Love the uncanny high horse ridding in this thread! XD

Back to topic, has anyone done the who stock dk28 EXT4? Guy above me said try the kernel?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] musclehead84:
Your *****ing bout what we said. Where is your answer to his question.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SINNN:
Hi hoooo silver!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiGi760:
I haven't done it with stock dk28, but when the ext4 conversion first came out over here, I was flashing all kinds of different roms followed by the ext4 kernel so that I could play with them on ext4. Any of the current DK28 based roms should be able to use the ext4 kernel.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babyschmoof:
Is there a clockwork3 in an update.zip? When I do it manually, the screen locks on the Samsung screen.

I used oden with d18 and d28. Also do the CM7 nightlies work as well as they do on the evo!

Thanks so much.

[Galaxy Tab General] Vintage144:
Im curious on the Galaxy Tab do you have to have a cell phone contract? or can it be used strictly through wifi access , I dont really need a giant phone , I already have Samsung Focus , but I would like to try out this tablet !
[Galaxy Tab General] quattr0:
It doesn't look like you live in the US as we could get tablet without contract from various providers. I would imagine it's the same in Canada. You might have to pay higher than the contracted's price.

To verify, the tablet works in both mode: 3G or Wifi.

Your question probably meant to be: Why Samsung doesn't release a Wifi only version so I don't have to pay extra for it? All current NA tablets have both Wifi & 3G and at least in US you do not have to have a cell phone contract to use the device.
[Galaxy Tab General] Vintage144:
Cool , well I was just wondering as I have frequent stays in the US! I was just wondering, because it sounds like the cell companies are the ones selling these devices , I know you can get them at Best Buy, but can I just buy one off the shelf and not be associated with Verizon/tmobile/sprint/att, because that would be a big hit for me, wifi goes along way , I dont really care about 3g , but wifi can use damn near anywhere (free)!

I like the design as well, I also like the fact that the rom can be changed out, I would be curious if ,gingerbread worked on it as well , or even wp7 ? I am on list for the beta Chrome OS tab , wish that would come so I can see how it looks!
[Galaxy Tab General] quattr0:
Iiwy i would wait. Galaxy2 is comming out soon. Also be careful w which tab u will buy in us as they are carrier specific. Only at&t & tmob tabs are customized friendly (replacable rom)
[Galaxy Tab General] bluemonde:
wifi with tether With no contract
[Captivate General] bfett18:
Just a quick question for all the super users out here. I currently have a captivate that is rooted and sideloading enabled. Due to speaker issues it is being replaced after rooting my new phone ( from ATT ) what would happen if I copied my current settings.db file over to the new phone? Would this cause issues? I know I could just redo the sideloading part but I am curious.
[Captivate General] newter55:
Assuming you are going to be running the same setup you should be fine.
[Captivate General] xviiivx:
I own an Evo, so I don't know much about these.. but can anyone confirm if this would work?

1. make nandroid backup of old phone

2. root new phone

3. install clockwork recovery on new phone

4. make nandroid backup of new phone

5. restore nandroid backup from old phone

I know this works on an Evo, but on the Evo you have to use amen ra recovery so you don't restore your old 4g RSA keys. Does the Captivate have any device specific files that cannot be transferred between phones? If not, I don't see why this wouldn't work.
[Captivate General] d054:
i dont know if it causes trouble but i have 2 phones and the setting file is different on each one so it might have some problems if the wrong thi ng is change

You just join in mobilegamesarena or mobile24 or mobile9 and browse 320x240 java game and play it in your phone :)
[Vibrant General] drcrappants:
Well first this requires a 'top tier' definition. Tier 1 would be the absolute best with your own cut-off point. Tier 2 and 3...so on. I assume the iphone4g belongs in the top tier.

List your first 1-3 tiers, and where would you place the Vibrant? I'm still learning more about various phones, but I'd throw a bone out there and say it belongs in tier2 or tier3.

Found this nifty site giving a review of the top10 phones. Here they list Vibrant as 10.

http://cell-phones.toptenreviews.com/smartphones/
[Vibrant General] oka1:
The Galaxy Class phone (Vibrant) is a tier 1 phone
[Vibrant General] hazard99:
we talking what generation of phones.

as far as iphone hardware its a top teir phone that will see be outdated by the release of the atrix.

as far as what is out now Id have to say

The desire hd

sgs

evo/droid x

window phone 7

Hd7

samsung focus

I only brought up window because the op brought up the iphone
[Vibrant General] XPLANE9:
1. international galaxy s

2. samsung vibrant or nexus s

3. epic 4g

4. desire hd
[Vibrant General] drcrappants:
i didnt realize there was a difference between international galaxy S and vibrant? also surprised that iphone isnt ranked near the top of current phones (as the public perceives it to be)
[Vibrant General] bartek25:
there is no difference besides support they get ::P
[Vibrant General] hazard99:
The iphone doesnt get respect because its a phone for people who need rules! most of us have android phones for a reason.

Is it really that big of a suprise
[Vibrant General] bartek25:
nexus would be 1st if it had external sd card until that its as usles as iphony
[Vibrant General] bartek25:
i got a vibrant cause tmo told me its the best fastest thing out ;pand i need it a phone
[Vibrant General] eunkipark92:
Letz not forget that iphone 16gb costs 400-500on craig and vibrant costs only 200-300 on craig..well at least in my area :p
[Vibrant General] bartek25:
my bad lol
[Vibrant General] hazard99:
iphone gpu PowerVR SGX 535

galaxy s gp PowerVR SGX540
[Vibrant General] bartek25:
android 2.2 = ............

ios = +
[Vibrant General] bartek25:
drivers and file system cripling vibrants capabilities

gps...shhh
[Vibrant General] hazard99:
So bartek you like the iphone? I mean It seems like you are suggesting that you do.
[Vibrant General] jmollabi:
1-htc evo

2-nexus one

3-nokia 3390
[Vibrant General] bartek25:
by all means i hate iphone its just too easy for me to operate ,

hardware wise

numer one phone would be VIBRANT because it has external sd i bet we could play ps3 games if the drivers were updated for our gpus

nexus s as its the fastest but no sd ...no thanks

iphone just because its white and cool :P

but
[Vibrant General] anthonys2r:
I would rank the I9000 in front of the Vibrant (better support + the FCC)
[Vibrant General] bartek25:
def vibrant is top notch when it comes to hardware it runnning, not so for plastic parts is made out off so i would give it 85 out of 100 that makes it number ........ on the list
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
iphone is number 1, its a fact, you can't deny it. even if ur in love with android and wanna marry it. iphone has maintained its #1 because iOS is organized, much more than android. It sticked with 1 carrier till it got so popular everyone wanted it, now when switching to the 2nd best carrier (verizon) they will get even more sales. Galaxy S DOES come up in the top 5, but is NOT 1 nor 2.

As far a popularity...

1 iphone

2 droid's x, pro etc.

3 evo

4 MAYBE galaxy s
[Vibrant General] hazard99:
Iphone is number 1 based on "regular consumer buys" Among geeks It is not the top phone.

We arent your average buyers. We are the minority. Yes Ios is very organised and well maintained. But I will take freedom over complete control any day.

People are also sheeps they buy what others say is popular kinda like clothing.

I mean ripped shirts from ed hardy cost an arm and a leg. You could buy any old t-shirt and rip it and it would look about the same.

One of the guys I work with stated he wanted an iphone till he actually was shown other phones and what they can do.

Btw Not everyone finds using an iphone easy. I've seen many people ask for a iphone for dummies book.

Thats like having a dummies book for cat in the hat books.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
Well, duh?

Do you expect normal consumers to just go "hmm.. i want a iphone!"

no.

they learn from advertisements all about the retina display.

they learn from others with iphones.

iphone is THE standard.

not hardware-wise but look at it this way.

they have dungeon defenders, so do we.

we have 1 ghz, and i believe they have 800.

their game runs smoothhhhhhhh

ours is laggy as hell, for most. even if not that laggy a bit is always there.
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
Pretty much.

No they don't. They see a hip commercial where all the cool kids carry iPhones and their best friend Betty just got one.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FL7yD-0pqZg

(Why is this art? Because it speaks to an essential truth.)
[Vibrant General] hazard99:
Most people have no clue wtf retina display even means. I talk to these types of people all day at work.

As far as the game running smooth that isnt hardware so much as software.

So my question to you is why do you use android?

because personally I left iphone for android.
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
To be fair though, pretty much all smartphone buyers are like this, not just the iPhone users. How many people who actually buy smartphones are into the actual tech itself or care about messing with their software? A very very small number.

Out of my group of friends, I'm the only one who has ever rooted or jailbroken a phone. No one I know has ever considered flashing a different ROM. I don't think my wife has changed anything on her Droid's homescreen since the day I set it up. My iPhone-owning friends had never heard the term "jailbreak" as it pertains to their phones. One of my buddies just gets a new Blackberry whenever a new one comes out.

I'm not going to go as far as calling these people sheep--they just don't care about this stuff like we do. Instead of spending hours looking at tech specs and video reviews to find the phone they want, they just go to the store or buy what their friends buy. We all do this with some things in our lives, and most people happen to buy their phones this way.
[Vibrant General] hazard99:
Yeah you're right. Btw i know realize that sheep sorta sounds offensive. Its just I meet so many people who buy based on word of mouth. I had one lady hardcore wanting to buy a amd laptop cause someone told her intel was unstable.
[Vibrant General] shreddintyres:
I couldnt have said it better my self. Personally the Vibrant is my first smart phone, I love it. I chose it over all the others because of what it offered by its tech spec's. It was only after my phone refused to receive the JI6 update that I rooted my phone and started messing with it. If my phone had updated normally and received more timely updates i never would have rooted and started messing with it. Personally I do feel that the vibrant and us galaxy s line are phenomenal phones and are amongst the upper tier of phones. However the lack of support from the manufacturer and the us carriers hold it back quite a bit. In terms of modding options and what not the galaxy s is amongst the best. They are practically unbrickable. I do feel that i will probably move to an HTC phone with a tegra 2 proc as soon as I am able, but the vibrant will now be my personal standard when it comes to smart phones.
[Vibrant General] blasian shadows:
i hate that.

[Vibrant General] blasian shadows:
the vibrant has a gyro scope aswell
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
then their obviously dumb or something, there were like 6 commercials out of the iphone 4 which always said "RETINA DISPLAY" "you can see better!" im sure if they say both those quotes then they know what it means.

I use android, because i prefer it, and yes i left iphone for android as well.

I don't favor any side, but iphone is and from what it looks like currently, will always be the standard, for tech's or not.
[Vibrant General] danow11:
one of my friends got the iphone 4 when it came out. He could'nt stop talking about it when he got it cause it had hd video, and an ffc so he could do video calls or whatever you call it.

I started reading up, and a lot of phones could make hd videos, and you can only do video calls with other iphones, and you both had to be connected to wifi. so i was not too impressed.

shortly thereafter i got the vibrant, and i love it. The support from samsung has definitely been sub-par this far imo, but its a great device, and the developers are just ridiculous awesome.

and i guess one of the main things i think about his that apple has their employed people who write software for their phones 47k employees, and a fraction of that develop software.

open source = however many people in the world want to develop

so at this point in time obviously the numbers say apple is more popular, but imo their days are numbered.
[Vibrant General] joe.kerwin:
I don't find this credible. If anything wouldn't our phone be the worst for galaxy s phones? No ffc or flash. So why did ours get ranked over the epic and fascinate? Everything else would be equal.
[Vibrant General] qreffie:
I'd say it belongs in the top tier. It does lack support but the hummingbird is a great processor with a gpu that can't be matched by anything else out right now. Personally I'd rate my Nexus higher due to the direct support from Google ffc and camera flash. Even though it lacks removable storage I've never run into an issue with storage on it - however I admit it's a big negative.

There's no way I could ever rank an iPhone at the top of any list considering lack of flash support (have you seen the internet Steve Jobs?) no true multi-tasking, no widgets, and that they will actually try to brick jailbreakers.
[Vibrant General] Settai:
No question... the vibrant is at the top hardware wise. Only phones I'd put over it is the Epic, Evo, MT4G, and International SGS.
[Vibrant General] sLiKK:
I agree on the fact that majority of people dont even know what the heck is root and flashing roms. I have a couple of people who own vibrant. They hate this phone just because its laggy and freezes up. But they dont wanna take the time to learn about rooting their phones or modifying it. When I mentioned root infront of them, they said they wanna simplify their life not complicate it. They said they dont have the time and energy to invest in these kind of things. I can see where they are coming from. This is one of the main reasons iPhone is such a success. its simple, organized and outright easy for a layman to operate. You can compare dropbox with iphone. There are other online storage websites that offer more free space and features than dropbox... but why dropbox is the coolest online storage website/app? because its simple, easy to use. People like you and I who take the time and want to customize their phone love Android but we are still in minority. People have so many other problems in life they want everything to be simplified for them.

Someone in this thread said they rooted only because tmobile was behind in the updating process. same goes for me... if tmobile/samsung were on time with the updates, I wouldn't have gathered the courage to root and flash a custom rom. But now that I have rooted... I cant imagine using a phone without rooting and flashing a custom ROM. That being said, I have believed from the get go that Vibrant is an high end tier 1 phone with great hardware. Tmobile has failed to do an impressive campaign for its phones. I can't believe there have been very few commercials on tv for its vibrant. God bless the devs on XDA, we are enjoying the true potential of vibrant.
[Vibrant General] hazard99:
If I was on sprint I probably would pick the epic.

My ex is getting ready to buy another phone. She currently has the palm pre and loves physical keyboards. Her current choices are 1. Evo shift 2 Epic.

Before watching a movie this weekend We stopped into the sprint so because she hadnt had a chance to check out the shift. She picked up the shift placed it next to the evo and shook her head. she then placed it next to the epic. Oh yes this is my next phone she said!

I Knew she would like the epic!!! its an awesome phone! We have to remember not everyone can hop carriers at will.
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
They're all more or less equal, apart from certain features. If I took a lot of pictures with my phone, the flash might be most valuable; however, I use my phone more as an ipod replacement, so the 16gb internal storage won me over.

Personally, I think the Vibrant is the best Android media phone out right now: the most storage, plays nearly every codec, and has an awesome DAC/op-amp. Even my BT audio is really clear.
[Vibrant General] jmollabi:
oh wow you can copy the specs of the vibrant..but can u copy the updates on my gingerbreaded evo..i dont think so
[Vibrant General] XPLANE9:
Troll, TRoll, TROll, TROLl, TROLL!
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
With, what, 3 out of 5 stars for media?

It is the only phone on that entire list that plays MKV, and about a dozen other codes. The rest only support mp4 and *maybe* avi's.

I smells me some BS.
[Vibrant General] checktheemails:
Let me say that before I got my vibrant, I was looking for a really nice smartphone to come out that would rival the current iphone. I suppose from the start I was not looking for the iphone because I'm on a family plan on t-mobile so I was stuck there anyway.

I bought the vibrant because I didn't mind being stuck with t-mobile for another 2 years and at the time it had hardware that rivaled the iphone4 outside of the FFC.

the biggest thing? the amoled screen sold me, especially since i believe it's a better screen than the iphone 4.

Also, I have never liked apple's tight grip on everything that it touches. In fact, I abhor that. It doesn't help my bias that I sold tmobile phones a few years ago, so I have always leaned towards (custom built PC's, customizing my ****, DIY) so naturally I leaned to android, the best option besides apple.

I am really happy with my phone so far, looking to install a FFC pretty soon then I'll be ****in stoked about my vibrant, which I've owned for about 7 months now.
[Vibrant General] blasian shadows:
with the ffc mod youll love the vibrant even more. the galaxy s line is ahead of its time, i like the fact that the vibrant has 16 gigs internal storage.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
Guess the lg dual core phone out belongs in the year 2500?

This phone is not ahead of its time.

Dont be stupid
[Vibrant General] tweak89:
No. It does not belong in the top tier of phones. Why? IMO, a phone should work, and work well OUT OF THE BOX. You shouldn't have to root, bend prongs, install cameras in order to make the phone what it should/could have been.

Raw power and a pretty screen (which Is the only part of that phone I miss) do not a top tier phone make.

Samsung really dropped the ball on a phone that SHOULD be dominating sales. I think they made a huge mistake customizing the phone for each carrier.

Instead of a truly unified platform, they now have to support the Vibrant, Vibrant4G, Epic4G, Fascinate, Captivate and Nexus S. Why????

If the question was something like it the Vibrant a top tier phone for geeks who like to tweak their phones into oblivion? Then yes, it's #1, because it has to be :p
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
The last part; g2 or nexus one and s would beat us at that yoo
