[Vibrant General] blizzard1017:
For the price of the Vibrants right now this is the best bang for your buck stock or not. Fast processor, very customizable, 14gig storage STOCK with an external slot to increase that to only the limits of microSD cards.

My opinion is the casual user will not notice a difference in 2.1 2.2 or 2.3 aside from some cosmetics which can be imitated by many free market apps. Casual user.....

For the non casual user I will reiterate what my fellow enthusiast have already pointed out. We are blessed with some REALLY talented ROM developers that have been nothing but generous with their time and efforts.

I have never gone to a manufacturer for support on any phone I have owned. Majority of the time the communities solve the problem 1000x faster.

I would also like to point out I am not biased to this phone because I own it lol, it just happens to be the one I own currently. I for one LOVE my Vibrant. I have had a g1, my touch, every iphone and some in between.
[Vibrant General] cthulion:
I have only used two other android phones: the Mytouch 4G and the G2. Both are hands down a much better user/android experience than the Vibrant i now own.

The only thing that makes me think about keeping the vibrant over these other phones is that the vibrant kicks their asses when it comes to audio playback, the quality is noticeably better.

Appart from that, battery life on the vibrant is lame, the screen is big but the colors are off, withes are actually blueish. The stock software is horrible, touchwiz is a joke, seriously, so is the fact that this thing still runs 2.1.

For the more that people talk about the speed of this phone, i found it to be incredibly laggy and slow, from apps to file transfers.

Ironically the best thing about the vibrant is that it made me use my phone a lot less than the Mt4G or the G2. The G2 made me a very anti-social person.

vibrant or nexus S

Currently have the iphone 4 from a trade I did with my nexus one. Going back to android! Stuck on which to choose the nexus S or the vibrant. Seems as if both phones are pretty much the same. Save a few hundred with the vibrant or go with the S
[Vibrant General] awaisuk:
Thanks for all the answers, I got the Vibrant!!!!

Now, when it arrives, then need to do some reading on roms,flash,root, etc as I dont know anything about them....

To get full flash in browser, and to get GPS to work fully (if it does not work, hopefully it will) what ROM is the best to flash? And by flashing that rom, will I lose any of the stock rom features?

Because my vibrant will have stock 2.1
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
I said the same thing to the T-Mobile Reps. a couple months ago The phone has actually changed the way I use smartphones. Before I was always tethered to my smartphone, now I have to make sure I don't forget to pick it up when I go or leave some place. I don't really use it that much. It's just not fun. I tend to carry my notebook with me, now, and of course my ZuneHD :P

I think my next phone will almost certainly have a full QWERTY slide-out. Swipes way of automatically adding typos to the dictionary is annoying. I spent like an hour last night just removing typos that kept registering as words when trying to send texts and stuff.
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
My thought is that the Vibrant is the best media device on the market right now. Great codec support, best screen, excellent storage.

I've considered buying the Nexus S to use as a phone and to keep the Vibrant like it's an iPod Touch, just a movie/music/game device.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
Lol @ best media device.

If Google Music actually existed, or MediaHub was somewhat use I'd be inclined to agree.

Droid X is actually a bit better, IMO. HDMI out, better DRM support, 8+16gb storage, almost as good a SoC, and proper OS updates, not to mention Moto App Platform blows TW away (resizeable and better widgets, better performance, a music widget, dlna, etc).
[Vibrant General] timmay2t:
I myself came from an iPhone 4 to the vibrant. After a couple roms, a soft brick, i was considering selling for a mytouch 4G. Decided to play around a bit, and now i'm pretty happy.

Eugenes Ginger Clone + Voodoo JL4 kernal + JL5 modem and this phone is wicked.

So if you know what you are doing, which most of this stuff is relatively easy, the Vibrant is the better phone.
[Vibrant General] PSP_Hacker:
Please, please just get the Nexus S.
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
from your experience, what's the bad thing about the iphone?
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
Meh, says you. I have 16 + 32gb storage, and can play virtually any music or video file under the sun. The DAC and opamp are excellent. BT is excellent. Games play better than on the Moto. Oh, and I'll take my SAMOLED over your ****ty screen for movies and games.

But sure, have fun with your super fun sizable widgets.
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
So much hatred.. but in the end, it's all Android devices.

There is no such thing as the "best phone," it depends on your personality and who you are.

Droid X is a good phone, but if you're looking to mod the phone with custom ROMs and all that... it's not the phone due to Motorola's strictness on custom ROMs.

... and the list goes on and on

Nexus one to iphone 4....don't care much for iphone 4, wife likes it though. So currently trying to decide between the nexus S or the vibrant? Not sure which way to go, vibrant development community seems strong and its a solid phone and $300 less typically
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
Agreed - having the ability to play MKV and xvid right out of the gate is very, very nice. And it's something only the GalaxyS has.
[Vibrant General] seanstoner:
Actually the vibrant has HDMI out through a 3.5mm Jack dongle (though expensive), and dlna is software based (all share is a dlna client and server that ships with the phone) .
[Vibrant General] timmay2t:
Nothing really, except being on T-Mobile i didn't get 3G. The camera, overal operating smoothness, and battery are lightyears better on the iPhone. But i think Android is in the right direction to cure those issues, and lets face it. Android is just plain more fun. Although i wish google would approve apps like apple does. At least to get rid of the ones that were half developed aren't worth a second of your time. The market seems flooded with alot of junk trying to find the good stuff. I'm still searching myself for fun apps.

And to who asked Nexus S or Vibrant? If you have the money, and don't need external storage, then i'd probably say get the Nexus S.

If you would rather spend 300 less, get the vibrant, put a good rom on it, and maybe even put a front facing camera in it. (It's a very simple task, i plan on doing the mod myself soon.)
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
The DROID X is far from impressive. I come in contact with one every other day for hours at a time, it's not impressive. On STOCK JI6 apps open faster, and I get back to the homescreen faster. On JL5 it's not even worth mentioning. If the owner of that phone had T-Mobile they would have a Vibrant. But they "got the best they could get on Verizon" because the Fascinate is not as good as the Vibrant.

Besides having awesome media support out of the box, the screen is great, build quality is good. JL5 - an unofficial Samsung FroYo update, is extremely good.
[Vibrant General] Drewstein:
What?

As in you didn't get "3g" in your area?

My t-mobile 3g borders on speeds of others 4g.
[Vibrant General] timmay2t:
The iPhone doesn't support T-Mobile's 3G bands, so when you unlock an iPhone for Tmo you don't get anything better then edge. That was my main reason for the switch to an Android phone.
[Vibrant General] tphone:
Nexus S is definitely better because it's space travel proof, tested by Google LOL: http://googlemobile.blogspot.com/2010/12/android-in-spaaaace.html

However, I am not giving up my Vibrant until the contract ends
[Vibrant General] Alex530:
Bull**** you say? Your post was bull. Droid x is nothing but a downgraded evo.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
Vibrant get TV-Out through the Headset port. It does not get HDMI-Out through that port.

Droid X is a better phone than the Evo, aside maybe the stock Launchers.

Anyone who thinks a stock JI6 Vibrant performs on par with a Droid X is retarded.

The Droid X has better software running on it (the launcher ourperforms TouchWiz) and does not suffer from the same I/O bottlenecks the Vibrant exibits.

It's been well-known since day one that the Droid X ourperforms stock Galaxy S phones whilst giving better battery life and much better call quality/reception.

Can they find out if some how if I keep using this App without adding the feature on my Verizon account?

Full screen caller image, 320x320 px, works on Froyo. Only for 320x480 screen resolution. First, you should backup old Phone.apk and Contacts.apk.

[Galaxy Tab General] whoisariston:
Hi all,

Before I got my Tab I bought a Tmo Vibrant which is still my primary phone. I am trying to figure out from everyone else how you manage having multiple android devices. Do you give people the number of your Tab and tell them that it is for texting only but no calls? Do you just use your Tab for general internet and use your other device for texting / calling?

[Galaxy Tab General] pda_crazy:
I use my tab for all. I use Bluetooth handsfree for all calls and use it for internet and texts. I use it in my car for navigation. So i use only one device for all.
[Galaxy Tab General] whoisariston:
The challenge is, I have no desire to flash a new ROM to allow for calls. I bricked my Vibrant flashing so I'm a little gun shy! Because I'm in the US, I can't make calls using the Tab, so I'm pretty much stuck with two devices. I want to switch everything over to the Tab so I can do it all from there, but the calls issue is a drawback to that.
[Galaxy Tab General] whoisariston:
Rob,

So do you use Google Voice for VOIP calls from your Tab? I have a Google Voice number, but the text messaging interface in GV is pretty horrible. It's convenient, but it needs more functionality.
[Galaxy Tab General] LordLugard:
Google Voice on Android is not a VOIP app.
[Galaxy Tab General] vamp6x6x6x:
I to have a Vibrant and a Tab..

See, what I do is I use the Vibrant for calls texts and all apps that would be weird to be on the Tab such as the sonic screwdriver or the lifesaber apps.

And I use my tab more for like email and whatnot...here's the breakdown:

The Vibrant is an extension of my Tab, and the Tab is an extension of my laptop.

I mean, I can remove all Motoblur widget off the "desktop" even without Launcher Pro, but it will still run under the background, such as CasheService/ SimSwapHandlerService and bunch of weather/ news/ social thingy.

I could delete some Blur via Titanium Backup, but, I will be facing more trouble to "reinstall" back when factory reset.
[Bravo General] Grape Drank:
They don't make the phone any slower, I don't really see what the problem is. All of the customized manufacturer phones have this stuff. Touchwiz, Sense, they all have their information aggregation widgets. Task killers aren't going to do anything but kill your battery from constantly trying to kill those services. If you want to get rid of it, get people here to get use a stock rom of 2.2 or 2.3.
[Bravo General] no clue:
Actually, it does cause bit of lag while scroll through selections.

I have 2 cliq, one on T-mobile ( that force to register ) and one w/ European firmware ( one can bypass ) and it is indeed causing bit of lag.

* try to scroll your "running services", if you have chance.

Well, since we are talking about Bravo here. I'd happy to point out the news/weather/socialstatus is on constant sync. ( Only way is to kill it via titanium backup. "Task Killers" wouldn't work )

Oh, Motoblur will kidnapped your contact as well. There is no way to store it on the phone. (even I killed all ATT app)

I am not trying to be difficult on Motoblur, I just thought, it is only fair that the U.S. model should let user choose what they want. ( isn't it the idea of been American? LOL )

eebluroffee on first screen on first boot. Works. I do it every sbf flash. There's also a line in build.prop to disable some blur. Will post it later when I remember it. :p

Add on only this lines to your build.prop

ro.mot.deblur=true

ro.mot.setuptype=2

data/cache wipe your rom and .... --> no more Motoblur-Account

Other than that, for a blurless rom, either port over a deblured Defy Nordic rom, or just use any other rom available for the Bravo. Any are much better than stock. I recommend CM7 or MIUI for stability, but CM9 is working great now and only has a few minor issues. There really is no point in using the stock rom anymore --> Really outdated, slow, odexed, and a ton of inbuilt apps that depend on each other. If you do like stock, then try BravoX. Its the closest thing to a deblured stock rom that we have.
