I just got my Tmobile Galaxy S5 last week. I upgraded from the S2 and this is a very nice jump. The phone is remarkable. Unfortunately though, I really miss the "Driving Mode" from the S2. It would announce incoming emails, incoming texts, phone calls etc. as well as the sender on texts and...

I just discovered that I cannot send SMS picture messages to my Google/Vibrant contacts directly using my contact list to address the message. On the other hand, if I address the SMS picture message with the phone number (without parentheses which are stored on Google) the picture message will...

I just connected to Mini Kies and it says Upgrade available! I'm downloading now. Will advise.

Since receiving a (brand new) warranty replacement (mfg date 10/20/10) I have been enjoying the Vibrant like never before. I was surprised and dismayed when, all of a sudden, it began draining battery power like crazy. I checked the task manager, nothing was running. I went into Startup...

I've posted this elsewhere but I think this deserves it's own thread because I have just found independent validation that it appears that Samsung may have made some hardware improvements in the Vibrant. These improvements may possibly range from an improved GPS antenna to improved contacts...

I recently had to contact Tmobile Customer Service/Technical Support regarding a problem on my Vibrant. The problem was solved, beyond my expectations, but that's the subject of another post. I've had to call in even before my recent problem for plan questions, etc. I noticed inordinately...

Let me start by saying I don't have one of these, but for those that do a lot of typing with their Vibrant this may be a good solution. $20.80 shipped seems like a bargain, if you need one. It is a 49 key compact, rechargeable, wireless/bluetooth QWERTY keyboard for Android (et al) phones...

Like several others I noticed my battery usage increase noticeably after doing the initial JI6 (single .TAR file) update with Odin. My battery would go from 100% charge to anywhere between 70 to 80% of full charge overnight - with no usage, just sitting on standby. I then tried switching from...

I may have found a bug with JI6. :( I power cycled to phone and lost my Bluetooth device pairing for 3 items. This shouldn't happen, at least it hadn't done this with JFD. Anyone else?

This is the OTA JI6 not leaked, etc. It's super easy, don't be intimidated but DO read and follow the step by step instructions. rhcp0112345 over at XDA has posted the OTA update JI6. Remember rhcp0112345 spent time and money to bring this update to us so it would be a nice gesture to donate $1...

I thought it would be interesting and useful to see where and when people are getting their JI6 system update on their Vibrants. I for one am curious where the "waves" are rolling in. My intent with this thread is to find out who is getting the OTA JI6 update, when they are getting it and...

Has anyone actually actually installed a 32GB Micro SDHC card in their Vibrant yet? All of the reviews and unboxing videos I've seen have claimed a 32GB card capacity for the Vibrant yet, as we know, the manual states the maximum card capacity is 16GB. Anyone try this yet and know for sure?

Just curious what everyone is doing for an upgrade to the Micro SD card. I would like to go with a 32GB class 4 (minimum class 4) upgrade. So far I haven't been able to find a suitable upgrade. I don't want to get a 16GB now only to have to upgrade again later. I'm trying to stick with known...

If you are in an area where the 3G signal is weak or not available it will seriously drain your battery. A 3G phone on a 2G network will substantially boost its power "looking" for a faster 3G tower. You can go to Settings/Wireless and Networks/Mobile Networks then click on "Use only 2G...
