Why the aggression? I just stated that the question was already answered. Anyways, it's better to be a smartass than a DUMBASS who appeals to insult when doesn't have valid arguments to reply in a civilized way.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] bigjohn6582:
Ok well even though the question was answered it was like back in October of last year. That is my argument and I think it is pretty valid. Was just thinking maybe just may that someone had tried it with another Rom and bar not reported it if it worked or didn't. My agression was when u came off ad a smartass. I Am no

Dumbass just asking so that I don't mess up my phone. Oh and FYI I happen to gave been flashing time and kernels since tba aria came out so that makes me not a dumbass!

[Vibrant General] nick1217:
Haha I see so many people complaining about bricked vibrants, apps not working, .zip files not working right, market issues, bad battery life and screwy bugs...

Am i a lucky guy who just got one of the "few" working vibrants??

I got my vibrant on release day from a preorder at radioshack...

It was not hardware locked and came with the original firmware.

Im currently running bionix 1.9.1 with the kk oc/uv kernel, launcher pro plus and have 76 user apps installed and this rom still keeps up. 2g is kept on until i need to use 3g. (2g 12 hours, 3g on the rest)

I previously installed oclf on all roms but this rom you dont need one, even with the cpu running at 200 MHz and 1000 MHz.

I have a livewallpaper running, no led notifer on for my sms, beautiful widgets, weatherbug and youtube all on 2 hour update and my battery lasts from 7am off the charger until 10 pm when im home with about 35% remaining with brightness on the lowest setting.

My gps works on spot , unfortunately not in my basement where my room is located. Wifi and bluetooth also work perfect.

Ive softbricked once when flashing a cappy .zip and just got into recovery and performed a nandroid

So whats up how many of you guys have a awesome, powerful vibrant like me?
[Vibrant General] pdefazio:
I guess I am also one of the lucky ones ;)

Mine always worked fine. Not hardware locked. GPS always worked too. The only problems I've had with it have been inflicted by the user (i.e. ME)

I think most Vibrants sold are working properly. I think the representation of folks who come to this forum in search of ways to "fix" their phones is disproportionate.
[Vibrant General] oka1:
your not alone

I have had no problem with my phone I have flashed it with 3 different roms and it has been awesome. The only thing I have noticed is the gps does not tell me when I have a satellite lock but is is always accurate to 10-15 meters
[Vibrant General] PaiPiePia:
My Vibrant is working like how I wanted it, the only issue is definitely GPS. Although, spotty, it at least work at the moment. I just wish it is more accurate so when my phone gets stolen, I have a fighting chance to get it back (via one of the many great anti-thief programs).
[Vibrant General] demo23019:
mine runs great :D
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
I guess you can consider me a lucky one as well.

I got mine on a release day back in July, and aside GPS issues at the beginning I had no complaints. Running Fusion Bionix ROM, and couldn't be happier.

I will def skip the Foryo OTA even if it comes before a working Froyo ROM is available from the brilliant devs on here.
[Vibrant General] speoples20:
At my work there are 5 of use with Vibrants and they all run fine. Honestly people who have issues are typically going to be more vocal than people who have no issues. So it seems like there are rampant issues with the Vibrant when in fact its only a minority of people having issues.
[Vibrant General] funeralthirst:
i ordered mine the day it came out (couldn't preorder cause on an employee account). gps wasn't that great, but worked most the time. rooted it and got rid of bloatware, still just unreliability of gps. started changing things like startup/shutdown animations, ji2 gps, and stuff, no problems. started flashing roms and am on bionix 1.9.1 oc, no problems.
[Vibrant General] mmas0n:
My box date is 7/11/2010. Mine has been rock solid and not hardware locked. Love this phone. Fast, sexy, and unbrickable. The only problems I've had were caused by my own shenanigans.
[Vibrant General] down8:
Running a custom ROM should exclude you from voting. If you have to re-engineer a device to get what you paid for, you aren't getting what you paid for....

-bZj
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
Mine had the hardware lock and GPS issues, but both are fixed now. I've been lucky in that everything else I've thrown at it works fine. Overclocking is fine, voodoo is fine. The thing is smooth as butter and battery life is pretty damn good now.
[Vibrant General] snorge:
Remember people happy with their phones don't usually post.
[Vibrant General] SpacelySprokets:
I don't know what the hell happened to my phone after the update. I don't even know what to say
[Vibrant General] PaiPiePia:
Then don't say anything?

I like being a smartass. :rolleyes:
[Vibrant General] richan90:
Most people won't post to say hey my vibrant is working great! Rather they would post when they encounter a problem and need help quick. I haven't had any problems that I couldn't easily fix by myself l.

Sent from my SGH-T959
[Vibrant General] Slow50:
My vibrant worked great, untill the last update. Now I get lag sometimes real bad.

I was real happy. Now I'm looking for roms.
[Vibrant General] nick1217:
No i don't think so , ive had android phones in the past and since the vibrant was gonna be a large seller for tmobile i expected a large development community like we are seeing and expected roms. So i bought the phone intentionally to mod it but thanks!
[Vibrant General] CitrixLemon:
Also since most people on XDA have rooted their phone, you can expect they will have more problems than the average consumer. It's one of the downsides of modding. I don't think stock phones have been soft bricking only modded ones.
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
Really? I paid a premium for a device I could customize to my liking (cough-cough iPhone anyone???), well if it weren't for the dev section here I would've been very upset with the outcome.
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
Read the numerous posts here about JI6 OTA update from the users that just received their phone, some of them were sad pandas when they had to stare at the Vibrant screen after they click update button.

If you read enough, and comfortable enough to mod your phone soft bricking it should the least of your concern :)
[Vibrant General] mr2t32:
The only good part from those update is that it will unlock the hardware for download mode and recovery mode. It happened to my GF's phone which was hardware locked and after the update it got stock on the vibrant screen. Just for the hell of it, I tried the recovery mode and i got in without any problem, so even if the update fails, you will be be ok with odin. Ayways, I'm very happy with my vibrant coming from myTouch.

The GPS is working fine for me which it takes me from point a to point b. As for the compass, it jumps around. What i mean by that is that when I'm facing north, it will sometime point to south, east, or west. I think the compass is what is causing the navigation to look like it's not working because it causes the map to jump around. I only noticed this if i'm stopped at a light, but once i'm moving it works like it should, so it might be a software issue.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
A minority of consumers are content with mediocrity.

A majority of them just aren't.

Also, people on a phone hacking website are more likely to think their phone works flawlessly because they've done a lot of the work the manufacturers should have done.

That's not the way it should be.

No one gets an XBox 360 or PS3 and expects to have a hack it to make it run decently. Therefore, I don't perform or depend on hacks to get my smartphone working decently.
[Vibrant General] barmanham:
I wish I could believe people who say there GPS works but I highly doubt it.Are you guys using a GPS app like GPS Test to see the accuracy?Have you even tested it on the road?Sometimes mines works but its just to unreliable arrow just jumps everywhere or its just plain inaccurate by alot.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Smokexz:
Is there an app? Or do you have to use the touch Youtube site?
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
from what i've read, the first time you visit a youtube clip, it will ask you to download an extension, and after this it will play it like would any other video. it's not a seperate application persay, but merely just an extension to IE to allow you to play the youtube clips.

I could be wrong on this, but I have seen videos of youtube playing, so it's definitely there.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Smokexz:
I just read on Wikipedia it will run it in a sort of media player app, but they state that Adobe Flash 10.1 is on the way so this could be improved, or hell, there is the possibility updates will bring Youtube apps and better support.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Iridox:
There is built-in support for viewing the videos, but Google will need to develop a separate Youtube app if you want the off-browser experience.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Phone Titan:
Chances are that Google are already working on an application for YouTube.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mr mystery:
App in Marketplace that plays Youtube over 3g is craptastic, horrible quality over 3g. Seriously over 3g the quality is worse than on a Blackberry. WTF MS?
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Microsoft doesn't own YouTube, so I dunno why you're asking them.

And the quality is probably poor because it's playing 240 or 360p version of the videos instead of HQ.

That's why Google needs to release a YouTube App.

Microsoft has more important things to worry about, like, the actual operating system.
[Windows Phone 7 General] blahism:
The youtube experience on WP7 is amazing.. its the first phone i ever used that didn't require a full fledged app. I sort of like it that m.youtube.com works out of the box and there isn't "an app for that" - with that being said, people are free to use the youtube api and make their own apps and google may do just that. However with m.youtube.com the quality for me is amazing. I don't watch it over 3g since AT&T rapes us with 3g bandwidth costs but over wifi the quality is beautiful. M.youtube.com also works with your login id so you can easily play your favorite and surf the website. It isn't a pretty package, but hell, sometimes its better that the web integration works this well rather than waiting for a required app
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
Apparently the youtube app adjusts the video settings if not on wifi. Which doesn't make sense since my 3g connection can more than handle youtube....

Maybe contact the developer and see if we can get settings adjustments.

edit: nevermind, it lists microsoft as the developer so I guess maybe an update will help?
[Touch Diamond CDMA] rast4man:
I have 2 Diamonds atm and I'm sending one back. I flashed a custom ROM on the one I'm sending back and would like to put the stock ROM back on. The trouble is, when I go to HTC's site and choose the stock ROM, I put in my S/N (tried on both phones) and it says invalid SN. So I'm kind of stuck and it needs to be in the mail tomorrow (Wednesday October 20, 2010).

Can anyone help me just get a stock ROM tonight please? I'll be your best friend. :)

I've had the Incredible since day one after three painful years with various iPhones. I even worked for Apple. Never in my life have I ever found such joy from any online forum. I believe this is my first post since I found this site, but I truly appreciate everyones input. I've learned so much over at the developer forum. Once I had my Rom set, I felt taken care of when it came to customizing. The great thing is guys is that you don't really ask much except for beer money. Beer is what has inspired me to write this, but that's it. You are very talented and I hope my drunken words of encouragement (and hopefully others who are r/o) show some support. Thanks dudes.

Where is the best/cheapest place to get SD cards?

I am thinking about getting a 32gb card for all my music etc..

And...

Is there a big difference between the "classes"?
[Vibrant Accessories] oldarney:
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=MicroSD+card+classes

you got two options when it comes to 32gb cards, $80 for a class 2, or $150 for a class 4. Video over 2mbps may studder on class 2 cards.

Kingston introduces Class 4 32GB microSDHC card, charges dearly for the speed
[Vibrant Accessories] itsjusttim:
16gb class 4 @ frys for 32$.

Best deal I've seen..
[Vibrant Accessories] psychoace:
Class? Kinda, if you have an 8gig at class 6 and you move up to a 16 gig running at class 6 the larger drive will be slower. The reason being you need more voltage for 16 gig to reach class 6 then an 8gig. The phone won't provide it though since its voltage is regulated so not to incur more heat on the phone and damage the internal hardware. With 32gig being twice the capacity its hard to say how many volts it would need to hit class 4 speeds but its probably best to run benchmarks to see
[Vibrant Accessories] a400meter:
Nice info, did not know that...
[Vibrant Accessories] techboydino:
www.supermediastore.com is my favorite place. They are having a deal right now for a Class 10 32GB for $56.77 (click link) AData and Transcend have pretty much done me right so far.

I cant agree. Micro SD cards have a 3.3V standard, most are pretty close to the same amperage draw also. If you follow most memory trends the larger the chips and capacity gets, the less power required and usually smaller build technology. So while in theory I think larger would equal more power, I dont actually think thats true. I think newer, larger cards use less power than older smaller ones. Even if they are much faster. Just my opinion, not fact.

So my advice is to get the largest and fastest card you can. Have yet to have any adverse effects on any phone.
[Vibrant Accessories] Kubernetes:
That's for a regular SD card. There's no such thing as a Class 10 32GB Micro SD. Not yet, anyway.
[Vibrant Accessories] The K-Zoo Kid:
So my phone will overheat if i dont get a high enough class?

I guess my real question is, does it matter what class i have if i will strictly be using the card for music? I use my internal for everything else..
[Vibrant Accessories] gravis86:
Don't worry about the card overheating. The minor changes in voltage mean practically nothing to us.

If all you are storing is music (like myself) then just get a class 2. This one from Verizon is probably the cheapest one you're going to find. Basically anything cheaper (like from eBay or Craigslist) is most likely a scam.
[Vibrant Accessories] The K-Zoo Kid:
Thanks bro.
[Vibrant Accessories] techboydino:
Good catch, jumped the gun on that one. But....there is certainly CL10 Micro SD's thats just not one of them. Do a quick Google search and youll find some for sale. Price is still pretty high though.
[Vibrant Accessories] psychoace:
No I'm saying your phone's microsd card will run as fast as a class 2 card if it's actually a class 4. I said the voltage is regulated that means it wont go over a predetermined amount. That is why the cards go slower and why they don't overheat.
[Vibrant Accessories] remarquian:
Outside of Ebay, the best price I've seen for Class 2 32GB microSDHC cards is at

http://www.datamemorysystems.com/_memory-information/DM55_0981-2A.asp for a Transcend card.

Best price for Kingston's Class 4 32GB card is like $100.

Kingston and Transcend have just entered the 32GB microSDHC market this month joining SanDisk, so prices have dropped a bit and may drop more in the future.
[Vibrant Accessories] n2ishun:
So you're familiar with ohms law....or at least you'd say so ?

You do know that the voltage paths and the data paths are on different pins ..... right ?

Your post is one of the most ill-informed I've ever heard.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital#SDHC

Go there, learn something.

Voltage has NOTHING to do with read speed or data capacity.

They all run the same voltage, and *gasp* the same amperage.

I guess since volts x amps = watts....they must run the same wattage too :D

BTW, all SDHC chips are required to run under a very tight specification and they have to be licensed to run in that spec.....so there is no room for deviation in the voltage arena.
[Vibrant Accessories] n2ishun:
Here, since you are mis-informed of the class specs too (jeebus!).
[Vibrant Accessories] hukkguai:
I have a 32GB class 2 and it runs just fine for videos. I can play Avatar with no hiccups on it at all.
[Vibrant Accessories] Kubernetes:
No, the link you showed is a 16GB. Again, there is no such thing as a Class 10 32GB Micro SD card at this time. Sandisk has a Class 2 and Kingston a Class 4, but nothing faster is out on the market right now.
[Vibrant Accessories] n2ishun:
blah blah, whatever

Learn what voltage is

Learn what current is

You're talking out of serious lack of knowledge.

That phone you are speaking of IS NOT a desktop computer, the devices are not singular and replaceable, let alone capable of a variance of factors.

You simply do not go into the bios and tweak the settings on a phone.

If the SD card runs or not is the factor, *voltage* (ahem) does not change, it is STATIC!

I guess YOU could always slap a RAID card in it and SLI some video chips....

But back in the real world.....
[Vibrant Accessories] Kubernetes:
Can someone do that test? Will a Class 6 card work at Class 6 speeds in the phone? I would think so since cards are classified based on minimum sustained transfer... even if a particular card can get higher output in certain applications, it shouldn't fall below the minimum class rating, right?
[Vibrant Accessories] psychoace:
I guess you didn't really read what I said. I said that you can't change the bios in the phone to tweak things (although as many know you can tweak voltages on your phones cpu). Yes you are right that the voltage does not change which is exactly what I'm saying. That voltage though is at a medium. Different cards have different voltage requirements. Higher end cards need around 3.6v's while most cards will run optimal at 3.3v. So why would manufactures waste time making sure there sd card slot gets 3.6v when it only causes problems and speed really isn't the number one concern of most consumers. Running class 4 speeds is fine for everybody. Look at hukkguai who said his class 2 card runs video's fine. That's a 2MB write speed and he's fine. What do you really need from 6MBps? So they dump the voltage down to a safe average and everybody is happy. These sd cards don't need a static voltage to run. They can deal with varied voltages just fine. So now you have a phone that generates low heat, draws less power and runs as fast as most consumers need it to run. Why is that so hard for you to believe?

You could also plug your phone into your computer run it as storage media and then run this program and run some tests on it http://www.hdtune.com

Also those minimum SD card rated speeds he points out are only for SD cards not Microsd cards. Notice in that entire post Microsd is only talked about in reference not as the main subject.

Also I'm not 100% certain but from what I always remembered for Microsd cards the class was the max speed and not the minimum. You got to remember these cards are much smaller products then there big brothers so to expect them to still keep up in speed is insane.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820208453

"Rooks: Interestingly, SD Card Speed Test shows a Read/Write of this card as 4MB/8MB (1MB Buffer) and 4MB/10MB (9MB Buffer). I'm guessing I have some apps/android doing card reads so I'll have to dive in and disable as much as I can before I test again, but those scores seemed a little low. (I think its more my phone than the card considering the PC scores)."

Class 6 card running at class 4 speeds.
[Vibrant Accessories] splitfinity:
Ok, just to clarify:

CLASS rating is only a MINIMUM! Not a maximum speed.

I say this because you can buy class-2 or class 4 cards that will outperform some class-6 and class-10 cards.

Sandisk ultra cards, for example are class-4, but will outperform most class 6 or 10 cards because they have a higher sustained transfer rate.

if you are looking for speed, look to what the SLR camera guys use, do not just buy the cheapest card with the highest class.
[Vibrant Accessories] psychoace:
If that was true then the comment I posted to wouldn't exist. A class 6 card wouldn't run at class 4 speeds by your rule. it does and I have yet to see anyone do a test that proves me wrong. It's rating is assuming you are throwing the rated volts the card needs. So if it needs 3.6v and your phone only does 3.3v you are not going to get that minimum promised speed

Also are all the test your referring to run on a phone or a dslr ?
[Vibrant Accessories] n2ishun:
You STILL don't get it.

The voltage is STATIC, all cards run at 3.3V.

The AMPERAGE requirements are *sometimes* different, from 20-120mA (that is milliamps for the ....well...for YOU).

A class 6 card of course will run at class 4 speeds because class 4 speeds ARE LOWER than class 6 speeds (you still need to figure that out before posting anymore on something you have COMPLETELY BACKWARDS!).

It seems everyone else gets it (notice the trend in the posts ?).

You, however, don't.
[Vibrant Accessories] Persanity:
I can't believe the things some people argue over. N2ishun is it really so hard to have an intelligent conversation without being a ****? It shows a huge lack of intelligence on your part that you can't argue your point without insulting Psychoace. Psychoace, whether your right or wrong props on not resorting to petty childishness.
[Vibrant Accessories] n2ishun:
Guess I'm a ****ing moron according to you.

So do you feel better denoting someone as mentally deficient then bashing them ?

(www.dictionary.com since you'll probably need it)

If someone is giving another advice, and that advice is *SKEWED* I will call them on it every time I see it.

If you don't like that....it's not me that is at fault.

Perhaps it would help if you actually read the whole thread before posting again.
[Vibrant Accessories] Kubernetes:
Dayum, chill out folks. We're talking about bits of plastic and silicon, not politics and religion.
[Vibrant Accessories] lotherius:
Besides, with a phone like the Vibrant with internal memory, the speed of your external SD is less important. Back when I had a G1 with apps2sd and swap, it was vital, so I got a class 6.

However, most applications install to the Internal SD, not the external. You can't change the speed of THAT. The only place where speed of the MicroSD matters on a Vibrant really is if you have an app that lets you specify a path, AND it needs a faster card, or when you are transferring files to/from your desktop.

My takeaway: On the vibrant, go big over fast.
