[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] igknighted:
0) This forum is for discussion of development issues, not "which is right for me" or "how to use" issues... this should probably be posted in Q&A or General.

However, I hate leaving a question unanswered, so:

1) Signal strength is not related to which ROM you are using, and rather which radio. Look in settings->about phone->Software Info->Baseband version. The 3 current radios are 2.15.00.07.28, 2.15.00.09.01, and 2.15.00.11.19. Depending on your location, one of these three is the version you should use. BE CAREFUL - FLASHING ROMS IS VERY SAFE, BUT AN ERROR FLASHING THE RADIO WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE.

You could also try *228 to update your roaming as well.

2) This is constantly debated. Typically, horrible battery life is the result of an app running constantly or keeping the phone from sleeping. How does your awake time compare to your up time? Personally, I find that CyanogenMod 6.1 with incredibleK's kernel #18 gives me best battery life... I usually charge it every night to be safe, but can comfortably go two days of moderate use without draining the battery.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamespweb1503:
Sorry about the wrong forum, but im in the middle of flashing skyraider (3.5?) with King klicks #6. As for awake time and uptime, it used to be roughly the same. Give or take a few min. Ive speed tested on warm, and it still hasnt passed the 100 kbps mark :( Hows Cyanogen running for everything else?

Also, i cant get passed 1x on skyraider, it stays on "Turning on"

My radio is 2.15.00.07.38

Double check, my awake time is exactly the same as my up time.(Edit: Nevermind, i locked it and now the uptime is 2 min more than the awake time.)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] igknighted:
That is a sign that either (a) you are literally using your phone 100% of the time, which will indeed suck batteries down very quickly, or (b) you have some app that is constantly asking for attention and wont let the phone sleep. By comparison, my uptime is 11+ hrs, and my awake time is about 3 hours. It's awake when I am using it, but it sleeps other times (can still receive calls/email/sms in this state). If your phone isn't sleeping when you're not using it, battery wil suffer.

EDIT: If you just rebooted, then it will of course be equal. You should check after you have been booted and running on battery (not plugged in) for a few hours.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamespweb1503:
Yeah i figured, but battery seems to be normal now :) The thing thats killing me is not being able to get good internet! I cant download a small app over the mobile network because it lags out and just doesn't go! :( It shouldve gotten better since the sky is more clear, but it hasnt.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pdqauto01:
*228

*228 will update your towers and roaming capabilities definatly try this first
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamespweb1503:
No that doesnt work :(
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RegnierD:
Try a new radio. Legit, it will probably help a lot.

Research how to check an md5 sum before you actually flash it through hboot, but past that you're set. If the md5's don't match, redownload.

I suggest the 11.19 radio (The new EVO radio). 9.01 also worked well for me, but the EVO one works wonders. I also have a wannabEVO phone, so that might just be me.
[Vibrant General] whereiszack:
Hi,

So I have been looking for information on which bluetooth mice work with the samsung vibrant. I currently have an apple bluetooth keyboard working well with the vibrant, but I'd love to have a mouse as well.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

EDIT: Here is a video of a guy using a bluetooth keyboard and mouse with his vibrant: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21aVbYpgrRA - so how do we do it with a mouse and pointer?

EDIT:His XDA post can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=8447646
[Vibrant General] Shrivel:
Don't think this would work - there's no on-screen cursor.
[Vibrant General] Saiboogu:
Ditto. I remember Cyanogen added it as a feature not too many revisions back, so it isn't part of AOSP. Unless Samsung choose to add it... You can see where that is going.
[Vibrant General] whereiszack:
So this is a video I saw a while back of a guy using a bluetooth keyboard AND MOUSE on his Vibrant. I'd like to do the same. How do I do it, and what mice will work? I know you two said that it can't be done, but this is proof otherwise.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21aVbYpgrRA
[Vibrant General] Saiboogu:
I suggest you contact him. He mentions using a leaked build, so it definitely isn't a mainstream feature yet.

edit .. Bluetooth HID is a standard, so all you really need to do is figure out what build he found it in and any bluetooth mouse should work.
[Vibrant General] whereiszack:
Okay, so I found his XDA post under the i9000 section.

i cannot get my archos 101 to pair with my moto s305 headphones. it won't even recognize them when i scan. i use them quite a bit so this is a huge let down if i can't get it to work. just wanted to know if anyone else had any troubles in this department and if there is anything that may fix it or help me.

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kashban:
Jepp, having troubles too. Can pair with my HTC desire and my netbook, but connecting isn't possible. On my netbook there are no BT services showing up for the Archos, which is the reason a connection fails.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crimton:
i was finally able to get my archos to see and pair with my headphones but it will still not let audio stream. so it will not fully connect, it says unable to pair with this device. this is a problem with archos because these headphones have paired with a dozen other devices no problem.

I've had problems getting my WiiMotes to connect. I have gotten them to connect twice - each time it was after a firmware flash. Once I d/c them I cannot get them to connect again.

Real bummer - wanted to play some SNES...
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techngro:
Yes, many ppl have had serious issues trying to connect an Archos Gen8 to their phones. So far, Droids seem to be the most "connectable" with the Archos. My rooted Moto Cliq with tethering enabled has never been able to connect no matter what I try (bluetooth or WiFi).

My only hope is that when the A70 gets rooted, there will be a custom firmware that actually makes tethering work properly. I'm fairly certain that it's a problem with Archos' software.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gelocks:
Nokia's seem to be connecting also through BT. I've read people with oldies like mine (E71, E72, E63, 5800s, etc.) that can teether and connect without problems. Haven't tried a headset yet though.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GabeJ:
I'm in the market to upgrade my Touch Pro2. I want badly to get the Vibrant, but I was wondering what you guys think.

I've kind of narrowed it down to Vibrant and the Defy. I like the Vibrant screen, I've heard its speaker is clear, the reception is good and the camera is nice. I absolutely love the 4 inch screen size.

I'm tempted by the Defy because of what I've read about call quality, battery life, and toughness. It seems it's classified as a mid-range phone because of processor speed, which I think can be overclocked to put it on par with Vibrant speed.

I'm interested in the mt4g and G2 but I hear the speakerphone sucks and the camera is mediocre and the reception is spotty.

Am I right in the good stuff I've heard about the Vibrant? I know about the lag and the gps--is it so bad I'd hate the phone?

Would you recommend the defy or one of the htc's?

Thanks.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] down8:
Defy.

If I had it to do over, I'd get the Defy.

I was going insane trying to get out of San Francisco this evening b/c the GPS & lag is so ****ty.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pegasus912:
It really depends, If I could've done it again I would have waited for the Nexus S, which may or may not have the same GPS issues, or even the G2 (if you can do without super amoled screen). I've also heard the G2 is $50 on a contract and will be one of the first phones to get gingerbread (after nexus s and nexus one).
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GabeJ:
So two Vibrant owners respond and both say skip the Vibrant. Is that the general consensus on this board?

Thanks guys for your honest.

I love this phone anyone who doesn't want the one they have can give them to me
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
Well, the vibrant is like any other phone.

Yes, it has problems.

Does it give you the moments when you go "DAMN MY PHONE MUST BE THE BEST ONE OUT THERE?" yes.

If your one of the Travelling type and uses GPS, i suggest you skip this phone, BUT i have been hearing they changed teh gps so it works perfectly now.

I say you get the Vibrant, overall its a perfect device, but if you want you can get NEXUS S which is the same thing, but with a few differences which kind of make it a little better.

Defy or Vibrant?

Vibrant.

My personal choice, i haven't used teh Defy so.. i wouldn't know.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saiboogu:
I've got an earlier Vibrant so my GPS is a bit flaky, but its still good enough for an occasional GPS-guided trip for me. Lag.. Occasionally. I ran some fixes earlier on that I felt improved things. But then I see others using their different models of phone and waiting, waiting.. I think its a "grass is always greener" sort of thing. Overall, while I wish I had native AOSP and a FFC (stock, not modded), I also wish I had a million bucks .. Can't get it all, right? I'd buy Vibrant again.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GabeJ:
So, if I bought a new Vibrant it might not have a GPS issue, but it will definitely still be laggy? And the lag fixes don't completely alleviate the problem?

I'm sorry for all the questions. I live 1 hour away from any Tmobile store and I'm stuck in snow, so I can't just go play with them.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saiboogu:
RE lag, if you're going on what I was saying -- My point was that it may have some lag, but no phone doesn't. I don't think it has excessive lag, and there are plenty of tweaks you can try out if you just need to eke out every last bit of speed.

Oh, and I feel your pain. I'm also an hour out, and I don't particularly like that store - few hours further to get a good one. ;) Ordered on the phone personally. Call 'em up and tell the IVR you're checking your contract dates. ;)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fosormic:
I have an older Vibrant and am in love with the phone, but got fed up with the gps. Just an hour ago talked to TMO and without any effort they decided to send me a replacement. Apparently (fingers crossed) these days the replacements they are shipping are retail units (newer batches), not refurbs.

On another thread we discussed how it looks like phones built on or after october do better GPS-wise. So, a week from now if I get a new one, I will be able to compare them side by side.

Btw, check my signature. Being a fervent Nexus One user, was very excited to get a G2, but less than a week was enough for me to dislike it in every possible aspect (to me the G2 is the direct sucessor of the N1 so I had assumed that I would love it as well). I did get the mega-download speed but had the very same 3G issues my N1 up to this day has, where gets stuck switching to HSUPA or something like that. Very annoying when using maps or navigation.

Of all the choices around, if I had to choose, I'd get another vibrant even though I'm a hardcore HTC fan. To top it off, looks like we will be able to run Gingerbread sooner than later. Much sooner. Supercurio has it already running and has already published the files to do so (pretty useless right now, but it has been 36h since he started).

So, I was going to get a Nexus S but after such development, looks like I'll be able to have gingerbread *and* sd card slot, on a non-banana shaped phone...lol. Ah, on the same thread someone ran this benchmark (don't remember the name, the one that shows a comlarative graph at the end) and the gingerVibrant ranked a tad faster than the Nexus One with Froyo, which is the fastest according to that particular program. In other words, faster than any other. Looks like JIT on the Hummingbird is here to stay. Also, seems the gingerVibrant does not have any lag issues, as apparently it is natively EXT4

Hope this helps you in your decission process.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
It WON'T have gps issue i can say that for if you live near Dallas Texas.

I was just at the mall and went to Tmobile store, saw a vibrant, GPS is working, i asked them and they said they're shipping new ones with fixed GPS issues.

Not sure about where you live though.

Lag? What lag? I've never had a lag problem, only if your doing like EXCESSIVE things, like running music, facebook, email checking every second, downloading bunch of apps etc, yes it will lag, but it shouldn't, and even if it does and your planning on Flashing Custom Roms, the new froyo roms have NO lag what so ever, even with my heavy use.

I'll recommend you get a Vibrant anyday.

I'm a G2 Nexus one, blackberry pearl, curve and iPhone 3, 3GS, 4 user.

Vibrant has filled all my needs, G2 is pretty good too, i just hate call quality.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GabeJ:
The call quality issue is big for me. I need a good speakerphone, good reception and voice quality. Those don't seem like I'm asking much, but from what I've heard, and experienced (I'm a Touch Pro2 user), htc falls short there. The G2 included, correct.

Thanks
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spaternitejr:
Bought two Vibrants a week or so ago, one for me, one for the wife... Wanted the G2 but when I got it in my hands, I had reservations about the spring and she wanted the Vibrant. The T-Mobile sales rep actually sent me to WalMart and they had the Vibrant for $50 (T-Mobile store $199.99)!!

Hers is stock and I'm running the Nero v1 ROM. She gets 6 hours of battery life (the first two days before I rooted mine was the the same) with normal use, and I get about 16. Even though its not a "4G" phone we're both getting some pretty great speeds. Neither of us have had lag or gps issues.

All in all it seems like a solid phone. It's fast, call quality is good, and the display is amazing. The speaker is good, I noticed at full volume the G2 sounded distorted and tinny, and this isn't so much the case with the Vibrant, although it does happen slightly.

There are roms out there to really let you customize it to your liking, and to address some of the phones shortcomings . Glad I didn't get the G2 because I'm lovin the Vibrant so far.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GabeJ:
Spaternitejr,

Is the GPS working correctly/quickly on both new vibrants? Was the walmart deal for upgrades or new customers?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spaternitejr:
GPS is working just fine on both. They acquire quickly and consistently. We did upgrades, but believe it was the same price for either.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesd86:
I just got my vibrant from walmart for 50...all of walmarts advertised prices are for upgrades and add a lines.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chalup:
Out of curiosity, why not get the Nexus S instead of the Vibrant?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fosormic:
Cheaper, SD card, broken GPS...lol, and something I just posted in another thread:

Looks like it can do 3G in AT&T (!!!). Awaiting confirmation by anyone who has an unlocked Vibrant and AT&T service. Details are here but still awaiting confirmation...

If that turns out to be true, then it would be the first phone I know of that can do 3G on both major carriers in the States (!).
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chalup:
From what I remember reading, the Vibrant radio is only compatible with one of ATT's 3G frequencies, so in some 3G areas you can only get edge.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fosormic:
I would tend to agree, but just checked on my phone (on that secret menu) and found that it has both 850 and 1900 (both for 3G and plain GSM) in addition to the 1700 and 2100 TMO uses. This is AT&T's band map: http://cellularmaps.com/att_850_1900.shtml

EDIT: I confirmed what Chalup said. Only worked as 3G in one of the bands for me. Here.

By any chance are you transferring the files while using android? Try letting windows mobile run, then using windows mobile transfer the files onto the phone. Lastly, boot into android and see if that works.

Let me know if it works or not.

Actually its funny you mentioned that. I did try that last night and it does work if I transfer in the Windows Rom. I can then see them in Droid. Whats strange is that I did not have to do that at first. Its like something changed then that happened and now I have to do that.
