My vibrant seems to be a bit bogged down and not as awesome as I first got it. There seems to be a little lag on live wall papers, when using a live wallpaper and going to my app window, it slightly lags, etc.
How do I make it run like new besides a factory reset. (ive done 3 already)

Good video, but which lag fix do I use? I see a lot of people are having trouble with the lag fixes.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
After hours of research for a lag fix, I am yet to be decided. Everyone seems contradictory and there seems no sure set way to do it. I do not want anymore problems on my phone.
I did root using that video in literally 5 minutes though.
Is there any EXACT guide on to how to install a root fix.

Has anyone had any luck getting Barnacle or Google's wifi-tether going on the i400?
Goods question. I'm curious for the answer.

That works if you root download the latest beta
Easy tether also works without root, but it's not a wireless tether.
Trailblazer101, I'll give the latest beta a shot. Thanks.

Worked fine!
Update (about 3 days late)
After flashing my GPAD to Vegan, I did get ad-hoc to work through the tether app installed on the continuum (for the newbies like myself: Android has adhoc connecting disabled by default, so you have to use -- from what I can tell -- a custom ROM to connect to an adhoc wireless connection).
The Continuum only needed to be rooted so tethering could be installed.
Trying to root my Continuum. Tried the one click but it just locked up my phone. Pulled battery, do I do it again?
I'm totally new on the androids.
suggestions?

Yes that is what I was referring to :-/
As of right now, you cannot root... I was previously rooted, but the update made it go away T_T. Bubby323 is getting a continuum for a little bit and should have it updated soon
I bought my Continuum yesterday, the 22nd. An update was immediately applied. Spent hours trying to root. Z4root (my go-to) wouldn't work after countless attempts. Gave up on an update.zip recovery. SUPERONECLICK is exactly how I was finally able to root...

anyone get wifi tether to work with froyo update?
ive been using wireless tether 3.0 beta without a problem just select sasmsung fascinate then enable softap mode.
works thanks
I'm currently using Open Garden. It seems to be working great so far. I actually paid for the full version of EasyTether, and there's problems with the Continuum and EasyTether. Evidentially, USB debugging times out after a while. It's no biggie though, for me, because using a wifi tether app is so much simpler.
The new beta from Google works the best because you can enable softap mode so linux and playstations will pick it up. Open garden, barnacle, the wireless tether from the market just use adhoc frequincies so not everything will pick it up.

Ahh... I was not aware of that. Thanks for that info!
The Google beta app works, but my primary problem with it is the fact that it turns off BT every time I tether. I'll be using Open Garden until a newer version is released that doesn't affect my BT connection.
I'm not rooted. I want to take screen shots. How?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I use Shootme from the market. Works like a charm and takes the best screenies on the DX with no annoying camera icon at the top like other apps.
I use it too Ben and like the new "movie" feature they added in the last update. But the OP can't use it since he is not rooted and Shotme requires root.
@qGa you will have to use ADB to get screen shots without root. Here is a how-to post for you to go through. If it was me I would just root with Z4Root. It's quick simple and doesn't break anything. It's what you do after you root that can muck up your phone but root by itself is safe.
Here's the link...

I updated my software that Sprint pushed roughly 2 wks ago. Using the new Telanav with 2.3, I realize it's more buggy. It takes long to load, often drops gps signal, and restarts whenever I get an incoming call. Anybody having these issues?

Should have never updated. To save battery Samsung cut back on satellite locks. Root with a custom kernel orf ROM with the GPS fix.

Clear the data and cache for that app, then "uninstall the update" and then reopen it and reinstall when prompted...or freeze the app after you root and use Google Nav instead!

I've heard about the GPS Fix, but I can't find it. Any ideas where it is? The search didn't help me, I guess I haven't gotten the hang of the weird XDA search.

There are some things that will allow you to temp unroot while you use apps like that but for a complete work around there is no option. Rooting is seen as a security flaw and that is why banking apps have made it so they dont work if root is detected.

Do you know what I can use to temp unroot my phone?
Have you actually checked whether or not your bank app checks for root?

Not all apps allow it. My banking app for the federal credit union doesn't allow rooted devices.
As for wanting the app. Check the market for temp unroot

Like others said it depends on the bank.
Since the op is in the UK, im guessing it's barclays i'm pretty sure they are the only uk bank who blocks root users. @Mubz_C you should go to Halifax, it's better

Ha... Even Halifax have said their next update will be an app that won't work on rooted devices, hopefully one of these root cloak apps will suffice as a workaround.

You had to expect it. I mean root is a security issue on devices. Last thing you need is a root app that has a built in Key logger.
Need help.. root cloack+xposed, magisk (hide root) can not help?
Please mandiri bank app still detect super su, busy box, xposed

There is no way to hide Xposed, u'll have yo disable it. Magisk works well if u don't have Xposed.
Ps: don't know what detection method the bank app u reference uses.
