[Vibrant General] db3:
I have to admit that although I enjoy using the phone (much more than I even anticipated), i hated that it looked so much like an iPhone; so much so that people asked me when i got the iphone when seeing me with it. That was very annoying. I chose this phone based on the specs. Besides, there are plenty of apps out there that allow you to change the look and feel.

For me, I found the 4" screen really appealing. 4.3" doesn't sound much bigger than 4", but it really is. 4" fits more comfortably in the hand. This was important to me. The EVO and Droid X look like small tablets in comparison... Build quality of HTC and Motorola phones is significantly better though. I will say that my 1.5yo has thrown my phone a few times and (surprisingly) there's no damage. Not even a scratch. I'm also better at keeping it out of reach -- my luck may run out one day.

In terms of lag, i haven't experienced much at all. however, further to a previous point, i have noticed that NewsRob can be very slow. Now, my wife and I both got our Vibrants at the same time. I've downloaded apps, rooted, changed the lock screen (so nothing significant), run ADW instead of twiz, and the performance isn't quite as snappy as when i got it, but still very usable and not bad at all. My wife downloaded a few games, uses gmail, talk, calendar, and astrid extensively. she's unrooted and stayed with twiz. her phone is still as snappy as the day we received it. she spends all day on her phone (she's literally addicted to it) and her battery lasts over 24 hours (mine lasts 12-16 hours).

so these are our experiences. hope it helps. good luck!
[Vibrant General] Tarzanman:
Wait.

No one knows how good the G2 or MyTouch HD will be. The Vibrant is a decent phone, but it isnt' perfect.

For all we know, the MyTouchHD might have better resolution, more memory, more storage, a flash and a dual camera.
[Vibrant General] mmalott:
I agree that Samsung will not be providing an Android 3.0 update and that devs will push the 3.0 roms to the various Galaxy S devices. I would add that with the Galaxy S on all 4 major US carriers, I don't see how it won't receive even more dev love once they fully figure it out.

[Windows Mobile] kristofpetho:
Does anyone else get this?

On every boot, my custom ROM (COM2 and 3) starts iexplore.exe with the link "http://-s/".

I have to kill it every time on bootup.

What could be causing this?

Thanks in advance!

SOLUTION: RunCC had the line PreluanchPIE, that needed to be removed... :D
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
Have you checked your startup folder, or the launch keys in HKLM\init (or bootlauncher keys)?
[Windows Mobile] kristofpetho:
The startup I checked, but the init not. Thanks for the tip! :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sterlinron:
Ok. I'll try to make this short.

My phone was originally 2.1 used original unrevoked to gain root. Then did the original toast method I flashed some roms then unlocked nand. Jumped to 2.2 flashed more roms updated radios wimax etc.

Anyway the other day I decided to try the latest Fresh Rom, and update to the latest PRL, Wimax, Radio etc.

I went in wiped everything, and I had never tried to restore any of my nandroid backups I have made along the way. So I thought I would try one since I was in there messing around. I tried it, and got stuck in recovery. A good place to be I guess. So I flashed the new radios and the Fresh Rom and got it back up and running. I tried the ##775# hack to see how it worked. Had to downgrade the EPST file to the 2.1 in order to get the ##775# to work.

About this time I realized my music player couldn't find any music. I looked and it was all still there. Same as it had always been. It just says no music found, won't let me do anything besides back out of the program. I tried to go into my gallery/albums. Same thing. Can't find anything. At first I blamed the Fresh Rom, so flashed another Rom AVA 8, and same problem. The music files will play if I choose them from a file manager, same with the photos and videos. But I cannot access them through the players.

I tried different music players from the market place and same problem. They can't see the files. I cleared program caches, I checked folder names and locations. I tried renaming the music folder, making a new one in the same place, and copying music into it. No Luck. Then I tried uninstalling and removing the htc music apk. Then pulled one out of a rom file to install it, and it says Install could not complete. Or something like that.

My best guess is that when I did that Nandroid restore. It screwed something up in the file system. I may have tried to restore a 2.1 nandroid backup. In fact I am pretty sure I did now that I look at it.

Where should I go from here?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sterlinron:
BTW I have flashed wiped and re flashed roms this does not fix the problem.

Do I need to un-root and start over with a PC136 whatever image?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sterlinron:
Another note. Even though my pictures and music are still there. My videos seemed to have disappeared. This sucks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sterlinron:
Ok, so I got it working.

Backed up the data to my PC, then formatted the SD card and put the stuff back on and it works.

I don't know what happened to the video files they are just gone.

[Captivate General] klcross87:
[Q] Is there a difference in the AT&T JH7 OTA update and Kies Mini Firmware update??

So I was one of the lucky ones who was able to get the OTA update from AT&T to install correctly. I now have Quickoffice and GPS seems to have improved drastically. However, I dont feel that my media scan times and "lag" have been improved, if anything they have gotten worse.

I guess my main question is, is there any difference between the OTA update AT&T released and the firmware update Samsung just released thru Kies? I recall reading some threads where people posted conversations with Samsung reps saying not to download the OTA update from AT&T because it wasn't the official update. Maybe I should have listened.
[Captivate General] sifulee:
They are the same.
[Captivate General] Colton5419:
I'm on the Kies Mini update of JH7, I can't speak on the standpoint of comparison between Kies Mini and OTA as I couldn't successfully install the OTA.

However, the Kies JH7 has been running perfectly for me since I've installed it - seem's to have all the same features and changes as the OTA
[Captivate General] Krad:
check the build dates...

there is a command to check it, just forgot what it was...

the kies mini is 9-10-2010

what about ota version?
[Captivate General] cappysw10:
It is the same.
[Captivate General] Colton5419:
I would agree that they are both the same - after further comparison of the version info etc.
[Captivate General] derek4484:
Supposedly the same. The OTA JH7 and Kies Mini JH7 should be the same. These however are different from the JH7 that was "leaked" on the samsungfirmwares.com website.
[Captivate General] mikeypopps:
Question for those who did the Mini Kies, Did you lose your modifications and apps?
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
I did regular Kies - and the answer is no. No one using any method lost anything. This is not a full firmware update it is only a few MB.
[Captivate General] oldbbman:
Being a noob at Android ( came from BB, and thankful I did :D) I have two questions:

* The OTA said it failed yet my Phone reads

Model...........SGH-1897

Firmware.......2.1-update1

Baseband Version.....1897UCJH7

Kernal version......2.6.29 jetaek.lee@sep-11 #2

Build number......Eclair

Nothing after the Eclair like Coltin 5419 has after his

* How do I check Quadrant Scores?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hey i want to know how to format SD-Card ideally:

for example which allocation unit size ?

lg

tonga

Edit:

I was told in IRC to use SD Formatter 2.0

You should turn "format size adjustment" on
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] memin1857:
Higher allocation sizes are always higher in performance, but you loose capacity depending on the contents of your card. (small files occupy more space then their real size and you waste some space)

Panasonic sd format tool properly formats your sd card. Setting ERASE ON should also help with performance degradation.

If you want highest performance and do not care about some wasted space, format your card with panasonic sd format tool 2.0 or 3.0 with ERASE set to on. Panasonic tool usually formats with 32K size by default. (Larger cards)

After panasonic tool you can reformat your card with 64K cluster size in windows format.

High allocation size also lowers stutters under many android linux kernels. (especially evo based ones)

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Texas01:
I used SDFormatter 2.0 with adjustment on. It formatted the card to FAT32, which is what pretty much everyone says is the correct format for Android.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kikikuku:
how do u know if the sd card is formatted to FAT32 ? i have no option while using the software. the only two option is a/ full format, flash erase on/off b/format size adjustment off
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kikikuku:
plz disregard above question, once the program complete fat32 will appear in notification. (i post that question while formatting my card !!!!)
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] marcmarshall:
I just tried a Nan restore. I had LauncherPro set as default before I ran the backup. After the restore my system booted into LP a lot was missing. I launched Sense and it also was messed up and gave the tip screen you get on initial out of the box startup.

I tried another backup with the same result. I finally used a third backup that was done before I installed LauncherPro and everthing was fine.

Can anyone explain this. Is there anyway to get my later backups back now?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] ximfinity:
Can you elaborate on what rom, kernel, and what was missing?

Also you should be able to do a backup which will create backup with the current date and time. This is so you can later restore to that point to fix potential errors.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] marcmarshall:
I backed up my stock rom with LP running as default over Sense.

I flashed to Virtuous 3.0.1 with adrynalyne kernel 2.6.32.15

I was missing my custom wallpaper and most home screen icons in LP. When I launched Sense same thing plus it acted like an initial out of the box install by showing me the pinch screen tip, etc.

I'm guessing but it seems that booting into LP on a sense rom caused the problem. As I said I went back to the previous backup, at which time I was also using LP and had the exact same result. When I went back to an even earlier backup, before installin LP, everything went fine.

I mentioned this on another post but then posted it as a new thread since it was off topic there and my post problem was resolved. I am told by another member that what I did is done commonly by others and the problem cannot be with the Nan backups. Can't think of another explanation though. Unlikely to get 2 corrupt nandroid backups, especially considering CW checks the md5.

When others restore to LP default has it been with Sense ROMs?

Just glad I had a lot of backups.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Phre@k:
Wow this sounds like dejavu lol exact same thing happened to me too with virtuous rom and launcher pro, I had 2 back-ups that were totally borked with the exact same problems you described, I thought it was only me seeing I was the only one that seemed to have this problem so I didn't report it. I saw my sd card was almost full and just assumed that was it.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] marcmarshall:
Well that's good to know. I'm still thinking it is flashing a Sense ROM and then not booting and loading Sense on initial startup. I don't know enough to know if this is reasonable, I'm just looking at the behavior. I can't think of another explanation.

I wonder if there is any way to get my later backups restored. Maybe something can be manually changed before boot up to put Sense back as default.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Issemann:
I've searched all over God's green earth and haven't found one answer :(

This issue is driving me crazy. :eek: I sometimes find that my Dinc likes to move the cursor when I'm typing a message and/or jump around from screen to screen all on its own. What's really interesting is that it's always moving to the left - either in a message or from screen to screen.

Logic says there's either some dirt on the optical trackball, or I've got a more serious issue on my hands. I've cleaned the trackball numerous times, but still no luck. :confused:

I have been flashing a number of ROMs lately (still searching for the right one). Is it possible that something got screwed up? I've even gone as far as going back to s-On and flashing a stock 2.2 ROM. Still no luck.

This leads me to believe it's probably a hardware problem. Whatever it is,

it's the most annoying thing I've ever experienced

!! Please HELP!!!!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MMBosstones86:
in my experience...clean the screen. Mine did it a few times jumping between screens and acting possessed.

Cleaned the screen with a cloth and got the oil off, alls good
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mihneagabriel:
Yes cleaning the screen will help but in my experience clean the optical sensor really well. I've had stuff on my optical sensor which caused ever phone to jump around when the light hits the sensor.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Issemann:
I've cleaned the screen (and the trackball) so well, you can eat off of it! LOL Trust me, it's not that. I'm down to my wits end. I think I might unroot, unrevoke and go back to stock so I can bring it back to Verizon for a new phone.

Thoughts? :confused:

[UPDATE]Oh well... Unrevoked, unrooted and went back to stock 2.2 and it's still happening!! Ughhh.... This is going back to Verizon today. If anyone has any other ideas before 5:00 pm EST, then please let me know. Thx!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ardax:
There's something wrong with your optical sensor. Exchange it with Verizon. Make sure you let them know that you've tried cleaning and factory reset, otherwise they'll make you do that first.

I had the same thing with my first Incredible. Did the above song and dance with VZW, got a new phone, no problems since.

No offense to the op, but i wish they gave an aptitude test before selling a smartphone. Or at least XDA should implement one before allowing registration?

But to answer your question, just reflash the rom, or another. the rom your using is pretty ancient anyways. Try virus or the new two point two rom. Either is excellent. If you want aosp, go cyan.

Alot of times when you flash a rom it takes a few minutes to initially boot up after you flash. Next time let it sit for like up to 7-10 minutes and see what happens. You might think its locked up or whatever, but its really building the cache and getting things ready for you.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agarciavalino:
Hello everyone,

This is my first time posting on this forum but have used it in the past to port Android on to my old HTC Touch HD, and having seen what you guys are able to do am really, really hoping you will be able to help me.

I recently got a HTC desire on a new contract. The phone is unbranded/unlocked as I got it through E2Save. The phone is the S-LCD version of the HTC Desire and came pre-loaded with Android 2.2. However 2 weeks ago I recieved a message informing me on an OTA update for my phone. I cant remember specifics but it seemed to be a small update and something to do with improving the layout of the Russian keyboard, multiple email account support and something else.

Well to cut a long story short this mini update has bricked (seen the term used on varying forums) my wifi.

I have seen in a forum about booting back to 2.1 but it said this could break the screen on the SLCD version of the desire. Please if you have any information that can help me fix this please let me know.

I dont want to have to send it to the HTC repair centre and wait 15 days for this to be resolved as I have just started work, have no spare phones and pretty much rely on this phone to get me through my long and busy london commute.

Fingers crossed someone can help and I look forward to hopefully being able to use wifi again.

Cheers

Adam
