[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dc_striker:
Cause no one bothers to google it or search the forums. How hard is it to do it especially adb commands. I would understand if it was something more complicated but its not.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
99% or more of the time, the effort that goes into flaming someone could have been more than enough to answer the question in the first place. I am very technical-minded so I easily get frustrated by some questions, but why actually be so negative when you could give some useful information like Andrew did... a push in the right direction AND a hint to Google for more information without getting on a high horse.

My observations leads me to the simple answer that sometimes we all need reminded of our alternatives. I have almost 30 years technical experience and sometimes I still have to take a step back and realize that I can easily solve something myself by taking a different route.

A lot of people aren't being lazy, they just aren't search gurus, which is an art, not a science. I will also say that most forum's search functions lack the power to really effectively narrow down search results for some things. Now I'm going get of my own soapbox and try to continue being constructive.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captainkrtek:
Well since no one will actually explain ill put adb into lehmans terms, ADB is the Android Debug Bridge and is part of the Android SDK . It allows a developer to push files to certains parts of the phones memory, boot to the bootloader, enter shell commands, and much more. ADB is simply an interface for a developer to send commands and to test things without opening a terminal on the phone or using an emulator
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ddukes76:
Thanks Cap.... I truly wanted to know why an how it worked, not just told what to do. You gave me general understanding, I commend you my friend
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deman8899:
yeah, adb just tells you everything. adb shell is direct access to a terminal that is on phones filesystem
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captainkrtek:
No problem, glad I could help :)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshw0000:
I recommend downloading root explorer. A lot (not all) of the adb commands do the same thing that root explorer allows you to do. It allows you to open and view, modify, delete, and replace system files. I use it to change my boot animations, delete unwanted system apps, change Verizon (or whatever appears) on the lockscreen to my own personal message, and copy system files (i.e. the rom I'm on now has some sweet ringtones I've never had access to. So I'll copy them to the sd in case I decide to change roms in the future).

Beware....like adb commands, if you change or delete the wrong file you can brick your phone. So, like I said earlier, you still need to do some research.

PM me if you need help and I'll do what I can.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] sajber87:
First to greet you all and already at the start to seek help. I have read that SGS supports subtitles but I do not know how to put them while watching a movie. If somewhere can find a solution then to this forum. Sorry about my English, if there are some linguistic errors blame google not me. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] coretheory:
Which type of subtitles do you want to use?

You can try soul player, which supports smi and srt.

Cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sajber87:
I use the srt subtitles.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DaRkMyk:
my post might help you..

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6902833&postcount=9

or if you already have the srt subtitle.. download media players in the market namely mVideoplayer or Meridian.

just make sure the video & subtitle filenames are identical & differs only on their extension.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sajber87:
thank you very much, working, I was left with even a small problem because some letters in the Serbian language shows the symbols but the main part of the problem is solved. Thanks again
[Desire General] dg5976:
Anyway to set how you can answer an incoming call?

Right now i have to slide the bar downwards to answer.

Any other way to set how to answer. Like touching a certain number / button?

Thanks
[Desire General] sbdags:
Not that I'm aware of. What's the problem with sliding the bar down or up?
[Desire General] dpk:
I don't know if the OP has this problem, but I personally find that when taking the phone out of a pocket or case, it slides it down and answers.
[Desire General] mercianary:
flash a non sense rom.
[Desire General] dg5976:
Thanks

That the issue im having when someone cal and its in my pockets its hangs up the call. I guess the only solution is the non sense rom. :(
[Vibrant General] iunlock:
So I'm trying hard to keep my phone from getting even one scratch until my cases come in, which should be any day now.....

....then today I freakin' drop it on the concrete by accident. :(

I feel like $#!t ...my heart sank.... damn it!!!

BUT, on the bright side I am very surprised on how well it took the hit. The phone dropped and actually rolled a couple of times, yet it only marked up the plastic/metal looking trim that goes around the phone.

By any chance do you think the rim piece would be available later for a replacement part? Gosh I sure hope so. I'm desperate to go rip off the trim at the T-Mobile store :rolleyes:

...I keep telling myself....it could have been worse right?

Bottom line: For how hard it hit the concrete, I'm impressed...since it was dark I was thinking it was going to be way worse, until I held it to the light to see the damage. Thank goodness for not a cracked screen....

BTW: I have the 3M screen protector. If it wasn't for that it would have for sure had some mean scratches on the screen....sigh..
[Vibrant General] Mithent:
Ouch.. I did the same with my new Touch Pro (current phone) and it also ended up with some dings on the sides, but that phone's partially metal with a plastic screen.

Since one of the frequent criticisms of this series of phones is the build quality, glad it looks like the Vibrant's made pretty well after all if it can survive that with only cosmetic damage.
[Vibrant General] Berserk87:
you should put a warning in the title, those pics are way to graphic.

:'(
[Vibrant General] iunlock:
Yea I agree that the Vibrant is well made. I've read a lot of some people commenting on the material and all, but obviously they have no idea how well the made it is. Heck, I'm kind of glad it wasn't heavy and bulky.....

"THE heavier they are the harder they fall..."

Kudos Vibrant....just can't wait to put a case on it to mask the scars....Soldier.
[Vibrant General] iunlock:
I know brother....I'm slowly getting over it though.... I can't wait until my black case comes in so I can put it on. At least I won't see the scars....
[Vibrant General] disturkis4u:
I dropped mine on the sidewalk few days ago and it just scratched up the top of the back lid so I just swapped it. My heart stopped for 2 minutes and I was afraid to look at my screen because when I dropped my hd2 it shattered the screen
[Vibrant General] acspin:
Does the 3m screen protector reduce the quality of the SAMOLED screen a lot, or make it sticky?

Those pictures are nasty :eek: Hope you get your case soon!
[Vibrant General] pepperonihead:
OH MAN. I am week in the knees just looking at it!
[Vibrant General] b0ricuaguerrero:
more like nsfw.

:eek: dam that hurt me. i just got mine last night, hope i dont do the same
[Vibrant General] kraftey:
A gel skin would cover those up nicely. I decided to get one in the first place because even though I love the feeling of this phone without the skin on, I hate scratches/dents a lot more.

I had a bad track record with my G1 too... dropped it like 4 times :(
[Vibrant General] air2k57:
You should link me to where you bought your screen protector. I got Tmobile generic ones, but they suck, so I bought one from eBay. What I've got was this super thick, weird feeling protector, leaves too many bubbles, sucked. Bought another one, which is identical to ones you buy at the store, works good, but doesn't cover the bottom part of the phone.
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
I got mine from ClearFreak via Ebay - you cannot even tell it is on, I do have one air bubble trapped and it's a bit annoying on the bottom of the screen, I always feel it when swyping
[Vibrant General] christpuncher:
Don't be too sad. I got a screen scratch the other day. Of course its real tiny and when I point it out to others, they can't even see it. But its all I see.
[Vibrant General] all4degame:
At least you got it over with. Now no more worries about dropping your phone. lol
[Vibrant General] DKYang:
At least you can cover it with a case, unlike scratches on a screen. :eek:
[Vibrant General] tq745:
Ouch! That looks like it hurts.

Feeling Vibrant on xda-app
[Vibrant General] iunlock:
The best one IMO is the one from clearfreak, which is the one I have. Just make sure when applying it, to follow their directions. You have to spray it with water, wet your fingers and squeegee the water out with the little tool it comes with.

It's made out of 3M and you can't even tell it's on. All the other screen protectors like the generic ones really mess up the touch response. It's not as responsive from what I've noticed. Stay away from chEapBAY if you know what I mean...those are all pieces of junk from china, hence 5x protectors for $0.99US
[Vibrant General] iunlock:
Same one I have and I love it....the 3M stuff is awesome, thank goodness if it wasn't for it I would have definitely have scratches from the fall.

You should write them and ask to exchange your screen protector. I actually got mine swapped out because I had some annoying lint on the sides and couldn't get it out so they swapped it.
[Vibrant General] iunlock:
I know that feeling! My heart literally stopped....The whole freakin' world stopped LOL....

I once had an HD2 as well and that thing weighs a ton. Bigger it is the harder it falls...That phones like half glass....miserable phone.
[Vibrant General] iunlock:
Very interesting you asked that because I was curious at first as well. However, I must say that once I did put it on, it didn't alter the quality at all.

As for it being sticky, I assume you mean on the surface when you glide your fingers across it right? Well...it depends if your hands are dry or not....it really doesn't bother me and I think it works fine...the only time it may be a little resistant is when your hands are sweaty. I think that would go for most all screen protectors though...
[Vibrant General] air2k57:
Haha, I've had that phone too! It felt flimsy, yet I liked it for how light it felt for having such large screen. Ended up switching to sprint for a month, hated the service, but did get the evo. Evo is like twice as heavy as Hd2. At least with evo you have a device you can smack robbers with, where Hd2 would just shatter lol.
[Vibrant General] captain_awesome:
glad to see the screen took a corner hit like that and survived. :) nice
[Vibrant General] iunlock:
I wonder if there will be replacement part for the trim? hhmmm....I'm also curious how it's held on there...clips or glue...
[Vibrant General] jonathan75:
I got the rubber cover from T-Mobile and it feels great in your hands. It will cover the damage well too.
[Vibrant General] iunlock:
That's actually a real good case for it being rubber. I totally should have bought one when I was at the store.

Are you experiencing lint problems with the rubber case? That's one of the reasons I didn't it from my past experiences with rubber cases.
[Vibrant General] jonathan75:
No lint at all. It looks really nice so far. I can picture in the future maybe some dead skin cell build up but nothing a little dish soap and warm water couldn't fix and it would look like new again! I am very impressed with the quality and feel for a reasonable price! The buttons on the side work great too.

But something of note I confirmed today. It will effect GPS reception. I did side by side comparisons and testing against itself on SNR's. It does cause a drop and may even cost you a lock sometimes. But that wouldn't stop me from getting it, I would just take it out of the case if I really needed to use it in the car for navigation. If they fix the lock problem where it will lock to more then one or two satellites then it will be a non issue.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
No it doesn't, I have one and my GPS is the same. Don't spread around misinformation.
[Vibrant General] humblehyper:
Wow that is so graphic! :)
[Vibrant General] Greenarcher707:
Ugh, that's hard to look at.
[Vibrant General] jonathan75:
It does effect MY GPS reception and that is a fact. I did many tests. As we all know the GPS has had different results for everyone. I can only report what I see. It is my right to report my findings. Take it or leave it.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
BALONEY. Lets see some calculated averages with the case on and off over an hours period of time with the case off. It's not blocking your GPS, your hand is and you don't know it. If it was blocking GPS it would be blocking 2G/3G and WiFi but you haven't said a peep about either.
[Vibrant General] iunlock:
:D what heygrl said...I've had cases on all my previous phones and never had a problem. The only scenario you may have reception problems is if your case was made out of lead LOL...
[Vibrant General] jonathan75:
Whatever, I am not going to waste my time trying to prove my findings. It is pointless. And I had it on a table with no hand close to it. I did not do an analysis on the 2G/3G or WiFi. My concern at the time was GPS. Why are you taking this so personal? I am not talking about your mother! It is just GPS reception and my PERSONAL findings. Individual results may very. Get over it.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Their not taking it personal... They just don't want someone to read that nonsense and assume it's true.
[Vibrant General] scrizz:
WE HATE FUD!

I also had a HD2. I sold that POS within 4 weeks of purchasing it!

glad to see the phone can take a beating
[Vibrant General] iunlock:
+1 .....:D
[Vibrant General] iunlock:
I just can't wait until the cases come in so I can pretend it's not there LOL...

I'm just so fortunate that everything works perfect...it could have been worse right?

Allll gooood....

"iPhone 4 is made by Samsung and LG Korea. Same CPU as our Galaxy S by Samsung. Circuit boards, memory, etc... all Samsung, Glass screen LG and steve is on crack. He'll never admit to that. Our phone looks better. Galaxy S all the way. "

Sooo true. =P

Man, I can't wait for my case. I feel sorry for yours.
[Vibrant General] VICosPhi:
Had to reply... that sucks... I bet you couldn't stop thinking about that dent all day ( and while lying down on bed ready to sleep )

Well, it could have been a lot worse...Once you get the case it will look great and feel great as the case adds perfect weight and grip. :)
[Vibrant General] iunlock:
Indeed. It's amazing what really went on with Steve's journey with Samsung to make it all happen. There's some real dark truths that he'd cry if it was to be made public LOL..like getting dissed by Samsung when he wanted to use the SAMOLED etc...that's just the tip of the ice burg. Anyhow, wrong thread to be talking about this..sorry LOL...

My case came in today! I just have to go pick it up at my box...

*btw my sources are direct...someone that I know that they know that I know that they know that I know uummmm cough...works for the super S giant. Ok enough said... :D
[Vibrant General] iunlock:
Thanks for your sympathy haha....you're right, that night I couldn't stop thinking about it...the whole night I was exercising new pain-relief words in my head LOL!!! Then I kept asking myself a million times, "Are you freakin' kidding me? Noooo...Damn it, please reverse time...."

Just a fair warning to everyone. Be very fortunate if you haven't dropped your phone yet. Do something about it and get a cover, case, body armor etc...just do it because once you drop it, there's no turning back. That's the truth :p
[Vibrant General] Acid_Wir3:
AHH!! i felt better (not really) my phones chrome ring is damaged as well
[Vibrant General] boodies:
lol, dropping a phone is almost as bad as dropping a brand new DSLR which I have done.... with a new 450 dollar lens on it lol.
[Vibrant General] DaveANH:
I dropped my Vibrant a few weeks back. I was sitting on concrete steps waiting for a ride to work. It was 2am (work overnight) and I was still sleepy. I just lost my grip and down it went - landed right on the screen. Had a huge spiderweb-style crack. Very painful to see. I should have taken a pic.

I have never dropped a phone before and still don't know if I would get insurance in the future, but will definitely consider it from this point forward.

In case anyone is wondering, it was $161 to fix the screen, including tax. They gave me free shipping both ways, at least.

I'm now on a 5-year old flip phone for two weeks.
[Vibrant General] Acid_Wir3:
BTW you can get those scars just by dropping your phone a foot high to a solid ground :D thats how soft the phone is i dont know if ZAGG has dent protection but im still planning to get one

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] jmitr:
WDM and NFSFAN were the 2 most reckonized devs for the Vogue, and best.....of course that would mean forgetting anout Vin, he was awesome as well.

I've been saving for a Desire now that Canada finally has them and will probably switch by next month (Vogue, original never replaced is getting veeeery long in the tooth). I will glady test for you even, or I should say especially if I replace my Vogue before your "first:D" ROM is released.

Welcome Back man, now we just need DD and the others!!!
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Whosdaman:
Just imagine if vin, omj, dharvey, nfsfan, and jd came back to develop...

[Hero, G2 Touch General] croques:
Users Beware!

Following this reported hack of Android OS, it is now even more important check the MD5 Checksum provided with each developer's ROM against a value your system indicates for your download. This is the only way currently available to make sure you have downloaded ONLY what the developer intended for you to download. And without a little rootkit hiding somewhere within the ROM.

If MD5 Checksums are beyond you at the moment, then Google, read and learn.

You have your whole life on your phone do you really want to share it with persons unknown?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cja1984:
I'm new to rooting but I rooted my EVO in June via a link posted of HTCEVOHACKS.COM and I continue to get a message to do the OTA updates. When I try to click yes it downloads but the files are then corrupted and when they try to install the phone shows a picture of the EVO and a red question mark, then it shuts off. Am I not able to get OTA updates with the EVO rooted? Since it is a new phone I would like to get some updates when glitches are found. I also want to get the FROYO update on Tuesday when Sprint releases it. Any help on how to continue to stay rooted and get updates or how to get FROYO when released by my carrier would be awesome. Again, I'm now to this so if this process could be explained in simple terms, that would help too.;)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ifly4vamerica:
Go to the dev section and download the rooted Froyo update, flash it just like any custom rom. Read in the OP it will tell you what to do and what order to do it in, presto you have all updates and still have root.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cja1984:
Thanks. I'm going to try that now. I guess I didn't realize that you couldn't get OTA updates after you rooted your phone.
