Yes, I unlocked my Phone on Android 2.1 EClair and it is still unlocked on 2.2.1 JPU. These are not iPhones, therefore they do not require a hack.. Hell samsung stores the unlock code on your phone!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exxorzist:
SGS Unlocker says to me:

"Sorry no codes found

File not found: Do you have a Samsung Galaxy S?"

:confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cosminnn:
I think you need to have root for the unlock to work in Froyo. If possible dowgrade to Eclair, unlock and upgrade back to Froyo ... or get root in Froyo first.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ragin:
Its probably unlocked, have you tried another sim on it yet?

When you put in another SIM, is it asking for a PIN to use phone?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exxorzist:
sorry for my bad english.

I put in my other sim card and first it asks me for a pin. So I enter the pin and the it asks me for a "network- unlock code" (i think that's what it's called in english).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ragin:
Is this a used phone you bought?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ragin:
I think the original owner put a SIM lock code on it. Worst case, you bought a stolen phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ragin:
If you can put the phone to download mode, why dont you try flashing a 2.1 ROM? See if it works.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exxorzist:
I bought this phone with a contract from "3"-Austria. I'm the first owner.

So now I want to go to Poland to visit my family and put in another sim card.

The usual Pin it asks me I enter sucessfully and then it pops up this messege:

"

you should try what i suggested. the link i posted comes from the the app sgs unlock. try pressing the menu on sgs unlock app and choose generate NV_Data.bin it will lead you to the link i posted earlier.

the tutorial will replace the files that locks your phone. thats why you should make a back up on your /efs folder for warranty or emergency concern.

So what do u want to see on the next galaxy s2 phone?

i personally want honycomb!!
[Vibrant General] j.youngberg:
- camera flash

- less grainy screen

- sturdier construction

- less bloat

- 8mp camera

- dual core

- gig of ram
[Vibrant General] Emama:
I want it to be on my phone but not a new phone
[Vibrant General] epakrat75:
It's "Honeycomb" actually and I'd prefer to enjoy what I've got right now rather constantly speculate about what may be. We haven't even officially received Froyo yet, let alone Gingerbread. Honeycomb will be probably be a year away for us at the earliest since it's not even due to be out until Summer 2011.
[Vibrant General] Only Loki:
You should read the entire post before you comment. He said galaxy S 2 as in the next generation of sammy gs phones.

I want a dual screen slider with a dual core. Pretty much just two of these with a single os stuck together some how. It would be awsome for games. You could program a virtual keypad for the bottom screen for any type of button configuration, and it wont block the screen.
[Vibrant General] j.youngberg:
Forgot to add...better support from Samsung.
[Vibrant General] shawn605:
If the Nexus S's spec is virtually a Vibrant... and the Nexus S is coming with Gingerbread... I don't think it's too far off to say (thanks to our devs) that Vibrant owners may have a Gingerbread ROM before New Year's.
[Vibrant General] Only Loki:
I don't think sammy is the blame for software support on this phone. To me it seams they have tried but tmobile has gotten in the way. The phone has had a couple updates already granted they were relatively minor but they addressed major issues that people complained about. Bettter modems for better signal for one. They released an app to fix the gps. Which has worked for me multiple times(if it haven't for you have you tried deleting gps data first).

They have tried to release updates on their own through mini kies that tmobile told people not to use. There seams to always be a release on samsungfirmwares.com that isn't a final but provides parts needed for custom roms. They made the phone rediculously easy to mod even provided a way to fix your phone if you brick it. And it doesn't void your warranty if you take it apart because there isn't any warranty stickers.

What more do you want from them? They have tried to support the community the best they can without Tmobile interferance. They have to go through testing before they release to the public but to me it looks like they are trying.

That said I bet the sgs 2's, will be almost identical hardware wise on all the networks. Because I bet all of these very different variations of the same phone is giving them the flux.
[Vibrant General] fioricet:
dual core

flash

docking station to hook up keyboard mouse monitor at home so i can just worry about having one actual device with everything on it for work and just have a gaming machine separate via kvm

have a dock in the car with a nice touch screen monitor attached and have a nice screen for gps and everything right there instead of a 3500 dollar car gps entertainment crap.

of course they could just make the dock like that now and the firmware to support

If it was T-Mobile in the way, the other carriers would have Froyo releases out too. It's Samsung.

That said...

Dual Core Processor

Different Build Material (the plastic does feel a bit cheap)

Working GPS

HSPA+

The 4" form factor is perfect, and Super AMOLED is fantastic.
[Vibrant General] epakrat75:
Oh, I did. I was commenting on the fact that the OP wanted to speculate on a device that doesn't exist yet while existing devices are already quite behind. I figured there is already plenty to discuss without bringing imaginary devices into the mix. No offense meant, I apologize. Carry on. :cool:
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
i don't need a better specs but i need better applications.
[Vibrant General] Only Loki:
@ fuman lack of support and getting froyo are too separate things. They are supporting the device. Besides you don't know the politics behind their agreement with google. They may not have as large of a team as htc or Motorola has on developement, they might have a contract with the networks not to release it. Maybe they ding get as much support from google that htc or moto has. There is a loft of things that can be holding them up, but support we do have. Look at how long it took other devices took to get cupcake after it came out.

@Epakrat,

How long do you think it takes to design and release a phone? If we don't start giving our input early then it will be too late for them to even implement our ideas.
[Vibrant General] fumanstan:
I disagree, I think OS updates are equivalent to continued support for the device, and the GPS fixes have been hit or miss for people so there are still major issues that are unresolved. I can understand Samsung not having the development or experience with Android that Motorola and HTC have, but I haven't seen anything that would put the blame on T-Mobile more so then Samsung. I don't really put any blame on T-Mobile for anything Vibrant related at the moment.
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
lol Facebook just updated the Facebook app on android today and it's good. haha it answered my wishlist. :D
[Vibrant General] Paging Dr B:
Quad core, 2GB ram, 5 inch MEGASUPERAMOLED display, bluray optical drive, and IceCream (after honeycomb?) OS.

Seriously though. I'd want: No lag, fully functioning GPS, Xenon flash, top unlock button, dedicated camera button, micro usb port on the side next to an HDMI out, 3.5mm on top, more dedicated memory onboard 768MB or 1GB, slightly faster cpu (current cpu is super fast) and a less plasticky finish (more HTC like). I think most of those changes would be easy to implement. I think I basically listed every feature in most upcoming android "super phones".
[Vibrant General] mmalott:
Support and kept promises from Samsung... that's it. It is what I thought I was buying in the first place.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
None of what you said makes sene.

Android is a tech geek-heavy community (the fanbois, at least).

Samsung has the hardware to differentiate itself outside of defacing android.

If they would have just released a Stock Android phone with their hardware, and ensured a fast update turnaround, they probably would have sold more phones than they did.

And they would not have needed such a large software development team.

Galaxy S phones becasue of the hardware, not because of the software, and many people would not have brought them in the US if they had known the update would have taken so ****ing long to materialize. Samsung was talking about updating to FroYo before the Euro Galaxy S was even launched (at their event).

They should be embarassed. Probably the biggest let down of 2010.

Also, an Android phone doesn't need 768 MB RAM. 512 is fine. The issue is our phones don't have 512 RAM accessible to applications to begin with. It has about as much App-Accessible RAM as a cheap mid-ranged Android device...

That being said, unless I pony up for a WP7 device, I'm getting a new notebook (not a netbook, a notebook). I'm not seeing how these phones are worth what they sell for. Unlike computers, a bad phone purchase is hardly salvageable...

Designing a phone isn't as monumental as some make it out to be, unless the manufacturer is just starting out. Much of the groundwork has been done by them in the past and they can simply make new phones by differing in the chasis if possible, and very few components... How do you tihnk Samsung managed 4 different Galaxy S phones for every carrier here? It certainly didn't take them a year or more to branch them out from the i9k, that's for sure...
[Vibrant General] eagles20015:
I would like 1280x720 resolution and better battery life for my next phone. Porbably wont be a samsung considering they dont support their phones.
[Vibrant General] mjpacheco:
Ehhh? The screen is the one thing, when comparing phones of all types with other people, my Vibrant wins hands down every time in clarity and color.
[Vibrant General] Paging Dr B:
True, but he he means that you can see individual pixels. Compare this screen side by side with any other newer LCD and you will see what he means. My old droid1 had a much sharper screen than this. It's partially about pixel density, and partially due to the way amoled screens display colors. This effect was even worse on N1's. doesn't really bother me at all on this screen though. But i'm with you, I actually like the screen a lot. The screen alone kept me from keeping my iphone4.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ydmitriv:
Im rooted and im trying to go to 2.2, i'm on 2.1 right now.

When i go into recovery mode my phone pauses at a white triangle with a orange exclamation point inside and a droid(green guy) person underneath.

what do i need to do to get into recovery mode.....
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] USSENTERNCC1701E:
You need a custom recovery, I recommend AmonRA, you can use jcase's 1Click Eris root to install it. Or you can download it and install it using Terminal Emulator,I'm on my phone now, can't recall the steps, just search for how.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orkillakilla:
Thats odd that your rooted without a custom recovery. Perhaps it got deleted somehow.

Anyways, as stated above, the one-click root is your best bet. Download it from the market, run it, then do a full reboot, then boot into recovery and you should be good to go.

[Desire General] Zackarydoo:
[edit] This is not about Tristan's DigiClock [/edit]

Like most of us, I've been very unsatisfied with the battery usage in my Desire since buying it when it was first released. Most of the tips to sort this out are obvious, with a few things that aren't so obvious but make little difference.

I was having to charge my phone twice a day, then also through the night. It used to bug me that people would complain just at having to plug the charger in at night. Why is that such a problem? When it goes flat twice during the day though, even with little usage and the obvious features turned off, that's a real problem.

Yesterday morning, I saw that my DigiClock app had been updated. One of the differences was that it uses a lot less battery. Well I never imagined it would use any more battery than the normal clock. It did seem to help with the first few hours not showing much battery drain, so I uninstalled it completely, as I'm happy enough with the default clock now. Well I couldn't believe the difference in how long the battery lasted! I even watched about 2 hours of video, and the level barely changed at all. I even used GPS and Bluetooth for a while yesterday without the battery losing much charge.

So now I know that the problem hasn't been anything else, but that blasted clock!!! I used to think it was wifi causing it, because if I kept that off (I need it for push email and have terrible 3G coverage here) the battery would last a lot longer. So my conclusion is that DigiClock was (still is maybe?) constantly connecting to the Internet for something.

I'm pretty angry that I'd never read this as being a problem in all my "why does my battery go flat" research. Has nobody else picked up on this? So that's why I'm posting about it here, for others to read in case it helps them. If you use DigiClock, get rid of it or at least update it. I wonder if other third party clock apps have the same problem?

By the way, I think the clock seems to show up on the battery usage info as part of the Android OS, as that now shows a lot lower percentage than it used to.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] THUDUK:
Can't believe I had a text from o2 stating I had used all my 500MB data in only two weeks...without hardly using the internet away from wifi, ok I have had my data and auto update on until now.

With Windows Mobile I never got close to the 500mb per month, why does Android use so much ?

Am I doing something wrong?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] norodaigh:
The majority of apps that you use with ANDROID run in the background and need this turned on for it to work.

If you want to minimise this impact go to the settings, wireless networks and change the background data option to off so that the apps cannot use this all the time. You usually have a constant connection to data when you have android.

This is from what I noticed having got a similar message from Vodafone, once I took the steps above then it stopped but I am arguing with Vodafone atm anyway as I signed an 'uncapped' contract, they are trying to screw me.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bates_1974:
I had the same issue with t mobile, two months running I hit my 1gb limit and had my already speed limited access severely cut until next pay date. On t mobile though, if you buy an Android phone you automatically (or should) be put on a unrestricted speed 3gb plan, I sent them a few emails blagging I needed more data usage due to 'work' and they happily upgraded my allowances on speed and usage happily, I'd recommend trying the same, bit of advice though, try getting an email direct to o2s tech support rather than customer services, they usually just try and fob you off, best of luck!

[Venue Pro General] gshocker:
In that post he talks as if they have been delivering units to customers already.. I would guess by the forums that no one has gotten a shipping notification much less received a unit yet. The way this is spun they are trying to make the public think that there was just such a huge demand that they could not keep up.

I wish they could get their story straight and just let everyone know what is going on. I am still waiting on a replacement as well from my November 8th purchase at the Microsoft store.
[Venue Pro General] Kotlicki:
I think that per your estimated delivey time and shipping time the system will only send the delay message once the estimated delivery time cannot be reached.

This is why people with end of dec. delivery time are not delayed.... YET.

I had a delivery estimate for today and I got the e-mail yesterday saying that my order has been delayed until January 6th.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AbsolutZeroGI:
Yay another silly question from yours truly!

I have never been a fan of waking the phone up with the power button. The way I put in my pocket and the way I hold it means I have to do a one-handed juggle trick to get to the power button. This is dangerous when I'm in outdoor venues like bar patios, concert halls or walking to or from my car.

I've google searched the hell out of this, is there a way/app/widget that allows you to wake up the phone with the trackpad?

I know there's a widget and an app that'll unlock with the trackball (and soft keys, I think), but so far no successful searches for waking it up.

Any ideas? I'm unrooted, btw.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AZ2ENVY:
