Hello everyone, im not one to post much, i bascily find what i need say what i must and im done... I purchased 2 samsung vibrants, made a contract and never been so happy with a phone... A few days after having the phone, i start having issues when trying to make a call... Phone stays in Dialing screen and doesnt go anywhere from there, or goes black, or just drops the call or doesnt make the call at all and goes rightback to the main screen... ALSO!!! text messeges wouldnt go through with a 3g signal full bars... soon after i started having issues with a few programs the sims would give me an error, other aps would get the shakes, freeze, market doesn load , just a black screen... so i called tmobile let them know what was going on.... made us do a reset lost everything on the phones.... waited a few more days same problems again this time we went and got the sim cards changed.... few hours later same thing again... so after we passed the 14 day period to return the phones or what not they gave us a bit of a hassle to have them replaced but they replaced them... Mind you this issues was random and everything happend while having a better then good enough signal... so we get the replacements and a few days later... same issues again... Now my concern is how lucky can i be to get 4.... FOUR!!! not 1... but 4 phones that do the same exact things...
Id like to know how many ppl are having any of these issues besides the gps one... cause tmobile reps keep saying "OH i know "Blank" has this phone and hasnt had any issues at all, we havent recieved many calls about this phone.. " Im sure its Bull but please if any of you have had these issues please post id like to get something done about this cause at this point i love the phone but i cant deal with not being able to use my phone when i want to... Ive taken a few pics of the errors and a video or two but i wanna have something to show inthere face that im not just the only one with this problem and i dont just want a new phone...
My Mytouch 3g 1.2 with cyanogen ran faster, better, and never gave me the issues this phone is giveing me.. its stupid and i dont believe this should be happening...
So please post lol thanks....
p.s.
I know i miss spelled im running late for work and typed in a rush sorry...
RE: Black Screens
It's your phone lagging.
Do you have Facebook or Twitter hooked into your phone.
It's probably updating statuses in the phone app, and that's why it's lagging. When it lags, it starts giving black screens. Happens a lot. If you want to stick with the phone, then some of the knowledgeable modders here can recommend some decent custom ROMs that get rid of much of the lag, and point you in the correct direction.
From what I've read FroYo doesn't fix this issue on Galaxy S phones, though some said the leaked 2.2.1 ROM for the i9k fixes much of it.
RE: Text Messages
T-Mobile's network is pretty bad, I've noticed. I get the failed text messages quite a bit as well.
RE: Shakes and stuff in other apps
See "RE: Black screens" The RFS file system is almost guaranteed to lag any application which accesses the forum, especially if they use a database.
90% of the people here have had the same issues. 80% of them run a custom ROM or Lag Fix, 5% of them are in denial, and 5% of them run such a slimmed down setup that the lag is rare and simply doesn't bother them.
Speaking of which. There are Lag Fixes and Custom ROMs (usually with Lag Fixes integrated in them) that can alleviate much of the Lag. YMMV, however.
HTH.
umm a user error? i wonder how you use your phone..
like when you download apps from the marketplace, do you at the same time to make calls? send texts? or other stuffs while downloading? orr are you multi tasking as lot? web, text, games ? do you even exit on apps ..hmm
and you've been a member since july when the vibrant launched, are you not making this story up? LOL im kidding.. just get a different phone i guess, not a vibrant..
He's past the return period. Read his post.

Check this out, this may be what you need: Internal/External Sdcard Mounting Fix - for all 2.2 roms - *11/20/10*
the SAME EXACT ISSUES WITH ALL PHONES?
Here's what i did before, not to a vibrant, but my g2 when it had a bunch of problems.
After 6 replacements, tmobile told me that they can't trust me anymore. so for this time i went to their store and let them see the problems, they told me they hadn't seen it before (obviously) then i asked if i could TRY OUT another phone in front of them, i took out everything, and put it in the new phone, and same issues.
They told me something was wrong and they'd do something... they went to the back, same back after 10 minutes, and everything was fixed, but they wiped EVERYTHING ON MY PHONE, the sd card etc.

I read it.. do you realize that it's nnot hard to replace the phone on TMobile? Tmo might even offer him a different phone.. it's called customer service and it's not like he bricked the phone anyway.. even if you bricked it they'd still replace it.. are you that oblivious???
I only had my Vibrant running stock firmware for about 2mins so I do not know about your lag. I am using the latest PepperKake rom with the Voodoo lag fix. I do not have facebook or twitter running. Just my email and a PS3 trophy card. I have not seen any sort of lag or freeze.

I've been through 3 of these phones. I don't need tips from you.

N8ter was the most helpful with his first post. JL5 fixed alot of the "lag" issues I had, but the only lag I was experiencing was using my exchange (corporate) connector.
Best bet is to flash to JL5 or a custom rom, or if you dont wish to deal with that return the phone and tell TMO what for.
JL5 "Stock" ROM

then what's the point of you saying "he's past the return period..?" if you yourself were able to exchange it 3 times? can't he do the same knowing he's got faulty devices?
it's funny how some poster above me could praise you and say you were helpful when you cant even help yourself to make your phone become better and learn to like it, but instead you come in here parading your hate about the vibrant...
ughhh.. rolleyes**

You told him to get another phone - which I interpret to mean a different phone, because another Vibrant won't fix his issues, obviously. I've gotten two replacements (both were BNIB basically from the factory, since they were backordered when I put the tickets in).
He's past the return period, so his only choice would be to get a different phone, and those aren't cheap.
Furthermore, carriers (T-Mobile included) are always willing to swap the phone out for a different model to save a contract, but they aren't so dumb that they will let any random user get a free upgrade just because they called in *****ing about phone problems and threatened to cancel their contract (when you ETF, they get their subsidy back).
I know what I'm talking about. I've ETF'd from two other carriers in the past 6 months (Sprint and AT&T, due to poor signal issues) and have had all 4.
You can roll your eyes all you want, miss thing who is obviously a fangirl.
Sorry eveyone i lost my password for a while lol... To update you all on this, i ended up going thru 6!!! vibrants all had the same issues.. i didnt wanna root it i loved it as it was but after argueing with tmo, and samsung i didnt get anywhere with them, they only offered to exchange for the charm, HEll no! ...They WOuldnt exchange it for anything else.. so i ended up canceling the contract. It was cheaper to cancel the contract then to buy another phone at full price like they wanted me to.. it was $400 to cancel the contract plus the month, for the family plan... had i purchased two phones the "mytouch 4g" which is what we tried to get, at full price it was running about 900 to almost 1200 for both phones... havent had any issues with the mytouch ... But whats funny is , they now have the same vibrant phone with 4g service and a front facing camera... could it be they knew the vibrant had issues? so went ahead and remade it /fixed the issues instead of a recall. I saw several ppl everytime i went out who had one and actually ASKED them if they had any issues like i was and YES they did...
Basically in a nut shell Eclair is ****. The phone is awesome . Flash a good Rom and everything will be fine.

that suck, r u able to reproduce the problems in front of the salesperson. i have four and all mine seem fine even when they were stock. they're all running cm7 #105 and seem to run without error -gps.
I've been searching for days now, I can't find any mention of the same problem. So I finally thought I should just ask here...
Both my wife and I have an S3 i9300. Mine is 15 months old, my wife has had her S3 for only three months now. Devices are not rooted. On my previous Galaxy S phone I have mucked about a lot with custom ROMs. but this phone works so well I've not found it necessary to interfere.
However, for some time now, the Device Memory of my wife's phone has been almost completely filled up.
Out of 16 Gb she has about 650 Mb left (my older phone still had 6.3 Gb). So with 4.6Gb of System memory and some Cache and Misc., there's over 10 Gb of "stuff" on her phone. In Android 4.3 (previous, 4.2.1(?) wouldn't even calculate it) the Storage tab told us there was almost 10Gb of photos and videos on the phone as can be seen in the attached photo.
In the Gallery it showed a 1000 Picasa pictures. Too round a number so it might be more. My wife threw those out of Picasa on the PC and afterwards closed the sync options on the phone. Then we stopped the gallery, emptied the cache and deleted the data. Now the Picasa pictures are no longer in the Gallery, there's about 60 pics left in there, Can't be more than 200 Mb. But according to the Storage tab there's still 10 Gb of photo's on the phone! Not only is this phone slower than mine, it sometimes even crashes. We rebooted the phone a number of times.
I can't find those files! They're not in either SDcard, not in the level up from there marked "/" in the file manager. As the phone is not rooted and my wife doesn't want it mucked about with, I can't go further than that.
My phone is a year older and I take way more photo's than her and I have 120Mb of 'em on my phone. Other sections of the memory like the System Memory are comparable to mine in size, or way smaller, like she has less than half the number of apps I have.
My wife is an MD, she uses the phone often for patient calls. She is very dependent on it. So she doesn't want me to muck about with it. Doesn't want it rooted. Also she doesn't look forward to doing a factory reset and reinstalling the lot. Especially redoing the homescreens. She has a lot of them, which seems to work for her, but is timecomsuming to redecorate. Then there's re-freezing the apps Google and Samsung seem to deem necessary to have on there that we don't use. Without option to remove. And it might not even work, since factory reset usually leaves your personal stuff (music, documents, photo's, etc) alone.
Does anyone know how to find/remove these files?
You can use the storage manager in either File Manager or ES File Explorer to see exactly which folders take up the most space.

Is that SD Card Analyst in ES explorer? I'll go take a look.
Double post. Delete won't work? Pressing delete sends me to the edit post window where there is no option to delete.
Yes sd card analyst is another term..

Look here :
Go to /data/media
You should see three folders
0
legacy
obb
Leave these three folders alone and MOVE all the other folders (which you will notice are all your missing folders and files) into the 0 folder. The only folders that should be left behind are the 3 mentioned above.
You will need a root browser to do this
SE analyzer crashes every time. No doubt because the card is so full.
I'll try the "0" method, thanks!
/ Data folder shows empty. No files. I have turned "hidden files" on.
The phone isn't rooted...
I love Android and it's come a long way, but apparently it is still messy.

Like I said in my post you need a root browser to see these files The file explore you are using will not see them because you are not rooted:crying: ...Seriously though you need to root your phone to see and move/remove these files there is no other way.

I guess so... As much as I love android, it still is rather odd that on google android, with a stock samsung phone, upgraded by samsung ota, I need to root it to clean up a mess probably made with a google service... I'll never go Apple, but this wouldn't happen on an iPhone. Otoh, if it did I'd really be sol. Walled up, bunkered in iOS won't let you do anything.
Well, at least I have an idea where to look now.
Thanks all!
I'll go find a rooted kernel and a stock one to get back.

Did you see wat happened to the ios 7 update? Apple screwed it up. Did you see wat happened to apple maps? Apple screwed it up too. Oh. Ios 7 coppied from windows, android and other mobile phones.

I actually own an ipad 4. Didn't notice any more discomfort than usual on it after the iOS 7 update. Yes, there was a bug fix or two, but I had no problem.
Neither do I have a large picasa stash so my phone is fine while my wife's exact same phone is gasping for air. But probably my phone has these stray files cluttering the space as well, but since there aren't as many, I don't notice.
Keep running into walls on the iPad, though, cause of the apple prison. It's a magnificent piece of hardware, but apple treats their customers as infants and most of them seem to love it. I guess if you have no qualm with only doing what the prison guards let you...
I have it for the music apps. Music reading apps, remote control of the digital mixer for my monitor mix. Those things aren't available on android or all the apples in my house would be edible.
I especially hate the absence of Swiftkey on iOS. Or anything similar. Apple keyboard is so stupid. Such a waste of fantastic hardware ...no apple fan here.
But consider this: here we have a google os, being completelly filled up with files by a google service called picasa, and the only way to get rid of it is breaking the warranty on a three month old phone. Or shipping it back to the store where my wife will be going without for weeks. She is an MD, needs it for patient calls away from her own office. Being without a phone for weeks is not an option. It's ridiculous.

Picasa though I have nvr used it, I suppose it works the same way as dropbox? The files dun actually take up place in the phone. And picasa pictures definitely doesn't take up gbs of space.

I thought so too. But the phone says there's 10gb worth of photos and videos on it and I can't find it.
Picasa is all I can think of with this phone. I'm extremely sure my wife didn't take this much photos in three months or at all. Come to think of it, I can't even imagine she had that much in picasa. We do have pretty large Dropbox accounts, but her account doesn't have much photo's. Mine does. I put our entire photo collection on there in my account which is not shared with hers.
I hope I get some time today to root her phone and finally see what it is. I hope I can undo the rooting damage with CF's triangleaway app.

I alr said dropbox do not use ur phone memory even though ur dropbox acc is large. I have over 20 gb used. And my phone is not even half full and it is only 16 gb internal no external. Picasa works the same way as dropbox too. The pics is in the server, not ur phone.

And I said I believed that too. At least I used to.
But unavoidably there is 10Gb of files on the phone.which the storage says are photos and videos. Storage then puts you through to the gallery, where the greatest number of pics by far were in the picasa folders. It's the only place I can figure out where they could have come from. There's nothing else on the phone! And the DCIM folder is empty.
Apparently there is no way to root it and unroot it again without wiping the phone or setting of some protection or counter.... So, whichever way my wife is faced with needing to reinstall and/or configure all her apps again, which will be another couple of hours. She is about fed up with this on android. She had a sgs1 and an sgs note before, and this is the so-many-est time something is wrong with an android phone. If it happens again I'm going iPhone, she says.
Anyway, ill phone the store tomorrow. I don't want to risk the warranty in case anything more serious happens to it. They better tell me what to do.
Thought I'd let y'all know, a factory reset cleared it all up. Her photos and whatsapp messages and some other stuff are gone, but it isn't a big deal. It's a couple of hours work to get the phone back to where it was. Which is a drag. But the phone is nice and clean again now.
So glad I didn't need to root and flash stuff.
Thanks for all the help and I hope this might help others.
Hi, so Ive gotten around securing my phone and privacy with Xprivacy and AFWall+, though theres something im curious about and that its not very much talked about. My doubts are regarding what are the best practices for securing a phone in case of being stolen, im not talking about tracking apps, lets say I dont care I got my phone stolen and dont want to recover it but what I want to is for my data to be safe from the thief.
The more obvious answer to this is encryption but my current htc sensation is painfully slow with it and there are some bugs that make it hard to use and if it can be bypassed by means im unaware of then itd not be worth the problems. Ive asked on other places and never got a straight answer, assuming I encryption is on and usb debugging (its very easy to get around it afaik) is off too how safe would my data be with a simple pattern lockscreen on it? things like accounts, passwords, bookmarks and all that, I know someone can take out the sd card and see everything on it but I dont store anything but music on it anyway. The only way I cant think of is through the recovery but im not sure about it. The thieve can wipe everything from there but thats all he could do I think.
Im also aware of apps like Cerberus and such but I know these people are not dumb and first thing they do is make sure the device is cut out from any external communication, thats why Im asking for other possible solutions..
Hi, i've got some Problem (which isnt a Problem at all for some People..), im planning to sell two Android Phones (Galaxy S4 & S7) on Ebay.
Now that might seem easy as 1 2 3, but im really scared of giving it away to Strangers without knowing that it is safely deleted and nothing is left on it of my private Data. Back in the Days when i was young i sold my Phones after a simple Factory Reset, but now, after some learning and trying around ive seen how easy it is to get old User's private Data restored. I hope u Guys understand what i mean. And no, i dont have and never had or did anything really important or illegal on my Phones, but i dont want Strangers to know what i did with my Phones lately.
How do you Guys safely delete your Android Devices before selling it? - I'm actually curious if i did it right, or not enough or if something is missing. Probably i actually did it "overkill-like", here's what i did already:
1.) Factory Reset.
2.) New flashed System with Updates.
3.) 3-Pass Shredder on all my free Space.
4.) Filled my Phones exactly full with some Dummyfile.
5.) Encrypted the full Phone's Space with maximum Characters, random Passwort with big & small Characters, Numbers and aswell Symbols.
6.) Repeated Step 4.) and 5.) like 5 Times.
7.) Did a last Factory Reset.
So Guys, that's what i did until now. What is your Opinion, is it enough to sell it now? And how do you handle this with your Phones?
Please excuse my bad English and please Excuse if im in the wrong Section, I'm kinda new here.
Maybe this Posting seems a little bit weird to some People, but i really do care about my Privacy and dont want anyone to get a Look into mine.
My ex distroyed my external drive with my phone backup on it. I have rooted my note 4, however i did a factory reset and somehow screwed up the SU app. I have not touched the phone in months, but it appears now I may need to try and recover the original partition, if its even possible. I cannot get my PC to recognize the phone because i cannot seem to enable USB debugging no matter which PC i use. Possibly a result of my screwing up the root?
anyway, first I guess I should start by asking - is it even possible to try and recover an original partition after being overwritten a few times? If it is, and here's another stretch, is there anyone out there who might be willing/able to investigate the possibility with me remotely? alternately, is there anyone you might refer me to who could possibly do this remotely? Im happy to pay for services. My ex is trying to take my kiddo from me and I have no evidence to defend myself without my text history.
thanks in advance for your time.
regards,
J.
Yes and No.Firstly you should consider the fact that Your phone drive has nothing to do with a factory reset.A reset would only wipe data and system partitions.Secondly you should consult a professional because your issue is very serious and I don't want you screwing around.But I can assure you after 3 years of a phone being factory reset many times and using it some tine without filling up the storage fully and running a data recovery software I was able to retrieve my brother's old photo.That he took while buying the phone.So There is a lot of chance you can get them back just contact a professional.
