Way too big for me. 4.5 would be ridiculously big.

Also, bigger and better screen, combined with a higher spec'd single core cpu. I can only imagine how anemic the battery life is going to be. Not to mention the fact that it's Samsung we're talking about here IE: No updates, ****ty RFS, Touchwiz.

They fooled me once, never again. I don't care if it has a 3d hologram coming out of the screen. NEVER again Samsung!
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
Too big for me. The Vibrant is pretty much the limit for comfortable one-handed operation for me.
[Vibrant General] AgentFour20:
1080p recording. I wonder if we could swap camerras.
[Vibrant General] kmfisher:
It gets rid of the PenTile Matrix! Thank god. That is the worst feature of the Super AMOLED screen. Nothing like a screen door effect and lower effective resolution to damage a screen. A normal RGB layout will look phenomenal with the Super AMOLED. Now they just need to upgrade the actual resolution. I think a 1280 x 720 resolution on the 4"+ screens would be ideal.
[Vibrant General] lexluthor:
At this point and after the rumors the other day about honeycomb requiring dual core, I wouldn't consider anything without a dual core a worthy upgrade to the vibrant.
[Vibrant General] XPLANE9:
Only thing I see this is good for is official froyo, then again we have the leaks anyways and without that crappy rfs. May be a porthole to official gingerbread since the specs other than the screen should be the same, that is is it gets gingergread :-).
[Vibrant General] RobBull69:
Once again, it has great hardware, but RFS, TouchWiz and the inevitable lack of software support are major turn-offs.

I wonder how great super amoled plus is. And that 4.5 inch, damn it.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
Yea, a Single Core CPU is not future proof enough. 200MHz is not worth it (probably just an overclocked Hummingbird, Lulz).

If it's only a 512 RAM device then it will have only 326 MB of RAM for the system which isn't enough - not falling for the Vibrant gimmick again.

Moto is releasing a Dual Core 1GB RAM HSPA+ phone on AT&T, though.

I'll probably switch carriers to get that one when it releases.

BTW, thses AT&T phones have 21mbps HSPA+ radios in them, not the 14.4mbps radios in the T-Mobile G2/MT4G. AT&T's HSPA+ network is probably twice to 3x the size of T-Mobile's.

They need to find a way to put 17-1900 mAh batteries in these phones.

Specs and screen sizes going up, with more stuff in them, but battery sizes staying the same. Sorry, I'm not going to depend on an SoC change to give decent battery life on the same battery size going from device to device...
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
god damn 4.5? are they trying to turn a phone into a tablet or something?

how large is vibrants screen?

my friends already tell me why the hell i need such a big screen for the vibrant.. but 4.5.. this phone's for giants only it looks sleek though.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
Vibrant is 4" and the Dell Streak is 5" so 4.5 isn't all that big. It's barely bigger than the HD2/HD7 and if you compare the screen sizes on the HD2 to the Vibrant it isn't all that big.

I actually prefer 4" as the max for a WVGA screen since that resolution doesn't tend to look that good on devices with very large screens...
[Vibrant General] eminembdg:
Nice looking phone... oh wait.. it looks exactly like a vibrant lol.

But for real guys, everyone is always like " oh f**k that, I won't get another Samsung device because of the crappy update schedule"

Who cares? I mean really.. the phones are gorgeous, ALMOST unbrickable, and so very moddable.

I was a little mad when they kept promising froyo over and over again with no prevail. But guess what????? ROOT THE DANG PHONE and throw one of the many GREAT and basically flawless froyo roms on it!

Again, I think their empty and many update promises is crappy. But also keep in mind it's not just Samsungs fault but carriers also. It's not Samsungs idea to put a different look on each carriers Galaxy S, it's the carriers idea. But I love my Vibrant and even more in love since I rooted it and put Team Whiskey's NERO on it.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
This samsung phone is obsolete before release:

Motorola Atrix 4G

Get ready for MOTOROLA ATRIX 4G - redefine the line between phone and laptop.

•NVIDIA® Tegra™ – the world's most advanced mobile processor featuring dual core technology including 3D graphics

•4.0" QHD display – 24-bit color graphics that refresh faster than other smartphones

•Pocket or dock it – experience connected computing no matter where you are with MOTOROLA Laptop Dock and HD Multimedia Dock

•High performance 1 GB RAM – up to 48 GB available memory (16GB Internal Storage) for quick access to thousands of songs, photos, and files

•Advanced fingerprint recognition reader keeps everything secure – only you can access what's on your device

•Android™ 2.2 operating system with access to thousands of apps in Android Market

•Voice quality is clear even in loud environments thanks to two-microphone noise reduction technology

•Front-facing VGA video camera

•Long-lasting 1930 mAh battery

It has HDMI out and seems to run the same skin as the Droid X.

Display resolution is 960x540

Also, HSPA+ Radio and of course DLNA.

Sorry the Galaxy S doesn't seem so nice when you look at these other phones, this one especially. Future-proof, much.

I already feel sorry for those who got the Nexus S.

I don't see how anyone can fathom getting that Samsung phone with this phone sitting next to it in an AT&T store. The Samsung simply isn't worth it.
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
Every carrier is going to get dual core phones (except maybe Sprint, haven't seen an announcement for them). AT&T will get the Moto Atrix, Verizon the Moto Droid Bionic, and I believe T-Mo will get the LG Optimus 2x. In any case, there will be dual-core goodness everywhere you look.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
Yes, but the Moto Phone has a huge battery and is simply a better device in most ways than the Samsung, and their software support for their flagship phones is miles better.

Sorry, I don't buy LG. They've burned me in the past and I'm not willing to take the risk again...

AT&T's network is much better than T-Mobile's. I don't feel like a HSPA+ device is worth it on T-Mobile, when I can drive 2 miles out of an HSPA market and drop from full 3G to half Edge. I'm willing to pay more for that, now that I've experienced both scenarios.

And just get one of their WiFi thingies to make calls from home :P
[Vibrant General] vapotrini:
Very nice specs there. Slap a amoled on that sucker and I'd be all over it.
[Vibrant General] PJcastaldo:
I think its hilarious how people rag on sammy and thier updates... There are tons of phones from all carriers all over that are promissed updates and never get them.. Not to mention sammy has completed froyo, it all comes fown to the carrier.. Infact other coutries sgs phones have official froyo.

I guess what im saying is even with these new phones coming out the galaxy s and all varients are not easily out preformed..
[Vibrant General] SquareBare:
If plants are involved, I will be pretty damn impressed...
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
I don't care about other countries - only the one I live in where I get service. I doubt the Euros with 2.2.1 care that we don't have FroYo, TBQH.

The Galaxy S phones are easily outperformed when Samsung is allowed to perform their software magic on them.

You know they have the best software development teams out there, bringing us such gems as RFS, TouchWiz, their beloved DRM service, and a Gallery App that freezes the phone up every 3rd time you use it.

Whatever.

That Samsung phone won't be worth it. The battery life will be terrible compared to the Moto and the software support will be terrible as always. They should have launched it on Sprint, IMO. Sprint actually needs more decent phones. All of hte other 3 carriers will have better phones than this launching soon. Waste of hardware, as far as I'm concerned.

The only thing they seem to have done was increase the screen size. Moto seems more forward thinking than Samsung. The SAMOLED screen isn't worth it.

However, I guess Captivate Users who are tired of their phones rebooting randomly, or waiting for FroYo will upgrade to this because you know... the screen is SOOOOO good...
[Vibrant General] j0hnZ:
If I wanted a phone as restricted at Motorola I would just go get a WP7.....no wait...I wouldn't, maybe an iphone. Android is to complicated for the average consumer apparently anyway.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
If the phone works well out of the box and is supported well, the restrictions won't matter.

Everyone doesn't base purchases on ideology.
[Vibrant General] j0hnZ:
Define support, Samsung released an update what 3-4 months after coming out. People are whining about Froyo, which they've already leaked to show they are working on it but people still complain. How long did it take Froyo to come to the MT3G...a long time. This isn't a Samsung thing.

People based their purchases on a variety of things, obviously it's not on just one, I told my thoughts about me. Then I said that Android is to complicated for the average user. It's quite hilarious watching people use it for the first time that really are clueless about electronics in general.
[Vibrant General] MMcCraryNJ:
The MT3G was released as an Android 1.6 phone. In fact, 1.6 was the newest version of Android when it was released. It was very close to EOL when it got Froyo.

The Galaxy S in the US was released after Froyo was released.

There's a HUGE difference there.
[Vibrant General] j0hnZ:
The MT3G came with 1.5 and was upgraded to 1.6, I got the update after I bought it. It got Froyo well after Froyo came out, but it still happened, althought it doesn't have JIT. It was also well past its relevant time period.

http://www.addictivetips.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/android-phone-timeline.png

I really don't know what you expect, do you really expect them to stop production because they have to rework their entire OS to fit an update? Froyo was probably the biggest update to Android I've seen, and we've already got leaks of their progress. They are in the business of making money period, just like everyone else.
[Vibrant General] Ms_Vibrant:
i think the vibrant plus will have the same specs as this...??

or is the vibrant plus will be the galaxy s 2?

this infusion looks nice and if vibrant plus is indeed similar to this specs -wise , i might go for the optimus 2x.. hope it goes to tmo

and i do hope that the galaxy s 2 ( if it's not the vibrant plus) will have better specs than samsung infusion though coz i'd rather get that than optimus 2x..

we'll see
[Vibrant General] os2baba:
Here's what I expect. I expect *every* phone less than 2 years old (typical life of contract) to get a new version in less than 2 months. Period. And if they don't, they will continue to lose customers and get the dismal reputation they have. When I bought the Vibrant, I was willing to forgive their previous history because I thought that with one phone released throughout the world, it would be easy for them to get an upgrade fast. I was wrong. As you said, they are in the business of making money and guess what - they will never make another dime from me. There are a ton of people who can't root their phones and install custom ROMs - my wife and sister for example. They are not even aware of the features they are missing from Froyo. But they are well aware that the GPS barely works while the G1's GPS worked flawlessly. They are well aware that their battery drains too quickly. They are well aware that the phone lags. So they are unlikely to nuy another Samsung either. My brother-in-law has a G2. She can see the difference and wishes she had the G2 as well.

I could have rooted and installed a custom ROM on my sister's phone, but I may not be around if something goes wrong so she continues to be miserable with the battery performance.

The Vibrant's an excellent phone and would have continued to be one if Samsung had released 3-4 quick updates in the last 6 months.

They have Gingerbread running on practically the same phone. It's a slap in the face that it's not available on the Vibrant.

not too happy about the Blur though...
[Vibrant General] lilflip193:
Please tell me like the captivate and the vibrant. They will make this phone and one for tmobile??
[Vibrant General] explodingboy70:
Very good posts. I just want to add that when I purchased the Vibrant I did so expecting it to last through the 2 year contract and the up to 48 gig of storage is what sold me above the rest. Screen is great too but the rest of the specs are almost the same as the rest at this time. Heck by the time im ready to upgrade im hoping for a phone with core i7 and nothing less.
[Vibrant General] demize!:
Also, 4.5" screen + 1 core + same battery specs = less on time. Battery technology and or powersaving technology has got to catch up with feature and performance or we'll have great phones that do awesome **** for 10 minutes.

Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.

I'd be down with a 4.5" screen, but this is my last Samsung smartphone.

[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
Won't work Cortex-A8 does not support 1080p.

As for the phone, I am not sure I would want it. Looking at the current state of affairs the mobile tech is moving up to tablet-like devices. I am keeping my eye open for a Honeycomb tablet on T-Mo (LG looks like it), the Moto tablet demo at CES was more than enough to convince me :D
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
I'm eager to see what kind of Web OS devices will come out. Honeycomb's UI looks a bit... amatuer, and I wonder if the manufacturers will take to skinning it the way they do their phones - that in and of itself will make is about 70% less attractive to me. The specs on the devices look good, though.

I think the Playbook has a much better interface and the OS on it is a bit more robust. It's a hard choice. I'd also have to switch to a BB smartphone if I get the playbook, but considering I've taken to using my phone for almost nothing but making calls these days, that may not be so bad afterall.

I need to see the iPad 2 and an HP WebOS Tab or two before I make a decision.

I'm leaning towards a WiFi playbook. Google Develops Android too fast for me to feel confident that I'll be supported, compared to a tablet coming from a manufacturer/entity that does all their own devices. Google also needs to hire better interface designers.

Yea, I see a Tablet in my future. Can offset the cost of a data plan by downgrading to a dumb or feature phone. That, or a light 11.6 Notebook, since I do tend to prefer real apps over smartphone/tablet quasi-apps.
[Vibrant General] MDRoiDM:
why does the Moto.ATRIX have to be on at&t...: (
[Vibrant General] j0hnZ:
Funny how you were talking about ideology in your other post. Honeycomb almost looks like a mirror image of the Playbook. You know you could just get a Google Tablet which most likely will be the Motorola Tablet.

From your choices might I recommend a flip phone of some kind?
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
No it doesn't.

And my post has nothing to do with ideology. Did you mean economics? :)

Saying you'll choose android because it's open is ideological.

[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] sensboston:
I think this information is important for developers who's using WPDTPTConnect32.exe/WPDTPTConnect64.exe to deploy/debug multimedia apps.

Today I found what this utility is stop working, just silently runs. I've reinstalled Zune twice (latest and old one, 100% working, special WP7 release), cleanup drivers - nothing helps. But this app is very critical for my development!

I've got stuck. But somehow (I believe God helps me!) I decide to change system date to December, 2010. And... Can you imagine?! WPDTPTConnect64.exe immediately start working as usual! (I didn't test WPDTPTConnect32.exe).

Microsoft, shame on you! I can't understand that (stupid!) kind of limitation...
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] mesofly:
Thanks for the information.

Are you sure it has to do with the system time? My phone had a lot of issues connecting to visual studio and zune for that matter when I first got it. After a lot of tries though, it usually randomly starts working :confused:
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] sensboston:
100% positive (and never had issues before). Will try to create some temporary workaround (using .cmd file).

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derek4484:
I've been running Cog 2.2B7 ever since it first came out. I like it fine. But I am thinking of maybe going with a Perception rom to try out the HSUPA and built-in lag fix. I've accumulated tons of apps on my phone.

What is the best way to save the state of my phone so after flashing to a new rom I can restore it quickly without having to go and download 50 or so apps all over again.

I have Titanium Backup, but havent really used it much for backing up/restoring apps. Last time I used it I backed up all the AT&T bloatware apps then uninstalled them. However I was unable to re-install them from the Titanium backups. So, I thought it was a waste.

I also have the premium version of ROM Manager. I've made several Nandroid backups but everytime I go to restore one of those backups the restore process crashes, every single time.

I guess all in all, I have had **** for luck with backing up and restoring.

Any advice or instructions would be appreciated. Thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickysa2000:
BACKUP

Most of the ROMs have a wipe and nowipe version. If you install the no wipe version, all your apps and settings are still present after flashing. If you need to install a wipe version, Titanium backup is the best thing.. Here are the steps:

1. Open Titanium Backup

2. Click Menu button -> batch

3. Run backup all user apps (or user apps + system data - maybe dangerous)

4. It gets backed up in the internal SD card (My Files Home) in the folder Titanium backup.

5. Copy this folder to the PC or external SD, coz master clear would clear the internal SD card.

6. After flashing, copy the folder to the internal SD card (if it's not already present coz of master clear)

7. Open Titanium Backup.

8. Click Menu button -> batch

9. Run Restore Missing apps +data (or missing apps +system data)

10. Voila!! done!

6.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
Point to add:

Do NOT restore system data on different versions of ROMs. Some of them tend to fail, and this could cause FCs.

Even when restoring apps data, be careful. When u r moving between android versions, it would recommended to install just the apps, and not data. There is a high possibility of data location changes in db between versions.

Hey guys,

I just went and purchased Root Explorer because I thought it might be a handy App to have. I boot it up and the SuperUser box requests permission, I allow and remember it.

But, Root Explorer wants none of this and just displays this:

I am sure my phone is rooted correctly, all my other "root required" Apps work just fine (and that "su" trick in Terminal returns the #), it's just Root Explorer that doesn't like it. I really don't want to have to re-root the phone... Can anyone make something of that error?

Else { what's involved in re-rooting? :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Morsolo:
No one? :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariosraptor:
try to clear SU cache+ root explorer cache from app management and then try to re-grant permissions to root explorer. if this does not work, then just remove root explorer and just redownload it. maybe it is a broken download/install.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Morsolo:
Thanks for the help, but, nope, didn't work...

I tried clearing the cache of both SU and RE, didn't work... Tried clearing the cache, then uninstalling, then re-installing... Still didn't work.

It can't be my root itself, as I've said, everything else works just fine... :(

EDIT: Could it have something to do with the "NAND Unlock" and "S-OFF" I keep hearing? I never did any of this when I originally rooted my Desire, though I do have an older model that - as far as I know - doesn't come with those extra security blocks. Plus, all other apps work with root just fine...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
Its not the nand protection, that dosent stop you getting root access, just prevents you from writing to certain parts of the nand....
