[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegreatcity:
I love it. Ive used just about every flavor of manufacturer-skinned android, along with vanilla (2.1 on G1). I can say after using other skins, TouchWiz 3.0 is pretty great. Vanilla android always wins, but this skin didn't feel as useless as some others.

I am coming from a mytouch slide, and a G1 before that, so the thought of a phone with no keyboard worried me. However the screen is the perfect size, and I'm pretty fast with swype. Not to mention, I had this phone rooted within 10 minutes of getting it home, whereas I never got the Slide rooted.

CM6 is coming to the Vibrant. Development is going to pick up. The Galaxy S series is on all four major carriers here in the US. I know we're going to see some interesting things happen.

I've had a lot of fun with this phone in the short time I've owned it, so I can definitely recommend it. And about the G2, it doesn't exactly seem light-years ahead, and if you wait for it...like magic the next superphone will be leaked and your attention will be on that.

So I would say get the Vibrant, you'll have a lot of fun with it.

...oh and I typed this out on it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilovemytilt1:
The only reason I might not get this phone is because of A. Its Sammie so who knows how long the official 2.2 comes B. Its not HTC so Devs will have to get accustomed to the phone C. It has Touchwiz. I could deal with Sense for a bit in waiting of CM6 or just stock 2.2 Android but playing with the phone in the Tmo store just turned me off. Looks like I will have to get a N1 or maybe wait for the G2
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kizer:
To me the entire CM6 is so over hyped its insane. The devs working on things are doing great. The phone is awesome as it is and anything beyond what it is now is pure gravy.

If/when CM6 hits I'm sure it will be awesome, but if you are holding out on the idea of that then well your going to miss out on a great phone.

The "devs" in the Dream section mostly produce hacked up beta garbage that never reaches a final release. Thanks but no thanks, I don't like flashing my phone 23452434 times to find something that works properly in ALL aspects. Then when you try to tell the devs what's broken they pitch a ***** fit and start complaining because they released it with known bugs. SICK of it.

There are a few that are worth the time in the G1/myTouch section but most of it is garbage and I had both devices.

Difficulty

The phone is worthy in every aspect of the word. This is an HTC forum. Luckily for us we have a very popular phone. I doubt we will go the way of other non HTC (AND SOME HTC) phones.

I am enjoying this phone, bloat and all, especially after the lag fix. I do enjoy an elegant vanilla though. But in its current condition would enjoy this Vibrant for at least a year.

Sometimes you can't help it, you know;)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Okay first off. Touchwiz is pretty good now. Touchwiz implemented pretty cool features and it isn't as bad. Dont criticize it if you haven't ever tried it. Samsung has already said froyo will be released sometime in September. Stop degrading a phone that you've never used.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr2t32:
Since the vibrant is fairly new and with the Froyo rumored to be out in Sept., I just don't see why any dev will want to spend all their time making a rom for a phone that might be getting the 2.2 upgrade in a month. I'm sure once the Froyo update is out, the devs will start their custom roms... For those that doesn't like the stock home launcher setup, just goto the market and get Launcher pro or ADWLauncher. Both will replace the iphone look alike. As far as lag fix and GPS fix, i didn't use any and my phone seems to be working like it should without any lag or gps problems.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smokexz:
I am not too into the whole ROM thing, if anyone could PM me the info in what it is for and why it is always great, it would be greatly appreciated. Anyways, back on topic, I like the Vibrant the screen is responsive and the huge screen makes typing a breeze(on both landscape and portrait mode). The processor is the best you can get right now on the Android OS and the screen is just amazing. The bad... Touch Wizard 3.0 is really good but coming from other Android devices I miss the App drawer so much. It does take getting used to, and if it is really that bad for you, then go get an open home theme. Or maybe stock Froyo installed(is that a ROM?) That would be nice, because the Vibrant would be perfect if it just had a less skinned theme. Great phone overall.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d_bot:
just my $0.02

I have absolutely LOVED this phone. Sounds like you already know the specs, so i will just say It's FAST. I love how light it is, and the size is perfect, when i support the iphone 4s at work now, i think my hell this is tiny, it feels like im holding my mt3g again, the phone size is perfect(for me) and feels good in my hand(that's what she said). The screen is bright and crisp.

I don't get that if the specs are better on the vibrant, why would the devs be going for the G2? except for the point that HTC is something the know and understand. But a dev that can dev for HTC/Sammy/Moto would be much more successful than a dev that can just dev for just HTC

I partially agree that the whole CM6 thing is a little whack. Cyan makes great roms no doubt, but there are/will be others, hell for all that we know, there may be some dude out there that just bought a vibrant that might be able to make cyan's stuff look like childs play. before cyan who was there? I'm sure they all said "oh man devx's stuff is the **** there will never be anyone better", then cyan released v1 and now the community is saying "oh man cyans stuff is the ****, there will never be anyone better"........well who really knows right?

All in all i think that if you want to switch your rom out every hour because thats where you find happiness then yes something HTC is for sure the way to go. If you want top of line hardware and specs, solid phone then get the vibrant, you won't be disappointed.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamtimmah:
IMO, I love the Vibrant. As a previous owner of various G1s, a MyTouch and various iPhones, I have to say that in overall hardware performance, screensize and sexiness, the Vibrant has to be my favorite phone.

16GB internal memory with the option to insert more via SD card is awesome. I myself can put up with the lag until the Froyo update, it isn't enough to bother me enough to root yet. If I want a different look, I can just use the ADW Launcher which works perfectly.

Do it, you know you want to. 150.00 at walmart. 199.00 through T-Mobile.

Development will pick up, just takes time. Once one dev creates a rom, everyone else will build upon/modify it and we'll be good to go for a while. It also meets Gingerbreads minimum specs so it'll def' have some longevity.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilovemytilt1:
If you read my post you could see I've spent some time with it in the Tmo store. I probably will get it anyway because I don't want to spend 400 plus bucks for a N1 and I want to leave Sprint(I'm really gonna miss my EVO) I don't really care for the features Touchwiz brings I just want vanilla android all these custom interfaces seem to ugly up the UI and that's my biggest gripe with Android. Also Samsung upgrading track record has been......
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kizer:
I've been running various other launchers since the day I bought my vibrant. when I had my G1 I ran nothing other than the default launcher. Man was I ever missing out.

Anyways if you don't like Touchwiz then don't run it. I'm sure half the guys with rooted phones don't anyways.

I had lunch with a guy who owns a 3GS and we did some comparing with regards to phones. He had some good points and I had some good points. When I showed him I could switch my default launcher on the fly and what really blew him away was when I dropped into Recovery and swapped ROMS. I don't think his jaw could be lifted off the table for a good few minutes.

The funniest comment was this. "Man why is it you have a back button and I don't. Man I'd kill to have more than just one button. I mean how stupid was Mac to think one button was enough to really use a phone" None the less he told me flat out he would gladly trade his phone for the Vibrant if he would run on ATT. Of course I told him he could buy the Captivate or buy and unlock the Vibrant.

Anyways think or choose what you want. The Vibrant is in my pocket until the next greatest thing comes out. I can tell you right now it doesn't appear to the be G2 in my mind. Maybe it might if I didn't buy the Vibrant, but whats done is done. ;)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heygrl:
If some of you are getting lag, try moving some movies off of the 16GB NAND memory. I have 9GB free and most of my clips on a 4GB SD card, and I have no lag. Video demonstration of how snappy my Vibrant is coming soon.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d_bot:
as far as touchwiz goes, I have actually liked some of the features. I am rooted, and was running ADW launcher, but noticed more lag with ADW Launcher than i did with TW so im back with TW

To each his own.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SeanFloyd:
In due time the Vibrant will have a variety of Custom ROMS (including Cyanogen) to choose from if that is your thing. In the mean time, I am vastly enjoying this phone with LauncherPro. This phone has hardly been out for more than a month and people are already bored/tired of it without a thousand custom ROMS? Lolz - is that how ridiculous peoples attention spans have become?

The other thing I am not seeing is the appeal of the G2. After messing around with the 4 inch super AMOLED I could NEVER go back to anything smaller. 3.7 inch looks tiny and 3.5 and smaller looks ridiculous, if anything I could see eventually getting a larger screen in the future. In no way, shape, or form can I relate to the disappointment with the Vibrant.

Yea I like opera but don't like that you can't really download stuff from it. But yea wanted to try out fennec to see how it runs but it's a no go so kinda disappointment.....eh
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teorouge:
Actually, Fennec's quite a few good ideas, expecially for Firefox users. I mean, it can syncs your open tabs (the ones you left open at home before leaving!), bookmarks, search history and site access infos (so you won't type those old pass/user you can't even remember).

Moreover, you get plugins... not a big amount of them available, but this could just a matter of time if this catches up; and tab management is on par with Android browser's.

Main downside is related to page render speed and program open, they just fail before Android stock browser (which I think is quite awesome, I have to admit it, in terms of performances and compatibility).

Definitively still a "to keep an eye on" project, though.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HDW:
just installed the app, but it wont even open
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slimeruk:
Junk

I find it unbelievable that this has even been considered for a release to anyone!

After several attempts to install, I finally got this bloated mess to work, slowly and with no features that haven't been done better elsewhere.

I was truely expecting more, Firefox and Thunderbird have become bad enough lately, with this rubbish Mozilla have scored 3 out of three.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raudi1:
Haven't tried this alpha yet, but I played around with an older Version. I also tried the WinMo version and I can tell you that Fennec on Android is much better than the WinMo version. On my HD2(running Froyo) it installed without problems and it didn't crash. But because the UI had no priority over the webpage rendering it wasn't really usable. But I think I read somewhere that in this alpha the UI has priority, so when I can I will give it a try again. But the only reason for using Fennec are the sync features.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
You people should READ THE SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS before commenting on whether things are good or not. It CLEARLY states that MSM720xA based phones are NOT COMPATIBLE. Regarding the one who managed to partially get it working.... I don't believe you.

Specifically, the program is built for ARMv7 instruction set. YOUR PHONE SUPPORTS UP TO ARMv6 instruction set ONLY.

To put this very simply.... the program is NOT COMPATIBLE [yet].
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rendarion:
There are nightly builds, which work on Armv6.

I have it running, on a HTC Magic.

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/nightly/latest-mozilla-central-android-r7-nothumb/

The main deal breakers are that it takes forever to load and that the GUI doesn't scale and all the buttons are too big.

Finally:

Coming from my standpoint, that really didn't call for caps, as what you believed and clearly read into the announcement didn't eventuate anyway.

I am positively glad about that, I hope you are too xD. So far Armv6 isn't going to be left behind (all too far).

Hi,

Fennec seems to work on HD2 (an ARM 7 device).

Not sure I like the rendering of pages like xda-developers.com - but it works.

Seems like it has potential.

My background always changes to a picture of grass up close. I use wallpaper switcher and this background will randomly show up and I can't get rid of it unless I reboot the phone.

This only happens with CM6. Other roms do not show this background randomly. Please help!

G'day everyone.

There seems to be a common fault with some of my friends, and my HTC Desire A8183, when you answer a call while the phone is in standby, the microphone seems to be muted, you can hear the other people, but they couldn't hear you?

Has anyone else experienced this problem, regardless whether it's a Telstra Desire or not? I hope someone can help ;) If it's any help, 2 of the phones are running rooted Official Froyo with the latest radio, and the others are running a stock Tel$tra branded Eclair, with stock radio.

NB: And before you blast me for not using the search button, I couldn't use it, due to it saying "Search function is not available".

I think he means the "email" app. I think it is a lot better than the "gmail" app.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dontshakepandas:
They are both not very good. The gmail app lacks lots of features, and the built in email app doesn't have push support. Try K9 mail. It will show a notification in the bar and a small circle showing how many new emails you have. It is also much more customizable than either of the stock email apps.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] max_warheads:
Question?

have you observed that the Detail of the notification will do the following

- when there is only 1 email, it will show the subject

- when there is more than 1, it will show the # of unread emails.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] me-boy:
Yes, it has the number. But the thing is, the phone will only "ring" for the first email. It won't sound again for all the subsequent emails.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ozgurce:
Is there anyway to solve that? I want to see every email subject when the email is come. I mean if i have 3 mails, status bar must show 3 gmail notificaion and list it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apbthe3:
Settings / (account name) / Labels to Notify / Inbox. In the notification settings, you can select whether you want it to notify for each email or just the first one.

I have recently rooted my Evo after being unhappy with the 2.2 OTA's performance. Everything in my 2.1 flash works great, but so far every 2.2 based ROM that I've tried out (VirusXrom, Vaelpak, Fresh, and a few others) have left me unable to connect to my PC.

If I restore to my nandroid backup of 2.1 I regain the ability to PC connect, but as soon as I reflash a new rom it is lost again. Any ideas on how to fix this? Its kind of pissing me off...

I use ClockWork recovery at the moment, and did UnrevokedForever as per the guide.

You are missing busybox!

You need to install it before using titanium backup.
