So I bought the Vibrant back in September 2010, and with the help of custom roms I have been happy with the phone (got the GPS working b/c of roms).
Question I have is that I noticed when I click on 'upgrade my phone' on the T-mobile website that all the pricing is like I am not in contract. Was this done to all Vibrant owners b/c of the GPS mess-up, or is this a quirk in the T-mobile database?
Anyone else experience this?

I haven't noticed that but i would definitely take advantage of it while i could

I am happy with the Vibrant and able to do all I need on the 2.2 roms (not so quirky GPS as gingerbread) so I don't have a reason to move on, but our of curiosity, what phones are people going to from here? I saw the HTC Sensation is the big thing right now at T-mobile, but I hear a lot about HTC locking down their bootloaders so custom roms are more difficult (maybe I misunderstood) so I don't know about HTC as a next phone.
What are others doing from here?
Don't go with Tmobile
After the whole debacle with our phones, I will definitely be going as far away from Tmobile as possible and I would suggest you do the same.

can any body tell me that if i upgrade my vibrant t959 with vibrant 4g rom downloaded form samfirmware what will happen...if some thing is happed after flashing can i be able to flash it back to stock?????? help plzzz want to use gingerbread..
If you do as you're planning, not only will your phone not work, you WILL permanent brick it!
T959v IS NOT compatible with t959 without HEAVY modification, add to the fact that t959v have bootloaders in its Odin package.

Your partitions WILL NOT MOIJT if you flash a sgs 4g rom without a modified kernel, and your buttons WILL be.messed up, and possibly your headphone icon will indicate the reverse of what it actually is.
There's a reason we don't have a straight port from the gt-i9000 nor a straight port from the sgs 4g...

don't expect official support for a phone this aged. This doesn't that it's a bad device, it just means be happy with what you have or spend the cash for something new.
start searching the forums before starting new threads. all your questions have been answered dozens of times over by helpful and insightful people and everything can be found by typing what you need in the search box located at the upper right side of the screen. Good luck.
I have a NS4G, and am switching from Sprint so I'll need a new phone. I'm looking into either the Amaze 4G, Sensation, or Galaxy S II. I want a phone that has a good developer community, as the two previous phones I had were fairly active in that regard.
I saw that the Amaze 4G Dev forum is looking like all the roms are Sense based. Is this an temporary thing or is the dev support just not there? (Or is the phone locked down enough to make it difficult?)
Anyway I would greatly appreciate some I put on this!

Hello, I am new to the forum but do have the HTC Amaze 4G. While HTC does provide the tools for unlocking the bootloader, they do not allow for S-OFF (Security OFF). And it is because of this (for the most part) that developing for the HTC Amaze is limited ATM.

Temp - hopefully.
Dev support - we only have one developer that actually has the phone. To top it off he's only 16 and still in high school.
We have the source but not the entire kernel source (thanks to HTC and their technicalities)
Still don't have s-off so we can't flash kernels via recovery thus makes flashing roms that much more difficult.
So if you want a good phone to use as a daily driver and don't care about tweaking and boosting... this is the phone for you!
If you immediately want fully working ICS, Sense 3.5, CM9, AOSP, etc then go with another device.
Do we see this happening in the future? If more developers were to pickup the device then maybe. But not anytime soon.
Bottom line if you want a device that has a HUGE selection of roms that you can do pretty much anything with... this isn't the phone for you. Not yet anyway.
Anyone know if there's any word on whether S-Off is coming? I thought I heard HTC announcing the days of S-On being forced are over.
I'd rather get the better phone. Hope that dev support comes.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk
Agreed with Binary.
From what you've posted this doesn't sound like the phone that will suit you. However, in the long-run it could suit you better maybe?
I doubt this forum will ever pick up. Most people who wanted a phone like this bought the sensation, and this phone is not a big enough of an upgrade from that. So most will just wait till the next gen.
Thanks for the responses. I think I am going to go with the Amaze after all, and deal with Sense. Apparently it'll get ICS at some point regardless, which will be nice. I am pretty good with Linux so I might work on my own development if I get some free time (going back to college to finish up my bachelors degree so I'm not so sure about that part).

I definitely agree. Everyone that I know that bought this phone after having the Sensation ended up having buyers remorse. The phones seem very similiar to eachother and we all expected them to be pretty much the same. However we later found out that they are nothing alike on the inside. Different partitions, different software, different securities, etc. This phone is actually kind of a PITA for developers despite how HTC claims to be "developer friendly" and all that other nonsense.
If you stick with the Amaze then try beast, its pretty damn close to AOSP, or at least as close as we can have for now

This is the first phone where I had to use the htc unlocking method and am SHOCKED that is not as open as they made it out to be. Keeping s on? What the hell was the point then? I can see where it would benefit developers, but as far as supporting xda type communities, its an epic fail while giving us false hope in all those press releases how they "heard" the enthusiast community and wanted to be more open.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda premium
i hated always have 150mb of RAM or lower, but your ns4g has 2xxmb less so you are probably used to it.
Yeah I have been less of an enthusiast lately since the dev community sorta dried up on the NS4G the past couple weeks.
Its fine. I have less free time now than I used to anyway

Rooting the phone is always worth it
In my opinion its the best phone on the market and the toms are ok now great like 4th bar sense I like a lot xborader and other are working on a very slow moving aosp ics but its the only aosp we have and but its all sense roms also bulletproof and energy are nice

Hi mysticfrog and welcome bro!
Yes, The screen of the Amaze 4g is larger but not emolated (amolated?) and I've had no problems at all with Gingerbread nor with HTC Sense 3.0
The bloatware is there on this phone.
If you root your phone, it voids the warrantee btw.
The Amaze 4G IS slated for the ICS 4.0 upgrade & HTC Sence 3.5/3.6 probably in march. If not then your guess is as good as mine.
Insofar as ROM's are concerned, I don't know. As around.
Finally, You might want to reconsider this phone, as Google wants phone developers to come out with phones that don't have physical buttons!
ICS and Jellybean, I presume, are on phone which have physical buttons but the new Google phone only has on-screen buttons like the Iphone.
If I were you and I could wait till later on this year, I'd wait man.

WEll i can play with this one for 20 days.. from the specs it seemed like the phone to get.. i appreciate the input bro.. im just kinda bored with the sgs4g.. but having said that the devs over there are pretty awsome.. i just wanted a bigger screen and i didnt want a galaxy s 2..
I put NRG's ROM on to it. It is really nice, smooth and has many useful features!
If you wanna buy accessories, I'd recommend buying an Anker battery, a TPU case (i bought one for $3 on eBay), car charger and you should be good to go!
Alright guys I've got the amaze.. Im at work at the moment.. I just got one last question..
is the development of this phone going to slowly increase? Cause i do believe t mobile is the only one that has a phone of this juncture..

If you're a crack flasher, then this device is not for you. I don't think development will pick up much at all... However, I say its the best device also. I don't need heavy development. NRGZ28 made a beautiful and EXTREMELY stable ROM called Energy. It's got all I could need.
Most people are salty about the device because they can't get s off so developers are backing out. We have 4-5 ROM developers, but the nrg ROM is the only one that's as stable as stock imho (but I haven't tried OneGoodROM or Bulletproof since the 2.3.2 update. A lot has changed since that release though.
If you're looking to flash a new ROM each week, then you will not like the device and you may have an addiction. If you're looking for a phone that has a few very stable ROMs to choose from, this is the device for you

Plus one on that. I'm gonna be adding the device tree to our source here soon for some classicnerd aosp flavors too. I'm sure this phone will explode here soon. It's been what, a couple weeks at most? I would say this developement has been faster than most and on par to become a legendary device.

Your thread has been moved. It didn't belong in Development.
Thanks
thanks guys for the quick responds....
There are so many good phones now days you are never going to get the amount of development for one phone as you did back in the Classic EVO days. It's just the way it is. Developers are spread too thin and a lot of them still support devices that are 2+ years old.
The terrible state of Sprint's network doesn't help either. Once LTE is available nationwide and people start seeing Sprint as an option for fast mobile data maybe more people will sign with them. I wouldn't expect that to start happening until 2014 or so. The people with Sprint now are most probably long time customers who are with them for the price rather than the performance.
I am more than happy with what we do have. The phone has been out a couple weeks and we have all sorts of mods, a bunch of really good Sense roms, even without a kernel source being released yet, and two really well known AOSP roms under way. I would love a few full blown themes and hope they come in time. I miss my blue Sense themes that I had while running mikshifted g back on my evo shift.

Honestly I can see the LTE being the next "EVO 3D"...the specs on this beast are impressive and it is more than capable of handling damn near anything thrown at it. LTE will be great to have, I don't miss my 4G that much as I use WiFi more often than not. But as the Dev's are finding out, even the hboot is completely different and we are not locked out of 95% of the boot sectors as with the 3D....not to sound too cheesy, but HTC built it...they will come lol
Personally I'm not looking for a thousand roms. I actually like a smaller development community with quality roms. I had that over at the OG Epic and Evo3d community and was more then happy. Each community happily lead me to a new device, which is usually yearly. What i look for in development is improvement over stock, fixing nagging bugs, useful tweaks and speed enhancements. If i get that i find no point in flashing and flashing. After awhile you got to realize development has peaked and there's not much to improve upon and one simply just move on.
Sent from my EVO using XDA
i too dont like alot of roms, i hate sifting through pages and pages of roms
that either look like crap, have been scrapped or not supported, or have such minute changes from the rom above it.
i prefer a small collection of super stable roms
i also prefer the team roms because alot more highly skilled devs are involved in it together.
I'm just a beginner but I think I've made some cool mods for this phone
