To add some fuel to the fire of my tale...

T-Mo's incompetence really is something to admire from afar. So, not only will my replacement G2 "...arrive by the end of the week*...hopefully" (the rep actually said that, in a doubting tone), but the stupid apes running the phones put down the wrong email and shipping addresses!

:eek::eek::eek:

****ing bloody brilliant! Get more!

Upon noticing this, I called in to rectify the situation. Also, I have a vested interest in receiving the ****ing phone I paid for. The first person I talked to changed my email address, upon my request. Great, problem solved! EIP email came through. Well, two of them came through. Strange. I was escalated to some random department, and I mentioned that my email still showed up as being incorrect. The rep seemed shocked and suggested that we change it.

"Oh, goodness, you're right! We'd better change that to the correct address! No wonder your phone didn't ship yet." -Rep

"I just changed this with the last person. Like, literally, thirty seconds ago. I just did this. Just did...exactly...this -- what we are doing now. Can we make this stop? Does it revert back, every time? It couldn't possibly..."

"Yes, it reverts back." -Rep

"Why? Why would it ever do that?"

"That's just the way it is. Once it's entered into the page, it can't be changed. To be honest, that's just T-Mobile." -Rep

"Are you...are you ****ting me?"

"No. It can't be changed once it's entered in." -Rep

"So, every time I have to call you guys, I have to say, 'Right, my email isn't correct because the first person to enter it into the system screwed it up with a typo -- mind givin' it a fix?' I have to fix this myself, every time? Every time?"

"No, the rep should confirm the email with you every time, so you shouldn't have to worry about remembering to mention it." -Rep

"They didn't last time."

"..." -Rep

"..."

"Right, well, it's correct for this form, and that's all that matters. Can I help you with anything else today?" -Rep

"Nope. Doesn't look that way. Cheers."

Patience...dwindling... :mad:

Hinge issue: there's no springs. None. it's all gravity based. thats why the hinge acts the way it does.

The hinge is cast metal, and the screen is heavy... theres no springs to hold it in place.

at least that is what we were told... as part of the official 'reason the screen seems loose' debacle.
[G2 and Desire Z General] :
I think we found where HTC got the idea to revert /system/ on the G2!
[G2 and Desire Z General] Clackamas:
Actually, linux can recognize partitions larger than 2GB as evidenced by its using the included 8GB sd card.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jonnybueno:
Can you share where you got that information? ive been searching for some kind of official statement to no avail. im not bothered by the way the hinge works, just concerned about durability.
[G2 and Desire Z General] chicotunner07:
Bought my G2 on the 6th from local Tmobile store, ive never held another one, but mine is pretty solid, pops open and closed, i have to physically push it to open or close

and yes, internal memory states 1.xx GB of memory if it matters

I made a video on my photobucket, but cant post a link because im a new member, any help on posting the video?

thanks
[G2 and Desire Z General] TheManCityLife:
Check out my vid I just made about that issue
[G2 and Desire Z General] fryrice8850:
I too suffer from this loose hinge and 1.21GB of internal storage.

I work for tmobile and i had a couple customer come back returning their G2 (not because of those issues) but because they do not get 3G/HSPA+ at their homes. So I would try those batch and see if they have the loose hinge and try holding the phone upside down and it was not as loose as mine. The returned G2 only sag a little as mine just sag more than theirs.

I will try to get a vid of this...our store demo is very loose as well like mine. I preordered my G2 and our store batch was received later like on Friday oct. 1

I am going to call them and see if they can give me a replacement G2...and when I want a replacement i don't want some used one...i want a brand new one in box. Not sure if they would do that.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Jon C:
I'll be returning my (second) G2 for this reason. That, and for the cluster of lit pixels and seemingly defective trackpad. :(

What a shame. This is my second big T-Mo phone that seems to be plagued with issues that are easily caught in basic QA.

If I could get a G2 with a solid hinge, I would probably be happy for two years. I really hope I can get ahold of one, after mailing this one back.
[G2 and Desire Z General] robrob777:
Returned

I returned my dear G2. the 1.5 gb issue is not a matter for me. the Loose hinge is. I had just 4 days with the phone and the symptoms were getting worst, sometimes when I was picking the phone from the desk and it wanted to open. I wanted to keep the phone for 2+ years but I don't trust the hinge.

So I decided to return the phone and I'll probably buy it after some months when HTC solves the issue. for now...returning back to my enemy... the HTC HD2.

Best regards and see you later I gotta fight with the HD2.

-Ex G2 owner.

P.S. re-stocking fee $10. Tmo store- Lynwood WA.
[G2 and Desire Z General] androidfeen809:
Wow I though I was the only one that though about that yes guys magnets is the answer, even if springs get loose over time magnet will not, I emailed htc about this telling them it would great if they used magnets instead smh I got the slightly loose hinge g2 it isn't that loose as the youtube video g2 but its still loose I went to a tmo store and they told me to bring my receipt and the box with everything it came with for a replacement which I'm doing tomorrow and they charging me 10 dollars for restockin and I was like wtf why do I gotta pay for your mistake, why can't they charge htc for the restocking fee?
[G2 and Desire Z General] userfriendlyme:
well my hinge is loose so add me to the list i have a replacement which came today so hopefully that will be solid not home yet to test it. i did not have a problem turning the phone upside down or anything my problem with the loose hinge occured when i brought a case from the tmobile store. I purchased there body glove snap on case and with the case on it created enough weight to slide my screen down everytime i placed the phone on my hip. Very annoying not to mention the memory space issue.
[G2 and Desire Z General] androidfeen809:
Tmo workers are so full of it, I walk in the store and tell them if they could exchange my phone bcuz of the hinges mines are slightly loose they tell me its 10 for restockin ok than the other one tells me all g2 are coming like that and that's no defect and I'm like well my friend doesn't have loose hinges and they reply he is probably a lucky one, didn't they just said they all come with loose hinges? Wtf any way I walk out to get my 10 dollars and heading to another tmo store I swear ill make them look for 10 boxes if possible they better give me my strong hinges that I paid for!!!! Tmo better stop sellin the g2 until htc bring in the good ones and send the old ones bak!!! Smh
[G2 and Desire Z General] androidfeen809:
Please let me know if the replacement phone your gettin got no loose hinges, and yea the memory issue is another pain tmo really screw up big time on the G2 imagine how much more sales on the g2 would've happen if it wasn't for these issues it gave ppl very bad impression the device is the best device so far on processor speed and everything only thing is missing is the ffc to b perfect but idc about that, and they should've explain the processor capabilities too cuz ppl saw 800mhz as inferior wen it beat the hummingbird processor at 1ghz being 800mhz lol samsung processor is very slow for somethings and even on gaming this processor was faster than the galaxy s vibrant I saw the video its amazing now the only thing vibrant had on the g2 was the screen it looked better on vibrant but vibrant was very slow wen yu think about it 800mhz vs 1ghz
[G2 and Desire Z General] fryrice8850:
the $10 restocking fee is a standard now for all stores. unless that rep has the phone (like me) they will know nothing about these issues and only follow procedure that is displayed for them on the internal support page (streamline).

im in the process of getting my exchanged out. For us employees is more of a hassle cuz they have to submit a ticket for us then get approved. Once approved i have to ship my phone to Colorado and wait about probably a week for them to determine the issue. (i told them i get a lot of random reboots) so they can send me a new phone.

looks like i have to go back to the good ol bb 9700.
[G2 and Desire Z General] androidfeen809:
Please post the video on youtube and give us the link, my hinges are slightly loose not as loose as the youtube video ones but very slightly it won't open wen hang upside down
[G2 and Desire Z General] androidfeen809:
Actually I got the replacement today but they didn't charge me which is weird but I'm not complainin about that lol was for my benefit save 10 dollars
[G2 and Desire Z General] Woormy:
Does your replacement have a locking hinge or loose?
[G2 and Desire Z General] zeeklancer:
lol, you would have to have a HUGE pocket. and it would have to float in the space between your pocket.
[G2 and Desire Z General] robrob777:
Probably using sports pants and running with the phone in the pocket.

beautiful man. so we just flash this correct and then flash said kernel?
[Vibrant Android Development] Daddy_617:
Hey pretty cool thanks eugene I'll have to save this for later though
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
This is not Flash-able, these are just file's you need if you want to include Jac's kernel..

I'm Posting a Fully Stock JI5 with Jac's Stock / OC / UV kernel Tonight!

Totally on board, will flash it when its ready :) Thanks for all your work Eugene

Bluetooth issues

eugene373, I apologize for bringing this up again, but I have JAC's kernel working on stock JI6 utilizing the libs and binarys you posted here. I am however, having the same issues with bluetooth not starting properly. Is there any way I could get you to explain what the fix involves? Again I apologize for the inconvenience and thanks again for all of your hard work.
[Vibrant Android Development] slighpcs:
Nevermind, I have bluetooth working, and it was a very simple fix... turns out it was the related to btld, replaced the file with Frankin-Final and all is well. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
Yes, that why I had updated my post when I released update 4 of ft Rom.
[Vibrant Android Development] blinksilver:
Anyone feeling generous? Prehaps we could repackage this into a flashable CWM zip. I wouldn't mind a stock JI6 with JAC's kernel (or the new voodoo one when it finally drops).

It would make the whole "hey look a new leak, lets flash it" process a bit more friendly.
[Vibrant Android Development] javacody:
I agree. This would be awesome as an update.zip so we could use JACs kernels!
[Vibrant Android Development] slighpcs:
Old Kernel Support packaged for the good people

*I will not be held responsible for any damages, so proceed at your own risk.

I have packaged this up for all who are interested... it can be found here, rather here. If you do not have ClockWork installed, just rename to update.zip and install through Samsung recovery as usual. I couldn't get the update.zip method to work, although I only experimented once.

And here, rather here is JAC's kernel (Vibrant OC/UV V1.1 CWM Recovery) along with the Old kernel back-ported files.

And here is JAC's kernel (Voodoo OC/UV Beta4 CWM Recovery V1.1). *I have not tested this kernel due to having the larger NAND.

KingClick's CFS Kernel #3.

Kernel Backport Uninstall (Replaces the Backport files with JI6 lib/system originals.)

Stock JI6 kernel with Backport removed (Replaces the Backport files with JI6 lib/system originals as well as flashes the stock JI6 kernel.)

Good work.
[Vibrant Android Development] javacody:
Welp, I asked for it, so I guess it's only fair that I be the guinea pig...

Flashing shortly...

EDIT.

Flashed the second link and phone has booted up successfully.

Gonna try overclocking next.

slighpcs, I owe you!

EDIT 2.

Overclocked to 1200 with OverClockWidget. Rockin!

couldn't get voodoo kernel working with the back support files. anyone else have any luck with voodoo? also if i manually move the files, do permissions also need to be set?
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
not sure why not, unless you have a Bigger Nand which is a known issue..

People have the Voodoo working on my Rom when I first Posted the Back support.
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
Not sure why you Posting Tests? I made sure it was working 100% before I posted the Mod for Supporting older Kernels on the New build.
[Vibrant Android Development] slighpcs:
I don't believe you'll have any problems manually moving the files... I don't use voodoo as my Nand chip is of the larger size. You may want to verify yours with the info here.
[Vibrant Android Development] slighpcs:
I am curious as to what has changed in the new upload... is it the single file change that many of us asked for and never received an answer to? :rolleyes: Sorry to flame you, but I feel that this could have been resolved in a more time efficient manor.
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
Timely Manner? Why can't you or anyone else do a bit of work?

Just because I didn't have time, and busy doing other stuff? okay then, lmao! Flame away :rolleyes:

When you say Upload, what new Upload? I just edited the list as to want needed to be included..

I posted the Fix on the 1st of this month, but timely Manner, well I guess it's my Fault no one reads.

hence the reason the op is ( Last edited by eugene373; 1st October 2010 at 04:11 PM.. )
[Vibrant Android Development] javacody:
Was testing it as a flashable update via recovery. Did you already have the zip in that format?
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
No, sorry I wasn't sure if you said the list was working when I knew it work... Thanks for clarifying you was testing the update.zip as I missed that part.
[Vibrant Android Development] javacody:
No worries. :p

Thanks to you, too Eugene for figuring this stuff out. It's very cool that we have a smart quy like you who understands this stuff so well helping us all out.
[Vibrant Android Development] slighpcs:
I'm referring to the bluetooth fix, by the way.

Busy???

All that needed to be said was: "File btld needs to be updated". I find it funny that you had time to post back that you probably wouldn't have time to delve into it, yet the fix was so simple. And if I do recall correctly, I happened to do the work myself to figure out the fix... I haven't seen any posts from yourself with the fix, and believe you me, I searched up and down.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate your work, but I also have no patience for those who withhold information that could benefit the community.
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
Look at the first Post... If you would have included those file it would have fixed it 4 days ago...

You do realize I don't owe you a damn thing!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
LMFAO he doesn't have to give u jack ****!

now unless you had a contract that states that you will pay him to give you information, then I have no patience for you sir.

:p
[Vibrant Android Development] slighpcs:
I suppose that I may have come off a bit harsh... I am also aware that nobody owes anybody anything on these forums as I enjoy helping others myself. I apologize to any I have offended as I was only speaking my mind.
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
No we're cool. I speak my mind all the time, so no hard feeling.

[Vibrant Android Development] xxwhitehawk:
Thank you Eugene for providing the files and Slighpcs for idiot proofing it for me with a cwm zip. I odin'd the official JI6 but felt sad about not being able to OC. Now I'm a happy. :D
[Vibrant Android Development] anomalous3:
There's HUGE differences in these files between the old versions and the new versions, I'm thinking that maybe they updated some of them for a good reason. Still, with the new source out......
[Vibrant Android Development] austindkelly:
So in theory, I should be able to reboot into clockworkmod recovery and update using the "(Vibrant OC/UV V1.1 CWM Recovery) along with the Old kernel back-ported files." that is linked here, and not need to load the back support files first?

UPDATE: I was able to use posted kernel on this thread flawlessly. So far I can tell it is faster response, and seems a bit stabler. Still waiting to see how well it affects my battery power. THANKS!

Just wanted to say huge thanks to slighpcs (and, obviously, eugene which goes without saying :-), for his excellent flashable zips and links. Most useful! Saved me so much time when i had to go back to ji6 from a custom kernel.
[Vibrant Android Development] jellette:
I have a question for all. I went back to JI6 because I need extreme gps accuracy - if I flash back support am I going to lose the better gps fixes or does this just add the necessary files and leave JI6 alone? Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] c130pilot:
I've tried flashing just the back support CWM and the version that contains the back support plus JAC's 1.1 non voodoo kernel and every time I get stuck at the vibrant screen and have to go back to ODIN to recover using the stock JI6 kernel (which is what I'm on).

Any idea why I can't even seem to get the back support to install without locking up at the Vibrant screen?

Thanks,

Tim
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
how long are you stuck on the Vibrant screen....

sometimes these things take 10-15 minutes

;)
[Vibrant Android Development] c130pilot:
I'm stuck on it indefinitely. I can always tell when it's not going to work when I get the T-Mobile bootup sound without the T-mobile boot animation. Then it just sits there on the Vibrant screen until I pull the batt or hold the power button.

Im new to this so I need some help on how to install this. but, first is this the fix to the t-mobile froyo
[Vibrant Android Development] ad3qz:
Hi, eugene..

sorry for posting this noob question. i'm newbie with this.

i had a t-mobile vibrant with t959uvkb1 baseband, bionix 1.3.1 rom, and overstock kernel. last night i accidentally flashed cwm v3.0.2.8 kernel, and my vibrant went in bootloop. couldn't even flash it back to bionix or overstock.

then i found kb1.tar and 512.pit files and i used those files with odin. now my vibrant stuck in stock recovery.

i searched the thread and found someone's post about your froyo that doesn't brick.

i came to this thread then, and saw your kernel.

can it be used for my stuck vibrant? because i need to get out from this recovery mode.

thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] |Melvin|:
You can use his froyo thay does not brick to recover and odin, there are instructions on how to do it
