Flash to stock, call t mobile and tell them your gps is non functional even after the froyo update, and get an exchange. My gps works INSTANTLY. Cold. I type my destination in Navigation and when I press enter my navigation is already talking. No maps, no 10 minutes, no downloads, we all know these are often placebos and we are still waiting and waiting for a signal which can still go off road randomly, etc. none of that with a new phone.

I did not try the physical gps fix in the forums but that could work too. Your gps still not be fixed by software, its a hardware problem. It seems phones manufactured after October (?) do not have the gps issue. Worth the hassle for me, at no cost if you do it for the gps issues and there is no physical damage to your phone. Just make sure you flash back to stock before you call because they will ask you to go through your system information on the line. Back up EVERYTHING and put it on a computer, get your exchange and flash back to your favorite rom and enjoy your now fully functional Vibrant that works in every way you bought it to work. And make sure you not only factory reset before you send the old one in, but also delete anything incriminating on your internal sd because a factory reset won't do it.
[Vibrant General] TheSneakerWhore:
Don't blame the rom...Your hardware sucks.

Been running TW roms since the Bionix 1.0 days and NEVER had any issues.
[Vibrant General] deadpass:
Those problems are not inherent to TW roms, it's a problem with the phone.
[Vibrant General] anilo:
@TheSneakerWhore, @deadpass:

OK - it might the hardware, but how do you explain no dropping calls on stock 2.1? I've used on stock for at least couple months and never had to reboot my phone because it did not have signals (or had signals but no connection).

I also flash Axura roms and never have a similar issue but they are too customized for me.

PS: I am not trying to blame the TW roms specifically nor am I defending another rom. Actually, if you open the latest Development thread, you will see my post thanking those guys because of an excellent job they've done. I am just not happy with the data and GPS - which I never had an issue before starting flashing TW and thinking others might be experiencing the same.
[Vibrant General] Oxirane:
Strangely my GPS and cell signals seem stronger on TW ROMs than most others... It might be just slightly different hardware (not all units are created 100% equal after all) reacting differently to the software?

Have you perhaps tried Trigger v1.5? I thought the theming was very tasteful, you may like it, and it seemed pretty solid on GPS and signals.
[Vibrant General] anilo:
Thanks, @Oxirane. I will give it a try.
[Vibrant General] da_dragon2k3:
I would try out different modems. For instance jl5 and kb1 great with gps in my case. jfd, ji6, ka5-7 all were teh suck when it came to gps. It all depends on your phone and location too. So flash away and find whats right for you.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=868774

I lol'd @ this "I live in an area (Maine) where you never experience a dropped call since there aren't many people living."
[Vibrant General] xxxman999:
I'm with the OP on the drop call and inconsistent data issue. By all means, I have flashed almost every ROM out there. Every single ROM on here is awesome and all respects to the devs. I'm currently on Bionix 1.2 now for the third time and what I have and still noticed is the inconsistent data drop 2-3 times a day. No biggie since I managed to turn airplane off and back on and everything's back to normal. At first I thought it was KB1 that's causing this so I decided to try out different modems/kernals. After playing around a bit, I decided to stay with KA6 for a few days and noticed data improvement but still inconsistent (loss data connection). I also flashed the ROMs (Axura and Einherjar) and I don't have the data loss. I also flashed all the way back to Nero 5 just to check it out. I do not have any data problems with Nero 5. Anyways, I don't really mind every now and then switching air plane mode off/on. However, the issue as mentioned by OP does exist on some phones.
[Vibrant General] eminembdg:
I'm running Bionix V 1.2, and the last 4 ROM's before this were all also TW ROMs.

I have not experienced a single one of your issues. My phone is fast, smooth, and have excellent signal and data everywhere around my area.

I doubt it is the ROM, but I'm no expert and cant say that for a definite.

But if myself along as many others , including a few buddies of mine, don't see those issues it just seems unlikely to be the ROM.

But who knows....
[Vibrant General] 2sh0rt:
Well im guessing its the change of modems that's causing your issues... im sure it has nothing to do with the rom espeically since you never had issues supposedly when using Axura (since axura is based on bionix). Almost all the roms on here are based on TW roms, just change modems, theme, add a few random options, from what i've seen in the code. Like other suggested tryin flashing different modems and find the one that works best for your area. I've been running Bionix V 1.2 since day one and have not experienced any of the issues you have describbed...
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
I know your not trying to act up or anything, but thats kind of just mean.

I mean these devs are helping us by giving us more options.

Most of them aren't based on TW.

some are, most aren't.

but your saying "almost all the rom on here are based on TW Roms, just change modems, theme, add a few random options"

I'd like to see YOU edit the modem and theme and add a few random options and make a ROM. go ahead.

I can say that TW is also just editing a few codes and theming on a ROM that Samsung made, and that they aren't developers.

TW set a standard, a precedent, and people will follow it, but they aren't copying it.
[Vibrant General] xxxman999:
not complaining at all to any ROMs. just throwing out my input to let the OP knows that he's not alone in this world. To me, if there's a way around the problem, the problem is minor. Besides, I flashed and used different ROMs like changing diapers. LOL. I like to keep my Vibrant looked different every 2-3 wks. Pretty soon, we'll see a flow of new ROMs and I be all over every single one of them like "flies on sh!t". Dang, haven't used that expression in a long time. LOL
[Vibrant General] 2sh0rt:
there is not "editing of modems" its changing modems... and theming is nothing more then changing pngs and .9s and edit xmls... its not very difficult... time consuming but not difficult. as far as what TW does to their roms in decompiling smalis and editing the Java, i've personally only seen a handful tru developers here actually doing it to what samsung has leaked. MOST of these so called roms have taken the edits that TW has done and just dropped their own changes on top of them. This has been proven time and time again! but regardless you are entitled to youre own opinions.

My point is that Axura IS based on TW's edit so if the issues persist in TW rom but not in Axura, one of the causes would most likely be due to the modem cuz im 99% sure that several Axura roms use different modems.... that is all i was trying to say.
[Vibrant General] krylon360:
One thing I have not seen in any of the posts that are having the issue is what modem you are using.

I will say it now, KB1 modem sucks monkey balls. I haven't had any dropped calls on it, but have stale connections all the time. What I mean by that is, my phone is sending data packets, but isn't receiving any for a good 30 seconds.

So, try a different modem. KA5 seems to be the best modem for signal and battery life.
[Vibrant General] xxxman999:
THX Krylon360. To be perfectly honest, I tried different ROMs and modems and noticed some significant improvements. I totally agree that KA5 and KA6 are better for me in terms of signal hence KA6 is what I stick with as mentioned in my previous response.
[Vibrant General] oka1:
surprisingly, these problems can come up from odd combos of apps or some configuration that is unique........ Lucky you:p

I had some phone disconnects on my phone when it was on a TW and Eugene kernel, but it was a custom mms I installed that caused the issue..... so you might look at what you got on your phone as well. Remember, some of the app developers did not or do not update their apps and this may cause an issue especially running a 2.2 platform (especially a ported 2.2 platform) if they are older apps. Food for thought
[Vibrant General] dougstoner:
I was having the same issues with 1.2. dropped calls, no data, constantly switching from edge to 3g, etc. had no issues with nero. As everyone said, try a different modem. Worked for me.
[Vibrant General] anilo:
Thanks everyone! krylon360, I should have mentioned the modem I've been using: KA5. So, it's weird how you and some others find KA5 and KA6 to work best and I had all these problems with it. Maybe it really is a unique combination of apps, configuration etc.

Last night I flashed KB1 and will give it a try for a few days. I tried GPS on my way to home; opened Navigation and entered directions, and I got instant lock. I see that as an improvement. Will follow closely. Thanks again!
[Vibrant General] musikalharmony:
There's nothing wrong with the roms i been flashing since i got my vibrant once flashing do you wait the initial 10 mins and then reboot before you start using your phone? if not you may want to try that. TW roms are pretty much flawless.

Hello,

I have a Galaxy S under Darky's rom 9.2, and i have a little problem

How should an application is automatically launched at start of GS?

I use an application "autoconference" which automatically switches the GS in "free hand"when it is tilted, but this application is to run at every boot.

Is there a way, as with the Windows Mobile start menu, to specify applications that must start.

Sorry if this topic has already been resolved on the forum, but I have not found.

It looks like the playstation phone will be on big red. I was going to wait until year's end and pick up whatever dual core monster is out there that i really like, but with the exception of this phone only being single core, it does have a lot of what I wanted anyways and more.

1. two cameras

2. Android 2.3

3. Playstation controls

4. Newly announced Playstation Network store/studio or whatever the Android link up is called.

I think this will be a great phone.

Anyone know any history of the sony android phones? good/bad/unrootable/etc?

Definitely make the emulators far more controllable.

[Xperia Play General] bleached45:
I have the X10, it was rooted.

Sony had a hard time with updates (untimely/didn't give us basic features/said features were impossible) but in all honesty they have done ok with updates...

We ended up getting 720p with the 2.1 update (long after 2.2 was out, we got an old OS Sony claimed was better than stock 2.2), we ended up getting glitched dualtouch after Sony told us it would never happen, and most recently they announced we will be getting 2.3.3 later in the year.

They say with the way Sony built their 2.3 ROMs they can provide more timely updates because they left it closer to stock Android.

Sony's support is really odd, they aren't truthful, they are behind the competition, but they do seem to work on the phones, they will probably update, I just don't know how timely it will be.

The Play looks promising, but the ROM will probably feel sluggish and don't count on Sony for anything wonderful, that will come from XDA Devs.

But I give Sony credit, they appear to be moving towards a more open concept with the new lines, they are unlocking the bootloader so updates will happen, from them or XDA, it will happen.

Also I'm able to go back into recovery mode and restore my backup. So my phone is currently back in stock rom.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
If you successfully backed up your phone you are not using Clockwork ROM Recovery 3.x. It's a well known fact that that Recovery image has problems backing up Nandroids, or restoring them for that matter.

What color was the text when you were in recovery? Orange or green?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnroidGuy2011:
Its Green, so I have clockworkMod Recovery 2.5.1.2

So I need to update to the 3.x and I should be good?

Also to do a successfull back up of my nandroid I go to "backup and restore" and then select "backup"?

Thanks again for your help
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
if you are wanting CM7 yes you need to flash Clockwork ROM 3.0 via the Fastboot ADB commands. If you are wanting your phone to work you can flash of any of the other ROMS as of right now.

Clockwork ROM 3.x will not do nandroid back ups in it's current state. As Gingerbread comes closer to being an official or RC i'm sure they make sure it can do nandroids. nor will 2.x do nandroids of CM7. but to answer your question you are correct.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TrueBlue_Drew:
You are correct. See my thread here For the easiest way to install 3.0.0.5. And yes you can use Rom Manager for backups while on 2.5.1.2 but Rom Manager isnt compatable with flashing or backups for 3.0.0.5. You must use recovery.

I rooted, made a back up with Clockwork ROM Recovery 3.x. , flashed CM7 and everything was fine. Then I flashed Kernel_2.6.32.27grankin01-CM-GB-OC-v0.09 and when I unlocked the screen everything started force closing on a black screen. I locked the screen again, powered off and on again then it got stuck on the splash screen. I restored my back up and it's stuck on splash screen still. Then I tried to flash Kernel 2.6.32.21grankin010OC0v0.05 thinking my back-up might need a stock kernel. I am a super noob at this, I have successfully flashed roms to my tab before, but I've only been learning about this for about a month. I've been searching and searching but can't seem to find a solution. Am I screwed?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
IMHO opinion you are not screwed.

When flashing custom Kernels you need to have a program like SetCPU so you can govern the CPU speed. To fast of a speed or to slow of a speed and it will not boot correctly. You need to flash a different version of CM7 than you are using now, via the recovery screen. make sure to wipe the handset first. that should reset the Kernel to one that Zinx knows works with the phone.

As well i wouldn't recommend flashing kernels with Nightlies. They are unstable as it. and you need to make sure the kernel is compatible with Nightly you are using. And you can over clock them to 1.5Ghrzf from w/ in the ROM.

Can somebody(me) buy a sprint or verizon galaxy tab, flash the appropriate ROM and flash the tab over to cricket to get voice and data?

I am very familiar with CDMA tools and QPST. I dont see how it could not work.

Has anybody done this? I'm probably going to try in the next week or so.

What ROM would I use?
[Galaxy Tab General] xoreactionzox:
Well I got 2 sprint tabs and thats the main reason I paid 1200 for them lol who else is gonna have a 7 inch phone on cricket lol

But as of right now I have not figured out how to get the dailer working and theres no roms or nothing currently to flash like u have to use the verizon version to even get clockwork

And as of now I have no clue how to get to the dail codes like ##(msl code) # or ##diag#

Im sure it can be done but first we have to get a dailer to get it flashed I mean it should be the same as the epic once we get that
[Galaxy Tab General] bendoe91z28:
So could it be done with a verizon tab? The internet has nothing on the subject.
[Galaxy Tab General] quattr0:
Nope. Only AT&T & Tmobile and of course European tab could have voice. The voice feature on Tmobile is not desired as data speed is only @ EDGE while AT&T could have 3G & Voice together. If you want to have data speed @ 3G on Tmobile, you have use the modem switcher Roto created. It's in the Dev forum.

Verizon & Sprint tab could have voice feature by using VoIP. There is a thread in Dev forum. Check out the Bible while you're there.
[Galaxy Tab General] bendoe91z28:
I have a feeling if we can get a Verizon tab in DRM mode with QPST, we could flash it over to cricket.

Can somebody with a verizon tab press w/ Euro rom press ##3424# for me and tell me what happens?

Follow the README to uninstall the driver. Then use kies to flash. Either that or you can grab a decrypted official release and flash via Heimdall, you'll get the same result either way.

Or are you referring to restoring all your data? If so then Kies doesn't really back up much. Just your contacts really, but yeah you can uninstall the driver and use Kies to restore these.

I wouldn't get too excited just yet...There's been no solid or reliable word on the Fascinate update yet. Based on past experience, news of the OTA update will probably "leak" at least a few days ahead if not a week or two. I'm not saying it won't happen tomorrow, but if it doesn't happen tomorrow, you might want to try rooting your phone and installing the EB01 Froyo Rom. It's actually pretty stable and brings a lot of new features. It might possibly be the build that actually gets officially released.
