First off sorry if this has been both asked and answered already, but has anyone noticed that the Epic 4g software (2.1 firmware) seems to be lag free and runs a million times smoother than the Vibrant software out of the box? I'm even on stock 2.2 jk6 and still the Epic runs smoother on the stock 2.1 rom. Isn't the Epic 4g a Galaxy S phone? If so, why would the Epic 4g run smoother if the software and hardware (minus vga front camera, keyboard and led flash) are the same? Once again thanks and sorry if this has been answered in the past.

I hope no one is offended, upset, etc. hopefully someone has an answer/theory as to why the Epic's rom is faster than the Vibrant's.

Can I install a Captivate ROM on a Vibrant and get AT&T's 850MHz 3G? Or is it more hardware related?
I just like the look of the vibrant over the captivate...
High there. I have both the Captivate and a unlocked Vibrant on AT&T...I hate to say it but I believe the problem is hardware related.

Yea, go to any area with "4g". I get upwards over 5 mbps down where I live.

Depending on what you consider 4G....

4g is a hardware difference, not software. The regular vibrant does not support 4g, but it does benefit from it since T-mo's towers are updated, therefore putting out more data, resulting in you being able to reach max DL speeds - hopefully 6 to 7 megs, which in my opinion is plenty.

this thread is getting interesting. if its really true that the vibrants chip really does support 14.4mbps but is soft capped,then this could be a break through in development.

The vibrant 4g will give us all kinds of goodies. We'll see.

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I was thinking that the ONLY thing we need to do to get 4G from our 3g+ vibrant is to flash the 4G vibrant modem , when we have one.
The phone itself is locked to what frequencies it can use as well as what technology by the antenna, AND the modem. T-Mo is NOT going to spend millions on new technology that half of its phones cannot utilize, hence why our 3G vibrants have access to "3.5G", which is technically "HDPA", and not "HSDPA", right? The new 4G tech is all ip based, so all the phone would need is a properly encoded modem file to get it to work.
I mean think about it guys, does anyone own an analog race scanner? If yes, have you ever tried to tune into the digital frequencies? You get a modem-like digital noise out of it, because your radio lacks the software to decode the signal properly.
It sounds plausible in theory I suppose, but I can guarantee you this, IF it's possible xda-dev WILL be the first to know, I know I'll be trying it as soon as I see a modem upload!
Master tweeted that there were several 4G icons in the KA6 leak... Curious if it's the Vibrant + leak?
Where can I get the ka6 leak? Does ne1 no if it has the 4g

Flashable via ODIN or CWM.
As far as the 4G, I hope someone else who has played with the KA6 can opine. I literally just flashed the new modem like 2 hours ago. I do not notice an increase at my desk here at work, but I have not gotten to play with it outside where the signal is stronger. Fastest I've seen on my phone is with JL1, and that was just under 6mbps down practically standing underneath a tower.

as far as 4g goes, theres been a rumor that the chip in the vibrant is capable of handling 14.4mbps but is soft capped. theres a whole thread abt this rumor. mainly someone did a complete tear down of the i9000 and looked up the chips part # and specs. since the i9000 and vibrant is almost identical,its believed that the vibrant may also contain the same chip. whether this is true or not,no one will know until someone does a complete tear down of a vibrant. as of now,the vibrant can only go up to 7.2mbps .
I want to flash but I think I am gonna wait til some1 can verify thats its faster and everything.

I loss all hope on 4G is not because of having it or not,i was happy with the 4MB mine was getting,but 4G on my Vibrant mean that i will get even faster to the capping line of Thief-Mobile.

Thank you for your concern eltormo. I'm sorry that you are upset about T-Mobile's ability to throttle your services at their whim. Your contract Terms & Conditions are open-ended, leaving tmo the ability to provide you as little data as they want. You technically are not being capped. It's frustrating to all of us, but as it stands, it is still the best offering out there.
All that being said, your post is irrelevant to this thread topic, so please take it back to the [THINK TANK] thread you were on earlier if you would like to complain about throttling.
In case you lost your way: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=872570
^^ that's funny!
I dont see how the speed of what you download effects, how much you download? Cap or throttle... Blah blah, more speed is a good thing. I for one hope that the vibrant does have the 4g chip, not just for obvious reasons, but it would be awesome to see what would happen in the general section. :gets popcorn ready: Then again I'm not holding my breathe.
Hi guys, my poor mom has been sticking it out with the original MyTouch 3G ever since it came out in the summer of 09 and its time for her to upgrade.
I'm strongly considering the vibrant for her as it can be had for around $250, however I have noticed that the Vibrand 4G goes for nearly the same amount. Also every since the stupid ip0wn facetime came out she keeps telling me she want a front camera, not like shes ever gonna use it but hey, it my mum. So the Vibrant 4G makes the most sense. BTW, if your suggesting, neither one of us likes the Mytouch 4G..
Anyways, shes very used to the AOSP Froyo on her original MyTouch 3G and I dont want her to have to relearn crappy ass touchwiz. Is there an AOSP Rom out there, could be either Froyo or Gingerbread, doesnt matter, that includes wifi calling that is ported to the Vibrant 4G?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Im pretty sure there's almost nothing for the vibrant 4g but you can check their forum for sure.

you could try the g2 it comes stock android / aosp.

EDIT2: There's a rom with no touchwiz with a gingerbread launcher.

No, that is impossible due to the lack of a radio capable of 4g speeds

Anyone with the Amaze 4G on T-Mobile USA notice much better download speeds compared to the Sensation and even Galaxy S II Titanium? Staying in the exact same spot and even within a few seconds of putting the same SIM card into other phones such as the Sensation and Galaxy S II the Amaze consistently outperforms them in download speeds.
What makes the Amaze so special that it can do this when the other processors on the above listed phones are quite comparable are they not? Even in terms of RAM and all running gingerbread?
It's a better phone

Amaze is always better than sensation and gs2 for me!
29Mbs on amaze, question answered!
It would appear so but what exactly makes it perform better as far as speeds go when the processor is not any faster than the galaxy S2? Is it better hardware or software?

The answer you are looking for is HSPA+. The difference between the phones you listed is that the amaze uses the very latest broadband standards. The Sensation uses regular HSPA (not plus)

You cant compare the sensation with data speeds cause it runs on t Mobiles 14.4 mps network, the amaze runs on the 42.2 mps network

Amaze will perform better than Sensation because Amaze utilizes dual cell HSPA+, or in plain terms you can say faster 4g coz Sensation is also 4g . Anyway you can read about it here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual-Cell_HSDPA
Not sure why is it faster than gs2 coz both of them use the same technique and have same chipset, so same modem...could be because Amaze radio firmware be better optimized or just better suited in your area than gs2's but ideally it should be same or something close by..
