[HTC Inspire 4G] cmstlist:
If anyone is brave enough to teardown an Inspire 4G, they could also compare to the DHD teardown:

http://forum.frandroid.com/topic/40711-demontage-desire-hd-tombe-dans-leau/

And confirm if anything looks greatly different.

Seeing as the Telus Desire HD will be on the same frequencies and was announced the same day as AT&T's version, I would be very surprised if there were any hardware differences at all between that and the Inspire 4G. The Telus/Bell network is HSPA+ capable (as evidenced by Bell's Desire Z launch) so I can't see any reason Telus would intentionally ask HTC to send them a version with such a feature stripped out.
[HTC Inspire 4G] galfert:
If it turns out to be able hackable via the exact same way as the Desire HD and it can run the same unmodified ROMS then perhaps this entire forum section for the Inspire 4G is pointless. In which case it might be better to get rid of the Inspire 4G section or rather merge it and rename the Desire HD to "Desire HD / Inspire 4G"
[HTC Inspire 4G] FLAC Vest:
@r_3 You're going from the Captivate? Is the gps and .3in'' bigger screen worth it? Im not triking to say anything; I have the captivate as well and just wondering about your feelings on it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cappyandroid:
I have one too, and yes.

It's not just GPS and a bigger screen.

I don't know about you, but I'm STILL waiting for the Sense ROM to get stable for Captivate and I don't think it's coming anytime soon. Inspire is.

Plus the better camera and flash.

Plus the more premium-feeling aluminum case.

Plus, again--HTC.

I would switch in a heartbeat considering warranty has to give you a phone due to ATT not holding Captivate [refurb] anymore.
[HTC Inspire 4G] romeo0119:
Captivate, Galaxy, Vibrant, whatever the hell they call that phone these day, it sux donkey's balls. The GPS is garbage, the phone feels like garbage in ur hands, samsung software update is garbage. Stick w HTC, even if they dont give out official updates, we will always be up to date due to how much devs here on xda are supporting HTC products, HTC sense beats samsung, motorola and lg all day.
[HTC Inspire 4G] TechTony13:
I know I am doing my best to justify changing phones form the Captivate, mostly because of the similarity to the DHD and the fact that it is an HTC phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] r_3:
Its working gps. Supported phone from the manufacturer. Flash for the camera. Etc that have me leaving my captivate. SAMSUNG really rubbed me the wrong way and a lot of other people as well with their lack of communication and support for their customers. They are more interested in developing new phones and forgetting about their existing customer base and keeping them as loyal customers.

HTC is a phone company that I have used in the past and have been extremely happy with them. I will never buy another SAMSUNG phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] laxwillsch:
I think you guys have talked me into it. When I night the captivate I was happy with it for a little until I hit the common problems (gps, updates, lack of real asop devs). I have really wanted to get an htc but I don't want to lose the great display. Do you guys think the inspire will have a better screen than the evo? My buddy has one and the display is lacking big time.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cmstlist:
Does your buddy have the AMOLED or SLCD Evo?

The AMOLED is comparable to the Nexus One screen which is brilliant in some light and rather dim in others. The SLCD has a more even appearance to it, and is comparable to the Desire HD screen. Possibly still not as bright as the Samsung super AMOLED but you'd have to decide for yourself.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Rhiven:
Is this true for all ATT stores? I'd love to be able to go in and get an Inspire 4g but since I bought the Captivate on day 1 I am not eligible for an upgrade yet. I'm fed up with the nonfunctional GPS in the Captivate.
[HTC Inspire 4G] laxwillsch:
+1 I think what he was saying is that if you go in to get a new phone from warranty they would be forced to give you an inspire?? If this is indeed true I believe everyone in the right mind would be switching out their cappy for a new inspire. I just can't see ATT actually doing this. I mean they totally should it has been like 6 months and my GPS is still as f*@KE# as it was in the beginning. I have tried every hack mod fix and rom out there and no matter what it doesnt hold a candle to my gf's iphone 4. F@CK SAMSUNG AND THEIR UNWILLINGNESS TO HELP PREVIOUS CUSTOMERS.
[HTC Inspire 4G] r_3:
call customer service. They gave me an early upgrade from my captivate.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Rhiven:
Did they waive the $200 early upgrade fee?
[HTC Inspire 4G] r_3:
Yes. I am paying $100 for the phone and $18 activation *which I plan to get waived as well*
[HTC Inspire 4G] darkbluexplorer:
Hey.. question.. does this phone have speaker phone.. AT&T cant confirm it! LOL
[HTC Inspire 4G] cmstlist:
Yes, as do most if not all Androids.

i have a Dell Streak with Official 2.2 froyo, and i wanna install a Rom 1.6 by Dj Steve

i haven't understand something, and i have some question

1) I read that I download and replace the baseband in the baseband of 1.5 before flashing the 1.6 ... but how do I replace it?

2) the ROM 1.6 (dj steve) is compatible with the Rebel Sim or I have to make some changes to make it compatible? if so, what change?

I apologize, but I am a beginner with the Dell Streak

[Vibrant General] BorisZX6R:
I have had the vibrant for a couple of months now, and I must say I am very dissapointed.

I had the chance to try my friends' evo and another friends mytouch 4g and I must say these phones are about 10 times better rhan the vibrant...

No lag, gps works amazingly fast and accurate 9.8 ft accurancy indoors on the evo with 8 sats locked. These phones just work right out of the box. The vibrant is a hyped up phone with very little usability because most times I need something really quick the phone decides to crawl and doesn't respond. Build quality is also better on the mentioned phones. Even my other friends htc aria performs faster and better in every aspect and that on 2.1...

Hopefully someone will solve these issues at some point cause it seems to me it is all software related cause on the spec sheet the vibrant looks to be a great device but in real life it is just a lot of frustration...

This is definitely my last Samsung phone and as soon as I get my hands on a used mytouch 4g I will gladly get rid of the vibrant.
[Vibrant General] hazard99:
Just root it go crazy oh baby oh baby .
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Root it

Flash voodoo kernel/custom rom

quit whining.
[Vibrant General] XPLANE9:
You don't like your Vibrant, great. Leave the forum and stop complaining about it. You can sell it, smash it, trade it, whatever. We don't care. The majority of us are happy with the Vibrant.
[Vibrant General] hazard99:
Now lets be nice. We havent a reason to be rude. He is unhappy and has a right to be. We dont have to respond to the thread.

I am for one happy with my phone. Gps works! awesome software by teamwhiskey!

Great glasstopia them by mwbehr. Fantastic kernel by the man himself eugene373.

I already learned I dont need samsungs support. Maybe we can help him learn that also.
[Vibrant General] BorisZX6R:
Well what a friendly community this is...

I felt like venting because using this phone is frustrating. I posted in the general section so if that was wrong let the mods take care of it but don't act like an idiot.

My vibrant is rooted and on official ka6. Rooting has nothing to do with the performance of the device.

Besides a phone should work the right way out of the box without any modification. If you say you are happy then good for you, but you might want to try using other phones and you will clearly see the difference...
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
I didnt mean to come off rude, I was giving you the solution man.

I have MANY phones. Rooting doesnt help the performance... but apps that need root access do. And yes, voodoo (converting the file system to EXT 4) WILL fix your complaint.
[Vibrant General] BorisZX6R:
Hazzard99 thank you for the reply. You are absolutely right and that is why I said it must all be software related since the hardware seems like it is supposed to beat pretty much any device out there.

I am fine with rooting and I did it, I just do not feel comfortable to flash any custom firmware yet...

I am more frustrated with samsung than anything else. I think android is the future definitely and it is growing daily... but Samsung lost me as a customer, that is for sure.
[Vibrant General] TJBunch1228:
I'm sorry, aren't a ton of the threads in this forum dedicated to people's complaints with sammy/tmo/vibrant? Not a whole lot of us are satisfied with the Vibrant stock. Maybe we can educate him just how simple it is to root this device and put it's fantastic hardware to use.

Can you imagine what we'd miss out on if Sombionix or Eugene were basically told to piss off when they first picked up an Android phone and wanted it to do more?

Cut the guy some slack is all I'm sayin.
[Vibrant General] BorisZX6R:
Tjbunch1228 thanks for your understanding.

I will be flashing a custom rom and kernel but I think before that I will do a little more reading. I grasp the basics but I still require a bit more education before I proceed and this forum has plenty of step by step guides on how to do it, I just felt the need to bash Samsung. I wish I could do more so that Samsung actually hears my and many other peoples complaints.
[Vibrant General] Nowaysout:
I understand that the stock version of the phone is truly laggy, and the gps is not that great. But they are many roms or "custom firmwares" that u can flash. They will make ur phone nearly 100x better. Flashing is defnitely worth it. If ur brave enough, you can even add on the ffc.
[Vibrant General] hazard99:
Dont be scared you dont have to do much but flash the rom of your choice and read up on it a bit.

One of the little pleasures of life Is taking pride in the things that we do for ourselves. I am very grateful for the community everytime I meet someone who has a certain phone and hates it. I let them know that the phone isnt that bad.

Oh and btw I run bionix v and I can underclock to 800mhz and be happy as a pig in poop.

And also we let samsung have it. they got railed via facebook and twitter about how unhappy people were. Tust me they know!!!
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
I recommend both guides in my signature if you have not already. And yeah, we railed samsung pretty hard... got some articles written and voi'la they released froyo (half-assed though)
[Vibrant General] hazard99:
A little ass is better than no ass! Amirite? lol
[Vibrant General] Gibsonusa:
Yeah I was scared about f-ing my phone up but with some reading and some trail and error I've learned that without tthe dev community I would truly hate and more then likely would have broke this phone out or frustration. Wait till you get a whiskey or axura or eugene or the other guys.(sorry I just don't know the developer name but they so trigger and couple others) you will be floored. I know I am
[Vibrant General] BorisZX6R:
Well guys thanks for your input. I will have to do some more reading and definitely some flashing (this just sounds weird)

One question though. Would flashing eugenes kernel but remaining with stock ka6 fix the lag on this device?
[Vibrant General] hazard99:
Dont flash that!!!!!

Not cause its bad or anything.. but it could possibly erase your sd card and mess with your internal memory if you dont watch out

You are warned
[Vibrant General] BorisZX6R:
Got it. I will stay away for now.

Thank you!
[Vibrant General] BorisZX6R:
Sorry I meant supercurio not eugene.

Supercurio is the one that mentioned odin flashable kernel + voodoo but using stock firmware ka6 if I understood correctly...

I feel comfortable using odin, so if this will speed up the vibrant I would gladly try it...
[Vibrant General] hazard99:
It has a big impact on the speed. And sound is freakin sweet!
[Vibrant General] ericd07:
i love my vibrant! running bionix v and it is smooth. two of my friends got the MT4G when it came out and only recently started complaining how slow and laggy it became. So i rooted their phones and flashed a custom rom and they still play with my phone and tell me my vibrant runs smoother than theirs /shrug
[Vibrant General] Xan_Kriegor:
Well, there's yer problem!

Samsuck's-- I mean Samsung's stock firmware is notoriously laggy and filled with bloatware to the core. But there's a lot of devs here working on custom Vibrant ROMs. I highly recommend you read up on them and choose one that suits your personal preferences.
[Vibrant General] ELStiko:
Not to be a total jerk, but............

You are a member of XDA, a forum created by modders, for modders, and the soon to be modders. You said you have had the vibrant for a couple months. You knew what the complaints were, and you decided to get this phone. You complain about lag and gps issues, these are things people have been complaining for how long now?

If you have had your vibrant for a couple months now, you knew the MT4G was already out or coming out. Why not get that phone over the "inferior" vibrant.

To buy this phone without knowing that many people have already complained about those known issues and then post a thread complaining about it is just not too smart.
[Vibrant General] BorisZX6R:
Well, elstiko you do sound like a jerk.

I have had the vibrant for a couple months and I bought it used.

I did not follow this forum before I got the vibrant, but afterwards.

And yes out of the box this phon is inferior to many phones out there, like I said already, even htc aria works faster smoother and just plain better out of the box.

It is my and my opinion only.
[Vibrant General] dougstoner:
First off Boris, welcome to the Vibrant forums.

I was pretty upset with my Vibrant when I got it, as I had the same issues as you. I agree, I think these issues should have been ironed out and came in the box fully functional. That being said, I still would have tweaked my phone to get even more performance out of it. I think that's half the reason we are all here. We are tweakers, and want to see what we can really make our phones do. I can tell you using a rom with voodoo (ext4), will make a NIGHT and day difference. Trust me on that one. ...and the newer roms out there will def help your gps. Just like everyone said, just do some reading, as we were all a first time flasher, and it's scary to think you could end up with an expensive paper weight. Feel free to PM me ANY questions you have and I'll do my best to answer them. I know yo are going to have a ton of questions, as you want to make sure you do everything correctly. Hey, we are all here for the same reason. :D Good luck, happy flashing, and feel free to hit me up.
[Vibrant General] jbeez:
If I were you, I would download bionixv and place it on the internal sd card. Install titanium backup and snag a few things in the backup, like accounts, green items only but dont go crazy. I dont like to restore a ton myself if I can help it. Install rom manager from the market. Tell it to flash clockworkmod recovery, choose vibrant, then choose reboot into recovery. In stock recovery choose reinstall packages twice. Once in cwr choose install zip from sd card, choose zip from sd card, browse to bionixv zip file and install it. When you reboot it will apply the voodoo lagfix where it converts thr filesystems from rfs to ext4 formatting. Dont touch it, will spend a few minutes doing this. Once it finishes booting get to the desktop home screen, let it sit for about 10 min then reboot. Restore backups, reboot, then have fun. You may like the tw version if you are used to stock. If you want to revert disable voodoo lagfix first. This should get you going.

Remember to not interrupt the phone at all during the update process, make sure you have a fully charged battery before flashing. And leave it be for the voodoo conversion as well.

[Vibrant General] aneftp:
I think the main issue the OP has with the Vibrant is the GPS issue. I am trying to read into their post and a lot of disappointment is directed at the GPS issue.

I don't understand this lag people are complaining. I am running stock 2.2 with no root and my Vibrant runs smooth. Everything opens up immediately.

Granted I don't run a lot of programs in the background but my Vibrant seems faster than with Jl6. There was definitely a lag before Jl6. But especially with 2.2, I have zero lag.

So I think the OP's issue really has all to do with the defective GPS. And GPS is a major issue. I sold my Vibrant (with a working GPS in Dec, manufactuer date 06/2010). But I missed it a lot and re purchased another one off craigslist. The one I brought off craiglist had manufactuer date of 08/2010 and that GPS was totaly defective. Never got a GPS lock. Tmobile is sending me a refurbished replacement. But I didn't have any lag running stock 2.2 (original Samsung KA6)
[Vibrant General] BorisZX6R:
dougstoner, thank you for the support and understanding.

jbeez, I read instructions similar to your step by step description many times now in the last couple of months and I must say as tempting as it sounds I am not comfortable doing it yet, I think I have to get an understanding on how this platform works just so I can better understand how far I can go without screwing things up... thanks for the step by step!

I think for now it will be a huge step for me to flash supercurio's kernel and I think I will start with that, I am charging my phone as I type so that I can give it a shot.

One thing is still bugging me though. I am on KA6 official through kies mini, rooted already... will flashing the voodooo injected kernel mess up the already existing root access or the existing files on the internal/external sd?

aneftp, the gps is working halfway on my phone since JI6 in combination with the gpsrestore app, but I am not happy with it, and i have every right to be unhappy. This is unacceptable by 2010/2011 standards... GPS in phones has been out for a while now. I remember using it on several Nokia phones, it just worked. GPS is one if the things that bother me, battery life, and slow/choppy performance/response is also very frustrating...
[Vibrant General] dougstoner:
There are several youtube videos showing you step by step how to flash as well, so watching those can help ease your mind.

Another tip....backup all your sd card info. I've flashed some older roms that wiped it, and I wished I had it backed up. Now, I keep regular backups on my work and home computer. I try to do it every couple weeks so I don't lose any pics, files, etc.

Not sure about your question regarding flashing a voodoo kernal over. Not sure I would suggest that, as it might be easier for you to just flash a rom that has a voodoo kernal already built in. It's the same process (as far as flashing them goes), but you know the rom will work properly with the kernal.
[Vibrant General] KWKSLVR:
Here's a GPS fix for you. ;)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=878970

Short of the GPS, the rest is in the eyes of the user. I have a friend that went from a MT3G that was flash happy to a DroidX and swore off flashing ROMS (apparently MT3G Froyo Roms are buggy....not surprising). Anyway, the other day he told me that he started flashing again because of LAG. :D

My Vibrant has no lag. It freaking screams and it's faster than <Insert Android Here>. I like it. Is the GPS perfect? No, even after my fix it isn't perfect. The majority of later model Galaxy S's have perfectly functional GPS's. I could trade mine out for a newer one, but it works well enough for me.

Besides, this time next year I'll be on a dual core unit anyway. ;)
[Vibrant General] KWKSLVR:
Voodoo is EXT4. Flashing Supercurio's Kernel + Voodoo will convert your system over to EXT4. Flashing a ROM that has Voodoo that is enabled, but doesn't convert your system to EXT4 if you're coming from a ROM that is RFS (like a factory ROM) will brick your phone.

You're already on KA6, going to Supercurio's KA6 + Voodoo Kernel is NOT going to fix things. I recommend jumping in on the GPS thread and trying the steps listed first (the software solutions). The KA7 modem may help but if your GPS is largely useless on KA6 then it probably will be on KA7 as well.

I've read where a lot of people have had issues with official froyo destroying their GPS reception. Usually full wipe/reset seems to fix it. Start there.
[Vibrant General] VVinny:
How much does a used Vibrant cost in Nov/December.....20 bucks....I mean really. I got 2 in November for $99 after discounts and mail ins. So if anything you should expect to get what you pay for. This site 100% turns that around to where you now can get a top functioning product for nothing. Devs and others are more than happy to help you, but a donation doesn't pay all expenses so these dudes do work for a living. We can do our part by reading---reading---READING.

Also nice nasty is not the same as humility. I have asked several questions and not gotten any answer; only to find that it was there all the time...like 99% of what you are asking in this thread. Chill out, read, and your 20 bucks will go a long way.
[Vibrant General] BorisZX6R:
Well today I flashed the voodoo injected KA6 kernel via Odin and it seems things are better than pure stock.

No chopiness when scrolling through contacts and things like market or speedtest app load much faster. Seems like booting is faster too.

Hopefully it is not a placebo effect but a true change in performance.

I bought the Vibrant used right before Christmass for 250 and since I am on the even more plus plan I do not buy from T-Mobile it would cost a lot more... but I also have no warranty... I doubt you can buy any phone for 20 bucks...

[Vibrant General] TJBunch1228:
Yeah I got mine for $250 right around the same time. You can't get it for any less than a couple hundred bucks at tmo, and that's with a2yr contract. If you go through third party companies like wirefly you can get them for dirt cheap, but even then you only get the deal with a full upgrade which requires another 2 years onto the contract.
[Vibrant General] VVinny:
GL Boris, brick the crap out of it daily.;) I just recovered from the scariest one ever. ODIN back to stock without ever seeing a yellow Download screen (weird). Anyway try Eugene's Ginger Clone Final--its JL4 but you can flash a JL5 over it with no problem (it looks damn good with Sam Crow Black Froyo icons also). TW Nero 5 wi/the Ginger Blue---I cant remember the guy who does the blue icons, but its nice. I had Ginger TWhiz when I was stuck at work with poor connection----it had flawless Wi-Fi calling; but Bionix V has the Wi-Fi calling app so I'm good on that now. Bionix V is awesome with Apocalypse GingerRed package. I switch them out all day long.:D Have fun man.
[Vibrant General] ELStiko:
So once again, you failed to do the first thing when it comes down to purchasing an expensive gadget, you failed miserably to do any form of research. I have no sympathy to those who decide to buy things before they do a simple google search to search for reviews for a phone. And now you are unhappy and coming onto an online forum to post a worthless rant to stir up some sympathy.

But you ended up doing what you should have done instead of writing a whiny rant. And congrats on rooting and flashing your phone.
[Vibrant General] BorisZX6R:
Elstiko man you sound so angry?! Is it the Vibrant that is pissing you off?

I have done some research, this phone gets nothing but good reviews online and everyone seems impressed (at least for the first few days).

I also did not post here for sympathy but because I felt the need to vent...

I can say with certainty that this was my last Samsung phone. Seems HTC is making them much better...
