And it looks as there is no front facing camera on this one either. this blows dogs for quarters man. Bottom buttons are different & They also removed the "with Google" branding on the back. I hope this render is not the final t-mobile device. I was really looking forward to a FFC.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a T-Mobile Galaxy Vibrant that was running Android 2.1. I rooted the phone (successfully), and installed Slim Bean 4.2.2 plus Google apps. Everything was going smoothly and I was reinstalling apps and data when I noticed that I had no network phone connection. Slim Beam did not seem to recognize the sim, and I came up empty searching for networks. I removed the sim and put it in another phone, and everything was fine.
I decided to restore the previous android 2.1 (which I had backed up) using ClockWorkMod Recovery. I did restore, then reboot. Now the only thing I get is the initial screen ... Vibrant and Samsung in bold white letters. I have tried repeatedly to launch CWM Recovery, without success.

Someone confirmed it there. This would make this the only other Tmobile branded android phone to work with the cheap data plan other than the Behold 2.
For how long who knows, the behold 2 has been going on for years, but tmo, nor anyone really cared about that phone
I downloaded a kernal on ryans lag fix and then it made my phone get stuck on the VIBRANT SAMSUNG screen so i tried to fix it by using odin, but all it did was make it go to the Galaxy s sign now, any suggestions on how i can fix this? (and also, after the galaxy s sign shows up for about ten seconds or something like that it goes all black and all that stays lit are the home button, the back button, the search button, and the settings button), i need serious help. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3i3nLHXO6gE
View 3 Replies View RelatedThe galaxy s phones were made for high end games. I want to find and try all the high end games for android, so please post which games you found...Here are the high end games I've tried and what I think about them:
Asphalt HD from Gameloft. I really love this racing game. Its on par with racing games made for the psp. I hope they release an expansion pack with more cars/tracks/events. N.O.V.A from Gameloft. A pretty good fps. It kinda reminds me of halo. I wish there was more weapons and enemies/bosses. note: you cant get this game from the market, you have to buy from the gameloft website. Dungeon Hunter from Gameloft. A standard rpg. Im playing this right now. my thoughts so far is that its a pretty good rpg for a phone but pales in comparison to handheld console rpgs. note: you cant get this game from the market, you have to buy from the gameloft website. Hero of Sparta from gameloft. its a hack n slash game. this is the only game from the gameloft hd series that I didnt like so far. I havent tried the other 5 HD games from gameloft but I plan on doing so.
I really want to try all the high end games for android so please any games you have found

Even I got the Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant which is very nice and I still don't know if it's better than IPhone 4 regarding office apps.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI have narrowed it down to the Samsung Galaxies - either Tmobile or Sprint.
I understand that Tmobile has much better customer service ratings in surveys but some say Sprint has improved?
Tmobile phone has 16g internal memory vs sprints 1g(but 16g SD). How important is internal memory size for androids? Some say in 2.2 you will be able to use SD memory for apps so internal isnt as important in the future? I assume these phones will be able to upgrade?
Sprint phone has better features for me - forward camera for video conf, hard keybd, and 4G.- all of which are big pluses for me. When is Tmobile getting 4g and will the phones upgrade?
Trying to find any info on froyo coming out for the vibrant? I have the Samsung Galaxy S from T-Mobile.
View 49 Replies View RelatedRecorded some video at a concert last night and the video came out ok but the audio was way over modulated. Even when I am in a quiet setting and have the phone close to my mouth and try recording video and talk in a normal to somewhat loud voice the modulation is still over modulated. I can't seem to find any way to adjust the audio record level or mic level. Am I missing something? Does anyone else have this issue? Tried the same quiet setting and talked loud into my Blackberry 9700 and no over modulation issue. When talking on the phone with someone they say I sound fine, so what's up? If you have this type of phone and have recorded video and have no problem with the quality of the sound please let me know in case i need to have mine replaced.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWe tried to root it and apply the lag fix via "OneClickLagFix" app (from the Market), and the phone was very fast for about a week, then slowed down SIGNIFICANTLY. Tonight, it just froze and will not boot past the Galaxy S screen. The screen will then go black and the four buttons at the bottom stay lit. We have gone into recovery and wiped the cache but no luck. Have not yet tried to wipe user data.
Transfer all data from internal storage to a separate drive, then wipe phone? If so, will I have to "flash" a stock/custom ROM to get the phone back up?
I've been curious to know which US Galaxy S model has sold the most. Anyone know where one can find such information?

View 3 Replies View RelatedSo we just got our Vibrant, and guess what, in a couple months dual core will be here, and we know how fast time flys.
Honestly, with all this GPS crap going on, I didn't even get to enjoy my soon to be outdated phone.
Samsung will release a new dual core chip, and with graphics that are 5x that of what we have in our phone.

I'm kinda not happy about this, septemeber will be over soon, and those new phones will be 2 months away.
This is also just my opinion, but the slow pace that samsung and T-mobile are going, I bet Android 2.2 will be the last official update T-mobile gives us for this phone.

I am looking for a decent bluetooth headset for my phone in the price range of $25 to $40. Also my past experience with bluetooth headset is that if you put your phone in the pocket the reception gets very poor.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI quickly glanced at those forums, but didn't spend a whole lot of time reading. It seems some people had issues with defective phones that needed replacing, sometimes multiple times. I don't see that as ultimately a problem with the phone though, such as a design flaw that can't be fixed without more R&D.From time to time I see people posting something along the lines of "I'll never buy another Samsung product again" due to lack of support issues, or whatever, on some of the newer phone models. Personally, I had an i730 and it was the best phone you could get during its time.Has anyone closely followed what the AT&T and T Mobile Galaxy S owners are saying?The main gripe I've heard is that there's a GPS software issue for some users, but there's supposed to be a workaround, and supposedly a fix in an update.
View 17 Replies View RelatedI am a little more than one year into my two year contract on T-Mobile with my aging G1. T-Mobile says I can get the Vibrant (Galaxy S) ("plus upgrade fee").I desperately want a faster CPU and a true Android 2.x phone, but I don't know. I almost feel like paying the early termination fee and going for an EVO with Sprint.Seems every option has downsides...
* I've heard Samsung build quality is not the best, and the Galaxy S looks a bit too much like an old iPhone
* The EVO is supposed to not have great battery life
* AT&T cripples their Android devices
* Verizon has the highest monthly fees

Is there anyway I can get into the phone and get the videos and photos from it? They are from a friends birthday and they're very important because they moved away! any help would be greatly appreciated.
what Ive tried several times already is removing the battery and restarting and no go. Ive turned the phone onto samsung recovery mode and it says:

Are there third party battery covers for the Samsung Galaxy S? And will they work for the Vibrant since they look so similar? What I mean by battery cover is the piece of plastic you remove to get to the battery and sim card, maybe also called the backplate. Because all the accessories I see on eBay are just covers for the cover itself. In video reviews, the vibrant has two battery covers that are different. I was thinking of something along those lines so I can swap up battery covers if I get bored of one.
