly like it would be browsing the web or something and i only drop 1 bar. But I think that's mainly because I'm right at the 3/4 bar threshold. Outside, i have no drops in bars, but I'd check the actual decible reading later.
[Vibrant General] couped:
Its the bump on the bottom of the phone. O well prolly gotta get a zenus case. They look sharp.

O btw I'm still gunna make fun of iPhone users. They are such fanbois
[Vibrant General] ArcticWolf91:
For me it happens inside when I hold the phone. Keep in mind that this is WITH a silicone case. It is quite disheartening. =\
[Vibrant General] cropythy:
I own the Captivate and this happens to me as well, half the time I have this phone I have 0 bars, but still no dropped calls, and better sound quality and download speeds than the htc aria I had for 3 weeks which would show 2-4 bars where the captivate shows 0-3. I think where apple for years overestimated iphone bars samsung is underestimating bars with the galaxy s so i am not really worried about it at all.
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
I haven't experienced any dropped calls or call quality degradation. The antenna status is always fluctuating, and it was always the case with my retired N95 as well.

As for the data, I got a pretty bad 3G signal in my apartment and office, but outside I haven't notice any degradation of service whichever way I am holding the phone.
[Vibrant General] KNguyen104:
This happens when I hold the vibrant horixontaly it drops down to greyed bars and sometimes to edge

when I hold it horizontaly I am on the web browser or watching a video but no drop calls
[Vibrant General] ultra spikey:
Someone should try one of these lol...
[Vibrant General] swatspyder:
The bump on the bottom of the phone holds the antenna. It is designed poorly. They should have put the antenna up at the top of the phone where very few people hold it.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
That's not always an option besides I rarely have my hand over the antenna because the phone is so big, you have plenty of places to hold it at. At least it doesn't give you a false sense of a good antenna like HTC.
[Vibrant General] Introspektive:
I've noticed signal dropping down to nothing when I hold it but I've never dropped a call or had data crap out. The software doesn't reflect the service you're actually getting.

Sent from Samsung Vibrant using XDA app.
[Vibrant General] interceptor63:
0 Bars

I have the same situation. I mostly get 0 bars at home but I use my WiFi. I have never had a very strong signal in my house, may 1-2 bars on average. When I use the Vibrant, I get 0 bars but I can still receive sms and phone calls. I haven't had any drop calls. So I would have to say it is a software issue not a phone related issue.:eek:
[Vibrant General] MMcCraryNJ:
You can't put the antenna on top anymore, it is the law, at least here in the states.
[Vibrant General] fociz:
Same here. Bars go down when i hold the phone, no case on phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverStone641:
Hey people. i finally got around to checking out Handcent SMS and i have to say, i'm loving it!!

question though, right now, when i get a text, i'm getting dual notifications. both handcent and the HTC sms system are notifying me about texts. how do i switch all sms function over to handcent?

thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burgertime:
I was wondering the same thing. Just too lazy to search for the answer. I just imagined the phone had to be rooted to bypass the Sense messaging system.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nuvens:
Open messages and in the settings option uncheck autoretrieve and received notifications.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverStone641:
doh! it's on the damn handcent page:

How to make handcent sms to my default sms software?

You can disable Android notification system by following these steps:

1. launch the "messaging" ,click "menu" button on the phone

2.select "settings" menu item and disable "Notifications"

3. Check Handcent SMS option to turn on notifications. Now you will only receive one notification from a message.

i suck guys. my bad for not following the first rule of forums(search first you F$&#ing idiot):rolleyes:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superandroidhero:
You can actually disable the auto-retrieve in the Sense Messages app under settings -> Auto Retrieve.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nief1313:
open up 'Messages'

hit 'menu'

hit 'settings'

Scroll under 'received messages'

and uncheck 'Received notification'

[Nexus One General] davelis828:
so are our phones considered to have "classic status" now?

:P:P
[Nexus One General] inneyeseakay:
How about "The best Android device, ever" Status?

...and "No, you can't have one!" Status, LOL
[Nexus One General] Ems12:
Hehe

We now have one of the best phones no one can get and in limited numbers. There going to be worth some money especially is we get Android 3.0 first. :p.

:cool:
[Nexus One General] bewA:
the end of an era!
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
I don't understand how people can keep thinking this... NO THEY WON'T. It's a phone...not a fully restored '69 Lincoln with suicide doors. If it didn't sell in droves, then there wasn't that much demand for it, and that's why it was cancelled. People aren't suddenly going to be wanting one now that it's sold out on the website. There are phones with similar specs out now, and in 3 months there will be even badder phones out. It's life... deal with it guys.
[Nexus One General] iheartn1:
hey look, my (insert phone here) is the best phone ever because (very specific pro of phone here)!!!!

but really, the n1 is a good phone but its already been out for almost 8 months. a new iphone comes out every year and i doubt apple keeps making the previous model until the last day
[Nexus One General] norazi:
i think it has some additional historical value as the first and possibly only "google" phone made
[Nexus One General] rkboid:
Do to coverage issues I had to switch carriers, and moved to Sprint. The Evo is only a consolation prize :( and a OK now that Cyanogen is working on it. However I did post up my MINT Nexus on Ebay last night. Hope the people out there get a ravenous :).

Missing My Nexus
[Nexus One General] klausdieter79:
not sold out

you can still buy the phone from a provider. see the help center link and choose your country....

i don't care if it's sold out or not. I have mine! :-P
[Nexus One General] wondercoolguy:
So if my N1 craps out then theres nothing I can do to get it replaced? I think I'll be putting it away for selling purposes
[Nexus One General] inneyeseakay:
My country isn't in the list... ;)
[Nexus One General] inneyeseakay:
I'm sure HTC has a stock of refurbs for warranty reasons...
[Nexus One General] jp_macaroni:
the nexus is the most underrated phone ever.
[Nexus One General] inneyeseakay:
I agree... completely!
[Nexus One General] yayramen:
Erm. Quick problem with that. Wasn't the G1 the first "google" phone? >_>

And I agree. About the n1 being underrated. In my personal opinion (imo), I think that for a phone to still be on the cutting edge, and still holding its own 8 MONTHS after it came out? That's pretty B.A. In my personal opinion, that is.
[Nexus One General] inneyeseakay:
It just goes to show how far ahead of the market it was at release! :cool:
[Nexus One General] blablum:
The sad thing is that the N1 still is the best unlocked phone you can buy in the US. This is the first time I see a phone get canceled before something better comes around. Unbelievable. Better take good care of your N1!
[Nexus One General] Purple Drama Llama:
Well, me being on AT&T, the Nexus the best phone I can get! I personally don't want or like the Captivate because of it's UGLY design and being manufactered by Samsung. Everyone thinks that the Nexus was a flop because sales weren't high but, the whole reason it was created was to excel Android OS. All the advertisement it had was just a small ammont of internet ads. In my opinion, it was a success. Before the Nexus, the best phone, hardware wise was the Milestone....
[Nexus One General] galaxys:
Yep, the sophisticated users quickly bought up the rest because it's a developers dream device and will continue to be to some extent!
[Nexus One General] DarkDvr:

No offence, but that's one terrible signature =)
[Nexus One General] pakraider:
Crap! I was going to buy a desktop dock this weekend, thinking I could wait since it was the phones that would be sold out... but looks like the accessories are gone too. ebay folks are having fun selling it for $60+. crap.
[Nexus One General] inneyeseakay:
I have one that I'm not using... hit me up on PM if you are interested! :D
[Nexus One General] jdmoore81:
Yea I was going to buy the car dock but I am too late and they are too high on ebay
[Nexus One General] venelar:
Crap i didn't notice that! time to track down a car dock
[Nexus One General] yayramen:
Actually, any universal dock would be fine.

I have the cardock, and while it is a perfect fit, and it does charge the phone, it does nothing more that's special. You can enter care mode manually, unless you need the speaker for navigation, but I don't like the voice, so I just glance at it when I'm using it.
[Nexus One General] Goonish:
I really wish people would stop saying there was no demand for these phones. The N1 has been the most successful android phone yet, has completely changed the phone market to Google's advantage. The CEO Eric Schmidt said it best a few weeks ago;

'Ok, it worked. Congratulations -we're stopping.'

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technolo...-Schmidt-You-can-trust-us-with-your-data.html

Google never EVER wanted to be retailer, they just wanted to push some powerful hardware to show the world that, android is the ****. Thanks to Google we now have a host of powerful phones which may not have surfaced at all.

The demand for android has never been stronger, if it becomes stagnant again we might see something else but android looks like its in good shape now, from where I sit.
[Nexus One General] flamechamp:
Haha, I guess I'm buying a LEGENDARY phone then? hohoho
