First - Is there anyway of turning off the fade in ring tone? Anytime someone calls me and I have it set to ringer the ring tone I have selected whether its a default or custom one doesn't start ringing right away it fades in.

Second - Anyway of disabling the zoom buttons in the default browser? I find them to be completely unnecessary.

Thanks.
[Vibrant General] priide:
Bump.

Really guys? no one has noticed this?
[Vibrant General] frankcoronadojr:
Please, I too wud lk to know abt the fade in ringtone. I hate it.

Sent from my SGH-T959
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Neither can be resolved with this stock rom. Maybe with froyo. Both absolutely with cm6.
[Vibrant General] priide:
Thanks. Looks like samsung made some poor choices with touch wiz, feels rushed or just half assed.
[Vibrant General] sonnyg95:
Regarding the first, I thought I read somewhere that samsung put that functionality there so a user doesn't get a blaring sound right after ending a call. The fade is just enough time for t the user to move the phone away from his/her ear. Maybe someone can confirm?

I agree with #2
[Vibrant General] SykesAT:
+1 I hate the fade also...
[Vibrant General] XfooYen:
+1 If I want a fade, I'll ask my barber for one.
[Vibrant General] sj_martin:
I was just going to post the same question. Couldn't figure it out either.
[Vibrant General] agentscuba314:
I dont mind the fade, it saved me a couple times at work, at my job we are not suppose to have cell phones on, so it gives me a grace period to rush and hit the volume button.

Im just wondering how long we have to wait until media hub is unlocked...
[Vibrant General] PathogenX:
Fade? as in the music starts out low and then gets louder? That didn't bother me.

i agree with number 2. they are pretty useless with pinch to zoom.
[Vibrant General] kizer:
I personally like the fade in ring. I hate my buddies phones that ring louder than hell from the start and they just sit there and stare at it. I mean answer the !@#$ phone already.

With the fade in I hear it and I can pick it up before its annoying. I guess I consider myself respectable when I'm at a restaurant or at a gathering. Heck I don't even have music playing just a basic ringer because I don't pretend to be a rap star with my own music playing in the background to let everybody know I'm there. :D

The forced pinch to zoom on the browser is annoying as heck thou.
[Vibrant General] silverwolf0:
The fade in ringtone has been on cellphones for years and is probably some sort of safety regulation the US imposes, like mandatory camera shutter sounds. Samsung is free of blame from this issue at least.
[Vibrant General] ConceptVBS:
I prefer the fade. It prevents me from crapping my pants whenever I get a phone call.
[Vibrant General] ConceptVBS:
Try zooming in / out with one hand using pinch to zoom. Yeah.
[Vibrant General] dq13:
I was so happy when I saw that this phone had the fade in ringtone.. I rather have the phone in vibrate, but in case I'm walking or something and miss the vibration, I start hearing it and I can get the call... otherwise, the ringtone is for me to get the call, not for everyone at work or anywehre else to know my phone is ringing
[Vibrant General] kolyan:
fade is very nice feature. browser.....who uses stock browser anyway ?
[Vibrant General] badaphooko01:
for me the pinch to zoom is just an iphone novelty. I prefer the zoom buttons because it will zoom the text to fit the page. I only use the pinch to zoom because its cool looking not because its actually that functionable.
[Vibrant General] jshin100:
Hello all. Long time reader/lurker here. I'm coming from a Moto q, to a Touch Pro 2 and now a Vibrant. So all of this android stuff is new to me. Long story short, I have a Vibrant. I love it, but I get really terrible reception. No, I'm not stuck on the whole bars thing. The actual quality of my calls are weak. I get a lot of voice fading and my sister and a few others say I sound like I'm in a hole. I was wondering: is my old sim card the reason why I'm getting dropped calls and a lot of 'failed' text message errors? I also get a lot of 'network error messagess' when I'm on the browser or in youtube. I ask because yes, it's not a old sim card, but maybe a new one out the box could help me hold a signal or should I swap out? Sorry if it's a noob question.
[Vibrant General] watermonkey:
i went into the t-mobile store the other day and they said i should have been givin a new sim card with my vibrant, and that if your current sim is older than a year old you should get a new one, they gave me one for free. Everything seems about the same on the phone for me but it might fix your problem
[Vibrant General] jshin100:
Thanks for replying water monkey. Did you experience any problems as far as call quality or anything? I have dropped 4 calls since picking up the Vibrant and have had several failed text messages. It's kind of frustrating when the phone is so beautiful and expensive. Really hope the new sim will fix all my network/reception issues!
[Vibrant General] watermonkey:
no i didnt have any problems with dropped or fading calls but my card was only 2 years old, if yours is older then you might have problems
[Vibrant General] jshin100:
Mines is barely a year old. (Original sim from Touch Pro 2). Maybe it's an outage or something in my area? I'm in Chicago. Maybe that could be the reason.
[Vibrant General] Jon C:
My SIM card is over five years old. The problems I'm having appear to be the fault of the phone. The SIM works perfectly in every other phone I pop it into. :confused:
[Vibrant General] MMcCraryNJ:
My SIM card is from 2002 from when I first signed up with T-Mobile, it came with the original PocketPC Phone Edition. My network speeds are fine as you can see.
[Vibrant General] jshin100:
Reading that makes it even more frustrating... Guess I'll just take it back and start over with a new one/new sim card.
[Vibrant General] teronzhul:
My sim is also from 2002. I too have no issues.
[Vibrant General] jshin100:
You guys think doing a full swap will set things right? (new phone/new sim)?
[Vibrant General] Jon C:
It may just be the design of the phone, my man. Lots of us are having problems.

It could also just be bad coverage in your area? You'll have to check T-Mo's maps and see where you're sitting with coverage (voice and data have their own maps).

I have great coverage in my city, but my reception is extremely disappointing. It appears to be the only T-Mo device I've used that has these issues. My first Vibrant (that came stock with a broken headphone jack) had problems, and my second does as well.

You could try swapping the SIM and try a new Vibrant. I'll bet you'll have the same issues, unfortunately.

One test to try would be to compare your results with a friend's 3G phone (provided you have a friend on T-Mo). Use the phones in the same conditions, and see if both devices have issues. If it's only you, then you know it's your phone.
[Vibrant General] jshin100:
thanks guys. I think I'll just return it and maybe pick up a droid x. (I'm an official android convert)
[Vibrant General] All~G1:
Jon	C you should do the same thing. See how easy that was? Problem solved... Credit, exchange, sell or wait.

[Vibrant General] Jon C:
Oh, the old internet mob mentality... ;)
[Vibrant General] All~G1:
sorry, but thats my own opinion. I just dont understand why you still own the phone. Why put yourself through all this just to run out of time to claim buyers remorse? This phone is obviously not living up to your standard, do something about it.

[Captivate General] phishie:
Is everyone else's Stock Battery Indicator ridiculous inaccurate? I'm at 42% battery life currently (widget/spare parts) and the stock indicator shows a level around 65-75%.
[Captivate General] accinfo:
it's not 'inaccurate' samsung has set it like that. but if you want to tweak it, try search around.
[Captivate General] phishie:
Ah, correction, rather than inaccurate it just rounds up generously.
[Captivate General] TexUs:
Yea, that's common. They don't have very many level drops.

If anyone finds an app that can overlay a % (or replace it with a %) on top of the STOCK ICON, that'd be awesome. There's some that add an additional icon but I don't want that, that's just stupid to have two battery icons...

Also if anyone finds an app that can overlay a dBm signal in place of the signal strength meters that'd be awesome, too.
[Captivate General] derek4484:
Yes, I was wanting a NEW battery gauge, one that shows the percentage, not the ridiculous stock icon thats off by a mile. Also, I'm with you I dont want two battery icons up there. I guess its harder than I think it should be to create an app that does that.
[Captivate General] TexUs:
I'd assume since it's the TouchWiz UI that something specific to the Captivate would have to change the icon... That's my assumption anyway, I'm not a developer.
[Captivate General] spyz88:
You guys might want to try System Info Widget in the Market. Pretty good and definitely accurate.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
What annoys me is that Samsung has the numerical info in the about screen, so why not just create a toggle so we can go from bar to numeric....

I think they pulled an Apple and wanted the bars to always look bigger.
[Captivate General] TexUs:
I installed Battery Widget (the one with over 250K downloads)... Best thing for now...
[Captivate General] cliffgardner:
I noticed the same thing right away... Not sure if they thought users would miss this but its a little misleading..

Battery status widget works for me.

I was over at mydroidworld and they have a screenshot of Droid X running froyo (Android 2.2) it also had a upgraded baseband. Looked promising lets hope its not a hoax that is all.

This is all they have posted so far

http://yfrog.com/0xym4gj

Them claimining it isnt a hoax and

What I know:

** Yes it still has blur

** No it does not have the new froyo homescreen

** It behaves and looks just like current system.

Update:

Looks like some testers are starting to sell the Droid X with Froyo on Ebay. Several pics including a benchmark that was less than impressive. Also the units have flash.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrTheGeekGuy:
Just flashed CM6 onto my evo, in the process i lost all my sprint apps. I was curious if the sprint apps would still work on my evo, even with sense uninstalled, and if so, does anyone have the apks?

Thanks in advance
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBiles:
They should work. I believe you can download them all with the Fresh Evo ROM.

-------------
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spiicytuna:
To expand on this a little more. Download any 2.1 ROM that has the Sprint programs you wish to install. Extract the ROM. Go into the folder "system > app" and look for whatever .apk you need/want. Keep in mind not all of the Sprint apk's will work in 2.2. I personally have tried Sprint Navigation, VVM, and TV which all work great.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrTheGeekGuy:
the only ones i really wanted were VVM and TV anyway, thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigRick10:
Go to the themes and apps section. There is a thread with the title of CM6 tricks and tips. On the first post they have the apk's to the ones you want. I would link it but I'm on my phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] docsparks:
the voicemail app with Cyan i thought was the same as sprints vvm app, or atleast function the same to me.

I got the removed-apk's from the fresh thread, and sprint tv works for me.

Here are the VVM files I use, haven't had a problem, if you do run into some hiccups, hit up the CM6 thread and "Search this thread" for "voicemail" should find an answer to whatever ails you.

I just put these on my SD card and used EStrongs File Explorer to launch/install. Some people have said VVM takes a bit to lock in to your account but for me it was instantly.

Some dev in the market turned the nexus boot animation into a lwp, if you were to email him with a link to this thread, then he/she might be able to do it. It's a free app and in the top free section, but my phone is being tortured with experiments, so I can't check the name right now.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Daneshm90:
K im on it. Its as easy as replacing the images inside :rolleyes:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Daneshm90:
hehe its working. Just gotta make sure the loop is perfect :D

Ok, need a tester. Someone try this plz.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] david1171:
It works fine, and the size settings work, it's just skips slightly at the end, but it still works for it's comedic value.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Daneshm90:
Yea i'll look into that 2moro perhaps. Thing is his apk is using more pngs than this animation and the looping hence isnt perfect.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rottenjello138:
looks good but it's too small :(
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Daneshm90:
You can change its size if i recall, does that not work ? it shud b in live wallpaper settings.

Yay, i think i got it. Edited his code to use only the required number of images, this should allow us to make any bootanimation into a livewallpaper, in simpler terms a bunch of images into a live wallpaper.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rottenjello138:
ah you are right. i didn't notice that i could change the size my bad :o
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] david1171:
Frickin' sweet.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SBS_:
Do you mind sharing all the code for making the live wallpaper? I gave it a try, but I was unsucessfull to say the least heh
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Daneshm90:
Woot have it working perfectly :D

So now, i could actually create a batch script, where a user could place, images labelled from n01 to less than or equal to n49. Then the script could edit it appropriately and create the apk ;)

Posting perfect version of this animation in a sec.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] notxel21:
WOW!! This is great work!! Thanks! :D

Android FTW!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Daneshm90:
Alright, see how this goes.

I might make a thread / might not lol. Anyway, heres how it works, u download the zip, extract it and run Run.bat file. Then follow through.

Basically it'll repackage ur images into the apk and edit the code to accomodate for a perfect loop.

I have already incorporated this thread's animation into the zip, so if u want to test it, run Run.bat and input 14 as the number when it asks u, then just install the apk. Enjoy :)

Requirements : Java, Windows environment.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] notxel21:
Works great! :D Thanks. :cool: (screenshot attached)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Daneshm90:
Cool, try creating other lwp and see how well it works, i've only tried with this one. I'll give some others a try as well.

Oops i had forgotten to put something back in the script. I've updated/uploaded the previous post where i provided the link to download it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ultra spikey:
Your tool worked great...is it possible to create options for us to set the LWP Icon and title/description???

(You should definitely start your own thread)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Daneshm90:
Yup those are easy ones, only thing is icon, cuz it needs 3 (mdpi,hdpi,ldpi) so perhaps i'll just let user change hdpi for now cuz it is a nexus ;)

Name should be easy as pie. K i'll just create my own thread once i incorporate those changes :D

I m assuming you have the T-Mobile USA HTC HD2 if so the answer to your question is no. The andriod 2.1 with HTC sense version runs over WM6.5. I have been switching between the two ever since a stable andriod version came out. to do all of this you must have HSPL on your HTC device....to check for this turn off your phone and hold the volume down button and then hold the power button until the tri-color screen comes. check to see if you have the 2.08 HSPL if you dont GO HERE follow along and install the HSPL not the rom unless you want to. then after you have installed the HSPL look up the andriod thread.
