[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darktranquility18:
Hey,

Trying to unlock my samsung vibrant to work with AT&T. Tried using the SGS unlock tool in the market but it says no codes found. do you have a galaxy s? :S

Weird. Anyways does anyone have the solution to this. Do i have to flash it to another firmware and/or root it then try again or is there a different method to go about doing this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K9Healer:
That occured to me when I flashed a different ROM. I honestly could not get one even after flashing back to j16...I managed to screw up the phone using ODIN at one point.So i ended up getting another under warranty.So I am now running rooted and unlocked j16 2.1 updated.I am done messing with it for now.That's just me.For now of course.Good luck.

If you haven't already heard, T-mobile is now officially offering a new tethering plan for $14.99 a month with a 5GB monthly cap I believe.....with another 5GB available for $30. For those of us with rooted devices, can we still continue doing this for free? I don't want to get a surprise in my bill for using USB tethering...
[G1 General] AdrianK:
And that's specifically for Android devices, right?

They wont know that you're tethering unless they notice some 'interesting' data use. As always, proceed with caution, but nothing's actually changed as far as I can tell.
[G1 General] creepinm3:
I was thinking the same thing when I saw that.. I called T-mobile and they said I do use "a significant amount of data" but I have the android unlimited web plan so they didn't mention anything about me having an increase on my bill $65 a month.
[Captivate General] johnny13oi:
Hey guys, I consistently have the Captivate screen displayed as consuming about 90% and up of the battery life in the Android settings menu. Is this odd? I have the screen at the lowest brightness setting too. I don't make many calls but I do browse the internet a lot.

I have also noticed pretty poor battery life. Do you think a new battery from eBay would help. The build date on my battery says July 7 2010. I just bought this phone on craigslist and love it minus the battery life and gps.
[Captivate General] JPS81:
No, that's normal. AMOLED screens use less power when displaying black pixels than normal TN or IPS screens but also consume more power when displaying non-black pixels.

So I guess if you stare at a black screen all day, it'll be more efficient. :(

If the pages you view have an option to change to a dark background, preferably completely black, do it. For instance I had all my e-book readers invert colors and it saved a lot of power.

New battery will likely not help. OEM batteries tend to be excellent.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bokis:
Hey, after i updated to 2.1 i attempted to restore alla my data I had previously saved with the built in SE Backup and restore. When I open my contactbook no contacts appear, if I click on Favorites though there are 6 contacs as it should be. If i go in to the message app all my messages are still there, with contact names and numbers displayed, even though my contactbook shows no contacts?? Sort of like the contacts are there but won't display...

Also no applications were saved =(

Did this happen to anyone else? Anyone got a fix?

Thanks in advance
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xarchitect:
Hey !! i believe that you must have used the old version of backup and restore !!

SE has released a new version of backup and restore, with backing up market application and stuff !!

well.. this info may not be of any use to u know as u are already in 2.1..

But as for me, who is still in 1.6, I downloaded the new backup and restore and installed in 1.6 it has got market backup, etc...

may be to all those who are going to update to 2.1 by using the flash method from XDA must use this to backup ...

And it is always nice and better to restart from ur phone once u finished the backup !! hehe just my advice !!!;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jark99:
Hello All, as many of you know i have had one of the famous bricked samsung galaxy i9000. Since Bell wont honour my proposal for returning my Cell phone with a receipt (not under my name), i have come to the conclusion that we need action. Below is a site i am going to contact, based out of toronto, if enough people call, we can get this "defective issue" known.

http://www.sse.gov.on.ca/mcs/en/Pages/Contact.aspx

I am also in the process of starting a petition but would like the help of people of this forum on to how to go about this.

We need to make Samsung honour their corporation competencies and aknowledge that not EVERYONE will be on contract with BELL. We must take action. I am requesting help from ALL those affected.

thanks

p.s. first way to start is to get the ministry of consumer electronics to acknowledge the defect and we shall start a petition.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mymanchris:
Another resource you may want to tap into is the Commissioner for Complaints for Telecommunications Services (http://www.ccts-cprst.ca/complaints/service-providers). They are a third party that attempt to resolve complaints against wireless providers.

Not sure if it applies to you, but take it for what it's worth.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] yiannisthegreek:
Count me in dude!!! Im tired of not being listened to about my issues with my $500.00 "not fit for purpose" phone!!!

I believe that we not just go after Bell but Samsung as well!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jark99:
thanks for the link, will be looking into that.

lets start small and see where we get. We need COMMUNITY SUPPORT, and i mean alot of people. 100 or more can be a good start.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xZeDgEx:
You have my support.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Uss_Defiant:
myself as well.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrewluecke:
I assume you are referring to the internal memory problem?

Why did they say they wont honor your warranty? You haven't really put much information here.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jark99:
I have the full receipt for my phone and everything, the phone was deactivated and the number is not in service. However, the only thing connected to the current user is a IMEI, which i had called the person who owned it, they didnt know english very well and wouldnt transfer the ownership to me.

This is a flaw in the system.

I am starting a petition to make Samsung and Bell aware that the first batch and alot of the I900m Bell devices have a Internal SD hardware problem. This is a defect, we have witnessed of up to 30% returns on these phones because of this defect alone.

The fact that Bell wont honour their warranty with samsung because of a simple (not having my name) on the receipt is trivial. I had a copy printed out. Samsung needs to recall these devices or at the very least acknowledge something here.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrewluecke:
30% failure? Where is that figure from?

And have you tried arguing with Bell for a repair? Or did they simply say no, and you gave up? Did you try to escalate?

By law, you should be able to go to your consumer affairs place anyway, and tell them that Bell wont accept your receipt. I don't think you need a petition.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] salmanslick:
Class action suit against "samsung" only.. Count me in tooo
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrewluecke:
By the way, when you say return, do you mean repair? Because by law in most countries, they don't have to offer refunds outside the first 2 weeks if the unit is faulty.

This thread needs a lot more details...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] elena11:
I am in also.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jark99:
i have the receipt but the purchaser of my phone was friend who has now moved to new york. I have no contact with him. And by law bell has to honour its warranty code of conduct, if there is a recepit available.

I am going back tommrow to talk to the http://www.bell.ca/shopping/en_CA_ON.Samsung-Galaxywith-Google/69236.details of the store, any tips or suggestions are welcome. I have read people have returned phones even WITHOUT a receipt...and look, oh i HAVE one.....interesting.

edit** the petition was for those who were unlucky and have been turned down by Bell because of no receipt.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrewluecke:
That didn't really answer anything.. If you have a receipt, argue with them again, or go consumer affairs, but their warranty code only likely covers REPAIRING!

Do you mean repair or return and where is that 30% failure figure from? By law, they don't need to refund you, unless you have tried replacing it a few times and the problem keeps reoccurring (and you can prove the product is seriously flawed).

I believe you mean repair, but "return" is ambiguous.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jark99:
according to Bell it was about 20%-30% of phones were brought back. That is why Samsung held off on the 2nd batch of shipments to fix the internal sd problem, and bells excuse was all the phones were sold out, when really there was a huge backorder.

thanks for clarifiying bud. I do mean Repair. I have the receipt and everything from the folks who bought the phone, the only problem is the receipt is not in MY name. however, i tried contacting the people who had orginally purchased the phone and they wont do anything for me. They dont speak english. So i am going today to argue with the manager of Bell at my mall and tell him that this is straight up bs. Becuase i have all of the required information, the account cancelled their service and got a new phone...ugh its just such a tight situation.

** as for the petition, if you would like your names on it, please inbox me Name, City, and COuntry you are residing in and i will add it. Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] householddog:
I don't know how these things work in Canada, but in Australia a petition is really not going to sway a legal argument. In fact it could prejudice a case, in some circumstances.

I suggest you take the matter up with Bell again. Then talk to Consumer Affairs yourself.

Shouldn't Samsung be your point of contact BTW? I would assume since you have no contract with Bell they should be absolved of any responsibility to service your phone.

In this case the manufacturer would be the people to contact. In 95% of the things I buy have a manufacturers warranty, not a retailers.

I wish you luck, but you really should pursue this on a private basis. If things don't work out then post up your experience. If the do work out then post up how you got around it.

BTW people don't give out your name and location to anybody on the net. I know Jark99 is 95% likel,y to be a nice chap, but giving out details like that is a bit silly.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jark99:
haha sorry about the "names" thing. I should have suspected that, i just wanted to make sure that we had a legit petition to force a class action law suit.

As for the manufacturers warranty, Apparently Samsung goes through Bell. But NOT really. Bell goes through a intermediary called Futuretec Solutions located in Toronto, Ontario. I have called samsung canada and they wont help me out at all. They keep saying "go to bell, go to bell." Well now im going to give bell a piece my mind, Bell is the only company to carry these phones, thus if there is a problem no one can go elsewhere. its bs. im pretty pissed off and going to show Bell that, yesterday i didnt, but today ill talk to the manager. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
get the class action or whatever you guys are trying to do up and going already, and count me in

got 2 phones still waiting to be repaired but can't because they wont allow it without the invoice, even when we offered to pay for the repairs
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jark99:
Attention:

To all who have a internal sd card error and have bought the phone around the release date or afterwards. If you dont have a orginal receipt, go to bell and try to find a service rep who looks kind of new. From there tell them you dont have the receipt and need they might be able to print you out one. I got mine printed out and i went to another Bell Store to get mine sent out even though the phone was NOT under my name. I think the only way to get peoples phones fixed is talking to the right people.

I contacted the Ministry of consumer electronics AND telecommunications services to file a complaint, but i cannot as i am not a BELL member. If anyone is a Bell member and has a 2nd hand phone you can call them to file a complaint, and theyll act as a intermediary between you and Bell. ill keep updating this thread as i find information

Ministry of Telecommunications Service Complaints department:

1-888-221-1687

[Galaxy S I9000 General] joedirt7:
I had a similar issue in that I wasn't with Bell but it was a Bell galaxy... being used with Rogers. The repair center they use only accepts shipments from the big companies apparently. Call samsung, give them your name, phone info etc and they'll open a case number for you. Go to bell and tell them samsung requested the phone back and give them the case number. Worked for me. Just got it back last night. Phone was bought at bell and is on rogers.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Pj66:
me too!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] haloimplant:
Good luck....

The very first line in the warranty: "SAMSUNG ... warrants to the original purchaser ..."

According to the terms Samsung is actually doing any second-hand buyer a favour if they perform warranty service for them.

Also it sounds like Bell would take the phone for repair if ownership was transferred properly with them?

It's just opera that isn't. I've tried the whole Opera:config thing and disabling auto connect box but nothing!

It doesn't bother me that much it's just i've always found opera mobile to be more fluent than IE!

I've seen other threads, but I didn't like the answers. If I am going to load CM6.1 RC1 tonight, when should I wipe battery stats?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martyzidek:
Great question. Was going to post this today as well. Since I got the extended battery yesterday from sprint.. so anyways I drained treatment battery instead of charging fully.. then I charged fully and did treatment HTC battery tweak.. then I wipe battery stats and turned on.. now will it fully charge my extended battery since I deleted stats and its been fully charge (I hope so.. 11 hours at 45%) and I drain it till its dead..?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pinoy724:
I wiped at full charge. Let it drain all the way until phone shuts down. Recharge fully (do not unplug).

I'm at 35% on 18h and 36m.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ms79723:
You'll know when you need to wipe battery stats because you'll see some wild sht. For example: if your battery is at 55% and you need to flash something. You go into recovery, flash it, reboot and your battery is now at 87%, you need to wipe. Its best to wipe when you flash a new rom or kernel; just to keep everything fresh.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HiddenKnight:
Follow this tip here, you may not need to do it every time.....but i recommend doing it maybe once every three times you flash a rom out. And if you restore, i would just wipe batt. stats at the same time of wipe data/factory reset.

:D

Should have clean battery label. But like another post said, to extended battery life....you may want to follow his tip too.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lehalter:
The only issue I have is, when you reset battery stats you have to boot into recovery, right? When booting into recovery it uses some battery, so it won't be fully charged anymore. Am I incorrect in this thinking?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HiddenKnight:
Its less battery power then you think, its not like a whole boot cycle off then off a few minutes later, so it will be fine.

Hey guys I am using the Captivate on EDGE only with Tmobile and was wondering if there is a way to increase the EDGE speeds. I saw on the G1 that they had a method of increasing the EDGE and 3G speeds and many saw a doubling of their EDGE speeds. That would be awesome if I could do the same with the Captivate. I love this phone so much I am willing to deal with the EDGE speeds. (I have TZones Unlimited Web which is incompatible with the Vibrant because Tmobile blocks all Android IMEI's sold by them on their cheaper plans.) Too bad IMEI related stuff is illegal. Otherwise Vibrant on Tmobile 3G would be absolutely amazing.
[Captivate General] Dave the Knave:
Simply put, the G1 is made for T-Mobile frequencies. The Captivate is made for AT&T frequencies. So no, it really isn't. What you have is what you get.
[Captivate General] johnny13oi:
I am not asking for 3G frequencies on the Captivate. The Captivate supports T-Mobile's EDGE network. What I am asking is if anyone knows the command to increase the amount of timeslots for EDGE (thus increasing throughput on EDGE). This was done on the G1 while used on AT&T so the same concept applies here. They went from like 140kbps to around 300kbps.

My N95 8GB can do about 250kbps easily without any mods on the EDGE network with T-mobile.
