[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_wolf88:
Hi all,

I'm planing soon to buy T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant through ebay. As it's mentioned in my profile I'm from Bahrain and I don't need T-Mobile junk software like Account, TV, etc..

So my question is it possible to flash Original Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 to Samsung Vibrant ?

Are they exactly same in terms of Hardware ? I had HTC HD2 before and it's not possible to flash Euro version on T-Mobile version. So what about this one?

Thanks in advance..
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaoscentral:
nope, some things will be messed up, no data, volume buttons switched etc
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
The hardware is DEFINITELY not the same. Well it kind of is, but the international version of the Samsung Galaxy S has a frontal camera whereas the Vibrant does not. And the vibrant has four buttons whereas the international has I believe 2 and a trackball (i think?)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_wolf88:
I see, I forgot that US version have 4 buttons and no front camera !
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilsopure:
Bell Mobility (in Canada) sells the "Galaxy S Vibrant" that comes with only 3 front facing buttons; from left to right: menu/options button, action/home button and the back/cancel button.

So "Vibrant" may mean different things to different people, depending on who or where you ask.

Edit: Oh I forgot, my Bell Galaxy S Vibrant has a tiny front camera as well. I haven't used it for anything yet, but you can install the 'Mirror' app on the market to at least see it in action.

Hey everyone I was just wondering if anyone else had any problems not being able to record video with their evos...taking photos work just fine but when switching to video mode the pressing of the record button does absolutely nothing and it freezes there inside the camera app. Once you can get back to the home screen seems like it is still running in the background and everything feels sluggish and heats up...only way back to normal is a reboot... I am using the stock rooted froyo Rom..any help would be great. Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxomus:
Stock kernel as well? Do you recall installing anything funky? Has it always been like that or start recently?

Sent from my phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cemian:
Yes I'm using the stock kernel as well....if I recall correctly it was working in the beginning after I flashed it. But since I don't use my video camera much I'm just noticing it now not working...I don't think I have anything funky installed :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxomus:
Have you searched through the thread for the particular rom your using to see if anyone else running it is having similar problems. I would start there, hopefully your not the only one with issue. You can always do a complete wipe and try flashing the rom again, if that doesn't fix it, then it's not looking to good for you.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] busterdan:
I am on the verge of throwing my partners Desire out the window... I have spent hours trying to get it out of Safe Mode by upgrading ROMs' Rooting it and installing Custom ROMS...

Nothing has helped get around Safe Mode.

So I now need to get it back to the factory/T-Mobile shipped settings so that it can be returned because as far as I am concerned the damn thing is faulty.

I have just tried installing using RUU the UK TMO 1.15 and 1.21 ROMS, but now all I get is... Error 155 Unknown Error. At the moment phone is rooted using Unrevoked and running NextSense ROM so I need to clear all of this before taking the thing back :mad:

Any suggestions please?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tander_ZA:
When you turn the phone on - what happens? Can you get into recovery, too?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] busterdan:
Yep I can get into Recovery, but it is the Unrevoked version. I was under the impression to revert back all that was necessary was to install a UK TMO ROM, but it is this that is not working :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] busterdan:
OK I think I am sorted now.

I installed another custom rom but also removed my SD (GOLD) Card as I thought that might be causing a problem with the ROM signing.

Anyway I am now running TMO UK 1.15 so all being well I should be able to send the damn thing back now.

Thanks anyway.

[Desire General] mrdo:
am i going mad or did i imagine that my desire used to autoconnect to a remembered wifi network like the iphone ?

i'm pretty sure that my phone did this for a while before i upgraded to froyo.
[Desire General] Tander_ZA:
Yes, mine works like this.

Just enable wifi and set it up auto sleep for 15 mins. When it is in a remembered network - it auto connects as per normal. ;)
[Desire General] mrdo:
thanks, will give this a try. i assume that the connection stays up when connected and only drops after 15 minutes when it can't find a remembered network ?
[Desire General] snudel:
try Y5

it enables wifi even automatically when you are close to known networks and disables it when you leave the area
[Desire General] ferus:
How often does it scan for networks? Doesn't that affect battery life?

To OP: My connects to my remembered home network automatically. On both 2.1 and 2.2.
[Desire General] foxmeister:
It doesn't scan for networks at all. Essentially it uses cell location (note, not GPS) to determine if you are likely to be in range of a stored WiFi network, and switches off/on accordingly.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] ferus:
I don't want to hijack this thread but I have 2 questions:

1. Can my network location be determined without having data connection enabled?

2. Is the network location accurate enough to use this application? On Google maps I can see accuracy at about 800 meters.

EDIT: Thanks Dave :)
[Desire General] foxmeister:
(1) Yes.

(2) Pretty much. Sure, if I leave my house and walk up the road, I'm still connected to the same cell, and so it won't switch off my WiFi. However, if I get in my car and drive elsewhere, it will switch my WiFi off. This fine for my purposes - the only way it could be more accurate would be to use GPS, but then you'd have to keep GPS switched on all the time and thus help to drain the battery further.

Regards,

Dave

-When screen off

-never if charging

[General Topics] tolis626:
Hey guys,we've all been hearing and seeing things about the upcoming HTC Ace(along with Schubert with Windows Phone 7),right?Well,we know that it will be similar to the Evo/Leo,will also be known as Desire HD,and will look stunningly cool.However,I am lacking the knowledge of any details.

I heard somewhere that it will be sporting a more powerful GPU that the current Snapdragon devices.Is this confirmed?Also,will its CPU be anyhow better than the current Snapdragons?Because I am between this and the Galaxy S.But I love HTC's phones,interface etc and would be ok if it was just a little more powerful than my Desire.If it's just the bigger screen(which will most probably not be AMOLED) and better camera(I think it will have 8MPx like the Evo[?]) it's not worth it.

So what do you guys think?
[General Topics] wywywywy:
They are holding a press event on 15th Sept. So hopefully it will be announced then.

My guess is it will be exactly the same as the Evo except the radio.
[General Topics] tolis626:
Well,if that's the case it's a pity that such a nice device will be gone to waste...I mean,by September/October the new Snapdragons with dual-core processors will be just out of the corner!Why make a phone that can't have the latest and greatest?
[General Topics] androidlicious:
I hope the Ace will be available in the US.

I like some of the high-end Android phones but I am on a GSM carrier, so that leaves me with the lackluster options of the Samsung Galaxy S (which I don't really like at the moment) and the Nexus One.

There are 4 amazing Droid phones that I would love to get my hands on, but they are all on Verizon. What is up with that?
[General Topics] tolis626:
At least you are in the US pal!If you change carriers you can get all awesome phones available!But I live in Europe,and more specifically in Greece!What about us here dude?We too are stuck with either Galaxy S and Desire.
[General Topics] Monty Burns:
*** gloat post *** :)

I live in the UK and we get pretty much everything all the time. Only thing we lack behind is 4g but I know O2 are testing this in Slough at the moment and reporting speeds of 150meg if rumours are to be believed.:cool:

I've even heard in another thread that we will be getting WinPhone 7 before the US should you decide to jump to it....
[General Topics] wywywywy:
I know what you mean, but I highly doubt they can produce the new dual-core or the 1.5GHz ones en masse by Xmas...

And a Snapdragon is still an extremely nice upgrade for those of us still on a 576MHz device :D
[General Topics] tolis626:
Ah,I know what you mean pal!I owned a Diamond and a Hero before my Desire and the gain in performance is just...WOW!But why not even more? :D

nokia and their s60 has Ovi application and pc suite which can be used to look all files on the phone make calls and view messages and write them on the comp.

Check out RemoteSms. It's awesome and will do what you need. Now if you decide you want to send files over your wireless network between you computer and phone check out Websharing.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] pikachu7:
Hi all I've been a member here since my first HTC8525 and all of you have helped me tremendously. But today I believe I need to ask for help. I just recently purchased a T-mobile HTC Touchpro 2 and brought it back to Canada to run on the Rogers network. I have unlocked the phone and set up everything fine. My only problem is that I cannot change the MMS setting in the phone Tmob has locked them out. Could anyone point me in the right direction. I have searched the threads and to no avail. Any help at all is greatly appricated. Sorry if i am repeating earlier threads.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ecuajosh:
same issue here, im trying to change the setting on my tp2 but it is locked for changes, i cant even add a new setting.

i did the changes when i had my tilt 2 but here i can't any help please.

thanks in advance
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ecuajosh:
sorry for posting it when the answer was already there. but anyway you can change some of the settings via registry.

hkey local machine/software/arcsoft mms ua/config/

hope it's helpfull
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] julesmervin:
then what

what other steps do you take after that?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
Unlocking the device via Hard SPL to accept other ROMs will allow you to flash any of a ton of ROMs for this device that allow editing of MMS settings. Most custom ROMs are faster, lighter, and generally prettier than the stock one. Otherwise, as I recall, you'll need the IP address from the cell network to change the MMS gateway in the registry. Good luck getting that from a carrier.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jerryparid:
What are some good screen protectors out there that doesn't cost a fortune?

I'm convinced that Martin Fields is the best screen protector on the market. I scratched my Martin Fields today badly in the middle; unfortunately at $27 a pop, I really don't want/can't afford to buy another one.

I got some screen protectors from dcmungen last month off ebay after hearing good/decent reviews, but upon applying them today. I can say that dcmungen protectors are hot garbage. The protector doesn't cover the whole screen, the cut is terrible, it feels like rubbery Saran wrap, not glass like Martin Fields.
[EVO 4G Accessories] bryank930:
Clarivue. Mine's been great. Only has cutouts for the front camera, earpiece, and light sensors.

You'll like it more if you have a case that covers the very edges of the screen, as the protector doesn't go all the way up to the edge.
[EVO 4G Accessories] fragchild:
I really like the Invisible Shield products. Had one on my G1 and have one now for the EVO. It covers everything but the Camera.

http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/htc-evo-4g-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php
[EVO 4G Accessories] skydeaner:
not if he doesn't like a rubbery feel and wants it to feel like glass, because the zagg's feel incredibly rubbery.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Jim M:
I picked up some case-mate protectors at a Sprint Store, precut and cover the whole front. [cmo11782] package of 3 $12.99
[EVO 4G Accessories] davebu:
ghost armor is the best IMO, tried stealthgaurd and invisoshield and they just feel weird, never really liked any of the .99 cent ebay or $10 sprint store protectors. ghost armor feels natural on the screen and does a good job protecting it.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jerryparid:
I'll try this.

Ghostarmor and Invisibleshiled = garbage. I have tried both; doesn't feel smooth like Martin Fields.
[EVO 4G Accessories] LAYGO:
I got some screen protectors from the ebay auctions with batteries, case, and cables, and am pleasantly surprised.

They cover the whole screen. I want to take a hole punch to the front camera slot. The clarity is way better than the Sprint's anti-glare one. I was really beginning to hate my screen until changing to a clearer screen protector.

My only gripe could just be my faulty install, but the edges are coming up every where my old screen protector didn't cover. I figure it's from the oils left behind. Also, if it gets dirty/oily, it tends to get sticky & make Swyping difficult.
[EVO 4G Accessories] lacrossev:
I love my clairvue also. I've been using martin fields for my last 4 devices but lately their screen protectors have been much easier to scratch than their earlier material, and because of that, they became overpriced for me. I tried a clairvue as a replacement for my martin fields on my old TP2 and thought that it was good quality for much less cost, so then i went for it on my Evo.

My innocase rugged combo also came with a seidio screen protector, but it covered the front camera and sensors also. Although i don't think it should matter in theory, i appreciate the cutouts that clairvue has for their evo protectors.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jasonleb1:
BoxWave are the absolute best. They feel smooth like glass; can't tell the difference when they're on or off screen clarity/quality-wise; they have cut-outs for the light sensor, earpiece, and camera; and they go all the way to the edge so if you put it on right with no dust or air bubbles you can't even tell it's on.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Meatbyproducts:
I have had my Evo since release day. I have no screen protector on it and I show off how awesome the screen is by taking my keys to it at least once a week. I also have zero scratches. I can attest to how big a waste of money a screen protector is on the Evo.
[EVO 4G Accessories] skydeaner:
I got a scratch on mine from my keys in my pocket

Whattaya know....

I ordered a replacement digitizer/glass for 70 bucks and i absolutely WILL be using a screen protector from now on. After this post i'll be getting mine from boxwave. I like the hard, non flimsy films
[EVO 4G Accessories] LAYGO:
That's what she (he?) said . . .
[EVO 4G Accessories] Subiegsr:
I vote Ghost Armor, I absolutely love mine!
[EVO 4G Accessories] Lyiondr:
I will submit my vote for boxwave as well. I can hardly remember I have my screen covered most of the time.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jerryparid:
I got a tiny (very small) scratch on the glass, time to order up some screen protectors again
[EVO 4G Accessories] bigheadwillie:
I bought a 3 pack from handhelditems.com and have been very happy with their feel and quality. They were cheap too...

They are a lot more slippery and feel better overall than the ghost armor on my girls Evo.
[EVO 4G Accessories] adwhite:
Diddo. Best screen protector I've ever used period. Better finger feel than bare screen.
[EVO 4G Accessories] cyberenz:
Zagg and others

Guys and Gals, I made the mistake of putting a Zagg film on my Evo and let me tell you that they stain and yellow very quickly. These types of vinyl products stain badly and apart from turning yellow, it was getting a dark line across the front of the film which corresponded to the black leather holster I put the phone into...the black leather staining the film across the front. In addition, a fingerprint developed on the surface of the film that would not go away. All this happened in 4 weeks. In other words guys, the film offers great protection, but if you like the clarity of the screen and don't want to be looking through stains on the Zagg screen protector, save yourself some time and money and go find another screen protector. All these films, like Zagg, that claim that they're used to protect helicopter blades from nicks in the military are the same crap. They all stain. Yes, they'll gladly replace the product if you call them, but you're back to the same staining film. In my book, that's not worth the effort. That's my two cents worth.
[EVO 4G Accessories] stc256:
Boxwave has terrible customer service. I have been trying to get a replacement for over a month and I still do not have it. I would avoid at all costs.

[EVO 4G Accessories] FattySparks:
where are all of the Phantom skinz people at. I got mine 2 for $7 free shipping and the have a lifetime warranty that only costs $2 or $3 to ship the new ones (vs $7 for Zagg). Plus they are a lot more clear than zagg, less rubbery feeling, and no orange peel. And it only took me about a minute or two to install.

They ship quickly too. Ordered on Sunday and got here yesterday.

Google phantom skinz coupon codes to get 30% off of there starting price of 9.99.

Also, I don't know if it'll tell you on the site that you're getting 2 for that price. I didn't find out until I got it in the mail. I said on the package 2 for 1 Internet Special.

Hope this helped
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Paul22000:
I've been using http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.esdmobile.taskswitcher with a single Home button tap to activate, but I'm not a fan of the huge app previews. I'd like an icon only view (especially since it's 15 apps on one screen via CM6).

So I'm looking for an app that will open the Home Long Press by tapping the Home button once (ie NOT a long press), while still allowing use of LauncherPro etc. (A second tap would bring it back to the actual home screen.)

Does such an app exist?

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
You could tap on 'more recent' on your desktop :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Paul22000:
Aye. It's a start :) I currently have More Recent set to LauncherPro Dock middle button swipe up :cool: Although it's not as fast as I would like: when in an app, need to go Home -> Swipe up, so an extra step.

If the Android Recent Apps list is completely inaccessible, then More Recent on a single home tap would be just as good :cool:
