Exactly...our ROM comes straight from Google, no evil carrier interference and no incompetent Samsung interference.
[General Topics] onthecouchagain:
I'm not a fan of OEM skins either, but the fact of the matter is stock Gingerbread hasn't liberated us from the issues which we unapologetically shun those skins for; how they hamper the experience, slow the phone down, etc. These problems still exist to some degree in stock Gingerbread. Some problems, in fact, seem even more glaring (random ringtone changes, rebooting during phone calls, etc). Granted, a clean Google Android is still preferred over OEM skins, but we're really imagining this disparity between a clean Android experience and OEM skins. Likewise, we blow out of proportion the audacity of bloatware. Yes, it's junk, and no, we don't want to see them, but do they do any real harm? The answer no one wants to admit is no.

I guess I'm just disappointed that I'm still experiencing a slew of issues with Android which I thought I would leave behind switching to the Nexus line. It's certainly an improvement, but the Android experience can still feel very second rate. If I sound overly critical of Android, it's because I want to see it grow and improve.
[General Topics] robstunner:
It sounds like you are not an android person, have you checked out the Windows Phone 7 phones, or palm phones? Ill take the random ring tone changes (minor issue for me) for the sleekness of gingerbread over a captivate running 2.1 or a Evo running 2.2.

I think I've given up on all these "Samsung insiders" unless they post evidence such as pictures, even if it's blurry. Because of someone trusting a "Samsung insider," the rumor about a dual core nexus s went on a rampage and such. It's all blah blah until it actually happens.

Just my 0.02:

If I want Vibrant, I should have had it long before I got MT4, but once I realized how T-Mobile/Samsung messed with the system (make recovery doesn't work, disable tethering on Kies), I would stay away from SGS line and go for NS (excellent SAMOLED screen and hardware without messy TouchWiz).

Not to mention the messy GPS with SGS.

Why not just sign up under the "Even More Plus" plans then this "slap in the face" wouldn't sting as much ;-)
[General Topics] ll_l_x_l_ll:
well.. i guess i was right. its 6 months lol. thats what exactly i just said. and you should know by now that in the mobile industry they dont annouce a phone 2 months ahead " sure rumors and **** are much before " but i will bet you that the phone is coming in Feb if not this month. that means worst case senario, its 7 month.

people bought the phone with 2 years contract. just to get dumped by almost same phone with added stuff that SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE SINCE THE i9000 got THEM.

not only the US people got dumped back in july. only to get them &&&&ed again by releasing what was supposed to be the REAL vibrant 6/7 months later that the Euro people had before the phone was released in US.

are you trying to understand my point man ?

i would agree with you that this how technology roll. but usually. its not from the same company. for example. samsung release an X mobile. 4 months later htc release Y mobile that is better than X from samsung, so samsung makes another one that is better than HTC. and the list goes on.

notice how there is no galaxy S 2 till now yet even though the phone was out since june in UK ? why ? the phone sells. no other phone is matching its sales in terms of power and sales.

we are talking about different case for vibrant. we are talking about a phone that should have these extras added in the first place. not to release a dumb phone that is inferior to the I9000 line. and 6 or 7 months later give them an I9000 under a " vibrant plus " name ?

you said it your self, they are the same friggin technology. why they cut down for US people ?

and i agree what you said about apple. a class on its own. and the thing is, this class grow every day. you know why ? because apple doesnt change hardware design every friggin 4 months. 1 phone every year. 1 ipod every year. and i will assume the same thing for ipad.

people dont like to buy something just to feel their hardware is out dated few months later.

you and i are hardcore, we follow technology. your average user doesnt. he wants something that looks sexy. something that works. and something that will last without someone joke with him and tell him replace your old ****ty phone. and thats a fact

i will also agree with you on buying a phone with a contract. its the worst mistake you can make. unless you are one of the users who keep his phone for 2 years. and i assume most of us here dont.

lol I feel so sorry for you samsung and motorola owners. It obvious these two companies are known for poor customer support, build quality and most important getting updates out to their phones...and yet you guys continue to feed them your money. Why would you continue to invest in these companies that are KNOWN for having slow to no updates and not having good customer support for previous phones. Just look at their track record...

You think you samsung owners would have learned after that whole behold 2 fiasco...but i guess not. Now the vibrant owners have to deal with samsung bs....

http://phandroid.com/2011/01/12/rum...ate-being-purposely-held-due-to-vibrant-plus/

(What sucks most about this above one...my friends ancient mytouch 3g even has froyo, so your telling me the vibrant cant get any froyo love?...lmao samsung you fail.)

And just when you thought you NS owners were going to be that "special" group...lol think again...

http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/12/samsung-gt-i9023-hits-fcc-a-new-version-of-the-nexus-s-with-and/

The point that im trying to make is that you guys need to just stick with HTC. Almost every phone they have put out has been amazing for their time. The original g1, nexus one, evo, incredible, g2, desire, desire HD, mytouch 3g and 4g etc... All of these phones produced by HTC were amazing in their own right and had the customer support of htc to back them. Even if updates were "slow" ( and HTC updates are no where near as slow samsung and motorola) HTC would always keep their customers in loop about what was happening with their phones.
[General Topics] ztm.000:
I AGREE! The only thing that is dragging most of us to Samsung is becaus they are the ones who produced the hardware for Google's phone. ****, if LG, or Motorola made the next Nexus device we would all go with that regardless. We want a pure google experience. That's the point here. I hope they realize they ****ed up bad.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JamDonot:
Hello all, I have recently moved from iOS to my Desire HD, loving it. Have been reading a lot about rooting, and have downloaded visionary r14, didn't work, so I assumed I had the latest software. This is the stupid noob question, how do I actually see what software I have. When I go into the software information page its telling me the software number is 1.24.405.1, same with the build number. The Kernal is 2.6.32.21, and the baseband is 12.27.60.14bU_26.02.00.29_M4, and its running Android 2.2.

Any ideas?

I have done the check for updates, its telling me its up to date. At the moment I cant even temproot with Visionary r14.

I'm at a total loss, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Its a matter of preference that's why you won''t get many people to answer you.

If you want Top performance but feel adventurous and can live with slight niggles, then you can use Advanced Voodoo 666 1.2 where you can OC it to 1280hz. Its like being on the edge without falling over :)

Otherwise, if you want stable and performance balance, then head to Speedmod's Kernel

If you want extreme performance with sacrifice over battery life or stability, head to Super Optimized OC/UV Kernel

This thread is to assist with market related issues.

Market doesn't open! it just shrinks.

Go into applications and delete cache and uninstall updates for the market

Some times google services framework fails to install due to lack of space, if so a simple adb install seems to fix.

Issue installing Apps from market - installation error unknown reason -18

Try browsing to .android_secure and deleted the file 'smdl2tmp1.asec'. If this does work try the following

Try unmounting your sd card and then installing app again. Remount once finished

Flash support on the Vega can some times cause issues.

Upgrading or updating seems to occasionally break Flash support in the browser, as does installing an updated version from the Market.

If Flash has stopped working on your machine, the fix is;

Simply browse in iFileManager (of prefered file manager) on the device to /system/etc/shuttle_priv and click on the APK file to install.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jointluke:
Hi,

I am trying to find out if the Galaxy is able to work as a switching device in a WLAN.

With the WLAN Tethering its quite easy to use the Galaxy as a routing device for internet traffic of mobile devices without the possibility to connect to the internet by themselfs.

Now I am asking myself if it is possible to use the Galaxy to connect 2 (or more)mobile devices and use the galaxy as the wireless network switch.

Can the thetering also be used to make a wireless connection to a laptop for data transfer or other services like MyPhoneExplorer ? Is there somebody who has allready experience with this or knows an application which enable the galaxy to do so ?

ADB Works/Copy+Paste, Normal Install Does NOT Work

I’m running GingerVillain 1.4 and it worked for me, but let me venture a guess here: you tried to put the apk into system/app via Root Explorer/ES File Manager/Whatever. Either that or you tried installing the apk as you would install any other apk. Am I right?

I did the same thing, and I ran into the same problem you did. I have no idea why, though I’m sure there is good reason. However, if you uninstall AdFree and then use ADB as directed above it will work just fine. You won’t have to install it or anything; it just magically appears in the application drawer as if you had never uninstalled it in the first place.

ADB works, but RootExplorer-style Copy/Paste does not.

Hope that helps,

You can put the apk in the root of your sd card and run these commands in terminal if you don't want to use adb:

Final Fix!

AdFree has been upgraded. Uninstall your previous version of AdFree, go to Market and download the new version and it will work just fine. (Supposedly trying to update an old AdFree to the new version won't fix it.)

^.^ Anytime, I'm happy to help.

I think that will be my job for today, looking into gscripts.

Just out of curiosity though, why is it that using RootExplorer/etc to move the .apk to /system/apps work?

I figure I could have installed it after the movie to make up for the install command. (And ES File Manager generally has no problem moving things to root areas.)

Always good to know -why- something is the way it is. :P I have a tendency to ignore reasons without explanations, and that has backfired a few times.

Or I can dig around XDA to find the answer; there be knowledge in these here forums. :P

Either way, thanks!
