IMO, if it's not too much trouble I'd take it back. Two reasons -

1. It's gonna be a pain using it with the sticky screen. It was very frustrating for me, especially when typing emails or on forums. At one stage I stopped using it and started looking around for another tablet.

2. Why should you get something that clearly isn't working when you've paid good money. Unless the store from where you bought from had a notice saying "Anything purchased here is at the risk of the buyer", you are well within your right to return it.

If you do decide to go back, this time insist you want to test it in-store and if it doesn't work you want full refund.

Good luck.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cconnell11:
Hi,

I'm having an ongoing problem with my Vibrant not locking onto satellites. I've tried every trick, mod and software update I could find to no avail. After visiting Samsung's web site I saw that every time somebody asked a question about the GPS not working, Samsung's response was that it's a hardware problem and to send the phone in for repair. So I did and this is what happened......

1. I call and give them the exact problem I'm having. That the phone will not see let alone lock onto a real satellite. She emails me a 2day shipping label. I taped a note to my phone also detailing the problem for the tech to see.

2. I get an email a week later saying that they're shipping my phone back to me and this is what they did (Copied from the actual email).....

Original Problem:

Technical Inquiry

GPS

Acquiring Location

Problem found:

DROP CALLS

SW,PRL,OTSL RESET

Solution:

Passed All Functional Testing

After Google'ing what SW,PRL,OTSL RESET meant and finding out that it's just software resets, I called Samsung support back. I asked them if and why the hardware wasn't repaired and reminded them that their web site, in many places says that it's a hardware problem and to send it in for repair and that my phone NEVER DROPPED CALLS. She states that it tested ok and to wait and see. She then tells me that if I receive the phone and still have the same problem, they will find another solution so I wouldn't have to send my phone in again.

3. I received the phone last night. I put my sim and battery back in and turn on the phone. I did nothing but add my gmail account back in so I can download GPSTEST from the Marketplace. After doing so I walked outside and sure enough, after 10 minutes, no satellites. Nothing. This morning I called Samsung and to make a long story short, after talking to level three support, they tell me all they can do is have me send the phone back again.

Here's my problem with Samsung.... I followed their direction and sent my phone in for repair. I twice gave them the EXACT problem I was having. Their own website states that there is a HARDWARE problem. So instead of fixing the exact problem, they find a totally different problem to "fix" instead. They never touched the actual hardware or fixed my problem. They won't take responsibility for their error and find a solution that works. They tell me they don't replace phones, only repair them so they can't send me another phone. They won't even send me a overnight shipping label so I will only be without my phone for 5 days instead of 10. The only solution to my frustration he can offer was to give me an address to send a letter of complaint.

I'm done with Samsung. Is there anybody who can offer a solution to my GPS problem. From what I can tell, it is a hardware problem. Are there any fixes out there or do I just have to get another phone (It'll never be another Samsung)?

Also.. What other recourse with Samsung do I have? It doesn't sit well with me that I just have to accept their excuses and policies that do more for them than the customer.

Thanks
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankwhitten:
I had the same issue and I just had them send me a replacement. Just go through the live chat on your account, choose the warranty/exchange option, and then tell the rep that you tried all the fixes and updates and nothing works. It took about 15 minutes before the person said they would replace mine. Also, I would talk like you know more about the phone than they do.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VICosPhi:
Hope Samsung didn't break your gps connector tab ;)

Gps is a hardware issue on vibrant and the best you can get is 25 feet accuracy and 30 sec lock times mostly.

In your case, you do need a replacement that can at least do this much

Did you try the self hardware fix in this forum? Worked wonders for me and many others.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmandel:
Was this with Samsung or T-mobile?

I had much the same experience with Samsung as cconnell11. I last talked with Samsung a month before 2.2 was available. They assured me that 2.2 would fix it, and there was no point sending it in since they didn't have a repair procedure for it and it would come back the same way it was. I asked what would happen if 2.2 didn't fix it. They said all I could do would be to send a complaint letter.

Naturally 2.2 didn't fix the GPS. I'm thinking about what to do next.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyberpyr8:
I tried the hardware fix today and I still do not see a big improvement. I have gotten mine down as low as 6 meters but no less. My old MT3G would get really accurate compared to the Vibrant. I have more issues with Wifi than I think I do GPS. I adjusted both antennas this morning but my wifi still isn't stellar. I wish Samsung and T-Mobile would just send you a replacement phone up front and repair your phone and re-use it as a replacement after they repair it. The whole 2 day shipping thing sucks when you need your phone for work.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VICosPhi:
Wow I only get 10m accuracy most of the times. I know other phones can get upto 6 ~ 9 feet
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RCinFLA:
You can check here http://www.n2yo.com/whats-up/?c=20 to see what satellites are in your view.

If you get a different set you will have zero chance of locking on. If you show no sat numbers initially you are getting no or incorrect GPS assist to give you at least almanac info. If that is case try GPSrestore.

Do you get any grey bars on GPS test app? They need to be greater then 30 db/No to get initial data lock. It appears that Broadcomm GPS firmware does not report any sat lock until at least 3 satellites are locked enabling a 2D fix.

The only significant HW issue reported is the antenna contact. If for some reason the GPS TCXO calibration value has been lost it could take a very long time to get a lock, maybe never. Once it does it will establish a new TCXO calibration value which is then saved for future use. GPSrestore may retrieve factory firmware stored TCXO calibration.

GPSstatus does a network request for assist data that should get you at least correct sats to look for. Use WiFi if you have it with GPSstatus. Just use GPSstatus for assist download, then close and open GPS test.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjkmadison:
I have not tried any of the hardware fixes (yet), but have tried the software reset from Samsung with not much change. When I notice that my GPS is having a hard time locking, I turn off Wifi and it locks almost instantly. I can then turn Wifi back on and it seems to keep a lock.

As an example, I can have a lock/see of 0/2 in "GPS Status" app for minutes. I turn off wifi, wait about a minute and get have 5/12. After turning wifi back on (after lock), I still have 5/12.

By comparison, my Galaxy Tab quickly goest to 7/10 with or without Wifi on.

Accuracy (according to Google Maps) is 10m on the Vibrant and 4m on the Tab.

I am thinking that my new golf GPS app is not going to be too useful with only a 10m accuracy.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iwasblown:
thank me later

buy a bluetooth gps receiver such as globalsat bt-359 or any sirfIII or better. Next download bluetooth gps provider from the app market. let their powers combine and you vibrant may become a fully functional gps with the purchase of onboard gps vavigation. hehe
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cconnell11:
My solution

Since originally posting this I've tried the bending the pins up hardware fix to no avail. If I'm outside with a clear sky GPS status shows several satellites and after about 5 minutes will lock onto maybe three or four of them with about 10m accuracy. Maintaining that lock though is tricky. If I get into the car, it looses it. If I turn the phone upside down and have the bottom face the sky I get a lock on 7-10 satellites with about 7m accuracy. Either way it isn't good enough and I found a new problem. Google Maps just doesn't work with the default settings. It locks the phone up no matter what updates you've done. I fixed that though by changing the Operation Mode to MS Based and the Server FQDN Type to AUTO Config. Now it doesn't lock up and works fine with the exception of the GPS problem. I looked at the Samsung car cradle and noticed that it holds the phone sideways so the internal GPS antenna is facing the sky. This should work great but I don't want it attached to my windshield.

My main problem is that I want to use the phone for Geocaching like I did with my LG Optimus. That was a great phone and the GPS was accurate to 5m consistently. So I went ahead a bought a bluetooth GPS receiver. After a lot of research I decided that the Gosget SB-369 was the best option and it was only $30.00 online. This thing is great. I get a good steady lock on 7-10 satellites with 3m accuracy. This is perfect for Geocaching and was better than my Magellan when it worked right (don't buy anything Magellan). It has a hole in it and is small and light enough to be worn around your neck with a lanyard while Geocaching. You could also just put it in your pocket. It's antenna isn't a standard patch type. It's internal, but round and omni-directional and maintains the same lock no matter what way it's facing. I would recommend this to anyone who needs good accuracy for things like golfing and Geocaching.

I'm going to use this as a solution. I get great accuracy that I need at the expense of having another little gadget to carry.

Question is, where do my current backups stand? Will I be able to use them?? Please help, thanks.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Perceval from Hyrule:
Officially, you can't backup anything and all your data will be lost. If you were careful (maybe you did ?), you would use Titanium Backup and xRecovery to do full backups, but now you've messed everything up, it's not even safe to do a backup of a corrupted system...

To reflash, use Pc Companion or SEUS. You can also (not recommended) use custom flashers you can get from developping section...

Hi All

Is there a way to have the dailer suggest your contacts like on other Android devices? An example would be if you had a contact named "Sam".. you would just enter "726" on the dialer and Sam would be an option for you to select. Very handy, but seem to miss it on CM6.

Let me know if there are any solutions

Cheers!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] zeppelinrox:
Other android's dialers do this?

That's a feature that I miss from blackberry.

You just start typing somebody's name...

My brother paid for a dialer that does this.

Called atakephone or something like that.

There is also a pretty active thread for a dialer in the android apps forum here but i don't think that it's free either.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] shtewps:
Thanks for the response! Do you have a link to that thread?

Im using the HTC DHD as well and it does exactly that.. I know the BBs do it too. Such a practical feature.. I could have sworn it was native to Android but now I'm thinking this may be HTC specific.

Hi Everyone,

I was able to successfully install honeycomb on my NC and it runs surprisingly well. My only problem is that when I check the available storage the internal memory only shows .92GB of total memory, is this normal? This was only my second attemp at rooting an android device so it is very possible that I may have missed something in the process but I thought I was pretty thorough. Can someone tell me how much internal memory should be available after a fresh install of honeycomb on the NC? Also if I have done something wrong can someone point me int he direction or correcting my mistake? I'm guessing I need to reformat, repartition the internal SD card and reinstall honeycomb. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I'm running the deeper blue V4 honeycomb rom Using Clockwork mod 3.0.0.5 from SD card.
[Nook Color General] LotusEve:
I am having the same problem. I used a 16GB SD card. After writing image to it, it shows on my computer as 109MB free of 115MB. I plug it into my NOOK. Under Storage SD card, it shows total space of 1.25GB and available space of 1.14GB. This is without the market installed.
[Nook Color General] luigi90210:

[Nook Color General] LotusEve:
Thank you. So that means doesn't matter how big the SD card is, the size is determined by /data and can't be changed because of the build?
[Nook Color General] Thirtybird:
The fix to this is in the HC SD card thread. Take the care out, plug it back into the PC you wrote it from, and run EASUS partition manager to extend partition 4 (data) to fill the remainder of the SD card. my 8 GB card wound up with ~6GB data partition

[Nook Color General] rudegus:
I think there might be some confusion here, at least on my part. The fix you suggested seems to be for fixing the partitions on an external SD card. I am running HC off of the internal memory and have this problem. I can use the NookColorUMS app and mount the data partition so that it shows up in disk management in windows but I am unable to manipulate the partition so I cannot edit it. I also have a partition called "Media" which is 5GB. It seems that I need to move those 5 GB over to the data partition but I cannot figure out how to accomplish this.

Just yesterday I finally flashed Bonsai ROM 3.0.1 based off of EB13 from DK28. I noticed this morning at work that my WIFI was not working. Tracing it back to our DHCP server, I noticed that my MAC was requesting an address via BOOTP now. Our DHCP servers are set to deny BOOTP and allow only DHCP. My home network DHCP server does allow BOOTP and I get WIFI at home just fine. Do I just re-flash or has there been a change? This doesn't seem like a flaky problem that can be cleared up by a re-flash, this seems pretty specific.

Hi guys & gals,

In a span of 23 years of architectural practice, I have come to realise that different age groups relish/appreciate different color groups. Elderly people would love to have softer paler colors while pre-teens & teens are open to any color & any mix of colors. While men prefer warmer ones, Women prefer pinks, pastels, magentas & mauves.

Each age group/sex tends to prefer a certain part of android market/life.

Before I finalize my two ROMs, I am now taking requests from anybody/everybody what they would prefer. You also need to mention your age, sex & profession.

I am NOT asking for firmware requests or theme requests. I am asking for color requests + if possible how & in what way you you use your SGS best.

14/3 - I have short-listed a few color schemes for you.

1 - All Greys.

2 - Light Pink + Blue.

3 - Seagreen + Navy Blue.

4 - Yellow + Dark Greys.

5 - Orange + Deep Red.

What do you say?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] compuse:
Monochrome is the best!

I always use a black background en white symbols, .. my agenda, clock, shortcuts and even the weather is in white! :)

Good idea there mate. I am a teen reaching adulthood, male, and I like lighter, relaxed color scheme. Think Go Launcher "cartoon" theme or MIUI. It's nice and the graphics looks consistent. I like more flat, than 3D. Think Gingerbread instead of Froyo. I always like my homescreen to be colourful, basically combination of cyan, orange and green.
