I currently own a captivate and like a lot about it but hate other.. (capacitive buttons are driving me nuts 1/2 the time my back button dosnt want to work very well) anyways my nephew is looking to sell his vibrant (NOT 4g) .. i can get it pretty cheap ($80) and i already have rooted it and unlocked it..
so here are my questions..
first the unlock is done for good now right? once unlocked it stays unlocked.. (its running 2.2 now btw)
2nd will the 4g cases still if the original vibrant? i really like the body glove sace on my captivate.. its a silicone case.. but dosnt have that.. sticky feel to it and its faily ridged for silocone havent seen to many of those for vibrant lots of silicone.. but not that look that high quality.. so i was looking at hard cases.. and i saw one with a kick stand and thought it would be nice >link<
thanks for the help

I'm not sure if the unlock thing stays forever, but all galaxy s 4g / galaxy s 19000/ galaxy s 19003 cases work for the vibrant.

Yes, IT WILL WORK BUT!!! the Vibrant will only use 1 of the 2 bands that ATT uses for 3g service... So if you don't live in the northeast or a heavily populated area, you may be knocked to edge service for most of the time.
Once unlocked it will stay unlocked no matter what you do, so if you upgrade to CM7 nightly or MIUI for example you will still be unlocked.
I bought my now ex-girlfriend a vibrant a while back and unlocked it for ATT use.. Since we live right next to NYC service was always 3g and the phone always worked great... She loved it until we broke up and I took it back.
You're going to get mad when you realize that the captivate is going to recieve an official GB update while there is still no word on the Vibrant (not even a damn leak)
But he will have a great running cm7 on it though on his vibrant! which is way better then the stock gb

Yes, but I hear the CM7 port for the Captivate is a bit more functional than the one for the Vibrant. STUPID VIBRANT GPS!
well i'm kinda bummed about my vibrant right now.. like the phone it self alot more then my captivate.. seems snappier the capacitive buttons work ALOT better.. but.. the killer for it (did not know this before hand) is the 3g service i live in a small town in california.. just got 3g service january 1st of this year.. and its been SOOOO nice to have it.. the vibrant will work on the 3g at my house with no problem.. but at work (about 4 miles away) it can only get it to pick up 3g in 1 or 2 places there and the signal is so weak (0 bars) it wont really work where as my captivate will be sitting on 3-4 bars of 3g.. also was noticing my edge signal was quite a bit worse also.. capticate getting 4-5 bars vibrant getting 2-3 bars (i tried a few modems kb1,kb5,ka7.. and 1 more dont remember.. all seemed to be the same for me..
this wouldnt be so much of a problem but i work 12 hours graveyard shifts and get quite a bit of time to mess with my phone... streaming music while i work or streaming netflix of break (get 5 30minute breaks a night)
and as for CM7.. i tried it on my captivate and nook and didnt care for it that much
so right now i'm not sure what i'm gonna do with the vibrant...

Vibrant doesn't fully support AT&T 3G... I think you might be able to enable the 850mhz band (combi bands?) which helps some, off by default on the Vibrant. But ultimately, it doesn't support all of AT&T's 3g bands so the experience won't be as reliable. EDGE connection should be the same though.

Just saw this a few minutes ago.. thought I would share it since I haven't seen anyone else post it yet.
Update: I just tested with my laptop and it is indeed working.
this is the first version that has worked for me at least. besides Barnacle.
Update 2: [BUG] It starts fine and functions for me. But when Disabled and then re-enabled the program says unknown state.
After rebooting it works again.. so if you turn it off you have to reboot to use it again. minor inconvenience , but better than no tethering at all.
Update 3: New version is out and available here
http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com/files/wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre5.apk Good eye dabezt1
This fixes the unknown state issue. I had to reboot after installing to get normal operation from it.
I noticed on code.google.com that this version has been deprecated but it seems to be working fine on the vibrant.
Update 4 From Zephik
Wireless Tether for Root Users 2.0.5-pre8-TEST1 *** HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL ***
New version of Wireless Tether available: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
Update 5
From the following link you will find all available versions. Check them periodically
for updated apk's
http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...=Filename+Summary+Uploaded+Size+DownloadCount
Again, Thanks for the heads up Zephik
Mine seems to get stuck at the Start Tethering: Please wait while starting.
UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got errors initially (that should get fixed in later versions) but restarted it and I can see the WiFi broadcasting!
Love Android WiFi tether! I will be donating again shortly.
Worked for me on Edge to my iPad. I will test the 3G tomorrow. Fingers crossed!
Edit: I had the unknown state thing too. A restarted fixed it up.
mine works tested with my friends Iphone 4, i was running on Edge, however when i stop it i still have the Tether Icon in the Icon bar..and it says that its still running any ideas? im going to power cycle and post the results
This works so much better than Barnacle for some reason, just going on speed alone.
Well I am sure the bugs will get worked out. But we have something viable for now.
Also not a fan of barnacle..
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Worked great on edge. Faster than barnacle. I also got the error after closing it and had to restart to use again. Will try out with 3G later today, but seems awesome so far.
Works great so far. Pulled +3mbps on 3g on a speed test via a tethered ipad. It does result in the "unknown state" error on disconnect however... but all that matters is that it works!

I just downloaded/installed it straight to the phone. I trust it if it comes from a Google site. They are going to take over the world one day anyway so I guess it is ok if they get to my personal info a little earlier than they get to yours.

I downloaded the program right from my phone and it installed perfectly. Maybe your download was corrupted somehow?

Works great. Seems faster than Barnacle.
The app does get messed up upon shutting down and says unknown state. Reboot seems to be the only way to fix it. I was able to get it to work once by ending the task and retrying. I was only able to do that once though. WiFi adapter gets stuck.
We're so close!!

I deleted the one I did while tethered with WiFi Tether, but here is one result directly from the phone in the same place.
i've come up with a fix for the roaming issue on CM7 and CM9 for Electrify users. download the file attachment below. extract the file from the zip and then replace it with the current one in the /system/lib directory. then reboot. you can select between automatic and home only now! no need to restore the stock rom to fix it. this replacement file fixes it completely
there is no force roaming with this fix.
may have to test this out on sprint, see if it will allow us to connect as normal.. if it does i see no reason why not to include it as official so that electrify owners dont have to bother with extra flashes
That's very kind of you!

@shabbypenguin Let me know how this works out for you! I'm very curious if it will work on the Photon.
@roundeye1987 you only need to do it once! then you're good to go! although if you change to a new update of either rom you will need to replace the file again.
well im pleased to say that it works fine enough for what i can test for...
unfortunatly no matter what setting i change etc etc i cant get 3g in cm9 so idk if that works with it... but i know 1x and voice/sms works fine
however there may be a time that the bootloader/4g issue gets fixed, and if so then we are gunna be working non stop to get 4g working in cm. if we can pull that off then it may come to ifnd out that this ril (gunna guess is from the electrify) may not work with 4g. if thats the case then it will have to be a seperate downloadable flash again. but for now ill swap it out in my hatif i compile anything electrify owners with have this fix baked in
Excellent.. Thanks very much.

there could be a problem with 3g for photon users. glad to see it at least works for you! i do get 1x and 3g along with everything else being fully functional in terms of the radio. thanks for testing it!
Stock doesnt show 1x it pretends its 3g. To know what you really have on stock you have to look on the about phone then status. Some people are just noticing they have been on 1x and not 3g. I think it was a crappy move by sprint to lie this way.

This guide was from a Samsung Moment, so the code line locations might be a little different. I cant figure out how to properly edit a smali file, so I haven't been able to test it on a stock rooted photon.

the prl does matter. i'm assuming it's your location and the location of the roaming cell site that's making you have a 1X signal.
check out jokers results with this running on the photon.

Would it be possible to get this working on the Electrify? I am using it right now to allow roaming but I can not get it to force roaming when set to automatic. Automatic actually works as automatic and stays non roaming until I leave US Cellular towers. If there was a simple way to force roaming I would be sooo happy.
Thanks!
Im a little confused because I can go between Home and Automatic just fine on CM9 already

This feature is/has been implemented in CM9 Alpha Builds since Alpha 11. So using "adding" this to CM9(assuming your on a relatively new verison..) is a waste of time. And i think that Sprint will limit you to 1x roaming by default PRL, youll need to flash a business PRL to get 3g roaming in certain areas. For me in North Florida atleast I was unable to roam with 3g until I flashed a business PRL that allowed it.
Nope I get roaming 3g

ok so i tried the latest and greatest blaze modem that released yesterday...
my speeds practically went up 9 fold, here's the story
using saurom, and latest blaze modem
however, here's what im running in to
the latest blaze modem that was released yesterday has increased my speeds by alot
yesterday when i was on telus sgh t989 modem, i was getting about 386kbps at my house and only 2 bars of service. on top of that, at the time it seemed as though my 4g was having a bunch of micro disconnects. also my upload was around 2kbps
today i come home and try the latest blaze modem, and my download went up to 3.8mbps (decent improvement i would say in the least), no micro disconnects, double the amount of bars in reception, but my upload is around 10kbps...
10kbps takes a long time to send mms... (trying not to be whiny, but that's all i use upload for when im not on wifi)
anybody else having this issue?
Can I ask what rom you are currently on? Also have you tried on another rom?
starting to hate this captcha image verifications
anywho, i'm a bit of a noob(sorry, but i never needed to really mod anything untill i bought the galaxy note), so i will answer this to the best of my knowledge.
im on saurom, haven't tried anything else
Some things just don't make sense. I'm also on saurom and its the only rom I can get decent speeds on. Someone else in another thread said he got good speeds on the unofficial collective. I get 10Mbps on saurom and only 3Mbps on collective.
I'm trying to figure out why but it seems everyone has different input. I wonder if saurom version matters cause I run a older build 4a.
well im glad that im not the only one that feels that way (regardless of how noob i am)
i tried multiple guides, and always stuck with the easy way
so far this is basically what i have
adw and used the latest blaze modem
saurom (latest according to the post that i saw)
the build.prop.test (of courst moved the .test part, still using this) that supposedly magically enhances reception
problems i have
a) download has improved but upload is retarded
b) reception still sucks even after the build, but when my phone is at two bars, immediately when i touch it, reception doubles...??
once again, i know im a noob, but im great at following directions... i dunno is anyone else having the issues i have?
oh and oddly, whenever i try to do a speedtest, my receptions goes from 3 bars to 4 bars... (25%...really?) as soon as speed test is done, it reverts..... does this makes sense to anyone?

does this makes sense to anyone?

Wifi tests on my phone show the full 25Mbps my Internet is capable of. I would suggest u try the rom I'm on if u can find it. Saurom 4a and don't apply that build.prop you are using, it could be causing you more harm then good.
Retest and repost afterwards
ok so deleted the "aftermarket" build.prop file from my system folder, and replaced it with the original build.prop that i had
results:
reception isonly at 2 bars (20% less)
speedtest with wifi shows: 15.747 mbps
speedtest on comp: 18.87 mbps, marginal difference, understandable
speedtest on 4g: 4.854 mbps, upload is at 2.487 mbps per second, YOU SOLVED THE ISSUE, although i must admit i feel dumb for not thinking of this... you get a kudos, if you ever swing by rochester, i'll buy you a round of beer
Exactly which blaze modem did you use? I just cleared my cache and flashed the blaze telus one. Rebooted twice and did a speed test and am only getting .06 mbps and somehow 1mbps upload speed. Before with jus the telus modem i only got like 512k and never passed 1mbps. I am running latest saurom and live in a pretty decent coverage area too, i also have it set to hspa only. Any reasons why mine suck??
Glad it worked out for you. Now where did u get that build.prop file? I don't remember seeing one with a .test at the end. Was it one of tomin's?
I also had the build prop.test and ill try and replace the original one and see what happens.

Yes the buld prop.test was one of tommins.

did wonders for me, once again though you'll probably want to revert to the stock build.prop, as well as remembering to clear cache...
just to make sure i think i've covered all areas i will once again say what im running
latest saurom
stock build.prop
modem listed in above link
beats audio mod (i HIGHLY doubt this has anything to do with it)
i should mention that yes, in my previous post i only went up to 3.3 or 3.4mbps with the current setup, but that's the fastest in my area atm...
and as far as the reception issue, well honestly, quality of service and reception are two totally different things, so im not sure if what i said about reception was really worth anything
anyways this seems to have worked for me really well so far, will test for another 24 hours, if i feel anyhting is up, i'll post

Alright I have a att branded note, but it is on tmobile. I traded for my sg2 about 4 months ago and all was well then got 4g and for the most part never freezes or hangs up or reboots, I do have a hard time getting 3g it either goes 4g or edge in my area. Now this is my dilimea since moving back to college (In the danm woods) I get horrible service if any, most of the time roaming always on edge and 2 bars or less. But what I am missing most now is wifi calling!
My questions is how can I go about just adding it to this phone, I think it has been rooted(Don't really know how to tell) It does have CWM gui installed on it
Could I do what is mentioned in this post?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1674592

Honestly just looking for a bit of help do not know where to really start

Your link is from the international Note forum. Don't know if you can do this to the i717 Note. How about using google voice and either talkatone or groove IP with your google voice number? That lets you do wifi calling using a google voice number. All free. You just have to set it up. Only thing is you have 2 numbers. Your carrier number and your google voice number. Unless you port your cell number to google voice ($20). Only thing is mms still does not work over google voice, but talkatone have a work around. Good luck!
Thanks for the reply I did do google voice for a bit but found it to be a bit slow on the push from calls and text messages and to have 2 numbers gets a bit confusing at times and I missed some calls I shouldn't ect....Just thought there might be a way just to bring back this feature.

It sound like you need to flash a different T-Mobile radio.

If you go into the tmobile note forum, look at tomin's thread. Think it's called Goodies. He has instructions on how to flash the tmobile rom to your ATT note. It is a little complicated, but I was able to do it.
Pay attention to the root part. I lost root flashing the tmobile modem. It was a stock flash with no root. Had to re-root. Wasn't that hard, just annoying.
Check that out. I had the tmobile rom running on the blaze modem and it worked fine. The tmobile modem made my phone run hot. Worth a try. Good luck.
Was able to reflash custom roms without problems. Just read alot and understand what it is you are doing.
I think mine is already rooted are you saying to root it again?
This is the thread you are speaking of correct

Yeah- that's the thread. When I did it a couple months ago, I flashed the tmo stock rom, but it wasn't rooted cause it was stock. I still had my custom recovery I think? So I rooted the stock rom and was able to restore via Tit. BU. Don't remember what steps I took- it was awhile ago. But I followed all the steps outlined. The tmo modem ran hot, so I switched back to blaze and that combination worked fine. If you are not sure, read all you can. On that thread, and on the t-mo threads within the att note sections. Just search the threads. Good luck!
Is there any rom I can just flash to alleviate most of this? Just looking for it to do the wifi calling or SIP i think its called. And still be able to use my att branded phone on tmobile...Anyone have any ideas?

No rom will fix the basic issue of hardware incompatability -- all the suggestions just get you a less than optimal, but working, phone experience.
Well anyone have something more useful or experience? While I appreciate the comment above I have read other got it working just want to know how...
I was talking with a Sprint rep the other day and mnentioned Sense 5 coming to the EVO LTE. He said it won't happen. He didn't credit any resources for his answer but I don't remember 100% what he was saying. Something about the EVO LTE not being able to handle Sense 5. I then told him it was ported to this phone and the only things that are a bit screwey (that I know of) are Blinkfeed, Bluetooth, and data connection.
Has anyone else asked or heard anything about such things? In my opinion, HTC should take out Blinkfeed and throw us a Sense 5 update.
If I recall correctly, the only issue I had while running Sense 5 was no Bluetooth. I don't remember having any Blinkfeed or connection issues. YMMV
Hopefully the Sprint rep didn't know what he was talking about

I never listen to what Sprint reps have to say when it comes to updates.

I had connection issues with every flash combination I tried. WiFi would constantly turn off and on. Data would no constantly disconnect and connect. Blinkfeed just doesn't look scaled correctly. It looks kind of gross. Lol. But hopefully we'll see something.
My sense five is working flawlessly except bluetooth.

I guess I'm the only one that has any issues with the port.
I know you probably done this but try to start fresh to see if that helps.

Did that more times than I can remember. Tried different firmwares, different radio, different wipes, superwipes, even wiped internal and external storage, installed - booted - restarted - flashed - rebooted even, lol. I've tried it all. Nothing works for me. I've tried switching from different ROM's while preforming different scenarios. I get the same result no matter what I do. But every other ROM works just fine. Even reprogramming with the ##dialer codes did nothing for me. This happened on my other EVO LTE too (this is my replacement). I'm starting to wonder if I'm Sense 5 retardant or something. Hahahaha.
Sense 5 works for me good only problem is Bluetooth and sometimes I'll have 3g issues not much though

Don't listen to Sprint reps. They told me rooting a phone and flashing it is the same thing

I'd take a Sprint reps word with a grain of salt. It's obvious he doesn't know what he's talking about given the fact we have a 99.9% functioning port for our phones. Only issues I've ever had are a couple of camera functions, which the devs are aware of. I don't use Bluetooth so it's not a deal breaker for me.

I tend not to listen to them in general. Otherwise, NJ would have 4G since last December, and both my wife and I would have refurbished phones.
They claimed that her GS3 had water damaged when it wouldn't boot past the final boot screen. Fixed it by calling Samsung directly, who told me to factory reset. I then rooted and updated to avoid the "Sudden Death Syndrome" that the 16gb Sprint version of the GS3 suffers.
My phone list signal, and they couldn't figure it out (they didn't really try. He restarted the phone once, went to settings, and gave up.) I went home, flashed the newest firmware, and voila! Good as new. In both cases, I put the refurb phones back into the package and mailed them right back.
Long story short, question EVERYTHING that they tell you. You probably have more knowledge, anyway. They only sell phones to blindsided customers who Le looking at the pretty screens.

I listen to them. I'm not ignorant. But I take what they say with a few grains of salt and an entire shaker if pepper. That's some funny stuff.

Absolutely. Don't forget the pepper. I wouldn't go 99.9% but close enough.

I'd have full fledged 4G right now if what they told me was true about switching from WiMax. I learned late the hard way. They always bring up the water damnage expo. I always question what Sprint says. Especially after fighting their natterially adverse changes on my account for 2 weeks. I'm sick of Sprint. **** 'em.
Sense 5 works great besides Bluetooth, burst shot, and panorama,
According to some on here this guy has a pretty good track record of being accurate. No timeline though as far as I know.

Every phone is different for reasons that I'll never understand. Blinkfeed and data work perfectly for me with absolutely no issues. I don't use BT at all, so our phone's Sense 5 port is pretty much flawless as far as I'm concerned.
But then I try an AOSP rom, and my phone turns into a turd. And not even one of those good turds where you don't really even have to wipe. My phone hates AOSP, and meanwhile I'm reading the forums and everyone using CM or Liquid or Carbon or etc. is just LOVING the rom and it runs great for them. Meanwhile I feel like I'm using a Froyo phone from 2010. When I go back to Sense 5, everything is better.
I dunno man. Sorry to hear it's not working as well for you.

Then you haven't tried Bluetooth =P It is a great port though. I just get connectivity issues. Could be that my service around here sucks even though Sprint claims I'm in a strong 3G area. 100kbps speeds FTW.

When the Jellybean update came out and rebroke the proximity sensor on my phone I called Sprint about it. 3 stores to be exact. Every single one of them told me that Evo LTE's did not and would not have Jellybean...even though my phone was running it from the OTA.
