Hi,

I am attempting the Froyo update on Vibrant through Kies Mini following the T-Mobile Instructions at the following location provuded by twitter account galaxyssupport

I am able to download and install Kies Mini successfully. The drivers seems to be correctly installed because Windows 7 or Windows Vista is able recognize the device. At Stage 3 as instructed I open Kies Mini. It asks me to connect my Vibrant to the computer. I complete this step and that is it. Kies Mini is not able to recognize that the Vibrant has been plugged into the computer though Windows is able to.

I tried this on three different laptops Windows 7 64 Bit and 2 different Windows Vista 32-bit. All to the same result. After going through some of the forums, I set the USB debugging mode on on my Vibrant and connected the device to the computer. On all the three laptops the Kies Mini Crashed with the following error "MiniApplication Launcher has stopped Working".

BTW I even tried by removing my SD card as some forums suggest. No luck

Anyone who has gone though similar troubles and could come up with a solution to get Froyo on Vibrant.

I called T-Mobile they said it is Samsung's problem and then I called Samsung. The CSR who picked up the call asked me few mundane questions some of them same questions repeatedly. Then she said she will connect me to an high level support and WOW that Number does not work and the call ended with the message "EXITING THE SYSTEM" !!!! Samsung and T-Mobile is a dead end now.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks & Regards,

TMax

Mini Kies wont recognize it with USB Debug on...it has to be off and try running it as administrator, with the stock TWLauncher..not LauncherPro, Zeam, or anything like that or you'll get a "Need idle screen warning" if your using one of those.

I'm having the same issue... i've did a factory reset... removed sd card... tried debug on and off... Still nothing. keeps showing "Unregistered Device"

That'll be the same as getting it via mini kies.

I've spent a bunch of time on the phone with T-Mobile and Samsung; 7 hours. I believe the issue is with the KA2 update that was released a couple of days before the KA6. Neither Level 3 reps knew anything about it and kept referencing JI6. Used both Mini Kies received an unregistered device error (I registered my device through Samsung) and used the full version of Kies 1.5.1.1 and it said my firmware version was not available for an update. Use Odin it works and took about 5 to 10 minutes and I didn't lose my user preferences, apps, contacts, etc. Everything works great even GPS.

Ahhh

I am not a techy in any sense of the word so I have been waiting for the official release of 2.2 instead of rooting, because I'm scared ******** to try it. Now release date rolls around, finally, and I can't seem to get it to work. I am having the same issue, well first it was the 16 character file extension issue, but now it is this. My phone is plugged in, Kies is up and running, in my computer it shows my phone, by name, but no update. I have NO idea what so ever what usb "debugging," "touchwiz," or anything of the sort. Hell I am proud of myself for knowing what rooting is. Is there anyone who can help me get froyo on my phone?

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcjacob:
Hi,

I've been seeing the forum threads for portrait mode on the Dell Streak but all have just options for the launcher reorientation.

I have currently locked the system to landscape only since its extremely bothersome when the system is on auto rotate and it rotates by 180 degrees. However even with this, there are apps like Astrid tasks, etc which have some of their screens in portrait - which is a bit irritating...

With the landscape mode its not possible to try an operate the device with one hand. In the portrait mode it is a bit more easier to reach with the thumb across the screen to the opposite side corners and by sliding the hand down the entire screen can be accessed with a single hand when you have to.

Is there some mode where the full system can be made completely in portrait? Of course its understandable that select apps like Klondike, etc will run only on their default landscape mode but is there nothing that can be done for the rest of the system? Something that can probably just be included as a command in the install.txt file for Streakdroid packages perhaps?

I run Streakdroid 1.9.0 and love the new Stage UI. Not particularly impressed with ADW or LauncherPro.

Thanks in advance.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asianftw:
Exactly the same to me, would love to have the streak's rotation behavior like the iPhone, ie. let you lock orientation at your choice.

Hope the next release will fix it

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5kordez5:
hi,

i wanted to ask which phone should i go for, the desire HD or desire Z ... which one is better in performance an has less flaws... the desire z looks weak- for exsample if it would fall on the ground would it break because of the loose hinge, the desire hd - soome people say that the screen is less crisp than the desire Zs and also DHD looks very very big (is it too big) ... so i ask you guys to help me decide which one should i buy:confused: .

greetings :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aliq:
The Desire HD is better in performance as far as I know.

The screen aint that big, it fits in your hand and it's nice to browse on the internet with a bigger screen.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andalism:
1 Better in performance = generally desire HD, because of higher stock speed.

2 Build = desire HD HECK in my honest opinion the z-hinge wasnt a wise design. (i could be wrong)

3 screen = In my opinion if you'd like high res screens you should go for desire-Z. When placed side by side with desire HD, I think the colours look a slightly more vivid.

AH but of course, I've been using my phone(DHD) for 1 month and i can't differentiate between the individual pixels when my eyes are more than 7 cm from the screen. So all in all , I dont think the resolution of the screen screen is a problem of the DHD.

Main disadvantages of the DHD is that sometimes your pocketablility(LOL) is affected at some times, because of its sheer size.(especially if you LOVE wearing skinnys).Not a problem for me though.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
If the hinge on the Z is made as well as that on the G1 you'll be fine. The G1 is virtually bomb proof and after two years and several drops the hinge works perfectly. I'd say you could take quality out of the equation.

The DHD is beter spec'd.

But I really I would have thought the choice comes down to whether or not you want a physical keyboard. As for size, go to a store, check them both out. I find the Z (as with the G1) feels bulkier than the DHD both in hand and pocket.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:
The dhd looks big and ungainly but the erotic curve on the back means it sits nicely in the hand.

Someone swyped my idea.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhiral.v:
I'd say, if you really need a hardware keyboard, then go for the Desire Z, but if your willing to trade the keyboard for a bigger screen then go for the Desire HD. In terms of performance, desire HD is better:

Desire HD vs Desire Z:

768mb RAM vs 512mb RAM

1ghz snapdragon vs MSM 800mhz

and higher stock scores in quadrant...

I love my desire HD, i dont think its too big and i love the size of the screen. Both are solid in terms of build quality, and as for screen, i think the desire z has better colours and contrast, but the screen is still amazing, but in pixel density i didnt really notice a huge difference.

Only if you need the hardware keyboard then go for the desire z, otherwise desire HD.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JupiterDroid:
I have had both, and I'm in love with the DHD, but the Z is a great phone also... DHD FTW

Sent from my Ginger Garnished HTC Desire HD
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gamesmachine:
Before reviving my DHD I was worried it would be massive in hand and bulky in pocket, I thought the screen size would suit my large hands.

It was the right decision, the phone looks big compared to a iPhone for example until you place them on top of one another and see its only slightly bigger. The screen is great, again you can only see the pixels if you put your face on the screen, from normal distance the screen is crisp and natural.

In pocket its skimmer than my wallet and un-noticeable. Great build quality oh and fast.

Hope this helps.

thanks for the replies

you helped me a lot

ive made my decision

im going to buy DHD :D
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
the desire z uses a 2nd generation snapdragon like us, an although the clock speed is only 800mhz, its easly on par if not better than the 1gig snapdragon in the classic desire :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhiral.v:
Yes it is a 2nd gen snapdragon but it is a different model MSM 7230 800 MHz processor whereas desire HD uses QSD 8255 1ghz chip. Definatley both are better than the classic desire becuase they use a 45nm process vs the 65nm process. The 2nd gen also uses the adreno 205 gpu as apose to the adreno 200 in the 1st gen snapdragon. But the desire HD is said to have a stronger processor than the desire z overall.

That said, $150? Makes a hell of a lot more sense to get a replacement, sell it for $400-500 and buy a Desire Z or some other more stable $500 phone.

[Windows Phone 7 General] kapanak:
I recommend Microsoft to implement an "Advanced" tab in the Zune software to dev-unlock phones for users, but it should come with agreements, warnings and such to prevent regular users from attempting...

Or, they could add a new tier of developer accounts for free, so users like XDA-devs would be able to unlock their phones.

The problem with the current dev accounts is that even if you sign up and pay, you still have to submit a US taxt form, etc. AND you do not get verified until you submit your first app, which is kind of ridiculous (at least that is how it works for DreakSpark accounts).

I really hope Microsoft follows up on whatever promise they gave ChevronWP7 devs...

Sorry to hijack your thread man, just trying to keep the forums clean as I also have a question about kernels.

I read recently that slow data transfer speeds via USB could be combated by using the vorkkernel. I installed it but didn't really see much improvement? Apart from my phone started to fecking melt! Anyone else get major heat issue with vork?

My question is apart from flashing the entire Rom again, has anyone got the stock Cyanogen 7 build 8 kernel or a less hot one than vork?

Sent from the back o beyond using the smell of burning plastic via a vork kernel'd desire, s-off, N1 table, CM7 build8.
