Run super one click as admin and it works on the 5th or 6th try for me.

if it gets stuck on installing SU, enable and disable usb debug.

[Epic 4G General] watermoore:
So I have had my Epic now for around 3 weeks. I love the phone but I have to say that navigating around in our little corner of XDA is kind confusing! I am not a veteran but I am not a Noob either, I went through all of the WIKI's and Ask Your Questions Here thread's but there really was no starting point for new members, so I purpose that we start one. We could put it in the "Android Development" section and make it sticky. Maybe call it "Start Here". It could include information to help mitigate stupid redundant postings and help our new members get started.

Here is a list of some of the topics we could cover:

Trash your OEM USB CABLE!

Plug your cable into the BACK of your computer.

Installing drivers.

Rooting via One Click.

There is more to flashing a ROM then just Clockwork Recovery.

What ODIN is and why its important.

Using ODIN.

ROM base builds.

Installing modems that correlate to the right base build.

Unrooting.

I think if we give a simple place for Noob's or HTC veterans to start, we will inevitably cut down on a ton of redundant posts.

I know its frustrating because a lot of users dont like searching for answers. I would consider my self a digger, and I was still confused as to where I should start. If the mod doesn't want to do this, and there are no other volunteers, I dont mind drumming something up. I just didn't want to push forward without the blessing of my peers. Let me know what you think.
[Epic 4G General] S0ckM0nk3y:
I second this notion. Great Idea!!
[Epic 4G General] slipmaggot8:
I agree, also cover cyanogenmod, and now ext4. These are getting better and better every day : ). I'm also a digger. Waiting for Quantum Rom v 2.6 TO GO TO EXT4...CAN'T wait.....
[Epic 4G General] nikon120:
I think this would be very helpful. :-)
[Epic 4G General] DiGi760:
If you write it, they will come...

And continue to ask the same questions without reading
[Epic 4G General] snowmanwithahat:
I agree.... however, the Wiki is a wonderful start to exactly what you've been talking about and would probably be the most appropriate place for this informatoin
[Epic 4G General] humdrum2009:
Good idea but.

Leave the ext4 stuff out of the noob area.

some of that can really bugger a phone,1st timers shouldn't be playing around with that period.

Get am understanding of general terms first,

Get feet wet with Odin before you jump into ext4.

plus to a first timer doing this it would be confusing at best.

:)
[Epic 4G General] watermoore:
Good I am glad everyone agrees. I will start on it this weekend. I just had a Vasectomy and need to stay sitting down (insert excuse to use computer all weekend haha) so between my black op games I will start assembling the thread.
[Epic 4G General] elevenpoint7five:
HAHA! You're absolutely correct. Welcome to forums!
[Epic 4G General] DiGi760:
I've been around many forums in my day. I know how it works. :D At least when you have a good sticky you can link to it for all the noobs. Now if we could just come up with a plan to get everyone on this board to calm down.

When eclair was officially released to X10, I synchronised my contacts with the facebook application. The resulting contact images were of very poor quality. But the images due to timescape were of high quality, as always.

Is there a way to solve this problem?

And previously, I had synchronised my contacts with SonySync & gmail. After the update, it led to redundant phone numbers and email addresses.

Is there a way to sync contacts with Sonysync, gmail, facebook but still see just one phone number under a contact name?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mbolinao:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamiller42:
I like to use streaming apps like Slacker and Pandora and TuneIn in the car. If I leave 4g on, the phone will go in and out of 4g areas. It seems every streaming app I use can't handle this network change. It will pause and then rarely pickup where it left off.

It seems to me the responsibility for graceful network switches falls on the Sprint/HTC engineers. The switch should be nearly transparent to the applications using the net.

Not sure if ROM or kernel matters, but I was using Myn with #17 and Netarchy's 4.2.2 kernel for a while. Now trying Calk's Evio w/#15 and radio updates.

Anyone else finding their streaming apps choke on switches from 3g to 4g and vice versa?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathsled:
It's having to switch on the fly between two different network adapters essentially.

How well can does your streaming work on your PC/laptop when you yank the network cable out and make it flip over to wifi on its own accord?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topdawgn8:
I used to have huge issues with the switch before I upgraded the radios a couple months back. Like deathsled said, it has to disconnect before it can connect again. Now I think it is making the switch fast enough before it runs out of data in the buffer because I don't experience the issue any more.

One thing that is driving me nuts though is the new "You're 4G radio is turned on! Tap here to scan!" in the notification bar. That is REAAALY annoying when going down the road and the signal drops for more than 20 seconds because you have to first notice it, then bring down the notification curtain and then tap. Not very safe to do while driving...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamiller42:
Keeping with the NIC comparison, it is like the phone has 2 NICs. The phone is capable of having both connections, and it does for a brief time when a 4G connection is made.

3G is dropped only when a 4G connection has been established. If I had two NICs in a PC connected to the internet and pull the plug on one, Windows wouldn't skip a beat. If it did, it would be very brief. My streaming apps might have a hiccup, but I certainly wouldn't have to restart the stream.

I will give these new radios a test drive and see what happens.

I just used ODIN to flash to stock ROM and modem in attempt to solve my problem with adding gmail account to my phone. It worked. I added my gmail account no problem and I was finally able to visit Android market. However, I have new problem now.

When I go to Market and download applications, I see bubble with "Your item will be downloaded" after I click on install button and then nothing happens. Application is not installed. No errors - nothing.

Does anyone have a solution? It would be much appreciated.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtone:
settings >> applications >> manage apps >> go to 'all' tab >> look for market >> clear data

after that re-login to market and see if that fixes it
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekloc:
Thank you xtone. I tried that to no avail. In addition to clearing cache on Market I also cleared it from Google Talk as I read they are somehow connected. Then I erased cache of all my apps and still it didn't get me anywhere.

Last thing I tried was to uninstall Market update. After that I have slightly different issue. Now it says 'Starting download....' and it never goes away. Also, it looks like Market re-updated itself to the new version! Is it possible?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 1589139:
I'm having the same exact problem. My issue started with Nero v2 and did not get fixed when I flashed Nero v3. Today, I tried PepperKake to see if that fixed the problem, but that didn't work either.

Even after a fresh install (after wiping and re-flashing, and before restoring my backups from Titanium), I try installing things from the market but nothing works.

If you look closely (at least on my phone), it will say "Downloading..." for a second or two, then FLASH "Download unsuccessful" and disappear almost instantly.

Somebody PLEASE help :'( This is very frustrating.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Duce HD2:
This happens to me on "occasion" where it says starting to download then nothing happens. The only way I get it to work, is if I cancel the current "download in progress" or whatever it says, then click "Install" once again, and then it starts immediatelly.

Also, I noticed that it was giving problems when I was using the older version of the market. Once updated it went away.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 1589139:
Just tried this, didn't work for me :(
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Duce HD2:
Things that I found that could fix the problem...

Under settings>applications>manage applica.>running>clear data for "download manager", 'gmail".

Try re-formatting your SD card. Also, Unmount then Mount SD card.

Also, try using either data or WiFi and see if either works.

Do some research on this, there's alot of different threads concerning this issue, with possible solutions. :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 1589139:
Tried, didn't work :/

Also tried, but to no avail.

I've been on and off WiFi, but the problem persists.

I don't mean to sound rude, but why would this affect anything? I feel like the problem must be with either the ROMs (JL5 ROMs maybe?) or the Market? As a test, I downloaded something through the browser with no problem. Also, is wiping much different from reformatting? What about disabling, then enabling voodoo (which I had to do in order to try out PepperKake)? I know they said "don't knock it till you've tried it," but backing up everything, reformatting, and then restoring everything seems like a tedious job and I wanna make sure I know why it's worth a try before doing it...

Also, to the OP: sorry if I'm hijacking your post. I just didn't want to start a new post and have people flame me with "THERE'S ALREADY A POST ABOUT THIS!" and whatnot.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Duce HD2:
Dude, all the stuff I brought up, I found through research in a couple minutes. Some of things I posted ended up fixing the issue for some people and some not. I do not believe the problem resides in the ROM or JL5 (which I'm running with no issue) but rather mods and what not that was installed previously...."ghost"

In the OP he states he went back to stock, so how could it be the ROM???

You don't want to be rude, nor do some research on the problem judging by your response. You want someone to give you an answer is all. Nobody has an exact answer, you just have to try different things and see what works.

"nuff said...do some research.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 1589139:
No need to blow up like that...I was simply asking a question since this is the Q&A forum. I've had this problem for probably about two weeks and I have been searching through the forums, but I've never found a post where someone had the same exact problem (outside of the Nero post, but their questions went unanswered).

You bring up a good point about the OP using a stock ROM. However, I haven't installed any mods (I went straight to Nero from stock), so I'm not sure how there can be "ghosts."

Again, I'm not trying to be rude or appear lazy. There was no need for response like that. I'll take my research to solve my problem elsewhere.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Duce HD2:
I wasn't trying to be rude or anything.....but yes, there are various topics on issues with the market going from 2.2 back to 2.1 back to 2.2 and so on....hope you can find a solution to your problem, and maybe later share the outcome with us...good luck!:)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekloc:
Found the cause but still no fix

Thanks everyone for feedback. After few hours of trying different things I found what's causing my Android market to not work.

Thus far, what I was doing when I got into trouble was:

1. ODIN to stock ROM and pda (repartition checked)

2. root using this method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=723479

3. as soon as my phone is rooted Android stops working

So I tried to install all the apps I really need first: ROM Manager and TBackup (my ultimate goal is to upgrade to nero3. Everything works great. However to use these apps I need root access.

So then I rooted again using same method as always and I get same result :( - malfunctioning Android Market.

When I root using above method everything works great but I see old icon of superuser application. Is there a newer update.zip to root my vibrant? Or perhaps different way to root my phone? Can I do it manually?

I have two Vibrant phones. One had no problems when I did above steps. One continues to give me grief!

Even when I odin to stock I know not all the folders get refreshed. What actually is untouched when I use ODIN method to revert my OS?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekloc:
Duce HD2, what is the best way to eliminate 'ghosting' without bricking my phone? I also believe that it's caused by some mod that was done previously - I bought my phone used.

If reverting to 'stock' image is not good enough what else could I do to clean up my phone? I know for example that efs folder is unaffected by going back to 'stock' as my phone remains SIM unlocked when I do it.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcghee1973:
I still use the Super User that you have and have no problems....

ODIN back to JFD

Root

reboot into CWM recovery

Wipe cache partition

Advanced

Wipe Davlik

go back

Factory Reset/Restore

and you should have gotten rid of everything

There is an update.zip root on the cynanogenmod ailing page for Vibrant.

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Samsung_Vibrant:_Rooting

Don't know if its the new one.

Sent from THE Vibrant......
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Duce HD2:
The best way ,"I" know, is to ODIN back to stock true (JFD), check repartition. Go through the usual process - root, rom manager, etc. Flash new custom ROM, "important" while it's still in recovery after installation is complete don't rebooot yet, this is where you'll perform these steps:

Wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, fix permissions, perform factory reset. Then finally reboot phone.

I never ran into 1/10 of the problems that I see people having with their devices.

Also, after reboot make sure to leave your phone on idle for at least 15 minutes, so everything can properly get installed. Reboot, log in to gmail, give it 5 minutes, then reboot once again. Good to go.

Just like jmcghee1973 posted.

Give it a try and see if it works for you. Good luck.

Try using one click root as well. Never hurts to try...

Market working again

I followed the odin instructions, went back to stock, re-rooted, then re-installed nero3. This time I didn't restore system apps + data. My market is working. Hope this helps.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekloc:
It worked for me too when I installed nero3 - market issues were gone.

I am actually not so sure any more that rooting caused the problem. What I observed was that my phone was downloading 'stuff' on its own soon after I reverted to stock image. I know that because I saw few 'download unsuccessful' messages. I also tested this theory - I reverted to stock. Immediately after I could use market but then 20-60 after my Market was not working, even when phone was un-rooted!

I don't know how these automatic downloads were triggered but my latest theory is that they have a lot to do with not working Market app.

Anyway, Nero 3 is not downloading anything automatically and I am really happy with it. Thank you guys for everything. You guys rock!!!

I was flashing a rom and I got stuck on the bootload screen. I tried to do a nand backup and its not working. I think its because I just updated the new clockwork but didn't do a nand since I updated. Does upgrading my clockwork make me not be able to use nand done with old clockwork. Or is it anything I can do the get my phone working again.:eek:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bizdady:
I know Clockwork and Amon Ra nands aren't compatible, so who knows if your nand backup being from an older version recovery is the issue..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxomus:
Have you tried any other roms, our just the one? If not, do the while wipe out all deal & try a different rom, I prefer Ra myself, so i can't help you with clockwork too much, but in theory upgrading it shouldn't affect your ability took flash it nan, but like I said I'm not familiar with clockwork, but I have heard it can be a bit buggy at times. As well have you tried maybe flashing clockwork again, maybe something went wrong when you upgraded... There can't be much too it, just keep plugging away, it's pretty hard brick nowadays...

I read alot about people getting 3mb download speed, i never ever got more then 600kb...any ideas? is it my phone? or T-mobile service?

BTW with my X MyTouch 4g i got around 4.5mb (i know that the NS don't do 4g but still...)

I am in the Los Angeles area, Sherman oaks to be exact
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slowz3r:
Its all about the Network in your area, but if what your saying is true and your MT4G got 4.5 down then your NS should get that speed as well
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravidavi:
When you get 600kbps, does your Nexus S show that it has a 3G connection?

Also, have you exceeded your 5GB monthly data cap?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slowz3r:
just thought of this, are you mistaking kbps to kb/s if it is kb/s then your speed is golden
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irishrally:
kbps and kb/s are the same thing. I think you were trying to distinguish between kB/s and kb/s or kBps and kbps.

but yea you get what i mean
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coco135:
Yes, i am on 3G.

No, not even close to 5GB data cap

speedtest.net shows

657 kbps download and 1255 kbps upload

So no problem with the upload but download seems a bit slow for a phone and network that are capable to do 7.2MB, no?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dudeimgeorge:
wierd, you should be getting same results. I had a nexus one, had high 3.0mbs to low 4mb. with the nexus s i get about .4-.8mbs higher, have hit 5mbs alot.

thing is, i believe with future radio updates this thing will smooth out in regards to loyalty in staying in that arena, i have noticed some dropped out 3g coverage on occasion and no refresh after coming out of a subway..which was just wierd.

**just think of it this way, the nexus one got massive improvements after 6months of it existing and then perfected in the last 2-3 months. the nexus s should have the same principles.**

Hi, I have a question for the Nexus S owners.

Did you get your cellphone for $200 with a contract, or $529 without one, or did you find a way to get them cheaper?

I am considering buying one.

Nexus S speed cap is 7.2 down and 5ish up..which is plenty fast,
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aria807:
What's the point saying the device has a higher cap if the service provider don't give it to us?

Personally for myself, I'm in North Dallas and I never really see speeds past 2-3mbps; even when it says HSDPA. And I rarely hit HSDPA when streaming stuff so it's pretty much a useless 3G.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slowz3r:
The majority of all the carriers 4G is just backend.

ya the phone may be capable of 14.4 or what ever but you will never see that in real world situations, 4G in the end just means that there is more bandwidth for all of us to share.

but i have seen 6.5 down on my phone in my city which is blanketed by 4g goodness.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Greg Tolan:
Hi I am new here. i have been lurking for a bit but didn't find an answer to the question I have so I decided to sign up. First a little background... first time android user coming from an iphone. I really like the NS, couldn't be happier. I am also pleasantly surprised by T-Mobile's data speeds. I live in Manhattan and as everyone knows ATT is the pits for reliable service and fast data speeds there. I have gotten 5.11mbps down using the speed test app on T-Mo in my apt. With ATT I could only get .78mbps down as the highest. Videos, websites, music downloads are all really quick on the NS. It is actually faster then my cable provider's internet service...probably because time warner sucks and my cable is split about 45 ways. I happen to work in Jersey City, right on the Hudson river overlooking Manhattan. When I am in the World financial center in lower Manhattan commuting to work I get the same high data speeds as I do in my apt. The WFC is right across from where I work. When I check T-Mo's coverage map there are 2 cell towers a stones throw from my building on the river front. That being said I only get Edge coverage. Does anyone else have an issue with bad 3G to Edge handoff with the NS or with T-Mo in general? I feel like I should have solid 3G service there! Is there a way to force 3G?....I would assume that 2 bars on 3G is better then 5 on Edge, at least as far as data speeds are concerned. T-Mo's site list my job site as having excellent coverage. Also, I have eliminated the possibility that the building I work in is causing the issue. When I am outside the issue persists. I have about a .25 mile walk to my building in Jersey and all along the way I am sitting on Edge.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slowz3r:
kinda confused, are you using the phone on ATT or Tmo?

if its on ATT you will only be getting EDGE
