[Q] Root and Lag fix - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Samsung Vibrant I am wondering if the phone is rooted and the lag fix applied will I still receive updates like the GPS fix and any other updates TMobile and Samsung might send out. When 2.2 is sent out will it install on my rooted phone and remove the root and lag fix I have done.
I have the TMobile MyTouch G4 as well doing a comparison and am leaning back to the Vibrant. Any thoughts?

[Q] Gingerbread on T-mobile Vibrant

I know they released Gingerbread for the Vibrant on other carriers like Bell, but from what I see on the t-mobile site, the t-mobile vibrant never got the update.
What I'm wondering is did anyone get a mostly stock rom working based on the bell update or another update? I don't own a vibrant my roommate does and he asked me to find out since I flash roms to my phones frequently, so I haven't kept up on vibrant development.
He is not really savy with phones and wants to keep the phone working as is, you know with touchwiz as the phone shipped, so cynogenmod is out.
Which is what I'd do if it was my phone.
The bell vibrant isn't even close to the t959 vibrant. It's more like the international galaxy s. There are like 2 or 3 ported gb roms from other phones though, and then there is CM7 and miui.

[Q] How to Debrand a Bell Galaxy Note?

Hello guys just wanted to know how to debrand the note from bell as it is running a little slugishh and i also want to remove all the bell apps without rooting thanks for the help...
What do you mean Debrand it? It litterally has no branding. You're talking about changing the firmware?
It does have branding likeee all the bell apps and stuff all the extra stuff...

Just the word that you used is odd, because branding literally means to "mark" something, or it means a certain type. So automatically when I read the title I was thinking you wanted to remove a carrier logo branded on the phone which it clearly doesn't have.
Anyhow, I digress.
To remove all that just root, get Titanium backup and remove all pre-loaded apps you don't want. This topic has already been discussed and you shouldn't have trouble finding out how to remove those apps.
Check the development section and you'll find more information there.

There hasnt been any update yet. We are all patiently awaiting ICS. (Which will come from our carriers.) The only way I can see you getting rid of the bell bloatware is to either Root the phone and freeze those apps with TiBu. Or Flash a Rom which still requires rooting. Dude if you want them gone you're gonna need to root. However I could be wrong there may be a flashable Odin files that get rid of all the bloatware. Im not sure. Go look in development. I just don't know how to tell you any other way. Also don't know if you know this but the International Version is not tied to any Carrier, You can look into that if you're not happy with the Bell one. I also forgot to mention, I have one on Rogers and Bell. The Rogers one seems to be slightly faster. But I only have 2 to compare so I dunno. Maybe you can always sitch carrier if your contract is new.

I know you do not want to root my man but I will pay you $30 right now to upload the Bell stock system and then you can go right back to the unrooted version. I am desperate!! No Wi-fi hotspot, no NFC, S Planner, AT&T sucks!!
Yea waiting for ics is unpredictable now...

Rooting is your only way afaik with Bell and Rogers. My Telus Note came with ZERO Telus bloatware and I mean ZERO unless I missed something. Luckily, in Canada, Telus, Rogers and Bell did not put their name on the Note like how AT&T removed the Samsung name and used AT&T up on top of the phone. Also WIFI Hotspot (tethering) option is there and not removed. I use tethering all the time to tether to my tablet and several of my Sony Vaios. Lastly, NFC is there and is working.

[Q] Wind software update?...

Went back to stock rom from Wind on Amaze (extracted from RUU 1.45.1500.1) - install went ok.
I know there are a few updates already yet my phone says it's up to date, but phone won't update; in hope that HTC will soon fix the pesky problem with data roaming charges even while it's disabled by default (I'm secretly hoping for OTA ICS upgrade
Is there an official Wind update?

1.46.1500.3 is the latest for Wind as of now
i HIGHLY doubt wind will update anything, considering their a new company, they wont be spending money on updates.
Looks like your question was answered. if there are no further objections...

Verizon G2 on st att network problems

Hi guys,
I know this is an old phone but I just got an old Verizon g2 off eBay to play with because it is easy to run the apps that I'm wanting to run with it. The only problem is that my service sucks now. I got an AT&T straight talk card and am using it but with it I will have 4glte one second and then it'll have no service whatsoever the next. Also when I loose service my phone number and everything disappears from about phone tab. I've tried as many different apns as I could find. What would be the best was of fixing this problem. I monitored my signal to see what happened when I lost it and it said possibly an escfb issue. The phone is a Verizon vs980, running 5.0.2, rooted and busybox. The only other things that I have done to the system besides install some root apps (mostly protesting) is change the system file on hotspot provisions so I can use the hotspot without Verizon. Thanks for the help guys
