I am now on my 3rd MT4G and I just had some problems in connection with Google Maps 5 and/or Latitude. I open the application and it freezes. The screen is unresponsive and I only can close the application via the home button. I cannot use the menu button, backward button neither the icons on the top for places, layers etc... this happens on wifi as well as on cell connections. I am not sure if it is a software problem or hardware problem because I never had this problem before on my other MT4Gs. I factory reset the phone and it still happens from time to time. Has anybody the same problems?

Battery kept saying 100, but as soon as it was unplugged instantly went to 99.

So i used odin and did the whole nine and charged phone while on had to charge three times back to back and and then it stayed at 100 even after unplugged give it a try..... Hope it works for y'all too!:D

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xstop:
lol, some has to have it perfect. ...and yes I'm guilty of that too :o
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CuriousTech:
Well, if you consider the percentage as being a visual respresentation of the battery's voltage along with a bit of math, then as soon as you remove the charge power, the voltage drops.

It's really nothing like the fuel gauge in your car. Don't get too fixated on it because it's not a very accurate representation of "how charged" the battery is especially at the top, but the 100 is so much better than the stock 10 or so icons... which was more out of sight out of mind. :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eugenethenderson:
Yeah I was on 2.2.1. So that drains the batt a little quicker?

Sorry to sound stupid. Still new to all this.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CuriousTech:
In 2.2.1 there's an issue discussed in the Perception thread where the system apps sync constantly.

Go to Settings->Applications->Samsung Apps and turn it OFF.

An interesting read for you may be the http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=806211&highlight=battery+drain thread. I found this useful when I discovered the issue myself.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drm5:
In 2.2.1, it's a known issue that battery will jump from 100%->98% almost immediately after being unplugged. According to the kernel gods, and if I understand correctly, it's entirely cosmetic, and is just a change in Samsung's reporting functions. So long as it doesn't continue dropping at that rate, I think you're fine. ;)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eugenethenderson:
Thanks for the info.
[Vibrant General] HotShotAzn:
Let me preface this post by saying it is not about what phone is better or that you hate Samsung blah blah blah.

The fact is, I have the opportunity to trade my Vibrant for a Nexus S with no money out of pocket. I have to do this within a week or two, otherwise I'd wait for a dual core or the PSPhone.

The best phone available (in my opinion) is the Nexus S because it's a legacy phone for Google, which means it'll be privy to new OS releases.

That said, would you do it? Yes, no, why?
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
Yes, if ur looking for updates.

Else stay with vibrant because of the sd memory
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
yes. how did you get a deal like that?
[Vibrant General] michaelg117:
Personally I love my vibrant. Hmmm...but if I had some experience with the s I might. Just because of the upgrades but why do that when we have all of these roms?
[Vibrant General] benifactor:
I would trade a g2 and my vibrant for a brand new nexus s :-)
[Vibrant General] HotShotAzn:
I'm adding a family line for a family member. She doesn't care what phone she gets so I figure:

1) Active Nexus S for her for $218 (with tax) + activation fee

2) Buy a cheapo prepaid or craigslist phone $50 ish

3) Sell Vibrant on craigslist/fleabay for $300 - $325 ish

4) Use the difference to buy a 6 pack of Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA

Even if I have to spend a little money out of pocket, I am thinking this is still a good idea.
[Vibrant General] HotShotAzn:
I originally used the lack of SD as the reason I didn't want a Nexus S. Then I really looked at how much memory I was using. Only 12GB of the 16GB on the Vibrant's internal. And I don't even watch movies or listen to the music that is on there (ended up getting a rooted Nook Color for that).
[Vibrant General] emonero:
Are you under contract with the vibrant? If so then then you got a prblem...you are going to have a full data for that cheapo prepaid :rolleyes:
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
It's worth it just for the beer. I had a few of those this weekend... didn't realize it was 9% until I had downed three in a row.
[Vibrant General] HotShotAzn:
Um, what?

Why does it matter if I'm under contract?

I'm activating a legit 5th line on my account for the Nexus S. Then I'm taking my sim card and putting it in the Nexus S. I'll take the sim card associated to the Nexus S and put it in the cheapo prepaid.

Then I'll go online, let mytmobile detect my current phones, and remove the data plan from my 5th line.

The NS has zero rebates. I only have to activate it with a data plan. No where in the T&C does it say I need to keep the data plan for X amount of time.
[Vibrant General] quadratic:
I believe they changed that and you'll get hit with an ETF if you drop the data plan before your contract period is up.

edit: Here's the relevant bit from the current T&C: "Some Devices require maintaining certain features or Services (e.g. a data plan) as part of your Rate Plan, and cancelling them before the end of your Term will result in an Early Termination Fee."
[Vibrant General] emonero:
in order for the NS to cost $200 you have to get a data plan with it....unless you are not under contract on the vibrant then you can swap plan...
[Vibrant General] TJBunch1228:
I'd sign up for whatever plan gets you 9% IPA. 2 year contract no problem there.:D:D:D
[Vibrant General] HotShotAzn:
Does Best Buy charge a secondary ETF? Normally third party resellers only add the ETF if you cancel, not if you change plans. I've done this plan a few times (hence 4 lines on my account).

If I wasn't under contract with the Vibrant, I could just do an upgrade on my line.

I talked to a BB rep via chat. He said I just need to keep the data plan on the line as long as the phone is on that same line. Well, technically that line wouldn't have the Nexus S on it any more....
[Vibrant General] HotShotAzn:
OK, you all got me paranoid so I googled this question.

Best Buy does NOT have a secondary ETF.

I know they've withheld rebates because users have changed features on their plans that are required to get the rebate, but the NS is $200 outright.
[Vibrant General] VICosPhi:
Keep in mind Nexus S does not do 720P, that's the sole reason I haven't purchased it. Per Supercurio its a hardware limitation of the SoC
[Vibrant General] coolairG1:
YES! If it's me. I would trade it.

I totally agree with you. Storage memory is not an issue with me.

I had the Nexus S for 4 weeks last month, and boy, I really loved it. I love Gingerbread for it is very fast and very snappy. I love the curve glass screen, it's beautiful. The touch screen is very responsive. I got stronger signal with the Nexus S compare to with my Vibrant. Even though, it's only 3G, but surfing the web is very fast. Pictures load up real fast in Facebook, video clips load up real fast in Youtube. GPS and navigation is very accurate. Battery life is about 6 hrs of moderate use. I have no complaint for it except one bug, it's intermittently reboot itself during active calls. This has been fixed by Google, thought.

I bought it without contract with the intension to re-sell my Vibrant. But now my Vibrant is rooted with stable, working ROM thanks to Master. I decided to return it because I'm stuck with the Vibrant being on a 2-year contract; and because I also wanted to wait for the new, incoming phones with dual-core and 4G, etc .... But if I have the opportunity to trade my Vibrant for a Nexus S evenly, I absolutely would do so right away.
[Vibrant General] quadratic:
I'm not talking about a secondary ETF, I'm talking about T-Mobile themselves. When Best Buy activate that line with T-Mobile, you're agreeing to keep data on the line per the terms of the T-Mobile T&C.

From what I remember, that requirement stays on the line regardless of what phone you change it to later on.
[Vibrant General] Emama:
Absolutely YES
[Vibrant General] glundberg:
I would trade my vibrant and a nexus s for some Dogfish Head raison d'etre. Wait. Is it too late to change the topic of this thread..?
[Vibrant General] Tommyboy2k:
Hard to say I hadn't played with nexus s but I've bricked my vibrant twice and she is still new for the third time so just with that alone I'm staying put with my vibrant!
[Vibrant General] ipeench:
no. no sd card means limited space. sucks. PSPhone seems pretty cool i would wait for that if thats what you want to do...

I'm sticking it out with the vibrant i have grown pretty attached to it. I have always gown attached to my phones but I really think this one will be hard for me to get ride of unlike the g1 that I honestly took my sim card/sd card out and threw it out the window on my truck window going 90 mph... then went to the closest tmobile and got the vibrant... no joke.. i really did...
[Vibrant General] Yaz75:
I guess I was stupid. I got $100 selling my old G1 on Craigslist and put that in my pocket instead.
[Vibrant General] Yaz75:
BTW, I looked into doing this when I added a line for my daughter as well.

And yes, if you try to cancel the data plan after getting the spendy phone that requires it, they will pop you for the ETF.

What, you think that guys like us are the only ones who thought about this?
[Vibrant General] HotShotAzn:
From what I've researched and read, I have not found a single case where this actually happened. Not saying you are wrong, but no one has posted saying TMobile came back with an ETF. TMobile reps and BB reps like to say that we could be hit with an ETF, but they want you to keep the data on there.

Think about it this way, if I had the NS and it got stolen/broken/lost after three months and I did not have insurance and I decided to replace it with a non-smartphone, would TMobile just cancel my contract? Would they force me to keep data even though I had a non data compatible phone?

Worst comes to worst, I'll add $10 data for a month or two.
[Vibrant General] HotShotAzn:
I've only had that off the tap. That's some yummy beer.
[Vibrant General] DanK Ups:
Good plan swap that for a sixer of Bell's Hopslam and I'll give you a +2
[Vibrant General] ipeench:
hahahaha true true.. but the satisfaction I got watching it explode against the ground... i have spent 100 bucks on stupider things.
[Vibrant General] Yaz75:
Ok, let me put it this way:

If you're T-Mobile, are you going to keep giving away $500 smartphones for $200 just so people can cancel the data package and lose the whole point of subsidizing it in the first place? Like they're NOT aware that dudes will try this just so they can sell them on Craigslist for an easy $100-150 profit?
[Vibrant General] DMaverick50:
Both nice phones, I'd give up my vibrants memory, 720p, and touchwiz for the nexus's working gps no question. Samsung really sucks for making that an issue
[Vibrant General] VICosPhi:
Nexus S has a better GPS than Vibrant but it still has something going on with it. See this video

[Vibrant General] da_dragon2k3:
Sorry bud, but you couldnt be more wrong. They will hit you up with that etf. I have worked for tmo in the past and 2 of my close buddies are managers at outlets. BB will tell you what you want to hear to make that sale.
[Vibrant General] HotShotAzn:
I know everyone has an input on whether my plan will work, however, this thread isn't about that. I too have worked in the cell industry and understand the point(s) everyone is trying to make. Either way, this isn't the place to do it as the intent of the thread wasn't to ask your opinion about my plan.
[Vibrant General] mrsbelpit:
Well, your thread title says for "free". Not going to happen. They will hit you with the ETF if you get a subsidized phone and cancel the contract. So yeah, this is relevant to the thread. I think it's 250-275 for the etf.
[Vibrant General] meng8833:
I've always hated my vibrant until i discovered XDA. with all these roms available to us I dont see why I would go to a nexus S.
[Vibrant General] bartek25:
hey is camera flash on nexus and trade off for external sd since vibrant got replacable ext sd card but no camera flash and vice versa and that means if they both would be put on the phone it would be way to thick that already is ?
[Vibrant General] :
Yes, they will.

Depending on your t-mo history they may forgive and make an exception, but the contract you signed says you have to pay the monthly data plan for the 24 months.
[Vibrant General] samnada:
Almost wish you hadn't posted that video link. Really shows how good GPS can and should be on a phone, and how f'd the Vibrant is even at it's best. Can't wait for a better TMO alternative.
[Vibrant General] HotShotAzn:
No offense but I'm a little sick of people lecturing me about this and that. You have your opinion, I have mine. I'm asking you, politely, to butt out of this thread as the whole point is to discuss if you would trade phones (which I am essentially doing). If you are mad or jealous that I can/will do this, than I'm sorry, but don't take it out on me.

For the record, this isn't the first time I'll be doing it. I don't care that you are/were a TMo rep, you know a TMo rep, or whatever. It has worked for me and I have yet to find a real case where a carrier has charged the user an ETF for removing a feature. Like I said, worse case scenario, I'll add the $10 data. It's not like TMobile will arbitrarily cancel my line without talking to me.

And yes, I am doing this. I already ordered the phone as my local BB is not under contract to third party activate TMobile phones. I'll keep the Vibrant and just decide for myself which one I like better.

Everyone else: thanks for your input. GPS isn't a big deal for me but I can see how it is for others.
[Vibrant General] doctordunk:
I would strongly consider it. No HD video and no sd card slot would make me hesitate but I would probably end up doing it.
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
wow. i hope you like the nexus s. if only i can have that deal also. i wouldn't think about it. i will get it, no questions asked.
[Vibrant General] HotShotAzn:
I used to change phones like socks. Literally. I figure if I don't like the NS, I'll get a different phone. The beauty of syncing everything in the cloud is there is little "downtime" to set up another phone.
[Vibrant General] KeithRVA:
I would not trade my Vibrant for a Nexus S for a couple of reasons. NS is slightly thicker and I love how thin my Vibrant feels in the pocket. The NS has the 3.5mm headphone jack on the bottom, I plug my Vibrant's headphone jack into my car stereo with the phone sitting in the cupholder, and I can charge it that way too. That wouldn't work with the NS. I have a 32gb sd card!! Absolutely unthinkable that the latest, greatest, Nexus phone has no sd card expansion for all of my stuff. The NS does have the sweet ffc, nfc chip, latest os, and camera flash...but the Vibrant shares the important stuff like Super Amoled and 1ghz processor. So no, I wouldn't ditch my Vibrant for the NS, but it would be pretty tempting.
[Vibrant General] Blown 89:
It's tempting but I wouldn't. I use the external SD and 720 too much to ditch it.
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
Call T-Mo and if they try to charge you an ETF, decline and then keep calling back until you get a Rep who will do it for free.
[Vibrant General] Yaz75:
You posted your little scheme in this thread. People responded to what you wrote. Now you want to get pissy because you're feeling picked on and folks aren't patting you on the back to tell you how clever you are? Screw that.

Then next time you're going to pull an underhanded maneuver by lying/scheming/tricking a carrier, you should just keep that to yourself.
[Vibrant General] HotShotAzn:
Um no, I don't feel like I'm being picked on and no, I don't give two sh!ts if people think I'm clever, so stop patronizing me.

Someone asked how I was doing it, and I told them. End of story. Take your thread crap else where. Seriously. I'm going to be an adult about this. Are you?
[Vibrant General] Yaz75:
Of course. Although I would add that honest adults don't try to scam a premium phone and then brag about it on the internet.
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
What is the scam? T-Mo is often very lenient about stuff like this, especially with long-time subscribers.
[Vibrant General] quadratic:
There's nothing scammy about it if he follows the rules. If T-Mobile choose not to enforce their rules, that's their prerogative.
[Vibrant General] Yaz75:
You're right. He's not mis-representing his intentions at all. And taking those losses won't get passed on to any of us either. My bad.

I guess I'm in the minority here. Just because you CAN get away with a thing doesn't mean you SHOULD try and get away with a thing. I can't in good conscience pull that kind of crap, but that's just how I was raised.

Carry on.
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
It's T-Mo's prerogative--what is your problem? People get little perks all the time from their carriers. I've had fees waived, extra minutes awarded, etc. Should I feel bad because those losses "got passed on"?

Honestly, if he's a long-time customer there's probably a good chance they'll waive the ETF because they'd rather do that than risk losing two lines if he walks. There's nothing dishonest about accepting that.
[Vibrant General] jimmynguyen91:
I think you have to keep the data plan on the phone for at least a year, not the entire two year term of your contract. Also you can upgrade with T-Mobile 22 months after your contract started, so you don't have to wait the entire 24 months!

I would trade the Vibrant for the Nexus S if I had the chance, just to have the latest Google phone :P
[Vibrant General] phoboye:
Just wanted to put in my two cents. I was considering doing the whole thing and canceling the data plan afterwards. I spoke with various reps from tmobile as well as BB. Apparently tmobile is the only carrier which now actually considers that data plan as part of the contract will come with an ETF. Other carriers such as at&t, will remove the data plan if a smart phone is no longer registered with that line. With that being said, yes I would trade the vibrant for a nexus s, primarily due to the depreciation of the vibrant with its successor's release. If you are someone like me who likes to switch phones every few months, then you should go for the phone with higher resale value if possible. However, if you are stuck with a $10 data plan for a line that will hardly use it, you'll actually end up paying between $120-240 for the data plan over the course of the plan. So therefore your phone isn't really free. My suggestion is to use your personal line to upgrade to the nexus, otherwise wait for an early upgrade for the newer phones. 18 months into contract qualifies for early upgrade.
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
(to the OP) How long have you been with T-Mo? If it's been like two years, call them and ask for the loyalty department. Chances are they'll throw you a deal before charging you ETF--heck, you're *adding* a line.
