I got the Airave for free as well. I've had service for almost 10 years, and I told them that my job required me to have mobile phone access, and my home (where my office is) had abysmal reception. I told them if I couldn't figure out some solution, I was going to have to look at other providers in this area that did have service (sadly, AT&T and Verizon both have better reception around here...) They told me about the Airave (it was new at the time) and offered it to me for free, plus no monthly fee. I now have full signal in my office.

I didn't know the new model pumped out 3G as well...that would have made me happy a few years ago when I had a Blackberry without wifi :) Now I simply use wifi for data and don't worry about 3G.
[EVO 4G General] dmystic1:
That's cool, glad you got your phone. My corp. store is useless. They don't even do the waiting list thing, at all.

I am really wondering what is going on with the EVO production though, I mean we are not really limited by any sort of parts delay, are we? Or is HTC just over there heads on trying to produce too many different models for too many providers?
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
Got my Airvana on the way. Just call them threatening to cancel because reception at home has been abysmal. Tell them you read online about this Signal Booster Router Thingy and you're willing to give it a try if they waive all costs.

Trust me, they won't lose you over it.

I actually called *****ing about my 5th replacement Palm Pre and the guy threw my first Airave in there just to calm me down. I had no idea it even existed lol.
[EVO 4G General] curtrahmel:
I have a ASL account, in good standing w/ automatic payments, and was able to get the new airave for free. I was transfer 4 times so to prevent that just talk directly to retentions. As far as the airave goes, it is much larger then the first release and has 2 Ethernet ports out. It is meant to be connect directly to your modem and not to your router (if your modem and router are separate). If your modem and router are one device, I recommend using QoS settings to make sure you get maximum bandwidth to the airave. This change in settings took my data speeds from 1Mb to 2.3Mb. I do have wifi, but my wife not being tech savy at all benefits the most from this as our QIK chat is now lag free. As a word of advice, be patient, the initial setup took 1 hour followed by a call to airave support (here is the number 1-866-556-7310 write it down because regular tech support can't help you). Hope this helps.
[EVO 4G General] curtrahmel:
BTW...

You will notice VOIP is available on this model and it will go live Q1 2011. I don't know the pricing but it will run off the airave and use the already assigned number.
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
I'm going to be doing this tomorrow morning. My house is in a white circle of no service (I get service, but dropped calls) All the houses around me are on the edge, but my house is like the hole to hell, well, if you look on Sprint's map. ;)

DSL seems to also be a problem at my house - Can't get anything over 5.0 Mbps, yet my neighbors 50 feet away can get 7. :|||
[EVO 4G General] helfire1:
I got a free 1st gen from retention last year but be careful they say its free or charge buy they credit you a year at 5 bux but still charge you 5 mo for all your other lines. So free for 1 line for 1 year, not all lines. Was misleading.
[EVO 4G General] marctronixx:
your post is mis-leading.. :D

i dont know what you mean by charging for other lines. i have 4 lines on my account and didnt get charged extra for anything. ive had the 1st gen since they released it on sprint and never paid for it. form what i have seen and read, folks either have it free and clear (no pun :D) or they pay 4.99 per month (extremely rare) and thats only for the airave.. NOT for each line...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsjusttim:
Anyone else randomly get a line of dead pixels across there phone? Any idea what could have caused this? Or if it can be fixed?

I have had this phone for over a month now and don't really want to have to return to t mobile for a "like new" phone. This phone is in perfect condition, I have had it in a silicone case with screen protector since it was out of the box.. And has never been dropped once.

Any ideas for me?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsvnet:
Fortunately, no, I don't have that problem. But, I have seen cases where a scratch on a screen will show a 'rainbow' effect seeming just like dead pixels. Not on this phone, though. Knock on wood.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Monsi:
I have a little rainbow line in my Vibrant but I dont know if its for the screen protector and i dont want to remove it
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsjusttim:
Called cc and they are going to send me a like new.. Seems like its all I can do
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manekDC2_:
sorry to bring this back from the dead, but I have a single dead pixel in my vibrant screen as well.

this sucks, bc i took all that time to root my phone and got it running with the rom and kernel of my liking and now i have a dead pixel in the screen that bothers the hell out of me.

i have tried running strobe light, and also pixel fixer from the market with no luck...

people with dead pixels should all post in here so we can compile a list.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigragu:
I had the problem of the "rainbow line" that I thought were dead pixels. Turns out it was indeed the InvisibleShield screen protector as others have suggested. Removed it, put on Real Look, problem is gone. Screen is beautiful.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manekDC2_:
no i can confirm I def. have a single solid dead black pixel... i have tried everything, but no luck.

I am going to wait until next year, and let this phone get all mangled/used and then call CC before the 1yr stock manufacture warranty is up and get a brand new device...

sucks ill have to go through all the root steps again, but a 500+ dollar phone should not have dead pixels in less than 2 months of ownership. (SAMOLED is not perfected yet? shortage and new 5.5billion $amsung factory????)

i think we should sticky this, from what i can tell from searching and scouring google - many owners are having similar issues with dead and stuck pixels...

some are able to fix, but most are not.

it would be nice to see just how many vibrant users are having this issue, or SGS users across all carriers for that matter? (vibrant seems to have the best display, as ive had them all side-by-side).

Mods, Admins? can we get this going?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hydrogenman:
phones aren't any different than tv's or monitors....you get dead pixels on occasion over time

1 dead pixel isn't going to kill ya, live with it or get a refurb replacement

Does anyone have the magic smoke lwp apk? I've spent the better part of a hour looking for it and cannot find it. I don't want to change roms or replace the stock lwp's. Just want to add that one. Any help?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] blackerwater:
Pull it from eugenes rom.

Sent using xda app....
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] motorjonny:
im about to pull it
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jayzusfk:
It's also in the cm6-n1-rc.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] motorjonny:
well i pulled it from eugenes vib 4, put it on my sd as usual, and it wont install... ugh.. any ideas? I have done it this way with other lwps....
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] parmijo11:
I read that on other forums tonight too that pull it from roms doesn't seem to be working.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s15274n:
With other LW's, I did not install them, I just put them in system/app and went to change the WP and they were there....
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] parmijo11:
I loaded eugene's rom last night. Liking it so far and had magic smoke lwp.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Troy1:
do you mean that you just placed the apk in system/app ? Thank You.:D
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Troy1:
nvm used root explorer to copy/paste from sdcard to system/app and it was there. thank you:)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s15274n:
Right on, glad it worked man.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] frankencat:
So are you gonna share or what?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s15274n:
^ just download the rom and extract it, put the .apk file in system/app (no need to install it) and then go to your LW's, it should be there now.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] motorjonny:
Moving with root explorer did the trick, wicked wallpaper
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] vibrantFTW:
Since someone obviously already pulled the .apk, can you please post it up?

Regards,

B
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Astitious:
Here you go.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Wykedx:
how do we install the apk? i tried root explorer and astro but it doesn't appear to want to install. do i have to put the apk in a certain place?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] parmijo11:
Was posted towards the top of the page. Use root explorer and paste it into system/app; back out of root explorer and go to your live wallpapers and there ya go...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Dougefresh91:
nice, thanks.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] kcbboy:
any way to install this without root...?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] parmijo11:
Not that I have found. Sorry. Keep searching, maybe you'll find something I didn't. Post back if you do find a way.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Igor977:
I tried root explorer/Astro/SU File Manager & Terminal and I couldn't copy this file to system/app

Can somebody explain maybe I am doing something wrong?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] parmijo11:
I just put it in download folder on the internal sd card then used root manager to coy and paste into system>app or apps folder.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] vibrantFTW:
You sir, are AWESOME.

Regards,

B
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] LovellKid:
Worked great thanks...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] sparks.calvin:
So I got it moved over do I need to rename the APK to anything special it still does not show up in live wallpaper list
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] sparks.calvin:
Durrrr I got it thanks for the help...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] GalaxyS_Bweb2185:
Soooo where is the apk file I'm not seeing it in this thread ?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] pinoymutt:
Maybe adb push? It may work without root...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] wprocter:
Followed everyone up to here... still not showing up.

D/L apk...copied and pasted using root explorer to system/app

2.2.1 w/ .340

GJ2.5

ideas?

i feel like i'm missing something right in front of me
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] getmoney2xl:
It FC'ed on me

It finally did show up on livewallpaper picker but when I go to it, then force closed on me. any ideas?

Am using Epic 4G with EXT4 Midnight rom 2.9
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ptfdmedic:
I got it from the market. I had it in one of my older releases but it came from the market.. Just download it from there.....
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jugglervr:
No love over here. Downloaded it and put it in systm/app with root explorer. went in easy as pie, but won't show up in lwp list.

tried to install it; installation unsuccessful.

tried to reboot, still not there. but the apk is still in system/app.

I'm on a droid x, on rubix focused 2.0.1
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] parmijo11:
Try this file, seems to work better.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] rpolito73:
This one worked for me. Thanks!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jugglervr:
No luck here with this one either, but thanks for trying.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] parmijo11:
Nice, glad to hear it

Sorry, was hoping it would work.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Minjin:
I'd like to pick up a waterproof case for my Evo. I'm not looking to dive with it or anything, I just want something to protect from rain when geocaching and sand while at the beach. Neck carry is important for the former, not so important for the latter. I'd prefer a clear back to allow picture taking. Anyone find something like this yet?

Here is an example on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/AQUAPAC-WATERPR...nd-NECK-CORD-/160471964514?pt=PDA_Accessories

I need to spend some more time on Aquapac's website to find one that will fit. Regardless of being listed at the bottom, when iPhone owners complain about having difficulty getting their phones in it I don't think that model will work on the larger Evo.

A more expensive design that while nice is probably overkill for me: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350358716413&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Probably a pain to put the phone in and out as well.

Another: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160431555376&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Nice and cheap but no clear back.

Another: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260601229727&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Might work but I doubt our camera will line up with that tiny little window.

Another: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260605297981&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Super cheap but no clear back.

Another: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220625301859&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

I like this one but I think it would actually be too big and the phone would swim around inside the case.

Another: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290455952560&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

A cheapie with integrated headphone cord.

Another: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330457149482&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Higher dollar but looks nice.

Get buying guys so you can test these out for me. ;)
[EVO 4G Accessories] grad20_09:
Best Buy also sells this which I think is interesting, I plan on buying to try it soon. Just don't have any extra money right now...

[EVO 4G Accessories] ryohei47:
i think a double ziplock will be safer at the cost of usability, but of course its not the most reliable still

Yup, that's what I do when going for a walk, or doing something up on the roof, here in Ovenfornia. :D
[EVO 4G Accessories] Minjin:
I ended up getting the Aquapac. I thought it might be a little large but the phone sticks in there quite good and doesn't move around, plus the extra space gives it more room for larger cases. The version that you want is the 344, aka Small PDA. I can take pics if people are interested.

It is amazing how well the touch screen works through the case.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonathan3579:
So there were rumors that we'd not get the Hummingbird CPU here in the U.S. with our "Galaxy S phones" and after running the app Quadrant Standard, I'm a little confused. Here's the results that confuse me and it could be a simple lack of my knowledge so if anyone has the answer then please feel free to clue me in without flaming.

Result browser:

Device: Samsung Galaxy S

Other names: I900

CPU Name: ARM Cortex A8 (Hummingbird)

Max freq: 1000MHz

Now for me; I have a Vibrant...

Device: SGH-T959

CPU Name: ARMv7 Processor rev 2 (v71)

Current freq: 400MHz

Max freq: 1000MHz

So does this mean we are NOT running the Hummingbird CPU or is the application wrong?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greengoldmello:
I believe that the arm v7 is a part of the cortex a8 family of processors, or vice versa.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonathan3579:
Hmm, I wonder why the app differentiates the two CPU's like that. I'm not able to come up with much info from searching for that exact CPU name other than info on the Motorola Droid X. :rolleyes: Go figure...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PathogenX:
I ran the benchmark and I was interested.

I hit up ARM's website and the ARMv7 falls under the Cortex A8 platform.

Now is there a difference in CPU's between the I9000 and the Vibrant I honestly cannot say. Very Very interesting though.

I wonder if anyone with a captivate can tell us what there's says I am interested in this.

Do you guys think that Samsung could have cheapened out and gave us a crappier CPU?

EDIT: I did some digging and found out that Apples A4 processor which is pretty much a hummingbird is under the ARMv7 instruction set which is a Cortex A8 processor.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonathan3579:
I was able to pull up the same info in regard to the iPhone 4. I found that quite interesting. However, I'm still curious about a Captivate's results. The GPU is exactly the same on the app's results but it's just the CPU thing that bugs me. Is it normal for the phone to be running at 400 MHz? I keep turning up with that same result.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hockeyrcks9901:
The processor will throttle itself based on demand, so yes it is totally normal to see a number less than 1000MHz
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] os2baba:
My Vibrant shows Current frequency as 1000MHz.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsvnet:
Let's put it this way - T-Mobile and practically all marketing for the phones states it is in fact the 1ghz hummingbird CPU. If it isn't, then it is clearly false advertising.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonathan3579:
So do we have any definitive answers on whether it's the same CPU that EU has? I've turned up with inconclusive results. :(
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amigoingcrazzy:
The Cortex A8 is from the ARMv7 family of processors.

Think of it like Intel i7 family of processors, and individual processors being i7 965 or i7 920 or i3, or i5 or i9, etc. or better yet like intel processors being x86, then with all the different things they add on like mmx and hyperthreading and the like being additional instruction sets. so over time x86 gets tweaked for better performance, and the other instruction sets allow for specific tasks to be run faster. hence the difference between the different arm families. that and price tag.

any mobile processor will also dynamically clock itself based on requirements at the time. I don't know the exact frequencies because I haven't cared enough to find out, but the processor downclocks itself to something like 250mhz with the screen turned off, then up to 400mhz ish with the screen on, and then up to 800-1000mhz when running any applications or games or what have you. It does this to save battery life and not run too ungodly hot.

Laptops do the exact same thing, and desktop computers as well if you enable those settings to save on power consumption.

also the cortex a8 is just the cpu itself as far as i'm aware, that does not include the dsp nor the gpu.

ALL SGS phones run the same exact processor, Samsung's custom Hummingbird processor, with the cpu being 45nm based on the Cortex a8 (ARMv7 series) with some customizations, along with the SGX 540, i don't know what their dsp is off the top of my head though.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rench32:
This is interesting!

I have an incredible. I've noticed the exact same description for my processor using two different apps. If anyone has an answer I'd love to here it!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaoscentral:
Snapdragon is also an ARM v7 CPU. basically ARM v7 is the CPU core, Snapdragon, OMAP, Hummingbird are all SoC(Systems on a Chip), where the CPU portion is ARM based.

[Vibrant Android Development] Unhelpful:
I'm trying to get the kernel I've been working on for Captivate working on Vibrant. This poses a bit of a problem, because while I have access to a Vibrant kernel and initramfs, and a known-working config for Vibrant, I lack access to a phone. ;)

I've forked a test branch based on what I have so far. I would appreciate pretty much any of the following:

a volunteer to build this kernel or test a binary

a volunteer to help with Vibrant development

any other Vibrant-specific details that don't apply to Captivate or to SGS in general

I have already built a binary, but it is mostly untested. I want to make it very clear that this is a testing kernel. It should work, it should not break anything... but it might not boot, it might wipe data, I haven't heard of it happening to anybody yet but it's certainly not impossible that it might damage hardware. These are unlikely, except for not working, but are all possible outcomes of trying this kernel. If you want to test this, read the OP in the thread for the Captivate version, have backups of your data ready, preferably duplicated to a hard drive or an SD card that is removed before testing. Have Odin3 and a stock Vibrant kernel on hand, and have ClockworkMod recovery installed.

If it hangs starting up, wait a bit, then pull the battery and start in recovery without trying to start up normally. Then, start clockworkmod, mount /system, and use adb to pull /system/user.log - this should contain a log of what happened when the user init scripts ran, and may provide clues as to what went wrong. You can make sure it doesn't include anything you don't want to reveal, and just PM it to me or join #sgs_dev on freenode and talk to me or some other developers there - perhaps a dev with a Vibrant will have a better idea where to start.

In the long term, I would not mind somebody forking the github repository to work on any Vibrant-specific issues. I can then try to pull changes from a fork and do builds for both phones, if somebody doesn't want to do the Vibrant builds themselves.

Good luck, and thank you. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] anomalous3:
if no one volunteers by the time I finish installing openSUSE I'll give it a whirl. the binary that is.
[Vibrant Android Development] Julianmgn:
ill be more than happy to test the binary
[Vibrant Android Development] ju5tiiv:
I too will be more than happy to give any sort of help possible. Should this be a start from a stock kernel and build deal, ie stock kernel stock rom just rooted with clockwork?
[Vibrant Android Development] Unhelpful:
If you're using a lagfix with the playlogos hack you should undo it first, or set up your user init script to run in the new early user init. Other than that anything that works with a stock kernel should still work.

EDIT: "lagfix", thx swype.
[Vibrant Android Development] justanothercrowd:
I'm about to build from your source i just forked to see whats diff then mine. They look though to be about the same except for nilFS

I will probably fork and maintain a vibrant tree with ivan who also has a Vibrant. That way we can get the best of both worlds. And being that we are in the same IRC we pretty much have identical mods to our kernels.

So most likely any changes you make to your captivate Kernel will end up in the vibrant branch as well and I also have the device to test with :)

See ya in IRC
[Vibrant Android Development] igm503:
haha if ur talking about the linux distro i know what u mean
[Vibrant Android Development] Unhelpful:
Excellent news! I have some things in my tree I think you could use here, too, but it's much easier to have a developer with a Vibrant who can build them and test immediately.
[Vibrant Android Development] rei165:
What advantages does the captivate kernal have over the vibrant kernal, if any?
[Vibrant Android Development] anomalous3:
The stock captivate kernel doesn't have any "advantages" and wouldn't really work. Unhelpful, however, has added nilfs support to the captivate kernel as well as some other tweaks, and has now made these changes available to the Vibrant community. As I understand it, NILFS mounts, reads, writes, and unmounts faster on our devices than any of the other filesystems he tested, so there's hope for a permanent lagfix.
