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.

This is what I did. Also got a ffc that should be coming next week that I can install in my phone

Just put ICS on my vibrant which will hopefully keep it interesting until I can upgrade in a few months. Also got a Kindle Fire that i'm messing with.
I just picked up a galaxy s 2 instead of making a thread id like to say goodbye to all of you great devs (xrider ,alan ,and s1 ) for the great run. Hope to see you guys someday.

How about an obscure body in the S-K System? You can play with it awhile...before annihilation.
@ woodrube thanks man no doubt I saw that a lot of people said the original was better than the prime and I was able to get the 32 gb version for 399 on best buy.

ICS has really brought new life to my phone.. I like showing off the features to friends who have just upgraded to newer phones

just got a new prime 2 days ago and updated it to the official Asus ICS and about 3 hours ago this thing has gone into a reboot frenzy major deal breaker!I read theres another Asus update fix this week.If it doesn't help I'm paying bestbuy a little visit
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.

Did you try selecting with the home button, please tell me you did

Yes I did and it won't let me go into download mode
Can you force download mode by plugging in while holding sound up and dowb and power buttons or is it just sound up and down?
Edit-
On the i9100 thread you already asked in.

Grab a pit file for your i777 and push it with odin. Then your partition will be recovered.

I saw you asked if it worked for i777 if its not in this section don't try to flash it to this phone. There the same phone but its not exactly the same so that's why we have ports from the i9100 from the first 5-6 pages I read they are hardly able to get things fully working and a list of broken items like wifi camera ect.

Had the same problem trying to root and flash 1900. Phone did some weird things when I kept trying to boot it but, finally it went to the download screen (don't know y it didn't the 10 other times) and I flashed the original.zip and went through the motions again and all is fine now.

I was just gonna say, when they get into Download mode and check that flash counter, or see that yellow triangle, that replacement is gonna cost you full price.. And you can bet they'll automatically tack it on to your next bill.

I'd like to let him sit and squirm thinking he'll get it full price and someone will get grounded but if it didn't flash would it count?

You're mean
I don't know for sure, but I would imagine if it didn't flash, the counter won't trigger and he'll be OK. That's why I asked about the recovery - if it's still stock the flash probably didn't take. If it is a custom recovery, it probably means that the flash took and borked his phone...that would be the case where I would think he could expect a hefty phone bill when they catch on...
Well they would charge him for shipping the new phone checking the old phone, won't be pretty lol. This is what you get for just diving into flashing formware , I read the topic he flashed from and I knew it wasn't good for our phone yet it wasn't ported to i777 so there's no way I'd flash that.

Lol no i reset the counter before i bricked and it is stock i9100 recovery so they look the same but the button configuration is different

Your phone was totally recoverable. In my view, you should have taken responsibility for your actions, and stayed with the issue till you fixed it.
It's a shame, and just plain wrong, when people abuse the warranty to get a new phone for free when the problem was due to their own actions. It's like stealing. From my time in the forum, however, it seems to be rather common behavior. I even see a post from time to time where one person advises another to do this.
At least AT&T/Samsung wind up with a phone which can be repaired and resold.
And now, since you sent them an I777 which boots to stock I9100 recovery, you will have a month or two of existential anxiety while you wait to see if they charge you full price for the phone, as written in their warranty.

Oh goodie! You messed up your phone and got AT&T to fix it by giving you a new phone, the cost of which they can easily pass on to their other users.:good:
If u screw up yer phone, and u don't want to bother with trying to get "technical" and figure it out, there is a good chance this cycle will repeat itself. I would suggest taking a few days and just pouring over all information available here on how to do things and getting things properly understood before u go about flashing again.

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.

no i didnt have insurance thanks though!

Just send it the people who receive them don't give a ****. They just load the correct software on it and go to the next phone...I and many other people have done this a bazillion times. In fact I've never returned a phone that wasn't rooted AND running a custom rom.

So no one had an issue returning a Rezound that was unlocked through HTC's website but then relocked before returning? They don't check to see if it says re-locked?

In fact, some people have received devices that passed the "100 point inspection" that still had CWM or CyanogenMod still on them
I returned an incredible that still had cwm on it and a rezound that said relocked on it with no problem at all, I wouldn't doubt that they make that statement just to scare you into not doing it.

Just acquired a incredible 4g, finally get to upgrade forums. I need some questions answered tho. I have a unaltered device and use page plus. The following are things I need to know please. Yes I have searched but nothing real recent and prefer advice from people here.
**how to flash for use on page plus. Step by step.
**should device be rooted prior to the page plus flash.
**phone still has SIM card with it, should this stay?
SIM need to be altered in anyway?
Best to remove SIM if no global travel.
**any other advice that anyone feels useful. Very excited to get started. Thanks in advance.

Go to one of your locale page plus dealers. They should be able to tell you if it is compatible with the network and flash or for you.

did not really have the extra cash but ended up having it flashed. had hoped to find some way of saving that $50 but well worth the cost.
