Are you missing any other google apps?
[EVO 4G General] SharkUW:
Lol. No. I meant I don't have the Sprint tab. I still have download.
[EVO 4G General] TrevE:
I didnt notice it in 2.2, but i could have just missed it. I did see it when i nandroided back from 2.2 to 2.1.

I wonder if there punishing us for dabbling with 2.2 :P
[EVO 4G General] Fixter:
Hmm. If you have it and you are working with 2.2 and everyone with 2.2 has it on the latest Nightly. I'm pretty sure you triggered something while working with it.
[EVO 4G General] NakkiNyan:
I have a DroidX and had a Verizon tab in the same place as your Sprint tab so it isn't just Sprint :/
[EVO 4G General] TrevE:
yep thats what im thinking. Either that or its a slow rollout that hasnt hit everyone. Regardless it sucks, i hit the freekin button 2x now trying to go for my downloads. Going back to 22 in a sec, ill see if its there

Anyone have it that hasnt messed with 2.2?
[EVO 4G General] Fixter:
Treve its 2.2. I'm pretty sure it is. By the Droid X having the same problem. It must be 2.2 setting this settings.
[EVO 4G General] Mast3rpyr0:
I have the latest nightly CM6 and i dont have the sprint tab
[EVO 4G General] pinkxpinkii:
So what?

Verizon had this. At least they're not pushing for their bloatware or forcing us to install something to make our Evo work.
[Vibrant General] Alex530:
1.Hows the battery life? How long will it last with music and internet. Basically heavy usage.

2.Hows TouchWiz? Laggy? Fast? Finger friendly?

3.I understand root just came out but what can you really do with it at the moment.

4.hows the camera? Is it good? bad? Average?

5. Multitouch On kb outta the box? iFail KB status? Or G1 status?

6. What comes in the box? Accesories?

Thanks! My first powerhouse phone so im a little nervous.:)
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
2. TouchWiz 3.0 is a huge improvement from its previous version. It doesn't seem that bad anymore but can be replaced (at least the home screens) with ADW Launcher or LauncherPro (your choice). Fully removed when custom ROMs are available.

3. Root came out before the phone was released, takes <2 minutes to do. What can we do?

- Remove bloatware (A lot of apps such as Kindle, MobiTV, etc are NOT THE APPLICATIONS but an application that tells you to download the app from them market -- some are also subscription based so they are advertisements).

- Access to apps that require root access such as (SetCPU, Root Manager, Titanium Backup, and many more)

~ Custom ROMs are probably not too long from now. Recovery is in beta stages and CM6 is being worked on.

4. Camera is really good.. people exaggerate that there isn't night mode but it isn't needed. AndroidSPIN did a really good article about this located here: http://androidspin.com/2010/07/23/samsung-vibrants-camera-why-you-will-love-it/

Nightmode: http://www.tmonews.com/2010/07/is-the-samsung-vibrant-night-mode-a-worthwhile-replacement-to-flash/

5. kb? Phone has multi-touch on stock.

6. Includes:

* Samsung Vibrant phone

* Alternative battery cover

* Battery & charger

* USB Cable

* SIM card

* Stereo headset

* Start guide

* Terms & conditions

[Vibrant General] Alex530:
Thanks Dude! Well im not nervous anymore. Im acctually excited now:D
[Vibrant General] gravis86:
zephiK kinda skipped over #1 so I figured I'd chime in a bit. Battery life isn't the greatest, but it does last me all day and that's really all I care about. GPS (Google Maps Navigation) seems to drain it a lot, otherwise it's really good on power. Although if you're doing music and internet, I'd give it about 3 or 4 hours. We should get better life though once CM6 is out.

@zephiK, which keyboard is MT? I've tried all the stock ones and even some downloaded ones and haven't found any to be MT. Is there a secret I'm missing out on?
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
I skipped #1 because I wasn't 100% too sure about it yet.

Droid X's keyboard is multi touch: http://www.androidguys.com/2010/06/25/droid-xs-multitouch-keyboard-ported-21-phones/

I haven't tried it myself because I'm addicted to Swype.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
I am getting much more than 3 to 4 hours. More like double that, and I've been out of work all week texting browsing and gaming. I also question if we'll se more b battery life with cyanogen's rom. The evo is getting less than stock (though cyanogen recently found whatever was eating the battery).

Buy the phone. It is amazing.
[Vibrant General] gravis86:
Yeah, I heard it had been ported but I think there was supposed to be a problem where the text on the keys was too small. Oh well I'm gonna try it anyway. Thanks for the link!
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
no problem and OH i just realized what kb stood for KeyBoard.. durrr

@s152674n: he already bought it :P but yeah totally agreed with what you said.

[Vibrant General] vinnydakid:

[Vibrant General] mistical:
I just decided to test this keyboard as well and the text on the keys are extremely small. I have been trying to find a great onscreen keyboard. I am coming from the G1, so I almost never used the onscreen keyboard prior so it is new to me.

I loved the Samsung keyboard, especially the button layout/size, but in the end I could not put up with it. So I am still using Better Keyboard. It would be nice to put the Samsung and Better Keyboard together.
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
Have you tried Swype? I came from a G1 as well.. Swype + 4" touchscreen works really well.
[Vibrant General] Alex530:
Swype is pretty usefull I had it on my tp2 and my cliq xt.
[Vibrant General] rondey-:
I waited so long to upgrade due to a physical keyboard but swype actually works great.the phone itself is a lot more then I expected as well
[Vibrant General] holysmokesbatty:
If you want an awesome keyboard, use the ported HTC_IME. Best keys in the house.

If anyone has been looking for LogMeIn for their Android it's out now!

I've been waiting for a while myself, it was the only killer app I've been missing.

I'm using it with KFC, the only problem I have is that my computer's screen doesn't render right when in landscape. Worked flawlessly in portrait!

[Droid Eris General] es0tericcha0s:
Yea, just got this working yesterday. I tried PhoneMyPC first, and actually liked it better, but sadly it only worked once. That's why I ended up trying this one. Was funny because I started playing around with it while my girlfriend was on the computer and I was across town. She was like...wtf is going on?? heh...
[Droid Eris General] lifyre:
Heh, I haven't added the wife's computer yet but sounds like a good idea.

I've been using LogMeIn for almost 6 months now and couldn't wait for it to get out of beta. It can be found around for those that find $30 a bit steep for a phone app.
[Droid Eris General] reddyfire:
Android vnc is free try that
[Droid Eris General] lifyre:
Not quite the same thing especially for remote admin type stuff. I've had to use VNC (of almost all flavors) extensively and am much happier with LogMeIn. Especially when it comes to getting the remote end setup and making the connections over a couple thousand miles.

[Droid Eris Android Development] Tuckface1:
So i am fairly new to root, to roms, to cooking, etc... (jumped the gun and was on leak 3 forever, got a refurb due to a cracked screen, which had leak 3 on it (go figure) so anyway, i'm cooking myself a rom, and i'm wondering, how would i link an app that i know is in the market (but i have pulled from my phone to put into this rom) back to the market, so it would receive updates. Like, i'm using Launcher Pro as my launcher, but it's not linked to the market, it's always going to be at version like 0.7.0.4 unless i manually update it... and i feel like there is a way to link it...

Any help appreciated, tried to search, but it was no luck.

~Tucker
[Droid Eris Android Development] mattyboy1013:
The only thing i can think of is when there is a new update download it from the market, overwriting the app in itself, which will put it into the update loop. an educated guess but it may work. the only thing that might stop it is that it will be cooked in as a system app and i dont know if the market will let you overwrite it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tenzomonk:
make sure the apk is installed to /data/app

and NOT /system/app

should update fine then
[Droid Eris Android Development] Tuckface1:
ok, yea i had tried to put apps in their before, but those apps have to be in com.domain.package.apk format... and then they automatically get linked to market, i have no idea any of the reasons for why any of this works, but it does, so thank you :)

Does anyone know if there is an app that lets you play videos from the itunes store on the evo
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankenstein\:
This is very unlikley given the DRM imbedded in all things purchased via the apple store unless you can find something that will facilitate a direct sync of content between iTunes and the phone and includes a player that is compatible with the DRM.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tstinnett62:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
There are no other ideas. Your sole current solution is to find a way to transcode the video file to a compatible format and bypass Apple's FairPlay DRM. Good luck with that.

[General Questions and Answers] loaferkan:
Okay, we have times when we want to hide our caller's ID, we don't want our number to be noticed by the call receiving party! Yet it is so much to go through, first hitting the phone button, clicking the options, selecting caller ID, hitting the get settings, and now select provide my caller ID to "NO ONE". Took me like forever, and now I have to select the person's number from the phone book, if I still remember who I was trying to call! LOL

So I know there got to be a way!, Create a Caller ID's toggle, hit it to show or hide caller ID, simply and then select the number you want to dial and you can hide your caller ID.

Anything like that? I know I used to have the simmon's phone back in the days, when I needed to hide a caller's ID, I would just hold the 8 key and it would hide the caller's ID. Now the toggle was assigned to the 8# key, but I think if that is too much to do, why not just have a toggle, just as we have it for the bluetooth or other phone's options.

Is it possible?:confused:

Just moved over to an android phone from AT&T and an Iphone. When I go to send a pic through MMS it compress it down to around 18k and severely shrinks the pic. I know that the compression is normal for sending pics. Is the amount of compression set by the phone? Spring network limit? Is it possible to change the compression amount? Thanks for any info.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blkout01:
There's actually a couple threads on this already. Sorry I can not link them at the moment but if you search you'll probably find them. Basically you can try using something like Handcent or ChompSMS and there is also a page somewhere talking about editing the mms apk

Good luck
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sablesurfer:
Yeah, this is one of those issues that only seems to bug a few of us...and piss off even less. There are two compressions...the phone has something built in...and Sprint's network does it.

I tested with pics from my phone to friends and from friends phone to mine. My pics were down around 70k and 20k...hers back to me were around 200k. All started as 1 megapixel pics and I know that her carrier AT&T (my old one) didn't shrink em as people constantly told me pics were too big from that phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nefariouss:
Thanks. I had searched but I guess not hard enough. Time to do some digging around again. I think the iPhone compressed the pic to around 300k. Took to trying out handcent today, but haven't tried sending a pic through it. Thanks for the info guys.

Dial *67 and your # not a good enough work around? You can always add *67 to specific #'s you call regularly to not see your callerid.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] donSjon:
there is also an option to hide your # when calling someone who is not in your address book
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] madbird:
hi, at least in europe you can use this codes to switch the 'CLIR' function of your mobile:

*31#	submits your number to the called party on for all calls.

#31#	submits your number to the called party off for all calls.

*#31#	show the current 'CLIR' state

*31#number to call	submits your number to the called party on only for the next call.

#31#number to call	submits your number to the called party off only for the next call.

maybe this works for your network also.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] legendaryxm90:
I recently just upgraded from CM 5.0.8 to CM6 RC1 on my G1. I had to wipe and reflash because I noticed my Google apps were missing and I tried to flash the gapps zip and I got stuck on the Touch Android to Continue screen. So I reflashed CM6 and the Google apps after starting over from scratch with a fresh wipe, but now my email app doesn't work! It worked one time, it let me configure my Yahoo account and I got to my inbox, and then I closed it. I try to go back again and I get the FC message every time now! I've tried clearing the application data, rebooting, removing battery and rebooting, etc, nothing works. Any help with this? :(

Also, thanks to the new 2.2 system on CM6, there's an annoying grey square next to messages that I've sent in Messaging that's supposed to be my profile picture? I don't use gmail often, so I don't have a profile pic on it, so it's pretty pointless to me. I've googled this, and everyone says to set my phone number in the SIM using an old phone, but I don't just have old phones laying around like that. >_> Also they said after that you sync it to your gmail again or create a "Me" contact in your phone or something and you can setup your picture from there. I think the whole contact photo thing is annoying in general, so isn't there a way to just plain get rid of the grey square or disable contact photos in Messaging altogether?

I'm not sure if this is the right section for this since I didn't exactly see any "Android Hacking Help" forums or anything, but if anyone can help, I appreciate it! Thanks! :)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alisha898:
Okay, So Ive Just Gotten My New Evo -Woot- About 2 days ago. Since then I have been wanting to root. Soo I've looked and looked to find a nice forum for me to root.

Note that the most ive done is Jailbreak an Ipod and Iphone. Compared to what Ive been reading up Rooting the evo is much more difficult.

Well I finally found a root that looked manageable.; The Simple Root. However when I try to do the last part and install the last version on Hboot it keeps giving me the error message of "Main Version is Older" Want To Reboot?

I dont know what it is that im doing. I Dont have wifi so this may be the problem. But Is there any other way that i can do a simple root without wanting to pull my hair out?

disk mount the phone to the computer

erase the files that were pushed to the phone

- manually copy the files back to the phone

- re-start simple root at step 2

- when told to on the browser and go to that site, reload the page like 5-6 times

- keep the browser open when proceeding to the next step

- DON'T "press any key to continue" close the cmd prompt yourself by pressing "x"

doesn't really seem much different from the original steps but it seems to work try searching the simple root thread for the exact steps if this doesn't cut it for you...

Hey I have a couple of class 6 8 gig cards that I used in my G1 that I would like to keep using on the Vibrant. Of course the cards were formatted with partitions to Fat32, ext 2, and swap ext. After rm all the partitions, how can I format them back to use on the Vibrant as regular storage? The comp did not recognize the card at all so I couldn't reformatted that way.

Any suggestions or did I forget some step.

Thanks
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
Well.. you are using Amon_RA's Recovery. Just put the card into G1 and boot into recovery and partition the SD card and set SD card to 100% FAT32 (0 MB on swap; 0 MB on ext) and you're pretty much set. Easiest way to set it up =)
[Vibrant General] Jdom58:
Thanks I tried that but none of my card readers are able to read either card using that technique. They can read the card that came with the Vibrant and I can see it's a fat file system.
[Vibrant General] hpz937:
without partitions you would probably have to go into the partitioning program in the control panel on windows or use your g1 to partition in recovery as previous poster said.

Hey,

The 16GB Sandisk card that came with my HD2 is only letting me utilise 14GB of the space. Does anyone know how I can gain access to the full 16GB.

Thanks.
[HD2 General] zelendel:
That is normal from what I have seen. The space is being used by the info the card needs to run. I have 3 16gb cards and after a fresh format I have 14.9gb left on both the class 2 and the class 6
[HD2 General] watcher64:
you are seeing 14.8 gb on windows right?

That is correct for a 16gb card

Cards are sold by the bits, but when you format the card that is converted to GB and displayed by windows.

for instance since a kbyte 1024 bits

your 16gb card is actually 15,927,345,152 bits divide that by 1024 , but because of the way it is calculated, you have to divide the result again by 1024 and then once more. You will end up with 14.83349609375 which is how windows sees the GB

hope that answers your question ....

EDIT:

Just for reference why you have to divide it 3 times

The first time will give Kbits

Second time will Megabits

Third time will give you Gigabits
[HD2 General] foxhound494:
Alright awesome thanks so much guys.
