"Find a friend with a vibrant, tell him ur gonna do something cool to his phone, and switch batteries"

well, he's kinda right, you need to see if it's the battery or the phone, if it's a hardware problem, there is nothing you can do about it but change the battery. and the best way to know is to use someone else's for a while to compare, knowingly preferably :)

i bought a 2800mah extended battery for mine.... and its SWEEEEEET, never have to worry about my phone dying on me anymore! even if i do flash several ROM's a day!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shreddintyres:
Just out of curiousity when you flash new builds on to your phone are you flashing at 100% battery? I had a similar problem until i started making sure to be charged to 100% before I flashed. Its also worth noting that I seem to get better battery on ROMS I have flashed over stock JFD, this may just be a coincidence but maybe it will help.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AngryDinosaur:
go to the samsung website and but a new battery for your Vibrant

i did it sao i have 2 batteries to switch them around so im always charged
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clayfree:
The best advice I have seen regarding batteries:

1. Always flash at 100%

2. It takes a couple days fo a rom to settle in.

3. Use system tools and see what apps are constantly running.

4. You can use Titanium backup to freeze apps you don't need in the background.

5. I always turn the brightness way down. These screens are very bright and if you look at battery usage it's always the display that uses the most power.

Find the combination that works for you. Nero4 has been very good for me, I flashed Nero5 and it really ate my battery for some reason. I'm currently running Nero4 with KA7 and it seems good so far. I've heard good thing about KA6 & KA7. With Nero4 I was at 40+ hours and still had battery left. I also see good reports of Nero5 + KA7.

Good luck.

I've looked everywhere trying to find the answers (FAQ, other threads) I simply cannot find it, I'm not seeing it at all. If there a thread, please my sincere apologies and a simple link would be much appreciated.

I'm trying to install Android v2.2 Froyo: Reference on my HTC Touch Pro 2.

From Telus, (Montreal, QC)

WM 6.1

8GB SD.

Whenever I click on the Haret file. 3 of the following things happen. All three happen right after the "HaRET: Booting Linux" loading bar is completed.

1. My phone either instantly freeze (This issues the the most common one).

2. Linux manages to load up and runs through momentarily before freezing on me.

3. Linux loads up, seems to be running the Haret program without any problems. Suddenly it stops and the phone reboots. Which starts loading MW 6.1 .

I've tried removing the files from my SD card put them back on, made sure "andboot" was on there. I've tried installing about 30 times now.

Please help :eek:

Thanks ahead of time.

Well im getting vision from tmobile on monday and im pretty excited. But, i just rooted my brother's glacier and it was ridiculously easy.

Which do you guys honestly think is better? And i really like the screen on the Glacier. is the vision's similar besides the size?

I bought a glacier and used it for a few days. It was nice to have a solid bar phone again, but it was horrible not having a keyboard.
[G2 and Desire Z General] dustrho:
Here's what I said in another similar thread...

All I can tell you is that I went through five MyTouch4Gs to realize that there are numerous issues with them. I encountered creaking/squeaking buttons and a washed-out display, others have experienced cracked bezels, dust under the display, FFC not centered and more. I really, really wanted to enjoy that phone, but after going through five of them I gave up on it, and went with the G2. Best decision I've made on a phone. Never did I think I would need or use the physical keyboard, but now that I've had it for a few weeks I now use it all the time. It's a wonderful keyboard, and I have no regrets going from the MT4G to the G2.

My advice to you would be to do some homework in the MT4G sections of XDA, to see what others have to say about it. Lots of problems for many, not all, and the one other thing that sucked about that phone is the lack of ROM development. It finally started picking up steam when I got my G2, but it's still nothing compared to the ROM development being done on a daily basis for the G2.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Shaquiel Harris:
Thanks guys for your input. I'll keep my vision tomorrow :)

Just The Desire and the glacier were so similar besides the keyboard i just wanted to know what others thought. i love the glacier its nice to me. But the ROM development, dev support, and the fact that i can run STOCK Htc sense AND stock Android just has me completely sold for the Vision. Also The Vision is probably one of the best looking devices ive EVER seen. Thanks guys so much for the input.

Is there any other method left I can try to possibly unlock my phone?

[Samsung Mesmerize] dcow90:
I know it may be tempting to flash Fascinate or Showcase (or Vibrant, or i9000, etc) ROMs and Kernels especially since the Fascinate is starting to get some Froyo alpha builds. It is also probably a bit confusing as to why (since we PRETTY MUCH have the same hardware) it wouldn't work. [Unless you can confidently recover from a soft brick without breaking a sweat on your palms and are willing to risk the small chance of a hard brick] Don't.

.

I would like to clarify a few things. It takes a perfect combination of Kernel, Ramdisk, and ROM etc. to get a properly booting system. Usually, swapping one or two of these for software from another device will cause your phone to stop booting, but won't cause any irreparable damage. Sometimes the device may even boot or seem to function properly. Or -- you might get a lovely brick. Even with a seemingly functional phone, you will most likely have carrier specific settings and other carrier or device (or radio or filesystem) dependent crap in the ROM that will prevent your phone from functioning 100%.

Let me also say this, what works for someone else may not necessarily work for you. What did the last sentence say? When you flash a kernel you don't format the entire device. The device may retain some old configurations or files; the master boot record is left untouched, etc. Flashing a ROM usually wipes your entire system directory. The point is, the way most of these update packages work, you can get different results simply by changing the order in which you flash things or by starting from a different image (what software was previously on your device). I have found this device to be rather finicky. Sometimes, things don't even work for me when I go through the exact same steps or the seemingly "proper" steps. Sometimes things only work after an Odin restore to stock. Regardless, my interactions have caused surprisingly unpredictable results.

I am sending this message because I have seen a few users recently put themselves in frustrating situations after flashing software for the Fascinate. First, I hope you NEVER flash software for another device altogether (Vibrant, Nesux S, i9000, Droid..). With the Fascinate, there is a little more breathing room because there are strong similarities between the devices, but if you don't know what you are doing, I still strongly advise against it. Even the same hardware can have a different partitioning system, master boot record, configuration scripts, etc!

I would like to let you know, WE ARE WORKING ON PORTING OVER the AWESOME FROYO WORK that has been done on the FASCINATE. I am relatively new to the Android scene so it's taking longer than I would like or than I expected (I've also been rather unlucky and encountered some stupid error or silly mistake almost every step of the way). I know you all are getting antsy, but don't worry, be patient, we are working on it. AND, if worse comes to worse and we can't get an alpha build out to you all, I have no doubt we will get at least a beta and a final Homebrew Froyo out there for you all.

Best,

dcow
