I'm guessing its not download but the help I just bricked my vibrant and need odin screen.
It's not new, it's not download mode, it is the "you FUBAR'd something" screen. Get Odin and get into DL mode and you should be able to fix the problem.
You get that when you turn off the phone during Odin.
Take the battery out. Plug the usb cable into the phone and computer. Hold the volume buttons, and put the battery back in. You should be in download mode and ready to use Odin again.
Thanks guys for the help I figured that out myself and is why u put the edit /thread on that post

Ok Looking for some help to see if anybody know how to reset the horizontal calibration on this phone.
I flashed a new ROM yesterday and when I went to set the calibration after I pressed the horizontal calibration and green circle centers it will shoot off to one side once it's finished which and forces everything to be in landscape mode. The only way I can get the phone to not stay in a constant landscape mode is to off the auto rotate function.
It wasn't the ROM because after several downloads and flashes (thinking something may have not downloaded or installed right) it kept doing it. Trying other ROMS gave the same results. ODIN back to stock gave the same results.
Has anyone ever had to reset this or have any other suggestions on how to go about correcting this problem?
Thanks in advance
Just lay the phone down on its back and push calabrate horizontal in the gereral settings

LOL thanks but that is the problem, when I push calibrate the green circle brings the ball to the center and when it finishes the ball shoots to the right side and stays there. not sure if its a hardware or software problem but it happens no matter what I try do do. I even odined back to pure stock hoping it would reset it but no luck so far.
Just to clarify, when it's done calibrating and still lying on a flat surface, the green ball moves?

Yes, the green ring brings the ball to the center and when it's done calibrating that you get the little pop up "calibrated" the ball will shoot to the right side of the screen. Iv'e look all over the internet for a solution and downloaded some apps that monitor sensors, looks like the horizontal axis seems to almost stuck in that position. I was hoping a reset of some kind may do the trick but there seems to be no way of resetting the accelerometer on these phones. Vertical axis is working just fine according to the sensor apps I have tried..
Sounds like a hardware problem. Has the phone been dropped or jarred in some way?
Actually I dropped it a distance of about 6 inches while sitting on my desk at work. The phone landed on my desk, it slipped out of my hands while I was rebooting it. It's got that thick T-Mobile rubber cover around it so it's well protected but who knows guess stranger things have happened.
It sounds like your going to have to send it back to Samsung to get it repaired.

You are absolutely right about that, good thing for insurance and being a T-Mobile customer for 5 years. They are sending a replacement phone 100% free of charge even though I've had this phone since day one of rollout.
Hey... what could be happenin with my vibrant? if i open a keyboard on a grey screen (like msn talk or.. something grey ), the keys remainds for a little bit (not at full color, just the silhouette). It's not annoyng but.. i think that not all phones do this
Check for burn in.... I am getting my vibrant replaced within the next week (when they send it) because of a large C on the middle of the screen.... It only shows on grey or brown screens... Go to the market and search for jscreenfix and download it and there is a screen checker too.... Best of luck

but is not a burn in.. because i try with all screen testers.. and there's not any burn image.. just a second when i put the keyboard or something on a grey color screen
My phone did something similar, i was test my gps after doing the GPS Fix. Was using GPS Test by Chartcross. and i let it sit for maybe 20-30 minutes, cause i forgot about it, and when i went to close the app, the image was burned into the screen, took atleast 5 minutes for it to clear up. Is this the sign of the AMOLED's degrading? Cause thats what i read about them before i bought this phone that the organic material in the display is prone to degradation.
If this is the case, phones only, what 8 months old? if this keeps up, my screen might fail before my upgrade is due.
you have to go with hours of use not months. Either way, sometimes amoleds can be slow in clearing images that are on the screen along time especially, if the the phone is always being used. To question a burn in image you need to test for that specifically
Sometimes (about half the time now) when i try to unlock my screen the touch won't work. Some of these times (what was just occurring at first) it will unlock and then the screen will "jitter" and select random things while not responding to my touch, other times it just wont respond or do anything. Originally i thought that this was just a problem with the stock rom but i have boot strapped and flashed joker's new rom and it's still having the problem. Should i be contacting Motorola to gave them replace my phone?
Other info:
I have in pocket deselected.
RUNNING 198_7
Using widget locker, but i think it happens with out it
Launcher pro
Thanks for the help!
Edit:
So I figured out that the top left of my screen isn't level with the rest. When the problem starts to happen I turn off the screen, compress the top left corner and the problem is gone for half a day to a day. So... that's cool... at least it is still under warranty.
I found the it happened to my phone ALOT when connected via USB to the computer and after I cleaned the screen off with glass cleaner when I ran the multi-touch test for the 8-point touchmod.

I've seen it happen on my hero with bad usb cords but this is happening when not plugged in. I've also never used glass cleaner on it or the multi-touch test on the photon.

So I was using my phone and just set it down and it started freaking out and going into things before the screen even shut off. Should I check out the multi-touch thing to just see where my touch points are or can I do some type of calibration?

I haven't ever put 8 point touch on my phone. I could try to flash it though and see if that does anything.
Sent from my Photon 4G
I would up with a similar issue on my Evo, and I wound up having to get a new one. Not sure if the Photon is gonna be the same, but that was how my phone was sadly. Let us know if the eight point touch helps or not.
So everything looks fine on the multi-touch but i cant get the program up while my screen is freakin out so it kinda defeats the purpose. Jokers skinny 4g doesn't have 8 touch point mod correct?

No not that I know of.

So I got the multi up while it was freakin out. There was a point toward the top of the screen (the edge of the touch "disc" was touching the edge of the screen) that stayed where it was but just jittered left to right. The really weird part is that my second touch point could not go above it. This has to be a manufacturer flaw as far as I'm concerned so when I have time I'm going to call Motorola.

Its an issue with charging. Just unplug it if it gets annoyingly useless

I would agree as I've seen something similar with my Heroc. The problem is it happens all the time when it's unplugged... the micro USB could be haunted with an evil ghost charger... I'm not sure what the exercisium protcol is for that.

Cut out some paper to the exact size of your screen. Draw something cool on the paper. Whenever you turn your phone on, put the paper in front of the screen.

Epic !!!!
i think everytime you write stock you mean stuck
think you get boot loops
if you know how to use odin, format system data cache partition using cwm and flash stock rom using odin.

do u have a screen protector on it?? cause i saw that for some people it was the screen protector messing with the sensor..
If I were you I'll just take it back where ever you got it from and get a new 1

Well, for the red square flashing....that's a setting in developer options. Make sure "strict mode enabled" is unchecked. And as far as the screen not turning back on after a call or during.....like the other guy said, do u have a screen cover?? That could be a cause.
Troubleshoot your problems before you prematurely freak out and return this awesome phone.
