I've been getting bored with my phone, not because its a older phone now but it just doesn't have that fun factor it had when I first got it.
Are there any new apps that make your phone exciting? I find myself doing the same thing over and over, go into the 9gag app look at memes, read the news a bit, go on xda, text etc.
Get an android tablet and root it. Thats what I did after getting tired of messing with this phone.

I always keep looking for random games. Sometimes go back for old ones and replay haha. Glad there's still development going on for this phone. Trying to hold out for that gs3
Glad to see xrider and mrrobc still hanging in the vibrant forums. But honestly no matter what device you use you will get bored of it eventually. I have 6 devices most do the same thing.
However what I enjoy is HDMI my fave games like mc3 to my bigscreen with surround sound. To me its way more challenging to any console I've played.

I bought a transformern too. Prime is full of bugs with crappy GPS and wifi (you have to be nearly sitting on top of your router) and ICS is extremely buggy. The Prime was nothing more than ASUS getting the Tegra3 chip out before anyone else, but with massive sacrifices.
Manus - PMe me when you get yours and I will get you some link to rooting and recovery. There are 3 different ways depending on your build number.

How about an obscure body in the S-K System? You can play with it awhile...before annihilation.

You could flash MIUI, which has tons of themes avadible. Plus if you dont like having any launcher, you could just install one from the market.

Got mine in the mail today and its very impressive...I notice slight lag when scrolling thru the home screens, but I'm sure a custom kernel/ROM can fix that. Not sure why is there for some and not others. I was thinking maybe it has something to do with the touch screen being calibrated to accept the S-pen? And there's acceptable variances/tolerances in manufacture and programming? IDK but I am still impressed with this device. It took next to no time at all to adjust to the size. Just have to convince my girl to accept the GSII as hand me down phone to justify the second line now on my contract!

7510 is the wifi model. Run to the developmemt thread and flash galaxy task14
Get Visidon from the market for face unlock
Get Camera ICS+ to get panorama photo capability
Get Veetle for your movie viewing enjoyment
And that concludes my 2 cents

Good thread. I am looking to buy a tablet and the Samsung 7510 is on sale today. Thought about getting the Acer, but does not look like much development is going on over there. PLUS, with Samsung, I get the amoled screen
Been flashing my Vibrant, then Galaxy S2, and finding some great ROMS along the way. I only hope there are some great ROMS for the 7510.

Like I said in your previous thread buddy You need the tegra2 plugin to make proper use of the core's since by default it feel's rushed?
So this guy i work with tells me he was talking to 2 guys who work down the street at CDW. Apparently they both had Notes. But, they somehow managed to be running Honeycomb on them. Possible? Now this guy I work with knows cell phones pretty good so I have no reason to doubt him but I figured I'd ask anyway.

No sir. Honeycomb only came in 3.0, 3.0.1, 3.1 and 3.2 I believe.
3.2.6 was released last month - for a Xoom connectivity issue.

Even still, no one has it running on the Note.
okay so while i was at the fair tonight, i rode one too many rides and threw up on myself and had to go home (lame me) and in the process of getting in the car i stripped down to my boxers and shoes in order to not get vomit all in my car. well stupid me forgot to take my phone, which i had layed on top of the car, off of the top of the car before i left and didn't realize it until i got home... my question is does anyone know any apps that can decently ping the phone without the gps being on (or turn the gps on and do it) it has my google account on it so i can load apps but i can't set them up... please help i just got this phone last week and love it...
There are plenty of free apps in the play store under 'lost phone' - everyone I've ever tried you had to setup on your phone first. Do you have insurance? Either way brother, good luck finding it.

i am on cm10
Thinking about getting one. I know someone who has a t-mobile one.
Is it easy to root/unlock. I'd love to play with CM10 on it does it run well?
Other than GPS and intermittent 911 issues, the CM10 based ROMs that I've used run nicely.
As far as unlocking, you can simply download a free market app that will unlock your Vibrant.
For a phone that has been out now for.... over two years? It still hangs tough with the big boys in my opinion. If you have the opportunity to get one, my advice would be to go ahead and give it a shot. I think you'll like it.
You were just sliced bread before you were burnt by the toaster.
As my boy toaster said, this phone is the little android that could. Samsung and
T-homobile wrote this device off, never updating past froyo. Well the beautiful minds of cyanogen/xda community knew that the capabilities of this device was greater so we got cm7/GB based ROMs. The haters said this device wouldn't run ICS, the great minds proved that it would. Now JB ROMs are running smooth!! My 2 1/2 year old phone is running android 4.1.2, while over 90% of new phones are still on ICS.
If you find a vibrant for sale, for a good price, grab it!
** Make sure its the t959 3g, not a t959v 4g. The t959v has a front facing camera, runs 4g*, and comes with inception on it.
But the t959v only has a 4gb internal SD card vs the vibes 16gb SD card. It is limited because of that, not nearly as many people dev'ing for it.
**very easy to root etc if you read and follow directions!
No tickee, no laundry!
I always go back to this device after using much more expensive ones for some reason. I don't like new phones that lack microSD slot and transfer using MTP mode. My previous S3 had MTP issues that cause transferring to be extremely slow and freeze up midway.
This thing run JellyBean surprisingly smooth. GPS just need an easy hardware fix. It can playback HD MKV videos without problems if you're using the right software. The only lacking thing about this phone is the GPU which can't handle new games anymore.
Side note, I just rebought a Nexus S because my Vibrant charging port broke, but it's actually not as good. Has issue with slow USB transferring with ICS and JB that haven't been fixed since forever. The camera despite LED flash is not as good and worthless for macro and nightshots. I don't understand this, but for a Nexus device, it's actually less stable than the Vibrant with reboots with stock roms. Also Semaphore kernel and its manager app for the Vibrant has more customization than the Nexus S kernels.
With that said this phone is getting dated. I'm still searching for a proper upgrade, with 4-4.3" screen, removable battery, pentaband or with 1700 and 1900 3g band, microsd slot, a better camera, higher than 800x480 res, and Cyanogenmod supported. I haven't found a device that meet these criterias yet, the Blaze come close and just got CM10 supported so it might be better to get than the Vibrant at this point. Looking at new phones, some missing features of the LG Nexus 4 is more if a backward step to me than an upgrade. The S3 mini looks more like a lackluster attempt by Samsung to cash off their S3 popularity, I might had been interested if it had a higher res screen.

i have t-mobile t959 vibrant which feels great to have. Yes I ran froyo for sometime since I was waiting for official updates which wasn't available till NOW. these guys doin amazing work getting new android versions on vibrant. I am running ICS on my vibe which looks great. no hassles. Yeah. It will run JB too definitely. **As samsgun357 mentioned make sure to get t959**
Grad a vibe n you will know what its capable of

The t959 is way underated, especially with the quality of devs that have contributed. Cm10 is in progress, but thats the fun. Shes a honey bunny with a nice screen.
Ah I would donate mine, but its dead. I loved the vibe, it was an awesome phone. Now I got the gs3, and I miss hellybean and cm10. Get it! If youre to cheap, do some stripping for a few days
