I also have a Vibrant but so far the Tab's screen has very good so far. I've only had it for less than a day but I can say it's at least not strikingly apparent.
[Galaxy Tab General] Picea:
I have both Galaxy S and Tab.

Side by side, S has better screen. Black is really black because of the amoled technic and the overall contrast is better.

But Tab has also very good screen, it is excellent. If there wasn't the S to compare, I couldn't imagine any better.

[Epic 4G General] dfe002:
I was wondering if anyone had the speaker for the epic. Mine blew and now it sounds like crap listening to music. I talked to Samsung and they said they'd fix it and it'd take about a week. But as of now my warranty is void,rooted and custom rom, I have a pretty good idea on how to replace it. But now I need the speaker. I tried a few places to no avail. So now I am on a quest to find one. Any help would be awesome!
[Epic 4G General] k0nane:
Odin back to stock, and there will be no trace of a custom anything. Then take it in to a Sprint store, they'll order a new phone and have it for you in 2-3 days.
[Epic 4G General] dfe002:
Thanks, I'll stop by sprint tomorrow and see. If all else fails I crack this baby open and fix it my self. After looking at an exploded view it looks pretty simple to get too.
[Epic 4G General] k0nane:
Odin first! And even if Sprint *****es, go through Samsung. You have a warranty, the part failed because of a manufacturing defect, you're entitled to a free repair. Never give up!
[Epic 4G General] dfe002:
OK. I'll try to go the warranty route. Imma tinker, I don't know the software part of androids and cell phones, but the hardware I can figure out! So I try to mess with them some times.

[Epic 4G General] Xerloq:
Sprint repair centers have the part. They switched mine in about 30 minutes. I didn't even have to give my passcode - just played some music from pandora and made a speaker phone call to show it was busted.
[Epic 4G General] entropism:
If you have insurance, it's a free repair. If you don't have insurance, it's $35 and probably shipped to the store, you keep your old device until it comes in (1-2 days) and then swap it out when it arrives UPS.

k0nane, check your PMs as well...

VIP Call List?

First, thanks OP for posting this. Seems to work great. Long pressing on a contact brings up options which includes "add to VIP list". When I select it a pop-up says that the contact has been added to the VIP call list. What does this actually do? I didn't notice anything different after adding a few people to it.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] franky1029:
you need my favs on your T-Mobile account. they dont offer it anymore ...
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] .A.J.:
Thank you for replying. I have MyFaves on my account. I just never used a MyFaves app. before and I never payed attention to MyFaves because I have an unlimited minutes plan.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] bonez537:
If you still have a my faves account.. THEN you need need to get a google voice number.. and put that as one of your faves.. and you will never use your minutes up..
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] twieder:
Not true, the new google voice app sets up a new number for each person you call or text.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] dilfatx:
It was posted sometime back that tmobile has already address that issue and thus fixed it... no more free minutes.

I have myfaves and google voice... I have been trying to do that but the tmobile site will not allow me to edit my myfaves anymore.. need to call them and have them change/edit myfaves over the phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] dilfatx:
This is not the myfaves app we all know.. its just an app that puts contacts you choose together for easy access.. it shares same name as myfaves that you have 5 ppl you can call for free. I extracted the real myfaves apk but will not work on my G2 even though I do have a myfaves account.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] .A.J.:
You should still be able to get the MyFaves unlimited minutes to contacts through google voice but without using the Voice app. You have to actually call your google voice number and then use the menu to place a call (a pain but should still work).

That's weird because I just Edited my MyFaves on their website last night. I took my Google voice number off and added a different one (on unlimited minutes plan).

I got this last night as I was expecting to only be able to add the five numbers I already had chosen and could clearly add more.

So by any chance does anyone know what the

VIP call list

feature is or does?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] dilfatx:
When I looked at the rom I extracted both apks.. one read faves.apk (which is the same one posted here on this thread but has been around the forum for few weeks now) and another apk titled myfaves.apk I tried both and only one worked wich was the faves.apk, the myfaves.apk didn't work and said something about network issue.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] havikx:
so... this is not the myfaves app? ok...cuz i really dont see a need for that app.

Faves is what? like a secondary contacts list of just people you call most/ choose whos on list?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] joemm:
Exactly, just like a secondary contact list. Choose who's on the list, comes with diffrent views to list, thumbnail or coverflow type.

I've saved a ton of money using the Coupon App. Youtube ripper is great for saving vids to phone, subsonic lets you tap your home music resources from phone, ROM Buddy is great for your emulator needs.

So, I had this awesome phone call recording software on my Touch Pro 2.. Recorded every call I made and converted it to MP3.. I used it multiple times...

1.) in proving to warranty techs that I had followed the guidelines I had been told on the phone

2.) when I stopped paying attention to what my girl was saying, i could always review what she had been screaming at me about later.

3.) If I was getting info, I would never need to write it down, as I could always just playback the call later and get the address/contact info/etc.

So, now I actually need to pay attention to what my girl is saying and carry a pen with me and have gotten screwed already by a technician... and I am not happy...

I saw that there is software already out for HTC: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/record-phone-calls-on-your-hero/

Is there anything like this for the Epic?

HOWTO: Change keymaps/update rootfs in neopeek ext2 buids

Today, I will show you how to change your phone keymaps (which buttons initiate different action) and fix wifi error in neopeek build (see bottom of post). Please read all instructions first before starting!!

Changing Keymaps

In the past,

-power button wake screen

-home button bring up menu

-center button is "enter"

-back button is back

-call initiate

-end button close screen

Updated ROOTFS contains:

-power button wake and close screen

-end button is end(can be change in spare parts hack)

-center button now menu

-home button is actually home button

If you're in linux, here are the steps:

1) plug in SD Card

2) Open ext2 partition

3) open init.etc folder

4) open keymaps folder

5) download latest rootfs here: http://files.xdandroid.com/rootfs/

; then download to desktop and rename to ROOTFS.IMG

6) mount with terminal, input these commands:

sudo mkdir ~/Desktop/ROOTFS
sudo mount -o loop ~/Desktop/ROOTFS.IMG

7) go to terminal and input:

sudo nautilus

8) with the augmented privileges file browser (the one you just opened), go to this directory: filesystem/home/<your user here>/Desktop/ROOTFS

9) Open init.etc in rootfs folder and then keymaps folder

10) copy all the files in keymaps folder to the directory /init.etc/keymaps on your ext2 partition.

Fixing Wifi Error

This also works if your wifi is not working after updating a kernel.

Replace contents of folder wifi (/init.ect/wifi) with one from latest rootfs..

I tested with an outdated build (SuperFroyo RC2) and it worked.

If you're in windows, see 3rd post!

Now you have new, updated keymaps (or fix wifi error) on your older rom!

Notice that newer neopeek ext2 roms have updated keymaps. If your android build already has the updated buttons, there is no need to update again.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] daeinnor:
Will try the procedure if for any reason I would decide to use builds other than frg83 RC5 where key map changes are already incorporated. Certainly very helpful for Android newbies like me.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Corias:
If you're in Windows, you can use Ext2fs driver (google it) and Gizmo Drive software.

Before work: Install driver and software

1. Plug in SD

2. Mount rootfs.img in Gizmo Drive (or use Explorer context menu on Vista/7)

3. Modify layouts or character maps in /init.etc/

4. Unmount drive

That's all!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] :

I tested with an outdated build (SuperFroyo RC2) and it worked.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Twabi2:
For those of you who have a seperate Ext2 partition and can therefor not modify the rootfs.img file, here's what to do:

1. Download Ext2Read

2. Extract the file Ext2Explore.exe somewhere. Right-click: "Run as administrator" (Vista/Windows 7)

3. You should now be able to browse the Ext2-partition on your device

You can then use Corias's instructions to mount a rootfs.img that you downloaded, for example to extract updated keymaps.

Ext2Read's the only software out of 3 that I tried (Ext2FSD, Ext2IFS and Ext2Read) that actually worked under Windows 7 and that managed to read the partition over USB.

I tested this using my pc running Windows 7 64bit and my Diamond (Diam100)

Hello guys! I am creating this thread in order to ask someone who knows better than me.. if there is a way to make Vodafone (which is the carrier i bought the phone from.. although its not branded.. ) change or repair my phone because i have numerous scratches on the screen, even though i was taking the atmost care in order to have it in good shape.

I suppose the warranty doesnt cover screen nor case scratches so does anyone have an idea how can i pull this out?

Ofcourse Ill have to put the original ROM in order to bring back everything to stock stuff... but im mostly interested if there is a way to just replace the screen and maybe even the case to get rid of the scratches..

Any idea is appreciated.. Thank you in advance :)

*note* I have no idea wether this is legal or illegal and im sorry in advance if i provke any Mod wrath upon me.. i did this purely for informational puproses and how to get the most advantage out of my 1 year warranty.. :cool:

Not a cat in hells chance of pulling that one off, it would be classed as wear and tear, this is why you should get a screen protector, they only cost a few pence ;) well worth it in my opinion, once their on you dont even notice them.

had one but it peeled off and i didnt bother buying another one afterwards.. my bad.. but i guess ill just have to wait till dust comes under the screen in order to change it...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myst1z:
Hi

I seem to experience this problem on all HD2s. I activated the phonelock on HD2 and used a simple PIN for unlocking it. When I'm in the LockScreen, keying my PIN, the phone goes to suspend mode (or it seems like it, since the screen just blacks out and i need to press the power button again to see the lockscreen) after about 13 sec, everytime. This phenomenon happens only when phone is using battery power. It works fine when running on external power.

Is there a way disable this issue, or extend the time it blacks out. I'm using the default WM6.5 rom 1.66.707.1

Please help, Thank you.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myst1z:
I have tried all the settings i can find on the phone. I even tried changing Registry values that might be related to the timeouts. but still the same.

The screen will black out even while you are typing, so this rules out all the timers that will suspend the phone when idle for too long.

Please help, as this is a big issue for me.

Thanks.
