[Vibrant General] uwradu:
While I will chime in my $0.02 as well, let's not make this yet another "pentile is crap" thread, there are plenty of those already. One of the first things I do on every new phone I look at is to pull up engadget in landscape in desktop mode, completely zoomed out. It's a very familiar website to me and I can get a good sense of how much screen real estate the phone offers and how legible small text is. I was amazed on the EVO 4G how legible very small text was, and I noticed right away on the Vibrant that the same text was rougher and somehow interpolated. While the EVO screen is somewhat larger and text is thus fractionally bigger, the difference was still noticeable. However, I still got the Vibrant for several reasons:

- it's the only large screen Android phone on TMO, and probably will be for a while--I'm quite SICK of waiting

- I want to stick with GSM carriers, and AT&T doesn't have anything better either

- the EVO has other issues, such as pretty bad battery life and possibly the detaching screen problem

- quite frankly I only read zoomed out sites for a quick overview, to read full articles I always zoom in a bit. Despite having perfect vision, even on the EVO reading an entire article or two at such tiny text sizes would get tedious after a while. Once zoomed in a bit, the Vibrant looks perfectly fine and non-distracting, at least to me

- the Vibrant has other things going for it, such as incredible contrast, better battery life, an awesome camera (yes, even without flash), and quite frankly the highest performance hardware out right now, until the 1.5GHz or 2GHz devices come one

To sum up, ALL the current phones out require one or more compromises of one type or another. Determine for yourself which ones you can live the least with, buy the corresponding phone, and quit reading these forums to prevent buyer's remorse ;-)

vibrant text sharpness

i read somewhere online when i updated my nexus one to 2.2 that it had a fix for sharper screen resolution and it did look better after the update so i imagine when the vibrant gets the update the screen will look just as sharp as the n1 if not better
[Vibrant General] Chalup:
How so? Same resolution on a larger screen means less dpi by definition, no?
[Vibrant General] SugarMouth:
Because the DPI, "Dots per Inch" is exactly that; a given amounts of dots per an inch of space. Could be on a 5 ft screen or a 1 " screen and be the same.
[Vibrant General] Chalup:
Indeed, so if two displays have the same number of pixels but different physical dimensions, then they also have different maximum possible DPI.
[Vibrant General] psychoace:
I think he was referring to the op and his quote here

"I know that DPI of Vibrant is higher due to the larger screen"

This is not always true cause a smaller screen could have a higher dpi then a larger screen because it's running a resolution that provides it with such. Just like the Iphone 4 dpi is higher then the Evo's dpi even though it's a much smaller screen.

I just read a 350 page book using the Kindle app. I thought the text looked fine. Maybe it's time to pay a visit to Lens Crafters...;)
[Vibrant General] designerfx:
100% correct and yes this is what I was trying to point out. For me coming from a g1 its a huge improvement due to higher resolution.

Fyi folks go to wikipedia and look up dot pitch. It explains a lot.

I flashed my Dell Axim X50 to Windows Mobile 6.5 by LennySh, but it does not have Titanium enabled. (Windows Default is not in the themes selection.) The build of the rom is

23016

(Proof: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QN6Q8UKoEbU) which DOES contain titanium, but its not enabled. How do I do this?
[General Questions and Answers] claus1953:
You should post your questions in the answers/questions thread.

Anyway, if you have Titanium in your ROM it must show up under Settings/Today as Windows Default (or other name depending if rom language). If you do not have it in your rom, then you cannot enable or install it.
[General Questions and Answers] sv0911:
Hi,

if you can´t find windows default in your Settings:

---- Items on Today: Windows Default -----

Then look here: http://www.modaco.com/content/i8000-omnia-ii-gsm-rom-discussion/308592/i8000nxxje2-lite-20100514/ for: CHome, i8000nxxje2_chome.cab (929 KB)

This is the default cab for titanium...!

I had also no Windows Default on my rom, because the cook removed it...

Just install and make softreset..!

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jinx8402:
Are there any good widgets that displays facebook/twitter and other social networking updates like the stock feeds and update widget in TouchWiz? I am using ADW, which obviously doesn't have access to the Samsung widgets (stupid Samsung for putting them in a non-stock location). I really liked that widget, and would like something similar, instead of having to use separate widgets for Facebook and Twitter.

Scrollable widget is a plus!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] rsfaze:
Pure Messenger does facebook, sms, gmail, pop and twitter..
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] crawldit:
I love pure messenger. Much better than the stock Samsung app in my opinion.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] acspin:
I too miss that TouchWiz Updates and Feeds app. I will give the Pure Messenger widget a try, seeing how I was looking for a good email widget as well. :)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jnp1974:
Is the only problem with getting the Feeds and Updates widget to work the location? If so, where does Android keep the stock widgets in the filesystem? I am thinking it might be possible to move the F&U widget to where the stock widgets are located and use it from there. Anyone have any insight as to whether this would even be possible?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] tq745:
I don't think that's possible because those widgets are built into the tw ui. If that wasn't the case then we would've already had sense widgets running on adw and launcher pro.

Feeling Vibrant on xda-app
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jinx8402:
Actually, I searched through astro file manager and I was able to find the apk for all of Samsung's Widgets. I do know you can copy the apk and edit it though, as I was able to to so. However, I don't know what or how to "fix" them to use outside of touchwiz.

Anyone willing to take a look at it?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] oogiesfaded:
I would be really interested to hear if anything comes about this, i too miss it and would like to know if it can happen.

You always have a 24 hour period with the Android market. If you don't like it, uninstall/cancel and it won't charge your card. You only get to do this once per app though.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Disconn3ct:
It comes up periodically on the -dev list that this is actually harmful to developers: if a user install it, and doesn't like it (or doesn't get to give it a proper test, or it has a bug on their device) and refund, thats it. They will never come back because it was broken and they don't get to try again.

If there is a trial/limited/ads version and that happens, they can try again when the bug is fixed (or when they have more time, or a better environment, etc.)

On the vibrant this likely happens a lot, since it has such performance issues to begin with - "I installed foo, and my phone started locking up, so I refunded. Now its been a week and it turns out it wasn't foo at all, but I can't try it again..."

You can buy Launcher Pro Plus. It has a scrollable Twitter widget that's the best you'll find in the market. Plus he's constantly updating and is adding Facebook support.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] morfic:
I'll add my vote for Pure Messenger. Dev is also one of the most reponsive out there, so if there is ever an issue, it won't be there long.

Widget does all gmail, email, sms, facebook, twitter, and scrolling messenger list widget is great in adw and lp, soon also livehome has scrollable widget support.

Livehome is fun enough to deal with the lack of scrollable widget support until it's done.

I've been using Pure Calendar for a while now. I love the naked look.

Try an app called sotiallite it has twitter and facebook. It's a widget but not scrollible.

blau.de (E-Plus), not the best network for data but mostly UMTS, in bigger citys little HSPA

0,09 EUR (~0,11 US$) per minute

0,09 EUR (~0,11 US$) per short-message

optional options (1 month, then decide if you want it another month, if not end it any time)

100 MB mobile data = 3,80 EUR (~5,00 US$)

1 GB mobile data = 10,00 EUR (13,17 US$)

unlimited mobile data = 20,00 EUR (26,35 US$) [5 GB with maximum speed, GPRS only afterwards)

I spend probable 15 EUR (~19,75 US$) per month, but I am not a power user.

However, there are offers in Germany like 40 EUR (52,65 US$) = unlimited calls and text to all German networks. Additional mobile data options have similar prices.

second sim-card

netzclub, o2 Germany

It's an advertisement sponsored price plan. All ads are silently filtered by the smart phone to an extra folder.

100 minutes per Month to any German network for free

phones for free

It's very tricky, but sometimes it's possible to get phones or money for free.

By signing a new contract while using cash-back offers sometimes the cash-back (money+phone) is worth more then all costs of the contract altogether.

It's simple math.

(Setup cost) + (monthly costs * duration of contract) = fixed costs (all costs, minimal costs, everything you have to pay anyway)

fixed costs - cash-back = result

I used offers like (25 EUR) + (20 EUR * 24) = 505 EUR costs.

505 EUR - 700 EUR = -195 EUR

195 EUR profit.
