[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user1307:
Hey thanks for replying bud. I guess I use my phone as somewhat of a media hub when I'm bored or need some downtime, kinda like how people have a ds or psp (except I have neither and those screens are much smaller) and I use the web quite heavily. So I want a phone that will be quick, snappy, able to do all these things without a hitch, and perform well.

Also, quantitatively, its somewhat of a trivial matter but I rather be the one going, "hey my phone has so and so quadrant and yours doesn't" than on the receiving end of it. :D

Of course I don't have a G2 and haven't been able to try one out until I go home in a few weeks so I'm mainly going by feedback. But if its completely lag free and performs well, I don't see a reason to not get it. I'm tired of waiting for 2.2 on Vibrant anyhow, I need my FLASH!

Btw, how is the audio on the G2? I don't have an iPod either :D and the Vibrant had pretty nice audio output.

Well I don't mind bias answers as long as they are true and factual. One of my main purposes of posting in this thread is to convince myself to get a G2 cause I loved the Vibrant (except for a few nagging issues).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] allthrottle:
I think that may have been worded wrong. I obviously know the vibrant is made of plastic (which doesn't by default lower the build quality) and the software bugs. The phone looks solidly built, and doesn't creak or crack however I hold or grab it. To me, that's a quality build, physically. It does feel fragile, but not due to poor build quality. That's due to poor choice of materials used to build it. My 9700 feels solid, heavier, well built, good materials etc.. But creaks, cracks, squeaks and wiggles.

It's not always about the materials, but quality control at the assembly line, which again, has little to do with actual type of materials used or software inside, and more to do with quality of the materials used and attention to detail by the quality control department.

The main issue I have with mine is the gps on one taking awhile to lock on, which I can't have if it's my primary gps source. I called tmobile about it last week, and should have a replacement soon. I didn't want another (this one has a screen protector on it), but if the next has the same issue, I'm thinking about asking for a g2 exchange.

Sent from my Vibrant using the xda-app.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Superfrag:
@allthrottle : You might want to flash the latest Bionix or FrankinTwiz ROM's. My GPS started working VERY WELL after flashing those ROM's.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E Double:
Thanks for being honest about why you want that extra phone horsepower. Most folks would blow smoke instead of just coming out and just saying "because its there."

I think they're pretty close audio output wise. I was astonished how loud and clear the vibrant's speaker was when using the public radio app out in my garage; Definitely louder and clearer sounding than my acer netbook, for what its worth. The G2 is damn near as loud as the vibrant (again, louder and better sounding than my netbook) with only a slight loss in sound quality. On calls the G2 is definitely quieter, but since I use a head set 9 out of 10 times its neither here nor someplace else frankly.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veritas17:
So let me get this straight.

If you don't care about the materials, software issues or plethera of other problems your phone has per your own wording, how can you even say the G2 can be of a lesser build asthetically or otherwise when save the hinge issue is the only problem the phone has? Its quite a bit faster than the vibrant but stop relying on heresay and go try one out for yourself.

Also are people talking about the stock vibrant score or a rooted one?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rUsTyRuSs:
A bit off topic, but I read somewhere that the cpu in the g2 is underclocked. Can anyone confirm or deny?

I get my g2 tomorrow and personally I will be keeping both and switching between the 2 =)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jorsher:
On the Qualcomm website, it says the official speed of the proc is 800mhz, so doesn't appear to be underclocked. Either way, it outperforms other 1ghz phones.

To the person asking about the audio quality:

- Speakerphone - kind of quiet

- Ear piece - I'm satisfied, seems to be limited by the source quality

- 3.5mm headphone - I'm using Klipsch S4 earbuds and am very satisfied. No noticeable interference.

Hello, I have a problem when listening to Listen.fm, Pandora and Youtube(both browser and the app)..

The Music streaming sometimes just stops or skips to the next one after playing it for 30 seconds to a minute...

Also, In youtube, when I try to watch long videos(10min or more) it stops when it gets in the middle and says Sorry This video cannot be played.. that is both in the youtube app and internet browser(tried all browsers opera, stock, dolphin, skyfire!)

I am running Vael ROM 2.2, this problem is really pissing me off especially when im showing someone a video!

Help?

[Epic 4G General] Moguledyouth:
3 days ago I downloaded a rom with the file name TB2V.zip, and now for the life of me I cannot find the thread or any mention of this rom. It's like the entire thread has been deleted. Searching comes up empty because the filename is so short...

This is a great rom and I wanted to keep tabs on the progress / updates etc.

If anyone knows who the developer is or what happened to it please leave a post. Thanks.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hanspeterlol:
Hello,

I really would like to use my "normal" headphones for making calls together with the internal mic. Everytime when I am listen to music and someone is calling me, I've to unplug the headphones...:-( Another example is: I've connected my samsung to my car via "aux-in" to listen to music over my loadspeaker in my car.

That would something like a hands-free system :-)

So... I think/hope this is just a software problem and somebody here is able to manage this?? :-)

Thanks in advance!

a fix that surely won't fix the problem with car Aux in, as the gain of the earphone mic is poor.

I think that doing a sw fix for the problem(listening through earphones, talking to the regular mic) will be appreciated by lots of people.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hanspeterlol:
Sorry for posting in a wrong section...

But anyway... this hardware fix will not fix the problem in my car.

And I think a lot of other users wants to get this working? And thats the point why we need developers...

I think theoretically this should be possible.. :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhoenixFx:
Which hardware fix are you talking about ? Using an adapter like Nokia AD-54 works with any 3.5mm headphone or audio out (including auxiliary line of a card audio system).

Other option is to use an A2DP BT car kit or a BT clip (like this).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hanspeterlol:
Ok thanks... if this is the only solution, I will try it :-)

But I also would like to have a software solution ...someday :-)

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheek360:
i just wanted to make a scenario just so i can get this proper procedure down.

lets say, i just installed bionix 1.4 with JAC kernel and the voodoo lag fix.

a month or so later bionix 1.6 has just been released, and i want to upgrade

first thing i do is jump on my file manager and go to the voodoo folder and rename the "disablelagfix" file to "disable lagfix" , this way i can undo voodoo temporarily

then i go into recovery and flash the new rom

after it completely boots i go back to the file manager and rename that "disable lagfix" file to something else

reboot to get new voodoo, and done?

right? or am i missing a few steps?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saiboogu:
That's about it. Just make sure you reboot after creating the "disable lagfix" and before flashing. It'll be a long boot while Voodoo is disabled. Then you can upgrade.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheek360:
Ok thanks

Ready to flash now I appreciate the help
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shockem:
Hello,

And yes, my phone is fine still running on stock rom, but I have trouble when using rom manager and booting into the recovery to load another rom, I seem to get the android monster with a attention side beside him, this happens when I sellect any option. I just rooted my phone so I am quite dissapointed. My HBoot version is 0.93 . Also when starting the phone while pressing the volume down button I get to the menu but how am I to get to the clockwork recovery menu? Any ideas how to fix the issue?

Thanks in advance!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Boot into HBOOT, select 'Recovery', you're now in Clockwork Mod

Easy
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shockem:
Thaank you, but when I select any option in the clockwork recovery menu I get that android monster picture and a attention sign. The only way to go back would be to press the power button. Any ideas?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sympala:
I Flashed my Vibrant through Rom Manager to Froyo 2.2 from eugene373 and sombionix.

After flashing to both ROMS for Froyo I wanted to revert back to 2.1.

I tried to put sombionix 1.3 eclair ROM back on to my phone using clockwork mod.

The flash was not successful it stopped in the middle but the phone came on with a Force close error of an android process.

I tried to reboot through adb reboot recovery with usb debugging enabled.

The phone shut down like it would reboot into recovery mode and now it gets stuck on boot at the samsung vibrant screen.

I tried to use ODIN to flash back to the stock Rom but the phone is recognized in ODIN but will not flash.

ODIN sees the phone but will not get past flash analysis. (Sat for 8 Hours)

I believe this is the definition of bricked. Please Help!!!!!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dragoth12:
Were you in download mode when you attempted to flash with Odin?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pdefazio:
ODIN as administrator

Don't know if this will fix it, but it worked for me.

If you are running Windows Vista or 7 make sure to run as administrator when opening ODIN. Just right click on the icon and select 'run as administrator' I would reboot first just to clear everything.

This helped me when I was stuck at 'file analysis'

Good luck.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sympala:
I Did not say download mode but it was recognized in ODIN
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dragoth12:
If your phone wasn't in download mode, (shows an android digging with the text "downloading, do not turn off target" than odin will not work. Download mode allows your phone to communicate with your pc while not booted into your os.

So Are You Ssaying I am SOL?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sl0play:

Cant get into Download Mode Thats why im saying that i am OUt OF Luck
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sl0play:
Your phone is hardware locked? AFAIK unless you are hardware locked you can always get into download mode. The non HW Locked models are basically unbrickable.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BabyBoi.JN:
I'm having the same problem... I'm actually in Download Mode right now... and ODIN sees my phone, BUT its been sitting on Download Mode with noting happening for the past 15 minutes and ODIN says this

<ID:0/005> Added!!

<ID:0/005> Odin v.3 engine (ID:5)..

<ID:0/005> File analysis..

<ID:0/005> Get PIT for mapping..

<ID:0/005> Firmware update start..

<ID:0/005> cache.rfs

Any Ideas??? I don't know what to do now. :(
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Remove the USB from the phone, remove battery.

Re-open Odin.. this time, PUT the pit/tar etc and preload it in ODIN before you plug in the USB.

Once you finish preloading it.. hook your phone up onto the USB and get it into download mode. And once its detected by Odin, hit Start.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BabyBoi.JN:

I had this problem before, which seemed to occur when I changed the firmware string in my system file to unlock the full android market.

I reverted back that change, and then restored from my most recent titaniumbackup to fix this issue.

I'm not 100% sure on what causes this, nor what exactly fixed it, but I did manage to fix it without a full reflash.

Hi all, i'm a new user and i have some trouble adding .apk's into cooked roms.

In particular, i'm trying to add some .apk into /system/app of InsertCoin Gingerbread 1.0.5

I have unzipped the rom, add those apk's, zipped again but when i flash it from recovery it says "Can't Find Update Script".
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbroeders:
Don't(!) unzip the rom. Just open the archive using 7zip or winzip (or something like that; right-click zip and choose 'open archive'). Then just move apk to correct folder. If you're taking apk's from another rom, open that using 7zip as well. Then, drag the program from one rom to the other. When you're finished and want to flash the rom, make sure you've disabled 'signature verification' in recovery (it is an option in recovery).

Hey all, huge fan of the site! I've seem to put myself into a situation, in an act of impatience,

-I simply copied PC36IMG.zip to the root of my sdcard.

-Then I rebooted the phone into HBOOT, and it did its thing.

But now it just keeps rebooting HBOOT. Have I bricked my phone? I would greatly appreciate the help. Thanks so much guys.
[General Questions and Answers] kecibuor:
I am also in HBOOT

Had and error when flashing Cyn ROM through ROM Manager. I am now unable to use the recovery. Basically just stuck
[General Questions and Answers] zentsang:
Almost bricked

Yeah. ROM Manager and ROM Manager Premium just hosed my phone. Luckily I'm geeky enough to have done the Factory Reset on the phone. I still couldn't book into HTC Sense. Just the HBOOT menu. So I surfed around, found the Stock PC32img.zip and flashed it twice (1st time Failed PU error). Then it finally booted.

Now it's like a brand new phone with the S-OFF still intacted. Now I'm going to reflash the unrEVOked 3.21 and get that back up. Then I will copy over my saved Nandroid Backups and restore the phone to the beginning of Oct (my last backup). Then finish adding in all the extras since. Oh... and also getting a refund on ROM Manager Premium since I'm still in the 24 hour refund period. Screw that app! I followed the instructions perfectly and BAM! Almost bricked phone.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Probably not. You can try, but keep in mind just because hw3d is working doesn't mean it's fully optimized, plus our hardware is paltry compared to basically all of the native Android phones.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssolomon:
I have rooted my Hero before using some of the older methods, but will be purchasing an Evo in a couple of weeks and was just looking for a very simple explanation of the difference between unrevoked 3 and unrevoked forever. Can anyone help answer that without starting another thread on the process of actually performing the root? I certainly do not want to create a duplicate thread. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidtx:
I just asked the same question yesterday. I read the entire unrevoked site, and searched like mad for at least an hour. From what i understand unrevoked used to just be a temporary unlock, in that S stayed ON, and you could lose root pretty easily, but unrevoked forever turned S off, so that your nand unlock remained regardless of what you flashed.

From what I understand though, with the latest unrevoked 3 (3.21), they basically do the exact same thing, but unrevoked forever is still useful for people that applied unrevoked, prior to the latest build, and now want a full nand unlock.

At least thats what I took from it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tws101:
Unrevoked 3 - Installs Super User and Clockwork and unlocks NAND

Unrevoked Forever - Turns S-OFF permanently unlocking NAND even if an official update removes clockwork and superuser NAND remains unlocked so you can just re flash them.

The latest version of Unrevoked 3 ver 3.2 and 3.21 both have Unrevoked Forever included to choose as an option. So just get Unrevoked 3 ver 3.21 and it includes them both in one easy install.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidtx:
In recovery, it shows s-off...I ran 3.21, does this mean my nand is permanently unlocked? Is that the default option with 3.21, I basically just ran it right "out of the box".

I think the unrevoked crew could do a better job of explaining this on the website. But don't take that the wrong way, they really don't owe anyone anything,we owe them and should be thankful for what we got, just a suggestion though.
