Just got my vibrant today and it auto locks almost immediately. Does anyone have a fix for this? Thanks in advance.

It's under settings->sound and display... 1 minute works great and under the appliactions->Development you can also set it so that it doesn't turn off while plugged into USB (charging). That was a god send when I rooted and put the deodexed ROM on.

Thanks for the quick reply. Do u know if there is a easy way to keep it from [email protected] all? I would prefer to just lock myself...

Get NoLock from the market.
Yes, nolock. An essential item. I pity all the regular people that don't go on forums with these phones, Samsung and Android are really going to alienate a lot of them. I suppose regular people go for the iphone though so maybe I don't have a point after all.
There is an awesome app called LockDelay that allows you to screen-off your phone after whatever time you specify, and then it will automatically lock it after yet another time you specify.
I HIGHLY recommend it, it really allows you to secure your phone and save your battery by turning that screen off.

Just sold a Vibrant in my T-Mobile store today. My rep was showing the customer hers and the customer asked her opinion, he also noticed I had one (I'm the store manager) so I walked over and struck up some conversation to close the deal. As I scrolled through the screen he noticed the XDA app icon and inquired about it. I gave him a few pointers and explained he should joined because there's a wealth of knowledge to be found on these forums. I've found having that little app installed on my phone, as well as our Android live demos is a nice way to introduce customers and new Android owners to XDA.
stock phone is very good. but after customizing, it becomes a whole different android experience.
Thanks for all the tips... I installed no lock, and set the screen to a min an its doing the trick.
Side note, its amazing that I could make the jump from blackberry an transition to the vibrant, can u think of 2 more different phones.

They are two very different phones, but as someone works in the industry, my opinion is that RIM hasn't helped themselves by keeping the Berry in the "stone age." Don't get me wrong. I understand they still have a strong following and a huge success in the business market, but Android is catching up and can be used just as well if you have the right phone. Glad you made the jump and the transition is going well.
Video calling was working just fine on my XOOM until the above update so.....has anyone got an APK for the previous version that they could possibly link me to?
I dunno if anyone else uses it but today when we tried to call my dad, the XOOM just locked up and was locked in the call with black video window. Very frustrating and my daughter really wanted to see her grandad.
So, any help greatly appreciated. ;-)
This version is pretty old but its the only one that works problem free on my Nexus One

Funny you say that, 'cause about an hour after the update I made a ~10-minute Video call to Israel (and one later within Cali, a lot less interesting ) and it worked flawlessly, w/o even any sync or lag issues.
Did you try rebooting? I'm rooted and overclocked, but I suspect that's had very little to do with my good performance.
Well i managed to track down 2.5.0.160 which seems to be the one i had prior to the issues and all is well again.
Thanks for responding guys.

I have the same problem with my Galaxy S WIFI 5.0. After update, the front/back camera is upside down.
Can place the apk somewhere accessible on the internet? Many many thanks.

Yeh, it's a shame the OP of that one didn't search first...eh? What with this one being dated prior to that one and all......
I've had my first S4 for 7 days. Needed 3 hard resets in the first week - UI freezes, hangs etc. Took it back to Telstra, confirmed bad hardware and gave me a new phone. Second handset has been fantastic - fast, smooth, stable.
Most Samsung features work pretty well - drama shot for junior sports coaching is an excellent idea. Love the fact that I can upgrade storage via SD card, link with Dropbox and can swap the battery for higher capacity if needs be. No need as yet - heavy use and my battery lasts more than 10 hours.
If you experience any interface issues, get the handset swapped: probably just a rare lemon. Thanks to everyone who responded on this thread.
Initial issues: features are unstable (gestures, air view, smart scroll, interface and keyboard hangs).
Now I definitely don't regret this new phone having used many different types over the years (Blackberry, HTC TiTan Windows mobile, iPhone 3, iPhone 4, now Android).
Send it back to Telstra for a replacement

LOL, a new sd card won't enhance performance btw...

Should be fine. No issues what so ever with mine on Optus - rooted and remove all Optus craps.
Of course it will. When you have all your music, pictures and some data sitting on a slow device (like an old sd card), then indexing slows down (picture gallery, videos, music. map data). Like any IT system, a fast phone will be slowed down by the slowest link - if that bottleneck is the sd card, then it needs to be remediated.
That is the reason why I did not get the S4. To new technology for me to mess with.

Will definitely update the thread title to more accurately reflect my experience with the device. But surely I need more than 3 hours for the device to prove itself??
Flash performance, and SW performance degrades over time, so I'm giving this phone 48 hours to prove it's stable, before changing my mind.
I'm not convinced yet, but at least the signs are positive in the first 3 hours.

Of course I will, once satisfied this was just a bad piece of hardware one-off. But performance degraded over time, I will post updates over the weekend and hopefully change this title to "satisfied" on Sunday (ie 48 hours to ensure it was just an anomaly)
Yep, i think you got a lemon

24 hours after exchanging the handset, I must say this one is much more stable and I have confidence in my choice again.Hopefully it continues to please and there's no freeze. 24 hours now of smooth use, no hangups/freezes.
But, the native email app crashes every now and then, only while checking Exchange emails. Anybody else seeing that?

My first 5-6 days with this phone were pretty solid.
Now, once or twice a day the phone will just start hanging, and eventually freeze, requiring a battery pull.
This will happen randomly. No particular app that I can pinpoint is contributing.
I have noticed it seems to have occurred some times when either an email or text is arriving.
It also has happened without an email or text coming in.
Of course it may be an app. I am dreading a factory reset, but think I need to. Then will load the apps fresh from the Play store instead of transferring them from my previous Note 4 like I did initially.
I searched online regarding this issue....there are only 2 YouTube videos from users. One said he just had a bad phone, exchanged it, and is now fine. Other comments pointed to Facebook app vs using the Samsung 256 gig memory card (from Note 7 owners, which is what I am actually doing).
Any tips on how to stop this vs how to capture what is causing this is appreciated.
FWIW: using the BlueMail and Textra for default apps.
I've noticed this too using the sprint version. I have to reboot the phone to fix it

Sometimes it is hung up so much I cant reboot and am forced to take off my case and pull the battery. There has never been an overheating issue for me.

My phone [Sprint] also does this. The entire phone locks up requiring a battery pull. Hope to find a solution soon.

Sent from my LG-LS997 using Tapatalk
Same thing started happening to me - week 3 with T-Mobile variant.
Thanks for heads-up on this potential issue, I'm on day 2 of this device, and it seems fine thus far, but I'll be on the look out...perhaps a reboot once a week like the Samsung devices will help.
I'm still unhappy about Sprint leaving out the lg gallery app, and the content lock with this app. I tried the side loaded lg gallery apk, and although it installs okay, the lock feature doesn't work!
Sent from my LG-LS997 using Tapatalk
Never had this happen, on sprint, had the phone since before the official release
Am on T-Mobile. I was having to do a battery pull once or twice a day. I gave up and did a reset and reinstall. Never had an LG phone before and tried out the Backup and Restore program. Worked fine although I didn't try reinstalling any of my Exchange accounts for fear of corruption or deletion of emails, calendar events, contacts.
Was happy with the speed of the reinstall. Especially with the sms. I have about 16,000 sms and mms. When I got this phone I used that and it took almost 6 hours to restore those messages. With the LG backup and restore, everything took less than 3 hours.

Probably after it is available as a final for Nexus devices...AKA 2017. Even Nexus phones are beta-ing until 2017 probably.
I've had my Sprint model since day 2 and it has never done this.
Looks like it might have been Lux and its persistent notification that was responsible for the slowdowns. I disabled it and everything seems must faster.
Lux? As in the app to control brightness?
Sent from my LG-LS997 using Tapatalk
Never had any lag or freezing on mine either. Have had since sprint release day, didn't restore or transfer anything over. Everything was setup as new, just transferred sd card with music and pictures.

Yes Lux the brightness app. I noticed the worst lag when pulling down the notification drawer and thought it might be related to Lux's brightness widget, which seems to have proved to be the case. Disabling its notification privileges and haven't seen any lag all day.
Never had even a moment of hesitation since owning the phone (Verizon).
