[Vibrant General] LatinSilEighty:
Ive had the N1 and to be honest where it failed for me was the reception wasnt that great where i lived, everything else was nice and i do miss my flash (for flashlight reasons) but IMO the vibrant is a lot better in many ways, screen, reception, and being able to play my emulators are 3 reasons, plus i really like the small things that samsung implemented here and there, like the wifi and gps in the notification bar.

The vibrant running 2.1 is just as good as the nexus running 2.2 so what you think is gonna happen when the vibrant gets 2.2? the stupid little issues here and there are things that can be fixed with a minor update,I actually fixed my GPS and slow market issues with a factory reset and its super fast IMO runs faster than the Nexus in many ways.
[Vibrant General] speoples20:
Honestly its really up to the person. Each person is going to like phones differently. Spec wise though I think the Vibrant has the N1 beat. Larger better screen, better CPU, more storage space, better camera. The N1 has a flash, track ball and 2.2. Of course it has more online support, its been out for 7 months. Give the Vibrant sometime and it will have a lot of support too.
[Vibrant General] martin0641:
People keep citing reasons for swapping that really aren't reasons at all - they just don't know which programs to use on the vibrant to enable functionality. They are just used to their n1, and seem stuck in a rut.

[Vibrant General] Gr8gorilla:
I sold my N1 on Ebay and ordered a Vibrant. I love the Vibrant. The touch screen responsiveness is amazing compared to the N1. The screen is much better. But consider that I bought the N1 at release, one of the initial 20,000. I had none of the problems others had with it, but it is 6 mos later so there is bound to be a better phone out there. It is just trading up. I wanted TV out. I could sacrifice a trackball for that. Overall I think the N1 was an amazing and groundbreaking device, but 6 mos later, the Vibrant is the most powerful device on the market.

When I am listening to Pandora with headphones I can usually hear a weird popping noise. It almost sounds like the speakers are going to pop or something. I really only notice it in Pandora and not while listening to mp3s. I have tried a cooked pairs of headphones and while neither pair is incredibly expensive I can hear it in both.

Any ideas, maybe something to so with Pandora itself?

Hi, on the tabs on the bottom of our screens, when i touch the Library one, sometimes i get a picture of an album i never downloaded, called Paloma sidestepper.

The thing is, once i get this picture my Library function freezes, and i cant play any MP3 from my library, or even a cant play that Paloma one..

The only way i can listen to my music is by using the file explorer

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toneman1984:
I apologize ahead of time for newbness.

I was up for days reading on these forums and ended up rooting my phone, installing baked snacks, and FPS kernel fix.

I halfway remember using a program that had 4 buttons on it, which you clicked on in order, and your phone became rooted. This was at a friend's house on their computer.

By the time I slept and morning came around my phone was running 52 fps with stdv of 6.

Whenever I use 4g the webpages load about halfway and then stop. I have to refresh 3 or four times to get it to fully load.

Under about phone it says:

firmware version 2.1-update1

Baseband vers: 2.05.00.06.10

Kernel version: 2.6.29-netarchy-toastmod

Build number: 1.47.651.1 Bakes snack

PRI: 1.34_003

PRL version: 60668.

I've flashed other versions of Baked snack and other versions of the FPS fix and they all ran slow so I'm running the very first things I flashed. Is there a way to check to see if I'm fully rooted with nand unlocked. I'm able to flash roms through Rom manager with Clockwork. Any advice on the 4g loading pages halfway?

Thankyou
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sturmen:
Boot up into HBOOT (Turn off, hold power+volume down) and look at the HBOOT version. If you're fully rooted, it should say 0.76.2000, but if you're not, it's like 0.79.0000 or something. So, yeah.

0.76 = full root w/ NAND unlock

0.79 = try again
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toneman1984:

thanks in advance
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
Well are you hoping to flash a custom ROM? If so, you'll need to download the ROM and copy it to the root of your SD card. Then when you boot to recovery, choose the options to wipe data, wipe cache, and then install a zip from SD. If you want to back up your phone, choose the Nandroid option.

You got pretty far without knowing how to complete your journey. :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdjozwia:
so if i click nandroid that will back up what my phone is set at now?

what is a good custom rom to use ?

I would like to have wifi tether but do not have 4g and probly wouldnt use it very often, i read something that there was a stock rooted rom? I also do not want to lose my camera?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
Start here:

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Evo_ROMs

Then just read up on the dev pages/threads for the popular ROMs. I use Fresh 1.0.1 with the netarchy 3.7.3c Fresh-compatible kernel (haven't switched to the new one that just came out today). Camera works great, wifi tether app is built-in. If you want that, download both (just search here), put them on your SD card, reboot to recovery, and flash the ROM, then the kernel. You don't have to flash a new kernel or even radio if you don't want to, but everything is installed the same. Usually reading a couple of pages for each ROM will tell you if there are an problems. Other options are the stock rooted ROM, DamageControl, Baked snack, or there are a couple of new ones for Froyo as well, but they have some features left out (like 4G, wifi, MMS . . . depends on the ROM).

Nandroid (or, inside Android, ROM Manager) will make a system image for you, saving everything exactly as it is. To restore, boot to recovery and choose the correct options for that. Should be pretty self-explanatory.

Always wipe data and cache before flashing, and it's a good idea to search Google for Cyanogen's recommendations for recalibrating your battery (it's on his wiki). Just don't flash a stock, non-rooted ROM or any OTA updates that Sprint tries to push on you. Always get something that the devs here say is safe for rooted phones.

Hope that clears some things up for you.

Ok so the ubuntu install now works on slide credit goes to eratosthene he updated all the files to make it work all other credit goes to the dev’s listed on the links provided. FYI this was tested on eugenes latest froyo rom.

1.	Go to http://nexusonehacks.net/nexus-one-hacks/how-to-install-ubuntu-on-your-nexus-oneandroid/ download the ubuntu.zip file .

2.	Unzip to a location on your pc to a folder named ubuntu.

3.	Download the ubuntu-slide-v2 from here.

4.	Unzip the ubuntu-slide-v2 to the same folder you used in step 2.

5.	Create a ubuntu folder on the root of your sdcard .

6.	Connect your Slide to the pc verify debugging enabled and storage disabled.

7.	Adb push the files in the ubuntu folder to the /sdcard/ubuntu.

8.	Then adb shell.

9.	cd /sdcard then sh ubuntu.sh

Note: At this point, the scripts are now located in /data/local/bin and the mount point is /data/local/mnt

10.	sh /data/local/bin/bootubuntu

11.	you should now see root@localhost:/#

Note : install completed only do the following if you want to access ubuntu from android vnc app.

12.	apt-get update

13.	apt-get install tightvncserver

14.	export USER=root

15.	vncserver -geometry 480x320

16.	• Run the android-vnc-viewer app and specify localhost port 5901 .

Here's an updated zip for you guys. The process is generally the same as on the above-linked nexus one version, I just changed the scripts to move a few files to different places. You'll need to download ubuntu.zip from that post as well. Summary:

unzip ubuntu.zip somewhere

unzip ubuntu-slide.zip in the same place, replace all the files

make a directory called 'ubuntu' on your sdcard

adb push all the files in the zip to that directory

adb shell

cd /sdcard/ubuntu

sh ubuntu.sh

At this point, the scripts are now located in /data/local/bin and the mount point is /data/local/mnt

sh /data/local/bin/bootubuntu

You're now chrooted into the ubuntu install. Have fun.

What rom are you using? It looks like you don't have the ext3 module built into your kernel. I set my scripts up to use ext3 (more reliable, I really don't care that it eats into the life of my sd card), but many roms only have ext2. You might try uncommenting the first line of bootubuntu, and changing the ext3 to ext2 on line 10.

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eratosthene:
You could try running each command in the bootubuntu file one at a time on the command line, and see where the error is actually occurring. It still sounds like ubuntu.img file is not mounting correctly. First of all, verify that the folder /data/local/mnt exists, then try the following at the command line (either terminal or in adb):

mknod /dev/loop2 b 7 0

Then verify that the file /dev/loop2 exists. If it does, continue with:

mount -o loop,noatime -t ext3 /sdcard/ubuntu/ubuntu.img /data/local/mnt

or

mount -o loop,noatime -t ext2 /sdcard/ubuntu/ubuntu.img /data/local/mnt

If either of those work, then that is the one you need to use in the bootubuntu file. If they don't, then we'll try something else.

Does the file /sdcard/ubuntu/ubuntu.img exist? Also, you need the sdcard to not be mounted to your computer, or else the phone is not able to access files on the sd card. If you have it plugged in via usb, you need to tell it NOT to mount the drive as a mass storage device.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bled82:
Yes the folder and file are there , and yes usb storage is disconnected and debugging enabled , I believe the problem is that the mount location is /dat/local/mnt which is read only , would it need to be read write for the mount to be placed there ?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eratosthene:
Anything on /data should be rw by default, that's where all your apps and their data go. You can check it by running mount and looking for something like '/dev/block/mtdblock5 /data yaffs2 rw,nosuid,nodev 0 0'. A couple more things to try:

First, run 'rm -r /data/local/mnt/*', since it looks like you might have accidentally created some files there.

Run 'losetup -f', that should return the first unused loop device. If it doesn't work, you have some kernel issues. If it does, it should return something like '/dev/loop0'.

Then try running 'mknod /dev/loop0 b 7 0' (use whatever loop device the previous command returned). Verify that the file /dev/loop0 (or whatever) exists.

Run 'losetup /dev/loop0 /sdcard/ubuntu/ubuntu.img'.

Run 'mount -o noatime -t ext3 /dev/loop0 /data/local/mnt' , or if that fails, try it with ext2 intead of ext3.

At this point, you should have the ubuntu image mounted on /data/local/mnt. You can do an ls to verify that. If ALL THAT WORKED, then I will happily rewrite the bootubuntu script to include all of that.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bled82:
OK , So looks like that may have done it , my brain is fried today sorry , but what do i do now to boot it ? here is the screen shot .
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eratosthene:
Awesome, glad to see progress. I'll rewrite my script to handle this, and edit this post with an updated zip file.

Edit: new zip file attached, same instructions per my earlier post. Or, if you already did everything else, just unzip it and copy bootubuntu to /data/local/bin, then run chmod 4755 /data/local/bin/* . By default, the bootubuntu script mounts the image as ext2, but if you run it as '/data/local/bin/bootubuntu ext3' , it will mount as ext3, for those of you who can.
