I've been reading that CM7 doesn't allow 911 calls on the vibrant. I haven't tested mine (Running nightly 81, Bali 1.2, GPS Fix).
Is this true? Are the developers aware of this?
If this is true, this should be a huge red flag in any rom that has this problem. Does this problem exist on other roms?
I posted this question to issues as well:
http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=4222
By the way, if you do want to test this, I've seen in other threads a suggestion that you call the non-911 number for your 911 dispatch center and schedule a test call. That way you wont end up with a swat team at your door.

This needs to be addressed. I was dialing 911 two Tuesday evenings ago since I was in a car accident. It is beyond reason why someone would leave such a critical bug on any kind of cellular phone OS. Is 911 linked to the GPS perhaps?

Beyond reason? Perhaps devs don't call 911 often. Can't say I've ever tested it.
Its not tied to the GPS. Its more RIL crap to deal with. Blame Samsung for that.

I don't see how we can blame SAMSUNG at this...
On a Samsung ROM, 911 works perfectly. So how exactly is it THEIR fault?
You people need to get better things to do then blame TMO/Samsung at everything.
Oh no! a CUSTOM ROM's 911 doesn't work! Why don't we blame the big companies because its their branded phone instead of asking how we can help the devs fix it!

Jt is saying that if you don't like it, go back to stock. No one made you flash. Android is supposed to be open source but because of all proprietary crap it's hard to get everything working as well as a developer (and user) would prefer.

It's not you dude. Ive noticed the last couple of months that CM7 brings out all kinds of "characters". I'll just leave it at that.
I am confused if you were upset at me realizing this bug? I know the evidence does fall upon Samsung or T-Mobile for using a custom rom. I am well aware that this Rom is experimental for my phone. Have I known about this flaw earlier, I would of used a different ron.

I remember I had to call 911 on a Samsung rom and it didn't work. Does it have to do with anything?
I called 911 "by accident" for the hell of it, and it worked fine. It must depend on the carrier/area.
Sent from my T959 using XDA Premium App
This post contains the technical details of why 911 calling generally does not work on the Vibrant (and maybe other SGS phones) on CM7. Long story short, it's not necessarily Samsung's fault, they just implemented emergency dialing different than is done in the AOSP. That difference is enormous however because the Samsung implementation involves stuff on a low-level (i.e., radio implementation).

Thank you for this thread! I am rooted and have tried several roms and radios. My question is this: Is the check for updates function in phone settings a reliable way to determine if your phone is capable of receiving OTA updates? I noticed when I was on a leaked radio it would tell me that the update service was unavailable and to check back. When I returned to the stock radio it said there were no updates available. Tia!
P.S. I am currently on the stock rom and radio. I am aware that any official OTA updates may wipe my root and my ability to reroot.

In the past, if you did not have all of the bloatware, etc. that came on the phone (i.e. if you were not completely stock) you would have issues getting the OTA. Since you are back to stock, you should not have any issues, but I wouldn't necessarily say that "check for updates" is the best way to determine that. If you are completely stock, you will get the OTA, but I wouldn't say that check for updates is all that reliable if you have changed something.

I am completely stock with the exception of root at the moment. Just curious if I will be able to deny OTA updates or they will automatically update my phone. With the OG Droid I was asked if I wanted to update or not. I don't want to lose root with no going back. Thanks.
I would assume so (that you can deny). I jumped on the Droid train a bit later but have always been asked (when I was all stock) to update.

That thread's dealing with the GT-I9000. Not sure how much help it would be for us T-Mo Vibrant owners. Seems all the ROMs have a problem with this. Even some that say they've got it working have taken it out because of FC issues. If anyone gets it right, I may have to switch from CM7. Used wi-fi calling a lot since T-Mo made it a free feature that DIDN'T eat package minutes!

I replaced m y phone today at Best Buy and so far so good.
Strange thing is, while this is a MR1 software package, there sure are some things which are different.
The email setup for one to manually configure was completely different than my first phone.
The rear speaker is way louder than the first unit and I thought that one was loud.
The really weird part is, as soon as I opened the browser the first time and then went to load bookmarks, all of my previous bookmarks were already there. Is Google or Sprint storing this information in a cloud somewhere?
I was so taken back by this that I checked all of the various serial #'s and such to make sure they gave me the new phone, even though I watched them with it the entire time.
BTW....setting the battery to PERFORMANCE really speeds this up on this phone.

I have a small echo-like noise now that I hear during phone calls on my phone. I think it is a hardware issue because I don't hear it on my bluetooth headset. I called Verizon 800 number the other night because I was wondering about the 4G outage and mentioned my audio problem while I was on the phone with her. She said if I call back from another phone, tech support would connect to my Thunderbolt and troubleshoot the audio problem, and if its unfixable they would send me another Thunderbolt.
I am wondering if I need to unroot before I do this....would tech support be able to tell if my phone was rooted and thus void the warranty and not be able to do anything for me? What should I do?
Bare minimum I'd install the stock rom on there, I don't believe they would dig far enough to see if fastboot is unlocked.
As for the title question Yes, they can tell if rooted.

The only thing I can think of, and I'm no expert or anything so this is just a guess, is that they could look at the software version of the phone, and if it isn't the latest, or a previous release for this phone, then they could speculate that you are rooted, though I don't think that alone would hold up in court if it ever came to that.
When the support rep told the OP that they would "connect to my Thunderbolt and troubleshoot the audio problem", I think they were going by the standard "don't call tech support from the phone that's having the issue" practice.
Can they remotely connect to our phones ? I wasn't aware that they could.

Liquid AOSP 3.2.
I unrooted just to be safe and the tech rep never said anything and I got them to send me a new sim card and if that doesn't solve my problem (which I don't think it will), then they will send me a new thunderbolt.
When I rooted again after the phone call it wouldn't let me restore my rom and I got stuck in a boot loop. Luckily I had rom zip's on my sd card, so I installed one from scratch, reflashed cwm via rom mgr again, then it let me restore it.
Very weird, and I was terrified I jacked my phone up.

Hmm keep looking, I won't be at a pc till tomorrow maybe. But like I said I have no way to confirm only what I've read which is what I do. And that was second hand information. As most of this is. I'm really trying to remember because I know these site searching's are lacking at best.
I just recently used to work for at&t customer care and if vzw is anything like them, the only way they can maybe tell is if you have an unlimited data plan plus unofficial tethering app. Or if you send it in for warranty/Asurion replacement. Otherwise i don't really see how they could see in any way if it was rooted

That is understandable, thank you. Still gotta get to my pc. I know people have called in on their rooted devices for certain reasons and been called out only to deny. And of course unroot before going in. For whatever reason. Sticking to it.
That's why I asked what ROM. A support rep could simply tell the person to read them a version # that will be different than "stock".

this is true, didn't think about that. You could always just write the stock version number before flashing to be safe
