thanks for reply im using imac but do have access to pc computer not recogonising phone/sd card?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derhannes1983:
Which recovery ROM are you using?

I use ClockworkMod, which has the option to mount the SD card, even if the OS is not running. Maybe you could try to put another ROM to your SD card and try to install it after a wipe.

[Vibrant General] nearblack:
Alright my fellow Vibrant community, I need your input here.

My buddy is offering me a Nexus One in mint condition... for my Vibrant.

Now, here are the reasons I want to do it:

1. The amazing development that the Nexus has going. I mean, I was astonished that they had a myTouch port for the Nexus within days.

2. The nice build of the phone. We can't deny our phones are cheaply built, or at least feels that way.

3. Believe or not the screen. I love the sAMOLED, but it is just too hard on my eyes in dark environments.

4. And then little stuff like camera flash, trackball that changes colors with notifications, and the fact that the N1 literally is a collectors item.

There will be things I would miss such as the perfect size of the Vibrant's screen, the killer GPU, and I've also heard the N1's battery life isn't too great, but is there any reason I shouldn't do this?

I am not flaming the Vibrant, I just want your guys' thoughts on the whole situation.

What do you think?
[Vibrant General] Segnaro:
I'd do it, because the Nexus One is worth more money on ebay and craigslist. :cool:

When the Nexus S comes out it'll be easier to trade up.
[Vibrant General] All~G1:
Ultimately, it's your choice!

Depends what you want to do with the nexus with it being the current dev phone & all. I'm sure you know what's available to you on the vibrant & what it's capable of. But if the nexus $ is true, then the vibrant "maybe" get the goodness of the next gen dev phone...

Think about it. GL!
[Vibrant General] All~G1:
Not if a port, even partially, is possible.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
I have both and love them both,a lot. That said, all comes down to what you want. I like the size and display of the vibrant, but the nexus fits my hand like a glove.

The nexus is going to have gingerbread soon. Not any other phone can say that, currently.
[Vibrant General] nearblack:
how do the battery lives compares?

If I can get a decent battery life out of the Nexus, I think I might be done with the Vibrant :(:(:(
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
I actually think they are very similar (at least for me). I can't say I get better usage from one. I always have about 30% leftover at the end of my day, give or take depending on my day.

Looks like were gonna be getting something sweet soon :) Check out the tweet twitter.com/googlemobile

So, If this gets released to the Nexus One. How long untill we get an Evo port? Let's start guessing! I can't wait for this! :D
[EVO 4G General] SilverStone641:
Call me stupid, but what improvements would it bring us?
[EVO 4G General] Swayyy:
That's some crazy ass upload speed you have sir. As far as improvements, The updated base Android UI should be something to look forward to in itself. I am sure as well as numerous speed and stability tweaks and enchancements. Here i found this on the web..

Confirmed new features:

Support for WebM video playback

Improved copy–paste functionalities

Improved social networking features

Unconfirmed new features:

Android Market music store

Media streaming from PC library

Revamped UI

Support for bigger screens with up to Wide XGA (1366×768) resolution

New 3D Games support including new Marketplace area for gaming

Use of mksh for /system/bin/sh

Support for video calls

Support for WebP image files

Support for Google TV

If anyone esle has anything to add please feel free! I am curious to what else there may be...
[EVO 4G General] SilverStone641:
Hehehe, thanks! That was on my office T1 connection.

as far as the improvements, those seem fairly decent. i didn't realize they were gonna do a UI refresh. time for some research!:D
[EVO 4G General] derekwilkinson:
please have native 4g... please have native 4g...
[EVO 4G General] _MetalHead_:
How is that possible on a T1? T1 lines are max 1.544Mbps....
[EVO 4G General] Cy_n_ic:
Screen off animation. Very neat

sent from my custom painted black/gray evo
[EVO 4G General] scooter185:
i'm pretty sure youre confusing megabytes/second with megabits/second

granted my CS is a bit rusty
[EVO 4G General] _MetalHead_:
Nope, not confusing anything. A T1 line is 1.544 megabits both down and up. His speedtest cap shows 61.19 megabits down and 47.3 megabits up.
[EVO 4G General] sk63:
Nah, that's looks about right for T1. Docsis 3 cable or a fiber optic connection could easily do speeds up in that range.
[EVO 4G General] Swayyy:
I just saw a video of this... Its pretty awesome!
[EVO 4G General] skydeaner:
This gentleman speaks the truth.

T3/DS3 I'm sure they call it a t1 in his office because it is a Tier 1 network and they are ignorant (not calling them dumb or anything like that, just don't know any better, not meant to be an insult at all). Judging by the ping it is not docsis3 cable. Cable easily goes this fast finally, lol, but pings are much higher, 40's maybe.

oh yeah and on topic, WOOT for html5 video and images.

And woot for sense-like copying and pasting lol, not that we've been missing out.
[EVO 4G General] SilverStone641:
Lol! you guys are all right. i'm thinking of our old connection. we just recently upgraded to a Cogent fiber line. My bad!
[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
Man I would love to play COD on a 3ms ping O_O
[EVO 4G General] Nrre:
this^ so hard, haha.

make counterstrike, world of warcraft, league of legends...diablo2? lol yeah. could only image 3ms latency on those.
[EVO 4G General] drksilenc:
... that speed test server is less than 50 mi away thats why his ping is 3 ms. they are prbly on a tier 2 connection thats why the ping is so low because it doesnt have to travel through 6 different dns pools to get to the speed test server
[EVO 4G General] postwick:
that was "back in the day." T1 is really just a name for a type of circuit. back then a T1 was 1.544Mbit, but these days they are faster.
[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
When I test my speeds on speedtest (with the closest server), I get 120ms or so. And same ping on almost all COD servers.
[EVO 4G General] hackulous:
So back on topic for a second when is gingerbread being released or at least the sdk

studies show that most computer errors are actually iD10t errors in over 90% of all cases.
[EVO 4G General] Klk450:
So back to the topic, I been reading that we could see gingerbread as soon as Christmas. I just hope the update for the Evo won't be to far behind!! I'm also looking forward to Google releasing it's own OS without the other companies twiking the phones.
[EVO 4G General] hackulous:
That sounds reasonable but I expect the official update to gingerbread will be very far away if ever

studies show that most computer errors are actually iD10t errors in over 90% of all cases.

Basic Cable INternet

Im using basic Cable Internet and im downloading at 12MBPS so.. that thing about T1 being 1.544 MBPS is not true at all.. maybe back in the day when AOL was the the talk of the Town
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
I keep seeing this thread and getting my hopes up that they have announced something new lol
[EVO 4G General] TorxT3D:
this is me when gingerbread comes out

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXasCjUTNpE
[EVO 4G General] _MetalHead_:
The fact that your cable downloads at 12 (mine does anywhere from 20-30) has nothing to do with how fast a T1 line is. After all these years, the maximum speed of a T1 is still 1.544 Mbits. If it's faster than 1.544 it is NOT a T1 line.
[EVO 4G General] BrianDigital:
who cares wheres gingerbread
[EVO 4G General] Cy_n_ic:
Someone please make a stupid speed test thread, i would but i just dont care. Its getting out of hand.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 94tbird:
Ok. I just got my EVO Tuesday and while I cannot confirm for sure that i had 3.30 to begin with I am pretty sure I did.

Not knowing that the guide i was following to root the device was for an older version I attempted to root, and bricked the phone. I managed to restore the phone using "RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.29.651.5_Radio_2.15.00.09.01_NV_1.77_CNV_release_150224_signed.exe" and I was back to normal....or so i thought

Now the camera/camcorder does not work. I am assuming that my phone was 3.30 and the 3.29.651 I am on now doesnt speak to the camera the same way. It was rumored the 3.30 builds had camera fixes so this makes sense.

Here are my actual questions, with number 1 being the biggest and most important to me at the moment:

1. How do i get back to the 3.30 version the phone came with? IS there a RUU similar to what i used for 3.29 to restore the phone? Where can i get this?

2. If i cant get back to 3.30, is there any way to fix the camera?

3. How can I successfully root 3.29.651? Ive tried every guide i have found here, unrevoked 3, and the one touch rooter programs, but none seem to work. They all fail applying the radio image with FAIL-PU

I appreciate any support and thanks in advance to everyone who can help
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luckylui:
Is it a 0004 hardware?? If it is then it came w 3.30 pre installed. Idk how another rom can break the cam i think its the kernel that plays a roll w the cam.. i could be wrongg tho.

I just replaced my busted EVO for a new one. Has the new 3.30 in it, hardware is 003. After rooting I lost camera/video due to the PC36IMG I had used while rooting. I installed Myns Warm 2.2 rev3 and got camera/video back, so far that's the only one I can get it on. Just for SnG's I changed out kernels to Kings, and sure enough lost camera and vid. Reflashed 2point2 rev3 with stock HTC kernel and back to working cam. Hopefully this will help. I haven't tried Sprint Lovers yet, but I would imagine it would work the same as Myn's. Any other rom I have run (MIUI _CM6.1) no camera again.

After installing the Obsidian v2 I have had issues with transferring files. I have a Mac OS, I am able to mount my phone no problem, just like I have in the past.

However, now that I try to move files on and off my computer and phone I am getting Error Reports like below, and not letting me do anything. I have Fixed Permissions, Wiped Cache Partition, Wiped Dalvik Partition and still not working. Any one have any ideas? And don't post foolish things like for me to get a PC.

The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “Vibrant_AOSPish_JK2_v1.1.zip” can’t be read or written.

(Error code -36)

*This does this for ALL files not just the above mentioned.

As a temporary fix try wifi file explorer in the market, if you have a router. It costs a dollar but allows you to transfer files over you wifi, through your internet browser.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funeralthirst:
you could try something like ubuntu live cd. you don't have to actually install the os. when win7 was giving me the same problem, ubuntu worked just fine.

or you can download a new rom directly to your phone.

[Android Software Development] signal15:
Just wondering how I open a URL from within an app?

I'm just getting started with Android development, and was going to modify the Hello, Android app to just display a button that I press to open a URL. Here's the thing though, the URL might not be HTTP. It could be ftp, rtsp, or any other protocol. I was just going to hard code the URL into the app.

I assume when I try to open one of these, if a program that handles them is installed and registered, it will just pass that URL to the appropriate place.

Any ideas what the code section would look like to display a button and then open a URL when pressed?

[Fascinate General] italysfinest327:
Im currently in the market for an android device ( coming from a blackberry) and have my eyes on the fascinate. Im not too crazy for the touchwiz ui, and would consider a rom over launcher pro. I see all the posts with these custom roms, but was wondering if anyone could post some videos or some pics of the roms in action. Are they visually different from stock or are the modifications under the hood? Just trying to get a sense of what im getting myself into before i make the purchase, thanks in advance.
[Fascinate General] spyd3r05:
Not going to try to make video's however yes... you can use all sorts of interfaces... check adw launcher and launcherpro as two examples...
[Fascinate General] plvaulter06:
well, I shot a video. But I can't post the link because it says I might be putting spam up haha. I'll send you a PM with the link
[Fascinate General] pkopalek:
You don't need a custom rom to use launcher pro or adw. In fact, most "custom roms" for this phone are all sets of modifications you can do with your stock ROM. Until Froyo and Cyanogenmod are on track for this phone, don't get too excited about ROMs.
[Fascinate General] italysfinest327:
I appreciate the replies, plvaulter i clicked on the link u pmed me but said video was removed by user. So essentially these roms are modified to remove verizons bloatware, give increase in speed, etc.. Coming from a blackberry with hyrbids which are files from different models pieced together to fix certain bugs, Is it safe to say these roms are comparable to BB Hybrids? Oh and if so i just saw on engadget the epics 2.2 was leaked does than mean fascinate devs can create a rom based of the leak?
[Vibrant General] Xencer:
So what if we swapped the antennas with the antenna from the epic 4g into the vibrant?

T-mobile vibrant 4-g!!!

Humor me.. :cool:
[Vibrant General] funeralthirst:
except then you'd have to use sprint's ****ty network. which is as much '4g' as t-mob's hspa+.

a g2 radio on the other hand....
[Vibrant General] Chalup:
Except different networks different technology.... actually you have a good idea. Pull out the antenna from the vibrant, then duct tape the epic internals in its place
[Vibrant General] jvictor5050:
What if I pulled it out of my G2 and put it in my Vibrant?
[Vibrant General] Chalup:
Of course, just get industrial strength duct tape. Or any solder will do
[Vibrant General] AlexSochi8:
wait so we can just change the antennas without messing with software?... So we can take or buy a mt4g antenna solder it on in our vibrant and will get hspa+ speeds?
[Vibrant General] oka1:
you are not making any sense

you are not making any sense inside is a wire for an antenna about 4-5 inches long. The antenna isn't the problem. it would be the radio and how the algorithm is configured to see the signal. The real benefit is in the latency improvement between station to station. So, in theory. the vibby should be able to have its software and radio reconfigured to accept the faster signal. Bear in mind My signal where I live is 3-4mb down and 1.5-2mb up. That is fast enough to do almost anything. So where you live and what kind of and how new the towers are around is probably going bear heavily on speed regardless of the phone.
[Vibrant General] Chalup:
Say what you will--I'm still duct taping a G2 antenna into my Vibrant. If it works well then I'll get a soldering iron from Radio Shack and go to town on this 3G suckah.

I'd at least use red loctite, too. Just to be safe. Don't forget to super glue a corvette decal somewhere, otherwise your idea won't work
[Vibrant General] Xencer:
Haha, guys it was just speculation. I figured that the radio could be flashed but I didn't know if the antenna's had different chips which allowed them to connect to hspa+ or not. Just some thought that popped into my head.
[Vibrant General] PolishDude:
Was this topic serious? Lol
[Vibrant General] trackwhore06:

[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
Are you people playing dumb or are actually dumb?

Just replacing a antenna won't do crap but make you unable to recieve ANY network at all.

All carries have their own type of antennas, and there are other things used to support and make them work.

Its like me saying i'm going to take out the CPU of my vibrant, and put it in my iphone 4 to make it faster.

IT JUST ISNT POSSIBLE UNLESS IF YOU REPLACE TONS OF OTHER THINGS AS WELL.

I think I'm going to plug my digital camera into my vibrant via a USB hub and use it as my front facing camera. It should work, right?
