[Vibrant General] swehes:
Did you make sure you had the Samsung USB Driver for the Vibrant? If you don't Odin won't recognize your phone. Also important to have a newer version of Odin. Like I have 1.7. And last as Odin is a little troublesome, you should have Odin up and running before you connect your phone. Read the Bible in the Dev section for links. :)
[Vibrant General] YatimaMeiji:
1) Could be a dud, it happens

2) When I first got my Vibrant, it boots up so fast. Its because there are hardly any apps installed that as part of the boot up process, go and check on. I think it has to do with the cache, because once you load it up with apps, the time it takes to get to the home screen is noticeably longer.

Also ShopSavvy is a bit wonky with the gps, so I disabled that setting in the app. But my though is you might have a bad app installed or something funky on the internal/sd memory that its fighting with. I'd say as something to just try for kicks, backup everything, copy memory to your pc, wipe the memory and do a factory reset(You could odin to stock, but you'll lose the Sims app). If things work, slowly add your apps back in.

As for gps, yes before the update it just wouldn't lock or would take forever, but still not be very accurate. After the update(but then also after alot of flashing different roms, then finally just going back to stock), gps works like a champ. But I would also point out that gps is vulnerable to several things. Don't place the phone near any large metal or magnetic object, this will throw the compass off. And always try to have a clear view of the sky, without being in a 'canyon' of buildings. The buildings distort the signal(which in the case of gps is just a signal that tells the time) and can throw off the reading(which is where the a in agps is supposed to come in).
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UMID1993:
I bought this HD7 off of craigslist, i was checking it out and everything seemed fine, it was brand new.. no box or anything, just the phone..

until i go home and realize this phone is in demo mode!.

the phone is fully functional, except for the Windows live E-Mail. And the screen doesnt stay off, it turns on after a couple of minutes and goes to a demo screen showing off the phone.

Wtf! can someone help?.

this douche sold me a stolen demo phone, i called him and he said its bc the phone isnt released yet, and once it is, it should be fine.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Iridox:
Plug it into your Zune software and see if you can run updates on it or do a hard reset

[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UMID1993:
I tryed, it says there's no updates available. And there's a email stuck in the phone, something@hotmail.com..

How do you hard reset?.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adesonic:
Hold both vol up and vol down and press the power button hard resets.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UMID1993:
It lets me reset it, but it boots back up with dome fake contacts, emails, messages , and does the same thing.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brummiesteven:
It sounds like the software on the phone is purely for Demo.

What you would need to do is flash it with software that comes with a Normal HD7 and for now, I don't think that's possible.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablos991:
Thats why I am very skeptical of deals on craigslist.

Why else would they have no box, charger or anything else a week after release?

Theft, demo unit, and/or scam...
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UMID1993:
How do i flash roms onto this phone?, sorry im new to windows, i came from a captivate..

Yeah craigslist sucks eggs, bunch of junkies on there lol. It just caught my eye, and i wanted it.

can you upload your tmoUS rom for me and explain how to flash it?!

i'd appreciate it alot..

THANKS!
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blueightytwo:
I bought mine on ebay and I got a demo rom too. IM PISSED. I found a rom for tmobile specific but there are no instructions on how to flash these things. If they came with demo roms is it still the real deal?
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ace10134:
Guys, RETURN your phone, demand your money back. Otherwise, you're out of luck. You got scammed.

There's no way to flash ROM's on these phones. Maybe in a month or two there *might* be a way to flash them, but WP7 may also never be flashable.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sutt359:
To flash a HD7 you need to stick it into boot loader mode ( turn the phone off, hold down the vol down button and at the same time turn it on.) Then connect it to the pc make sure you have the Zune software installed and windows should find the correct driver.

Try and flash the network rom I think the US is tmobile and the UK one is O2 you could try the HTC rom you may be lucky.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwill:
Yeah, go to the HD 7 rom development thread and there are original carrier roms. I believe those are the ONLY thing that will flash to your phone. I swear I read someone with the same problem (demo software) and that's how they fixed it. Good luck.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lawliett:
Hi, I installed OCLF 2.2 on my galaxy s i9000 about 2 weeks ago. I'm running jm9 with the galassia theme. I was thinking of taking of the 2.2 OCLF in my phone but when I go into the app, it says that I cannot apply it or unapply it. Furthermore, the only option I really have is to unroot my device (excluding the alter minfree, restore boot animation, change scheduler, install font, wifi timeout and check free space things which don't help). Could it be the file change in the framework that has altered this? if so, should I revert back to the original theme?

Thanks, Lawliett

Thread closed. Question re-asked in proper thread
[Droid X General] bigbadpete:
I've got a Droid X running the stock OS; haven't rooted it or installed anything except a few apps from the store. Lately, the screen lock hasn't been very reliable.

I work in a lab where we're not allowed to have cell phones, so they all sit in a metal cabinet outside the room. I put it in airplane mode to keep from draining the battery, and I use the screen lock with a 2 min. timer and a PIN in case someone decides they want to fool with it while I'm working. The last couple days, sometimes when I wake the phone up after letting it sit awhile, it'll take me right to the last screen it was on without requiring the PIN to be input. Rebooting the phone doesn't seem to help.

Anyone else seen this?
[Droid X General] zehkaiser:
Did you do a factory reset after upgrading to 2.2? Solves a lot of problems...
[Droid X General] bigbadpete:
I got the phone with 2.2 already installed. You think it would be worth trying anyway?

Hey this is the first time I'm on the site as well as with this phone. My friend gave it to me as a gift and like the title stated I'm stuck on a red green blue white screen. On top of all the color it says "security unlocked" and in the red it says "KAIS1*0 MFG, SPL-1.0.OLiPof, CPLD-8". Is there anyway I can fix this? Please no bad comment cause like I said Im new at this I found this site threw google and seen solutions for bootloader issues not "security unlocked". Thanks

In just about two days the WP7 is coming out. Who all is planning on getting one Monday?
[Focus General] vermelo:
Maybe just to get some free Katy Perry tickets (im currently in nyc but dont live here). :D

Anyways it would be nice to get it ASAP since my current wm 6.5 is falling apart. The FB app stop working and now the AP too.

Also everyday it gets more slugish and bugy etc. I'm tired of it. :o
[Focus General] ericc191:
I think the Focus will have a very nice display, but not sure about the plastic exterior. I'll be getting a Venue Pro, but that's also because I'm with T-Mobile. So my only choices are HD7 and VP. HTC has been cutting too many corners this time, so they will not be getting my money until higher quality phones start getting produced by them again.
[Focus General] xhamoodx:
i'm on t mobile too but since i'm 90% of the time have wifi so i'm probably going to wait and get the focus if it can be unlocked or the venue pro

Getting the phone yet bummed my 32GB Mico SD has been delayed shipping from an Amazon supplier. Wanted to load the phone right off the bat with maximum memory too.

[Focus General] Ren13B:
Ill have one Monday or possibly Sunday since that's when the AT&T stores actually get the phones. The guy at the store said he would call me Sunday when the phones arrive but I have my doubts.
[Focus General] dmystic1:
I'm leaving sprint and HTC evo to try one out.
[Focus General] ryotgz:
Strange they would get them on Sunday. Didn't know there were companies that did deliveries on Sunday. I went to the local Best Buy mobile yesterday and they already had the Surround. He hadn't even heard of the Focus.
[Focus General] dougp.me:
I'll chime in on that - I plan on being there first thing Monday, but I will call tomorrow to see if they'll sell early. I've been calling since Thursday since that's when the Captivate was being sold early, but they've been pretty adamant about not selling these early. When I did call, they mentioned I could pick it up on Sunday, but when I went into the store today, both the regional manager and store manager said I'd have to wait. I'll just call tomorrow and see who's working :D
[Focus General] ryotgz:
I called one of the stores today and they had the Focus but wouldn't sell. Dropped by Best Buy and they showed me the Surrounds, but they didn't even know when they would get the Focus. Sucks because I think I could have one if they had them. I'll try to get one from a retail AT&T tomorrow. If not, I'm going to be late for work Monday ;)
[Focus General] rkorzuch:
Does anyone know what GPS chip is getting put in this phone. If it is the same one that they put in their Galaxy S phones I'm going to have to pass. I have a Captivate and the GPS is worthless.
[Focus General] ryotgz:
I've seen a lot of people concerned about that as well. All the reviews I've seen said it's much better than the Galaxy phones. So I assume its a different chipset or better drivers.
[Focus General] dougp.me:
I believe it's different also since this hardware is completely different that the SGS phones. Also, Bill Gates is using it, so I'd assume it'd work or he'd be on a different phone :D
[Focus General] kbanes:
Just got mine...

Just home from the AT&T store.

Got a $100 "loyalty" discount, a 20% percent discount on the 32 gig memory card, (final price of $110) and 2 usb cords. Total cost out the door is $248.

The salespeople in the store knew nothing about the phone. They were asking me questions about it.

I was the first person to ask for one today.

[Focus General] rexian:
^^ So, they didn't wait for the 8th? How long have you been with AT&T? Let us know how you find it.

I think ill wait for the Quantum. My XDA At&t brothers look at us all gather around anticipating these devices lol.
[Focus General] dougp.me:
I'm guessing he got lucky - I called 3 stores today, and none would give it out today. This includes the primary AT&T store in Houston.
[Focus General] eknutson:
Yep, I was even given a time tomorrow that they'll be allowed to give them out - 3 p.m. Not sure if I buy that, but he did say I was the only person who even asked ;)
[Focus General] kbanes:
They didn't act like it was any big deal. I asked for one, and he just went into the back of the store and got it.

I had gone in last Wednesday to ask if they had the approved microsd card, and they said that they didn't have anything in the store yet, but that I could come in on Sunday and pick up the phone.

I'm having trouble with Zune. I can't get Zune to see the phone when I plug it into the computer. I don't know if it is because I already have a Zune 80 assigned to the computer or not.

Other than that, it is pretty snazzy.

I've been with AT&T for several years. 10 maybe? They weren't AT&T at the time...
[Focus General] lavike:
Hey Kbanes,

What type of micro SDHC card did ATT sell you?
[Focus General] ryotgz:
I called around to three stores today. It seemed like the employees that didn't know anything about the phone would have sold it. But as soon as they ask their manager where they were stored, "we can't sell them until tomorrow".
[Focus General] ryotgz:
Also, do you have a FAN account? Where you get a discount through your employer or anything? That's typically where the 20% comes into play. Would be nice to get the $100 discount, but I'm not holding my breath.
[Focus General] A Dustman:
I'll be getting one as soon as I know they can be unlocked for use on other carriers
[Focus General] kbanes:
Yes, i do have a FAN account, and I would guess that is where the discount on the accessories came from. However, on the $100 phone discount, I specifically asked if this was a part of the FAN discount, and the saleman confirmed that it had nothing to do with the FAN program. He said that it was because I had completed my previous contact.

I've looked at my receipt, and it does not specify the reason for the in-store rebate.
[Focus General] ryotgz:
Think I found where the $100 comes from: AT&T Upgrade Advantage
[Focus General] kbanes:
Answers to a couple of previous questions

The microSD card purchased at AT&T was a class 2 Sandisk 32 GB card.

I intended to buy a class 6 card, but given all of the discussion on which cards would and would not work, I decided I would by from AT&T. At least that way, if it caused a problem, I could force the issue back onto at&t. Otherwise, I was afraid that they might try to tell me that it was my problem since I didn't buy the recommended card. The 20% off eased the blow a little.

I fired up GPS on the way to work this morning, using the standard Maps application. It locked on pretty quickly (less than 10 seconds?), but the app is pretty sparse. I will probably try Bing maps at lunch, if I can remember.
[Focus General] aNdroidnut:
Just got back from the att store and my windows phone 7 experience was decent. Although I am sticking with android, I can say that in the future windows phone 7 will def replace and Iphone thoughts I have. I really liked the focus's screen(captivate) but the hardware looked cheap. The htc surround did not impress me at all. Overall I think this ui will def compete with apple fans as it is simple and smooth. Now windows just needs to create a new following and they will be on the right path with this overhaul. The only thing I wonder about the ui is how people are going to change it and incorporate new things. Like I said the phone and ui are awesome but I feel like you would get bored overtime.
[Focus General] kbanes:
Its all about apps...

...and Microsoft knew this from the start. If they can get enough developers making apps, they will get and keep a decent share of the market. Not huge, but decent.

I'm not a big app user, and the only thing that I'm really missing is a Kindle or Nook ereader. Other than that, I'm pretty much ready to go.

All I really do with my phone (other than phone calls) is read books and listen to music/podcasts. Zune handles my music/podcasts, and Kindle will be arriving soon as my ereader.

BTW, I've neen out and around since 7:00 this morning, using my phone a decent amount of time, and it looks like I have about 70% of battery left. I have done some wi-fi, and been on bluetooth since about 8:00. So far so good.

[Focus General] enjoythemusic:
Got the Focus, first one at the store, and am truly impressed with the smoothness of operation and speed. i can see the active tiles being excellent for fast access to information. The same with making a part of a web page as a tile. The hardware has far more capability than is being offered, yet software downloads and apps can solve that over the coming week/months.

So far i am very impressed and already tried a few basic apps like stocks, Last.fm, weather, QR Code reader, etc. Sure the Focus is lightweight physically (and this is a great thing), as some of us are on our 10+ cell phone and remember using the Motorola 8000H due to it being far smaller and lighter than th 5W bag phone of the time.
[Focus General] ryotgz:
Got my focus as well. Everyone at work loves it so far (even the iPhone users). Great screen and the size of the phone is great. I can hardly tell its in my pocket (at least compared to my Tilt 2). I need to get a full charge to see how long the battery will last. So far so good!

The more i use the Samsung Focus, the more i am diggin' it! Am so glad it is lightweight and things really work well too thanks to the OS. Used the camera with QR Code reader app and worked perfectly! Also like that the ringer and speaker can be quiet or can get LOUD as sometimes my environment is a bit on the high SPL (volume) side. Have a feeling HTC lost a customer for life as Samsung has me sold.

Oh well, I decided to bite the bullet and buy a unlock code.
[Focus General] Ren13B:
My local AT&T store only ordered 2 WP7 phones for their store. One was the Samsung Focus which I asked them to order for me and the other was the HTC Surround. The sales person kept talking about how great his Android phone was and he knew nothing about WP7 at all.

The screen on this phone looks amazing and everything runs smooth and fast. It feels a little light and the materials feel cheap but for $199 I can look past that.
[Focus General] markgamber:
Since I bought an iPhone 4 I had to buy a Focus at full price but I did buy one and I have 30 days to return it. If I keep it, it shouldn't be too difficult to recoup most of that by selling the iPhone.

Anyway, my first impression has been pretty good. I was concerned about it feeling cheap compared to the iPhone and while there is a lot of plastic, there hasn't been any creaking and it feels solid but not like a brick like the iPhone 4.

The system leaves a little to be desired but that was expected. My favorite iPhone app is Slingplayer. I use it constantly and, the way Sling Media operates, I figured I'd be waiting FOREVER for a WP version of Slingplayer. But NO, I bought it last night and it's on the phone! That's when I discovered that it's not like the iPhone version that complains about your box not being supported but plays the stream anyway. Nope....this one REQUIRES you to have a "modern" Slingbox, the old classic is dead weight. So that's on order. I'm also kind of bummed there's no decent IM application like Beejive or IM+ yet but I can't imagine it'll be that way for long.

The big unknown is who is going to do what when there's a problem. I gave up on Windows Mobile a while back because of the abysmal support from all sides. Bugs are inevitable and when one cropped up, you have no idea if it was ever going to be fixed and, if it was fixed, if you'd ever get the update. It *really* pissed me off to see an update on HTC's site that I couldn't use because I had an AT&T phone (never mind it was made by HTC) so I wasn't eligible. And it sucked pretty hard that HTC apparently decided that every phone got one update in it's lifetime. One. Period. If it a bug was discovered that caused the phone to fission and wipe out a city, HTC, Microsoft and the carrier would all spend a few months pointing fingers at each other until one finally implied that the "fix" was to buy their latest and greatest. Screw that. This will be my first and last WP phone if Microsoft, the carrier and manufacturer want to continue playing that pathetic game. The upside is that I've read Microsoft is responsible for updates and fixes so hopefully the lame finger pointing is a thing of the past.

29 days left and so far so good!
[Focus General] :
What did you pay for the full price on your Focus? Like you, I'm on an iPhone 4, and have to pick one up without the contract discount. I'm wondering what the best price around is...
[Focus General] markgamber:
$527 with tax. Pricey, yes, but I can recoup most of that selling the iPhone if I decide to keep the Focus. It's pretty amazing how much some people will pay for an iPhone.
[Focus General] ryotgz:
I'm glad you mentioned that. I have a Slingbox A/V and always ignored the "warning" about the older box not being supported. Guess I won't be buying this version of SlingPlayer.
