So.. did you try it before you replied? You seem to need to prove how much you know about windows networking... so i dont assume you will try anything and will continue to mislead and place blame as you see fit.
[Vibrant General] Tarzanman:
I know enough about PC's to know to IMMEDIATELY uninstall software that arbitrarily knocks out your internet connection. Wrangling with it just isn't worth it unless you need it for something. Besides... how am I doing to download a firmware update if Kies has killed off my PC's internet connection?

Its bug-ridden crapware and I am far from the only person who has had problems with it. As a matter of fact, half the people who run Kies can't even get it to recognize their phones properly.

I'm not trying to prove anything to anyone. The extra information is there in case anyone wants to try to fix the problem. -I'm not going to waste my time fixing Samsung's mistake.

As for blame... its pretty obvious where the blame should go. I'm not having any connection problems since removing the software.

Samsung sucks. Plain and simple.
[Vibrant General] PaiPiePia:
You are an isolated case, seems to be only one complaining about it. I bet it's because you uses a USB wireless adapter, not that many people have that technology anymore.
[Vibrant General] demo23019:
.....................
[Vibrant General] Tarzanman:
Do your own tests. Run the software and see if it affects any of your other USB devices.

Lol at the IRQ conflict or bandwith suggestions. Nope, that's not it. :rolleyes:
[Vibrant General] NoDataFound:
You keep blaming Samsung, which is typical behavior. Meaning when someone had a problem they try to find someone to blame instead of taking ownership.

You could have updated your wireless nic drivers (or whatever nic was problematic) and then checked to see if there are known issues with Keis and whatever vendor and chipset you use.

Trying half way doesn't help anyone.

Im not saying it not possible that samsungs Keis software causes problems with certain configurations. Im saying exhaust all the troubleshooting options before staking your claim against the big bad phone maker.

Keep in mind you are trying to get something nonofficial to the vibrant to work. So its on you if there are problems.
[Vibrant General] demo23019:

[Vibrant General] Tarzanman:
I did just help people. I just told them about yet another in the long line of bugs that Kies has.

Only fan-boys would defend a product which is known for for having tons of problems.

Keep bumping this thread, though. hopefully other people with the same problem will see it and uninstall Kies if it causes issues for them
[Vibrant General] demo23019:

[Vibrant General] Tarzanman:
Really. How are people without internet connections going to post on the message board?

Besides that, someone has to be the first one to report any problem. No one believed the first guy who said the Xbox360 was buggy either

If you don't have anything helpful to add to the thread (except for not not believing me), then maybe you should ask yourself why you're still replying. It takes a big man to comment on a problem he's never seen, and doesn't understand, and decide that he knows better than someone who has experienced the issue first-hand.

Lol, maybe you're a Samsung programmer? That would explain a lot! :eek: No wonder Kies sucks so bad.
[Vibrant General] Tarzanman:
That's your problem. There's nothing to argue about. The software is buggy and that is a widely known fact. Go troll some other thread.

You don't know what you're talking about anyway.
[Vibrant General] demo23019:
....................
[Vibrant General] Gigamaster89:
The only reason he's even arguing with you is because you came off as a **** when you said LOL to his post (he even said MAYBE).

There IS nothing to argue about here, it works for some and not for others.
[Vibrant General] demo23019:
exactly, anyways i removed everything not going to stoop to his level
[Vibrant General] Tarzanman:
Hmmm, more like you removed everything because the front page is filled with threads of people having problems with Kies.
[Vibrant General] minedune:
DUDE will you shut up my god, no one else has your problem with kies disabling internet connection

How many people have to tell you this before it gets threw your thick scull
[Vibrant General] Tarzanman:
No one is making you read the thread.
[Vibrant General] Tarzanman:
Learn to spell. Also, lots of people are having problems with Kies and Kies Mini.

I tried Kies Mini on a seperate PC and it won't even recognize the phone (despite following all of Samsung's instructions and troubleshooting).

Samsung still sucks.

Stop posting until you have something productive to add to the discussion.
[Vibrant General] ruslanoid:
I have the same problem with Kies - makes it useless as it can not download the Froyo upgrade for me
[Vibrant General] Tarzanman:
Try Kies Mini
[Vibrant General] sinean:
Sounds like it may be some kind of irq issue. Just a thought since I've only had irq issues on xp.
[Vibrant General] rabarkar:
I have been following this thread as I found it googling around. Well, I have the same problem in one of my home computers, as soon as I install Kies, Blam! internet conection is dead, saying that the wifi adapter as no access to internet.

It is really annoying, as I am unable to use the update service. I have tested the Kies in other computers and is working well, so I think this is a bug in the Kies software, related to the hardware of the system presenting the error.

After reading the thread, I'm not sure if any other people has faced this issue, and if there is a solution of work around...

Thanks everyone!
[Vibrant General] couped:
Update bios, update drivers, download malwarebytes and run it in safe mode.
[Vibrant General] k0k05:
Just installed Kies on my fully updated Win7 laptop, with wireless connection to the internet. Same problem here, Kies messes with the Wifi adapter.
[Vibrant General] Phrack:
I didn't seem to have this problem with kies mini, but when I installed kies the problem seemed to occur only with my Linksys USB wifi adapter. The built-in wireless on my Toshiba is unaffected. I even went into device manager and disabled the built-in wifi to avoid conflicts but the USB wifi nevers seems to be able to connect. I guess kies usb drivers conflicts with USB wifi drivers somehow..My USB flash drives all seem to work fine as does my printer/scanner.

I happen to agree that kies/kies mini is buggy..Am I going to bash Samsung? No, because this isn't my first cell phone. Let me go on the record to say...

Samsung Easy Studio (for older samsung phones) is a buggy POS

Motorola Phone Tools V4 is a buggy POS

Nokia PC Suite/PhoneSuite are both buggy POS

Microsoft Activesync is the least buggy of all the above, but bug-ridden nonetheless.

Apparently no one is able to code a proper app for syncing/managing handsets..or what I believe these apps are written by the cheapest outsourced consultants with only the most basic quality control and testing performed.

Some of you need to develop more patience, especially since few consumer goods were EXACTLY as advertised. Everything on the commercials always works perfectly, it's marketing's job to make you want to give them your money.

"Ooooooo ahhhhh, that's cool, I want that" is the expected reaction.

I've owned too many cell phones over the years to count, they ALL had the pros and cons, just like my vibrant. It's the best phone I've owned to date. Are there better phones out there? Of course, no matter what phone you own there will always be a better one every 6 months.

I've had problems with other brand new things I've purchased in life (cars, washers/dryers, game consoles, refrigerators, laptops, etc.). It's just the way it is.
[Vibrant General] sader0:
Same issue here. Windows Vista PC.

Wireless connection get "local network only" once kies has started...
[Vibrant General] Manphius:
same problem here. and if i let windows solve the problem automatically with kies runing, windows shuts down kies with an error, and reinstall my net. So there is defenetly a conflict
[Vibrant General] EmoEskimo:
Kies never has seemed to work properly or reliably, and I doubt Samsung will ever put in too much work to fix it...
[Vibrant General] lindadb:
This happens to me too.

Has anyone found a solution to this.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Grand and installed Kies software

Now when I activate it from laptop it disables the wi-fi.

I have also tried this from a different location - signed into the broadband wifi, activated laptop and kies and BANG, no wifi.

I have reinstalled software twice....

HELP.....Please
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surrealmethod:
Is there a way to send a file to my evo using my wifi connection at home or do I have to use the cable?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] massivebasset:
this is kind of a backwards way to just to straight file transfer, but I use Dropbox all the time. It has many more uses as well, but will get File A to Evo B too.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helioXverse:
Dropbox, then send the link with chrome-to-phone. Still not quite the same as a direct send, but if you are on wifi it should be fairly fast.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surrealmethod:

Take a look at Wifi File Explorer Pro. (Can't post links, but a search on the Market or App Brain will turn it up)

Less than a dollar and works spectacularly.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blix1337:
Dropbox is great imo. You get about 2 gigs to keep whatever you want on there. And it keeps it synced between all devices.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jahnile:
You can also use wifi file explorer pro, very wonderful app. Dropbox is also good but with wifi file explorer you can just open up a web browser and go to the ip address of your device and you good to go.you can delete files ,browse file and add files to your sd, all done from the web interface...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CTH-EVO:
yes Bluetooth is my favorite choice.

especially nice for syncing contacts and calendar stuff from phone/computer, or any reasonably smart Bluetooth enabled device.

Went to Radio Shack yesterday to swap out my phone and they had it reduced to $219.99 . I had bought two of them at the Irvine,ca location and received $60 dollars back!!!

Edit :

Radio Shack will price match the phone if it goes on sale within 30days of the purchase date. For those like myself who bought on release day the 9/30 would be the last day for price match!
[Epic 4G General] scriz:
Wirefly has it for $199 with Free activation. ;o
[Epic 4G General] kawauso:
damn I just got mine last weekend and paid 250 for it, I'm going back this weekend to get the price difference back.

I love Radio Shacks policies on this sort of stuff, by far the best to deal with when it comes to these things.

Thanks for posting, you just saved me some cash!
[Epic 4G General] NeonMonster:
You are saying if we purchased the phone full the $250 ANYTIME, we can go and get money back for the reduced CURRENT price? Or only recently?

From what I can find, if the price drops within 30days of the CONTRACT opening date, then you can get the price difference? I opened the contract/purchased the phone on the 31st, today 30th is the final day of my 30 days.

I'm going to go to them and ask if I can get my $30 bucks back in the morning. :)
[Epic 4G General] superbraut:
IMO even if the shack offers the lower price for the phone, it comes at a cost; the cost of only dealing with radio shack when it comes to any cell phone issues. I was debating this issue when i was switching to sprint.

I talked to a rep over the phone and she said that if i switched to sprint through a third party, everything has to be dealt with that third party. that also means radio shack does not have the authority to waive activation fees , waive restocking fee for phones if you decide to siwtch phones during the 30 day trial period. I decided to go with an official sprint store and got a heck of a deal. You just gotta let them know that youre serious and you want the best deal.

The sprint store rep hooked me up with waived activation fees for two lines, an extra battery for my epic, the offer to waive the restocking fee if i wanted to swtich phones to somehting else, completed my rebate for me, hooked me up with cool apps etc.

I dont mean to make your thread look bad , but i just wanna inform ya, and plus i cant sleep right now. for the 20$ difference i would still go to a official sprint store. just my two cents
[Epic 4G General] NeonMonster:
Theres a flaw in your logic. ;)

Radioshack THEMSELVES is not able to waive the activation fee. BUT as a Sprint Premiere customer, you can call up sprint and have THEM waive the activation. Which I did, and had 2 activation fees removed (from my Epic, and an upgrade on another line on my family plan)

$250 withOUT a mail-in rebate, + addition $30 difference refund is the cheapest you will be able to get the phone offline. In my experience Radioshack was pretty easy to deal with when getting a exchange (which I did for my 1st Epic with faulty battery).

So really, all you got was a free battery out of it. Which is a good deal in any case, but really the freebie is just to get your commission. When my friend got her Evo from Radioshack, they hooked her up with a free battery, case, and car charger! Anything for your business right? ;)
[Epic 4G General] d94:
got my $30 back! radioshack's fine..they swapped my phone out twice and after 30 days im a free man
[Epic 4G General] robl45:
if we bought on launch day, can we still go back today for the difference, I bought 2, so 60 bucks off would be nice.
[Epic 4G General] stinger4321:
I bought mine on launch and the other a week after. You have 30 day price guarantee
[Epic 4G General] robl45:
yea, but does today still count at 30 days if you bought on launch day or was that yesterday?
[Epic 4G General] d94:
i bought mine on launch and they had np's
[Epic 4G General] NeonMonster:
I'm getting conflicting answers! :( :( :(

I called one Radioshack, and they straight up said NO THE 29TH WAS THE LAST DAY TO DO IF YOU BOUGHT IT ON LAUNCH DAY.

Then another straight up said NO WE DON'T DO PRICE MATCH PERIOD.

Then another said, Yeah sure we can do the price match, today is the LAST day of the 30 days.

***EDIT***

I'm about to go to my Radioshack and ask them about the 'Price Protection'. I just spoke with another Radioshack store manager, and he said that TODAY IS THE LAST DAY OF THE 30 DAYS FROM LAUNCH DAY, but that we are STILL eligible for the price protection. He said that if MY radioshack refuses to refund my money, that if I contacted him, he would call up the Sprint district manager to *personally* contact my store for the refund. :)

People, if your Radioshack tries to say YESTERDAY was the last day, don't be scared to put your foot down.
[Epic 4G General] scriz:
"Technically" Today is day 31. 31st being day 1, plus 29 days = 9/29.
[Epic 4G General] NeonMonster:
Thats if you look at the day of purchase as being a day.

I bought my Epic on the launch day (31st), and opened my contract on the 31st. They stated that you have 30 days from opening the contract which doesn't count the 31st as a "day".

I called Sprint to ask about adding insurance to my line which HAS to be done within 30 days of opening the contract TODAY, and the Sprint rep said TODAY is the last day of the 30 days to add insurance.

I know 'technically' that today is the 31st day. But contract wise, today is the 30th day.
[Epic 4G General] robl45:
I was told that my 2 year contract expired on the 30th of 2012, was also told I could add insurance up till the 30th. so radio shack should honor this, my store is kind of difficult so I'll make sure they notate that i was in there and they said no if they give me issues then insist on speaking to a district manager or call radioshack on the phone,
[Epic 4G General] NeonMonster:
So I successfully got my 30 refunded.

It wasn't easy and my RS said that today was my 31st day. I went off on them in the store because they don't state that the 30 days starts on the day of purchase.

They ended up having to call sprint to over ride the system to allow my refund. I'm glad they went through the trouble to get my refund back but they shouldn't advertise a price protection policy if they don't wanna follow through with it.

My 30 days end today so I won't be dealing with radioshack anymore either way.

[Epic 4G General] bubby323:
Our radioshack reps are greatly helpfull to us always without a doubt. So it goes without sayin, i got a refund of 30 something dollars. Thank guys for the heads up. (:

Thanks O.P. !
[Epic 4G General] bobdude5:
Thanks OP i went and got 90 bucks back :)
[Epic 4G General] robl45:
yea, I got my 63 dollars back, 2 phones, 30 dollars each plus tax, although at my radioshack, trying to do anything with wireless phones requires 15 trys and an hour of my time. I was a little annoyed by the end.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Idan73:
As stated in the title I need short video file download from those running on jpk. 1280 by 720. Daytime nighttime does not matter. Just playing around with codecs.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jplt:
here you go
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Idan73:
thanks a lot.

good to know that froyo brings mp4 with aac instead of eclair crappy 3gpp with amr. should be better for the concerts and loud environments now.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] moosamm:
lol...When i first saw the video i laughed, i didnt read wat the op said, just the title...rofl
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] azreil24:
@idan - there is no significat difference with aac audio, the sound is still crappy when you record a concert.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dagrim1:
Damn audio, totally ruins the recording/video experience with this phone...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] PlanetJumble:
It still is a great improvement, now I can just make a video, start AllShare and immidiately see the result on the big screen using my PS3. I always thought it was a shame to use this stupid 3GP container so I have to remux all the videos on my PC.

As for the sound: does the phone record from headset if connected? If yes, I guess this could be exploited to use a better microphone. The inbuilt one is meant for the phone function, obviously, and they just didn't add another for noise cancellation and video recording.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Spik3balloon:
Fantastic. Now all we need is touch-to-focus in video mode. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SKeijmel:
another nice thing would be to be able to change the recording sound volume or some thingy that corrects its selve when you record loud things.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] uberberben:
It is possible to record from headset but sound is still crappy. It's software problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] azreil24:
The problem is with the mic itself, it is very sensitive, it would be great if there was an app that could monitor the input level of the mic and adjust de volume when its lower or higher than a certain threshold level, if not automatic at least manually.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] franklin01:
Some kind of mic equalizer?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Idan73:
my bad it was always aac audio and not amr. by mistake i compared with old nexus video lol. only wrapper changed to mp4.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SquirtingCherry:
The Cyanogen mod is gonna have this feature :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] celeronix:
This is just a stupid iPhone function. Video recording auto-focus is much usefull and better when you shoot a video.

StatusBar/Framework Theme Manager

Android/Cyanogen really needs a better way to handle themes, like Desire HD or Z would be ideal. Themes would be in APK form and have a drawable-hdpi & drawable folders with the framework graphics you want to replace. I have really no coding skill, I was looking on Anderwebs Github trying to see how his themes work. How do I change/intercept where the framework looks for drawables? This is way over my head but I'm trying, at least I'll learn a few things. Anyway if someone with more experience would be willing to help that would be awesome!

I know that applying zips or metamorphs is not that hard to do. But this would make so many things better, like having time to add to themes instead of updates. Not having to apply each update or better yet each night if your a nightly guy like myself. Nightly themes are rare, metamorph is really the only way due to things changing constantly. Bottom line, I think this would be a badass addition to any custom ROM!

Let me know what you guys think? Better yet if you can contribute let's get this show on the road 8)

I am running CM6 and liking it so far. I do miss one feature though - apps2sd. That just automatically took care of moving all my apps at once to the SD card.

2.2 has built in move to SD, but it's tedious. I have to go into the dreaded Applications page under settings which takes forever to load, then select each app and then click on the "move to SD" button for each one.

Is there a way to move multiple or all apps to SD in CM6 at once?
