[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] returnofsid:
Okay, so it sounds like I need to learn how to use ODIN and "tarball?" Not only do I NOT know how to use either, I don't even know what they are! lol. Can anyone point me to a good, idiot proof guide on both of these programs?

Another possible option, maybe. My girlfriend also has a Vibrant, we purchased both at the same time. At this point, her Vibrant is totally "out of box" original. Is there a way that this could help me? Would it be possible to do a Nandroid back up of her phone, and use that back up to restore my phone?

At the time, I hadn't even heard of Nandroid, so no. I figured the Titanium Backup would do what I needed. Unfortunately, I was wrong. Since then, I've heard of Nandroid, but that's about it.

Okay, so I called my local T-Mo store and spoke with a salesman about this issue. Believe it or not, he actually recommended that I call Customer Support and get a warranty replacement, telling them that my volumn buttons aren't working. Honestly, I don't feel right doing this and would like to fix it on my own, errrr, with lots of help from here...lol. The bonus of fixing it myself would be that I'd also be learning how!! As I said, I know next to nothing about Android phones, so would like to learn.

At this point, I want the phone totally back to factory settings, and then I plan to do a lot more research, before making any changes.

Oh and in case it needs to be mentioned again, my phone is still Rooted.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geocepe:
if you download clockwork there are recoveries that will take you back to factory default. if you look in the devs part of the vibrant forum. then look in the Vibrant directory. there are stock backups in there.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 98classic:
did you install any roms? like eugenes or what ever after you rooted?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] returnofsid:
Okay, so Rom Manager includes Clockwork right? I have installed Rom Manager. In the Market, I see Clockwork, but it doesn't look like a US version, as the price isn't in $s.

As for a stock back up, couldn't I just back up my girlfriend's Vibrant, which is in stock condition, and use that back up, to restore my phone? If so, what steps would I need to take, to do so?

No, I wouldn't even know where to begin, in installing different ROMS...lol.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geocepe:
in vibrant general if you go to tips and tricks you can download the app there. it will tell you step by step what to do. so download it on the good vibrant and make the backup. then download the app on the bad one. take the backup from the good one and put it on the bad ones internal sd card. follow the steps to restore the backup. this may fix your problem
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] returnofsid:
Ummm, in your quote, I made something bold. Which "the app" are you referring to?

Also, once I've made a backup of the "GOOD" Vibrant, how do I move that Good Backup to the internal SD Card of the "BAD" Vibrant?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geocepe:
this is for the app.

How it works: The recovery is packaged as an update.zip that you run from STOCK recovery. The update.zip unpacks Clockwork Recovery onto the ramdisk and restarts recovery. When you reboot, it reverts back to the original, unmodified, stock recovery. So, you will need to keep the recovery on the root of your SD card as an update.zip, and apply the zip every time you want to start Clockwork.

HOWEVER, if you use ROM Manager, all of the recovery installation and management instructions are done for you!

Installation instructions:

Download ROM Manager from the Market.

Flash Recovery.

Choose Vibrant as your phone.

Accept the Superuser prompt.

On the very FIRST boot of Clockwork, you may need to manually select "reinstall packages" if Clockwork does not start. You should only ever have to do this once. It will be automatic from then on.

Watch the backup go!

That's it! This is completely painless and safe! There is no need for Odin anymore to replace the recovery or flash updates!

If you appreciate my work, please buy the Premium version of ROM Manager!

To transfer the recovery over transfer it to the external sd card of the good unit. then take that card and put it in the bad unit. then transfer it to the internal sd card.

I know this should be alot easier than i'm making it to be.

How the hell do I transfer a video I recorded last night, to my PC? (so i can upload it to facebook)

If I connect the USB cable, what do I select ? I selected "mass storage" but when i went to "my computer" nothing came up -- why not ?

What's the EASIEST way to send files ?

there should be an option to directly upload to Facebook -- like they have with youtube.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Anubiszx:
What is your operative system?

If it is mac os you need to put the phone's usb in debug mode. You can do this from adjustments, applications, development.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Funkadelick:
hey man

im using windows 7 64 bit

do I still need to put it into debug mode?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Funkadelick:
basically i want to know the steps/directions on how to a) attach my phone with the USB

and then b) to go through my phones files and select the stuff I want to download to my pc

why is it so hard for me? it's super frustrating

I honestly don't think it should be this difficult...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Bobler420:
when you go to mass storage you must still mount

follow the steps below hope it helps

1. plug usb in

2. select mass storage

3. pull the menu down and click on usb connected then mount

4. open the removable disk (your phone)

5. go to the folder with the files you want to copy

6. either copy paste if u want the files still on the phone or move to a new location on your computer

( camera pictures are in my DCIM folder then camera other files u need are some one eles not sure)

7. after ever thing is done and your finished transferring data to your computer

open the menu again selected usb then turn off .

your done.

dropbox said before is a site you can use to upload files to your computer on the go

say someone at home wants to see the pictures you just took on your trip its as simple as putting the pics in the folder dropbox and then there viewable on your computer i love the idea personally hope this helps
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BuddyLee:
I use bluetooth.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] anoneemooz:
If they're just short videos and you don't want to go through the USB process, then just upload them via Dropbox if you have a good internet connection. Google it, get an account, get the Android app. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ssj4Gogeta1:
You're missing step 3 in Bobler420's post. That is, after selecting mass storage, pull the notification drawer down and click on "USB connected".
[Galaxy S I9000 General] opica:
Exactly, you have to mount SD card on your phone via pull-down menu.

Another way (if you have home wifi network) is to do it with EStrongs File Explorer where you can directly copy/paste from/to your phone over wifi connection.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Bynar010:
Why not upload it via the facebook app? If that's what you are wanting to do.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ickyboo:
Get" auto sd mount" from market
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bakalamaka:
I do it via sugarsync (https://www.sugarsync.com/) - works nicely, even if the client could use some additional work....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Adevem:
you've gotta mount your usb from the notifications menu after plugging in your cable.

or use dropbox.

or email attachment.

or upload it straight to facebook.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Unimaginative:
I tend to use Dropbox since I'm such an utter slob I can never be bothered digging out the nano-USB cable...

It has the ability to create and extract zip files, but I didn't know if it was a matter of having to create an extension or whatever to allow the phone to download zip files. I am using AndroZip until then.
[Streak 5 Android Development] clubtech:
It seems that i am not able to get ADB to work on any of the 2.1 versions i tried.

I installed, uninstalled, reinstalled the Dell PC suite.

The phone is in USB debugging mode.

My device manager is seeing "Android ADB interface" under Android phone but doing "adb devices" is showing no connected devices.

I have an at&t locked phone which i upgraded to the O2 8105 release and then downgraded back to 6941 2.1 beta release.

I had no luck getting ADB to work on either firmwares. i never tested on 1.6.

Running windows 7 64bit and also tried on Windows 7 32bit.

Nothing works.

Anyone has any idea how to get ADB working?

I am starting to think that at&t somehow blocked ADB so we wont be able to install 3rd party APK's and it is hardware blocked. My Streak is two days old so i got it from recent batch.
[Streak 5 Android Development] quikt:
End task your adb.exe in task manager, locate adeproxy within the dell suite software and use that in place of adb.exe. this allowed me to get the sideload app working on 1.6.
[Streak 5 Android Development] clubtech:
THANKS!!!

that works. i would never figured it out myself.

So is dell doing this on purpose?
[Streak 5 Android Development] quikt:
Dunno if its on purpose, some kind of driver conflict with adb itself.
[XPERIA X10 General] abo999:
Got my X10 recently, nice phone :D

There is a niggle though: is it possible to switch off the front LEDs on the X10? Google Sky is fun and is nice when you switch on night mode, but as soon as you press a button (e.g. to search) the LEDs come on and bang goes your night vision...
[XPERIA X10 General] dundun1701:
What do you mean? You mean the notification led on the front? If it is, just search the market for Blink application.
[XPERIA X10 General] abo999:
Not the notification led; I'm talking about the two bright white less between the three buttons at the bottom of the phone
[XPERIA X10 General] AssyrianBLOOD:
Yeah your right. The lights sometimes bother my eyes but i use my thumb to cover them up
[XPERIA X10 General] donnytuco:
is there a fix for this? the front lights are so annoying
[XPERIA X10 General] carlpereira1987:
well..you could flash some 2.2 ROM and install some theme for it as a result of which those led are disabled :P
[XPERIA X10 General] iridaki:
The front button LEDs, oddly, are controlled by the framework-res.apk.

Don't know anything more helpful than that, just giving you a clue! ;)

[XPERIA X10 General] x10i295:
I've found a way to turn off the lights between the keys

I've just got my x10 and I love it... Apart from those leds between the keys that can be a pain. I couldn't find a way to switch them off

After finding this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7003710 and this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=711847 and some experimentation I found a way to turn off those bright lights between the keys:

1. install gscript lite from market and run it once, this should create a directory gscript on your sdcard

2. install text editor from market

3. create a text file and put these lines in it.

chmod 644 /sys/class/leds/lv5219lg:sled

echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/lv5219lg:sled/brightness

4. save the file as "buttonled.sh" in sdcard/gscript

5. long press on the home screen and select shortcut, gscript lite, menu, add script, load file, buttonled.sh, save, buttonled.

6. press the new icon on your screen.

The lights will now stay off until after a reboot

This might need root to run I'm not sure (I'm on the TEAM v2.0 2.3.3 ROM) I'd imagine it'll work on most if not all gingerbread roms and possibly froyo as well?

credit to Philosuffer and juanjitos as without their posts i wouldn't have been able to do this.

Hope this helps.

I lost swype and I cannot get it back. I lost it along with slacker, memos, mobiTV and the other apps that came with it.

Any way how to get them back?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] WilliamStern:
I think you might get better answers by asking this question in the hybrid tread?

I read that you need to install swype "beta" version to get swype back.

I'm sure the other apps can be found in the market I'm sure?

Did you even run a Titanium Backup to restore apps?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] SamVib:
Yes, I do a scheduled Titanium backup and backup before installing a rom.

You didn't lose them... you removed them by flashing that ROM...

Buy root explorer, move the swype.apk from vibrant9 (or vibrant7,6,etc.) into your system/apps. Worked very well for me.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] diaa08:
swype is the only one thats been giving me problems... others just need to be reinstalled.

can i get an explicit confirmation from those of you that says it works, that on r1, not the first hybrid (that worked for me), you were able to pull the swype apk from vibrant9 or whatever and get it working on r1?

EDIT: fix works. just pull and copy system/lib file as indicated below
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] realtalka:
Install the Evo Swype apk that's floating around. It works
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] wildklymr:
Eugenes roms don't have the bloatwate i.e. mobi tv and others. If you want them, back them up using root explorer before flashing streamlined roms. But one of the reasons the roms have a snappier response is that the extra programs aren't bogging it down.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] creator2456:
eugene gave the fix over in the Hybrid development thread. No other Swype 'fix' worked for me and his simple resolution has brought Swype back to my phone.

I'm on MoDaCa R8 and I have a very slow write-performance (up to hangs) on my desire using the USB connection (using Apps2SD+). I copy 70 MB first with 4 MB/s (Class 6 Card). Then it suddenly drops to below 1 MB/s, hangs and may even stop copying anything. Now the windows explorer may hang. Nothing happens for minutes (up to 15 minutes).

Maybe it's because of the custom SD-Card IO-Handler of MoDaCo which speeds up reads. I have no idea.

Anyway, when I take out the SD-Card and put it into my PC, it works perfectly and pretty fast

So, I swore I was just going to stick with the leaked 2.1 until the official 2.2 came down. Of course last night I hit the update and got the flashy lights, then flashed again and it works fine. I have a US-21 device and as soon as it came up I got a warning that said " You are attempting to use an unauthorized device, please swap out to an AT&T Streak." I guess it was just an O2 thing, because everything is still working. It freaked me the hell out though. I haven't seen anyone else post about it though either.
[Streak 5 General] nolabowler:
So u updated to the official 02 Rom and it said that message. So u said u flashed it again and it worked fine.... so u just installed the same update twice...... could u explain a little please
[Streak 5 General] jnovello:
First I used the OTA and got the flashy lights. Then I flashed the same build via sd update package. That's when I got the warning message, but I didn't do anything after that. I went to the about phone screen and it still shows my network as being AT&T and I can send text and get calls.
[Streak 5 General] kertong:
Are you sure you have a production US-21 phone, or do you have a beta streak that was flashed to 21? If it's the latter, that is the sound of AT&T bending you over and giving it to you dry.

You'll wake up in 2-3 days with no cell reception, no service, and all calls out will be routd to 611. You can flash 2.1, 1.6, baseband 00, 21, 31, whatever.... but you will still be locked out of at&t as this is due to an IMEI ban.

They have a list of all the beta streak IMEIs. Even though they are unlocked, fcc approved GSM devices, they are using the fact that dell said "you can only use this device until the end of the testing period" to force you to purchase another one through them before you can use your at&t service again.

I've been fighting at&t but I can't do it alone. I filed FCC complaints, spent hours on the phone playing customer service tech roulette, went into an at&t store, etc. I gave up and moved to tmobile, and it is a HUGE difference - tmobile is acually quite generous and isn't looking to screw you out of every cent. I'm paying about $18/mo less on tmobile for unlimited data, unlimited text (upgrdae as at&t had limited texts), so I'm pretty happy - aside from the fact that 3g doesn't work on my tmobile streak. I also bought a galaxy s through tmobile to spite at&t.
[Streak 5 General] jnovello:
No I'm sure this is a US-21 device. It's been a few days since that message and everything is still running fine. I just read another ATT user who has a beta streak that stopped working, but got them to hook it back up.
[Streak 5 General] irenic:
may I know how do u check that yours is not a beta version but is a real US-21 device? i'm planning to buy one streak soon and I hope to avoid getting beta version..

I'm pretty sure, because the guy I bought it from was selling it because he did not understand how to use it or Android for that matter. I doubt that he would have been flashing anything.
