[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doktorV:
Thanks for that link - it looks promising so i'll read through it properly and give it a go soon. I can't query to that forum as it's a development thread but a couple more queries...just want to make sure i don't do anything stupid!

The instructions state: Download all the EZOdin, EZbase CSC, PDA, PHONE and PIT if you do not have Samsung Kies installed, The Samsung USB Drivers will be required to.

Do you know if this means to download ALL those things if I don't have Kies installed, or just PIT if I don't have Kies installed? I do have Kies installed so not sure which of the above I require.

And on the Kies topic, it also states: If Samsung Kies is used please make sure you kill all Samsung Kies related services that are running (kies, tray agent, etc.)

sorry if i'm making you smack your head in disbelief at my ignorance, but does this mean I can use Kies to flash a kernel to my phone (and hence not need the above)...or that when using EZOdin to flash my phone, I need to make sure I have Kies completely shut down during the process?

And I assume by having Kies on my PC, I do not need to download the samsung USB drivers.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koflem:
What the first sentence means is that you will need the usb drivers if Kies is not installed. There's a period missing I guess.

For the second one, it means you need to close Kies completely before flashing.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doktorV:
Thanks!

Got EZOdin, and the PDA/PHONE/CSC files, but when I click on the EZBase pit file this is all that's written on the page it opens:

v˜4

Edit: don't know why the rest of my post wouldn't complete above, but no luck in downloading the EZOdin.pit file, either at home (or now here at work).

Any thoughts? Reiterating my noob knowledge (or lack thereof) - I assume the .pit file is crucial to the process? Is there anywhere else I get this file, or another .pit file that will suffice?

Maybe i'll do some reading on PIT....

Rooted successfully!

been a bit of a task over the last fortnight trying to work out the ins & outs of rooting, the ways to go about it and to find a method that worked, which i've

finally

done.

this is really just a post in case anyone in a similar position and feeling as lost as i was along the road to discovery might benefit from how i managed it.

(and this assumes you've already read the many disclaimers out there about bricking your phone, & making sure you do a lot of reading of the threads on this topic)

i ended up using shortfuse superoneclick. got the program from shortfuse.org - v1.9. i downloaded it and ran it with my anitvirus turned off. It worked fine as per the instructions on the website (shortfuse.org) or in the thread here.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doktorV:
Now rooted and have gone and obtained TiB, Terminal Emulator, Wireless Tether and Root Explorer.

Had the speedmod kernel downloaded and was going to try to flash it to my phone via Odin as per the link you provided but wasn't sure if the kernel itself would root my phone and didn't get replies for my query about that.

So...now that i'm rooted you would still recommend flashing the speedmod kernel? I would assume mainly for the benefits of the kernel itself? Any likelihood of problems arising, having already rooted with SuperOneClick?

Thanks for your advice - the speedmod does sound good and have heard many happy reports from users.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgsshedden:
yes it would have rooted you hence my suggestions for using it: sorry to have not been more clear

yes the speedmod kernel would be an upgrade over the stock one but my signature indicates what I use now: very fast and outstanding, not available on xda

I was never able to get oneclick to work as it was blocked on my pc, so my solution stemmed from having to find an alternate answer to a problem like yours

its fun once you get started: lots of help, even more opinion!

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Damonkashu:
I opened up the back but I didn't see any indicator of the class.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Br1cK'd:
I think its a class 6. I gave mine away and replaced it with a bigger one, but I remember matching the class, and the one I have currently is a class 6.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PJcastaldo:
its not like your doing apps2sd... why does the sd card class matter?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Br1cK'd:
What matters is the speed that it reads the data, writes new data, does your media scanning when you boot up, and plays the files that you store there.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paging Dr B:
I believe it comes with a class 2 card. Most smartphones only come with a class 2 since they cost less.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sLiKK:
Im also wondering wihch class sd card is good for vibrant. Of course I would want the possible fastest one.

Having said that, I just found a deal on micro sdcard and was wondering if this is the one compatible with vibrant. Here is the LINK

Would you guys recommend it?

Thanks.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mozXegX:
Well, it seems that the Vibrant comes with a Class 6 16GB SD Card, so it wouldn't make sense to use a Class 4 8GB :eek:

I don't know if it's compatible with other Classes. :confused:
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Br1cK'd:
Where to begin.....

The Vibrant comes out of the box with 16 GB of available storage. You have the internal, which is mounted to the system board, and gives you the phones partitions as well as your 14 GB partition for your data. Then, there is the replaceable external sd card, which is only 2GB in size, and as Dr. B pointed out, and to my own error, it is a class 2 micro sd card. That is the one the OP is referring to.

Hello everyone, my samsung vibrant isnt working as it should be. When I boot up my cell everything works normally but the media scanning will not complete! It does complete the scan once but for some odd,reason it shows up again and on the top left it has the media scanning... I have tried to reboot, remove sd card, and reformat my cellphone and nothing helped. This makes me unable to open any media related apps and heats up my cellphone like crazy! Also drains my battery Fast!! Im sorry if someone posted the same question but all I found was ppl saying it takes too long not frozen.

If not have u tried odin? Different roms?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Itaijan:
Thankyou for the reply. Unfortunately it didnt work. When I used the rescan media it just showed scanning at top no matter how long I waited, if I clicked close after done in pereference the program started to close imediately so I had to reinstall. Also the rescan media root.i tried.but each time I rescan it gave errors. I also think the sd.card isnt the prob because.when I turn on the phone without the card it still shows scanning after the first complete. Now the battery is going from full to half in 2 hour just staying on. Any other suggestion?

[Nook Color General] Hexodam:
My nook coolor has worked perfectly since the day I got it, the second day after release. Last night when I put it in the charger I noticed that if the cable was pushed a little bit up when then nook lay flat it lost connection. It actually been charging itself up to 50% untill it stopped charging beacause of the cable.

I'm thinking that the micr usb port is the probleme here, is this a known issue?
[Nook Color General] human0metronome:
I've seen reports of this being a problem. Usually the cord is at fault. You should be able to exchange it at a B&N
[Nook Color General] danger-rat:
The USB port on the NC has two stages. The first stage has the standard 5 pin connections, but the second stage has 12 pins that are specific to charging the Nook. If you don't push the cable all the way in, it won't engage the 12 pins and won't charge properly...
[Nook Color General] Pre-dawn raid:
I've noticed this too on my NC. The cable plugs into the device easy enough but the slightest movement of the cord causes it to cycle between charging and not charging (orange and green 'n' on the cord). This makes it virtually unusable while plugged into AC power...not a deal breaker but a pretty annoying little bug. Will a new cord really fix this issue and will B&N replace them for free?
[Nook Color General] daemonfly:
On similar hardware, often times that is an issue with the internal jack being tweaked too often and breaking the solder connections, or the copper traces themselves. From the tear-down pics, it's all surface mount, which means if it IS the jack, you're most likely SOL if not under warranty.
[Nook Color General] LittleAcorn:
I've had my NC for about 3 weeks. My micro usb connector is no longer connecting reliably. I have to lay the NC on its face for the connector to maintain a data connection. The power connection is more reliable, but not 100% either.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colorme:
After doing a restore and wiping my phone data, my contacts disappeared. I'm a little confused, because I thought that since they were stored in Google, they would reappear the first time I synced up. (I may have done something incorrectly here.)

I have Lookout installed, and restored from a contacts backup I had on there. While contacts appear in my dialer when I start typing their name, they don't show up in the People app built into Android.

Does anyone know of a way to get the contacts that are obviously being stored somewhere on my phone (since Dialer can find them) back into the People app?

Blame T-mobile, you can tell they held back the FFC, HSPA+ and Froyo on the Vibrant, so it won't hurt the sales of there Mytouch 4g. My guess we will see a official 2.2 update on our Vibrant once the updated Vibrant releases.
[myTouch 4G General] pdxmatts:
According to this article from tmonews, the G2 and MyTouch 4G are capped out at 14.4mb's while the new Samsung Vibrant Plus will be capable of 21mb speeds. Why is there a cap? Thoughts?

[myTouch 4G General] jester450:
Unless it's a radio change, don't see why the MT4G can't take advantage of the "FULL" speeds when it's bumpped up to 21 Mbps. Besides, we'll probably see actual speeds of 14 Mbps or so (give or take).
[myTouch 4G General] HTCMDA:
i don't think anyone has even seen 14.4 on their MT4G yet.

so i don't think it really matters what the Failsung vibrant has.
[myTouch 4G General] pdxmatts:
Why are some comments in that article stating that the MT4G is HSPDA 14.4 and not HSPA+ 14.4. The TMO website specs show it as HSPA+ 14.4 http://mytouch.t-mobile.com/mytouch-4g-features#/specs-and-manuals
[myTouch 4G General] kgbkny:
HSDPA and HSPA+ are one and the same.

As far as the upcoming Samsung fiasco (Vibrant 4G) is concerned, I highly doubt it matters that it is THEORETICALLY capable of hitting 21 Mbps. As has already been noted, the MT4G and G2 are capable of reaching 14.4 Mbps. I have both phones in my household and haven't seen either reach past 6 Mbps. It's all a marketing gimmick.

Speaking of Samsung, several blogs have already speculated that Samsung burned bridges with a lot of Vibrant customers by delaying the 2.2 update and not providing a stable fix for known issues. Since I unloaded my Vibrant for the MT4G, I'm not affected by the Vibrant's issues. Had I chosen to keep it, I would be none too happy right now.
[myTouch 4G General] rjhay22:
Sup man, I agree with you on speeds I have both phones as well, and never seen it go past 6.5Mbps... However HSDPA and HSPA+ are not the same, HSDPA which is also known as 3.5G and HSPA+ which is 4G... They are part of the High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) a family of high speed data services available to GSM carriers.
[myTouch 4G General] dweezy108:
How do you see the speed that your phone is going?

How do you see the speed that your phone is going? You said you've never seen it past 6.0mb's ive never seen a speed at all.
[myTouch 4G General] rjhay22:
Speedtest app from the market.
[myTouch 4G General] MrHKM:
To add to what RJhay22 said he is correct HSDPA and HSPA+ is not the same. As HSDPA (high speed downlink packet access) is considered 3.5G by today's standard and is capable of 7-14Mbps using UMTS. Where HSPA+ (high speed packet access) is 21-42Mbps and sadly due to FFC changing standards its now considered 4G.

Most of us don't even get 6Mbps hell I don't even see 3Mbps. So there is no point at this time on what Samsung is trying as they are just playing another gimmick game watch they will soon declare it "Superphone" lol
[myTouch 4G General] knaries2000:
The highest I have gotten on my phone was 8m down 1.9m up. If I can get any where near 10m average for the next couple of year it is more than enough until I get a new phone.
[myTouch 4G General] luvbug1977:
Yeah...best I've gotten using Speedtest on H is just over 5 up/2 down. When connected to wifi is a different story...19 up/3 down
[myTouch 4G General] MrHKM:
I just took speedtest to really see what I was getting here at home. :O you guys are so lucky as hell my avg tx rate is 300kB/s (2400kbps) and avg rx rate is 24kB/s (193kbps). I know I got higher before but ill test it in diff area only wish we had more radio's available for MT4G as I wanted to update it.
[myTouch 4G General] stoneyjonez:
Yeah there's no "cap". In other words, T-Mobile does just flip a switch limiting the speed, its a matter of the phone's hardware capabilities. Who cares though? You'll never see even 14.4. Why would you really need more bandwidth than that anyway (unless you're tethering)? The fact is, people will get the new Vibrant thinking it's fast as hell, and they'll be getting the same speeds as us.

[myTouch 4G General] faux123:
Yes and Maybe...

According to the default build.prop that came with MT4G ROM (under /system/build.prop, root access required):

ro.ril.hsdpa.category=10 (14.4 mbs download max, so it's even lower than the advertised HSPA+21, Class 14), I have since changed the value to 20 just in case TMoUSA decided to turn on their new HSPA+ 42 (Class 20) in Los Angeles...

This is a software setting, not sure if the radio hardware will support Class 20 speed...

My thought exactly. No one really gets oiver 7 megs from what I have seen.
[myTouch 4G General] shadowjin:
I think the point is.. if T-mobile is limiting the mytouch4g and G2 in terms of speed.. whats the point of having various 4g phones capped at different speeds? Once they fully upgrade, there will be various tiers of 4g phones. I upgraded to take advantage of there newer network (for the future) now to find out its capped.
[myTouch 4G General] MrHKM:
Maybe they will simply do rom update and claim now you are using there enhanced HSPA+ 4G lol making it sound like they actually did some type of upgrade. Hell I would love to speedtest it in 4G area long as I get 250kB/s downstream and 50kB/s upstream I am fine as thats more than enough of me browsing web and time to time watching video.
[myTouch 4G General] stoneyjonez:
I don't see the problem. These were not advertised as being capable of 21Mbps, so why would you complain that it does not reach these speeds?

Sent from my HTC Glacier
[myTouch 4G General] MrHKM:
Lol what world are you living in buddy? It's all about bragging who can support what without actually offering it. I'll be happy if I can get full regular HSPA speed, ATM keep in mind OTA is not fully consistent due to a lot of variables.
[myTouch 4G General] kgbkny:
Download the SpeedTest app from the market. It's specifically designed to measure your upstream/downstream speeds. Be forewarned, though - some people question its accuracy.
[myTouch 4G General] kgbkny:
I stand corrected. HSDPA is capable of reaching 14 Mbps, whereas HSPA+ is capable of reaching 42 Mbps. Both speeds are theoretical, of course.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSDPA

Keep in mind that there really is no such thing as 4G in the United States as of right now. In order for a system to obtain the 4G classification, it must be capable of reaching 100 Mbps downlink speeds.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4G

[myTouch 4G General] Chadastrophic:
The G2 and MT4G are hardware limited to 14.x, the new Samsung will be 21.x, right now that means nothing, but when the towers are able to transmit at theoretical speeds of 21.x the new Samsung should beat the older devices in speed tests.
