[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkside79:
Ok, I know there are countless topics about this but non of them are working for me. Ok so trying to get into download mode so I can use Odin to put the official froyo leaked Rom on my Vibrant. Using Unofficial T-Mobile Froyo Rom. It came rooted and busybox installed already along with startup Samsung S logo gone. Android logo instead. I want to put on the plain Jane Leaked Froyo Rom.so I need to get into the Download Mode to use Odin to install the update.but I can't get into Download Mode at all. Tried everything.pulling the battery holding up and down volume keys.plugging the USB cable in.just goes to the dam battery charging menu. Tried like 10 different way of that.and still no luck.even watched YouTube videos on how to do it.but still no luck. WTF.why wont it go into download mode. Wish there was a stock froyo zip file so I could just flash it using Rom Manager.but all the ones I found have been changed in some way or another. Please help me out here.thanks a million!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bahnburner:
adb reboot download
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkside79:
what does this mean? thanks
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bahnburner:
It means you don't need to be screwing with your phone.

It's a command that will reboot your phone into download mode. It works ever time. You just have to make sure you have the android SDK installed.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkside79:
Will Odin work if I use Rom manager to get into recovery mode? Thanks
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bahnburner:
nope. That's recovery mode, odin uses download mode.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iheartdroid:
Im having the same issue as this gentleman I believe. I can get it into recovery mode and download mode through ADB only but when I get it into dl mode my PC doesnt see the device anymore and Odin doesnt see it either as no port is assigned.

Is there a way to recover phone from recovery mode. Obviously i tried reinstall packages but i cant access the drives to place the upgrade.zip in there.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkside79:
Dam installing SDK seems like a pain in the @ss. all that just to get into the Download mode? don't understand why it wont go into Download Mode in the first place :eek: any other way of getting into Download Mode? already got SDK installed on my Windows 7 pc. but seems like a real pain to me! thanks a million!

PS- Any zip. file version of the Stock Froyo Vibrant Rom? instead of the T959UVJK6.tar file? so I can just flash it using Rom Manager!

Found here:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbirg:
Yeah there's a flashable jk6 posted by sombionix

That said, I wouldn't mess with your phone unless you know how to get into download mode and use it. I messed up my first Vibrant doing that. All I had to do was read a little more.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkside79:
I think that's the same one I am using right now. Has Root installed and Samsung S logo removed and replaced with Android Logo but I just want Plain Jane Froyo Rom like the one found here:

http://www.samfirmware.com/apps/blog/entries/show/5483734-froyo-for-t959-vibrant-
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkside79:
Yea that's the same one I already have installed!

Includes:

- Root

- Busybox

- Su

- Rom Manager

Removed:

- Annoying T-Mobile Startup sound

- Annoying T-Mobile Pink Bootanimation

But Just want completely Stock Froyo :rolleyes:
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbirg:
I wouldn't recommend switching to another one. The one you have already has 2e recovery. The regular one has 3e which will not let you into Clockwork

If you still want it, there's a deodexed JK6 floating around somewhere, just look in the dev forums for a couple pages for them, you'll find one.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkside79:
Guess I will just keep this one until the OTA Froyo comes Out. How hard is it to go back to 2.1 stock so I can get the OTA update when it comes out? If it will even be worth all the trouble! I like this Rom I have but for some reason Launcher Pro Plus keeps Force Closing after Reboot! and unistalled and reinstalled but still happens every time. I'm SOL I guess! :(
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] untermensch:
I modified an app from the market called quick boot to reboot into download mode

put it on the sdcard and install using the samsung files app. (needs root)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkside79:
Oh wow thanks. Now where do I get the Samsung files app? Can i install it like a normal apk. file and do I start it up like a normal app?.thanks a million
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkside79:
OMG that app works for getting into Download Mode. Your freaking awesome! Now would it be safe for me to Odin the new Froyo Rom over my current Froyo Rom? Without any issues? Anything else I should do before doing this? Thanks a million!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkside79:
So is it safe to use Odin now? Or do I need to erase everything off of my current Froyo Rom. Don't want to run into any issues trying to flash using Odin.any help would be great. Thanks a million
[Streak 5 Accessories] Keethos:
Hi peeps,

I've only just noticed that when I have my dock connected to the mains and my phone is charging via it, the Steak for some reason looses all audio (:mad: got up late cos no alarm sound). The weird thing is that the phone will still vibrate, I've known phones in the past to disable vibration while charging but never audio. If the phone is on the dock and charging via my PC, it's fine, it's just when it's connected via the mains.

I haven't tried using my normal data cable with the mains yet (it's kept in the car for sat nav'ing or for work) but I'll give that a try.

Anyone else notice this at all and anyone know how to enable sound while charging on the mains? Thanks!
[Streak 5 Accessories] Hebinator:
When you say "mains" does that mean wall charger?

What ROM are you running?
[Streak 5 Accessories] Keethos:
Hi, yeah I mean charging from the wall with the supplied USB adapter. I'm running official 2.2 BB-318 v12821 with the performance tweak. The official dock has a couple ports at the back of it, there's a mini USB port (which I connect to my PC with) and a small cylindrical power socket (the cable for that goes from a round cylinder head to a normal USB end) and I only ever have one or the other plug in.

I've just tested it with the normal data cable and it works fine. I plugged the dock back in and put the phone on it, then played some music and it actually started playing...but at a reduced volume, after I unplugged either the dock or the phone, the volume jumped up. But the next time I connect the dock or the phone back it goes back to no audio again. It's weird, somes times it'll play audio and sometimes it doesn't.

Could this have anything to do with how the music player now has a HDMI option? The reason I ask this is cos the phone automatically brings up the clock dock screen when docked with the mains connected (doens't do it when connected to the PC) and on that screen the is an option to play music.

On a side note, I can't seem to play video via HDMI any more (just says "This file is audio only") and I can't get music to go out of it either, it doesn't detect it when I have the dock connected to my TV (even with the mains connected on either the TV or on the phone). Would it make a difference it I had it connected to a TV or an AMP?
[Streak 5 Accessories] limpman:
look like you have set your dock audio out mode.. i don't have problem.

when you connect your mobile in dock hit the menu button and there is option dock setting and then speaker out option then disable speaker out your done.
[Streak 5 Accessories] Keethos:
Thanks for the response dude, but it didn't make a difference, it still seems to randomly allow audio and sometimes it doesn't :(
[Streak 5 Accessories] lufc:
I had that problem running the same ROM so i set the settings for the dock to ask me about audio when streak is in the dock,then i plugged in the streak and it came up asking what i wanted to do so i allowed audio then lifted it out of the dock went back into settings and changed it always allow audio and now everything seems to be OK:)
[Streak 5 Accessories] Keethos:
Cool, thanks LUFC! I think thats done it, it still doesn't like it when music is playing and you plug it in, but if you don't have music, plug it in then play music it's fine, but again, you can tell that there's a bit of a volume decrease but it'll do!
[Streak 5 Accessories] hammermedia:
I'm running DJ Steve 1.5.1. Are there any dock settings or is it only on Stock 2.2?
[Streak 5 Accessories] lufc:
Go to all Programs click on the clock when it loads up click on the middle button on the streak (menu) and thats the dock settings:)
[Streak 5 Accessories] hammermedia:
THANKS I knew I saw it somewhere.
[Streak 5 Accessories] blopez24:
those who have the official dock can you output videos like movies that you have on yoru memory card and pass them off to your tv? or is it just videos you record?
[Streak 5 Accessories] Keethos:
On 1.6 I was able to play anything through the TV via HDMI only if the native player would play it, so not just recorded vids. However, ever since the official 2.2 update, I've not been able to get anything to play through HDMI....but to be fair I only had a quick play, didn't look to much into it as I don't really use it for that at all.
[Streak 5 Accessories] i_is_surf:
This was an issue for me too. I was wondering WTF was going on... Thanks guys!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheiPhoneKiller:
hi everyone :)

i just come from a Hero and got this thing,its crazy s**t :D :D

put desire hd android on its awsome,beats my Hero anyday.lol.

i noticed thats guys on here are getting quadrant scores of 2000+ i aint got to that point yet but then i was looking at Gsmarena at the new Lg star,if you have look at the bottom of page in the vid bit, only ses 2146 and guys on here are getting more,its flippen unreal :D :D hows it whipping a duel-core mobi.it shoulda been an android phone from the start :D

ps anyone know why the music EQ aint working mdj desire hd 4.4
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] souljaboy:
the lg what ?

even if it had a million cores , i wouldnt buy non htc
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pablow:
We have like really good CPU power and I/O scores...

in the video your talking about.... it takes a while to get thru these tests.... but it flies thru the 2D and 3D test....

so it has a great GPU but Lg failed at making their I/O scores decent... which is fine... cuz Android likes animations and thats more of GPU than I/O or CPU....

anyhow... probably not worth switching... waiting for tegra III or IV on a htc device...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jose makalolot:
same here. those guys are too lazy to update their roms.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Jack E:
Seeing as quadrant doesn't support multithreading, it would only be benchmarking one of the cores anyway...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zarathustrax:
Quadrant scores don't really mean anything. There's a lot of things that can boost up a quadrant score but that doesn't actually mean its faster or smoother. Also, any rooted and properly tweaked native phone of similar specs will beat the hd2 any day. Everyone always compares the tweaked and modified hd2s quadrant scores to stock android phones, which isn't a fair comparison if they aren't also rooted and tweaked. My friend with a nexus one easily gets over 3000 on his quadrant scores. It all depends how you tweak it. A native phone will probably always be able to outperform a port of android.... but atleast we can run multiple OS's.
[Nexus S General] SpoonerPS3:
Just wondering if the Nexus S has a notification LED like every other phone, except the Galaxy S of course. Can't find any info of that on the latest previews/reviews.
[Nexus S General] ap3604:
Early reviews says it does not have an LED.

Use the NoLED app on the market instead http://www.appbrain.com/app/noled/com.led.notify :)
[Nexus S General] SpoonerPS3:
Hmmm thanks for that! Last time I read about NoLed it was an alfa and ofcourse very limited, but I see it has progressed a lot. I've been using BLN on my Captivate for a while and kind of like it but will try NoLed right now.
[Nexus S General] neok44:
yup, no notification LED, luckily noLED has turned into an amazing app. i'm actually using it on my Nexus one. people always find it pretty awesome when they see the trackball and the screen have the notification.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
how does noLED work? care to explain?
[Nexus S General] neok44:
noLED creates a notification icon (dot or actual icon) on your phones screen when you get a notification.

on OLED screens, anytime a pixel is black, it's not using any power, so with phones that don't have LED's, using the screen works since your only lighting up the part of the screen with the notification.

To save even more power you can make it a simple pixel in one corner, or use an icon that moves around the screen (what i use)

And it looks damn awesome too.

http://www.appbrain.com/app/noled/com.led.notify
[Nexus S General] makelegs:
Hmmm.....giving it a try, as we speak. Very hard to imagine life without a dedicated notification light. Seems totally insane!!! :eek:
[Nexus S General] justsignbythex:
You're telling me!

Coming from a Blackberry, I would DIE without a notification LED.

Anyone have issues with the battery life when running the noLED app?
[Nexus S General] makelegs:
Backlit dedicated buttons...

Just tested NoLed by sending a chrome to phone link. My only real concern is that I noticed the dedicated buttons at the bottom of the N1 seem to remain lit, in addition to the tiny colored pixel notification. Do they stay lit indefinitely??? I did not notice an option to disable this, but I didn't watch it for more than a minute or so to see if they would turn off. It pretty much looked like they were gonna stay on. Pretty sure that would be detrimental to battery life. Did I miss something?
[Nexus S General] SpoonerPS3:
Well, on my Captivate I disabled BLN(custom notification system for Galaxy S that uses buttons backlight) and only have noLed for notifications. It also has the option to use the proximity sensor to turn the screen on/off so it isn't displaying anything while the phone is upside down or in your pocket. Very nice app.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
Oh wow you are right, it does look awesome :)
[Nexus S General] Darrien13:
this is awesome.
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
It doesn't seem to work with Launcher Pro on my Vibrant. =T
[Nexus S General] nxt:
On my Nexus One, I use LEDs Hack: http://www.appbrain.com/app/leds-hack-(root-only)/net.geekherd.softbuttonshack

To turn off the soft button lighting.

Maybe with a combination of this and noLED, we'd have a good combo.
[Nexus S General] Chad_Petree:
i dont get it, i seriously cannot live without a led notification light on my phone, if google had time to include a NFC tag reader why did they not include a led notification light? even the nexus one has one! :mad:
[G Tablet General] ByByIpad:
Another new Tablet in SEARS lineup. Has 3G. Sketchy on hardware. Also, available at Frys, Walmart, KMart. Looks like the market to be flooded with tablets soon.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
$499 on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/ICAN-10-Table...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1292201280&sr=1-1

That's a lot of bread for a 2.1 device. Hopefully it's not Telechips based.
[G Tablet General] japhule:
According to the pics, this thing has 2 HDMI ports? Really?
[G Tablet General] wiredmonkey:
http://www.ican.us.com/forums/

Looks like they just opened on 12/10... Nothing much there or on their site
[G Tablet General] Alpha06:
" includes a DC wall plug power adapter at no additional cost!"

That pretty much sums up how this is going to turn out.
[G Tablet General] rushless:
Wow, that thing has one big a55 bezel :eek:

If the spec is accurate, nice it has TWO micro sd slots and internal space. I shudder to think how screwed up that would be on the Gtablet ;)
[G Tablet General] GenBlood:
If you go to their web site they also make a seven inch version too. Some specs

are their too about both units. One of many that will be release in the coming

weeks.
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
Sure is expensive. Looks a lot like the Haipad M701-R I bought my daughter but bigger.
[G Tablet General] ByByIpad:
Bought this at Frys for $497. Demo unit in store had no internet nor wifi access. Only touch and feel product with no apps to try nor video nor music to run. Box provides no details on type of screen, nor processor. Looks like an ipad but cheaper feel to it. Will not open box due to 15% restocking fee. Oddly supposed to be 10.1" touchscreen but box say 7" touchscreen. Per barcode #80001, this product should be 10.1" screen.

Looks like an Ipad with Android 2.1 operating system but with ports for HDMI, miniSD card, ethernet port. Didn't see a sim card slot though it says 3G support. No info or details for flashing to Android 2.2.

Will hold until I can get more info. 15 day return policy 100% if unopened. Sears and Walmart offering but no availability.

If I can't find any good reviews or additional info, back it goes before 15 days.

May go back to the Viewsonic Gtablet if I can get for $279 after Christmas.
[G Tablet General] jtbnet:
I thought I read the Viewsonic Viewtab 10 was a Atom based tablet able to dual boot Windows and Android (1.6??)... This was back when Sears mis labeled the model that initially ended up being the Gtab we are using...
[G Tablet General] copc:
Saw it at fry's today. Played with a bit, not too impressed. All buttons except for one were one sides. One big hump on back lower right corner, it was because of onboard Ethernet. Seemed slow and laggy.

It said 16gb 1ghz
[G Tablet General] harpua1980:
no 2 usb 2 micro sd
[G Tablet General] copc:
Funny after looking at the link robeet posted for amazon...

The pics do not show the big hump in the back? The unit I had in my hands did have a hump only way they could fit a Ethernet port on the side, my wife thought it looked funny.

I can confirm they were to full size USB on one side, split far apart.
[G Tablet General] rickyt63:
CPU type?

Do you know what type of CPU? Arm11, A8-cortex, etc, ...
[G Tablet General] copc:
Sorry it only said 1ghz, Fry's is horrible on there info on display units.

From fry's website

# 1Ghz Processor

# 10" 16:9 Touch Screen

# Android OS 2.1

# Wi-Fi

# 16GB Hard Drive

# Webcam 1.3 meg (built-In)

# 2 mini USB Ports

# 1 Micro SD Port

# HDMI Port

# Built In speakers

# Head Phone Port

After looking at all the pics online all the images I could find online were the 3g version. Even fry's has both 3g and wfi version on there site but both pics are the same w/ 3 buttons. The one I hand in my hands only had one button.
[G Tablet General] ByByIpad:
Amazon selling for $406 and and J&R $399. The discounting continues. Well Frys, this item is coming back to you soon. No new info forthcoming and will not open the box due to 15% restocking fee.

Will wait for a $279 Viewsonic.
[G Tablet General] Lindarose84:
No Bluetooth? Plus the pictures on Amazon show two different bezel layouts on the front. So which is it?
[G Tablet General] elitepsycho:
icant ...had to. well would be better if i knew what cpu it has and memory specs are vague. going to get my wife an android tablet first of the year. leaning toward another g tablet when the price drops from the flood of tablets on the market. unless something with a bit more memory hits at a reasonable price. wife seems to be using my tablet a lot here lately ...i cant share
[G Tablet General] manfly9884:
It's. $406.00 now.
[G Tablet General] LeviathanUltima:
how's the viewing angle. I think I am willing to take a look at this device if it has viewing angles like the ipad or better.
[G Tablet General] MadFoodScientist:
From what I gathered on ICAN's website....there is a 7 inch version (which has 3 front buttons) and a 10 inch version (which has 1 front button). Someone on their forum said they bought it at Fry's and have opened it- says it does not seem to be multi-touch!
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
That's why I mentioned Telechips, before. But also whether or not it's capacitive (I'd like to think so, at that price).

Anyone look at the viewing angles? I'd be interested to know how it looks. The amount of ports sound awesome, but 2.1 scares me a bit + whether or not it would ever get Froyo and Flash.
[G Tablet General] rushless:
For battery life, a Tegra 2 and no Windows is a better option. Atoms require a fan and Windows has a lot more overhead and the usual baggage it carries. Could you imagine how convoluted current issues would be with Windows at play as well. Yikes.

Besides, Atom chipsets can only currently be supported by Android 1.6 or lower.

As far as this device, that bezel is huge.... maybe the device is 10.1" and the screen is 7" ;)
[G Tablet General] rickyt63:
Went to Fry's today to check out iCAN! 10 & Galaxy Tab side by side.

Here are my initial thought of iCAN! 10inch:

Screen:

- Seems to be capacitive (slightly touch to register).

- A little washed out (brightness setting at max). VS GTab is much brighter even at 50% brightness setting).

- Does have viewing angle issue.

Speed & responsive:

- Little sluggish compare to Galaxy Tab (both in stock form).

- Responsive scale: iCAN= 7; Galaxy Tab= 10; TnT-Lite GTab= off the scale! :)
[G Tablet General] LeviathanUltima:
Thanks for the update. Looks like I have to wait longer for a proper viewing angle tablet.
[G Tablet General] eviltuna:
This looks like a rebadge Chinese tablet with a Capacitive screen + Freescale IMX 515 processor. Which I think is Cortex A8, of course this is just speculation.
[G Tablet General] rickyt63:
More search show that iCANT10 could be this:

http://www.sinadeal.com/item/10-2--Epad-Tablet-PC-Android-2-1-OS-Camera-Wifi-3G-HDMI-122142/

Look pretty much alike except 256MB RAM & CPU is Infortm X220 1GHz ARM11.
[G Tablet General] GraniteTab:
On that picture on amazon it looks like a digital picture frame with that thick bezel.
[G Tablet General] rickyt63:
Pictures from here:

http://www.sinadeal.com/item/10-2--Epad-Tablet-PC-Android-2-1-OS-Camera-Wifi-3G-HDMI-122142/

This is also called the Flytouch 2, or Flytouch II look axactly the same as the display iCAN! 10 I saw at Fry's.

Same UI also.
[G Tablet General] eviltuna:
Thats not the same tablet as I've seen the back of the Flytouch. Definitely not the same device, also the one in the OP's thread is capacitive while the Flytouch is resistive.
[G Tablet General] rickyt63:
The iCAN! 10 I've played with at Fry's look just like FlyTouch 2 or FlyTouch II (not FlyTouch).

Beside identical appearance, there are other specs that we don't know for sure about iCAN! 10:

10 "(16:9) touch screen. Capacitive ???

1GHz CPU. Type unknown ???

Memory: ???

Hopefully some1 will tell.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I was in downtown NYC today, so I went to J&R to see if they had the 101 as a demo (they didn't). But they had the 10 inch ICAN!.

Only had a minute or two to check it out. Looked a LOT like an ePad, with the silver back, and it had two microSD slots. It was Android 2.1 and it was slow as molasses. Not sure if it was capacitive or not, but the performance alone was a deal breaker.

One good thing, at least in the store - it was listed as $399 and it was the 10 inch. I had the guy check the price to be sure. Not sure why it's listed as $499 on their web site.
[G Tablet General] ByByIpad:
Returning my Ican 10 today. If no support, no matter how good the hardware, which is unknown, the tablet will be an expensive paperweight.

Can't get any information about this. Plus, Sears website just launched a wave of cheap tablets. Mostly with inferior software and hardware.

I'll wait until I can get a $279 Viewsonic or a Viewsonic 2 with 3G and better viewing angles. Would also like 1 GB RAM.
