same issue here. im thinking when i flashed cm6 it broke 4g for me.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paull2824:
I had this issue a while back and i corrected my issue by using the 1.47 ruu and going back to stock then letting the phone pull all the ota updates back to 2.2 then used unrevoked to root. After that my 4g started working again.
[Vibrant General] herbie7159:
SO something nice and heavy feel on my lovely phone the Vibrant. I can power it up still but the screen is all black so cant do anything that deals with touchscreen.

The question is.......

How to get the stuff I had off the 16GB drive that in the phone?? I guess im out of luck on that. I get my new phone soon, thank god.

Since it happend at work, work is pay for my new one. :D

Anyhelp would be great, if there is none I understand. But XDA has the best people and almost always knows away.

Thank you

Can't you still transfer everything via USB, or do you need to activate that on screen?
[Vibrant General] alexp206:
I'm under the impression that the internal memory is just an SD Card inside the phone. Could it be ripped out and mounted on a PC?
[Vibrant General] dq13:
you need to mout the device to transfer via USB and that is done touching the screen. if you have a mac, there is a software that automatically mounts the drive and you would be able to transfer the files, I just can't remember the name, I have it at home on my laptop and I work late today
[Vibrant General] herbie7159:
internal memory is just an SD Card if thats true im set.

I dont have a Mac and since I get to keep the phone im in not in a hurry.

See I knew the people on here are good at what they do.

If I was smart I shuld have set it up in the settings to defult to mount, which I seen the other day. :mad:
[Vibrant General] psychoace:
Internal memory is most likely an on board chip and not a removable card. Unless Samsung wanted to pay more and waste space on the phone
[Vibrant General] bchalk:
Try android commander, or do things by hand with adb.

Does anyone sell replacement screens?
[Vibrant General] herbie7159:
Well I didnt get a chance to root the phone yet .

Also I cant do this step "- Settings->Applications->Development->USB debugging must be enabled" B/c the touchscreen does not work.

I can get phone calls, Email, Text but the screen stays black. I guess the buttons at the bottom work not sure since I cant see anything.

The power button does work b/c I can hear it come on and off but thats about it. LOL

I think im just SOL for now.

DQ13- if the MAC stuff will work I know 3 people that have one. So I can do it that way.
[Vibrant General] RobBull69:
Maybe this video will help you find that internal memory card:

http://www.intomobile.com/2010/06/14/samsung-galaxy-s-stripped-apart-bares-all/
[Vibrant General] dq13:
another option is... since you say the phone turns on and "all works" (except that you can't see anything) the touch screen, or digitizer, has nothing to do with the screen (LED) and that you can't see, doesn't mean that it doesn't respond to touch, so when you plug it in to the computer, slide your finger from top to bottom to open the notification bar and touch the screen where it woud be the "mount sd card" if you could see (righ above half the screen) and then a mesage should pop up asking if you are sure, so touch where the "Yes" would be. I don't have my USB here so I can't take screenshots to where the position would be to touch, but someone else here maybe can do that, otherwise I will when I get home around 1am

[Vibrant General] saldebot:
You can get replacement screens on Ebay for around $90.
[Vibrant General] All~G1:
Doesn't samsung KEIS do an auto backup if sorts? (never looked into it)

If you can get it to activate you might be able to salvage something.

[Vibrant General] Breach:
If you press the power/lock button, then swipe your finger from one side to the other to get into the phone, then long press on the screen.. do you feel the feedback? Is so, you can do as suggested above. You can't see the screen, but you can still mount the usb.
[Vibrant General] herbie7159:
Ill test it when I get home tonight.

I had a call last night and try to use the touch screen to pick it up, but that it didnt work at all.

The wife Vibrant came in today as well :( so I get her HD2 till my new Vibrant comes in next week.

Again Thank you all for the help, and im not going to give up.

Ill take pics of it when I get home so yall can see it. LOL
[Vibrant General] DaveANH:
I cracked mine big time - dropped on concrete. Big spiderweb crack. It cost $160 to have repaired from Samsung.
[Vibrant General] herbie7159:
Well lucky for me I have the insurance on my T-mobile line and its only $130. Best part since I did it at work, they will pay me back. Just have to wait till payday to pay it.

I just would like the info off the built in 16GB drive. :(
[Vibrant General] scrizz:
hmm, that's actually might be cheaper than getting the insurance....

thx :D
[Vibrant General] dq13:
^ It would be cheaper than the insurance if you break it two years after paying insurance and all that... but if you break it a month or two after getting it, it's only been 10 bucks insurance plus 130 and then its youtr choice to cancell, then its cheaper :P

The good thing about insurance is that it covers ANY phone you are using, even if you borrow from someone, not just your deevice. so if I boroow my friends brand new blackberry and break it or someone steals it from me, the insurance will cover it too!!
[Vibrant General] herbie7159:
DQ13 did you get a chance to look up the name of the software that could force mount my phone???
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
Hmm, when I plug my phone into my linux laptop it is automatically mounted.

I do have USB debugging enabled though, not sure if it matters or not.
[Vibrant General] dq13:
I never tried in Linux. I'm gonna try when I get home.. I have Ubuntu so I'll try with and without USB debugging
[Vibrant General] RINTHAL:
Does anyone have a walk through on how to replace your digitizer? I cracked my screen beyond belief and I would love to see someone do it before I open my phone up. Also I was told by T Mobile that I voided my warranty/insurance on my phone since I rooted it so I could not get it then I asked the dude at the store if I flashed it back to stock and he said that T Mobile will still be able to know you rooted it because you have to send the damaged phone to Asurion.

Anyways I want to fix my phone so I can have a spare LCD screen, because on ebay they have digitizer and LCD combos. Can someone make a video or walkthrough?
[Vibrant General] dq13:
By rooting the phone Yu void the warranty, but Yu don't void the insurance. You still qualify for replacement if Yu pay the deductible... ITS INSURANCE, NOT WARRANTY that you are claiming. That is why, if you reported stolen, Yu get a new one anyways even tho you can't send it of course cuz u don't have it. So if you really want insurance replacement just send it, or run over it with the car so it doesn't turn on anymore and then they can't tell its rooted since u think it makes a difference LOL (j/k)
[Vibrant General] larryccf:
there are videos floating around - in fact, the other cracked screen thread, the original poster that put up a video on dis-assembly, posted a link

FYI - a poster in the captivate forums posted a link to a vendor in Texas that had samsung galaxy original display screens for $60 or $65

here's the link to the vendor, but do a search in the captivate forum for "replace screen" and you'll find the thread - he replaced his but you might to contact him to confirm he was happy with the vendor

[Vibrant General] gold_sprinter:
Hi Guys, I have only had this device a few days and I love it. I work for an airline so I do alot of travelling, so a GPS and cell phone are pretty much a necessity.

Previously I had the HTC Touch Vogue. I was able to bypass the data and go directly to GPS (I used both TomTom and NavnGo8). I am wondering if there is such an app that will allow me to do this without using my data plan?
[Vibrant General] larryccf:
i was planning on doing same, assuming the GPS issue is fixed satisfactorily. But i believe you can't run an app from the SD external card until android 2.2 comes out, which should be here in september

but i've noticed some folks in the GPS "fix" threads indicating they've tested their gps on CoPilot, nandroid, sygic and others, so i assume they were able to install the mapping apps on the internal 16GB mem storage

i'll be curious to see the responses to this question
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
I think Copilot allows you to pre-load maps without the need to have a constant data connection, ala the true gps units.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] fuffalo:
Well I can't thank the vogue android community enough. You extended the life of my phone by over a year - and got me hooked on a great phone OS.

I've recently upgraded to a Samsung Galaxy S (not my first choice, but the best phone I could get on Bell - the only carrier in my city), and I now have a leftover vogue. I thought it might be of some use to a developer here and I'm willing to ship it out free of charge if any of them need it.

Just let me know if you'd like it (post or pmsg).

Thanks

What was the best and or largest positive impact on your smart phone expiration you ever made?

I have to say, for me it was returning my Hero before my 30 days were up and getting the original Droid. That was a great all around phone and there are great developers that make bad ass roms. Over all it was the 1st phone since the HTC Hermes that exceeded expectations! Like the Hermes it had a lot to do with developers to!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnydeathmatch:
I was wondering if anyone else has been experiencing really bad audio quality on the captivate, or if anyone knows what might be causing it?

I tried looking for info but all i found was regarding bad audio on froyo.

Im running 2.1 JH3, and I had the problem with JF6. I was using pandora and it sounded horrible (with both roms). I tried some other audio from the web today and it still sounds bad. Any ideas?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J4CC3B:
Go into the settings for pandora and check the better audio quality box. I've noticed with out that pandora sucks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnydeathmatch:
I tried that, and it isn't just with Pandora. This is the only thing making me miss my iPhone....

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnydeathmatch:
What I'm hearing, is that when I some music files, it sounds like it is really low quality. Like an mp3 compressed to 48k (or less). The singing in a song is hard to hear, it all just sounds muddled. Listening to music in the browser and Pandora both had this effect. I haven't loaded any mp3's yet (been busy learning and rooting, etc) but I have downloaded a few ringtones, and they don't seem to experience this issue.

Listening to Pandora has been both through the built in speaker, and the headphone jack to a speaker system. Horrible on both. Also, I was using Google's Listen to listen to the most recent episode of the Engadget Podcast, and with the volume all the way up on both the Captivate and the sound system, I still couldn't really hear it. I unplugged and listened to it over the phone's speaker, and it was audible enough to hear, although not at all loud, even at max volume.

Thanks a million for the links to those threads! I searched and searched and couldn't find anything relevant to my issue. Did you have prior knowledge of those threads, or did you find them by searching? If so, I'd like to know what keywords you used (if you don't mind). I'm always trying to improve my ability to help myself, so I'd appreciate it. It's late now, so I'm going to fully read those threads and try the fixes in each tomorrow. I'll report back. Also, I'll test my wife's Captivate to see if it has the same problem. **** it, I'll do it now.

Results: Pandora sounds fine through the internal speaker, when plugged into the speaker system (iPod dock w/aux in) it immediately sounds like ****. Perhaps the bad quality is only when plugged in, I might have just thought the internal speaker sounded bad because it's tiny. I'll retest my phone in the morning.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tytdfn:
Well i just kinda stumbled onto the thread when i was looking to see the source of the crackling and popping I sometimes hear. Though you could scroll down to any page of a thread and see the tags associated with it.

And to me it honestly sounds like a singular issue with your captivate. The sound is loud and clear on mine. Even Pandora is fine for me
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnydeathmatch:
I did some more experimenting. At first I had hope about the headphones EQ fix, because I figured out that it only happens on audio that is plugged in to the ipod dock. When using a headphone to tape adapter in my older boom box, the audio sounds fine. I'm going to try switching out the cables and try the other input on the dock.

And, it happens on both mine and my wife's phone. :mad:

Thanks for the info!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnydeathmatch:
OK, I'm an idiot. It was the 3.5mm cable (exacerbated by the samsung EQ issue). Thanks everyone for the help. :D

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] davebu:
I got this idea for an app when i saw the wimax notification app and thought that this is what it would do.

Notifies you that a 4G connection is available WITHOUT having to have your 4G connection on. It would be done similar to how locale location services work, I know where the towers are and your phone knows where you are. Combine the two and you can determine when you would get signal, but not be draining the extra battery of having 4G on when it would be unnecessary.

Anyone think that this app would be useful to them? Anyone know how to make it or that could help me make it?
[Vibrant Accessories] solidkundi:
Since my Vibrant is unlocked, I can switch between "Rogers" and "Wind Mobile" (Canada)

The only reason i'm even considering Wind Mobile, is because of their Unlimited Data plan... and I am well aware of their reception and coverage issue...

Whether or not Wind is willing to give me a Data plan alone is a different story....

Anyways, I was thinking... could i use the DuoSim Adapter and have both AWS & GSM simcard in mine...

and in theory, I use Wind Mobile's Data plan and Rogers Voice plan in one phone.... is this even possible?
[Vibrant Accessories] gsvnet:
I doubt you could use both at the same time, but I thought I saw an app at one point which actually allowed you to toggle.

Hi friends

I have a 2 month old HTC desire. it is not rooted ans is running on 2.2

Since the time i've bought the phone i have a problem with wi-fi. once i put my phone to normal sleep (short press power button) when i again unlock my screen after sometime my wi-fi is still connected but the problem is that i cant load any website or anything else through wi-fi unless i turn it off and on again.

Can someone help me on this?

[Droid Incredible General] suprdamn:
I want to buy Bluetooth receiver for my car that I will plug into the the AUX input to listen to music, something like Jabra A120s, google it.

Thing is the car already has bluetooth handsfree setup which I actively use (but it doesn't support AD2P).

Would this setup work for me?
[Droid Incredible General] earlymorninghours:
It should work. My Toyota is a hands free profile device and I also have a Samsung headset that operates in A2DP mode. The only thing I have to be careful with is to disable hands free mode from the Samsung configuration in Android. If I don't the car and the headset constantly knock each other off and it can be a real pain to stop the tug of war short of turning something off.
[Hero CDMA General] saltyclams:
When I found out that 2.2 wasnt coming out from this phone I decided that I would root the phone and load a 2.2 ROM, etc. etc. So I started researching all of these about 2 days ago... and for the past 2 days I have read so much information on this that I am now currently so mixed up and lost. There are soooo many different ROMs, different ways to do this, that, etc. I see some people do one thing that it works great, another person do the exact same thing and they havent the same luck.

Even when getting ready to just root the phone, I found an awesome post that had great information... but, then when I looked at it the post was from 7 months ago and in the N1 forums. So, I started to 2nd guess.

I suppose basically what Im in need of is possibly a normal/basic recommendation to get moving on this... Would a possible recommendation be to root the phone with the 1 click root being run through a file manager, then create a nandroid backup, then go with something popular like Cyanogen6 RC1? Its just that mod -seems- to be what a good bit of people have, and problems seem limited on it. But then again, ive read about 10 other ROMs that appear to be just as good, and people like just as well... so agian, this choice leaves me frozen as well.

Im just so overwhelmed with information ive just about frozen up... I think it need to bring it back to a basic simple plan to get moving on this. Everything I read in these forums sounds so awesome and just plain ole fun.... but like I said im currently frozen/lost. Please help if my request isnt too much...

Thanks! Any help with this will definitely melt this horrid ice!!! :):confused::):confused::(

Use this to root: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=753910

Just do as it says and follow directions. I rooted both of my brother's phones this way. It works.

Then do as you were thinking: nandroid then install CM6 RC1. It will probably be your best bet for a solid 2.2 experience.
[Hero CDMA General] ipfreelytech:
here's what I posted on my carriers facebook page. I kept things simple and to the point, and the point was to install 2.2 on a hero.

1. go to settings, applications and check allow installation from unknown sources.

2. install bar code scanner from the market if you don't have it.

3. scan the qr code from here: http://bit.ly/d1f0RN

4. download and install the app

5. open universal androot and click root

6. go to the market and download rom manager

7. open rom manager and click flash clockwork mod recovery

8. click backup current rom (you can always restore your backup later to go back to exactly how your phone was)

to load the rom after rooting:

1. download both the rom and google apps from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=755795

2. copy the zip files to your sd card

3. open rom manager and click install rom from sd card

4. choose the rom file you copied to the sd card and click add zip, then choose the google apps file you downloaded earlier. Click ok and choose backup current rom and wipe data.

5. Enjoy android 2.2 on your Hero!!

(be careful restoring stuff using mybackup, open source roms and htc roms don't store data the same way. applications are safe to restore but system settings can potentially break things requiring you to wipe and reload again)
[Hero CDMA General] regaw_leinad:
Not because it is my root method, but I would actually recommend using my root method and following all of the steps. It has you flash a custom recovery and patched boot.img so you keep full root via adb.

[Hero CDMA General] chromiumleaf:
CM6 is the ONLY 2.2 ROM for the Hero at this point. But know that it doesn't have much of the Sprint/CDMA or HTC SenseUI functionality and stuff that you're used to from your current phone....like updating Profile and PRL; Sprint Navigation/Football/Nascar/etc.; your Contacts, Dialer, Messaging, and some other menus will be a little different....that's just a few things off the top of my head.

So if you kinda LIKE the way your phone is now (except maybe for some lag/slowness), CM6 won't be a very similar ROM. But you won't know unless you try it out :) Just offering some helpful info. Good luck -- we're here to help.
