[Hero CDMA General] EclipseTouchPro:
Well for some reason, at random times, when I press on my screen the notification bar will drop down. This gets annoying because It won't allow me to do anything. For example, if I were to bring up google and type something, each letter I try to type the notification bar will drop! ugh.. what could be causing this problem? is it the screen needed to be replace? any advice?

also I have to hold the phone in a upright angle in order for it to work properly. If I leave it,for example, flat on the table it won't really pick up anything I push. But as soon as I lift it up and tilt it, works fine.
[Hero CDMA General] rulyskull:
I kinda have the same prob but mine will type different letters then i push and will even take overat times but I think mine has to do with the bad seal I got cause I have one of the first model's
[Hero CDMA General] danaff37:
Screen covers often times will cause this. Happened to me every few days when I had one. And fyi, I'm a mechanic, not had a screen protector in months, and no scratches. This screen is pretty resilient.
[Hero CDMA General] EclipseTouchPro:
I too have the first model however is there a fix for this?
[Hero CDMA General] rulyskull:
Well it could be a lose connection for you with having to hold it a certain way
[Hero CDMA General] EclipseTouchPro:
know of a step by step how to fix it? but before I do anything like that, how can I tell if I'm still under the 1 year manufacture warranty, I got this phone from private seller at a low price.

[Hero CDMA General] killerxx2:
Mine did this over time eventually my touch screen just gave out and i had to go get a refurbished one
[Hero CDMA General] bwendt0227:
I am having the same issue with Sprint Hero CDMA. I tried clearing all factory settings, delvick cache, and anything else I could find to clear in recovery. I then used a RUU to clear it completely back to factory, still no luck. I noticed that what it is actually doing is for some reason it is sensing the touch only at the top. I figured this out while playing 'alchemy classic'. If i tried to touch any of the top icons, (for those that do not play it, these are in the same are of the notification bar) it wouldn't work. When it stopped letting me move the elements around, if i clicked anywhere below one of the top icons, it would select the icon above it, regardless of how far down on the screen I touched. I will be going to the sprint store to have them look at it, hopefully they will have decent news.
[Vibrant General] mattfmartin:
Yea I just got the Tmo Vibrant the other day and I can't get the usb tethering to work. I tried with the pda.net app that came with the phone and had no luck at all. This is a stock phone, it hasn't been rooted or anything. Can someone please tell me what I have to do to get this to work, or point me in the right direction. I been searching for the past 2 days and came up with nothing. I know about wifi hotspot but that looses connection on me after 5min. Im looking for straight usb tethering. Appreciate it.
[Vibrant General] Owenv:
you're in the USA on T-mobile, when you say wi fi tethering but you aren't rooted, what program are you using? Rooting should solve this problem, it is very quick and the instructions are in the sticky thread in this forum.

then install Rom Manager (in same thread as rooting)

then follow instructions here for the Mobile AP software that samsung wrote for the galaxy S.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=760243

as far as I know, this is the most versatile wi-fi tethering program since it doesn't create an ad-hoc network, it is true access point. be sure to use clockwork recovery (available in the rom manager app from the market) to install it since it is a .zip not .apk
[Vibrant General] mattfmartin:
I was using the wifi hotsoot on my hd2. That phone is gone now though. It would only hold a connection for a couple of secs though. Im not too sure I want to root my phone though. What I really want to know is, does your phone have to be rooted to be able to access usb tethering.
[Vibrant General] timsterzzz:
PDA.net does work fine on your non-rooted phone. Allow the computer side of the installation install the drivers and it will install the phone side too. I used it on my Samsung Moment before I got my Vibrant also. But the rooted path is a much better solution if you want to give it a try. Always plenty of people willing to help here if you have any questions.
[Vibrant General] mattfmartin:
Thank you guys for your suggestions. I appreciate it
[Vibrant General] mattfmartin:
Do you guys use pda.net or another program. Because correct me if I'm wrong don't you have to pay for pda.net?
[Vibrant General] dq13:
I use PDAnet and it is free, but for it to work, you have to install the software on the computer as well and the drivers for the phone. I love PDAnet because when you are browsing the internet on the computer and you get a text, the message will pop up on the screen of the PC and you can reply from there, no need to pick up the phone...
[Vibrant General] livinloud11:
I use easytether. It does the job but I'm not sure if you have to be rooted. I don't think you do.
[Vibrant General] tjhart85:
A friend uses PDANET on his MyTouch Slide since he doesn't want to root.

I do recommend the rooted method though.

I wirelessly tethered today (home internet went down) for ~1 hour on 3G and it was almost as fast as our internet normally is. Nothing special to install on the computer & it's always ready for you just in case you need it.

You can always unroot later if you don't like it, pretty simple.
[Vibrant General] mingkee:
All you need is either Behold II USB driver or having Samsung Kies installed and it's 100% free, or just change USB mode to Kies and plug it to Cradlepoint CTR-500 router and you're hooked.
[Vibrant General] cparekh:
I rooted and used mobile AP (see post 2). This has been, for me, the easiest and most reliable solution.
[Vibrant General] ronin4740:
I'm in the "I've rooted and am using the WiFi mobile Hotspot" application crowd. Honestly, the ability to have the phone become a mobile AP was 80% of the reason I rooted the phone.

My phone seems to continue to receive emails and txts while acting as an AP and while I' haven't tested it I wouldn't be surprised if it still received calls...

worth rooting for imho...
[Vibrant General] inverseflux:
Calls work as well.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
I will drop T-Mobile for the first carrier that has a non-locked down Android 2.2 phone with comparable specs to the Vibrant that doesn't remove the tethering app and/or charges an arm and a leg for tethering.

I think I'm going to start looking around.

Also, are these phones starting to sell more than they were before? I'm still waiting for a replacement on backorder and it still hasn't even shipped to me yet. It's been a week. Last one shipped the next day (off backorder).

If I have to use this HD2 for another week, I'm killing 8 kittens.

[Vibrant General] anthonys2r:
is there a way to tether without rooting? i read the thread and i am getting mixed responses. everyone says rooting is better but is it possible without a root?
[Vibrant General] anthonys2r:
bump, any information i search on google seems outdated :(
[Vibrant General] mattfmartin:
Xda search is like ten times worse.
[Vibrant General] bcmatteagles:
Kies for usb tether is an easy solution free and doesn't require root access - just look for the various ways to download kies and look for the USB drivers that should be searchable.

I've been using android-wifi-tether (requires root) for wifi tether and it does a good job - might have to check out mobileAP since most seem to have good success with it.
[Vibrant General] mattfmartin:
Appreciate it
[Vibrant General] chui101:
Does installing wifi tether disable Kies/USB tethering? I noticed after I installed it that the Android USB Modem device would not respond in Device Manager anymore when I queried the modem, and I couldn't establish a connection through Kies or Windows DUN.
[Vibrant General] mattfmartin:
Does kies have there own website or is it an app that originally got ripped from a samsung galaxy?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tempott:
I am on Bell Mobility (Vibrant) here in Canada. I noticed Rogers will have the Galaxy S (Captivate) mid October and has officially stated “expect an update to OS 2.2 to be available early 2011.″ So anyone know if this would be Rogers dictating the release date or is it Samsung? Also, if Froyo is released early 2011 with Rogers' Captivate, would that most likely mean the same date for all Galaxy S devices in Canada?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ca7846:
While samsung release firmware,

carrier has to approve whether user can upgrade it or not.

Thus firmware can be out but if bell, your carrier, does not approve it,

You will never get official update.

This is particularly annoying because canada is usually slow.....

[Captivate General] rajendra82:
If you had rooted, you could have installed ROM manager prior to the botched update, and would have had a nandroid backup. If you had one, then you could have restored the system to the pre update stage, and tried applying the update again. Probably the only way to get rid of crap like this at this point is to do an Odin one click flash. If you plan on going down that route, just flash the leaked Froyo on, and be done with the constant congratulations from Samsung.

So I know that Skype was just added to the public market, but this reminded me that I tried to use the Verizon-only version of Skype before (which lets you use it over the towers, not just on WiFi). When I loaded it up on my phone, which had a Froyo ROM on it (can't remember which it was at the time), it gave me an error. Similar errors occurred when I tried to load the My Verizon app (I believe the specific error that time was "Cannot verify phone number" or something like that). Is there any way around these issues, or do you have to stick to the stock ROM (or maybe just something based on the stock ROM) for these apps to work?

[Streak 5 Android Development] spences10:
It's the DELL RSS Widget I think, and I think you can disable it via one of the build.prob constants

Not sure about safe to delete it or not 0_o if you have RootExplorer installed then I suppose you could back it up then remove it see if the system goes a bit pear shaped and replace if needed.

Care to give more info? Did you modify build.prop? What was the line you changed? Or did you remove the apk from the system apps?
