[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalibar:
[Q] Do we know the extent of the AT&T-friendly UMTS hardware in the T-Mobile Vibrant?

So as a lot of you know, the T-Mobile U.S. version of the Samsung Vibrant turned out to have hardware support for AT&T's 3G. But from reading user comments, it sounds like the T-Mobile Vibrant only has UMTS 1900, and not UMTS 850 as well. Obviously this isn't a problem if you've only got 1900 in your area, but I'm pretty sure we do have UMTS on 850 in my city.

I'm wondering if anyone with the T-Mobile Vibrant has tried using the extra 3G band(s?) and can confirm which are present. Is it 1900 and 850, or just 1900? Further, does anyone know how can I check to see which frequency AT&T provides 3G on in my city (short of relying on the clueless CSRs at my local retail store)? I've got a buddy with a Nexus One on AT&T, is there a quick way for him to see what frequency the UMTS tower he's connected to is using?

In the interest of completeness, I'll cover the questions that I'm sure will get asked so that folks don't **** up the thread with them.

Why not just get an AT&T Captivate?

Handful of reasons. I prefer the Vibrant's aesthetic, but more importantly because AT&T doesn't have T-Mobile Vibrant IMEIs on file. This means you can add and drop data at your own discretion instead of being required to use it, and it also means that their system will treat it as a dumbphone. Definitely a perk.

Why not just get a Galaxy S Vibrant from Bell in Canada? It definitely has 850 and 1900.

This is what I'll end up doing if the T-Mobile one doesn't work out, but it's a pretty big pain in the ass to get Canadian phones shipped down here whereas the T-Mobile version is readily available. Also, no warranty!

Thanks guys.

From what Ive read, the Vibrant works on 850/1700/1900/2100. --See edits below--

Band (frequency): 850 MHz;900 MHz;1800 MHz;1900 MHz;UMTS: Band I (2100);UMTS: Band IV (AWS);UMTS: Band IV (1700/2100)

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ram130:
It doesn't work on WCDMA 850. Doesn't support it. Try selecting it only and put a AT&T sim in and see if you get 3G. Yea you won't, then try selecting 1900 only and what happens? Yea exactly.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 02CWRX:
Well, I dont have one in front of me to experiment with my AT&T and T-Mobile SIMs, Im just going off the side of the box and whats listed in the menu (both say 850). I currently have a Captivate and a Fascinate, but Im looking into getting the Vibrant instead for a number of reasons so I was just poking around. Sorry if I was passing on bad info.

~T.J.

EDIT: I thought I read of some people getting it to work on 850, but that could be wrong. Im looking again... Could it be there just isn't 850 coverage where you tried it and instead was 1900 coverage? These are OLD maps though...

http://www.cellularmaps.com/att_850_1900.shtml
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ram130:
Just because the it's listed in software doesn't mean it can work. The Fascinate is a CDMA phone and your gonna tell me because you see the bands listed in software that it will work on a gsm network? Really? Either way I'm not trying to get you down. Just saying if that were possible, it would have been mention already. To conclude though, it all comes down to hardware support, the software is just mirrored on all galaxy s phones. The Vibrant only does 1700/1900/2100 for 3G. The 850 band would have benefit you better for in building support, but it's not supported.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 02CWRX:
That picture is from the screen of a Vibrant. Notice the T-Mobile branding at the ear speaker? But, I do understand about the listing in the software not necessarily having the hardware. Also, I edited my post above.

http://www.nwallwheeldrive.com/misc/Label.pdf

Heres the test report from the FCC (showing 850 Mhz GSM):

Heres the rest results for the Specific Absorption Rate (showing 850 Mhz GSM around page 25):

http://www.nwallwheeldrive.com/misc/SAR Compliance.pdf

My conclusion? Id say its capable because it has all the hardware (since they were able to test it), but depends on the network around you. That, or they literally software blocked it for some reason.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalibar:
Thanks for all the responses, guys, I really appreciate the thorough feedback.

Sounds like 850 is a bust, which is really disheartening. There's loads of T-Mobile Vibrants on eBay in the $340-380 ballpark, but it's going to cost closer to $500 to get a Bell Vibrant down here.

Greetings all,

I'm attempting root on the EVO supersonic using this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=787304

method.

But ran into problems with the Macintosh version (Intel CPU only I think - mine

is an Apple G4).

So I thought I'd attempt to use the Linux version. However, I'd have to bounce

my dual-boot BSD server to choose the Fedoa 13 partition to boot to. This might

pose a problem, as I believe Unrevoked-3.21 is 32bit. But my Fedora 13 is 64bit.

I am however, running several 32bit BSD servers. Which all load the Linux ABI.

So I was wondering if anyone might know if it is possible to run the Linux

Unrevoked-3.21 ReFlash on BSD with the Linux ABI loaded.

Anyone? :)

I'd happily build a BSD binary of Unrevoked. But the source is unreleased.

Thank you for all your time and consideration.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CTH-EVO:
errrm... this thing (linux version of Unrevoked 3.21) appears to be a

desktop application. Is that right?

That is to say, it's intended to be run on top of Xorg (from kde, Gnome,

windowmaker, etc...) - yes?

Thank you for all your time and consideration.

--Chris
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CTH-EVO:
OK It's running, now what do I do?

Greetings all,

Well, it might be interesting for others to know that in fact Unrevoked-3.21 does/will

run on BSD (FreeBSD-8). So now that I have it running (see attached image)

What do I do now?

Please help, I really need to use this phone, and would hate to have to leave it in this state all day.

Thank you for all your time and consideration.

--Chris
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CTH-EVO:
Linux not supported?

Greetings,

Well, no replies. So I attempted to forge on...

I read the info regarding the udev entries mentioned on Unrevoked's page,

and added the following 2 entries as mentioned (one per attempt):

However, I was left with the same greeting (see attached image) in both cases.

Maybe Unrevoked-3.21 doesn't support Linux after all. Well, at least Fedora

anyway.

Would greatly appreciate input here, if anyone can spare the time.

Thank you for all your time and consideration.

Hi,

why is the recommended size for the ext-partition for a2sd+ exactly 512mb, not 500 and not 550? I know about bits and bytes ;), but when I partition the sd-card with gparted, i can choose whatever size i like.

Are there any disadvantages, when I make it 520mb for example?
[Desire General] AndroHero:
512mb isnt the recommended size its just the most rom manager can do, i have a 1300mb ext partiton atm and have no problems
[Desire General] Deathman20:
Im sporting a 1Gig partion (890megs usable) with no issues. I know people recommend 512Meg partition but still that just seems to small and would still run into a memory limit. 1024Meg gives it more room, expecially when you are dealing with the Dalvik-Cache that will be on there as well.

hi there

i have a Hermes, exactly the T-Mobile version..

anyway it worked fine till one day i got no sound at all, no mp3 no notifications, nothing....

except the boot up sound... checked the forums, seems it's a common problem, and i figured that the rear speaker works (since the boot up sound comes from it), the speaker cable is connected so i have no clue... if it would be broken, than the boot-up sound wouldn't come at all from the rear speaker, riight?

changed like 5-6 ROMs so far, from 6 to 6.5, no changes with sound...

any clue guys what to do?

I'd need to solve this asap...

thx for any solution
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Papcina:
can please someone at least confirm me if my rear speaker is dead or not?

cos i hear the boot up sound from it but no other sounds...

please ,its urgent, thx
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] hfzarx:
Well, the first thing that i would consider doing is backup my important data and do a hard reset....why don't you try that too....?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Papcina:
okay

got from ebay a new speaker... changed it and it doesnt work either...

hard reset and changing the ROM (6-7 of them) didn't help...

at beginning the sound could be heard at boot only while playing music, ringing and that stuff was mute... after 2 days the sound at boot disappeared too...

so, does anyone have a solution? when i plug the microUSB to 3.5mm adapter i can hear the sound on my earphones, but there is no sound when played normally on the ppc itself...

can anyone help me to solve this? where could be the problem?

thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Papcina:
okay...

going mad really... now i flashed an original AT&T US rom (although i have a tmobile EU) and guess what.... i hear the sound back again, but only at boot up... other sounds in winmo (ring, mp3, music, programs) are dead... can't hear anything although the volume is set at max...

so... i assume this can't be a hardware issue..

before this ATT i changed like 6 more different roms and all with same problems... now i have sound only at bootup... does anyone know where is the problem and a possible solution?

thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Papcina:
cmon guys... don't tell me no one has no idea what to do..... :mad:

i've been flashing and reflashing the roms but so far i can get only the boot up sound... any other sound is not available.. why? how to repair it?

Hi all,

I am thinking about creating an app that I want to use on both Andriod and Windows Mobile.

What would be the best way of going about this? Using Java for both apps (limiting what I can do on the WM device) or going down the C# root with MonoDroid to help me out?

Cheers
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
Java is good because it can go corss-platform, just make sure the functions you use are safe on both platforms! I don't really know much about Android, so I don't know what MonoDroid is, but I wouldn't really see C# as a good cross-platform language...

Hi all,

Just purchased an X10 Mini Pro (U20a) and I'm really digging the li'l bugger. Had a few interesting quirks and I wanted to see if anyone has the same problems

Here's the basic info on the phone:

Firmware 1.6

Build: 1.1.A.0.8

Kernel version 2.6.29 SEMCUser(at)SEMCHost #1

Under Settings > About Phone > Baseband it shows at "Unknown".

Under Settings > About Phone > Status > My Phone Number it shows "Unknown". That had never happened to me with my other Android phone, let alone a SE phone.

Is this normal? BTW, the phone was purchased factory unlocked on eBay and above the barcode on the box it has SI 1240-1185.3 XL,AE (whatever that means)

Any help / pointers would be greatly appreciated?

I only have the unknown phone number "mystery" and one silly question:

Can anyone confirm, if the FOTA 1.2.A.1.174 pkg posted on the other thread can be used for a U20a safely? I think if I remember correctly, U20i users reported it working but I don't recall reading anything from a U20a user..

Thank to all users here for sharing your knowledge and helping others out!

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] anonimo:
I don't know if SonyEricsson feeds the two models with different packages over the air. If that's the case then it could be that the package on the forum is good only for one model but not the other. I updated my phone (MiniPro) via OTA directly from SonyEricsson.
