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.

Hello all,
My Vibrant is tied to T-Mobile (obviously). Trouble is, I am using a different SIM as I don't live in the USA. (Stupid decision not to go for generic Galaxy S).
Now, the 2.2 update is shown available, but doesn't download since it looks for T-Mobile SIM.
Any solutions?
It's not FroYo it's just a maintenance update. You can find it in the Development section. It's JI6.

Does it actually say that it's a 2.2 upgrade, or are you just assuming that? The reason someone suggested in the other thread you made that it might just be the JI6 upgrade is that there's no 2.2 upgrade for the Vibrant yet, regardless of what country you're in.

Hey guys I need some help from the people that know all the information about the AT&T Galaxy Note. I'm planning to get mine on the 19th but I have a couple of questions about the "phablet".
1. Is there are an ICS version coming out soon for the AT&T Note? I read about one coming for the International version but the AT&T version uses different hardware so I'm worried about this. I have ICS running on my Captivate and it works really good.
2. Is it coming with NFC? I read this phone comes with GB 2.3.5. I read somewhere that GB 2.3.6 is the version that supports the NFC feature. (Please correct me if I'm wrong).
3. How is the GPS on the Note? I had a very bad experience with the Captivate and the Asus Transformer Prime and I want a phone with a fully functional GPS.
Thanks for your help.
No dates for ICS, if this is a reason to get it, hold off. Well it get it, of course it will but it could be end of year
NFC, yes it is included
GPS, works fine on the international model, don't see why that would change

Thanks for the reply. I'm asking about the GPS because right now I have a Captivate and the GPS never work like it should
I came from captivate too. The moment i turned gps on my friend's note, i gave my captivate to my dad i am constantly getting 12/12~16 satellites in gps test opposed to 4/4~5 on captivate

Moved to ATT Note General​
We have a ATT Note forum now. Please post anything relevant to that device there.​
I am considering moving from Verizon to Sprint (for reasons unrelated any handset I have now or could get). If I move, this means getting rid of my Samsung Droid Charge, which I like a lot, and getting a phone on the Sprint network. As near as I can tell the Galaxy S-II (Epic) is the top of the line phone at Sprint, so that's what I would probably get.
Q. -- Are there any reasons *not* to buy a Galaxy S-II (Epic)?
Q. -- It looks like there's a cagillion ROMs for Galaxy S-II. Will all of them work on Sprint's version of it (the Epic, which is a CDMA phone)? Or are some ROMs only available for the GSM versions of the handsets?
Q. -- I've never used ICS, but I suppose that I'd install an ICS ROM. Which one or two is considered the best (favoring stability over speed)?
Q. -- I've been running a wireless tethering app on my Droid Charge, instead of paying Big V thirty bucks a month for tethering privileges. Assuming that I root a Galaxy S-II (Epic), will I be able to tether from it, without getting nabbed by Sprint? Will I need an outside app to do that or will any rooted Galaxy S-II do this?
Thanks in advance.
A. Sprint may be getting the Galaxy Nexus soon. If you like the phone, that may be one reason not to buy the SGS2. New phones are coming very soon within the months.
A. All roms here in the i9100 section will NOT work the Sprint SGS2. Check out the Epic 4G section of XDa:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=713
A. Ask the question there regarding a good rom. It may be suggested to use a gingerbread rom for better stability.
A. You can try using certain apps in google play for tether. Again, just confirm with the epic 4g section if sprint watches this or not.
Thank you, Kaze105.
The Droid Charge has one forum for its GSM and CDMA versions, so I didn't think to look for a different forum for the Epic variant of the Galaxy S-II. Sorry to post in the wrong place, but thanks for the info.
Would the Nexus, once available, be considered superior to the Galaxy S-II (any variant)?
FYI, Sprint SGS2 is actually the Epic 4g Touch. It's forum is at http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1281.
As far as comparison to the Nexus, depends on your point of view. Nexus has no external sd card slot, but does come with AOSP Android, so no TouchWiz. Screen is different as well, as well as camera. It's a subjective thing.
So a friend of mine just bought a gsII that was modified to work with Verizon
and would like me to root the phone for him.
i have a few questions...
how can i tell what version of the phone he has?

Thanks in advance for any help.

First thing to check is the model of the phone. Look on the label under the battery. If it says "GT-I9100", then you're in the right place.
HOWEVER, since you say that the phone was modded to work on Verizon, there is about 0.001% chance that it is an I9100, since the I9100 is a GSM phone, and Verizon is a CDMA network.
The phone could possibly be an SPH-D710, which is the Sprint GS II, (aka Epic 4g Touch), or maybe an SCH-R760, which is the US Cellular GS II. These are the only two CDMA versions of the Galaxy SII that I know of. If it is one of these, for SURE DO NOT USE any firmwares or kernels from this (I9100) forum.
The Epic 4g Touch has a separate forum, and the SCH-R760 doesn't have a forum on XDA at all, at the moment. But I did find related threads for this model in the Epic 4g Touch forum.
how do i flash my phone
i have a samsung galaxy s2 sch-r760 that i bought on ebay. i was told it was flashed to verizon, but it didnt work. it is currently on u.s. cellular which is cdma plz help
Hello all. I am a longtime lurker. Been rooting and crack flashing since the OG Droid and then the ol' T-Bolt. Ifinally got fed up with Big Red and went to a bargain basement cellular provider that can flash phones. Service is not bad but they shut off the 4G access altogether and have no plans to develope it for flashed phones. Just wondering if any of you gurus could help me get my own 4G compatible with their network? I have a Verizon i605 Samsung Galaxy Note II. It is rooted and has custom 4.4.2, specifically R3Ds 5S Port 2.3 final. Any help someone could give me would be awesome! Thanks!
