I was wondering if anyone knows how to enable the default Android 2.2 lockscreen vs the one provided by Samsung? The look of the Samsung one has always kind of annoyed me, and I prefer the stock android one if possible. No big deal if not, but just thought I'd check to see if it could be done anyway :) (running the stock 2.2 update that was just released, in case that wasn't implied)
[Vibrant General] Nothingness00:
actually im interested too. i hate the 2.2 samsung unlock screen. mine doesnt work most of the time, i have to swipe from top to bottom across the whole screen to work. i enabled the password puzzle in the mean time just to get rid of it.

Hi

I got nexus battery calibrator but I don't get how it works. Its a simple question. How do I have to calibrate? The text in the app doesn't make any sense imho. I don't get it.

Also which settings should I set it to

Not a urgent question but any help is much appreciated

Just wanting to get a FYI. I may by default try for a replacement before my 1 year is over. Whats the process I should go through in order to make sure its a valid replacement.

What ROM should I go recover to?

What process should i go through to unroot?

Is there anything else i should make sure is done before I send in my phone after getting replacement?

Do you have phone insurance?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jfisanick:
Unless you have insurance and there is a major problem with you phone Tmo isn't going to replace your phone.

Unrooting is easy its basically typing in a few commands to unroot it or you can do it via OCLF

As far as putting the stock rom back in place you can use ODIN
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joe.kerwin:
T-Mo is very inconsistent. If you call one time, you can get someone that is Super Rep and will go by the book and make it hard to get a replacement. If you call again, you can end up talking to someone who just sends you a new one no questions asked.

I've had 4 vibrants since july, and have swapped them all at my t-mo store. Theyre not supposed to do that, but they do, sometimes you just gotta ask nicely and look like a victim.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildklymr:
Someone at tmo isnt doing their job. After the 3rd exchange within 3 months they are supposed to force you into a different model phone, and release you from your contract in case you want to leave them.

Because after 3 exchanges, you're costing them more money than you're worth to them.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] isaac970:
dude that is just a insult right there lol. to the OP i would say that your touch screen is not responding right and that the phone turns itself off and on and that youve tried factory resetting it and you even bought a oem battery, by telling them that they will for sure replace it works all the time i want to get my phone replaced and never once have i had a rep deny me. oh and btw dont get express shipping thats a rip off the phone still gets there on time like for me it took 3 days when i upgraded to the g2 on regular ground shipping and just recently i got a replacement vibrant that took three days with express shipping. and hopefully you dont get a effed up vibrant as a replacement cause i did and im pissed gonna call tmo about that oh and you might get lucky if you complain a bit and say you bought a battery and get some free service, they gave me a month of something for free dont remember... do they actually check the phone when you send it back? i dont think they would hmm i would like to get that answered.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jarubcic:
I did a full upgrade to my vibrant and the other line on my account in august.im on my fourth replacement on my vibrant because......um.....well just because. I just got another full upgrade on both my lines. I got the tab last month (wifi/3g) for 340.00 no data package required and a g2 for like 150. Look the secret is, when you call tmo just ask for retention no matter what. Complain and act like a victum. If the first rep you call will not bend over backwards, hang up and call right back and talk to another. Within three reps you should be able to get ne thing you want.

[Vibrant General] Haxel:
There is less battery consumption in low/no signal areas with KA7/KA5. For some reason KA6 used more battery for me in buildings with weak signal.

Another thing I noticed was the email client appeared more responsive with exchange, and if you had multiple invalid entries it tried to correct. (by making linked contacts, I didn't realize the mail client allows multiple "mobile" numbers. Exchange will NOT allow it.) In KA6 and older it didn't do that.

That is my 2c.

I was just wondering what you guys, if any of you, installed in case of a lost/stolen phone.

I mean that I would like to find a proper app that wipes the phone for outside on a simple text message or any other things that cannot be disable by the theft if it happens. I've tried some of them, forgot the names, but it doesn't seem to work, well that was before NAND though.

Of course, I would like to find an app that is free, but if there's really nothing that work, well then I'll pay if it's a decent price.

Any clues?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Jeffro64:
I use Lookout... It is free in the market and if you decide too, you can pay for premium. It give you a full trial for 30 days I think it is but you get most features in the free version.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ghis1:
Thanks, though the problem that I saw with this app is that in the free version there is no "wipe" available as it is only in the premium version. And paying 30$ every year is not what I'm looking for... Though if another app has a 1 time payment, then it might be acceptable.

If it's free, it's even better...;)

Thanks anyways, I've already installed the app you told me
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Jeffro64:
Yup... that is a drawback for sure, but I haven't found a free one as of yet. I'm still considering the premium lookout myself just cause it does so much.

I spend a fair amount of the day in areas with intermittent reception.

My battery life is really poor, since I think the phone is frequently looking for a signal that may not exist.

Is there a way to improve this without having to manually turn the cellular radio on and off?

Thanks!
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
improve the cell reception or the battery?

for battery, settings, wireless and something

uncheck the first 2
[Vibrant General] All~G1:
You could possibly use something like "locale" which is gps/location based or tasker which is system based, but I'm not 100 percent sure it support something like this. You might also want to try and take a look at the "superapp" by xda. All Apps can be found in the market.
[Vibrant General] VICosPhi:
You could use Tasker for this. You can create a profile that disables your cell radio (airplane mode) when there is poor / no reception and checks for cell signal every 10 minutes or so which is customizable. Its not a free app but a great app to invest in.

If you have Wifi where you dont have cell coverage then you could use wifi calling which saves battery as well..

So, quick backstory. I have two PC's at home. A brand new win 7 64 bit laptop, and an older XP desktop. Neither will recognize my vibrant, and never have. At work, I have a win XP desktop, and I can connect the phone to that and use mass USB storage and move stuff around just fine, so I've gotten by in that regard in these 6 long months.

Then comes this #$%%^$#$ Froyo update. Who thought it would be easy?

I have downloaded kies on each machine. (As well as ODIN, but same issues.....computer/phone wont communicate). I cannot get my two home computers to connect to the phone, no matter what settings. BTW, I have rooted my phone with OCLF and subsequently un-rooted before trying any of the following. I have not flashed or updated the phone otherwise with any other software, other than what apps are available in the market.

I've tried

-USB Debugging on/off

-all 10 USB ports between the three PC's in all configurations

-deleted all USB drivers and restarted on both computers

-installed the appropriate drivers from samsung for each pc

-wasted 7 hours with samsung support troubleshooting to no avail

The USB cable is fine. The most promising progress is on my work PC, where I got Mini Kies going, connected and started the update, it finished decompressing the binary files, but then a USB not recognized warning pop up and kies kicked out the update.

I have installed, reinstalled the drivers for each system several times with samsung support. Nothing is working.

I don't know what else to do. This is the most frustrating experience in my life. Any suggestions or similar experiences that have been remedied?

I was having promblems also but eventually got it to work for me on an xp machine on stock jfd. It updated me to ji6 then I did the ka6 update when it was released. I gave up on my win7 system lol. Is your xp system 32bit or 64?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] engineer14:
same here i have a win7 64 bit machine, i can connect to normal kies 1.51. i tried to update, it downloaded the files and just got stuck when it started putting it on the phone (luckily, it did not start the installation so i was okay).

mini kies shows that it recognizes my phone but crashes immediately after that.

i do not think the vibrant is supported by newer versions of kies, like 2.0.

I solved my problem by using my 32bit xp system.

edit: just FYI, i can connect to normal kies 1.51, sync my data and all that stuff. i also updated to ji6 thru normal kies, and I can transfer files and whatnot thru usb. I do not even think i needed to install the drivers manually

The only luck I've had is on a winXP 32 bit machine, but then it cuts off the installation when it suddenly says "USB Not Recognized" (despite, um, the fact that it recognized it at the beginning, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to initiate the update!)

I'll give those Win7 64 drivers a try at home, although I'm pretty sure I have downloaded the same ones in my quest for a solution.

Do you suggest plugging in the phone, then installing the drivers, or leaving the phone unconnected and restarting the computer then trying to connect, or ???? The biggest issue on the Win7 machine is the phone not communicating with it AT ALL. Not even showing up in device manager as unknown or anything.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattack:
SOLVED

I finally got it to work, after about 15 attempts! (on a win XP machine)

Here's what I did in case it will help someone else:

When I plugged in my phone, I saw two items in the USB list in device manager. One said "Samsung Android USB Composite Device" (internal SD?), and the other said "USB Mass Storage Device" (external SD?). In this configuration, I got kicked out of the install each time after it "decompressed the binary files".

So what I did on a hunch was go to the device manager and "update" the driver for the USB Mass storage device to the "ssadadb2.inf" file included in the Vibrant USB drivers available directly from Samsung's Vibrant page.

Selected "Samsung Kies" on the USB settings on the phone, turned on USB Debugging, opened Kies on the computer, plugged in the phone, and it did it's thing.

Only took 3 days to figure it out!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PDY05:
Yeah its been a hit or miss. I have win7 x64 on two laptops and my desktop. It works in the desktop and only one of the laptop and I installed the same drivers for all 3
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dank81:
W/ WIN 7 64 Bit I upgraded my phone to Froyo.

I'm running win 7 SP1 64 bit.

Samsung told me that Kies mini and the driver is not compatible to 64 bit.

After some research this is what I have done and able to upgrad my phone to Froyo.

1. check the USB debugging.

- Samsung says to uncheck it. but if you do, you probably have MTP USB device error. So make sure your USB debugging is on.

2. After the you connect your phone, Samsung Kies Mini keeps crashing??

-Uninstall IE 9.

Solution is...

*Check the USB Debugging and Uninstall IE 9.

**Make your the battery is fully charged.

Connect phone

Start Kies Mini
