[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00102:
Is there a new market place (2.2.7) for HD2 with NAND rom? I got as far as accepting the terms and allowing it to access w/e it needs but then it force closes on me. Does the new market place not work?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sichroteph:
Of course it works. I have the 2.2.7 on a miui nand build and everything works fast and smooth.

But quite disappointed by the 15mn new refund limit.

Edit:you are not alone with that problem. There is a tutorial for you to install the new market place on the android general discussion thread.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arpsachin2:
I got a Vibrant last night..

I rooted it. I see superuser icon so I know it has been rooted. Next, I downloaded clockworkmod and then did flash recovery and picked vibrant. And then I picked install from SD card and picked the cfw I wanted to install. It rebooted to Android recovery mode. There I picked reinstall packages and installed the update.bin (again) and rebooted the phone..

Then, I used the ODIN 1.7 to flash back to the default and did the whole process all over again but I can't seem to get into Clockworkmod recovery mode...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lqaddict:
Copy recovey-update.zip from /sdard/clockworkmod directory to /sdcard as update.zip. Reboot into recovery and reinstall the packages
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arpsachin2:
nope.. it says "E:can't open /sdcard/update.zip (bad) installation aborted" when there is clearly an update.zip file there..

Its going to have a ffc and 21 mbps hspda+. The gps will probably work. Anyone else feel buyers remorse?
[Vibrant General] MTC44:
Also going to have 2.2. I actually think this will help out the devs for our phone. Maybe a solution to ffc mod camera banding and a stable 2.2 release.

sent from my galaxy s
[Vibrant General] robavila721:
Should allow us to exchange at least for a lower price
[Vibrant General] AustinKnight45:
So what will come first this phone with 2.2 , or us getting official 2.2 on are phones? I think this phone will come out an they'll delay are long awaited update to boost the vibrant 4g freaking sales, f%!kin c+ck suckers
[Vibrant General] joe98200:
Not so mad since this is what happened when the Blackberry 9700 refresh came out
[Vibrant General] oka1:
LOL I bet as soon as it is out within 2 weeks there will be a work around hack to their 4g and maybe not 21 mg download (that is under perfect conditions) but I bet we can get 50-75% of that ...........:D

Whoa, big difference. This is the first two year I ever signed, won't do that again.

[Vibrant General] dalethefarmer:
other than for tethering I really don't see the need for more than 4-5 mbps speed... sure is good to say you have it but on a phone? I'm currently very happy with the speed of my vibrant, Pandora works well, music downloads are fast, pocket cloud works well on 3g, voip calling... I wonder if 4g is more of an energy hog than 3g... that would be awful, last time I checked we were still using li-ion batteries...:eek:
[Vibrant General] lingols:
1g internal memory

im jealous of the 4g internet speed and slightly about the fcc. but it has 1gig memory on board.. thats stupid lame. might find a way to get one .
[Vibrant General] Keslynn:
I agree with MTC44 that having this new phone out can only help the devs get us better 2.2 and a better FFC mod. I am content reaping the benefits of this new phone without having to shell out the extra cash. I am also fine with the small speed boost that I already have from the HSPA+ network without having to buy a whole new 4g phone. There's always going to be something new and bleeding edge out there. Why get upset because it's an upgraded Vibrant? If it hadn't been that, it would have been something else. At least we can use some of the advancements from this phone.

That being said, if Samsung & TMo don't get us original Vibrant owners a stock 2.2 release before Vibrant 4g is released, that would show that they have abandoned us and that they have a very high disregard for current customers. I would be disappointed at the lack of official support, but as long as we have our devs, we're golden.

Also, if Samsung & TMo do fail us on Froyo, I imagine they're going to fail Vibrant 4g owners later on as well. The ranks of the disappointed will only grow with the addition of a new phone if Samsung continues to stay on the back end of progress.
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
this BS.

[Vibrant General] shoman24v:
Unbelievable.

If you have insurance wait till the vibrant isn't sold and lose your phone

Sent from my Sprint Galaxy Tab
[Vibrant General] ipeench:
I'm pretty sure they can be a class action lawsuit. Not only were the phones sold with GPS that does not work.. but the phone has been advertised as 2.2 a bunch of times, I'm sure the ads can be found. There is also the lag issue with it being stock.

One way at looking at it is they made the proper fixes to this phone instead of making a recall/fixes to the original Vibrant, like a true fix with the GPS... not a crappy software they stole form us... upgrading the OS... and fixing the lag issue (altho that is a "non" issue according to tmobile).

I have been in class action lawsuits over less.....

And if that wont work... ill wait for the new one to come out.. buy it and sell my modded one in the box to someone on craigslist! (jokes)
[Vibrant General] pnguyen5:
Ugh. Definitely never getting another Samsung phone again. I was skeptical about the slow updates when I heard about the Behold 2 debacle, since the Galaxy S series was going on all major US carriers, as well as sell internationally. I thought, "There's no way they would deny ALL of us good timing on updates, customer support, etc."

I was wrong.

Screw you Samsung.

I don't care how great your screen is. I don't care how great your processor is. I don't care how many more you sell. You are not getting anything else from me.

/endrant.

Sorry, guys. Had to rant somewhere. Pisses me off that they just now decide to sell what we were supposed to get in the first place. 4g, FFC, 2.2.
[Vibrant General] ZachLL88:

Feel the same way. Just going to buy phones out right, and probably never go with a Samsung phone again.
[Vibrant General] cashyftw:
I'm going back to HTC screw samsung, look at the Nexus one, they're getting freaking gingerbread in a few days, and were still on 2.1!! Really?

Samsung is a FAIL,

Nice display though.
[Vibrant General] Blkegk:
If this is true, Im never getting another Samsung again. Back to ****ty HTC w/ better software support.
[Vibrant General] epakrat75:
If anyone wonders why devs might stop supporting a particular phone, then realize it's likely because people start feeling too spoiled by too many free releases. No one is entitled to them, though many probably think they are. Feeling grateful? Not anymore. OPs and threads like this serve no purpose other than to rile folks up.

There is always something better if you wait long enough. If you're not a kid, you should know this by now. Why do those here who purchased the Vibrant (and hopefully have enjoyed it as much as I have) suddenly think it's crap? Did you not think that something better would come along before your contract was up? Has it lost that shiny new feeling now that your phone has to share the spotlight with the Nexus S and Vibrant Plus? Grow up, learn to share. If any of you got the Vibrant for practically nothing, etc ($0.01, free, etc) are complaining, you're some very odd birds.

Why hate on TMO for coming out with a successor? It was inevitable. If you thought otherwise, that was wishful thinking. You could have waited but you chose not to. Hindsight is 20/20, right? Will you also hate on Samsung (even more than you may already do / have) for releasing the Galaxy S2 series? What a waste of time/energy! There will always be something newer. Be satisfied with what you have, many have less. It's ridiculous (but not surprising) to see such displays of spoiled, bratty behavior. Just barely past the holidays and people seem to have returned (if they acted differently) to their old nasty selves.

4G speeds matter about as much as quadrant scores do around here. In a year or two that may be different. The Vibrant can download 7.2 Mbps already without 4G. I routinely get 4-6 Mbps myself. This is faster than most websites, etc will even allow you to download anyway. What will you do with that extra speed if it either is unavailable in your area or is bottle necked by the place you're downloading from?

If you must have the latest and greatest, at least sell your Vibrant to someone who will appreciate it and buy this new model quickly before the next one comes out! LOL
[Vibrant General] brian4292:
yea, i'm thinking of doing that too.
[Vibrant General] cashyftw:
It's not the fact that were hating on TMo, it's just the fact that they're releasing something that we should of had along time ago, Vibrant with a FFC, and 2.2. The FFC was suppose to come with this phone in the first place, but Tmo didn't want it yet, but now they're coming out with the same phone just with the features it should had when it was released? For what? That's not considered an upgrade, that's just stupid, phone has the exact same specs ( except 4g ) and it has native 2.2. I really can careless about the 4g, I'm on wifi most of the time anyway, but it's not fair how we get left in the dark, and forgotten, and the phone isn't even a year old yet. Like I said in an earlier post, some phones are getting 2.3 in the upcoming days, while were still and probably will always be with 2.1 ( unless your rooted )
[Vibrant General] drewtang:
Agreed. It amazes me that people purchase a product based on what they hope it can be, rather than what it is. I bought my vibrant because it was the best t-mobile phone available at the time. When something newer comes out that I like, I'll buy that one(if I can afford it lol). In the mean time we have some great devs giving us roms that make the device 1000x better than it is stock. And the good news is, once the new vibrant is released, samsung will have to release source for it, which can only aid in development for the current model(one would hope). So I'm honestly glad they're releasing the new model.
[Vibrant General] Dougefresh91:
Not surprising. Samsung still sucks, ect. ect. Samsung says hardware update > firmware update.
[Vibrant General] epakrat75:
This sums up my rant nicely. Thank you.

@cashyftw - drewtang's post is as good a reply as any to your post.

Great idea since insurance fraud is "so in" right now. NOT.
[Vibrant General] DKYang:
This is a fail post. You are comparing Google's phone vs Samsung's phone. It's obvious that Google's phone will get the latest update as soon as possible, while other phones depends all on the manufacturer because they all have their own custom Android OS; this includes HTC, Samsung, Moto, etc.
[Vibrant General] darkside79:
http://www.androidcentral.com/t-mob...mpaign=Feed:+androidcentral+(Android+Central)
[Vibrant General] phydoux:
Well said. I agree. I am still happy with my Vibrant and this news probably means that we'll get even better ROMs based on the new version. I got tired of waiting for T-Mobile to release Froyo, so I took matters into my own hands and flashed Nero 4.1. I'll stock with that until there's an official Froyo release, if that ever happens.
[Vibrant General] ipeench:
I dont care about the speed... i dont care about the FFC... I REALLY dont care about inception (that was a tension breaker haha.. I'm not trying to start a war with you just voicing how i feel and why I'm mad)

I just get pissed when a company makes a product... (the vibrant) that has issues (GPS and lagging) says they are going to fix it (the gps) then put out a NEW PHONE that has all the issues fixed toss in a few bells and whistles and still show no support to the original phone... Unless this phone does not have the issues fixed... and it truly is a vibrant.. it should be the same exact hardware. I know why they wont just let go 2.2 for us.. they want to promote this phone and get more money... that how the world works... but if this was there plan all along then when i called about the gps issues at least 20 times and i kept getting told there is a fix being worked on... they should of told me that there is not going to be a fix so i could of returned the phone.

But the more I read about the Plus the less i want it... I am in love with my vibrant, this is honestly the phone i have always wanted...PLUS I love macnut r14... and I absolutely love the 16gig on board. Just irks me that they did this.
[Vibrant General] cashyftw:
Fail post? So since samsung made it, were suppose to wait oh I don't know about a year for something we should of had?

You must be an average user, so you wouldn't really know.
[Vibrant General] drewtang:
Bear in mind, we've been seeing leaked froyo builds for the vibrant, which means it is being worked on...
[Vibrant General] BuLLeT_PrOOf_wAlleTz:
Well im effin pissed !!why would samsung do this to us.. we pay the same price but the new vibrant owners will get more ... that's a kick in the face
[Vibrant General] cjggilbert:
Hand me down

If the Vibrant 4G is real,,, my wife is going to inherit a really kick ass customized phone.

And stop whining everyone!!! What do you mean how can samsung do this to us? They are in the business to do this to us...It's their job. Hasn't everyone been wondering why the vibrant, the best selling galaxy s phone of any us carrier, the best hardware phone ever, haven't you all been wondering why it's all the sudden FREE???
[Vibrant General] vapotrini:
+1

I agree with you for the most part. Technology changes so fast nowadays. That's just how it goes, same with computers. Not sure why everyone here is so surprised. I find it exciting as I rather have more options every few months than having a top of the line phone for 2 or so years.

Although with that said, I'm pretty sure I'm done with Samsung and if at all possible, all US carriers too. In cases like the Vibrant and I9000 I'm going to pay the extra money for the I9000 and just call it a day. Cause there's no acceptable excuse for the lack of real updates on the Vibrant, imo. From now on I want my phones without any US carrier BS on them. That way I don't have to wait for two sets of people on upgrades. Phone maker, then carrier. Internet speeds are irrelevant to me so it's extremely plausible in my situation (residing outside the US).
[Vibrant General] sLiKK:
There is nothing big about this phone that will make me get it. HSPA +21 mean the max speed theoretically will be 21 Mbps so we are talking about practical speeds of about 4-6 Mbps.
[Vibrant General] techboydino:
Agreed. Stop crying people. I was covering CES and can tell you hands on you want a dual core phone anyway. Tegra 2 in mobiles is insane. Not even the infuse has a dual core, but at least has a "4G" radio in it. The phone is old now, deal with it.
[Vibrant General] ipeench:
What is the diff between the antennas that make a phone 4g?? woudl that me something that can be changed on this phone?

I dont even want the speeds i really dont care... im just curious about it
[Vibrant General] drewtang:
Agreed. I think 2011 is gonna be a good year for handsets with t-mobile(with Humm at the helm). Waiting on.something.like the optimius x or something like that.
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
I wonder if this phone will sell that much.

The 2.2 on this one will work on our phones right? I have a feeling that if this phone is for real then we won't have official froyo yet until this one is released.
[Vibrant General] ceroglu:
I have never sad anything bad about T-mobile and Samsung, but now I am really thinking badly about this. This is very bad for both T-mobile and Samsung, this shows me that they don’t give a crap about their current customers who are stuck with a phone that doesn’t have an official software and hardware support but they turn around and slap you in the face with a product that has addressed these issues?
[Vibrant General] Emama:
Are they stop selling our vibrant and sell only the 4g one?

How if I lose my vibrant with insurance :(
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
JEEZ!!! I just saw the post on android central! I want this because it comes with the movie Inception. :D
[Vibrant General] Stevenjcarney:
Getting mad over this is ridiculous. It's the same phone, with a new antenna. I'm actually happy about it. Anyone else realize how simple of a fix this will bring to the FFC mod? And finally we'll have a Vibrant optimized 2.2!
[Vibrant General] hazard99:
it just sucks because they feed us a load of bull about how hard it is to bring us 2.2 but they release a upgrade version of the same phone. Its almost like you have to pay if you want to get the legit 2.2 kernal.

Thank you dev's you do the things that these companies should being doing.
[Vibrant General] Dattack:
On the bright side, i wouldn't have known anything about rooting or custom roms if it weren't for the original crappy samsung phone (2.1)
[Vibrant General] xtone:
this might actually be good news.. we get a FFC designed for the vibrant and another 2.2 source, maybe not the 4g antenna but still, 3g is good is good enough for most.

think positive fellas! i keep seeing, this is how the vibrant supposed be released in the first place.. sure. but we're here now and this is what it is, so deal with it. best case scenario, we'll be able scrap the new version to fill in what's missing on our phone.

$0.02
[Vibrant General] Rotaryknight:

[Vibrant General] jumaaneface:
i got a nexus s the day it came out lol

but i wonder if the new vibrants camera module will fix our banding issues? it has less memory but it does at least come with a 16gb sd card so that not soo bad. and first real hspa+ phone. i have only edge in my area so i wont be getting this, well might sell my vibrant to buy it :rolleyes::rolleyes:
[Vibrant General] Boss_Diva:
I've had enough of samsung.. really nice device with so much potential but lacking much needed support.
[Vibrant General] Damonkashu:
no camera flash, no dedicated camera button, no LED notification light (STILL?), really samsung? what a joke. The froyo should hopefully be useful for all of us in classic vibrant land.

Once HTC or Motorola get a strong 4" screen phone on t-mobile, I am bailing on samsung at the first chance I get.
[Vibrant General] ctkatz:
the ONLY thing that interests me is the 4g speeds. the ffc i think is a gimmick and i could care less about froyo. if it weren't for the fact that i'm partially convinced that 4g coverage hasn't hit louisville, ky yet nor will it for a while (and if it has, i haven't noticed cause my 3g is plenty fast) this phone would be at the top of my list so far when upgrade time comes for me (i was fortunate enough that the in-store rep only signed me up to a 1 year deal, so i can get upgrades pretty quickly).

what i require for my phone is functionality and as much internal storage as possible. i haven't seen the internal storage numbers yet. anything smaller than 16 gigs will be a turn off.
[Vibrant General] anthonys2r:
Samsung is going to release a Vibrant X where it has everything Vibrant 4g has + camera flash, led notification, gingerbread, and the movie Tron.

[Vibrant General] presence06:
The only good thing from this would maybe be Froyo you think? Official release anyways. Otherwise screw samsung, after this phone eats **** I'm going to something from HTC.
[Vibrant General] nomadrider123:
What about if you buy a phone and samsucks says it will be updated then don't?

I was talking about the behold2 they got me on that one.:mad:
[Vibrant General] agentscuba314:
Im not too pissed myself, they might have came out with a new vibrant, but I will hold off until the tegra 2 phones drop. Now if they said they made it dual core, then I would be upset.
[Vibrant General] tribalb:
I too am a lil butthurt. But true. This new vibrant will bring software and drivers to help with the banding issues on ffc. We just lose out on 4g. I wouldn't be outraged...one day ur phone is hot next day its not. Id wait on a duel core processor android before getting the new vibrant
[Vibrant General] Louis53:
Antenna Swap

Ok, Please correct me if I am wrong, but I was a little curious about this.

Since it seems like the Vibrant 4G is just an upgraded version of our phone with 4G and FFC, wouldn't it be possible to swap out the antenna of the Vibrant 4G with ours to get HSPA+? I mean I know I'm being a little optimistic (because I'm almost positive it's not that easy), but would it be possible?

Almost like we're able to swap out our cam for the I9000 cam?

So this is the answer to android 2.2 on the vibrant? I guarantee this will be released instead of an update to the current vibrants. Sure, Ive been running 2.2 for a while now but I feel bad for all the other vibrant owners that dont know how to root/install roms.
[Vibrant General] lincoln131:
I don't want to have to buy a new phone to get my GPS fixed.
[Vibrant General] SBboundbRONCOS:
not a huge deal to me as ive rooted and have been running froyo for months but damn this is bogus regardless.

im bought this phone about 2 weeks after it came out and was told by both samsung and tmobile that it would be getting froyo "very shortly" here we are months later with NOTHING, barely even a GPS fix, i could have returned this but no they kept saying its coming, its coming . . . . my butt

this is such a scam company, never again will i buy samsung. again this has nothing to do with people who rooted their phones (thanks devs for all the work) but how about the 500,000 other people who have this phone and have to deal with these empty promises
[Vibrant General] timmay2t:
This personally doesn't bother me at all. We already have FFC, and froyo, all this phone is going to do, is fix the issues that we have with both because we'll have the correct source lol.

And on top of it, we'll probably be able to swap the antenna out as long as it's not on the board itself.
[Vibrant General] ap3604:
Ouch.

Being locked into a 2 year contract and then having your phone replaced by a new model in less than 6 months is sad to see. Usually you want the phone you buy to be relevant for at least a year but I guess it wasn't meant to be. My heart goes out to you Vibrant owners :(
