    Seidio > Otterbox

    Looks like Seidio and Otterbox will both be releasing protection for our Sensation 4G devices real soon. IMO, Seidio provides a better product than Otterbox. I've used both, and Seidio to me just seems more stylish for the protection (I'll be buying the Active combo). seidioonline.com

    Listening to VVM through Bluetooth...it works!

    Hey all, Just letting you know that the newest versions of Axura ROM (2.2.7.1 and up) support listening to VVM over a non A2DP bluetooth device. I was quite surprised today when I put the phone up to my ear to listen to a voicemail, only to hear it play through my bluetooth. I updated to...

    Root Video Recorder HD

    After installing a custom ROM, T-Mobile's video recorder HD is obviously not there anymore. Anybody willing to message me the apk file for it?

    Root Which Froyo ROM to choose?

    Hey all, Given the success that most people are having using custom ROM's on their vibrant, I'd like to do so as well. I don't really see a benefit of waiting for and using T-Mobile's version if the current custom one's work just fine (and since I really don't care about having TouchWiz or...

    Accessories Seidio: Coming Soon for the Vibrant!

    Well, it seems as though Seidio will beat Otterbox to the release of a quality case (and other accessories) for our Vibrants. I'm quite excited about this, as I've been exclusively using Seidio Innocase II and Rugged cases for my Blackberry devices for years until I went Android. I have also...

    Hey all, Ever since the JI6 update which I applied manually since the OTA caused problems was installed, half the time I go into photo gallery the device freezes before showing any of the category thumbnails. Anybody else having this issue?

    Application and Widget install directory

    Alright, I'm exposing myself to ridicule here, but I've been searching on the forums and google for days now and can't seem to find this out: Where the heck do most apps and widgets install to on the Vibrant? My /system/app only has maybe 10% of my apps, and only a few widgets...none of which...

    Help "Fully Charged" at 80-85%?

    Hey all, Haven't seen this yet on the forums for the Galaxy S devices. Yesterday and today, my device has been saying it's fully charged when it's only between 80-85% charged. This happens when plugged into the USB cable attached to my PC, haven't noticed it when plugged into a wall charger...

    Help Disabling "Charge Complete" notification completely

    Hi all, I could swear that I've seen a forum for this somewhere around here, but after 30 minutes of searching, I can't find it. What I'd like to do is completely disable any notifications showing that the charge is complete. Reason being, I use Bedside and at roughly 2am the notification...

    Help Disabling boot up animation and sounds

    Hey all, I've read a bunch of threads from here and xda showing how to disable the bootup animation and startup/shutdown sounds on the captivate, but can't seem to find any utilities that will do it for me on the Vibrant. Short of manually renaming the sound files themselves and deleting the...

    WiFi speeds over Barnacle WiFi Hotspot

    So I decided to actually try out Barnacle today, as I've had it installed for a couple days now. Set my options, started it, and connected with an older Acer laptop that a co-worker had at the office. Here are the speeds I got from the local San Diego, CA speedtest.net server... 5.13Mb down...

    Lock 2.0 Issues

    Hey, Couldn't find an answer or similar thread for this yet. Yesterday I installed Lock 2.0 (paid version), and it worked great for an hour or two, but ultimately I had to uninstall it because it kept asking me what I want to use to go "home" when the home button is pushed. It only gives me...

    Alarm snooze only works twice

    Hi all, My wife relies on her snooze very often, and it appears as though her Vibrant only allows her to snooze twice. Any more than that simply will not work. Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Root Questions after root

    Can't seem to find these answers in the Vibrant threads. 1) Once I'm rooted and have applied the lag fix, can I unstall the 1-click lag fix and the Galaxyrooter applications? This is for my wife's phone, and she sometimes lets a 6 year old play with it to use the games. Don't want him to...

    Root Can't seem to boot into recovery mode

    I followed the instructions on the how-to root sticky, but when I power down the device and then hold vol down+up simultaneously and power it back up to get to recovery mode (to root), it boots normally. I've done this 7 times now, with two fingers holding down the volume buttons (one each) and...

    Root New to Android - Negatives of Rooting?

    Hi all, Just wondering what I can expect to lose or notice that's different after rooting my wife's (and my, on Tuesday) Samsung Vibrant. I've been reading lots of threads, and some people have reported apps not working, things different, etc. The only thing I'm looking to apply right now is...

    Root vs wait for Froyo

    Hey all, I'm curious, is Froyo 2.2 supposed to have the lag and GPS fix in it? My wife got her Vibrant 4 days ago and I get mine on Tuesday, so before I go rooting both of them to apply the fixes, I'd like to know if I waited up to a month if it would be fixed anyway in the next update...

    Power Consumption - Post your Results!

    Hi all, I know there are other threads relating to power usage and consumption, but every one of them (that I've seen) has turned into an argument and has strayed way off of the original intended path. If we can get a thread together (and possibly stickied, if it becomes popular) showing just...

    Reception in San Diego - Your Opinions Please!

    Hi all, Two days ago we received my wife's Vibrant from T-Mobile and I'm loving it. I've been a BlackBerry enthusiast for the past 4 years, and this is the only phone that has me SERIOUSLY thinking about switching to the "dark" side. My question is, how do you all find the service to be in San...
