Have you tried checking the VIBRANT DIRECTORY BIBLE which is stickied in this forum? That would be a good place to start rather than posting a non development question in the development forum.

There is a link titled *How to recover from a "soft brick" on your Vibrant and return to stock. (Phone ! PC error)...I would suggest checking it out.

I found out how to do it in the Q&A section, I think. But anyways, I figured out that its pretty hard to brick a vibrant phone, but I wouldn't mess around with it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d33dvb:
Had this same prob, go into download mode (power on holding power and both vol buttons while powering on, after second flash of logo, let go power) Then download stock JFD rom for ODIN. (If odin doesnt see you phone, then unplug and replug while in download mode) Flash the JFD rom via ODIN and your back in biz.

He is obviously freaking out a bit, we have all been there, cut him some slack people jesus.

ITS THE WRONG FORUM is such an asshole move when people are freaking out.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeromedeed:

[Windows Phone 7 General] Sledgeman:
All the reviews i've looked at, that shows the specs on this phone, says it's a 16M-color screen and sites that sell it online says the same thing. On LG's website it states 262k-color screen!? Sounds a bit poor!

Is it possible to see this information on the actual device? If it is, could someone please take a look and comment back here?
[Windows Phone 7 General] brummiesteven:
I don't know anything about the LG Optimus but it might be that the device supports 16M colours but Windows Phone 7 only supports 262k.

This was a problem back in the android days before 2.0
[Captivate General] woody1:
I have normalized the volume on all of my mp3 files using the MP3Gain application on my PC. This applies a factor to the file telling the music player how to adjust the volume for each mp3 so that they will all play at the same level. Otherwise, you get the problem that every mp3 starts at a different volume and you have constantly adjust the level.

Most well-designed music players will use the gain settings and make the level adjustment, but the stock music player on the Captivate seems to ignore the settings.

So, my questions are:

1. Does anybody know how to make the stock music player play nice with the gain settings?

2. Otherwise, does anybody know if there are other players which will use the gain settings.

Also, is the Captivate player a skinned version of the standard Android player? If so, does the standard player pay attention to the gain settings? If so, then maybe there's a hidden setting that will make it work on the Captivate. Anybody who's knowledgeable about this, please jump in.
[Captivate General] jarsonic:
It would be nice if an Android music player supported ReplayGain, yeah; I'm not sure if any do. It certainly would have to be a third-party music player. The only way to make the stock music player respect this would be to actually normalize the files instead of having ReplayGain tags. The downside, of course, if that this irreversibly changes the actual music files, themselves.
[Fascinate General] pkopalek:
So last night after 2am sometime, both my Droids experience this phenomenon. Can't load Facebook. Hmmm. Strange. Just hangs.

After it just worked an hour before, literally!

Ok, so I connect to wifi. Works like a charm. I think to myself, something with verizon right now or something.

I wake up the next morning (no wifi at home) and only a few sites will load. Dolphin's default home page, and any Google site.

Must be Adfree Android. I revert my hosts file. No luck. That would affect both wifi and 3g anyway, so that's not it!

These phones are on completely separate plans fwiw, one is for work.

So I boot into clockwork and backup the fascinate and do a data/factory wipe. Strange. Apparently that doesn't work on our phone. NONE of my apps or data (like my angry birds progress) are even missing. Nor my bookmarks.

BUT all web sites work now. What? I can't actually tell what clockwork's "factory data rest" even did. Because it sure didn't do what, as I understand, it's supposed to.

Does anyone have an idea, or at least know what clockwork wipes so that I can avoid this in the future, and/or fix it on my Eris?
[Fascinate General] shanky0506:
I had the same issue when I woke up this morning. All of a sudden the browser, Facebook, etc. just stopped working.

I ended up doing a factory wipe, as well as Odin reload of system, kernel and recovery, and all worked well.

Around 5:30, data went out again! I really have no idea what could have happened to cause this, but I am on Wifi now and am not seeing issues, so it seems like it may be a network problem.
[Fascinate General] shanky0506:
Interesting turn of events.

I reprogrammed my phone using the *228 number, option 2. After that, I had full data capabilities, including improved GPS.

We'll see how well this goes. Hopefully this is a permanent fix.

Hi,

After upgraded to 2.1, my X10 cannot login in Gmail app to activate Market. I have tried both 3G and Wifi but no success.

Does anyone have a hint ?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] albertorodast2007:
At last! a stable froyo build! (scoot's rls4) with a stable "yaffs ready" kernel (l1qu1d's 11-12-2010)

Installed both sys and data over nand, applied configurations, apps, widgets, powered off, rebooted, opened SIM compartiment, pulled out battery... everything i made and rebooted fine! I hope i'm not takilg to early.... gonna post results in a couple of hours....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] albertorodast2007:
talked to early.... reboots came back :(:(:(:(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] aceoyame:
The good news is it isnt due to YAFFS errors anymore from what i've seen, meaning it should be a simple fix.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] scooter1556:
Well, it might be if i could replicate any of the issues!!! I take it everyone who is posting issues in this forum has a kaiser??
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] albertorodast2007:
Yup, i have a 8925 tilt.... I have http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=837706no choise but to change the build, I'll use fat free rls5 and see how things go on.... :mad:

Edit: I don't like odexed builds cause i can't theme them! but.... its a smooth and snappy build! :D Scoot I think u're right, its something about ur release because I've got no freezes, fcs or reboots, for now, but as I always say (for experience ! :D ) maybe im talking too early.... I'll try it for a couple of hours and post results....

ok ok folowing aceoyame's advice, FYI:

Model: Att Tilt 8925

Build (for now): Fat free RLS5

Kernel: l1qu1d's 11-12-10

Instalation: Sys@NAND / Data@NAND

Apps i use a lot: gmail, facebook, ebuddy, music pro, google maps, xda app, os monitor, rogue tools, astro, OfficeSuite Pro, etc ( cant remember... they're a lot! LOL)

Widgets: SD share, power control, Weather Widget (stoled from warbyte's build! cause he made it work on landscape mode!), google search, music pro widget, facebook widget.

I had another question: when i boot, there's a line that says somethng like mount MD mtdblock3 or something and then: block "89" is bad is that normal???

Edit2: had a FC over system.android but this time it didnt reboot! I just pressed Force Close and system started up normally... Rebooted, FC on officesuite, astro and other apps where missing.... :confused::confused: Im so confused at this point... :D dunno whats causing the problem....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] scooter1556:
It's probably for the best, i wouldn't be using it either if it wasn't stable but luckily i have no issues. Like i said if i was getting the same issues it would be easier to solve.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] aceoyame:
That is the problem, both of the CM dev's are not experiencing the exact issues many people are referring to. I think if whoever was having the issues detailed what kernel they are using, how they installed and a time frame of when it happened and what apps are installed it would help a lot to figuring out whats going on.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] scooter1556:
Yep, that's normal, don't worry unless you get loads of them, i get 2 bad blocks at the minute but yaffs automatically doesn't use these.

The only other thing i will say is that i only use 1 home screen with no more then 2 widgets loaded because it saves a lot of ram, it can easily be a widget such as sd share causing the issue. It sounds like your quite settled on fat free froyo but if you do try cyanogenmod again try using it for a while with minimal widgets loaded, like google search and power control for example.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] albertorodast2007:
Ok... reduced to 3 (cant use any less!! :D ) removed officesuite pro, remoded facebook widget and SD share widget... actually i dont need it if I can unmount my SD but im too lazy... I ended up with a more stable system! I noticed that if I run a lot of apps at the same time (music, fb, maps, wifi, gps, etc) the charge stays at -30 mAh even with the phone plugged in! :eek:I think the problem was migrating from donut to froyo! i was used to have a lot of apps loaded, and a lot of homescreens and widgets....

No build install will take an hour. I am sure no one told you that. And if you had issues my guess is your battery is DEAD. Take it out for a minute then place it back in the phone. Connect the charger. Should see orange light when it starts to charge. Boot it up now or let it charge.

I made some progress when I updated my radio version, but still have the same issue that when booting into the GUI my handset switches off

So I gave up with Android until there is a definitive gude for the total numpty to follow
[G2 and Desire Z General] sundar2012:
Can someone build support for the 2g/3g switching that uses the same method as the settings panel (Sidekick method) instead of APN or RIL injection?

[UPDATE] It does work with Sidekick but not with AOSP helper

2G/3G: What is the difference between the RIL injection and the Sidekick method ?

RIL injection is as hackery as hacks come, and is currently only available for GSM devices. It completely circumvents most of Android and tries to force commands to be sent to the radio.

Sidekick on the other hand will use the same method as the device's settings screen to trigger a band switch, and is therefor both safer and faster to use. It does unfortunately require a compatible ROM. Carrier / manufaturer ROMs are usually not compatible, and not all custom ROMs are compatible either. Sidekick is available both on GSM as well as CDMA devices.

If your ROM is Sidekick compatible, Sidekick will always be used instead of RIL injection.

[G2 and Desire Z General] Rook12V:
I use extended controls and have a 2G/(3/4G) toggle, but it only brings me into a menu where I can select to turn on/off 2G network operators. That works if I want to manually turn it off, but being able to have a program activate it would be great, I'd like to set profiles where it turns to 2g when my work day starts, off during lunch break, and and off when I go to sleep, without having to do anything else.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tt4079:
Ok I am posting this in case it is of any help to anyone. I have friends and family that have the SGS and decided to write them a few instructions on how to update their phone. I have updated 16 phones myself so far and found this to be the best method. Each phone has worked perfectly after with none of the problems I am seeing being reported on this forum. Hope it works for you too.

Backup apps and data with My Backup (free) or My Backup Pro. Pro version backs up application data which is very useful.

If you have installed OCLF then open OCLF and Undo OCLF, Undo Root and Remove Ext2 Tools.

On phone go to Settings, Privacy, Factory Reset.

When phone reboots type in *2757*3855#

When the phone restarts update phone to latest firmware using Kies.

After updating again run Settings, Privacy, Factory Reset.

When phone reboots type in *2757*3855#. This seems to either use a slightly different format or wipe files not wiped previously. I really don't know but either way phones I have tested this method on have had less lag.

Turn on USB Debugging by going to Settings, Applications, Development, USB Debugging.

Change Settings, Wireless and Network, USB settings to Ask On Connection

Connect phone to pc via usb. Do not enable any mode.

On PC run SuperOneClick found here, h t t p ://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682. This does not take long. Superuser will install last and should be followed by Done. This does not always happen so if you see superuser being installed for more then 10 seconds you can safely close SuperOneClick.exe. It will have installed but you have not received the final Done message.

Reboot phone and it’s now rooted.

In Market install OCLF and My Backup/My Backup Pro.

Run OCLF and install Ext2 followed by OCLF V2+.

Reboot phone.

Run OCLF, Alter minfree. Click Strict and set on boot then Fire it up.

Run Change Scheduler choosing Deadline, set on boot and tweaks then Fire It Up.

At the moment it seems if you reboot the phone you must make the last two changes again as the set on boot does not always work.

Run My Backup/My Backup Pro and restore all applications.

When finished run again this time restoring Data.

Reboot phone.

Now you may be left with one small problem. Market Download does not always show all your apps installed. Tends to be missing the free ones you have installed.

Run Settings, Application, Manage Applications, All

You will see Market and Market Updater. Go into each and click Force Close then Clear Data.

Now when you go back in to Market, Downloads you should see all your apps installed that are available in the Market.

If you have any apps installed from Samsung Apps you will need to reinstall them again. The reason being is even though you restored them the samsung app does not know you have done that and you won’t be notified of updates in the future.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kardstormer:
All these steps doesn't look painless. I just flashed mine with Odin without the need to do anything else. After the update everything worked just fine.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sickntwisted:
Hi.

This procedure doesn't work for me, because of the Kies problem. I have yet to work around it.

However, I just want to point a slight mistake.

That code you entered doesn't work. It should be *2767*3855# . That's the Factory Reset without confirmation.

Thanks for the post. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] termick:
In my opinion the most painless method of updating to 2.2 is by using Kies with registry hack tool made by Nodial : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=835628&highlight=Kies+registry . Then apply the CWM if you want root and you are ready to go :)
