My point..When did AT&T or Samsung say the official date is September,October...they are just now announcing the European roll out.The phone has only been out for few months. They are already releasing updates in Europe and we are now slated for one. We will get it when it is ready and they are ready to release it. Do you not think they aren't aware of what issues people are reporting..

People get worked up over rumors and people say some really stupid things.If your reason for buying this phone was based on a rumor..how is this AT&T's or Samsung fault..??

This device is far different than the other devices..

this device

..from the start has been billed and advertised as a multimedia phone..not once as far as I can find as a stand alone GPS device..or having the best or even a great gps on the market and by all accounts here...that is one of the biggest complaints about it..and yours as well. I bought this phone for that reason(multimedia) along with the knowledge of AT&T's network and how well it worked for my area by talking to many AT&T's customers I know personally.

If this phone and company are so totally unacceptable to you..or..you feel you can not trust Samsung to deliver as promised..or if your phone isn't working..take the damn thing back and get one that does..then sell it and get another Nokia..since that is what you apparently want..

I have 2 of the new I 4 32 gig phones on my plan along with 2 of the Captivates..I much prefer the Captivates..so does my wife..and my youngest has considered trading his back in for one (still under the 30 day window)

For now..I'll wait and see what Samsung releases..but I also know full well that some people will never be satisfied with what ever they do..they just dislike Samsung that much..

DB.....learn by trial and error....im on cogB7....f'ing awsome....cant complain. Captivate - sorry but SGS line is best out right now....and yes android is way more open source than anything else right now.
[Captivate General] Mac11700:
I did..2x's..

Yes..they do have quality parts in them,and the gps issue effects

some

of the phones..

not all of them

. I say they should have did better Q/C on them..because there are too many of them that won't go into recovery with the 3 button method,but their software updates are being released fairly well. The JH7 just got released..and we will soon have the 2.2 release. If they aren't releasing fast enough for your taste..what can I say..Your the one that has to deal with that and part of your phone that isn't working..

Like I stated earlier..I have researched this phone.I bought it BECAUSE IT WORKS GREAT...all of it WORKS GREAT...and yes..that includes the gps function.I updated from JI6 to JH7 and it went from good to great..Many others have too,so it's not like every single one doesn't work..I also went to the trouble of testing mine at the store before I signed the contract..We had to go through 7 of them before I found one for the wife..

7 of them

..that's crazy...This is why I say it is a Q/C issue...I'm sorry if yours doesn't live up to your expectations..Send it back and MAKE THEM GIVE YOU ONE THAT DOES...get what you paid for. Why continue to pound salt about it..****fire and save the matches..It's like all you want to do is ***** and moan about something not working for everyone,and aren't forcing them to fix their problem. *****ing about it or arguing with me about it is getting you exactly how far in getting a phone that works? I have a bunch of Samsung products in my home..Knock Wood all work exceptionally well..If I had one that failed within the warranty period..I would have it replaced..no matter how many times it takes to or.. to qualify for either my states lemon law or the federal one..I've been down that road before with Sony.

BTW..you brought Nokia into this conversation..not me.

Good Luck on getting a working phone

[Captivate General] emuneee:
Why did you buy the Captivate if you wanted a true Google Experience phone? I don't understand the complaining going on. You knew what you were buying (or should have) when you walked into the store and asked for the Captivate.
[Captivate General] \/icious:
We still mod phones here right?
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
Same questions have been asked for Windows Mobiles phones. Unfortunately, the answer is the same because Google develops its mobile OS the same way Windows Mobile did. There is no such thing as vanilla copy of Android OS, nor Windows Mobile. These OSes are designed to be used by manufacturers to cook their own ROM. It requires them to write their own drivers to integrate with the OS and extend the very basic OS features out of box.

Google simply prepared a receipe and some basic raw ingridients. You still need a chef to cook them into a delicious dish. There is no ready made Android OS for eveyone.
[Captivate General] emuneee:
Exactly, so instead if complaining...do it. Otherwise your just wasting your time.
[Captivate General] \/icious:
While stuff's question is definitely silly seeing how he has been here long enough to know once the development teams gets cooking with a proper source, which I think they have now, he will most likely get what he wants. Your comment basically says he should accept the phone as it is or return it and that's not why any of us are here. I know I'm looking forward to making this bad boy look and run as non bloated stock as possible. :D

So you aren't running anything on your phone? What a waste of a perfectly good phone.

Android in 2.2 is pretty good at managing memory, so task killers aren't necessary anymore.

Nope, I am running lots of things on my phone... Just only the things I use... I disabled all the crap I do not and will not ever use. What do you have running on your phone that you need running 24/7? I run items on demand when I use them No need for them to be running 24/7

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dntipwn:
Ok so I'm pretty new to the android scene. Today I got a notice that I had a update so I unrooted because of people saying that if updating while rooted it will brick then I clicked apply update. My phone then rebooted and said up date failed. Im guessing from the lack of cell reception. Does any one know how to try again if I check for updates it says no firmware thankyou in advanced
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chichu_9:
There are a couple of ways to do it,

1) force your system to check for update

2) use ODIN to manually update, you can grab the software from the development section in the bible.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dntipwn:
ok i tried to force update but it doesnt do anything then i tried to clear the data from the Device management app and check for updates again and it says system not ready check network or sim so im guessing i should just wait it out to see if they push it again. i would rather stay away from the sdk area i just got the phone out of the black screen of death today.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moped_Ryder:
I take it you can 3 finger salute your phone if needed?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bronk93:
I personally feel the easiest thing to do is update it through mini Kies. If you need further instructions on how to do it, let me know.

I'm gonna hold off for a week because tmobile is sending me a new phone for some other issues I'm having but how would I update through mini kies cuz the gps on this phone takes so long so when I get the new phone I'm gonna fix that
[Windows Phone 7 General] surfnet:
anyone know where I can preorder a focus? I googled around and found some links to ATT, but that page just says 'coming soon' I know best buy is taking pre orders for the Surround.. but I want the focus.

thanks!
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
Don't think you really can yet. I'd suggest calling up a local AT&T store and having them put you on a list or something if they're doing that.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ryotgz:
Called two local AT&T stores and they aren't doing preorders. One store said to call back in November to see if they are then. Best Buy Mobile says they are only going to carry the Surround. I guess this could change by launch too.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Paolo01:
I wonder why att is not allowing pre orders for delivery on the 8th of Nov? Normally they have a two day and next day shipping option. They should simply allow pre ordering and then ship on the 6th or 7th depending on what type of shipping you paid for. (When I ordered a phone over the phone years ago, two day shipping was free and next day tacked on a $10 shipping fee.)
[Windows Phone 7 General] manlisten:
This is as close as I've seen to a pre-order page, but it doesn't appear to be for any one specific device.

[Fascinate General] ilogik:
Are there any phones better than the Fascinate being released around christmas? I am going to return this phone and will be able to choose any carrier within the US, any suggestions as to what is or will be a better phone?
[Fascinate General] phoenx06:
There will always be better phones coming out. And they will get exponentially better. You just have to choose when to jump in, choose the one you like, and be happy with your decision.
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
I know that Verizon has a bunch of world phones lined up to be released in the next month or so, as well as a bunch of non-world phones. AT&T and T-Mobile with have a bunch of WP7 devices, if you want something non-Android. I haven't seen much about Sprint releases, but I'm guessing they'll have something new to try and keep up with all the new devices the other carriers are getting as well.
[Fascinate General] s44:
Exactly. The next gen will be dual-core, but nothing besides that will be a real improvement.
[Fascinate General] ilogik:
Is there a phone coming out that will have a SAMOLED screen with higher resolution? I really dont like being able to see pixels on this phone.
[Fascinate General] cesium:
nothing in the next few months.
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
The iPhone is the only phone that has a higher resolution screen. There are others with a slightly greater resolution, but it's only a marginal difference. If you can see the pixels though, you must really be staring at the screen close as it looks fine to me from a normal viewing distance.
[Fascinate General] Daswolven:
OMG...

You're "The One"...
[Fascinate General] Jbuch84:
I don't think you're crazy, coming from my moto droid I too noticed "pixels" in this screen. It's more kind of like a screen door affect.. not a bad thing, just a difference between the two technologies. Small price to pay for how vibrant the colors are and how it sips battery in comparison imo.
[Fascinate General] chopper the dog:
The one that comes out 4 months after the one you just got. And keep repeating.

Your main gripe with the fascinate is pixels?

good day.
[Fascinate General] ilogik:
Yea I hate those pixels ;) I have an iphone 4 for work so whenever I pick up my fascinate those pixels jump out right at me :) But GPS and the lag is making me return the phone, its like it has to be rebooted every few days or it just starts to slow down. And yes I have the lag fix installed.

I understand the phones will get better but the reason I asked the original question is because I have a few days left to return it and most carriers will release new handsets for xmas.
[Fascinate General] GoogleAndroid:
That's just how Android is. A daily reboot should be no big deal, and it will keep it running fast. It's just from how it handles RAM.

The Galaxy S's are easily the best Android devices ATM. And if better phones come out, I don't really think you would see a difference. Games run well above 30 fps, so you wouldn't notice any gain there. And the CPU makes everything very smooth and fast. Perhaps things would load a few milliseconds faster, but I don't care. It'll easily last me 2 years. I couldn't stand the slowness of my Droid any more, so I jumped on the free phone friday promotion. And I sure am glad I did.
[Fascinate General] Daswolven:
Nothing that ive seen in the queue for the immediate future better. Froyo is heading out soon, which will correct most of the issues and put us firmly at the top of the benchmarks, but good luck with your decision.
[Fascinate General] lkhafra:
Silly rabbit smart phones aren't for everyone. One of the best phones out to date and so many complaints. Some people are never satisfied.looking through these forums reminds me that there is a need for dumb phones still lol.

Ok so i have been looking around for a while and so far can not seem to find a stand alone black vanilla lock screen mod . I am looking for the zip where the actual bars you drag over are black instead of white. I have seen many in themes (see MattedBlues for an example) but cant seem to find a standalone one i can flash over my current vanilla lockscreen.

Anyone able to help me out if you have found one with a link?

Thanks
[Flipout and Charm General] MrShides:
SInce the charm and flipout are essentially the same phone, and there is no forum for the charm, here is the charm rom if anyone comes in here looking for it:

http://j.mp/charm-rom

Supposedly you use this and RDSLITE 4.6 (although I haven't tried it) to get back to stock

This is taken from a post here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=770362

**I don't know if the drivers are the same and don't recommend flashing the charm rom onto the flipout**
[Flipout and Charm General] qipengart:
Ironically I actually own the Charm and really like it quite a bit. Why there isn't a seperate forum for it has been rather puzzling to me. Lately I have using the Cliq a lot.
[Flipout and Charm General] jerrycycle:
How do you flash this rom to the charm? I get to recovery and also have the file extract to the the sdcard renamed to update.zip.
[Flipout and Charm General] MrShides:
Its just a stock rom, so if you didn't f-up your rom there is no reason to flash it.

I'm assuming if you've gone so far to f-up your rom, you might have an idea of what RSDLite is. I'd like to help, but the charm is my first motorola phone, i'm not a developer, and I haven't tried flashing this myself as I have no reason to at this time.

Its just posted so the links/information is here for others.
[Flipout and Charm General] ghish:
The charm rom is not compatible! xD
[Flipout and Charm General] dvfk:
I've gotten my T-Mobile branded Charm now and these are my first experinces:

- It's SIM locked. A PIN code requester pops up when a non-T-Mobile SIM is inserted. T-Mobile customer service will, though, within a couple of days - provide the unlock code per email for free but only if an active T-Mobile customer calls them and provides the IMEI and their email address. Also you can pay $20 a cellunlocker.net to call them (I did - waiting for them to get back). Swiftunlocks.com should be cheaper.

- Universal Androot v1.6.2 can't root the phone. z4root worked nicely, though, after reboot. Didn't unlock SIM lock.

- Holding down arrow up while turning on the phone (hold power button 4 seconds) boots into USB flash mode. It's a non-interactive mode that allows only for reflashing the phone over USB.

- In the USB flash mode I've been able to flash the official T-Mobile ROM using RSDLite for Windows. All other ROMs have failed - found only one other ROM for Charm but it failed. Even tried one or two for Motorola Flipout.

- Installing the ClockworkMod app makes it possible to boot into Recovery mode (a feature in the app) and this mode has a menu for wiping and installing update.zip but I've found no update.zip for the Charm. Tried google apps (for MDPI) but it failed.

- I have found no way to backup the current ROM since I've found no community Recovery loader/bootloader (there might be some for Flipout though - not sure if they're compatible) and ClockworkMod probably can't install one since it doesn't know Charm (it asks me to confirm that wether it's a Droid Milestone, Driod X or Droid 2) - haven't dared to try confirming, though.

- I've tried to get rid of Motorola blur but once I removed some of the blur apps using Titanium Backup the Account settings started crashing and I couldn't replace them with the ones from my Hero (Titanium would only let me restore data - not the apps). Gmail v1.3 could uninstall but Gmail 2.3.2 wouldn't restore - Titanium just say failed to restore.

- Oh and I've found the screen to be OK but it's a portrait LCD that Motorola has installed in landscape so it's viewing angle is better with you turn the phone 90 degree (portrait). In normal landscape mode you get a slight 3D effect on dark blue colors in normal landscape orientation. The keyboard is hard to use with one hand (too wide to hold and reach all buttons with the thumb at the same time) but with two hands it's faster than any software keyboard I've tried. I might get better with one hand later.

Hi! I read that motorola released the new rom with multiple bugfixes but I'm italian so I can't download it, is there a way to update my motorola charm?

[Flipout and Charm General] Greyfoxzero:
Rooting...

I had the same issue but found that pulling the sim and sd card, turning it back on then using superoneclick actually works. Also I am in need of the official T-Mobile rom for my charm as well and the link at the beginning of the thread is dead. This phone has been a royal pain when it comes to doing anything and all that could be fixed with some froyo. This phone could have been amazing(minus the low res screen of course).

My Vibrant eventually appears connected by wi-fi, but can not load pages. This issue happened about one mounth ago, and then the connection returned to work normally in some time. Now the problem comes back.

I read in some sites that many Vibrant users are having this problem, but so far not found any solution.

Someone have the solution for this issue? The Froyo update will fix it?
