[G Tablet General] jmdearras:
The tendency for the GTab to reset to the viewsonic birds screen when awakened is making the the device useless to me. I'm used to using my Droid Incredible for a while, then putting it to sleep, and later picking it up and continuing where I left off.

When I set the GTab down, I have to count on it restarting on waking, which means I might as well power it down. Not every time, but often enough, and the longer it sits, the more likely it is to crash,

What is your experience?
[G Tablet General] rayden25:
I have run into that with various different roms. I don't know why. I was on VEGAn 3 and it didn't happen. I just updated to VEGAn 5.1 and it's happening. I am thinking about reflashing back to stock and starting over to see if it makes a difference.
[G Tablet General] coolking2k:
I have this issue with VEGAn 5.1 but not stock rom.
[G Tablet General] cscotty:
I experience it also but not as often as any of you. I'm on vegan 5.1. A fix wild be nice.

[G Tablet General] jmdearras:
vegan 5.1?

I was also running vegan 5.1. I had tried different kernals, but always 5.1 as the os. Interesting. I am now back to stock (ugh), and it has not reset on wake once. Which roms do not seem to have this issue?
[G Tablet General] Coldfirex:
I have been seeing this the last couple of days. Stock 3389 with the performance pack.
[G Tablet General] jmdearras:
Just crashed from overnight on stock. My wife also has one, still on stock that has never crashed. I am strongly suspecting there IS a hardware issue with some of these gtabs. :(:(
[G Tablet General] nochancenine:
Mine reset 3 times tonight on wake-up using Vegan 5.1

It seems to happen if left idle for longer periods of times, like maybe more than an hour or so. Now I'm back on Stock 3389 to see if it still happens.
[G Tablet General] rayden25:
I have the issue everytime on Vegan 5.1, but not 3 or TNT Lite 4. Same issues on two tabs. I love Vegan, but switched back to TNT because it's so annoying. TNT Lite 4 is very stable in my experience.
[G Tablet General] treenuts:
Using VEGAn 5.1, I experience the same problem. If I let the device idle for more than an hour or so, it seems to restart instead of coming out of standby mode.

Hey don't get me wrong, it's better than the old lag-on-wake issue, but it definitely limits the usefulness of the tab.
[G Tablet General] Coldfirex:
Out of curiosity I upgraded to Clemsyn's TNT 10.9.8 kernel (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=895825), but am still having the same issue. :(
[G Tablet General] jmdearras:
I am now using Vegan 5.1 and Pershoot's latest 2.6.32.28 - VFPv3_FP - Gtab/Zpad kernel, with everything wiped clean, and it has all but eliminated the problem.

Jim
[G Tablet General] rayden25:
Both my tabs now do it on TNT Lite 4.0. Very frustrating... this is my biggest complaint right now. I guess I need to go back to older roms.
[G Tablet General] Coldfirex:
Has anyone tried to debug this or give VS support a call (since I saw it on Stock (w/ the performance pack of course))?
[G Tablet General] kodakeos:
have any of you tried using the volume buttons to wake it rather than the power button. Mine likes to flash on and off when i press the power button to sleep as my fingers like to find the back and home button when im holding it with one hand to press the power.

Also, ive heard that the "power on" length, and reset press and hold length are really short on vegan 5. try just jabbing the power button and not pressing it till you see it do something.

Mines on 5.1 and i dont really ever have it reset, but Im aware of these 2 and usually either jab the power button, or use the volume button
[G Tablet General] nochancenine:
Thanks for this info. Yesterday I restored my backup of Vegan 5.1 and then installed Pershoot's latest kernel and haven't had the reset on wake problem since. It appears to have fixed the problem for me.
[G Tablet General] Coldfirex:
So do you think this could be resolved by going to Vegan or simply Pershoot's kernel?
[G Tablet General] mjg7876:
Could you that have fixed this issue, post the exact version of the kernels you are running? I have tried 4 different versions, but still can't get it to wake without reboot.

Thanks

Is there any way to get a widget to show up in launch menu?
[Galaxy Tab General] 2token2:
Or maby how to make a "shortcut" to the widget to make it show up in the program menu as a regular program. I guess i would be able to "select" it in the long press search button launch menu.

Maby someone know of an application that does the same as the "total silence" widget. That will say, turn off ALL sound when executed without asking any questions and then set all soundsettings back to previous setting when run again?
[Galaxy Tab General] GANJDROID:
Widgets arent meant to be launched like apps..

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domtru:
I own a vibrant and I am familiar with the ins and outs of the device however my friend is a new android user with the Evo and I am trying to help him understand why it is in his best interest to "dive in". What are some of the specifics when it comes to this device that he will appreciate when I tell him? Thanks a million!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adam1422:
Where to start:

1. flashing custom roms that the awesome devs here create

2. getting rid of all the bloat ware from sprint

3. custom kernels that will make your battery life great

4. custom splash screens

5. custom boot animations

6. wireless tether for free

7. all the apps that are for rooted phones only

I am sure I am leaving some things out but this would be a good start!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roy.money:
My reason for rooting was quite simple. I hate having software installed on my devices, that I can't remove. All the junk that came on it from Sprint was bad, but the fact I couldn't do anything about it led me to rooting. I had a difficult time finding anyone who actually bricked their phone using any of the methods in this forum. There were a few that got stuck at the bootloader for a while, but not bricked. So in the end, I could remove the junk Sprint put on it, and there wasn't a whole lot of risk. Once I rooted I found many other advantages. My phone is now customized completely, and you'd have a tough time finding someone with the same setup. I get to change everything to be how I like it. It also responds much faster now, although that could be in my mind. I would advise anyone that wants to accept therisk, to just go ahead and do it. You'll like it once you do.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phatmanxxl:
Mainly to remove the Sprint junkware for me.

Oh yea like Timothy said to remove ads, I hate ads all up in my apps.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timothydonohue:
remove the sprint bloat, and install ad-free. an ad free experience is a must on my phones. if i can't root and remove the stupid ads, i wont' get the phone.

custom ROMs are a bonus, because most of the time you can just buy custom launchers etc to get around sense, if you don't like it.

[Desire Themes and Apps] Yathushan:
Hi,

I am currently using cyanogen mod 6.1.1. I am very happy with the rom. However, the one thing I would like to alter is the camera app. Is there an app out there which is able to take 720p videos and high quality images as well?

Thank you
[Desire Themes and Apps] Rabadabadingdongable:
You could try "lgcamera". I've tested it briefly on a sense rom and it looks promising.
[Desire Themes and Apps] mastersjef:
Sadly enough not higher than 3.2 megapixel
[Desire Themes and Apps] Yathushan:
Just wondering, for froyo does the native camera app not support 720p video recording? If so, is this issue address in gingerbread?
[Desire Themes and Apps] Rabadabadingdongable:
That's curious. On my phone I can set 2592x1952 and my arithmetic makes it 5 megapixels ;-).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miami_Son:
I sync my music using Windows Media Player. Almost all of my songs have album art that displays fine in WMP. For some reason, only about 30% of the songs I sync to my Cappy have their album art displayed in the List or Now Playing views. In WMP it's easy to see why a song doesn't display album art because those files are visible within the folders (they have cryptic names and sizes, but all have a Folder.jpg file of the art), but Android only shows the music file. Looking at the folders for the songs that display correctly compared to ones that don't I see no difference. I used to have an app on WinMo that fixed issues with album art, but no such app exists on Android. Any ideas what is causing this? I want all my songs to display album art instead of that goofy blurred color thing.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
There are a few apps that will download the album art, but what I think it is that the ones that work might have the info embeded in the id3 tags. Just a thought.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miami_Son:
Yeah, I thought that, but I do that for all my mp3s. There's no rhyme or reason why some work and some don't. I'll give the Market a look.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvin02:
It is possibly the format of the tags. I use Mp3tag on Windows to tag my files. I write ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags to the files. It's a free program, the dev accepts donations.

I really like mp3tagger pro (about $1.30) from the market for tagging files on the phone. Dev Site It found album art for some of my files that programs on my PC did not locate (Media Monkey, Album Art Downloader and Mp3tag).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pietro_spina:
I like this free app to fix album art on my phone.

Album Art Grabber

http://timothyjc.blogspot.com/2010/08/album-art-grabber.html

if you want to fix the situation in your pc's music library... try embedding the art in the tag...

though I don't think that is necessary. as none of mine is embedded. I have a 'cover.jpg' file in every folder though... and those images then show up in my gallery until I delete them. (after the cover thumbnails have been made
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miami_Son:
Thanks, guys. I ended up going with ID3Tagger because it was the only one that does WMA and other formats besides MP3. I often use WMA because the quality is the same as a 128k file, but the file sizes are smaller. Tried the free version and liked it enough to buy the paid one. It isn't fast when you have as many songs as I have, but it works and well.

One of the reps at my local T-Mobile store told me he was almost totally sure that T-Mobile would get the Optimus 2X.
[Vibrant General] oka1:
Interesting, the new Motorola and the S2 are both looking way awesome as well.......... The next gen is going to be hard to choose with the new Dell and the new Vizio.....hmmm 2011 going to be a good year for the tech minded......
[Vibrant General] Boss_Diva:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHaDiI2ekFw&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Most definitely my next phone :-)
[Vibrant General] Boss_Diva:
And he states that it will be available on t mobile on the vid.. no estimated release date yet though
[Vibrant General] Boss_Diva:
The Motorola atrix 4g actually has a finger print scanner on it! It also has a dual core processor... hmmm.. what a dilemma im gonna be in if t mobile gets both of these!!
[Vibrant General] richiehd:
At 20-30 secs in, they mention it has an IPS LCD display. LG makes the Retina display for Apple and a quick google of IPS LCD pretty much only mentions the Retina.

I know the LG Black has that new screen but if the O2X has a retina, I'd bite.
[Vibrant General] vapotrini:
Yeah, I like the LG too.

How much Ram does it have, does anyone know? Can't seem to get a definitive answer anywhere.

I'm still leaning a little more towards the Atrix though.

Atrix>X2: Higher resolution, much bigger battery, gorilla glass, FM radio, 16 gig internal vs 8, plus all the docks.

X2>Atrix: Higher res camera - pics and videos

Nice to see the Atrix is coming with all sorts of codecs included too. If they would take away motoblur and slap a xenon camera on it, it would have (on paper) been the ultimate device. Still kinda is... The only kind of let down I see is that the screen doesn't appear to be as good as the LG, the colours from what I can tell don't seem to be as vibrant. Hope I'm wrong...
[Vibrant General] richiehd:
Atrix has Motoblur. I'm not a fan of custom skins due to software updates taking forever, but Blur=Bad.
[Vibrant General] jhepoy:
This will be my next phone too.. I was thinking of getting the Nexus S, but the lack of expansion slot turned me off...
[Vibrant General] synaesthetic:
Atrix is Motorola and Verizon, guys--the 4G is LTE, not HSPA+. Not T-Mobile.

Knowing Motorola, it's got blur puked all over it and has a locked bootloader. No thanks.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
With the specs on that phone, and tha dockability of it, i'd take it with blur 1.0 much less the current one. The current blur isn't that bad. It's a keeper as far as i'm concerned...
[Vibrant General] richiehd:
If this was a stock device (like I read the device was initially going to be), I would have waited outside on launch. Regardless, I am planning on waiting till after MWC to pick my newest poison.

I want to see if HTC has anything up their sleeve for T-Mo. I hate Sense but they update their phones. ::looks at Evo::
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
holy ****, a phone that runs nvidia graphics?
[Vibrant General] robavila721:
i read on the mobile buzz widget that tmo will probably get the lg black while att will probably get the 2x, i hope the rumor isnt true but we all know that tmo almost always gets the short end of the stick. :(
[Vibrant General] helikido:
You guys do know that this phone beastly or not eden beats our galaxy s device when it comes to graphics. On nenamark1, galaxy s scored less than 5 fps lower than the optimus 2x on 2.1. I'm pretty sure my phoney is future enough. Not worth to upgrade for any phone. Also ip as is never as good as the super amoled for games movies and anything like that.
[Vibrant General] jmcghee1973:
Id like to get my hands on the Sony Zues 1.... or PSP phone as its dubbed
[Vibrant General] darkside79:
Love my vibrant. But when the LG 2x comes out im selling my vibrant. Unless Samsung comes out with something close to the same specs as the LG or better. My tax return will be paying for it.

[Vibrant General] helikido:
I think it's dumb not to wIt for the galaxy s2. We Ll know it will be auper powered like the galaxy s was
[Vibrant General] biggahboy:
When this phone drops...I'm definitely selling vibrant....samsung you better come up with something more than a pretty screen :p
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
and still we all know how samsung took so long when it comes to software updates. They are great when it comes to hardware. i love my vibrant. They just should leave the software to Google like what they did to nexus S.

[Vibrant General] N8ter:
If it's Verizon, then why is it on AT&T's website.
[Vibrant General] Ms_Vibrant:
^ lol i was gonna say that..

waiting for GS2.. samsung already mentioned that their dual core devices will be announced at MWC in february.. so maybe a gs2 this summer?

and i dont care much about freaking updates.. LOL
[Vibrant General] vapotrini:
Yeah, he's confusing the Atrix with the Droid Bionic. Bionic is Verizon, Atrix is AT&T.

Atrix vs Bionic:

http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=3710&idPhone2=3708

Btw, why are most in this thread choosing this phone over the Atrix? Surely it can't just be because of Motoblur? Cause the LG is bound to have crap laid on top of it as well...

[Vibrant General] j.youngberg:
Do any of these phones have a higher resolution than wvga?
[Vibrant General] kponti:
To be honest the only reason I got the Samsung was that it was the only high-end phone in Tmobile's arsenal in the summer of 2010. The G2 and MyTouch slide were not my cup of tea (don't like keyboards) and the Mytouch 4g came out more recently.

I already knew the Vibrant would NOT be updated anytime soon (if at all), hell my old Mytouch 3g already has Froyo. So I learned about rooting/flashing/etc etc and simply got my own Froyo. If you think the official Froyo from Samsung will have less bugs and be faster than the current ROMs by the developers here, you are dreaming! By the time we get Froyo, the HTC phones will already be running Honeycomb!

Long story short, love the Vibrant for what it is NOW, in 7-8months I will be getting another phone. But unless I wanna flash/root/ etc etc, I will NOT be getting another Samsung phone. Mostly I will be looking for something that has better reception overall (why oh why won't Nokia build Android phones?)
[Vibrant General] nomadrider123:
The phone does look good. I learned my lesson with software updates from samsung. They got me twice they lied about the behold2 and dragging their feet on the vibrant :(
[Vibrant General] darkside79:
Now if Samsung could pull their heads out of their @$$es when it comes to software then Samsung devices would destroy all other android devices. Well mostly anyways! On the other hand starting to think it's a T-Mobile issue. Having flashbacks with my Motorola Cliq not getting 2.1 till a year later. Yeap gotta be a T-Mobile issue.

[Vibrant General] Ms_Vibrant:
Wht are people choosing this phone over the Atrix? Umm because this Optimus phone might be heading to tmobie?
[Vibrant General] blasian shadows:
yep cant wait for the g s2, the orion s.o.c much more powerful than the tegra 2. plus it will have the best screen. keeping my vibrant until g s2 comes out ;]
[Vibrant General] vapotrini:
Why yes, that would make sense lol.

I'm not in the US so I don't think about these things. The only thing I usually need to worry about before purchasing, is if the phone is gsm & unlockable or not.
[Vibrant General] advil0:
that low resolution screen kills it for me, i'm too used to the amount of stuff I can fit on my samsung vibrant's screen
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
Atrix 960*540
[Vibrant General] Col.Kernel:
If it's a TMo issue why don't the other carriers have FroYo for their SGS's yet?

I'm not happy with the direction TMo is going with their customer "service", so don't even try to tar me as a fanboi. But let's apply logic to the situation here.

The only reason the Nexus S has Gingerbread(!) is because it is the next Google Developer Phone and Samsung HAD to put it on there.

Lack of support = lack of support, regardless of the cause. But I lay this on Samsung's doorstep, not TMo's. This time.
[Vibrant General] richiehd:
Samsung bought a helluva lot of Tegra 2 chips because the Orion isn't ready. The SGS2 is probably going to be shipping with a T2 chip. Unless Samsung bought the T2's for the next Galaxy Tab since Honeycomb is probably optimized for it.

I can't buy the SGS2 because it will most likely have the RFS file system in addition to the lack of updates.
[Vibrant General] blasian shadows:
yea i hope they put it in the tab and not the gs2.
[G Tablet General] Coldfirex:
Howdy,

Is there currently a patch or fix for the Lag on wake issue for TNT Stock? I would prefer if the only modification to the kernel (if its a kernel side issue) was for this specific issue.

Thanks!
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
Hi,

When TNT 3452 was found on a link (not via OTA), I thought that roebeet had said that he thought that the lag fix was in there, but I don't know if anyone has actually confirmed that.

What did you read??
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] g.lewarne:
no it wont, no danger at all.

i have no idea where all the rumours are coming from regarding the fear of MAGLDR and brickage, in fact it is far easier to completely brick your phones in a Windows Mobile envoronment than android through MAGLDR.

although in reality it is very very diffucilt to brick a HD2, once i lost all laptop power during a HSPL flash and it was still fine....

Draining battery / Running NANDroid / Flashing through MAGLDR will never brick a phone. EVER. PERIOD.

the only way people have ever bricked a HD2 is when they have a TMOUS handset (american model only) and flash a 51 radio. And even then it can still be revived through JTAG :rolleyes:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ricey1986:
It wont brick your phone but you may have to pull the battery to charge it. Some users are claiming that it wont charge and the battery has to be pulled. As long as you have HSPL installed your pretty much bullet proof (dont try it though :D )
