    4G speed

    If there are any St. Louis area lurkers here, please chime in and tell me what kind of download speeds you're getting. Just got the S2 and love it, way better than my Vibrant; but I'm hugely disappointed in its speed. Coverage map shows massive magenta where I live and work, but my download...

    Help she runs hot

    Lately my year and a half old Vibrant has been running hot and eating battery. Sites don't load etc. I've changed batteries, so it's not a battery issue and, anyway, the heat is from the top of the phone, not over the battery. Has anybody had this issue?

    Amazon Video

    Very interested in the Thrive. I'm fairly heavily invested in Amazon Video, got some season passes etc. On my Android phone, I can play Amazon vids from the website thru the stock browser as long as I click on on "full website" on the player page. Safe to assume the same procedure will...

    Help do 32gb micro sd cards still work?

    Since the Froyo update, the 32gb Sandisk class 2 Micro SD card in my Vibrant apparently no longer works. I was getting constant low database storage messages. So I wiped the card on my PC (physically deleted it) and then formatted it in the phone. The card on the PC will accept data -- an...

    Help Can't connect to computer anymore

    Just tried to connect my Vibrant to my PC for the first time since the Froyo/Kies update. Nothing happens. I've tried with and without debugging, I've rebooted the phone and the PC. I'm running Vista. Any ideas? (This figures, I had planned to finally root/ROM my phone tomorrow.)

    lockscreen and notifications

    I've been reading the forums and browsing the market and haven't seen exactly what I've been looking for for my Vibrant. I want to be able to see the notifications without unlocking the device. Is there such a lockscreen and/or notification app that would let me either pull down the...

    Help re-lagfix?

    Has anyone reinstalled ryan's lagfix since the update? My phone was nice and zippy after the update, but it seems to be getting laggy again -- not as bad as pre-update, but still a little laggy. I'm concerned that the update changed file structure or something that the existing lagfix would...

    Root Problem installing lag fix

    I had to reset my phone to solve a GPS crashing problem. Prior to the reset, I had successfully installed Ryan's one-click lag fix, and my phone was a demon. After the reset, I noticed the SU was left behind, and when I did Ryan's rooting step, it told me the phone was already rooted and that...

    Help Navigation crashes phone

    First it was every now and then, now it's every time I fire up the GPS and go into Maps or Navigate. Phone crashes -- screen goes black, it reboots itself. Has anyone else seen this?

    5.1 sound

    On the stock media player, the 5.1 sound function can be used only if sound effects are off. But I'm not seeing any way to clear all the buttons in the Equalizer and Effect menus. Is there a setting I'm missing?

    navigation and music player

    I discovered today that music will not play in the background while using GPS navigation. I figured that if music was muted for a new e-mail ding, that it would be muted for the GPS lady. Is there a setting to make this work?

    Gmail and contacts sync

    A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. I didn't understand the choices (save on SIM, phone or Google) when I created my phone contacts. About half came from GMail. But the other half either came from Facebook etc, or were created on the phone -- and saved to the phone. I can't find a way to...

    SD/SDHC capacity

    I'm just about to pull the trigger on a Vibrant but have come across an inconsistency. Reviews have said the Vibrant will accept up to a 32gig SD card; but the manual I'm plowing through says capacity is 16. If 16 is the limit, it could be a deal killer for me. Is it 16 or 32? thx!
