[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I went back and forth about the stars, myself. You could just as easily downgrade Vending.apk versus upgrade, and I figured that Google might force the upgrade on you, anyway (they've done that the last two times and it's how I got 2.2.7 in the first place). So I figured the new Market was the way to go.

3.0 does has video improvements, new Maps, TSCalibration hack and of course the SDCARD2 scanning which is a big plus in the new firmware. I think it's worth getting.
[G Tablet General] Lnin0:
Thanks for taking the time to respond to this community, Adam.
[G Tablet General] eck0728:
Wow go viewsonic!!! Honestly this was an awesome move in my book.. they used xda as feedback and a community to learn from rather than other manufacturers using xda to figure out how to block root.
[G Tablet General] TheMongol:
I agree. It is refreshing to see a company react to things as they are in the real world instead of the idealization that they had for product conception. I feel like a lot of big name companies would have never acknowledged a "lowly internet forum" as a source for feedback and product insight. Viewsonic earns a lot of kudos for their prompt response to kernal source issues. Even though the original stock is viewed as a fail by most, Viewsonic addressing the issue publicly AND actually releasing updates is very good business.

I feel much happier holding my gtab and no longer wonder if I should be taking advantage of the return window.
[G Tablet General] raggededge:
Yup, good for VS. As a side note, I was going to buy a panasonic projector, but now I'm looking at VS, because of the positive way they have responded here.
[G Tablet General] HumbledHuman:
Thank you ViewSonic for doing this. Ive been on the fence for the past couple of weeks on buying the G Tablet and after seeing you guys step up and support your product I pulled the trigger and bought one last night. Kudos to you and may your Christmas be Merry!

Hi, i've bought a milestone2, and after a couple of days the camera just stopped focusing.. couple of days after and it get back to work again.. now it is working but in the morning wasn't. It work and stop when it wants.. anybody know how to fix this? I've did 2 factory resets but didn't fix..

Thanks in advance
[Droid 2 Global General] leobg:
If factory reset didn't help it is likely a hardware related problem, have you tried exchanging it?
[Droid 2 Global General] GuInHoW:
Not yet, i'm traveling, arriving tomorrow. I did another factory reset + SD format now and didn't fix it. Tomorrow i'll try exchange it or let motorola fix it..

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazy talk:
is the manufacturer warranty for the T-Mobile G2 still valid for second hand owners? looking at buying one on craigslist and using it under an EM+ plan but from what i can tell regarding the hinge situation it will need to be swapped out at some point within one year.

so any info regarding warranty exchanges for second hand owners would be fantastic. i have no intentions of having any insurance on the phone if that matters.

thanks for the help!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] urfavoritemazn:
from what i know, you'd need consent from the original owner to swap it out.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazy talk:
just got off the phone with T-mo.

it seems to mostly be a toss up depending on your luck. he said most of the time it's a non issue but nothing is guaranteed.

from what i can gather the best choice is to meet up with the seller at a T-mo store and verify the warranty when it's under the sellers plan and then switch sims.

what a pain. never looked into buying a used phone before, just selling my old ones.

BTW, does anyone have a video detailing Adobe Flash performance with CM6 and one of these 1.5GHz+ kernels? i know on my phone sometimes it's smooth, sometimes it's a slideshow. curious if the extra speed tends to smooth things out on the choppy videos.

(using a DroidX and Galaxy Tab now)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcbrann:
Hey guys! Just a quick question for you guys tat have had your G2 replaced by T-mobile because of the loose hinge. I've had my G2 since the very beginning and have never had any problems but recently the hinge has really become a lot looser. If I call T-mobile do they just replace it? Do I need to go by the store and prove it to them also? Thanks for any help in advance
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Durkbeef:
I think you can send it in to HTC, but idk if the TMO warranty covers it... also, there is no promise that the new one will have a good hinge.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazy talk:
sorry, thought i was in another thread. ignore this.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Finland_2_Cupertino:
Tmobile haas put out a statement saying the hinge is not and never was defective. That's just how it is. Unless you use your phone upside down, this should not be an issue.
[Vibrant General] hydrogenman:
got a white MyTouch 4g coming.

After several replacements, I just couldn't deal with the terrible GPS on this thing.

Got me lost in Kansas City when I was going in for surgery last week and was the final straw.

Bye bye lag fixes, bye bye waiting forever for updates, bye bye **** not working when I need it.
[Vibrant General] jamesd86:
Ive had both and they are more evenly matched then a lot of people think. Both are great phones.have fun.
[Vibrant General] Five0nIt:
They sending you a mytouch to replace the vibrant? Do You have to pay the difference?
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
no no no no!

he got tired of all the vibrants not working so he bought a mytouch they don't send different phones for replacementh aha
[Vibrant General] badaphooko01:
I always thought the MyTouch line was more for chicks. My idea of manly phones would include the Vibrant, G2, Evo, even the original G1.

Im sure the MT4 is a great phone, but I would still choose my Vibrant. Cya and good luck Miss.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
same here, it looks... like its made for softer hands (no sexualism intended just saying)

Vibrant G2 Evo NS and most HTC phones for me.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
Id get a mt4, but im changing carriers when I change phones. Tmobile is trash as well.

Dont mind paying more for a better carrier, personally.

And making this thread serves no purpose.

The vibrant forum is filled with WorksForMe™ kiddies.

Harder hands would demolish the plastic Vibrant...

And I agree those here give the MT4g way too much undeserved slack. The phone's only megatives compared to the Vibrant are the screen (subjective), screen size,.and internal storage size. Maybe the SoC is marginally worse. Almost everything else is superior. Sammy botched the Galaxy S.
[Vibrant General] hydrogenman:
Just venting chief.

Took a long time and many replacements to get to the point where I had an option.

I use the GPS a ton....and getting lost frequently when the GPS quit working really, really sucked.
[Vibrant General] Five0nIt:

[Vibrant General] grlddawkin:
whether we need this post is up for debate, but he is not stating anything we cannot agree with. gps does suck, lag is horrendous, and sammy is slower than any other brand when time to update. not bashing but stating the truth. i love the screen and the devs have worked hard with the roms but sammy needs to step up big time.
[Vibrant General] speedysilwady:
you should have waited and flashed the newest modem JL5 fixed the gps issues for me =]
[Vibrant General] ZachLL88:
No lag, gps problems here.
[Vibrant General] dezvous:
That has to be hyperbole right? I've had my vibrant for some months now. The amount of lag I have experienced has been sparse and when apparent, understandable if not completely tolerable. It has never crossed my mind to complain about the lag with this phone. What are you guys trying to do with your phones that you are experiencing this kind of stuff with?

I'm seriously beginning to think there are some wildly different vibrant experiences out there. There have to be, because that is just not the case for myself. I have installed lagfixes before and seen no discernible real world speed difference besides those seen in benchmarks.

It's got to be one of two things. Some vibrants are messed while others are not. Or. Half of you people are insanely impatient and will put up with nothing but absolute perfection. Something i've yet to witness on any phone, be it iPhone or HTC.
[Vibrant General] kizer:
I don't think I've ever bought an electronic device with some kind of firmware that I haven't at least looked into hacking, rooting, cracking or whatever you want to call it.

Since I've had my phone its been awesome. GPS works, its fast, its modded and I do what I want with it. Anybody that buys a Vibrant and doesn't root it doesn't have a clue what they are missing. Not that if you don't root it you don't have a clue, but your are simply missing out. Now to leave this phone for well something that isn't even close is a shame.

I've played with what your replacing it with and honestly I'm not sure what you are thinking, but then again you dumped your Vibrant so I'm really not sure what you are thinking. :D My buddy and his iPhone4 wishes he could play the videos I play and had the freedom we have. Man it all starts at root.

can't get a cheap Nexus S out of retention because of the GPS issues.

If I don't like the Mytouch4g I'll certainly sell it along with the Vibrant, and buy a Nexus S off contract.

But, I've been hearing the Nexus S has the same flaky GPS issues too.....so meh
[Vibrant General] Drewstein:
After modding my Vibrant with 2.2 I wouldn't want any other phone right now, especially not a 1st generation myTouch 4g which can have plenty of it's own problems.

I warned you that WorksForMe™ is in full effect here.

And 99% of the people in this thread haven't used a MyTouch 4g enough to form any sort of educated opinions about it.

I'd ignore most of it.

You DID post this in the Vibrant forum, though: the only place where this phone works as advertised.

After flashing Nero V2 I get gps lock in 2 seconds no lag and better connection yes there were issues but I rather taylor it to my liking than the bloated crap that comes from tmobile. Also the mt4g is a step down for me can't really compare the two keep in mind the nexus s is basically a vibrant with a front facing camera and flash.

I found this article VERY interesting, and thought some of you may enjoy it.

[Vibrant General] WoodDraw:
As a developer phone, that's certainly true. I don't know. I mean Samsung doesn't have a reputation for locking their phones down hard, even on the non-google line. A reputation for **** development and longterm support, perhaps. And maybe that was google's thinking in choosing them as the Nexus 1 follow up. Certainly google has plenty to gain by helping Samsung out on the Galaxy S line. We'll see what the future brings.

But it's also easy for Google to talk about openness while sitting in the comfy confines of Mountain View. Can anyone go find me Google's support number for the Nexus S?
[Vibrant General] T313C0mun1s7:
Not exactly Google's number, but there is this:

http://www.google.com/nexus/#/help

Google provides the OS, but Samsung is the manufacturer and the one in charge of quality control is responsible for support. This is as it should be.

They do provide a direct support phone number, it is just for Samsung.
[Vibrant General] Five0nIt:
good read.
[Vibrant General] WoodDraw:
My point was that it's easy to call for openness when you don't care about the consequences. Would you rather Tmobile/Samsung provide a link to root your phone at the time of purchase that also immediately voids your warranty? I doubt most here would take that offer.

I like Google's talk about openness, as selective as it may be. But I suspect the manufacturers and carriers roll their eyes when they get these lectures, and I don't necessarily blame them.
[Vibrant General] T313C0mun1s7:
Except for 1 thing, they are choosing to of their own free will sell a device that is based on a free, open source operating system that has a license that states a requirement of openness, and even that their source modifications are required to be submitted back to the source tree.

The drivers are proprietary, and that is fine - even if it is the reason for the requirement for us to use leaked ROMs to get all the hardware to work. Rooting does not change the drivers, and this discussion ended at rooting. That said even after rooting the parts that get changed are just the open source parts that the devs have the source for because it is in the AOSP depository.

If they don't want to support your changes to the OS that is their prerogative, but they still have a responsibility to support the hardware for defects.

At some point I would like to see someone with the money, time, and conviction sue their carrier when they refuse to honor the warranty because it was rooted. See that clause breaks many of the original licenses that make up the various parts of the OS. In fact they are required to provide a copy to the GPL or at least a link to it AND the source itself. They know they can't win this, which is why I think they like to say it voids the warranty, but as long as the phone looks like it is stock (which is more about not supporting errors you introduced) then they don't really look too hard.

If they don't want to let people exercise their rights under the various open source licenses, then they should stick to devices with enforceable, proprietary operating systems like iOS, Windows Mobile, Symbian, and Web OS.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
"Openness" is an excuse, obviously.

I like how Google is trying to save face, and that other site is trying hard to help them along.

People these days seem to just be less concerned about security.

Actively fixing security holes doesn't matter for an OS that cannot be esily pushed out to users as updates. Does it really matter if you fix security holes, but half o fyour users never recieve those fixes?

Well, yea, it does... Just not as much as they think it does.

Also the sandboxing thing is a joke, studies have been conducted and lots of Android apps are sharing data with each other foe the benefit of Advertisers, etc.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] meptik:
First off, you might want to try posting this in the right section (Q&A). This post is certainly not related to HD2 Android Development. Secondly, try giving your post a more explanatory title - "need help" won't really attract people who might have specific knowledge regarding your problem.

Could you explain a bit more about what you're trying to do? I assume you're trying to get some Android build working on your HD2. If so: what rom/radio are you running?

Why are you trying to get into bootloader mode, are you trying to update your rom? Performing a hard reset requires holding both volume buttons. For getting into the bootloader to flash something, only the vol - button needs to be held.

1) Power down your phone

2) Hold the vol - button

3) Press and release the power button

If this doesn't work for you, try the attached exe. It's one of the files that is included with each ROM Update Utility. Unzip it, copy it to your phone and run it. It should kick your phone straight to bootloader.
