[Vibrant General] XPLANE9:
Well T-Mobile, looks like you have fully reimbursed me for the inconveniences that you have presented me during my replacement order, maybe OVER reimbursed me. Why? Here's the story.

I posted a thread named "Tmobile Lost my Phone?" a few days ago where I described my situation in which Tmobile made a mistake on the replacement order for my Vibrant. As a prepaid customer, I have to ship the phone in first before I get a replacement, so I believe a person in the return center confused it with a postpaid replacement where you receive the replacement phone first, thus causing the delay. Well, I contacted the executive response department and they expedited a new replacement order. Great, so now I recontact Tmobile customer service again and this time, they tell me the order was finally sent, after 16 business days.

The result? I now have two Samsung Vibrants, one with the battery and the back cover, and another without a battery or back cover. :D

Just wanted to share my story. (Should I trade one of the Vibrants?) Maybe I should change my sig...
[Vibrant General] TheBrandonWRX:
Watch those karma points my friend. Sounds like you earned it, but I am just saying...
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
when you bought your vibrant, didn't it come with a extra cover? and the batteries are 30-40 dollars, buy one its worth it you saved a few hundred dollars.
[Vibrant General] XPLANE9:
Lost the spare cover, but batteries on ebay are 7 dollars and battery covers 10 I think.
[Vibrant General] XPLANE9:
Karma? Well, I spent 2 weeks without a phone for business or personal use, contacted tmobile customer care about 20 times, filed BBC claims, and finally got to a executive rep.
[Vibrant General] XPLANE9:
I got an offer for a mint condition HD2 + 20 cash. Worth it?
[Vibrant General] mainevent3405:
I've gotten 2 phones replaced FREE as well as a battery as a prepaid customer and they always sent the replacement first before I returned the one I had. They even offered me the opportunity to go into a tmo store and get a free replacement loaner until I received the replacement vibrant!
[Vibrant General] rangercaptain:
Me too. They gave me a phone and a shipping bag for the dead phone.
[Vibrant General] XPLANE9:
Shipping bag for the dead phone? As in a bag to ship in the faulty phone?

Hey guys, do you think an HD2 with 35 dollars cash is a good trade?
[Vibrant General] mattb6288:
i think hd2 with 75 cash is a better deal. hd2 just sucks really bad and has old hardware. if anything you can probably get a g2 for it
[Vibrant General] XPLANE9:
I just got an offer for a "good" condition g2. But I am not a fan of the z- hinge and the screen is too small imo.

I may get lucky and just trade for a hd7. :D
[Vibrant General] mattb6288:
good luck with that. i tried to trade for an hd7 and all the craigslist ads said vibrant and 100 bucks for it. besides hd7 has same hardware as hd2. if all you care about is screen size then go ahead and try. you can always try and just sell it for about 200-300 bucks

ps don't forget if you get the g2 you don't have to use the keyboard and the screen is only .2 in smaller then the vibrant
[Vibrant General] bstromberg:
my wife has a G2 and honestly i can't even tell the difference in the screen size when i use it. the display is not as good, but not too much. plus, i just flashed GingerVillian 1.5 (cm7) on it and man is it sweet. i'd go for the G2 for sure.
[Vibrant General] sgtmedeiros:
I had the hd7

Traded for vibrant

Coudn't be happier.
[Vibrant General] mattb6288:
just random looking at everyone's signature and it looks like everyones running flagship v4 now a days. just saying, it has nothing to do with this post. what does have to do with this post is if you can, go with the g2 you'll still have the vibrant. plus you can try out tmobiles real 4g speeds
[Vibrant General] imitebewrong:
I returned my G2 for the Vibrant and could not be happier. The G2 is

very

heavy! If you drop it and it is not protected, it will surely break. Also its kind of thick. Kind of feels like a TV remote in your pocket. I also felt the screen could have used more width. And the Z hinge is cool, but it pops open when you dont want it to more often than you'd think. Gets irritating.

I would have kept it if the Vibrant had not been an equal trade. As for now, You're better off selling your second vibrant and waiting for a dual core device! :)
[Vibrant General] hazard99:
Id sell and use that money on a new device or trade for a tablet and some cash.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flow.69:
Hello,

i want wo update my X10 but i have some problems.

I have succesfully rooted my phone and installed xRecovery too.

Then i install "X10i_2.1.A.435_GLOBAL-GGL GENERIC 1232-9897 - Global Generic" to my X10 without any problems.

I boot my x10 some times but i have no network access (2/3/4G) and i cant use WLAN...

Then i look at the system info and see "baseband version: unknown"...

What is the problem with my update???

I still tried to flash the update again but nothing has changed.

Sorry for my bad english guys... ^^

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kiefels:
Plenty of solutions to your problem on the forum if you use search but...

Your problem is you installed the new software over your old without wiping data (Factory Rest) in the Xrecovery options before you flashed it.

If you backed up your original first...

Go to Xrecovery (Restart phone and press back button a few times while "Sony Erricson" is showing)

Move to wipe User data (Factory Reset)

THEN reinstall your back up.

THEN you can go back to Xrecovery menu

Wipe User Data (Factory Reset)

Then Install the new global generic software.

This should fix your data and signal errors and also give you a working baseband number.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flow.69:
Thanks for your help but it doesn´t works...

I have the same problems than before...

Baseband version ist still unknown...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flow.69:
Any other solution for my problem???
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michael7168:
If the rest of your phone is still functional after re-installing the latest firmware with xrecovery then you might want to try installing one of the custom ROMs for this .435, like the high performance ROM kx10 R2B001. This ROM is definately better than the stock firmware just look it up in the development forum.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michael7168:
Hey im sorry about my above post... when i said with xrecovery i ment make sure you have xrecovery working; not installing the firmware with xrecovery as all firmware uses the flash tool.

For example, if I want to buy a new device that mount 1.6 release, how can I know if there is a new release?

Many thanks

I have HTC Desire rooted with the latest Unrevoked.

I've installed the latest HBOOT.

I've installed CM 6.1.1.

And still I only have partial root acces, for example I'm unable to mount system with adb.

I can't uninstall system apps.

On the other hand there are some apps that require root access that work without problems.

It's driving me crazy, I've tried everything allready.

Rerooting, wiping....

Nothing worked.

Help please!

[Off-topic] cylent:
this is completely offtopic so here goes...

anybody know of any IT companies hiring for support jobs but online?

the reason i say online is because i am in Baghdad and I have 16 years of tech skills as i have lived in the U.S. ... i am a certified linux systems administrator as well as i have spent all my years doing technical support for lots of big companies like SONY ONLINE and Linksys and others.

so far i've found a job that i applied for an awaiting a response from dropbox.com for online support.

anybody know of any other companies looking or a place where i can find references to companies seeking to hire for support jobs online?

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] coker6303:
There is a unix based software called Tribute (tribute.com) that lots of distributors across the us use for daily business such as entering orders and checking inventory. Can someone look at this to see if it could be ported over to an android app? I am not technical enough to know how to do this. We are trying to push Android and this would seal the deal!

Thanks!

[Droid Incredible General] SynisterWolf:
Am I the only one that will take the time to routinely clean there incredible? I have a screen protector and a case on my phone. And when I have down time ill take the case off and wipe it all down with 95% alcohol wipes, and use compressed nitrogen (from work) and lightly blow all the fuzz and dust off it. Making sure not to blow on the speakers of course.

Just was wondering what you guys do to keep it clean.

Sent from my sexy assistant. (HTC Incredible running cm7)
[Droid Incredible General] Shiftyshadee:
Those are pretty much the exact steps I take with mine about once a month
[Droid Incredible General] SynisterWolf:
It feels like a new phone afterwards. I always get down time at work in the beginning of the months so take my time on it. And its cool we have clean room equipment so I always have the wipes and the nitrogen. Kinda wish I could bring in the Xbox and blow it out too. :p

[Droid Incredible General] packerjd04:
What happens if you blow the compressed air on the speaker??
[Droid Incredible General] toosurreal01:
You could blow out the speaker from the force of the compressed air.
[Droid Incredible General] packerjd04:
O wow I was not aware of that! Even from a quick one over? Thanks for the info, I'll just stick to wiping with the microfiber cloth I suppose.
[Droid Incredible General] SynisterWolf:
yeah the speakers have a paper cone and could blow out if you do a direct hit. for me i can adjust how much nitrogen is coming out of hose. just don't get it to close.
[Droid Incredible General] CaptainMoustache:
I got a couple of those monster screen cleaner kits that I got from work a couple of years ago that I use. Monster forgot to drill holes in the spray bottles so we were to to throw the defective ones away. The spray and the microfiber cloth work wonders cleaning the screen and the silicon parts of the case that get dusty. At retail of $20 a kit, its not worth it but if you can get it for less then I highly recommend it. Plus you can use it to clean all other plastic gadgets guilt free
[Droid Incredible General] :
Every once in a while I'll take off the back and dust it out. Mainly the camera lens cover, I'm always getting a ton of dust under it. I don't have a screen protector or a case and it is still in great condition. Can't say the same for the back of my iPod though, stupid chrome.
[Droid Incredible General] kioshi:
I usually walk into home depot twice a month and use the tool rentals air compressor to blow out the accumulated dust from the rear cover.

Occasionally i'll make the mucrofiber cloth damp, just enough to get the

ouly stuff off from my screen protector.
[Droid Incredible General] newter55:
I use my t shirt...and some spit.
[Droid Incredible General] g00s3y:
I do this too... works wonders... i think i may start cleaning my whole house like this...
[Droid Incredible General] rkerns:
If there are any fibers or lint on the speaker screen you can use a small strip of Scotch tape and lay it GENTLY over the speaker screen to remove. Works wonders but do not press on!
[Droid Incredible General] kynibe:
My cleans itself never had a problem with it no cover or screen protector. The way they built these phones they take a pretty good beating and they keep on trucking. I am just amazed that my phone don't have any scratches with the many times my 2 year old had dropped it on the floor. It is really an Incredible!
[Droid Incredible General] gonzlobo:
Mom, is that you?
[Droid Incredible General] g00s3y:

I think you should sell your incredible and use the money for counseling.
[Droid Incredible General] newter55:
You trying to say your mom never expressed her concern for your appearance using the exceptionally effective saliva/finger method to straighten your hair...or get a dried up booger off your cheek?

Guess I was just lucky.
[Droid Incredible General] incubus26jc:
mine is getting dust underneath the bottom left corner of the screen. How do i get this out?
[Droid Incredible General] dmbhaggis:
No case or screen protector

My t-shirt is also my cleaner
[Droid Incredible General] cakaros:
I actually used some isopropyl and wiped down the whole phone after taking the battery out. However, the alcohol completely stripped off the black paint behind the battery. Not that it matters to me, but if the color behind your battery matters to you, watch out with the isopropyl.
[Droid Incredible General] ACD168:
why would u do this?
[Droid Incredible General] n8w:
With a case and a screen protector, there's not much to do. My innocase seems to keep whatever out just fine, so a couple wipes on the pants is the extent of my cleaning.
[Droid Incredible General] cakaros:
My phone had some sticky crud on it. Figured isopropyl would take it right off. It did, along with some other things.
[Desire General] B-bal:

Hi everyone,

Welcome to the Advent Vega forums. I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Will Verduzco (creative forum name, right?) and I've been assigned as the moderator of this forum. The Adam seems to have a lot of potential, and with an aspiring dev team, I see great things for this device.

In order for the dev team to thrive, however, the development section needs to stay clean and tidy. Obviously it is my job to ensure this, but I ask your help in the process. Please make sure you post in the correct sections.

-Only ROM Development, Hacks, Mods, Fixes, Reference, and Tutorials go in the Dev Section

-All Questions and Requests should go in the General Section.

Also, if you see any thread that is in the wrong section or if you see any questionable posts/content, please don't hesitate to click the report () button.

Pretty much, everything in this forum is already in the right sections and seems to be running like a well-oiled machine, so keep up the good work.

Thanks for your help, and more importantly, have fun!

I am pissed off @ xda because of the unfriendly treatment of new members (even though I am a dev, with enough experience). I will never post my ROM on a ****ty site like XDA, I had to spam 13 posts (deeply sorry for it) and still I cannot make my own thread in development, well I give up. If you want my ROM here it is

On a far better website then XDA will ever be.

Did you PM the moderator that is dedicated to this forum abut getting the limit lowered/removed? - No.

Did you contact the forum admin team about the same? - No.

Have you filled in a Recognised Developer application form? - No.

Instead of using a bit of common sense you decide to "spam" (as you put it) XDA & then whinge.

The limit is removed when the user database is updated, usually every 6 hours. But you would of known that had you just searched.

Shut the door on your way out.;)

I agree, it is a matter of opinion. I tried the 10" Viewsonic gTablet and found the platform and ROMs to be great; amazing even. Unfortunately the shallow viewing angle on the screen was too brutal for me to tolerate so I had to send it back. That said, many don't have a problem with the screen so if you can tolerate that it makes it a great value for ~$300.
