    Upgraded to 2.2, now always get annoying sound on phone start up

    I put 2.2 on my phone yesterday via Samsung's crappy Kies app. It's working okay, except I always get a start up sound now. Settings > Sound > Silent mode is on. How do I turn off the start up sound? It's loud and obnoxious. Thanks.

    Root How much for a gently-used Vibrant?

    I am seriously tempted to sell my Vibrant to get a G2 for retail price. I love the idea of physical buttons again... I miss the camera shutter button, keyboard, etc. And I have felt the G2 in person and love the heft/sturdiness/metallic case for it. What do you think I could get for my Vibrant...

    Help How do I turn off the History in the Contacts/Groups/Updates area?

    I was alarmed to find this morning that my entire text message history was still stored in this History tab of the contacts/dialer tabs, despite having deleted all my text messages. I manually deleted the whole set, but I could not find a setting to stop storing this information. Ideas? If I...

    Non-iTunes file sync?

    This has probably been asked before, but I can't find it. So I have a folder of MP3s on my laptop, and the same MP3s on my Vibrant. If I want something that would sync the two -- delete from laptop and it delete from phone, add to laptop and it adds to phone, etc. -- what's the best app for...

    Is it possible to charge the phone with a generic micro USB cable?

    I bought this from Monoprice: "USB 2.0 A Male to Micro 5pin Male 28/28AWG Cable - 3ft" hoping to charge the phone away from home by plugging it into a computer. But all I get is an option to mount the SD card as a drive to copy files. It doesn't seem to be able to charge the phone. Do I need a...

    Is it possible to upload video over 3G?

    I don't know if this is TouchWiz/OEM software getting in the way, or a limitation of Android 2.1, or what. But when I try to upload a video I've taken, it's forcing me to upload using WiFi. My 3G connection is not too bad (approx. 75 kilobytes/sec), so I wouldn't mind waiting a couple minutes...

    Burning rubber smell with official T-Mobile gel skin

    That's right. I picked up the gel skin at a T-Mobile store today. Charging my phone tonight when I smelled a burning rubber type scent. Lovely.

    Help How to stop vibration when battery is finished charging?

    I keep my phone near my head on my bed, since I use it as an alarm clock. Unfortunately the Vibrant is vibrating at the end of the charge cycle, which is distracting when I'm trying to fall asleep! I can't find a setting to turn this off. I have haptic feedback turned off. I keep the phone in...

    Case for Vibrant other than through Ebay (shipping from Hong Kong = slow)

    Does anyone know of U.S. suppliers of a gel / silicon case for the Vibrant? My local T-Mobile store only ordered three of them (not smart). I see a number of them on Ebay, but they seem to all come from Hong Kong, so I'd be looking at two weeks of shipping to the U.S. Thanks!

    Got my Vibrant today!

    UPS finally delivered it. I upgraded from a G1 (the original Android phone, represent!). Thoughts so far: Pros: Amazing screen. I can see why they put Avatar on to demo it... huge, bright, saturated, great contrast. Super thin and light Camera quality is a giant step up... pointing it at a...

    Good case for Galaxy S?

    I opted not to pay the monthly charge for insurance, so I want to get a case. I think a rubberized/silicon molded case would be best. I don't see any after a quick search of Amazon. Anybody know of a good one? I'm also gonna put a Zagg Invisishield on it.

    T-Mobile rip off price on the Vibrant

    I went to the store today. I am 13 or 14 months into my contract. The best they could do was $340 *and* it renews my contract. What!? I could pay the ETF, go over to Sprint and pay $199 for an EVO at that rate. Ridiculous. Their service rep on the phone told me $265.

    Have a G1 on T-Mobile, thinking about Galaxy S/Vibrant

    I 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) for $265 ("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...
