[G2 and Desire Z General] nashwing:
My stupid "Cliq" worked fine.

The screen is green, and pushing the bluetooth icon does nothing... even tried going to speaker (sound comes out speaker), then switch back to bluetooth (which does show blue on the icon itself) and the sound is then switchhed back to just through the phone...

I'm not happy with this and these:

1) The speaker phone blows nuts

2) The camera blows nuts (as well as the sound)

3) The floppy-ass hinge is a poor design.

Other than that, man this is a freakin' fantastic phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] imblacklife:
Go to

Settings > Wireless & Network > Bluetooth Settings

Under Bluetooth devices does your device (car) show up as

Connected to phone audio??
[G2 and Desire Z General] nashwing:
Yes, it does. Also, incoming calls work fine, just outgoing is the problem.
[G2 and Desire Z General] imblacklife:
Hmm thats weird...I guess now we just wait for a root and see what happens
[G2 and Desire Z General] nashwing:
It's going back to t-mo... I'm not getting fooled again - I was a Cliq owner.
[Wildfire General] DauchoT:
Hi,

I'm planning to buy a new phone => HTC Wildfire

At work we use Cisco VPN to connect to internet.

Can the wildfire connect to cisco VPN?

I need wildpuzzle, tun.ko, VPN connections package...?

What do I need and where do I get it?

I apreciate some help.

Thanks
[Wildfire General] ErwinP:
Hello!

I've heard that a app called "VPN Connections" can establish a vpn connection with a cisco vpn client. The only problem is that you must install this app on a rooted device..

I haven't tried it myself (altough my univercity uses the cisco client as well), so don't blame me if it doesn't work!

But I'm sure that there is no app for android that can set up the connection with the cisco vpn connection without the need to root your device. Its the only real handicap of android, from my opinion!

Greetings,

Erwin
[Wildfire General] GuestK00293:
Better late than never! I tried "VPN Connections" on CM 6.1 on Wildfire (buzz) and confirm it works. Though I could not find the 'tun.ko' find when I did a "find -iname tun.ko" from "/" on my phone, this app worked (for me).
[Vibrant General] likingandroid:
Wow no lag on the G2. Its so nice to select a button and the screen respond instantly with no lag. GPS locks even in my basement, something which the vibrant couldn't do.

But, (yes there's a but) I'm not sure I like the keyboard and because the screen is smaller, its harder to type on the touchscreen so I'm gonna have to play with this for a few days.

I love the responsiveness of the G2. So much smoother than the vibrant. I do miss the screen and the super light form factor if the vibrant. Kind of miss the SAMOLED screen too.

Samsung please tell me when Froyo will be released to the vibrant?
[Vibrant General] PaiPiePia:
I will give these to the G2:

-Keyboard is great especially for emulator

-Preloaded Froyo 2.2 means no wait, no uncertainty

-HTC is a great company and has been in the game longer, making high quality hardware.

-HSPA+

What I will miss on my Vibrant is I switch to a G2:

-Native avi, mkv and various other audio/video format support (my biggest selling point).

-AMOLE screen (you should see this coming after point one)

-The more powerful GPU for emulator

-Believe it or not TouchWiz (it really makes life easier in some aspect)

I think both phones caters to a different market, but G2 just seems "developer", it is a GREAT phone, don't get me wrong but it is just very plain in terms of look and specification. It does what every other android phone does but faster because of newer internals. (Vibrant at least brings in container/format support listed above).

A newer handset with newer CPU and GPU is not really considered as a feature because as time pass better hardware means better handset internals, it is inevitable.
[Vibrant General] MMcCraryNJ:
The g2 has a chip which reinstalls stock firmware when it senses the firmware has been tampered with. BIG downfall IMO

wah wah wah
[Vibrant General] Master™:
My exact thought! Did I NOT say that the G2 would fail!? ahahha people arent going to to like not being able to use custom ROM's etc :D

So that G2 you bought? It's not yours. It's HTC and T-Mobile's. You're just borrowing it, and the terms of the loan are entirely non-negotiable.
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
they'll eventually get root for the G2.

That said, with the correct file systems, the Vibrant would tear apart the G2. The Hummingbird is a superior architecture, the GPU is better, the screen is bigger and better, the form factor is thinner and lighter.

But if I thought HSPA+ was going to make a difference, or if I wanted a keyboard, the G2 would win me over. It's a nice feeling phone, and stock Android is always a plus.
[Vibrant General] demo23019:
Anyone know if the Desire Z is locked down also?

pretty much this especially since is an HTC phone
[Vibrant General] Orite:
The feature that I miss the most from my vibrant is the out of the box ability to play my flac files.

But I think my choice to switch will be a worth wild one.
[Vibrant General] Neubian_Steel:
I Agree 100%, Vibrant is the best T mobile Android, Samsung outdid everyone on this phone!
[Vibrant General] Kienz:
Perhaps you all could help me out with something. I got a G2, and was seriously considering selling my Vibrant. But, in order to give the decision its due diligence, I'd like to see what the Vibrant is like on a custom rom. I have it rooted, with RyanZa's lagifix from the market installed, and was wondering which of the current roms would be best to try out, in order to best evaluate the "pick me" quality of the Vibrant? I'd prefer not to have to wipe everything, if possible. But I'm amenable to, if need be. Thanks, in advance, for your input. I'd certainly appreciate it.
[Vibrant General] scrizz:
LOL, you are going to have to wipe in order to use the best roms

;)
[Vibrant General] Kienz:
Which would you suggest, based on your experience with them?
[Vibrant General] hukkguai:
Try Eugene's Frankin-Twiz Rom. The thing flies with JAC's OC/UV Kernal.
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
I've tried Franken T-Wiz, and Bionix. I can definitely suggest Bionix. Very quick. Very stable. MUCH better than stock.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
With JI6 much of everything is responsive
[Vibrant General] Kienz:
I appreciate the input. Just to make sure I'm good to go...

I have the RyanZa lagfix installed. Do I/Should I use th e"undo lagfix" option before attempting to flash this rom?

I see that ity wipes automatically. Does that mean it wipes my internal memory card, i.e. any nandroid I backup would be deleted as well? Or is it just like a factory reset, whereby I would just need to restore my contacts, apps, etc.

Again, thank you for your input. It's very helpful.
[Vibrant General] natecglenn:
Ok i just got my G2 but i have played with it all night. Here is my review....

G2 -- Pros

-Fast(Yes it seems a little zippier than the vibrant)

-Keyboard

-Camera quality is good with flash

-In call quality is great

-2.2

-HSPA+

G2 --Cons

-Hinges are a real problem even though plenty of people on the G2 forums say that it was designed that way. They are just fanboys. I have had a touch pro2 which tilt and it tilted fine for months. It wont slide out if you sit rightside up but laying down on you back which i tend to do alot at night is a no can do.

-Video recording is so choppy no match for the vibrant

-Camera quality without flash is like 3mp to me

-Internal space not 4GB

-sdcard not hot swappable

-Battery life sucks(i hear its a random issue)

-Terrible! I mean Horrible! Torpid speaker on this phone!

Vibrant --Pros

-5mp camera with great quality

-video quality is superb

-fast(atleast for me im on stock with no lag unlike some users)

-16gb internal

-Audio & Video codecs

-4 inch screen SAMOLED

-Light

-A free hd quality movie

-Great speaker quality

-Touchwiz(Some may disagree but it makes life easier in alot of instances ie: music controls on locksreen, call end, speaker buttons in notification bar, wifi toggle in bar,facebook & twitter integration, daily brief)

Vibrant --Cons

-Phone quality sometime bad

-gps

-No 2.2

Now some may disagree but this is how i compare the two. When the vibrant gets 2.2 i have to say it will be much better and will kill the g2 in benchmarks. For now i think ill give the g2 back to tmobile and keep my vibrant cause a keyboard & HSPA+(isnt everywhere so its barely useless) arent enough to make me switch.
[Vibrant General] NoDataFound:
This was really helpful. I was on the fence about paying for a G2 coming from a Vibrant, but you may have helped my decision. The lack of hard keyboard is my only issue with the Vibrant. I just about loathe typing on it. I need a button press.

However, all the pros about the vibrant are the real reason i bought thia phone. I dont care about benchmarks, its not like these devices are gaming pc's. Its a rediculous thing to measure in a phone.

Ill keep my Vibrant for now, $499 for a G2 just to get a keyboard simply isnt worth it.
[Vibrant General] smashpunks:
Wait for some deals on it and get it as a backup.... I may do this...
[Vibrant General] natecglenn:
Yea benchmarks are only good to measure. It won't make a big difference in day to day use unless you have g1 vs a vibrant. Plus I only use the hardware keyboard when texting a lot. Other than that you will 90% use the screen
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
Did HTC along with TMO shot themselves in the foot with G2?

Wasn't it supposed to be a successor developer phone to Nexus One????

How can you develop on it when you can't change OS internals???
[Vibrant General] bert269:
Glad I did not waited two weeks for the G2!

First time in my life I feel 'lucky'!
[Vibrant General] natecglenn:
I honestly don't think so. That was just a bunch of bs to get people to buy it. I think Google has something up their sleeve that they will sell on major carriers instead if just their website.
[Vibrant General] cozmo5050:
I had the opportunity to use the Vibrant/G2/Captivate on a day-to-day basis for over a week with each. Vibrant/captivates were rooted, one-click lag fix, etc.

In the end, I personally preferred the Vibrant over the other two.

The G2 is a very nice phone -- snappy performance, good battery life, solid metal construction, Froyo, comfortable keyboard, etc, etc. You could say the G2 looks and feels more high-end at first glance. To my eyes, it's basically a nexus one v2.0 with a slide out keyboard.

With the advances in touchscreen technology, having a keyboard makes it seem a bit redundant. Yes, the mechanism is elegant and well designed, but with more moving parts, more things can go wrong. I also found myself making a conscious effort to slide out and use the physical keyboard rather than just touching the screen quickly. Yes, metal is usually sturdier and more durable than plastic, but the vibrant is hardly fragile. If the phone ever does get scratched, you can replace the entire one-piece back cover with ease. The G2 also weighs twice as much and is twice as thick as the vibrant.

The other disadvantage was multimedia in comparison to the vibrant. Movies that played smoothly on the samsung now looked slightly jittery and washed out on the G2. When comparing a 4" Super-amoled vs. 3.7" amoled/SLCD, it's obvious which is going to win.

The other thing was the audio. The vibrant was very impressive talking and playing music thru the speakerphone. Having virtual 5.1channel sound was also a bonus. The G2 sounded very shrill and metallic.

What the vibrant sucked at was the cellular signal/reception. In places where I get 1 bar with my vibrant, the G2 has 4 bars. GPS on the vibrant also sucked, but new firmwares and updates are out.

The captivate is basically a vibrant with more metal parts and is less comfortable to hold.

Both are great phones, but if i had to grade, it would be like comparing an A to an A-. It felt like the vibrant was revolutionary while the G2 was an evolutionary change... Overall, the specs and features on the galaxy S phones just kills the G2. Better specs and more space in a featherlight package... think I can wait for froyo a little longer. In the meantime, Eclair's not that bad... :p

Again, my opinion is based on comparing the G2 to the vibrant. I hope this helps.
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
I'm actually surprised to see this. From what I've been reading in the G2 forums from former Vibrant owners, they were loving the better battery of the G2, but said that the reception on the G2 is leaps and bounds worse than the Vibrant with the newer (more accurate) radios.

So where the vibrant would show 1 or 0 bars, but would retain a call, the G2 will actually drop the call.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
Reception is excellent with the Vibrant, if you're on JFD you have no way to make that statement. You're going by bars which can mean next to nothing (and most certainly do mean next to nothing with the Vibrant on firmware JFD).

You should update to JI6.
[Vibrant General] Mftek1:
i would have to disagree with your pros and cons. I currently own both phones.

G2 pros:

-solid all around phone, feels very nice in the hand!

-very responsive.

-no lag what so ever.

-gps locks all the time.

-4 finger touch screen.

-will get ota updates.

-battery life is amazing compared to vibrant!

-new chip set.

-temp root, but perm. Root will come.

-already received an ota update.

-keyboard, your choice?

-hspa+

-vanilla double scoop!

-flash

-adobe flash 10.1

vibrant pros:

-amoled screen.

-1ghz hummingbird processor.

-great for gaming.

-very loud speaker.

-16gb internal storage.

Im selling my vibrant and keeping my g2. The performance of the g2's 800 mhz processor is amazing! I mean its not even over clocked yet and its insanely fast. The only thing i really liked about the vibrant was the screen. I have already received an ota update on the g2 which enabled wifi calling and wifi tethering. (without root) lol. To the people stating that the hinges are loose and defective: "hold your phone properly!" the only time the hinge seems loose is if you hold your phone upside down.. Lol.

In my eyes g2>vibrant. I was in love with my vibrant, rooted, custom rom, lag fix, gps fix. I was iffy about getting the g2, but i am damn glad i did. Good bye vibby.

There I removed some duplicate entries and rearrange listing that applies to both phones.
[Vibrant General] ELStiko:
How is the bolded text a pro? It is like saying the Vibrant not yet on froyo, but will be soon as a pro..
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
Huh? So is the Vibrant. Actually, based upon me playing around with greenrobot's MultiTouch Test, the Vibrant is 5-finger touch. How is that a pro?

That's because of JIT and ext3. Not the processor. In fact, the processor on the G2, even when clocked to 1ghz, still is inferior to the Vibrant.

No you haven't.

http://www.phonescoop.com/news/item.php?n=6794

Sounds like Apple's iPhone4 solution.

Interesting.

glad you like the G2, I truly am. As long as you're in the Android camp, it's all good ;-). But let's keep the facts straight.
[Vibrant General] Mftek1:
It is a pro because even tho its temp. root, it is an on going temp root.

For example: Temp. root goes away after every reboot. (which i dont turn my phone off daily). So.. once your phone has been fully rebooted you simply do 3 clicks and its rooted again. (no typing, no adb pushing, just 3 clicks).

Cyanogen rom already enabled.
[Vibrant General] moSess:
Thats what she said...
[Vibrant General] PaiPiePia:
That makes like no sense at all. It is a pro that your have to click for it get root oppose of just having it?! Common sense is like a fing accessory or something, completelt optional for some ppl.
[Vibrant General] ELStiko:
You are trying too hard to make it a pro. Not trying to say it is not a great phone, but if you have to re-root everytime you reboot, that makes it an incomplete function. If you have to justify a pro because it doesnt work right, doesn't make it much of a pro to me.
[Vibrant General] TheSneakerWhore:
Had to..."YOU"RE HOLDING IT WRONG!!!!!!!11!!!!1eleventy".
[Vibrant General] cozmo5050:
yeap, that's the next step
[Vibrant General] Mftek1:
i have received the OTA, as well as other G2 owners. Pictures have been posted in the G2 forum
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
That's not a pro, that's a temporary workaround. The Vibrant can stay rooted after a reboot--that's a pro.

In any case, I find it kind of silly to compare these phones since they're very different. You don't buy a Vibrant if you need a hardware keyboard, and you don't buy a G2 if you want the best screen.
[Vibrant General] oka1:
Tried the G2

My comments are The G2 is smooth BUT, it is smaller, the unit op speed is actually slower, My friend and realized it is less user friendly to us techno-geeks (most of the XDA ppl). That said, after owning 8 smart-phones.... I think all the phone manufacturers have the ability to build a great phone but, it seems like they always make some shortcoming so you will get frustrated with the phone and then you buy their newer one. That is my take on it
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
I don't doubt you received "an" OTA update.

I'm saying that you don't have wifi calling.
[Vibrant General] scrizz:
well If he's gonna say he has root,

I'm gonna say i have froyo on my Vibrant!

which i do :p
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suppliesidejesus:
Hi all, have a question for ya.

I'd like to know how I go about returning the system font back to stock. I installed a theme over KaosFroyo that I really like (BlackMod from the Heroc forum, it's friggen sweet) but the theme changes the font to something taller and thinner, which is a little more difficult to read on our tiny screens.

So, can anyone throw me a bone here?

Thanks,

SSJ

Type Fresh is what you need sir. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=6103587

I'm using it to run a cool looking font called SF Gothican on my Droid, but have previously used this app on the Eris as well. Really easy to use. Just download it from the Market (it's free - and you will also need AndExplorer, free as well), open, give Root access, back up fonts, put a ".ttf" file of your choice on your SD card in the folder named Fonts and then tap on the DroidSans and DroidSans-Bold fonts in the app, it will allow AndExplorer to browse your Font folder, and just pick the one you want. Hit your soft Menu key and choose apply fonts, reboot, and enjoy. Hope this helps...
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suppliesidejesus:
This didn't work YET, however I don't think I can get the fonts back to stock until I wipe and ROM again, backup the stock fonts, then flash the theme and replace the fonts with stock. I'll update you and let you know if that works.

Thanks!

UPDATE: Got it. Wiped and reflashed, backed up the stock fonts, flashed the theme, restored the stock fonts from backup. Thanks a lot, dude!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitsuu84:
Hello. Sorry for my bad English. I use rom Froyo biffmod v2.01 and I want to ask. This ROM applications stored on the external cache dalvik 4 is so and so does not diminish my phone memory. The 105 applications installed in my phone memory still around 85 MB free. And the question is, is it even something like eclair rom? There I had the same number of applications and the same applications on the phone about 10 megabytes free because of large applications (IGO, copilot), a large part installed into phone memory. I tried the search but unsuccessfully. Thanks for the advice:)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tehpriest:
Just got another update. I was on kies 1.5.3.10093-80 so I am not sure yet what this one is.

Edit: kies 1.5.3.10093-81
[Galaxy S I9000 General] psp888:
I'm on 1.5.3.10093-80 and have no update.

Maybe Froyo is actually ready, but it's kies which is holding up the release...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tehpriest:
Have you done a manual check for update in the Kies menu (not the widgets at the bottom) ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] psp888:
it's come up now

next thing samsung should do is fix their horrible kies software... it hasnt been detecting my device at all after the last update. ugh

I have lag fix. Can I update it even my lag fix is still in my phone? Or I should not?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hanhav:
You dont need phone connected if you update Kies.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chrisjwild:
It's more than likely to be a small fix that fixes the registy key error on the previous version ending in 80.

That stopped kies working properly 64bit win 7
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tehpriest:
Did it? I never noticed it not working :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] contalyst:
I tried to update from the website but I can only seem to update via the updater in Kies. Downloading via updater now. Hope it works!

EDIT: It worked. had to do it to make sure there were no new builds of JH2 for bell tech support.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Yakumo.unr:
It's another large(ish) update, thousands of files again, hardly a registry fix.

When you click the close cross top right, or 'cancel' to close the firmware update check after it reports nothing new found. "MSC.Thunder.FirmwareUpdate.exe" starts gobbling up ram like there is no tomorrow (over 1gb by the time I find it to kill it) and my system becomes basically unusable until I kill the samsung "devicemanager.exe" and "connectionmanager.exe" and wait a few minutes.

This problem only started with 1.5.3.10093-80, and 1.5.3.10093-81 doesn't change it at all. (win7-x64)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] opica:
I keep getting 'The internet is not connected' message in the update procedure :rolleyes:

I'll probably have to stay up all night, clicking retry :D

I've been on v10093_31_1, it didn't offer me an update. Uninstalled and manually downloaded v10093_80, installed it, then it was checking for updates for about an hour.

I have no problems with connecting the phone to Kies on W7 64bit whatsoever.

edit:

never had any problems with 'MSC.Thunder.FirmwareUpdate.exe' either, through update widget in Kies or executed manually.
