Does anyone know any information regarding as to why I don't have the "3G" box next to my network status (bars) after flashing a stock kernel and operating system on a Samsung Vibrant?

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

[EVO 4G Accessories] VictoryCrescent:
Hi I just got my Evo 4G and I am looking for the best accessories that work well with each other. I am looking for the following:

Screen Protector: cant distort colors and it shouldn't make my swipes and stuff terrible and it must protect against minor scratches. Note that i care about the screen protector but I don't want the glass exposed.

Case: Looking for a hard case that doesn't add much bulk and provides protection against everyday scuffs and minor drops.

Car Dock: Looking for a car dock that will hold my Evo while in a Hard case and still be usable. I would like it to recharge the evo as well. Most car docks don't work in my car due to the dashboard shape [see attached picture] so I am interested in vent options and not window adhesives (i cant bear my baby being suspended midair lol)

Better USB Charger: I want one that charge faster (wall charger) and have longer cords and maybe a few more cords.that i can keep one at work and one at home and in the car.

Any ideas?

Here's a good place for cables: http://www.amazon.com/BlackBerry-Cable-Micro-1-0m-Black/dp/B001QATRCA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1288623582&sr=8-1

as for charging, you're not going to find anything better then the stock A/C adapter.

screen protectors, i don't use them and my screen is doing just fine.

car docks: i keep my phone in it's holster cause i drive while in the car. :rolleyes: just sayin'

good luck mate! i hope you find everything you're looking for
[EVO 4G Accessories] VictoryCrescent:
Well I am really looking for a screen protector ( i cant stand grease on my screen lol) and a car dock for GPS/Navigation purposes. But thank you for your response. I am checking out the amazon link now.
[EVO 4G Accessories] thacounty:
I use cheap screen protectors. I can get the vinyl ones on discount and choose not to because I don't like the way they feel. The cheap ones that use static cling to stick to my screen work great and don't get scratched through. I have scratches on the protector, but not the screen. Make sure they have a cutout for the camera if you don't use the ones that are linked.

My otterbox commuter isn't too bulky, but if you want minor bulk go with the new Incipio case. I think it just started shipping.

Go with the Kensington Iphone mount. It comes with a dash mount and a windshield mount. It works with the Evo in an otterbox, so it will def work with any hard case you may get that is smaller. I got this based on feedback from a member here and they couldn't have been more correct. It will not charge the phone, but if you are using the vent mount get you a cheap car charger.

USB Cords are all the same charge wise, it is a limitation of the USB port, not the cable. but if you want a long one go here.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jetlite11:
you asked for the best...i don't have the best, but it works pretty well...

i have the seidio rugged case, i got it from amazon for $40 for the hard case, rubber case to go over that, holster and the screen protector.

seidio's screen protector is pretty good in my opinion. i'm not "screen protector connoisseur" by any means but it seems to hold up well while having a very glassy feel. as long as my hands arent covered in some sort of cooking or forehead grease, it stays relatively clean. I'm happy with the screen protector.

the seidio hard is ok. i like it overall but mine has developed a crack ( i have dropped it a couple times) and i will be seeing if i can get some sort of replacement. overall, it didn't add to much bulk and i liked the feel. i also liked how it goes on the phone and feel it provides good protection. i use this case by it self most of the time. i use the rugged part of it when i go off-road or working outside...really anytime that being in my pocket wouldnt be a good idea.

i use the nuvi 205 car mount for my evo. just takes a couple of minutes over a stove with a pair of pliers to form it to fit the evo with case. i fitted to my rugged case and when i use just the hard case, i use a piece a memory foam to hold it in place. it works really well and i use it while i go off-road. if it getting really bumpy, it falls out eventually but while on road it holds very nicely using either case.

i got the vent one so that it could have moving air going over the phone cause i did notice if i had my 1A car charger going and running satnav and other track recording apps plus music it got pretty warm (+the Arizona sun) and would stop charging.

like i said, not the best but thought it might be worth telling my experience.

cheers

And not just for phone / IT equipment - car stereo, home theatre, everything. They've got an amazing combination of price and quality.
[EVO 4G Accessories] montecristo1:
USB cable there (monoprice) was for $2.81, where i got my cable on ebay for $1.85.

What I have bought on ebay for my evo:

Extended battery 3500mAh for $9.99

Desktop slim cradle for $12.26

Amazon

Seidio spring holster $22

Ebay and Amazon should be on your list to find accessories.
[EVO 4G Accessories] PGRtoo:
Here's what I use:

Seidio Innocase™ II Surface Combo: The Innocase II Surface fits the Evo like a coat of paint and adds almost no bulk. People are frequently surprised to learn that I even have a case on my phone. Despite that, it protects the phone remarkably well. I work in the industrial maintenance trades and I'm not easy on my phones, but my Hero looked like new after a year in an Innocase Surface (after I removed the case) so I'm using the same thing on my Evo.

Seidio Ultimate Screen Guard - Crystal Clear: I actually use the Boxwave ClearTouch™ Anti-Glare screen protector on my phone but a lot of people don't like the matte finish and the Seidio Ultimate is a great choice if you like a crystal clear protector. Either one is durable and easy to apply, and I didn't detect any reduction in touch sensitivity for either one.

Seidio Desktop Charging Cradle: The perfect desktop cradle as far as I'm concerned. Use it with the wall wart which came with your Evo and it will charge at the maximum rate that the Evo will allow. Use it connected to a USB port on your computer and it will sync, but it will only charge at a reduced rate because a USB port can't deliver the power that a wall wart can. I keep my dock connected to the wall wart and use another cable (which I bought from monoprice.com) when I want to sync.

It may sound like I'm a Seidio dealer, but I'm not. :) They just make top quality stuff and I'm the kind of guy who appreciates that and sticks with what works. If you'd like some further reading which includes some before & after photos of my Hero and the Seidio Innocase II I used on it, you can visit the thread in Android Forums by CLICKING HERE. If you want to cut right to the chase you can read the first and last post in that thread, but there's some good stuff in between too.

Hi all,

I recently bought an unlocked international version of samsung galaxy S GT-i9000. I was able to use it with at&t sim card quite happily till now. Even the 3g worked on it. But from yesterday the at&t service keeps disconnecting after using for few hours. The network bars at the top right disappear and a blue disconnected sign appears. I cannot make a call or receive a call till I reboot my phone. In settings->about phone I see that the "Service" shows "Not in Service". When I reboot it gets back to "In Service".

Did anyone face this problem before? Is there any solution for it? My unlocked phone boots with T-mobile preset settings - is this problem because of that?\

Someone please help.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] INeedYourHelp:
I've been using one on AT&T for quite a while without issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vammov:
Ok. Thats encouraging. Did you change the software on it - like rooting or flashing other ROMS or still using the original touchwiz?

I donno why I am getting this error now..it worked fine last week.:confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] INeedYourHelp:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vammov:
I just installed a Yahoo mail application and some online radios yesterday. Nothing on the software side like rooting or flashing. I am still using the samsung touchwiz that came with the device.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vammov:
Looks like that yahoo mail app is the cause of the problem. Deleted that app 1 day back, and it seems to work smoothly for now without any disconnections. Thanks for pointing out to look at newly installed apps.:D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
did you buy I9000 or I9000M ?

I9000M runs on 850/1900/2100
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgkahn:
Doesn't really matter I had stock/euro i9000and had no disconnects.. although sometimes I only got edge when there was no 850 3g. I now have i9000m and still get no disconnects.. and yes I am on at&t.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vammov:
I bought I9000 (not the M version). I am able to get the 3g HSDPA with 1900 frequency. I verified it online before buying the piece that 3g would run on one of the frequencies. The problem I had earlier was not with the 3g network, but with the actual cell phone signal which enables to make calls.

I guess I was early in thinking everything is alright. The problem started again- it gets disconnected once in a while and I have to restart the mobile. Hey dapoktan, can you please remember what you did earlier to get rid of it? If we change the firmware does it help?

Before applying nailer's suggestions, I just saw I could update the firmware to froyo by doing a registry hack in kies http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S_Series#Installing_firmware_for_different_country. So just gave it a try and currently got froyo.

Have been using froyo since yesterday and no recurrence of the problem till now. I also successfully rooted the device following http://samsunggalaxysforums.com/showthread.php/2384-Rooting-FroYo-2.2 and applied Ryanza's lagfix 2.0 available in market. Looks fine for now and the phone runs excellently smooth.:D

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronjeremy11:
Maybe its an asinine question. All I know is that my N1 was next to an Iphone 4 today, and the icons and lines on my phone was rough and jagged whilst the ****ty I4 had simple straight lines. The icons, the homescreen lines, the browser text, every single thing on that evil device was a crisp I have only dreamed of. I then set a Samsung Captivate next to the I4 and the SGS was no better, the pixels are so terribly visible on Android, and virtually nonexistant on the I4. The SGS really didnt seem any better than my Nexus, maybe because even though its "SAMOLED" (which means absolutely not a single thing after setting next to an actual high res display) its larger so that sort of evens it out. The iphone has higher resolution, but is there any software update that can make my phone near that same invisible pixel display as the I4 or will i need to wait for Android to put out a high res display to get that smooth, crisp, vibrant pixel density? I havent even heard an rumors of good displays coming to android so i sure hope some software magic can help out.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
1) No, SW won't help you any.

2) Good old LCD has better quality (call it "actual resolution") than PenTile AMOLED, that's the reason. Resolution in specs has nothing to do with it. From any distance beyond 5 cm you won't tell the pixel density difference between 800x480 and 960x640 SLCDs.

So, I guess you'll either have to settle for SLCD device, or wait until there's non-PenTile AMOLED screen available.

P.S. It has been discussed in General section.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeLisko:
I have flashed "bionix19_JACS_OCUV_VOODOO.zip" and I want to use the Project Core. So I downloaded the "disable-voodoo" and flashed that too.

I opened up adb shell prior to flashing the disable and found "/dev/block/mmcblk0p4", meaning Voodoo is enabled.

I flashed the disable and ran the shell again to find "/dev/block/mmcblk0p2", meaning Voodoo is disabled. Linda tells me that things are being changed back during the reboot.

Then I flashed the Core, ran the shell, still seeing "/dev/block/mmcblk0p2". Then I went to the SD card and deleted the disable key file. Rebooted. Opened the shell and "/dev/block/mmcblk0p2" is still there.

What am I missing? Should I just use SetCPU and ditch the Core idea?

[Fascinate General] jbrdr985:
I'm guessing it will get rid of root and all that? Do I have to disable voodoo first?
[Fascinate General] blazingwolf:
I would say yes to that. It would cause issues with the different formats.
[Fascinate General] jrmars07:
Personally I'd deny the OTA and just wait for a rom to come out
[Fascinate General] ksizzle9:
Yes u will lose root, I suspect the root methods out now would work on 2.2 so no biggie. Also yes if u don't remove voodoo u will likely get a nasty force close loop. And if u don't know what I'm talking about then u don't wanna know
[Fascinate General] Sgtmack:
I'm just going to sit here and drink beer to get ready.

I may run out of beer before froyo gets here though.:cool:

If you have changed any files, you will probably have to go back to stock to get an OTA update. I'm guessing we won't be the first to get 2.2, so cooked rom's will be out before the OTA drops. If not, they will be soon after.
[Fascinate General] Damien Nite:
I'm all for the alcohol to ease the wait, but for clarification since the Samsung Fascinate uses InnoPath Active Care - and searches now without any issue, wouldn't this mean that the OTA will not effect root?

Or am I just this new... its ok - I don't mind being out of the loop when I have ppl like you guys to help me through it.
[Fascinate General] magitues:
You will have to remove voodoo because it changes the file system.

Pretty easy, just create an empty file or folder in your voodoo directory on you sd card named Disable_Lagfix and then reboot. Haven't done it yet but it will take a long time, maybe 25 minutes.

All your bloatware will need to be installed as it was stock. So if you've removed/renamed any stock apps you'll need to put them back as they were.

The 2.2 ota should install now, and it's assumed you'll lose root.

Shouldn't be a big deal, but of course it will be for some.

There is also a voodoo uninstaller app.
[Fascinate General] jbrdr985:
I got that voodoo uninstaller thing from the development forum. It disables voodoo and I assume this is the same thing as removing it?
[Android Software Development] openmobster:
I would like to share a simple tutorial that covers the Android Activity component.

Its not as basic as a 'HelloWorld', but it covers some simple but useful getting started like usecases such as:

* Activity component callbacks during launching an App and quitting an App

* App State persistence across re-starts

* Activity component callbacks for Menu creation and event handling

* Navigation from the main screen of the Activity to another screen within the Activity

The tutorial with source code is available at: openmobster.blogspot.com/2010/10/android-activity-basics.html

Since I am new to this community I was not allowed to post the link, so I had to use a workaround. I hope this is not considered spam.

having had the mozart for a week I'm thinking of changing it to the samsung cause i'm not that happy with it :s

poor loudspeaker sound volume

dolby just seems to be pointless and not an improvment to sound

seems to have poor battery usage

havn't had a samsung version in my hand yet so can any comment on at least those 2 problems? is it worth the swap.

The screen on the sammy i'd probs prefer as its a lot more vivid (cant from a desire anyway to wp7) and the slightly bigger screen size and I can loose the camera and be happy with 5MP instead of 8MP.

But is the phone actualy better? any advice would be handy before I blow more money lol

[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
All the reviews I read stated that the Omina is better than the Mozart.

* Most HTC WP7 devices are known to have very weak batteries (sometimes 1.230mAh). The Omnia 7 has a 1.500mAh battery.

* The Omnia has a great S-AMOLED screen when the HTC only has a S-Lcd or even an old Lcd screen.

* Also the Omnia 7 has apparently a high quality camera and can take nice pictures or videos. The camera of the HTC is not that good.

* Speakers are always awful on most HTC phones, so the Omnia 7 can only be better.

I used to like HTC, but definitely the Omnia 7 is far far better ;)
