congrats. i don't have enough money to get n e phone. im saving for something else. I don't want to pay contract either. they are annoying and they are more expensive than prepaid...
if i was gonna get anyphone, it would either be the HTC one x or the galaxy note 2... both coming to TMobile USA
I dont like HTCs.. they are so complex to root.. S-ON, bootloader,Hboot, radio with 15 digit version code.. cant they make it simple??
LG is far easy to play with!!

Complexity is a small price to pay for a good phone but I also consider complexity a good learning experience..

A good learning experience if you have a contract phone,atleast you get it replaced...if I want a better phone I have to look thru eBay or Craigslist....I agree HTC phones are a bit annoying to root,I had a g1 in 08 and it was a pain in my ass...I got this LG almost two years ago and all I had to do was use gingerbreak than use flash image to flash recovery.....in order for me to root the Samsung Galaxy S 4g I have to use a tool called Odin one click....so basically even rooting the SGS wont be as easy as this LG was but atleast it has more ram and its an armv7 device

Grab it if it's only $200.
That's actually a good price for a GS4G. It doesn't have much development yet, but it will as soon as Krylon has a working CWM for it.
At this point, and with you having 2 vibrants, there really is no point in dropping the 200 on a Galaxy S 4G. Yes, they have root, but almost developers other than Krylon are supporting it and no Vibrant roms, i9000, or any other Galaxy S series roms work on it. So basically, you are stucked with a rooted stock 2.2.1.
And to be truthful, I doubt any other developers will support it, seeing as though many have already bought the G2X or are waiting on other dual core devices.
How is the stock rom? I mean is it laggy like my 3g?

It is Android 2.2.1 so it is better than the stock Vibrant. But with a custom rom the Vibrant 3g is faster, especially on CM7.

I do not understand why people in this forum are going crazy over the mytouch 4g. If you are going to root both devices anyways, and install a custom rom, you do realize that the two devices are basically the same right? My Vibrant on CM7 plus an otterbox commuter feels solid and runs like a dream.

I have one running trigger and the other bionix v 1.3.1. How is cm7? On their website they said vibrant not supported, that's why I am skeptical about flashing it. Is it problem free?

Honestly, I would buy the GS4G for $200 and sell one of my Vibrants. You should be able to get $200 for your 3G Vibrant if it is in good condition. That way, you have a GS4G and GS3G, without an end cost. If nothing else, just buy the GS4G and turn around and sell it. You should be able to make at least $100 on it assuming it is like new. So, either way, buy it. Just my two cents.
dont buy it, it dont even have internal memory, i rooted one and odin to kc1 nd tried to add the lockscreens and power menu options from whitehawks and it said there was no space and i had to odin again
How do "you" discribe root to your non-tech savy friends? I am looking for fun ways to explain the basics without having people fall asleep on me.
Sent from the grassy knoll using xda app-developers app
I describe root like this: Root gives you full access to your phone's features that are otherwise locked out by the carriers or manufacturers. If they seem interested, I then go into details of the features and benefits like a salesman (my retail background from my college days I guess). I talk about backing up data, etc.
Non root: Standard user on computer
Root: Administrator user on computer
Easiest way to explain for me.
See how my phone's faster than yours even though yours has higher specs? That's 'cos I've got root!
The Roots are a hip hop, soul band who are well known for their eclectic approach to music including a touch of jazz. They have collaborated on many occations with different vocalists (personal favorite being the cover of Hard Times done with John legend). They are currently acting as the house band for Jimmy Kimmel's late night show.
Well done drachen! Tip of the hat for you sir!

How about this one: The extra freedom you get with rooted vs unrooted is equivalent to the extra freedom of Android vs iPhone.

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.

Ya if you wanna sell the cabinet DNA get it unlocked. Will increase value. Atleast by the ammount you spend on getting it rooted if not more. Besides, it will increase your chances of selling it at all
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
I think as it ages it will be more likely to hold a better resale value when unlocked. Like say in three months, it would seem to me that the phone being collectable or so rare wouldnt mean squat since it will be an antiquated phone.
But if its unlocked and a user can run custom roms, it will increase its appeal because many people buy older phones because they are cheaper and they can run custom software to increase performance or make the phone seem more modern than it is.
Does anyone happen to know if you can pull the cpu binning info on a stock locked phone?
If the red presidents cabinet phone is binned better than your first phone, it should be more stable at higher overclock speeds with less voltage. You can Google DNA CPU binning for more information and when someone comments on if it can be pulled with ADB on a locked phone ill help you check them both.

I would love root on this phone for a lot of reasons and I hope soon but **** it out, but if not, it happens, my turbo never got a proper root and 1/2 root cost $20. This device is pretty snazzy stock, but it would fly rooted

Agreed. I believe that the OEM unlock option in the developer options could make rooting possible on this device, but with KNOX, I'm not sure if there would be a way to root, even with OEM unlock on...
