[Vibrant General] bababe:
Thank you all for the inputs. I wish to see more. On the tec spec, they r pretty much the same. I wish the Captivate doesnt have the turn off issue.
[Vibrant General] PaiPiePia:
my personal opinion, that the captivate looks much better than a Vibrant though.
[Vibrant General] jamesyl:
One of my friends has the Captivate and for some reason he suffers from this exact issue. I wasn't aware it was so prevalent.

I've used a Vibrant since July and I've been reading these forums for a long time -- haven't seen any systemic shutdown on standby issues.
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
yeah. I really like how the captivate looks. I'm not saying that the vibrant is ugly for me but it really looks like an iphone.
[Vibrant General] mattchew008:
*I had similar issues

When I first purchased my T-Mobile Vibrant, I had this problem for the first 3-5 days or so.

However for the past week I haven't had an issue at all.

I'm not sure what the problem was, but I did notice when I made changes to improve the battery (turn off wifi, black background, no background data) the issues stopped.

Maybe try that and see if it helps?
[Vibrant General] bababe:
yeah, I agree. I just so into the design of the captivate, but the shutdown issue drive me nut.

So far, the shutdown issue only happen on Captivate model. I think I can go with Vibrant. I'm not techie but anyone can enlighten me the differences between the two.

One more thing is can the vibrant load custom rom as easy as Captivate. I ask this because i see some hardware locks or something with the vibrant been discussing here. I dont own the vibrant so I have no Idea.

Thank you all for da inputs guys. BIg help:)
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
For one you can use Vibrant on AT&T 1900MHz UMTS 3G and of course on T-Mo UMTS 1700/2100 MHz freqs, but you cannot use Captivate on T-Mo US 3G network - you will be on EDGE.

The GPS internal software subsystem on the Captivate is different from Vibrant, but it still suffers/suffered from not so optimal GPS performance.

I think these are the two major differences aside from the looks and hardware build.
[Vibrant General] bholyk:
I am on AT&T and went through 3 captivates in 2 weeks because they all had the shutdown issue. I got fed up and ordered an unlocked vibrant online from buy.com. I have not had one single issue with the phone. No shutdown issues or any other problem for that matter. I do not get quite the 3g signal that I have gotten with previous smart phones which may be because it is only using the one frequency (not trying to speculate, just my guess) or just that AT&T doesn't have the best service to begin with. Either way, I have no complaints and think its a great phone. However, CES is this weekend and they have already shown some of the new phones that will be coming to AT&T so I would go to androidcentral and check out the new stuff so you can make a fully informed decision on what phone to get if you can wait a little.
[Vibrant General] intruda119:
I get some weird upload mode shutdown with eugenes work. Also panic mode. Think its to do with accessing the ext memory card. Usually happens when playing music.
[Vibrant General] bababe:
I got time to spare, i guess i take your advice. Honestly, I have never trust Samsung products. It is just their Captivate design and their screen lead me to doom.:mad:
[Vibrant General] wbexpress:
I am surprised that nobody has yet said anything about "Captivate Keep Alive" (obviously, in the Market). I have a Vibrant and do get the random shutdown thing every few days. I will say that this app helps, does not/has not solved it completely. I would say to try it out with a few different thresholds, maybe it will work for you.
[Vibrant General] bababe:
:eek:you got Shutdown on Vibrant too.. Oh man, what sup with the Galaxy S product line... I love Captivate, but it shutdown. I wanna move to Vibrant so i can have a pretty strong fone with the pretty good price. But it looks like it not happenning:eek:
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
The vibrant don't really have the shutdown issues like the captivate.
[Vibrant General] os2baba:
I have had the Vibrant from the day it was released. I never had a shutdown problem. Although I have had it shutdown once since I installed Nero v3 a few days ago. But it's been stable since then.

But if you are getting a new phone, my advice is look around for alternatives before settling for the Vibrant. It's great hardware (as you are aware from the Captivate), but Samsung's support sucks eggs. This is my last Samsung phone. If you are going to T-Mobile, check out the G2. The hinge is crappy, the display is not as good and the screen size is too small for me. But apart from that, it is how the Vibrant should be running. I found the lower end T-Mobile Optimus surprisingly snappy as well. Both run circles around the Vibrant which is pathetic since the Vibrant has better hardware.

Having said that, Nero v3 is much better than stock Eclair on the Vibrant. But I see stuttering and lag on it as well. But not nearly as much. And the battery life with Nero has been absolutely awesome.
[Vibrant General] bababe:
wao. I know Samsung is ..... I never use one but since they have such a great hardware. I decided to go with Samsung Captivate which was a mistake. But I still give samsung a second chance by considering the Vibrant. I love my Captivate so much. It's such a great phone that why I want to replace with the Vibrant. Captivate's sister, I may say. Thank you for your advice though. I dont wanna use any slider or flipper anymore. All of my dumb flip. slide fone all dead due to the flex cable. Thank for your advise. I see that your VIbrant does it job well for you. I guess I will go with it. I'm about 70% sure now. hihih
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
Didn't I read in Captivate forum that AT&T and Samsung have acknowledged the issues pertaining to a sudden device reboot, non-responsiveness?

There are certain IMEI numbers that are affected, and units shipped recently should not suffer from this issue.
[Vibrant General] bababe:
yeah, they have the doc about the issue. The IMEI range bla bla bla. still it not helping, I still hear someone with good IMEI built number ect.. still got dead on sleep. Anyway, I just concern about Vibrant now since Captivate is a time bomb in my opinion.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
The SGH-T959 doesn't have this problem at all.
[Vibrant General] Dammit2Hell:
My brother in law had three captivates that all shut down while on standby....not rebooting, just shutting down.
[Vibrant General] bababe:
yep. That what Captivate users r getting. I'm on the same boat too. It easy for ppl with warranty to walk.call over to get replacements. However, Ppl with ebay or used stuff. They r left hanging, and they end up putting them back on ebay to put their suffering to others. The first owner of these faulty Captiate should go with ATT to get replacement before they can ditch those faulty units on ebay or else where. Or be honest atleast. Be :aware with Cheap NEW CAPTIVATE. :(
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
I have read somewhere that the shuting down of the captivate is a feature of the phone to save battery since the phone is not being used. :D
[Vibrant General] bosslabs:
Shutdown on vibrant? never happened to me(and I flash all ROMs :) )
[Vibrant General] bababe:
OMG ..... this sound like a flaw more than a FEATURE. YOu have da fone. you have to turn it on, wait for boot, make a call, put back to your pocket, it turns off. Then keep repeating whenever you wanna do something with the fone. You know it very cool.hahaa. No one can call you. It would be considering a feature if we live in some asia countries where cell fee is ridiculous:rolleyes:. hahaaha

T-Mobile Vibrant

My T-Mobile Vibrant has the "sleep of death" as well.

I bought my Vibrant (3G) about two months ago. Came stock with eclair. I then updated to Froyo with the Samsung Kies software. The phone would shutdown (more like it locks up but you'd have hold the power button to reboot it) randomly overnight.

I searched about this problem and it seems a lot of people are having the same problem. However, it seems many of the people that has/had this people are from Canada with Bell being their mobile carrier. I'm from the U.S. and T-Mobile is my carrier. My phone is now rooted and is using custom ROM (Bionix 1.31 by TeamWhiskey). The shutdown problem has not gone away.

I tried all sorts of temporary fix suggested by many people. From disabling APN to locking to 850 band, nothing helped. Speculation for the shutdown is that it has something to do with bad reception. Not in my case. I live in an area with good reception. Also, I canceled my data plan and the shutdown is still happening. Really frustrating as I have searched all over the Internet for a fix. It seems not many T-Mobile Vibrant is having this problem though. I decided to post here just to let it be known that indeed T-Mobile Vibrant experience this issue too.
[Vibrant General] infestedd:
Hi! i think i can help you. i had exactly the same issue, and after a WEEK! thinking it would be a software issue i discovery what it is.

First, not many ppl, to say none have this issue on 2.2 vibrant, i searched the entire net and found only one case.

So please, even it sounds stupid, try it!

My battery, seens to be VERY tight in the phone, it have no gaps, but, if i hit the back of the phone on the right place, with a sharp hit, it turns off. it turned off one time when i gently put on my desk, but kept on when i just let it fell to the ground! so u might THINK its not the battery, but it is!

so try this: just with a small clip, pull the battery contacts from the phone, just be carefull not to break. to make SURE it will be tight, put a small piece of paper pressing on the lower part of the battery pressing it trought the conectors (near where the microphone of phone is). I can assure you that this WILL work!

Or , on a last try, ppl in brazil have this issue on sgs i9000 caused by bad sim cards (damaged ones) you can try get a new one, or let the phone without it to see if it shut downs

hope i helped you
[Vibrant General] Yellow C6:
My wife's Vibrant has random shutdown issue. Her first Vibrant died after repeated random shutdown. The replacement has started to act up recently and she's getting random shutdown again. She's on stock firmware.
[Vibrant General] dsuycott:
Interesting. Since running a Captivate port I have been experiencing a few random shutdowns from time to time...like five minutes ago, never had them before.

Maybe just a coincidence.

Like a really damn sexy iPhone. I personally think the craptivates look ugly. But thats my opinion. To each their own.

New to xda forums.. my HTC HD2 just came in and I have been researching how to put android 2.2 on it for a few days now.. I just need a foolproof way to do this is my radio is compatible and if there are gonna be any flaws once i do it. please and thanks.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disorder2012:
Hi sorry if this is the wrong place or has been asked a million times, but I tried installing the 'official' RUU listed below on my HTC Desire and now its buggered

It seems to run along ok until it comes to 80% or so then gives an error 110 after turning the bar red.

- the file I tried was: RUU_Bravo_Froyo_O2_UK_2.14.207.1_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_144166_signed.exe

And as it is on o2, and not modified in anyway..Now its stuck on a black htc screen with 4 exclamation triangles. Power+vol down are not doing anything and I've tried running a few of the dev tools (adb /fastboot) with no luck, any suggestions please?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
Run the 2.29 wwe ruu and see the problem solves itself.you can apply ether o2 ruu later.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disorder2012:
Thanks hehe, I have discovered it has a bootloader/hboot corrupted partition and I can actually boot into it with the dev command:

fastboot oem boot

Unfortunately, it does mean I have to do this every time I need to use it but it seems to be sort of resolved as my provider very nicely offered me a replacement (o2 uk were very nice about it)

Thanks again for your answers, but it looks like I have got rescued. I still would have liked how to fix it manually, but I guess some things are not meant to be meddled with :)
[Android Software Development] Eppidemic:
I searched the entire forum for emoji and nothing came up to my surprise? There has to be a million threads on this. Feel free to direct me to the most current one, if you know....

Just wondering if google will ever support this. Emoji is huge and very fun to text with. Google already has it for there IM service, so why not on there phones. For me, this would be the single coolest/fun little add on they could do. I know nothing of programming but cant help to think it wouldn't be that hard to add... Only reason I could think they wouldn't is that they dont want to copy iphone... But who really cares with something little like this. iphone didn't invent emoji or emoticons...

I've tryied some of the emoji apps... no disrespect to the dev, but they are horrible for everyday use... its something Android will have to implement im guessing...
[Android Software Development] makbeezy:
I want 2 bump this thread 2 also find a keyboard or something that can be used on Android.
[Android Software Development] doktornotor:
GO SMS has emoji... (not that I would use that feature :p)
[Android Software Development] aussieglis:
Yup, I use it myself, and it works perfectly. My mom who has an iphone gets the emoji's right into her iphone from my android when I put them into text messages in GoSms. :)
[Android Software Development] doktornotor:
Also, search for MultiLing Keyboard on the market...
[Android Software Development] window7:
Try GO SMS :) It's awesome as it has intergrated emoji :)
[Android Software Development] window7:
True, I seldom use emoji when it comes to texting. Haha.

Different when it comes to IM. Hehe :D
[Samsung Mesmerize] droidroidz:
I know GPS has some inherent issues all together, but lately i haven't gotten mine to work at all. I am running rooted stock rom with voodoo kernel. Anyone else having similar problems with GPS or tricks to get it to work? It just keeps saying location is unavailable...

UPDATE:

Nevermind on this, it seems that wifi and GPS are linked somehow..as soon as i turned on wifi GPS started working. I could then turn wifi back off and GPS continued to work fine.
[Samsung Mesmerize] dcow90:
Yeah I have no idea why that is but that's what worked for me as well.. Annoying isn't it =/

Hello.

A friend of mine tried to flash a rom and now his HTC Touch HD is stuck at the screen which is shown on the picture.

Is it possible to repair the Device?

Sorry for the bad quality of the picture. He only sent me this one.

Thanks in advance!
[Touch HD General] lumisab:
Hi

you have to Hardreset you device in you original state,to do that,you have to presse the volume button (Plus & minus) both together at the same time,than the red reset button beside your SDcard,at first presse both volume button,and stay on it, than a short presse on the red reset button, look on the screen of you phone, after a couple a secound you will get the 3Colored screen if you see the 3colored screen take the pressure from the volume buttons,after that it is everything explaind on the screen to go back to you original ROM, it takes sometimes more than one tray to get to the colored screen,berause the pressure have to be exact on both, plus and minus volume.
[Touch HD General] SHARPSH00TER:
Thank you very much. I will tell my friend to do that. If other people read this and think that its a good idea to do it this way maybe you can tell me. So I can be sure ;) I dont want to tell him something wrong.

Btw this portal is awesome!! :)

Hi

It is the only and saves't way to get a phone with this kind of issue to work and to its original ROM
[Folio 100 Themes and Apps] Dexter_nlb:
Taken from the Cyanogen mod for Viewsonic G tablet, the DSP manager + associated DSP Manager, will enhance your audio just a little bit.

If its liked and no serious problems found, ill add this to my next Mod update.

attached file should be renamed to "update.zip" and install just like other patches for the FolioMod's.

Let me hear some feedback, both good and bad :-)
[Folio 100 Themes and Apps] smireneuf:
i ve just installed it on tntmod 0,4 and it works fine, i was looking for a equalizer and you made this update, thanks it' s a good start, i was using the equalizer of my milestone audio effect and it works good too.

many thanks
[Folio 100 Themes and Apps] Dexter_nlb:
nice, you mean the AudioEffects application? that one i have on my milestone too :-) ill test that one too..
[Folio 100 Themes and Apps] smireneuf:
yes that one, i think it's a efficient one with good headphones, thanks Moto
[Folio 100 Themes and Apps] tshoulihane:
Works for me, not sure if I need it, but will try with a portable speakers setup to see how the headphone output level compares (I think the built-in speakers are very close to junk)
[Folio 100 Themes and Apps] Dexter_nlb:
close? you must mean those are junk.. they didnt invest much in sound here :-)

Im gonna check the Moto App, as it was quite ok on milestone and see if external speakers too sound like on my milestone. then its for sure included in next update.
[Folio 100 Themes and Apps] smireneuf:
The moto one is definitely the best with headphones with custom mode extra bass and so but with the speakers it s not as efficient as with the milestone speakers
[Folio 100 Themes and Apps] kepler1982:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nelvbautista:
Any suggestions? tips? TIA
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Jackos:
Hardware fault? The device loads the rom, even starts the customization. Probably a mainboard change is needed.

Sorry for not being helpful at all. Sometimes **** happens and there is nothing we can do.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Jackos:
As a last step you could try to change the HSPL, but I doubt it will help.

MOD EDIT: The file you are describing and instructing users to search for is a Rip-Off of the OliNex Hard-SPL and not allowed to be posted without direct permission from either Cmonex or Olipro.

My edit: Sorry, I had no idea it's a rip-off.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nelvbautista:
Could MTTY help? Since I've already restored this back to stock ROM & SPL, I couldnt do HardSPL anymore to attempt MTTY, I also have the following on my bootloader screen. Hope someone could help me decipher what it means. Really hope I can still revive my TP2.

RHOD210 32M SS-BC

SPL-0.87.0000

MicroP(LED) 0x0A

MicroP(KEY) 0x04

TURBO HW/TURBO SW

NO TP MFG DATA

Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Jackos:
It means just that the bootloader is working fine. Since you load any rom without problems I suspect a hardware fault.

I do not think that MTTY could help in any way.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cmonex:
probably HW issue. but just out of curiosity what does info 8 show in mtty?

(you can use mtty with stock SPL too, just fewer commands available, info command should work ok)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nelvbautista:
I ran MTTY, I think I did task29 (I think I shouldn't have done so...) Here's what info 8 showed...

Really hoping I could still fix this without resorting to warranty exchange. This is a T-mobile branded TP2 with warranty jurisdiction in the US. As per HTC online customer care, I could ask for HTC US or EU for global warranty coverage. T-mobile's warranty (and exchange) would only apply if I'm in the US. Unfortunately this was bought from Singapore & I'm using it in the Philippines thats why I want to exhaust all means to fix this. Appreciate all inputs guys.
