Did you still need help?...

If so, what exactly was the problem you were running into with flashing the PRL? And what service provider do you hear when you dial *22804?
[Epic 4G General] chouston33:
I was on the stock dk18 when i did this tutorial. Then i flashed the aosp ec05 rom and the hands free activation came back. Now I cant really do the tutorial because ec05 doesn't have the option to choose 3g modem in tethered mode. Is there some sort of alternative I can use to connect by 3g modem?
[Epic 4G General] synnmox:
There is an alternate method using the "##8778#" dial code. It brings up a menu, switch "UART" and "USB" options to "MODEM". Are you able to use that dial code?

Reprogram Epic to cricket

Hello all,

So I went thru all the steps and got the phone to work. The reason I know it worked is because with Sprint I was data roaming at my work, but after reprogram I had 3G in basement.

My question is this, When I make a call it still shows as my sprint # not cricket number, and can I just cancel sprint service after reprogramming?

Thanks in advance for the help

Patrick
[Epic 4G General] synnmox:
Does cricket have your Epic's ESN on the account? Dial *22804 to program the phone. Then dial 611: who do you hear? Cricket customer service? Or Sprint customer service?
[Epic 4G General] chouston33:
Thanks sinnmox. That worked perfectly.
[Epic 4G General] eramirezus:
I'm thinking about purchasing the Epic and flashing it myself to Cricket.

I read through many pages on this thread. It seems like MMS is "hit or miss" for some or only a few have been able to get it working. Is this the case?

I really need MMS so if there is no working solution I probably won't get this phone.

I rooted my EVO and flashed Jiminy Cricket ROM but I am having so many lag issues and whatnot that I have decided to switch.

So anyone got MMS working through Cricket on the Epic?
[Epic 4G General] terinfire:
I think there's a misconception. Quite a few people claim to have MMS working, but they never post their results or how to. I've talked with the guy who helped write DroidFlash (around Houston, TX) and he told me when I flashed my Epic (end of last year) that they hadn't gotten MMS working yet -- use email instead.

So, in my experience/research, no, you cannot receive MMS yet. If someone has gotten it to work, then they should really post a tutorial/proof of it.
[Epic 4G General] Potlvr420:
I agree as ive tried different roms, swapping and replacing mms.apk as some post suggest i tried editing xml files and apn all with no luck. The trick is in the mms.apk from all ive gathered reading but have just about given up as the very few that claim to have working can't or wont provide proof unless its for a fee.
[Epic 4G General] Custodian:
I'm sorry. I'm stupid and ignorant. What are the gains and benefits of doing this? I require pros and cons if someone is so kind to explainith me this i'd greatly appreciate it and hit the thanks button. >:)~
[Epic 4G General] chrisngrod:
Droid Flash was working for 2.1 and MMS for a little bit I know.

I just got a Cricket Samsung Indulge and if people with an Epic want to see some of the files let me know. I've opened up this thread for people to request for whatever files they want. Hopefully it'll help people with Samsung Android devices.....

[Epic 4G General] Potlvr420:
Well i got my Epic from someone who couldnt pay the bill and was disconnected. Sprint wont activate it unless i pay his bill but they did tell me i could call CS and maybe pay a reduced charge to clear esn. Cricket is no contract and 50 month for everything so thats one reason i did it. I also have Evo shift on Sprint so mainly reason im doing is I like to f@4k with things and learn. Plus extra phone could be my hoe hotline or give to kids when im out of town and such
[Epic 4G General] synnmox:
I've had my Epic flashed to cricket with MMS receiving working. use APN backup and restore and I'll see if I can find the MMS.apk I used. I no longer have my epic, unfortunately. I'm in the process of getting another one, though.
[Epic 4G General] Epiclectic:
Manual number change? ESN altered by QPST?

I bought a used epic off a sprint user. Then I switched my verizon LG phone to a cricket acct (w/o flashing). Now that my verizon phone # has ported over, I'm flashing the epic using my cricket info.

Everything seems ok, but now my final step is to call up cricket and give them my new ESN. One prob: When I hit "write to phone" on the last step of qpst, it said "ESN has changed". I checked, and it sure a f*%k did. Yikes. Is this normal? is this a new "cricket" ESN? It looks weird, like one number followed by the same letter seven times. Anyone know about this? really don't wanna take it in, since i'm trying to stay on the $45 plan.

Issue 2: on QPST, it says my phone's # is still the old guys number. Should I change this under QPST->CDMA->phone number-> IMSI_S ? (that's where the seller's old number still remains.) or is that number a "master #" that must stay with the phone? (note: I've already changed the "NAI"'s and user ID to MY number)

Any help would be awesome.
[Vibrant General] Ovrclock:
Check out Eugene_373's twitter. Looks like rhcp has a word that a 2.2 firmware for the vibrant may be coming tonight to samsungfirmwares.com
[Vibrant General] vinnydakid:
*fingers crossed*

I don't always complain, but when I do, I #BlameWes
[Vibrant General] flameinthefire:
i can guarantee you it wont come tonight. take my word for it. even if it does we wont officially get it from android for another couple of months .i promise you that.
[Vibrant General] zaduma:
You can't guarantee anything. I know this because you don't even know how the process works.

1st Step: Samsung completes update to be released.

2nd Step: T-Mobile checks it out, makes changes.

3rd Step: Over the air update.

Also check it out, if it goes on that website, it will be here, and you can flash it yourself.
[Vibrant General] flameinthefire:
dont wanna flash anything anymore. ill rather wait for the official over the air update. if it does come to that site. how long you think it will take for tmobile to send it over the air. and is that website official samsung website?
[Vibrant General] zaduma:
It's so easy to flash? Eh whatever.

T-Mobile has probably already been working with Samsung, so that shouldn't take much time at all. For T-Mobile to roll out the updates (to everyone) will take probably around a week or so. (I don't know why they would delay unless they need to make changes.) Like say they start Monday, some people will receive Monday, Tuesday, etc, until everyone has it.

And yea, I'm not sure if samsungfirmwares.com is an "official" site. In fact I'm pretty sure it isn't. However, a stock rom for 2.1 wandered it's way onto their before, and I mean, the rom before t-mobile even put their hands on it. So who knows.

I say to everyone. Hope for this to be real, BUT! don't expect it.
[Vibrant General] Ovrclock:
I can guarantee you.....that you have no idea what you're talking about. I said it MAY be on tonight. If its not, then no biggie. If it is, then awesome. But unless you're working in samsung's mobile division and actually have a clue, I say good day to you sir, and stop being the pessimist of the forum.
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
flameinthefire is just upset because he's been having a lot of problems with his Vibrant with battery and all that since he has made so many threads about his problems in the General forum.

Even if there is a OTA, you can manually push that update without waiting for the OTA as long as someone has the link for it. Just put it onto the root of your sdcard, rename to update.zip then boot into recovery and Reinstall Packages. Good to hear about this though, I'll stick to my idea by saying "I'll believe it when I see it" so I won't be disappointed if this is false. I'm hoping that it is true, but we all hoped the same about CM6 when that thread was made back in July because Gunnerman decided to post a thread about it to get people anticipated for it. (Not blaming anyone but it causes a panic in the community)
[Vibrant General] flameinthefire:
indeed lol i bricked my 2nd vibrant with the disabled keys now its stuck on the triangle screen. and there is no way out.. this sux
[Vibrant General] mistical:
It is not even close to being an official site.

Samsung would never purchase such a domain name to use, and even use WordPress on top of that especially with a free, ugly theme.

I already knew this begin with weeks ago when this site started getting mentioned on here, but if this site were official. I would think that there would of been more 2.2 news and release dates to come with those news too. :) Like I said, if it were to have been official. Which I am not saying it ever would of been with such a domain name, and using WordPress.

One more thing to note, Samsung would also never create a site at Google Blogspot/Blogger. They seem to have actually hosting somewhere else now though (they did not weeks ago).
[Vibrant General] zaduma:
Hold down on volume. (Keep holding this until you get to download mode.)

Plug in USB and tap power button for a couple seconds.

Boom. There is no confirmed locked hardware. It is just difficult to time.
[Vibrant General] flameinthefire:
i have the new vibrant with the hardware locked. i have tried everything. nothing worked. but what you are saying is that turn the phone on first. and when i see the triangle screen hold down both vol keys till it gets in to download mode?
[Vibrant General] flameinthefire:
just tried it. doesnt work

If I don't get FroYo next week, I'm probably going to start doing drugs.

We will not see froyo on this device soon . I'm sure of it, just like the GPS fix will never come out either. It's completely hardware. How do I know? I bird told me so.

[Vibrant General] rsfaze:
from Samsung_Mobiles twitter

"Froyo (Android 2.2) update for Galaxy S is coming by the end of September so that should solve your problem."
[Vibrant General] ZombieDude00:
Twitter now the official source for news...urgg Sammy you're killing me but I dig the phone ahh well 2.1 beats that 1.5 crap on the cliq
[Vibrant General] shootr:
Bull****. With this logic it's impossible to confirm anything.
[Vibrant General] flameinthefire:
agree. i just got another one that is hardware locked. this sucks. And about the 2.2

we wont see it until oct. it will roll out after the g2 is released. This information is legit.
[Vibrant General] ELStiko:
Its kinda hard to take news seriously from someone who legitimately bricks phones for a living
[Vibrant General] flameinthefire:
you would't talk if you had the locked vibrant . so keep your mouth shut. And go back to your xbox
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
I have to admit I don't understand the howling over Froyo. Yeah, sure, I'll be pleased as punch when it comes along, but is the Vibrant so bad on 2.1? It still feels just as fast or faster than other friends' phone that do have Froyo. So what am I missing, GPS and Flash? It's hardly something to go crying over. The Vibrant is still the best phone I've ever owned, so put me in the camp of "I'd love to have Froyo, but I'm not pooping my pants during the wait."
[Vibrant General] mr2t32:
at least samsung gave you the new flash lite that supports up to flash 8. I'm just enjoying my phone with the few mods I flashed for now. Better than the myTouch I had. Froyo will come sooner or later. The whole galaxy s line is currently samsung's flag ship phone and they'll be stupid if they drop the ball on this one.
[Vibrant General] clivo360:
Sit tight until Samsung's event on the 16th. They'll be showing off the media hub and the galaxy tab for US carriers. I'd assume they'll be making announcements about froyo also. If not, they'll be asked by nearly every press attendee at the event. Either way, we should have a better idea about froyo on the 16th.
[Vibrant General] SugarMouth:
I agree! My Cyanogen 6.0 Nexus One is only slightly faster than my 2.1 Vibrant in actual use, it benchmarks higher but I dont care about that.
[Vibrant General] wassefkamal:
what's up guys...I got a quick qustion. I just recently did a lag fix on my samsung vibrant and so far IT'S AMAZING. So do you think if I update to the froyo 2.2 I will loose the lag fix?

Thanks
[Vibrant General] Chalup:
New vibrants are locked because of dumb consumers such as yourself. The ironic thing is that you still insisted on messing with a locked phone and once again need a replacement.
[Vibrant General] smutek:
+1

The only thing I really feel owed at this point is a GPS fix and maybe ironing out some bugs. Aside from that I've got my phone running pretty well now.

Hearing all of this incessant, non stop blathering about Froyo you'd think the lot of us were refugees in a camp screaming for food and water.

Kind of exemplifies the trivial and petty nature of our society.
[Vibrant General] g1ftmfw:
Quit crying or switch devices... a bunch of you would seem to be the kind that would complain being Hung with a gold rope when you know platinum rope is made. Wait like the rest of us or get a behold or a cliq and hurl yourself off a bridge, pier or overpass / thread... if you want to complain about Samsung buy a behold and really see how a device running Android can really suck. Grab a tissue and an Eskimo pie... maybe mommy will get you the next new hardware and give you something new to complain about and quit vomiting where people are seeking REAL development info and hacks... /rant and hopefully /thread!
[Vibrant General] ELStiko:
Seriously ************? Seriously? At least I am smart enough to know when not to **** with my phone. I dont need to keep my mouth shut. I was not stupid enough to not only brick one phone, but more than one.

I would turn around that comment back to you about going back to your Xbox, but you probably bricked a few of those too. Brick a few more phones/devices and you can build yourself a nice home or 2.
[Vibrant General] 98classic:
lolololololol that is funny, i can imagine you yelling that to him, hahahaha. awesome
[Vibrant General] lotherius:
Compared to a MyTouch, this is a completely different type of device. Not even close. Passed the MyTouch off to a friend, and whenever I use it (to fix something for him) I'm amazed I ever thought it was any good. Actually, I never did. I had a G1, and then the MyTouch and both from day 1 felt lethargic and overloaded to me. I believe this is the first REAL Android I've owned - and that's even with 2.1.

As far as Flash Lite... I have to "LOL" at that one, though. I haven't found a single website that it worked, except for an AD on one site. That's *it*.

Now, I'd love to see 2.2. But I'm in no hurry to return this phone and get a G2, I am even *almost* sure it will last the length of the contract.
[Vibrant General] Alex530:

Flash Websites

The only reason I would love to have Froyo is so that I can listen to Talk Radio over the net that can only be listened to using Flash. (I wished they would make an Android app instead but they won't)
[Vibrant General] dasunsrule32:
Market -> Search -> Tunein Radio ;)
[Vibrant General] frankwhitten:
Sorry to digress from the topic at hand but have you tried getting to the download mode using ADB. Getting to the download mode is a pain in the ass using the hard buttons so I find it easier to use "adb reboot download" to use Odin.
[Vibrant General] DesignDawg:
Confused... You can already do this. We already have Flash lite. It handles flash websites, interfaces, audio, etc. perfectly fine for me. Maybe there's some site in particular you use that has something the phone doesn't support, but I have no problem with flash sites and audio with the Stock Vibrant.
[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
Recovery and Download Mode, have you tried this?

Have you tried the following? It may or may not work for you, but it works on my phone perfectly.

To Get Into Recovery Mode:

1) START with your phone off, do not have usb cables attached.

2) Press volume down AND volume up at same time, keep them pressed in the entire time, do NOT let go. I prefer to hold my phone in landscape, this gives me better control with my fingers.

3) WHILE holding down volume up and volume down, press and hold power button, DO NOT LET GO OF ANYTHING. You should be holding down volume up, volume down, and power, DON'T LET GO! HOLD ON... and proceed to next steps, dont let go!

4) PHONE will start, you will see the white Vibrant logo. STILL DON'T LET GO, volume down, volume up, and power all pressed.

5) White Vibrant logo disappears, still dont let go!

6) White Vibrant logo re-appears again for the second time. When the white vibrant logo appears the second time, let go of the power button, but keep holding down volume down and volume up.

7) Phone begins to enter recovery mode, you can let go finally.

8) To exit, select "reboot system now" and use your power button to select, you will exit recovery mode.

To Get Into Download Mode: (thank you again sabooher)

1)start off with phone turned off

2)press down volume up, and volume down at same time, and never let go until you get into download mode. DON'T touch the power button

3) while holding down both volume buttons get your usb cable which is connected to your computer

4)plug in the usb cable into your phone, while you still hold down both up/down volume buttons at same time. Don't touch the power button.

5)As soon as you plug your usb cable into your phone, the phone will instantly go into Download mode.

6)You may now release the volume buttons

7)To exit download mode, I just do a battery pull, but of course you never want to do this if you are actually downloading something, you may brick the phone possibly if you do a battery pull during an actual download. You can also try holding down the power button till you exit out, this may work also.
[Vibrant General] swehes:
Need 10.1

The reason that I can not do this yet is because the application on the specific website is requiring Flash 10.1. Tried it all ready and talked to the company who is running the service. A no go unless having a full version of Flash.
[Vibrant General] swehes:
AWESOME!

Got it. Searched for KRLA870 and it works. Thanks man. You have just saved my day. Now Froyo can take as long time it wants to to get to Vibrant. I have all the things I wanted in my phone. :)

It's amazing! Best custom mount I've owned. And the clip that holds the phone is also a removable belt clip. There's a punch out for the camera, been driving around with layar turned on. It is win.

I haven't seen it online yet, only in a store so far. Ill post pix later.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] tdiman:
Is it any different than this one?

http://amzn.com/B003LEGZGK

AFAIK, this is the only custom mount of ANY KIND for the Incredible produced by HTC, which drives me crazy.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] dalepl:
There are two versions available from the Verizon store. The one you linked to and one other. They both have one big issue. If you already have a protector for your phone that you like, it will not work unless you take your protector off. The one you linked to has one other issue, it uses double sided tape to mount. The other one I looked at had a suction mount, but as I said, it will not let you put your phone on it unless you remove any protector you are using.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] patches152:
the one linked is the one i'm talking about. i haven't found it on the VZW website anywhere, didn't think to look anywhere else. i don't use a case or anything full time, i ordered an otterbox for when i'm working to wear on my belt, but when i'm not i just throw the phone in my pocket and run. i wish seidio came out with a car mount like this that worked with one of their cases, that would be epic. i'm sure with a dremel tool you could make it work if you were so inclined.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] dltccf:
I have this one

I bought this with my incredible when I first got it. before 30 days was up the clip broke. I took it back and got it replaced. Then a couple of weeks later the new one broke in a different place. I hadn't even taken the new one off the car mount and worn it on my belt. I ended up cutting off the clip and gluing the clip to the mount so that it became a car mount only.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] patches152:
where did it break?

i'm wondering if there's a way i can use another company's clip and case without having to remove it. thinking of getting the seidio innocase and clip or something like that, maybe just cut the little tab off of the car mount clip and using that on whatever one i end up getting.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Grikshanks:
I don't want or use the belt clip, just adds another point of movement to the system. There's no happy medium with adjustments, you either get it where you want it and tighten it down to no flexibility, or it is way too loose. Due to the way the suction cup is engineered, the act of placing the phone or removing it from the clip torques the suction, causing it to fall off all the time. Was not at all impressed.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] luvit:
I have this mount I just pictured. I find it reliable. I do not use the belt clip.. I always leave that on the mount.

I have never used phone cases on any of my cell phones for 12 yrs.. I only have a screen protector..

Dinc goes in my phone pocket. My designated pocket only for my phone.. Not change or car keys..
[Droid Incredible Accessories] TheHouseIT:
Carefull

I have one of these.. or I should say I've had 2 of these. First one broke after about 8 seconds of being up and I tried to rotate the phone, and the hing that holds the clip on snapped.

Took it back to Verizon they swapped it out... had the second one a month or so and went to remove the phone and clip from the stand... and the plastic washer that holds the clip to the mount broke.... I now have it zip tied and it works great.

I was not rough with it, its just very fragile. Otherwise a good mount.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] todd3835:
I've had 2 and the first one broke within a week. The clip that hooks into the mount broke and wouldn't mount. The second one I had for a few days before it broke. The one the hinge went. I didn't bother trying to replace it again. They did swap it out, but if two break that quickly, I figure I'll just keep having the same problems.....
[Droid Incredible Accessories] wulfe:
Add me to the "it's too darn fragile" camp. I ended up buying a third-party "one size fits all" type... They lie too, but it works. I just have to adjust it so the volume key isn't being squashed. (also, no cut out for camera)
[Droid Incredible Accessories] madman34:
2 broken clips at hinge and counting.

Same here, my clip hinge broke both times. I just have it sitting there in the car driving down the road and the phone just falls off and the hinge is broken. I think the plastic is too thin, should be a metal part, and the spring tension always on it fatigues it. Bad design.
