[Vibrant General] MMcCraryNJ:
Gosh, so much panic and unhappiness in this thread, lol.

This is a great phone with some software issues. T-Mobile and Samsung are aware of the issues. They will take care of said issues. This is going to be one of T-Mobiles flagship devices for the next 10-14 months, and Samsung is banking on this phone to succeed worldwide. Do you really think they will let this slide? When the G1 was released, it had many more issues than the Vibrant has now. They were all fixed. I had that phone at launch and unless you were standing outside with no buildings or trees in your way and a clear sky, the GPS would NOT work (anyone remember the Google Maps error "We are unable to detect your position, we will keep trying, but you may also want to change your location")? I think I waited a month, maybe a month and a half, for that first service OTA release which fixed it.

Even if the GPS chip is somehow defective hardware-wise, if it performs well after the software work-arounds that Samsung and T-Mobile are working on, who cares? Will you really notice or care when your GPS works flawlessly regardless of the problem? Look at the PS3 for example...you guys know of the defective DSP chip that gets the date wrong every 3-4 years, right? And renders the system unusable for 1 day? Sony released a software patch that fixes the error, however the chip is still technically defective, but you aren't going to see any symptoms of the defect because a software patch was written to work-around the defect. And this isn't even the likely scenario with our GPS.

If you really need the GPS to work flawlessly right now, right this very second, return your phone and get another one. Or buy a newer standalone GPS which is 1000x more accurate than any phone GPS out right now. They start at about 100 bucks these days, maybe even cheaper.

There's really no sense endlessly complaining and being unhappy with your phone. You have 14 days. Take it back if you're unhappy. Or do what I'm doing, and wait it out. There will be a service update. We will get 2.2 and all of the speed increases and other goodies that come with it. This phone will blow the N1 out of the water when it does (actually it already does).

[EVO 4G General] orris:
I couldn't find it in any search, sorry if I missed it. So, here's my deal:

When composing an e-mail, text message or searching on the internet sometimes I won't be able to long press a key to get to the other keys (like long pressing 'K' to get '?'). It happens across the keyboard and is getting more frequent. If I reboot it will work again or sometimes if I just kill the program it will work. Does that mean it's a software issue or hardware or both? I am also curious if anyone else has passed by this issue and, if so, what you did to fix it. Thanks for any help.

I'm running everything stock. Stock messaging app. Dolphin HD browser. Stock e-mail clients. Phone version 002 with latest update.
[EVO 4G General] TJDuckett:
That's not normal at all. I'd take it to Sprint before even bothering to figure it out.

As for the root of the problem, it could be software, hardware, or both. I remember on my HTC Vogue (Touch), I would get screen problems, but, a hard reset would always fix it. So, it could be a variety of things, and even more reason for you to just take your phone in and get it swapped.
[EVO 4G General] orris:
Thanks, I'll try it.
[EVO 4G General] mistersquirrle:
This probably isn't your problem, but you can't long press a key if you hit a key, then slide to the key that you want to long press on, so if you're hitting a key accidentally then sliding to the key you want it won't work. That's just a suggestion
[EVO 4G General] awakener:
MINE HAS DONE THIS EVER SINCE THE UPDATE, AND I HAVE HEARD OF OTHERS DOING THIS AS WELL. Sometimes it works, other times it wont. Hit or miss.
[EVO 4G General] madsquabbles:
i've had this since day one. long pressing on links in xscope sometimes took multiple tries.
[EVO 4G General] orris:
I called Sprint and they are shipping me a new/referb phone. Didn't think I'd get it for a while but it shipped the next day and I should have it tomorrow. I hope I get a good one and the problem is fixed.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gas_75:
Hi,

I have just upgraded mi N1 to froyo with the official update.

I tried the tethering function and it works just fine except for the fact that i am not able to use the cisco VPN client from my laptop when connecting to the internet via tethering.

The VPN session works up to when it is already connected without any error but then it doesn't transfer any data.

Is the traffic filtered somehow? Did anyone find a workaround for this problem?

Thanks in advance

Gas
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
I was using CiscoVPN and now Juniper through N1's tethering, never a problem.

Check the connection - check that you have DNS servers and you can access public servers using ping, etc. From the laptop, I mean.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gas_75:
I finally got it to work.

The strange part is that it works when using WIFI tethering but fails when using USB tehtering.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] havoc256:
Same here.

I plug in my phone and turn on tethering. I can surf the web. I logon to VPN and then it wont let me connect to anything on the VPN. I decided to try turning the phone in to a hotspot, this works, i get connected. I VPN in and poof! i can hit all the servers. ... anyone else run in to something like this.

USB Tether + VPN and I cant hit anything on VPN

Wifi Hotspot + VPN and everything works as it should

Tmobile G2 - Stock

Cisco VPN software

Thanks
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] F3UTUS:
I had the same problem using USB tethering.

I found a solution:

- change at the Cisco client software the transport to "IPSec over TCP"

This worked for me fine.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mondegreen:
I had the same problem with Hotspot and Cicso VPN, and the change in transport protocol to "IPSec over TCP" fixed it. Thanks.

[HD2 General] spireite_uk:
Guys, I need a bit of advice please.

After an accidentally botched radio install (phone fell and disconnected from USB whilst flashing), my HD2 won't boot. It gets stuck on the multi-coloured 'initial screen' (for want of a better expression) with 'SPL-1.42.HPSL XE CotullaHSPL' on it.

I'm looking to do one of two things, either rescue it, or, PREFERABLY kill it completely so that the device does not even boot to that screen. I know that sounds like a strange preference, but that would be ideal for me. Have you got any suggestions at all guys?
[HD2 General] anrabi4:
If you want to send it back and get a new one, then you definetly have to remove HSPL. Get HSPL2 and try to flash 1.42.0000. If it works, your problem is solved! Simply take it to customer service, complain about it not booting all of a sudden and you`ll either get a new one or get yours fixed.

However... if you fail removing HSPL and

have no other option available

, try and microwave it, literally. Put it in a microwave oven until it refuses to boot, then take it back to customer service complaining about how it suddely stopped working.

Best of luck!
[HD2 General] spireite_uk:
Quite LITERALLY put it in the microwave and turn the microwave on?? For how long? Won't it just 'melt' the innerds, or blow up?
[HD2 General] anrabi4:
Yep. I did this to mine in 10 second intervals. The first time nothing happened, it just got hot. The second time, the vibrations stopped working. The third time nothing. The fourth time the screen started to fail (but STILL booted into the bootloader). The fifth time it only booted with a white screen and I stopped, as I had acheived what I wanted and the screen was already pretty damaged.
[HD2 General] spireite_uk:
Thanks, a very, er, interesting suggestion. However I want the phone to look the same, i.e undamaged! But be bricked. If it's not possible, then I'll have to try and rescue the poor thing :).
[HD2 General] anrabi4:
Best decision you could take. Hope you succeed!
[HD2 General] watcher64:
Does it show USB on the bootloader(multi-color) screen?

If it does you can flash a new radio/rom and maybe fix it ...

Or Flash from SDcard
[HD2 General] spireite_uk:
I've managed to flash it to stock 1.43 from SD card, which appears to have also removed the HSPL. This is a win. However, I would still like to brick the phone so I can get a brand new replacement... I really could use a sure fire (but safe, and does not cause hw damage) brick method.
[HD2 General] anrabi4:
hspl, task29, remove hspl. you`ll get a white htc logo screen without the ability to enter bootloader.
[HD2 General] iandooley:
However, I would still like to brick the phone so I can get a brand new replacement... I really could use a sure fire (but safe, and does not cause hw damage) brick method.

A friend (and yes - it was actually an friend and not me!) allegedly did this:

He took the socket from the end of an extension lead, put the plug into the mains socket and then

VERY CARFULLY

and very briefly touched the bare Live and Neutral wires onto the battery terminals in the phone.

240V into the circuit board apparently did the trick ;)

**** Disclaimer ****

I think he was very silly to do this cos he could've hurt himself so please don't follow his example!

Hmm, yes, a method that doesn't involve microwaves or 240 volts would be preferable :-).

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Winlockwood:
I have an ATT Tilt 2, and I've gone through roms like candy, and I still use the original USB cord that it had came with phone.

So I just bought a new computer a week ago, and ever since I can't seem to sync my phone up to my computer via usb cord (Bluetooth works fine). Now normally there's the steps to find the drivers, make sure active sync is enabled, make sure that small checkbox is checked or not. Data connection is enabled/disabled. Prompt when its connected to the comp, etcetc.

The problem is, the phone doesn't recognize that it's plugged into the computer, and just treats it as a power source. I've done some reading, and found there's a program that lets you trick it into thinking USB ports are power sources (fast charge or whatever) but I haven't downloaded nor install it.

Currently I'm running an EnergyRom rom, and I can't update it or change it.

I used to upgrade the rom every time NRG came out with an update, so I'm baffled to why all of a sudden it won't work.

Edit: I've tried connecting it to several computers, does the same thing. It won't realize it's connected to a computer.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cbeck:
Usually, if I pop out the battery, hit the power button a few times, then start it back, up... it will go back to working. The only times I ever seem to have this problem you are describing though is when I switch from active sync to "usb" (where it only looks at the storage card) and then when I switch back to active sync next time I plug it into a PC, it will not connect.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] agamahendra:
you should try to reinstall the activesync if you use xp.. hope itd help..

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
I've seen a lot of chatter regarding the desire to port over the mod that was created originally, I believe by PaY87, and then ported to the EVO by kubino99.

While I generally prefer to create my own stuff, versus porting other's work, there seemed to be enough demand / desire for this, that I decided to give it a try.

I take no credit for the original mod, which is quite smart in how it was done, rather, I simply cracked open the applicable framework file (services.jar) to try and determine what was modified, and then worked to incorporate these changes, which were vast into our CDMA Hero services.jar file.

This will NOT change your battery icon / graphic in any way, it will simply add, in white text, the percent battery left, inside of your existing battery icon. While this is nice to have, if you are like me, you are now going to drive yourself crazy watching the percent value tick down!

The linked zip files, to be flashed via recovery, as mentioned, modifies a framework file, and as such, your initial boot will take a while after flashing, as your dalvik-cache will get rebuilt. This was built off of the Fresh 2.3.3 services.jar file.

FYI, since this modifies the services.jar file, the same file contains a previous mod I had done for removing the clock from the taskbar. As such, if you still do not want the clock in the taskbar, you will have to flash the mod that contains both changes (included below).

its gonna kill me clicking the screen on just to see what number the batter says
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] rexant1:
mrinehart93 made a port for the hero, its just the circle battery icon, flash that one first then flash the one in here that JsChiSurf made and you will have the circle battery with percent in the middle.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
You can read a little about odex verssus deodex ROMs in Flipz's post here.

What it comes down to, however, is deodexing allows us to then more easily modify the binaries (compiled executable code), to make the mods we make, then re-compile and release.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] c00ller:
In general can I assume that a mod working for Fresh will (or at least might) also work on other de-odexed Sprint-based ROMs?
