[HD2 Accessories] DLTempler:
I have a ProClip mount and swivel (Brodit) for my TP2.

Wondering whether anyone can comment on the adjustable swivel mount for the HD2. It is made to accomodate a phone in a case.

The std. swivel mount is so stable and solid I have trouble imagining that the adjustable can be similar but I am inclined to put the HD in a case of one kind or another.

Experiences?

Those of you who have Swiftkey (and perhaps some other alternate keyboard) know that there is a bug when used in landscape for SMS/MMS messages where putting in a partial name/number in the TO: field doesn't bring up the list of contacts that have matches. Here's some correspondence with them regarding this.

Please explain your bug here:

When creating a sms or mms message, the To: field doesn't bring up the

contact list as well as the native one (which I understand se tweaked). I

put in partial or full name and don't get a list. No partial phone number

either.

In landscape there's an issue and we're working on it. We expect to have it fixed by December.

It does work, however, in portrait.

Well I am still waiting on mine. I was told it would be 3 days and well its been a week.

After I called to get my tracking number I was told it was still pending so they were going to fill out a a recovery form to contact the warehouse to find out what the problem was and I should get an email after 24 hrs. I didnt. Called again was told that it usually take 72 hrs. No dice. Called again guy told me that they are having problems with the forms lately and its been taking 8 days... WTF!?I was also told that my order has been put in backorder status with no way of knowing when it would ship. But the guy didnt understand why the Vibrant wasnt on his backorder list. So we sent an email escalation to the warehouse which I am currently waiting on which he said would take 24 hrs.

This is just mind numbingly insane to me. Why cant they call the warehouse to figure this crap out. I have a phone sitting here that their update broke that I havent even finished paying off yet that Ive had for about a month and a half and they are telling me i have to wait to hear from them when it will be shipped. I left Sprint to get away from this kind of crap.
[Vibrant General] sail4horizon:
Call customer care back & say CANCEL. That will get you the customer retention dept. I filed my claim on the 14th after the OTA update bricked my phone & they couldn't get it to come back up. Expected it to take maybe 3 days. After the phone had not arrived Tuesday I was PO'd yesterday morning & called. They told me it was on backorder and I probably wouldn't have it until the 25th. Wrong answer. Got to customer retention and they took $20 off my bill for the inconvenience and supposedly overnighted a phone to me. We'll see if it arrives today.
[Vibrant General] adamboyd83:
Ive been on the phone with CS multiple times and they have credited me back my shipping fee and my date usage for the month i will give them a call this afternoon again. I got an email address from the Live Chat person of soemone higher than them so hopefully I will hear back and let me know if you get your phone.

Also howd you get a date out of them they just keep telling me they have no idea.
[Vibrant General] jmerchant:
That sucks, mine bricked with the OTA and they said it would be 7 days to get my phone, well it showed on the 18th (I must of called on the 8th)...

What is dumb is they sent text messages to the bricked phone letting me know (HA, I ODIN'ed back to stock and applied the update and my phone worked fine).

So now I have a replacement phone and my original phone - I need to goto the store or something and return the replacement phone, right? Or will they charge me $100 bucks for the replacement and if they do, and I keep it - am I able to get another replacement if it breaks?
[Vibrant General] adamboyd83:
You should send it back I dont know if they would let you keep it they may charge you.
[Vibrant General] r0me0ne:
same here they credited me my data for the month, but still i want my phone back...i was thinking of odin back and recover but if they're sending me another phone i dont want to send them back a good phone...i guess ill just wait
[Vibrant General] sail4horizon:
CS is different from Customer Retention and you have to say cancel to get to them. Their job is to keep you as a subscriber. My guess is they have their own stock to pull from. The stupidest part of all this is there's a corporate store blocks from my house with a bunch of Vibrants in stock. Why Tmo won't give me one of those phones & replenish their stock is beyond me.

Send your phone back or they'll be sending you a bill for the retail price of the phone. When you got the replacement it should have included details on how to send the other back. If not, call.
[Vibrant General] adamboyd83:
I actually sent an email to the CEO with my complaints and they are assigning someone to my case. Waiting to hear back. But I will be calling when I get home.
[Vibrant General] demize!:
I had to replace mine due to overheating, shutdown thermometer icon, said 7 days, came on 7the. Day. Call 611 ask for customer loyalty.
[Vibrant General] bretjrodgers:
Same sinking boat...

I am actually in the same boat...I ordered an exchange back on 10/14 after my Vibrant went belly up after the update, ordered 3 day express shipping which should have arrived no later than Tuesday 10/19 and when I called to check the status they said it was on backordered status even though it wasn't officially backordered...until today that it. Samsung Vibrants for exchange have been backordered for replacements ordered 10/13 or after, and this information was just made known today...1 week after the fact! Submitting research requests will have no further luck as the shipment date is to be determined. It will simply arrives, when it arrives. Needless to say, I got the shipping charges refunded!
[Vibrant General] jamesey10:
My stock vibrant went belly up after the OTA update on Oct 12. I asked for an expedited replacement. I was actually given the expedition for free.

Oct 12 - OTA kills my stock Vibrant. I ordered a new replacement phone at the store, and expedited shipping was free.

Oct 15 - phone was supposed to arrive. It didn't, so I called and asked whats up. I was told Oct 16 was the new date.

Oct 16 - Phone didnt arrive. I asked what's up. I was told Oct 21

Oct 21 - phone didnt arrive today. I called and was told Oct 25. I asked for some kind of credit to my account. Since I'm vibrantless for 13 days, they credited me 13 days of service. Definitely call customer service, ask for a supervisor, and explain you've been inconvenienced by not having a smartphone. they will credit you for the days you've been dicked over.

Oct 25 - we'll see what happens.

If I get a refurbished phone, I'm going to get that replaced too.
[Vibrant General] DarkAgent:
It took 9 days - including weekend - to get my replacement.
[Vibrant General] DarkAgent:
There is no way to know if you get a refurbished. And if you call in and say you dont want redurbished they will just tell you they have requested a new one for you but they cant control it. I am unsure if mine is refurbished or not. The plastic cover that came with it made it look like a refurb but it was manufactured in 10/10 and the sliding door.at top feelings like no one has uses it before.
[Vibrant General] demize!:
Mine had the damn bootloader locked unlike my original so I had to do all this fevered reading about adb that I didn't have to do first time around, then BING, OTA and unlocked sbl,rerooted and back in the ballgame. I'm getting a refund for lost service and that cockamamie mobile TV charge which I never used.
[Vibrant General] ensonnosne:
I got mine, and it was not a refurb. I don't think there were enough defect returns because the phones on been on the mass market a few months. I got mine from a guy off of cl and I still got a new warranty replacement from samsung via tmo. It even had a manufacture date more recent than the date I bought the original! Just slapped my batt in and snapped my old cover and I was good to go.

Oh and btw, it does take them a week or two to get the replacement approval processed.
[Vibrant General] likeitnot:
Did it come in the original packaging with all the accessories or just the phone itself? I ask this because I've never had an exchange before. Thanks :)

(they told me mine would just be the phone and to keep my sd card, battery and all the accessories)
[Vibrant General] ensonnosne:
No is just the phone with out the cover or batt.

I think they only give you the whole box if you report it stolen.
[Vibrant General] likeitnot:
Okay. Thanks for your (quick) response. Much appreciated!
[Vibrant General] SpacelySprokets:
T-mobile is giving me hell about my phone since it was giving to me as a gift and the OTA screwed my phone up. They say my phone doesn't have a manufacturers warranty.
[Vibrant General] cbudder:
I paid for overnight on a sunday I had to cal back thursday and threaten a company switch, phone arrived next day at 1:40.
[Vibrant General] joe.kerwin:
ha. funny story. my phone bricked and i convinced the gentleman to express ship for free because of my disappointment and then he "remembered" it's on back order and said there's no TBD date. So i had him book me for express shipment when available, went to tmobile to get a loaner phone and figured id just pretend i hadn't called customer care and said "hey guys, uh my phone seems to be broken", the guy pretty much cut me off and said that the update was messing phones and just gave me another one in store, i bought my vibrant before they even officially released it in july. sweeeet
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
There is a SUPER AMOLED shortage.
[Vibrant General] adamboyd83:
After my email to the CEO and a call to the Customer retention center I got a call from some woman about my email and a rep saying the would call me on monday and if it haddent shipped they would make something happen. I ended up canceling my order.

I decided to give ODIN another shot. It worked and I now hav a working phone along with update to JI6.

Just glad to have a working phone.
[Vibrant General] demize!:
No, negative. It came in a generic remailer with that cardboard holder with the clear window. But I'm real anal and it looks new, only difference is the IMEI sticker under the batt.
[Vibrant General] markatl84:
Phone bricked by update.

Ordered 10/13 - Ground shipping. I live in GA and it ships from within the state. They said it was NOT backordered and would ship next day.

Shipped 10/16

Arrived 10/17 (like I said GA to GA show it was "next day" even though it was ground). Supposedly takes up to 7 days to ship ground if you are far enough away from LaGrange GA.

Is it refurb? Can't tell, seems like new.

BTW when I called on the 15th they said that normally it does ship next day. So there must be some kind of backorder that is affecting people...kinda surprised people who ordered earlier than me are waiting longer though...
[Vibrant General] SpacelySprokets:
I don't get it people are getting replacements without an issue
[Vibrant General] DreamcastDC:
If it's just the phone, it's a refurb.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
New phones always come in new box. You got a refurb. I just got a replacement and it came in a box brand new with everything in there, even another sim card.

I got two new replacements in a row. The manufacturer date was like 3 days nefore I got the phone each time.

So yea, if thats what you got its most definitely a refurbished device.
[Vibrant General] sail4horizon:
Lies lies lies

Update. Phone didn't arrive yesterday as promised that it was supposed to be overnighted to me on Wed. I called back to complain, obviously. This rep tells me she didn't have record of the phone being shipped and that it was basically impossible because of the backorder. Needless to say I was pissed that a Tmo rep would lie directly to my face and told her so. I'm still shocked at Tmo's crappy handling of this whole situation, first that they send out an OTA that bricks tons of phones and then how their warranty process works that a brand new customer can walk into a store a get a phone but someone who has been with them since 1997 has to wait indefinitely with no eta for what's supposed to be their top of the line phone. Utter BS. From now on whenever someone asks me about my phone I will be happy to tell them about this experience with Tmo and encourage them to take their business elsewhere.
[Vibrant General] nomadrider123:
I got mine from cl. Who did you talk to? I got that bs from a tmo store. Then I call and talked to tech services [not customer service] and they said they will send me out a replacement, Sad thing is they are on backorder. I called on the 13th they said one week. I called again on the 21st That's when I found out its on backorder. I am going to call ever day till my phone gets here.
[Vibrant General] nomadrider123:
I called today 10-22 It started out with cs I told them I was very unhappy paying 500 bucks for a phone that I can't use nor be told when I would get one. I told them I was ready to switch carriers. They transferred me to a account specialist. I told her the same story she said they would pay for shipping and give me one month free data. I asked her why can I order one on line and get it but cant get a replacement for my new one? She put me on hold and came back and said she turned it over to another dept and I would get a update text from them on a new phone. I told her that every day I don't get my phone drives me closer to dropping them. I was nice to them but firm about my displeasure. Will update this thread when I get more info. Sorry about this RANT :mad:
[Vibrant General] ensonnosne:
Yo, that is bull because mine was hardware locked and was able get a warranty replacement from samsung. Not only that, I'm a prepaid flex plan customer with no insurance. All electronics come with a mandatory one year manufacturer's warranty. Customer service people only know half of what they talk about usually.

It could have happened to me to, but the original purchaser got insurance on the phone when he got it. Who, by the way, is a total stranger I contacted off of CL.

How did they find out it was bricked from improper flashing? I just told them mine wouldn't turn on. Dude,i feel bad for you because the reps keep notes on each customers issue with the phone and if they write that in there, then you are screwed.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
Flexpay has terrible C/S. Overseas mostly.
[Vibrant General] ensonnosne:
Was it a replacement from the manufacturer or t mobile? How long had you had the phones before having them replaced? Why did toy replace it so many times?

The manufacture date of my replacement was within a week of the shipment date. You say yours was with in 3 days from the day you received it??? So they are shipping replacement phone direct from the samsung plant now?? Something about this doesn't jive.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
The first one I had over a month and it got stolen. Then I got a brand new one from Asurion in like 1.5 days. Locked myself out of that one and got another brand new one in like a week (backordered).

Thry came in the same box a new one comes in at the tmo store and had everything in it. Sim card battery manual plastic on the phone ear buds etc. the manufacturer date was way too soon for them to be refurbished. The IMEIs match thr manufacturer tags. It came with the same tape they had to cut at the store on, untampered. The phones were unmistakably brand new.

When I got replacement phones from AT&T they never came brand new. They were always refurbs unless you swapped to a different (rather new) model.

They ship the phones to you from the distribution center. Asurion overnight aired me all my phomes and since thry were backordered tjey were getting them superfast from samsung (to meet demands). I had a pic of my 3 vibrant boxes in another thread. My phones were all new. I'm enjoying my extra batteries, usb chargers, and battery covers. May not jive for you, but sure as hell jives for me.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
Asurion doesn't send in-warranty replacements(unless you give them $130 or whatever the deductible is and send your phone back), T-Mobile does directly and they all come in white boxes with just the device and nothing else (new or not).
[Vibrant General] Lsaber2000:
I'm about in the same situation myself. No need to recap the entire scenario seeing as bout everyone else seems to be familiar. What I want at this point is to just have a phone that work how its suppose to. I'm willing to just scrap my vibrant all together if they send me a G2. I never been a huge fan of slide keyboard phones, but I'd rather have a phone that isn't necessarely my favorite that works properly than wait for God knows how long with a phone that's malfunctioning like crazy.
[Vibrant General] nomadrider123:
I think if I call everyday they will end up giving me a new phone. I asked why i never got that text they said i was suppose to get within 24 hours of my last call. see previous post. All I want is tmo to back up their product.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
Of couse I paid my deductible. Rather pay for a new one then get a refurb with unknown issues/hardware lock.
[Vibrant General] ensonnosne:
You are mixing up two different scenarios and two different carriers. We are talking about warranty replacements on tmo vibrant made by samsung. Not insurance replacements which are totally two different issues.
[Vibrant General] nomadrider123:
I called again Same crap different day Talked to several ppl loyalty serv. customer serv. and a account specialist. They tried to tell me they have no phones at all. I said I could order one on line, they said they were backorderd too. I went to their site and got all the way to the final check out. It seems like it would have gone threw. So I quit. 2 weeks later and they still can't tell me when I would get one? Maybe i will get a new one instead of a refurb one. I think when they see my number they go oh **** he is calling again. What a nice $500. paper weight I have
[Vibrant General] joe.kerwin:
Theyre on backorder. It's due to so many bricks on the update.
[Vibrant General] Anthony B:
My phone bricked do to the update as well, after calling tmo and them telling me I need a new phone. They told me I should take my phone back from whet I bought it since I was still within the 14 days. The only problem with taking it back is, I bought the last one! So about 2 hours later I found odin and the files I needed, what do you know I was back in business.

Now I'm running a custom rom, bionix 1.9 final

All you people waiting for a phone why not just re-flash with odin and stock rom. It would save you time and money. Why wait when you can have your phone back in 10 min, instead of 3 weeks.
[Vibrant General] vapotrini:
Well Samsung seems to have a much better turn around time than T-mobile atm. Sent my phone in on Friday and it shipped out back to me yesterday. Less than 48 hours (work days).
[Vibrant General] nomadrider123:
Yes we all are aware of that :rolleyes:
[Vibrant General] nomadrider123:
update

Did anyone else get sent a tracking number?
[Vibrant General] nomadrider123:
I would say call tmo went to ups.com and this is my update. Your package is in the UPS system and has a rescheduled delivery date of 10/29/2010.
[Vibrant General] crazy25000:
I've had 5 replacements and each one shipped in 2 days.

Edit: was shipped to me, not just shipped by T-Mobile.
[Droid X General] GoldenCyn:
I have noticed recently that I have to reboot my phone at least once a day just so the system would read and use the custom ringtones and notifications that used to work fine without a reboot for days.

I first noticed that my alarm made the same sound that the phone would make if it had a custom ringtone and someone called while the microsd card was mounted via usb. If the sd card is not available, then the system would use something from its system.

Then I noticed thy once this problem pops up, I can't play any videos (youtube too), or music. I get an error messege on music player that this format cannot be played.

This has become annoying because it happens more frequently than before. And I use a custom notification for my alarm and when it doesn't work, the alternative system one is too low and leaves me at risk of not waking up.

I have my wifes' DX set up exactly like mine and she just started having this problem today also while this has been going on for close a week for me.

Any suggestions?

im not to thrilled to be switching to the Andriod interface. Been #teamhtc w/ windows mobile for about 5 years. But my unlocked touch pro 2 has finally went to his grave. so i figured a way to have tmobile send me a cliq.

I played with it and I only right now have 2 requests. I would LOVE swype b/c i HATE the keyboard. and i want a nice theme. I am not sure if there is any ROM/Flashing and development going on for the Cliq XT yet. I will look into that later. Being that I flashed my touch pro probably every 2 weeks lol.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] soneracar:
Modmymoto I found to be the best site but you really should not have gone with a phone that is stuck on 1.5. I had it before trading it for an hd2 and put android on it. The screen is way tiny, bottom half is unresponsive in some apps, if you can even get the apps because of 1.5. Don't be fooled by the 2.1 update. I was told I was going to get it in January then it changed to June then August now December. This is a social networking phone, nothing else. I would give it a 3/10 since the high glitches, no support, and stupid slow. Stay far away.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] soneracar:
PS. They have roms including 2.1 on that site but they all fail because they have 3 second lags with everything you do. None of the Rome have been updated in months. Paperweight!
