Well, debut day of Vibrant 4G or Successor is coming up. There will be people showing up to buy them. They will be watching its debut day. There will also be press and reviewers about its debut. Thus, if you have a crew of buddies willing to help you out in boycotting their Vibrant 4G or any of the coming Galaxy S product with picket signs and banners for in front of the local stores with drums and horns. Have your buddies call up local news and it will make it to some news since people will wonder what is going on... Resist if they give you and your buddies Vibrant 4G to shut you guys up. Too bad we just missed the CES. With all those press there, that would have been perfect! We need to organize into big group to do this more effectively even if lawsuit takes forever.

This will get them to know how angry we are about this "Froyogate"

Also, maybe somebody needs to make a boycott app for ALL Galaxy S product.

Furthermore, if Froyo works in "Vibrant 4G" - another product of Vibrant, this means it should be already for distribution for the Vibrant 3G version with minor changes.

I like the sound of all of this. I can't stand the idea that samsung suffers no repercussions for selling so many broken phones. Froyo or no froyo, the phones gps is broken, samsung shouldn't have the option to not fix it, it's INSANE
[Vibrant General] cwoodworth:
I thought that if you demonstrate to T-Mobile that the official Samsung GPS Tool fails, they would consider it defective and send for a replacement. Don't crucify me if I'm wrong, I haven't dealt with either companies.

My Samsung Vibrant came hardware locked, with faulty GPS. Samsung told me it wasn't there problem (no warranty because I brought it into Canada without an "international warranty"). Have I thought about a class action suit? Nope. I dunno, maybe it's because I'm Canadian or something, but I've just tried to fix my own problems. It's not the first product that's let me down, and I don't expect some lawyer to make it all better. Eventually the awesome people on this forum came up with a fix for the hardware lock. Then they brewed up roms based on the 2.2 leaks. Then a hardware GPS fix, combined with new software updates and now my GPS locks on in under 15s.

So what have I learned from all of this? I won't be purchasing a Samsung phone again. They've lost a customer. I vote with my wallet, not by signing some e-petition, or joining a Facebook group.

Do you really think a class action would change anything? Even if you are successful, you'll probably just get a credit towards your next Samsung purchase, or a refund on the cost of the GPS chip.

Let them know how you feel, and that you won't purchase any of their products in the future, and will be advising friends/family to do the same. kobesabi has outlined some great ways to let them know.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
OP, check out the hashtag thread. If everyone screams the same thing our voice is louder.
[Vibrant General] swehes:
I understand your feelings. And I think most people in here is of the mindset that we can fix our phones better than Samsung. What is going on here is a movement towards holding Samsung to their promises. They are in the OHA and therefor are legally bound to release the Source Code for the Vibrant. The second thing is that they promised multiple times throughout the last year that they would release Froyo to the US Galaxy S phones, and they didn't. If you vote by your wallet that is OK. How much do you spend on buying a new phone? With the current pricing around $500 without contract. If one person doesn't give Samsung their $500, Samsung doesn't care. If all the people on XDA doesn't give them $500, Samsung still won't care. However if we can get enough people to realize that Samsung is not a good company to buy from as they have TERRIBLE software support for their phones, if we could get 100,000 people at first, that is $50 million, which is still just a drop in the bucket for them, but that is surely more painful than $500. This is to try to make Samsung take responsibility for their products.
[Vibrant General] cwoodworth:
Agreed, Samsung should be held to the agreements made regarding their source code. I also agree that people should be informed Samsung as a company, and their poor customer relation choices.

I just think a Class Action is the wrong way to do it

[Vibrant General] marsupial99:
Here's one more thing we can do:

Post bad reviews of Samsung Galaxy phones on all online retailer web sites that sell them. Got an Amazon account? Post feedback there and drive this phone's rating down it gets Samsung's attention and warns potential buyers about buying a product that they will most likely be dissatisfied with once they realize that GPS is marginally functional and that it's running now outdated version of Android with no update in sight. Do the same on Tiger Direct, NewEgg and whoever else sells this phone.

Collectively we can definitely make Samsung take notice.

I flashed a new kernel through Odin, after the reboot, there was no signal.

This also happens for all other kernels I flashed after that.

The signal would only appear if I used a ROM without a flashing a different kernel.

Any idea why?

On a side note, I'm still getting previous ROM stuff ( Apps, data, wallpapers ) even after I repartioned everything and reverted back to stock. Any idea why too?

Hi,

today I saw a black spot on my images from camera and also on my videos. It seems like I have a dust on the image sensor. Does anyone know is it easy to clean this? I disassembled the phone following a guide in YouTube but then I have no idea where the sensor is. So I just blew randomly around the camera with a "blower bulb" but no change. I also tried a few hits :) But that didn't help either.

I refer to the back camera.
[HD2 General] bstylz911:
as far as i know the hd2 records only at 480

is it possible for it to record at 1080p?

i was gonna buy this phone but i need a phone that records in HD.

thank you in advance.
[HD2 General] TheATHEiST:
The only way currently to record in HD is via the WP7 ROM ans thats in 720p not 1080p.

Set display language to US and you will see the extra settings via camera.

Okay im tryinig to get my head around this it may take a while so bear with me.

Well i was a my nans wake 2days ago a private function for friends and family which started at 12 and went till 4ish.

Upon returning home that night i checked my messages on my home phone and there was a message from a mobile phone number which i did not know, the message was left at 2.11pm, now the message was of background noise which as it turns out was friends and family talking at the wake, the message went for at least ten minutes.

So i rang the persons number which belonged to a julie who lived in sydney some 400km away, she has not left sydney for the past 12 months and doesnt even know laurieton the town i was in yet somehow her number has left a message using one of our phones to listen to our conversation? make sense??....lol it doesnt to me and sounds weird trying to explain it does anyone have anything like that happen or can explain it?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aph:
MIUI and CM7 both say to do a full wipe and not restore system settings, otherwise you risk getting random bugs.

As far as I've been able to figure out, my SMS messages are stored in system settings in Titanium Backup.

So is there any way to get them back without doing a full system settings restore?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craigbailey1986:
I don't think so, because when you restore the system file it would also restore other things from the previous Rom...

There is a app to back up sms. So best thing would be go back to Rom you were using and use that app, I don't know the name of but its in the market, and then you will always have them because of the app no matter what Rom you are on
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aph:
Thanks.

I prefer the idea of storing them on SD card rather than Gmail so "SMS Backup & Restore" seems to do the job nicely.

Only caveat is it doesn't backup MMS.

XDA Members,

This is my first post, and the HTC Evo is my first true Android device (late, I know, but I tried the Cliq and... eh...)

We all know that the battery for the Evo isn't enough. I'm on eBay examining my options, and noticed that there are extended batteries sold in the US that all pretty much look the same.

Are there any particular sellers that you would recommend? I know what ultimately matters is the brand and what the label says but I figured that this forum chock full of experienced Android enthusiasts would have certain people they'd recommend for certain products.

If not eBay, I have a couple of cheaper batteries available on Amazon.

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Accessories] OneStepAhead:
the best performing battery is the stock oem htc battery, unless you want to use an extended battery door and make the evo look like a whale. then get the official sprint extended battery, it's about 50 bux. I get about 30 hours on my stock battery thanks to the great kernels and roms on this forum.

But there is no such script in my /system/etc folder. In fact, there are no scripts in the folder.

Here is my ADP1:

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tehseano:
I've searched, but most of the posts are either asking "how to wipe it via adb" and then the thread gets sent into a different direction, and isn't directly answering my question.

I have an update.zip that just does all my wipes in one click, rather than having to wipe data/cache, then system, boot, and dalvik. Instead, I just run the update, it formats them all, makes life easier for me.

anyways I want to know if I can add a command in to wipe dalvik cache? Thanks in advance for any replies!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkeee:
I don't see why not; Titanium Backup has a function that can do it for you.

I don't know the partition block for dalvik cache on the g2. But the command would look something like:

su

mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk[xxx] /sdcard/

rm -r /sdcard/dalvik-cache/*
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCRic:
CWM has an option under advanced that clears the dalvik cache - if you're using an update script then you must already be using CWM, seems pointless to me but I can see not wanting to have the extra steps.

Anyway, if you really want to know what script to use then just break apart CWM and the scripts should be in there. I have one from my MT3GS (pre s-off, so it's an update.zip not an image) which should be easier to tear apart but I don't know if the partitions are the same as the G2.

You can either write this into the update-script or tell the update-script to execute a .sh file which is written with linux commands so it easier to do if you're not familiar with update scripting. Just an fyi.

I'm making this thread to avoid confusion now that there is a working port.

Well just heard back from xxbabiboi228xx and trock79 apparently will be using parts of his rom in the future, but until then.

Here is my port, everything seems to work and I do not intend on maintaining this. Hope this works out for anyone who wants it.

This is a straight port of xxbabiboi228xx's rom! I did not have anything to do with the development of this rom and take no credit for doing so, only for making it work on the inc.

build 1

http://www.multiupload.com/JGRRQM38KZ

build 2

http://www.multiupload.com/8N9XY7CHPN

build 3

http://www.multiupload.com/FWNZYAQB6T

Changlog:

build 2:

Cleaned up the sprint stuff and added the gingerbread keyboard. Htc keyboard still there by default. Also added the htc lock screen back with an optional download for the vanilla lockscreen in the first post. You can try a flash over and it should work, but I recommend a full wipe, quite a bit was changed. Let me know if flash over works out if you try. Trimmed 10mb's off.

build 3:

Updated to new host rom (xxbabiboi228xx' 2.4) Changed battery indicator to vertical green with percentage (gingerbread style). Theme changed a little bit here and there.

Integrated rosie right key setting (internet icon still present after change) and notification toggle widget changer (PowerControl settings)

No more bootloop on first boot (you don't have to wait to see the lockscreen twice anymore)

New clean and simple bootanimation, very nice in my opinion

bugs known:

4g settings and sprint apps are still present

Other than that, nothing else that I know of

I have tested:

browser

phone

mms and sms

wifi

bluetooth

gps

market

camera with flash

camcorder (720)

mail and facebook sync

Just to be clear I do not intend to maintain this rom. If anyone else wants to take over from here, great! Its a really nice looking rom for sure. I only did this because it was requested and I liked the look of it. The rom runs great, check it out!
