[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Life in LA:
I left sprint for the galaxy S 4g on the the day it was available, and have been very, VERY unhappy with the reception on the phone. I checked the coverage maps on t-mobile.com before I switched, and both my work and home locations are supposed to be in "maximum coverage" areas for voice AND data, but I am getting only 1 - 2 bars and edge (EDGE!!!) most of the time. often the phone drops to "no service" at my work location.

I love the device, but I never, NEVER had these issues with sprint. I can't believe that I actually see the E network symbol at the top of the phone, and not at least 3G.

Could this be a radio problem? Or are the coverage maps at t-mobile.com that inaccurate?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
At least for the two locations where I have less-than-ideal coverage, the T-Mobile maps hint at that.

Both on a Nokia N900 (3.5G) and my SGS4G, what I actually get is probably a notch or two down -- for example, "4G Good" means I probably get 4G outside, but more likely am getting 3.5G or 3G, especially if I'm inside.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nwpro3:
If you are getting EDGE you are in a 2G area. I have a 2G tower close enough that it would smash my motorhome if it fell over. I get between 4 to 16KB/sec transfer rate. From the research I've done, T-M is putting up new towers but they have a long way to go before the coverage is going to be available. Also I have found that when I am surfing the web, My phone misses calls. When I am talking on the phone, my computer can't surf the web very well. T-M claims they have 4G in place in major service areas but the reviews I've read they are lucky if it's 3.5G.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Life in LA:
thanks

I am swapping the device today after work. hopefully, it resolves my issues. If not, it's back to sprint. (they called me with a "win back" pitch the other day, maybe they'll refund the ETF I paid...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Had to chuckle a bit with the recent announcements in the business world. Thankfully, any device we just bought will be obsolete by the time any merger goes through... :p
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Life in LA:
Bummer

well, it wasn't the device!

Brand new unit, and I'm sitting here at work with 1 bar and EDGE network! (despite the fact that the coverage maps show me in the maximum coverage area for voice and data!) NEVER in the 2 years I had sprint did I ever see the edge network pop up on my phone.

Back to sprint I go!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] orionshock:
How are you holding the device? do you have a shock-case for it?

Nearly every cell phone i have ever used suffered from the "Grip of Death" problem that was over-hyped on the iPhone. It's a normal and natural interaction that if you are holding both sides of the phone your signal will be crap.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jmattp:
T-Mobile just has spotty coverage in some areas. I live in a highly populated area, and I still lose 3G in certain places. I don't even get reception in my apartment, but my laptop with Verizon 3G does. I left AT&T because of a lack of Android devices, and my wife and I were sucked in by T-Mobile's free smartphone sale thing. Now AT&T has the Atrix and another cool phone and we're stuck with crappy coverage.

This theme is hot. I actually installed per the instructions and when I got to the shortcut part (patch) I gave up. However the pages are pretty easy to set up and looks hella good when the tiles are added.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] cal4877:
Yeah man same here I couldn't get arrow to work hopefully someone will find a way to make this work on the vibrant
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] FRuiTBoOT:
Just go to the marketplace and download metro UI. Same effect.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] bdubs4200:
Yup, hideous either way :-P but yea that's what I would suggest. Or use DvR with your own icons :-) that's a lil more personalized than metro ui
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jcc332006:
Yes, I'm fiddling around with Metro UI & 7 Launcher right now. I Think if you download desktop visualizer and use multiwallpaper app this can be set up to our personal liking. I took the w7 walls (home, msg, people ect,) and Im going to try to see if shortcuts can be made on the them. If so this will be cool. I'm suprised that none of the chefs have ported W7 to the vibrant in the form of a rom. I think Master is the only one so far that has incorporated the launcher in one of his prior roms, but you couldnt swap out the tiles. Would be totally cool if someone could take the newer Metro & 7 launcher and build a rom from it.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] cal4877:
Yeah but metro UI doesnt give you the options to set up 7 screens and we need seven screens to make this look right
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] FRuiTBoOT:
Either way I think the WP7 UI is Fugly and too basic. I work at MS and everyone and thier mom has a WP7 and LOL@ Those phones. But I guess its all preference..especially since MS employees get them for Free if they use it for work.

What is this verification process? Do I need to do this using a custom recovery mode of some sort? I think I am still using the android system recovery system.

So we babysat our delightful seven month old twin nieces this weekend and lovely it was too

Unfortunately when my back was turned for a moment one of the little cherubs decided my Rhodium made a rather wonderful teething chew = baby dribble drenched phone:rolleyes:

To start with all the buttons were acting up but after powering off and letting it dry over night they were fine; unfortunately though when I make or receive a call I can hear the person on the other end but they can't hear me.

Seems obvious its a problem with the mic but any thoughts on how I might fix it?

I downloaded the Honey Sweet 2.4 and my Market app went from the black app to green and it now seems that my text message notification also went back to yellow from black. Any idea why these things happen?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xspeedaddictx:
Actually its only the MMS icon. I am assuming that the MMS notification was not changed to black. None the less I don't know why the black market icon turned green.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oka1:
I have noticed this as well especially when flashing a theme. What I think is going on is the default market setting (from the market when connecting) overrides the custom color. That's what I assumed, not such a big deal to me anyway
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xspeedaddictx:
Hmm. Damn I really liked the black icon.
[Dell Streak 7] ArthurJGuy:
I haven't stopped by to make an introduction or anything but I am in the process of test driving a DS7 for a future "Androidputer" style install into my car.

One of the major hurdles I have come across is having the DS7 charge in the car while powered on. The typical cig lighter adapter tells the DS7 it is getting USB power and it will not charge.

I'm curious if something like this would solve that issue.

[Dell Streak 7] bogdi1988:
no need to! go to radio shack.. get a dc to usb adaptor...

this is the one i got and i can guarantee it will work:

http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11329448

it gives the enough current that the DS7 needs to charge. I currently charge my DS7 (media/gps puter) and my nexus s with that and it works perfectly fine!
[Dell Streak 7] Arun01:
Yep I went to radio shack & got me a usb charger & it worked good.You're for sure going to keep that Streak 7 charged.Mine was horrible on battery life.
[Dell Streak 7] ArthurJGuy:
Interesting. I have a different adapter of the same style and it didn't appear to charge.

Perhaps I didn't wait long enough. I'll give it another try, if not that will be my next purchase.

This is going to be hard mounted in my car permanently so car charging is a must.
[Dell Streak 7] bogdi1988:
if the adapter does not provide the necessary amps it will not charge. that's why the one i got works, because it gives out 2.5Amps. Most of the others give out only 1A. If you look on the power adapter for the DS7 you will see that it asks for 2A and 5V.

Hi!

I posted this afternoon because I wanted to get more from my sgs and i still had doubts.

I finally made it to put Darky's room 9.3 in my sgs with no problems. Fact is that... i don't know, maybe its me, but i think i'm experiencing little bit of lag. Last quadrant i did was around 1110.

Any idea if this is normal?

Thank you in advance
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] utsmaster18:
Quadrants don't mean anything. Some people get crazy numbers and still feel like they have lag. Don't rely on the numbers for determining if you have lag or not. If your apps are opening quickly, as in you don't just sit there looking at a black screen, then you have relatively no lag. If you still feel you have lag, then apply a lagfix

Personally speaking, darkyy's rom has almost no lag at all in opinion, but to each his own

Hey guys I just posted up an editorial about my thoughts on Xbox Live on my still in-progress WP7 blog. I'm working on it, but it's difficult to keep up with news when the site is run by one college student :P

Okay so I have been lurking around sense I got my Tilt 2, and messing with various mods and apps.

So far the only real theme mod I have is CHT 2.0.

But what I am wondering, is if there is a way to remove, or atleast recolor the AT&T banner under the start button.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ai6908:
Well AT&T figured somehow to put in, so yes it can be removed! The Question is what manila file it is??

Why not just use a custom ROM? Or search this forum to see if there is a fix for it posted eslewhere, or look into manila files and see what needs to be fixed.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Kayao:
No where near good enough to touch custom roms.

I'll probably just dig through the windows folder.

If you don't have a corporate email account, then Moxier is just bloating your phone.

Nobody take me wrong but at times I kinda regret not going with the evo just because its forums are fast moving and really active. like I said none take me wrong because I love my shift its so smooth. I thought all android was like this but I'm proud to say my phone runs android smooth. I thought this phone was going to be a hit like the evo. I'm hoping in general things take off. Anyone having the same feelings about the evo shift?
[EVO Shift 4G General] Scaryghoul:
Development is going fine, most of the development goes on behind the scenes and there are a lot of non-public builds out there.

Most of the action is in the IRC right now. I'd say about 1/2 of the builds are on the irc only. Some of the best builds are on the irc, or released early with bug fixes in irc. Things have taken off, but it's mostly behind the scenes.

I don't regret getting a shift at all =P

[EVO Shift 4G General] abanh:
I'm rooted but still running the stock rom. The phone runs smoother than the Evo (especially when running live wall papers) and battery life is much better when the phone is in use. I'm not blown away by the phone like when I first purchased the Evo, but I still think the Shift is a better phone. I thought I would miss the bigger screen of the Evo, but the sharpness of the Shift's screen almost makes up for it.

All I'm waiting for in a custom rom is one that has toggle switches in the pull down notification bar.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Shadodragon:
My perception of the Shift is that development does move slower than I had hoped/expected. That's just my perception coming from the Hero. (Not slighting those doing the good work.) However, my "regret" comes from personal tastes.

- I don't need a physical keyboard and the added bulk has started to bug me

- The keyboard slider isn't as tight as I feel it should be, and makes the phone feel a little more cheap that I'd prefer.

- Small design elements bother me (Chrome trim and circles, blue...)

The main "regret" feeling now comes from the Nexus S 4G that's rumored to be announced at CTIA. Likely selling the Shift to pick that up if it's released relatively soon.

Did you remove the plastic from the back? If you did, that's probably why. I left it on and it's pretty tight.

[EVO Shift 4G General] iczerjones:
The Shift is still a young platform, give it time. The EVO has had almost a year head start on the Shift as far as development goes, so it's no surprise that the community would be booming over there.

I too had this same question when it came time to upgrade. As a Hero CDMA user, I enjoyed a fantastic, active community, even for a phone that was based on ARMv6. If a phone of that caliber STILL has a community as vibrant as it is, the Shift is SURE to foster a wonderful kitchen of ROM creation and hacking. We've already got some excellent folks on board (I'm looking @ you NFX!) and more will come as people upgrade their phones.

I much prefer HTC builds to the likes of Samsung. The slide on my Shift is taught and feels solid - I too left the plastic on the back / edges. When the time came to select a phone, I tried everything at T-Mobile and Sprint and the only phone that would have enticed me away from the Shift would have been the G2. That second gen Snapdragon / Adreno 205 rocks my socks. So fast, so smooth.

I love this phone.

(ps. I also did not want a physical keyboard, but I'm falling in love with it, ESPECIALLY when ssh'ing into a box or using the terminal emulator)
