Just loaded pre7 and I was able to connect via my windows xp laptop without issue.

SSID broadcast itself properly, encryption via wep 128 worked just fine as did access control. Battery temp went to about 40c after 10 min or so of usage.

Is there anyway to do wpa or wpa2 encryption? I assume that will be in later builds once the core app is stable.

GREAT JOB!!!!

Stuck at Starting Screen

Hi, maybe someone can give me a hand?

I rooted using one-click root - ran perfect.

Installed pre7 with no issue, rebooted Vibrant and ran Wi-Fi Tether.

The app asked for Superuser permission and I said allow.

Touched the Logo and it said Please Wait Starting...

And that is where it stays... it seems to just hang. All I can do is pull the battery and restart.

Any Ideas?

**SOLVED:

During Rooting or installation of pre7 WiFi was disabled. After re-booting 3 times and turning on WiFi each time the issue has been resolved...

Hope this helps someone!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] roundyd:
Slow connection speeds

The pre7 works fine, but I'm having really slow connection speeds. My max download speed is 4kbps and upload is 2kbps if that. Am I missing something here? I tried just selecting 3g only and that didn't speed it up. If somebody can help, it would be much appreciated.

try making sure use wireless networks is check, that was another issue i had after i changed the SSID it didnt update the SSID that was being broad-casted to my laptop untill i checked that box? ..donno if it was a fluke or what give it a shot if its check uncheck it and re check it..
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] rorycs:
OK HELP!

This worked perfectly on first install. Now, it says the phone is in an unknown state all the time. I have tried rebooting, and pulling the battery. When that did not work I removed the app and re-installed it.... same result.

Any ideas?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] rorycs:
Anyone can help me? All I get is Unknown State....

I've deleted the app, re-installed, deleted and tried the previous version, rebooted, battery pulled? Any ideas?

Thanks

So I have this working but it says my download is .25mbps and upload is .65... that dosent seem right. i wonder what the deal is.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] rorycs:
Step 1: No problem... sorry

Step 2: I started with pre7 then downgraded to pre6 then pre5, now back at pre7. After each uninstall the device was rebooted. Also I rebooted after each installation.

Thanks for the assist...

** Update:

1. Pre7 would not work at all. At start said "Phone in unknown state". Tether would start and broadcast SSID but WIN7 Computer could not connect (it never got an ip)

2. Pre6 - same as above

3. Pre5 - At start displays "Phone in unknown state". Tether starts in any event and computer can connect. Initial connection shows "No internet access but full connection is established after 60 sec. Reboot does not eliminate phone in unknown state message.

Question: I used One-Click Root from my Win7 PC. In looking at the issues for other devices there seems to be a question of whether a root is a full root. Could this be a contributing factor?

No it requires root. If you dont want to root you'll have to go the Barnacle route.

Pre8 WEP works fine with my Win7 x64 laptop. I tried pre7 first, and it worked, but I had to update my wifi drivers on my laptop. The Intel 5300 AGN chipsets need a relatively new driver to connect to adhoc networks. See

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] robiatti:
Sorry I haven't updated in a while. My Vibrant crapped on me and I am waiting

on my T-Mo store to get a new Batch date of phones in before I buy another one.

My 1st one had GPS issues..

The 2nd one had problems with Fit n finish .. (it was a rattle box) loose Volume buttons and chrome trim..

It seems like there may be a problem with Samsungs Quality control dept.

Hopefully 3rd time will be a charm

My friend's been using my Nexus one since I've been playing with the new iPhone...

He told me this morning, while it was on the charger, he was sending a text when the phone powered off. Hasn't powered on since...

I tried removing the battery and re-inserting, removing the battery plugging it into the wall and putting the battery in... tried holding trackball + power to turn on... nothing...

Now it just sits here with the orange charging light.... if on the wall adapter without battery it blinks between green/orange...

Any ideas how to bring it back to life? I can't call HTC because I did a DIY digitizer replacement...

Don't know if this will help you, but my power button is broke, so I can only cut the phone on if I insert the usb cable, wait for the light to come on, pull the battery, and as soon as the light goes out put the battery back into the phone, and it will cut on after a second or two.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaptorRVL:
I hope someone might have the answer to this problem:

I'm using my Desire with a Nokia CK-100 carkit (which works perfectly), but also like it when the navigation directions are spoken via the A2DP.

Now all the audio works just fine via A2DP, but there is a delay before the audio is being played over the car speakers. This usually results in only hearing the directions after like 1-2 secs, thus I'm missing half the directions!

Read: I'd like to listen to my car radio, but have the directions over the speakers. And then the radio sounds/music are being muted by the CK100 carkit.

So: Does anyone know if it's possible to either change the way the directions/speech behaves? For example: add 1-2 seconds of 'silence' in front of the directions, or just some bogus word might help too :D.

Or perhaps there is a tweak that makes the switch faster and eliminate the 1-2 seconds delay before the sound is played over the speakers (I guess this might be a thing that has to do with the carkit, and not the Desire).

On a more 'funny' note, my Hero plays the directions just fine over the A2DP. But I think that has to do with the Hero being slower. I guess the Desire starts talking too fast, and then the CK100 doesn't have enough time to switch (or better, on the Hero the talking starts áfter the switch, with the Desire right away during the switch).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] e.gammieri:
I have the same issue with Bluetooth headset HTC BH M300

At moment I disable the media connection on the Bluetooth headset options so I can hear the Google maps direction from the speaker of Desire...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaptorRVL:
Yeah, at the moment that's my solution as well. But some tweak which 'starts' the audio 2 seconds earlier (with 1-2 second silent gap then) would be best.

Perhaps the instructions can be modified in some way? I'm not 100% sure how that's done with Google Navigation. I believe it's done via the speech synthesis right? So perhaps there is some file in which the directions are stored? That might be the first step.

Maybe someone who has been digging around in the Google Navigation knows more about this?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EDV11:
Didn't know that fix...

What do I loose after disabling media connection? I guess that bluetooth music playback. If that's all that will be my definite fix...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaptorRVL:
Yep, no more audio over the bluetooth. But the phone/carkit will still work just fine.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaptorRVL:
The update to FroYo 'fixed' my problem! I can now hear the most important part of the directions. Yay! :D

So you might want to give it a try again after updating.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] e.gammieri:
After official froyo update and with latest Google Maps installed the audio problem is still here :'(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aenis:
I have the same problem.

I'm using the Parrot MKi9100 carkit and LeeDroid 2.0c Froyo rom.

Im using Sygic Drive 10 and first 1-2 sec of the instruction is cut-off when conected to the bluetooth. The same behaviour was over my BluAnt headset.

However Sygic over my Nokia e71 didn't had that issues.

Also I have other problem is when using Google Maps first 1-2 seconds are playing fine but the other part is silenced? Other way around!

Does somebody have any solution to this?
[Vibrant Accessories] bobofosho123:
Hello everyone,

I have one hell of a story to tell about one boy, two phones (the htc hd2 and the samsung vibrant), and one freakin' committed customer service team (T-Mobile's). OK, so I'll begin my story of how I ended up with a brand-new Vibrant for essentially 350 bucks. Bear with me here, it's a bit long. So, I originally purchased an htc hd2 way back in mid-June for 300 bucks on Craigslist. The phone ended up being defective because of a hardware issue, and because it happened to be under the "buyer's remorse" period, at least the way T-Mobile saw it, I was able to return it by mail for a brand new one for free. I was surprised when I called to learn that T-Mobile didn't require a single piece of information to verify that I was the original owner of the phone, all they saw was that an htc hd2 had magically been activated on such and such a date. So, I returned that hd2 and recieved a new one in a couple of days, which ended up being just as buggy as the last one, so I decided to abandon the hd2 altogether in exchange for the Samsung Vibrant. I called T-Mobile customer service today to setup the exchange for the vibrant, which would cost me 50 bucks since the hd2 cost 450 and the vibrant costs 500, and I was FINALLY told that they had no record of me ever buying an hd2 (I wonder why, lol). I then explained to them that I wasn't the original owner of the phone and that I had bought it from the original owner, but that the phone had been purchased only a few days before they sold it to me. They told me at first that I would have contact the original owner and get the 450 bucks credited back to there account. The only problem was that I had no way of contacting the original owner, and that they had switched carriers almost immediately after purchasing the hd2. After about four hours, and many many phone calls later, I called t-mobile one last time to explain my situation, keep in mind that I was totally honest the entire time, I reached a very nice customer service rep, and after explaining what had happened to me, and after speaking to her supervisor for over ten minutes, she told me that even though they almost never do this, that they would "take my word for it" and send the vibrant, no questions asked, for basically 50 bucks. I was over the moon considering that less than 5 minutes ago I had thought that I had thrown away 300 dollars. I would like to give some major props to T-Mobile's customer support, never in a million years would I have expected a customer service team work so hard to keep a a customer happy. Talk about going the distance. Well, that's my story. Tell me what you think, and what your experiences with them have been like.

Peace, bobofosho12:D
[Vibrant Accessories] Alex530:
I got mine for $164 and i wasnt even due for a full upgrade. Got my phone around august. Even my sister which is due for a full upgrade has to pay more. So i think im super lucky except for the tax and all that
[Vibrant Accessories] minogue:
Yeah, its an online Special. However i Would Suggest your sister to call T-mobile and ask to be transfered to the Loyalty Department to get hers. because she will get a good deal as her contract is up...... They will give it to her at full Discount and provide her with a data plan of $24.99 a month. instead of $30.00 like you got... and she wont have to pay no upgrade fee's whatsoever.
[Vibrant Accessories] tengtengvn:
Same here. I renewed my contract last year, so did my GF. We both are eligible for full discount so I jump on it right away.:p
[Vibrant Accessories] bobofosho123:
I hate buying ANYTHING with a contract, I know that even though I might pay through the nose up front, i'm saving tons more than I would if I had a contract for two years. I just generally buy an "almost" brand new phone on someplace like Craigslist and then I return it to T-mobile and get a brand new one for free, hence what I did with the hd2. Just my strategy though.
[Vibrant Accessories] Alex530:
I have the 24.99 data plan and i will thanks for the info:)
[Vibrant Accessories] kboater:
my story on getting the vibrant new WITHOUT a contract for $133. Please note, this cannot be duplicated anymore as the "loop hole" has been caught and closed. I noticed this post on slickdeals.net the 2nd day it had been posted:

http://slickdeals.net/forums/showthread.php?t=2132124

So basically costco has the cell phone kiosk's which sell tmobile and a few other carriers. as we know, T-mobile offers and "even more plus" program with is NO contract. also as we know that if we went to tmobile and got a vibrant with this even more plus program is $500.

BUT for the first 3 or 4 days that costco sold the vibrant they were selling it for $250 with the "even more plus" plan or $99 with contract. EDIT( this $250 price was a wholesale price they were offering)

so went there and bought 2 samsung vibrants for 250$ each plus tax. ended up being about $540 by opening 2 new lines on the "even more plus" plan. note that this is different then the "even more" plan which is a contract. Even though "even more plus" is not a contract, costco would not sell the phone without an actual plan but thats ok because this "even more plus plan is no contract because normally you pay full price for the phone.

so then because the "even more plus" plan is not a contract, I called t mobile and told them that I want to cancel the even more plus plan and that I paid full price for the phone. (which i did pay costco's full price). they canceled the plans over the phone on the first try without any hassel :) (some people had a little trouble canceling)

So then i sold 1 on ebay for $485 including shipping and kept one for myself. After paying shipping, ebay listing fees, selling fees, and paypal fees. I came out basically paying the difference which is only about $130 for my new, NON contract vibrant :)

keep in mind I already have a tmobile contract from my mytouch, so i just put the sim card in the new vibrant and was good to go.

Costco and Tmobile both caught on to this within days, and now it went from 250 to 479 the day after i got mine.

so i basically ended up paying $130 for a New Vibrant, not subsidized, and non contract :) even less then if I had signed a new 2 year contract.

If so many people had not ONLY gotten this deal just to sell all the phones on ebay and craigslist, the deal probably would have lasted a little longer. (i just sold 1 to offset the cost of buying one for myself)

so keep in mind, this deal is now dead, and no one has had success trying to replicate it since the price change because costco and tmobile had caught on quickly.

Im still under contract with tmobile for another year because i bought mytouch last year. Wife's phone is still eligible for an upgrade I can use later this year :)
[Vibrant Accessories] heatfan:
I got mine for $100 after $50 mail in rebate. I bought mine at Costco warehouse . It included the car charger, a carrying case and a Bluetooth headset.
[Vibrant Accessories] engineer14:
still cant beleive you guys didnt just spam these forums spreading the good news on the price. so sad.

well thankfully, i got mine on bing cashback and so the phone might end up being $350 for me.

oh what i could have done with $100 extra, sigh

by the way did you need to be a costco member to get that price or could anyone get it?
[Vibrant Accessories] masterotaku:
I actually got mine for free, but in an extremely roundabout and lucky sort of way.

Got a Samsung Behold II with a new contract at the beginning of June for free from Letstalk.com. I won't rehash all the ridiculous problems I had with the phone, as it's fairly legendary at this point.

Had even more problems after the now infamous 1.6 OTA update, took my problems to T-Mobile corporate, and after 2 weeks worth of emails and phonecalls with their director of customer relations they basically convinced Samsung to toss me a Vibrant to make me happy enough to go away and leave them alone.

I sort of rode out the "perfect storm" here and was just in the right place at the right time. Still, this is the best free phone I've ever had! :)

LAST UPDATE to this thread.

RC1 of Collin_ph battery tweak has been released.

Due to several changes, etc.. I'm starting a new thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=762283

Newest!

UPDATE - Beta 10 released 08/16/2010

Sorry about 2 updates really quick-- this latest release was to address 2 bugs that cropped up.

Description: Battery tweak is a collection of settings that enable the hero to optimize battery lifetime. I get 35+ hours on my hero with the tweak installed with the normal 691mhz settings. When on battery power, the cpu is gradually lowered (configurable) as the battery drains, and when put on power, the cpu is put into high performance mode. Most settings are configurable.

Beta 6 includes an optional LED fix if your charging LED is hanging, and some optional performance tweaks to the cfs scheduler. For more information see the documentation linked below.

Simply download the tweak and flash.

Reboot and under adb shell run batt-cfg

Note: Make sure you are root first by running su if you are going to run batt-cfg through terminal.

You may change the settings at any time by running batt-cfg again and settings will take effect without rebooting.

New verison as of 08/16

http://www.primoweb.com/froyo/collin_ph_battery_tweak_v3_beta10.zip

Documentation (Updated for Beta 10):

http://www.primoweb.com/froyo/battery_tweak_v3.html

This tweak will conflict with setCPU and OCWidget, so please disable them.

Can I say it again. Don't use set CPU, or OCWidget. You don't need them with this tweak. If you want to customize your CPU, simply run the customize utility in batt-cfg -- you can set your min/max clock speeds there. Thanks!

Feature list:

Customizable Battery Tweak with 2 presets

LED Fix for charging LEDs that are stuck on

Experimental CFS (completely fair scheduler) performance tweaks

Audio quality fix for froyo (disables stagefright)

Disk tweaks (mounts all mount points noatime,nodiratime)

Probably more I'm missing.

Edit:

If you want to try this tweak in another rom, your rom will need a /system/etc/init.local.rc file-- that's where the service is started.

Additionally, it won't do much good unless it's on a clockable kernel.

There are other prerequisites such as sh existing in /system/bin but generally speaking if it starts up, it should work. If your rom has no /system/etc/init.local.rc, you can add the file and "import" it (I believe), within the init.rc of the boot image, but it'll require a little work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Papa Smurf151:
is there a way to get this tweak to work on a 2.1 sense rom
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
It should work with any .29 kernel that's has the same structuring as toasts/darchs, so theoreticaly, it'll work with any ROM really.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] secondskin:
Can this be done if I'm using the darch overclock undervolt kernel for Fresh 2. 3. 3? The reason I'm asking is because my battery life is already good with darch's kernel but if I can flash this on top of what I'm using that would be great.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
Only way to find out, try it.
