5.1 Channel Surround Sound?

So I love this phone. I received it yesterday, and I can get a very accurate GPS lock in about three seconds, without the 'fix'. I havent noticed a single problem with the phone. The only thing I have a question about is this 5.1 Channel Surround Sound. It says you can only use it in headphone mode-but when I put in the headphones that came with the Vibrant the only thing I notice is it makes the movie/music higher pitched. Is that all it does or am I missing something?

It's an SRS sound processing effect, best for movies since you can't adjust the "TruBass", "Dialog Clarity", "Center/Surround" or "Focus"..
IMHO some of us would be loving a true SRS iWOW DSP, and not this crap Samsung gave us. It's best left off for music and it probably isn't that great for movies

Boy, ain't that the truth!
If there is some developer out there PLEASE port SRS WoW to
the android platform...!
Or at least give us some way to set the sound options on the
video player. I really like this phone but, even with headphone on
it's sometimes very hard to hear movies while they are playing.

Mine was the same way until I rooted it.
After I rooted it I went from 18 hour battery life to 6-8 and the freezing problem got really really bad, the more apps I put on the phone the worse it got, it got to the point were I got a black screen for 3-5 minutes every other app I opened.
My GPS also worked perfectly but I try the 1st "fix" and I had nothing but problem ever sense I did it.
I returned mine for a new one and everything worked great except the GPS and I applied the 2nd fix and all works great now.
Moral of the story is
If it's not broke don't fix it
I'm not going to root my phone until things are ironed out.

I loved reading what uninformed users think. The Update.zip only installs Superuser.apk, SU, and Busybox. All three only run when called upon by another application, and then exit. You battery issues are unrelated, more than likely caused by leaving your brightness up too high, or wifi or bluetooth on. The lag is a known issue by Samsung. It is caused by the way app data is stored, and can be remedied by moving the datadb to another partition and sym-linking. Blaming these problems on rooting is like blaming a flat tire on the oil change you got last week, it's just ignorant and uninformed.
Also, all of this is unrelated to the original post, so please, stop trying to thread jack and take your misinformed opinion elsewhere.

Well, I don't know how rooting cause all that, 'cause all rooting the vibrant consists of is copying Superuser.apk, su and busybox over.

Zing!
That was a bit harsh.

[Q] Are you going back to 2.1

Just taking an assessment here of the number of people going back to 2.1 and waiting out the OTA from Sprint.
I am not... I Repeat NOT looking to start a thread over whether or not it's worth it or a good idea. I am not looking to know what problems you are having or solutions you have found. There are a million threads to go over these issues.
Just taking a count here. Perhaps to help me in deciding whether or not its worth it to go through reinstalling all those apps and whatnot based on what the masses seem to be thinking.
OK if you guys want to use this as yet another repository for conversations on the pros and cons and problems you are having when you switch back please feel free...

I already have. For me, di18 runs circles around froyo. I don't think this is the final froyo. It's too goddamn slow and buggy. If it is, then this is the most sorry ass excuse for a final release from samsung/sprint. I'd give it the golden turd award.
P.S. I'm running stock rooted only.

Even if its "buggy" and/or a bit "laggy", froyo let's me do what I want on my phone..so I could bare with it as I have been for like 2 months aready

No. I've been on the stock rom since I got an epic at the end of October, and this leak is by far the best rom I've used. I have absolutely no problems with this rom whatsoever. The one minor quirk is the screen lag when I open and close my keyboard, the home screen take a second to populate the icons and stuff. Other than that, I really don't have any major problems with this release at all.

DK28 feels like somehow I flashed Windows Mobile 6.5 on my phone. Launcher Pro is buggy and crashes at least several times per day. The phone freezes all the time and i have to mash the home key a hundred times to correct it, and then its vibrating for like 20 seconds registering the previous 100 hits of the home key. The browser is checkerboarding and WTF did my bookmarks go in the browser? Seriously, when you are in the browser, how do you access your bookmarks? They are no where to be found. Random apps are having anywhere from minor to major problems, most of which I fix manually through root explorer and correcting permissions. I did flash it correctly, so its not an issue with that. That said, its a PITA to flash back to DI18 and ive been putting it off. Gonna wait until I am mid throw chucking my phone against a wall, and then I will stop myself and flash back to DI18 that evening.

I guess I'm lucky with DK28. My phone has no ill effects.

Same here. I'm keeping 2.2. It runs faster, smoother, and battery last longer. I have had no app conflicts. I'm came from unrooted stock epic, and just downloaded file from google the day it came out to my phone. Used my phone to change the name of the file, and used stock recovery to update. No probs what so ever.

As a former Windows Mobile 6.5 user, I would like you to know that even WM6.5 on a TP2 is much more enjoyable to use than DK28.
That having been said, I went from DK28 back to Epic Experience.

Well a couple of things...
1) I think its funny that this has been viewed (at this point) 111 times, but only 17 people were willing to click yes no or considering it. I guess I should have included an option for those people who never flashed the update to begin with.
2) I updated on the day it was released as well. I had to do the flash back to get the GPS working again, but as of now the only real issue I have appears to be the accelerometer rotation lag.
@JSarella and @muyoso: I also was Stock ROM and rooted before the update and just used the update.zip method. However, I am not sure if that makes a difference with regard to the results of flashing to DK28.
@mxcoldhit: The battery life is amazing. I don't even have to use JuiceDefender, I can keep my screen at a normal brightness, have 2 email accounts pushing all day long, listen to an hour of music, make a couple of calls, play some games/do some light browsing, and still have battery to spare... just incredible to me the difference from 2.1 where I could hardly go a few hours of the day and do anything on the phone (without using JD).
I just felt like my phone was a bit snappier on eclair, and have been considering how much that snappiness is worth to me. I have backed up with CWM, so its not such a hassle, but I do love the battery life, flash support, and general feel of Froyo and know I would miss it as I wait at least 3 weeks for a final release. Also, who knows when an RC2 will be released and how much more careful Sprint will be as they actually caught wind of this one and all the excitement around it... I partially wonder if they did it as a teaser just to get a sense of how the community is feeling or to throw us off the scent of the gingerbread rumor... WHO KNOWS!!! Anywho, thanks to everyone who has responded, and I will keep checking in from time to time to see how it looks and what people are choosing to do based on their own personal experiences with DK28.

Already went back, didn't waste any time.

DK28 has been a great experience for me! Faster, smoother, more responsive than DI18 (or earlier) ever was! Dunno what some of you have done to your phones but DK28 has been running circles around the previous Eclair builds for the Epic 4G. My phone has only been on stock and never rooted. Also did a factory reset prior to DK28 so maybe that's why it has been such an utter joy for me.
Not going back and I'd be an idiot to do so!

I'm staying. I haven't had any problems and this thing runs so smooth now. This probably isn't final, but its close.

Only issue that i am having is that my gps is trashed and doesn't want to work. I haven't tried to fix it yet i may just wait and see if there will be another update soon. All in all i love it. I would suggest that once flashed do a wipe, that cleared out most of the bugs. Frustrating downloading apps again but worth it.

After this morning I am going to have to go with likely to go back. Over time I am finding more and more bugs with DK28. This morning I was driving to work, I keep my phone linked to my car with bluetooth for slacker radio. Twice it loses it's connection and I was like what the hell.... so I look at my phone and it says 2 missed calls which should have gone through the bluetooth but instead just killed the data connection. Then 5 minutes later my whole notification bar goes green. Not a normal green, a look like a video card crashing green /w lines through it.
I just keep seeming to find random bugs here and there and it is getting a bit annoying. I may just wait it out until Samsung figures this whole froyo thing out.

LOL! I guess I'm not the only one but I wouldn't go as far to say it is as bad as WinMo 6.5 even though certain things do remind me of my Touch Pro 2. I have realized that this isn't Froyo. It's FRUITCAKE!

I already went back - came from rooted stock, went back unrooted so OTA will work.
My battery SUCKED - I am used to getting a normal day's use with a lot left, I was having to plug in mid afternoon/dinner time. Just like before the 9/30 update and still doing all the tricks to keep battery down, ie airplane toggle, kill all Media, check Wifi status, etc. I HATE to plug in my phone for what I consider normal usage, not high tech, downloading, playing games. I almost returned it in Sept for this, will not go there again.
And GPS did NOT work, no has codes, nothing. I am going on vacation and really need GPS, so that was the final straw.
Liked - phone did seems snappier and faster. changing dock station icons
pics and some programs came up faster
Disliked - email was really slow messaging was different, screens bright was
ok but got popups (might be me and settings)
Didn't have calibration/rotation problems, didn't check camera, no dropped calls
Just lost too much and didn't gain enough to continue. I'm glad those above did well, it could depend on how you use it as well as how it was loaded, no idea, but battery for me was nightmare and unacceptable.

No, not going back unless I have to to get the next update. Battery life is significantly improved and everything is as snappy as it was before, and my gps is working even if it comes on while 4g is connected. No crashes yet and I have been running it since about 5 minutes after the link to the update.zip was posted.
And to access bookmarks in the browser you have to press the button next to the addres bar when a page is not loading. I hope they put it back into the bottom menu though.

Edit:
I haven't made up my mind yet. Many of the froyo roms seem to have minor issues here and there, but are otherwise usable.

Who has gone back to DI18 after trying EB13?

Returned to stock DI18 yesterday after experiencing glaring issues within less than one day of using EB13. That's a testament to how bad it is. EB13 is definitely not ready for prime time and must've been rushed out with glaringly known issues to appease the public with a 2.2 release. The stability, functionality and feature loss are not worth whatever minor gains in EB13 Froyo 2.2 such as bluetooth voice dialing, in-browser Flash support, etc. For now DI18 is the way to go for stability (record 600+ hours uptime before forced reboot) and for the most part everything work or have work around. Froyo 2.2 update is a failure for Sprint in comparison to T-Mobile Vibrant because theirs actually made improvements and resolve issues.
Method of upgrade was ODIN to stock DI18, run Samsung update for EB13, boot into recover mode, cleared cache and applied factory defaults.
EB13 issues found within a short time span and was concerned what else might surface:
- Instability, phone shut down when clicking on a link in browser
- Video camera live view and recording lag. I use the video camera every day so it was glaringly obvious.
- Graphical glitch in browser when dragging page where a block of the page is offset. This is glaringly obvious too and surprised it got by QA.
- Samsung update hung towards the end on second flash, good thing for old reliable stand-alone ODIN

You should try ODINing to EB13 rather than the Samsung method, most users so far have had a nearly flawless EB13 experience

I think it really depends on the exact methods people are using to upgrade. I haven't had any glaring issues, just some small things that existed on the stock 2.1, like weird button miss presses, some keyboard lag. Just waiting for a good EB13 rom before I say anything is defunct.

I wouldnt go all the way back to eclair....try if u don't like eb13 use dk28 I haven't gone to eb 13 but if I don't like how eb13 rides im going to dk28 especially now with a OC kernal

If I only had one Epic, I would stay on di18, or a custom ROM based on di18. Since I have 2 Epics, one will stay on di18 and the other will continue to beta test Froyo ROMs. There is little progress between dk28 and EB13. Most of the bugs from dk28 still exist in the latest release. I really hope our devs here can clean this mess up.

Im sad to say. But I just did. The low fps on low light video recording killed EB13 for me. Useless since I go out and do pegan nightime rituals and record the clan meeting. Now instead of having awesome night time videos off me wearing my long night hooded warlock trechcoat, it looks like a disaster video of blurr. How can I continue my rituals with this shat samsung!? Foorrrr shaaaammme!

At first I went back to a rooted/customized DI18. Unfortunately, the damn system update message kept popping up saying that an update was available and needed to install. I eventually got sick of the message and flashed the phone to Froyo using Odin. What do I have to remove to prevent the system update from trying to update my rooted phone?

You can delete the system updater.apk in the system/app directory. This will prevent your phone from downloading and prompting you to update.

Color me lucky?
Used Samsung method after returning to stock. Battery, GPS et al rock solid on EB13. Enjoyed Bonsai, but am now "in the groove" - custom ROM had some nice details, but gaps as well. EB13 is a hi function 4G smarter phone for me!

I did. After the latest issue of losing 4G for 2 days straight I reinstalled eb13 and nothing. I went back to DI18 and 4G came right up, what a shocker.
EDIT: I'm running on midnight ROM eb13 4.0 and with the new wired tether apk posted in the themes and apps area, my phone is running flawlessly! I just had to correct this post.

I went back. I record videos all the time and that's what killed it for me. Even in still-camera mode the pictures look almost pastel, hate it.

I'll be going back to Eclair. I really didn't like anything froyo had to offer besides the updated youtube app (if I can't get that on 2.1) and flash support.
I just got froyo this morning OTA, went to class, came home and flashed it again hoping to fix my main problems. Didn't work. I just got done wiping my phone, flashing DI18, reboot, flashing EB13, and still it's still messed up.
I really don't care about the camcorder deal because I don't use it often but the laggy sleep/wake and no auto correct are really annoying for me. I only use my epic for browsing here and there and mainly texting/music. Now the audio sounds bad and on top of that my dictionary vanished. I don't even know if anyone else is having this problem because no one seems to say anything about it. Not to mention they changed the call log (the little phone button) and you can't toggle through ringtone volume>vibrate>silent any more with the volume buttons.
Gonna go back to DI18, root, remove system updater(thanks for that tip^), fix the yamaha calibutil thing, and sit happily while I wait for a stable(r) release. What a pain.

Well, I'm done messing with this phone. It has been in a desk drawer for 2 months waiting for an upgrade. Now that it officially has Froyo, I can advertise it as such and sell it on eBay. It's back to the EVO for me until my contract renewal comes up. From there, who knows. I loved the screen but hate the bugs!

This is pretty sad. All of the people in this forum griped and moaned and yelled about not having froyo, now that they got it they dont want it. Bunch of kids
Now I dont profess to be an expert, but the low light thing is there, it is a bug and im sure they will fix it. is it a deal breaker? OMG no it isnt.

Music skipping?

My epic keeps skipping while playing music. Its only once every few minutes, but it throws you out of the mood. It happens with multiple players - Mort, poweramp, stock. I'm on ACS frozen, so voodoo audio is on there. Some of the files being played are ogg, as well as mp3. Anyone have any ideas on stopping it?

I had the same problem before, switching roms solved my problem.

I was on Bonsai 4.0.1 rom when my music started skipping and I flashed to CK Urban Regeneration Rom & the problems stopped.

I have used stock ROMs and along with Bluetooth flakiness this is my #1 issue with the phone. I have only found one odd thing that seems to help with it, although it's not a cure-all.
I stopped reordering the apps in the TouchWiz drawer. You see, when they repopulate after boot, they aren't in perfect alpha order. I was using TW to reorder them and when I stopped doing that (strange as it sounds) skipping almost went away completely.
Unfortunately it still comes back. BG processes, CPU or RAM, I have no idea what the cause is. But I can hope GB will fix it.

Weird. I'm not using TW though. It feels very much like a cpu priority thing though. Something grabs the cpu for a few MS 100%. I tried setting my min speed to 400mhz and Its changed. I won't say its better, but its changed.

Yeah I noticed this yestrday. I'm on eh06. I was tethering to my computer playing battlefield 2 and playing music from the epic at the same time and every few minutes it would choke.
Like you said, its no biggie but it does change the mood lol
It doesn't bother me though, because I'm pretty sureits just. Random spike in cpu usage. All cpus do that

I had similar issue before. I think it's due to some error collecting overtime. I had problems when I had srf for more than a month. After I odin the phone, skipping went away. Also try formatting the SD card. Mine had corruption that I didn't know about. So I did a backup for important stuff only. After odin and freshly formatted SD, skipping issue was gone. Also I recommend stay away from overclocking/undervolting. I believe some bug is causing error which it accumulates over time. I think I saw someone saying from another thread that undervolting too much causes error that you need to odin to clean up.

Has anyone found a good solution to this?? I had the stock Gingerbread for about a week and didn't notice any issues with the music. I switched to CleanGB rom and started getting the skipping when playing music. Different music players, setting CPU mins/maxs differently doesn't seem to make any difference. I know I can go back to stock, etc... but I really don't want to wipe my phone and start all over again if not needed. Everything else seems to work great except for maybe the Wifi not locking as well as it should.
Thanks, Stephen

I've noticed on EI22 that I would get a little skiping when i pull away from home/work, just as i get out of wifi range.....when it drops the wifi and searches for a new access point/connects to 3G is when i hear the skipping. I just kill my wifi and 4G when i hop in my truck so neither of them are hunting around as i'm drivin around jammin to obnoxiously loud music playing from my sd,slackr or audiogalaxy. works for me - Currently running ERA Legendary ei22 rom/ei22 modem with latest IAP Kernel @200min/1340max w/on-demand gov

You may want to try changing the bit rate of the music you are trying to play using a program on your computer. I could not post a link because I am a new user, however google is a fast and easy way to find one.

problemis when I listen to music im usually driving, and if im driving im usually using navigation/maps...
I had a suspicion it was related to data pulls, so Im glad to see some sort of confirmation.
I was also using poweramp which i ditched.

(Sorry for posting this in a new thread. I couldn't find another SGS2 CM7.1 thread that it seemed relevant to.)
So yesterday I installed cm_galaxys2_full-75 on my SGS2 and I have to say I'm completely blown away. Its not quite ready for my daily user, but it is very close and already a fantastic system.
Couple of possible bugs I noticed that stood out. Bluetooth works. I could pair with devices and send individual files (didn't try a batch of files) but when I paired with a Nokia A2DP headset, no audio went through. A little disappointing and not a deal breaker, but still something that was frustrating. Hunted out and plugged in the wired headset and got my musical fix that way. I didn't spend a lot of time trying to figure it out.
What ended up forcing me back to VillainROM was the wifi. It was flakey for some reason. Then, after about 3 hours, it wouldn't detect any access points at all, let alone connect to them. Just didn't show any in the list. Wifi is not the greatest in my area at the best of times. There are about 25 APs in about a 200 yard radius of my place fighting for channels and bandwidth, so sometimes you almost have to be sitting over the AP to maintain a connection for any length of time. But when the phone no longer saw *any* APs, things got a little frustrating.
I did have one little power related issue. I turn my phones off when charging while I sleep. However, yesterday I noticed that if you turn the phone off then plug in the charger, it will cause the phone to turn on and boot up. Not ideal. Not sure whether its a deliberate feature or something to report as a bug. I'm wondering if its because of the battery charge indicator that displays on the screen when the phone is off and charging. Again, not a deal breaker, but I like to look after my batteries.
I really like the direction of the system. It was extremely fast and smooth on the phone. Installed the GApps and started loading everything back from the market. Because of the wifi situation, this got tedious having to do it over 3G/HSPA+ so got the important stuff I needed to get through the day.
I love the customisability of CM7.1. The themes and profiles are something I miss from my old Nokia days and CM is the first time I've seen it really well implemented on Android. Every other platform I've tried has essentially needed to have themes flashed rather than installed. A minor thing I guess, but annoying none-the-less. What it did manage to do is have me reconsider ADWLauncher. I'm a LauncherPro Plus guy. Have always just liked the simplicity of it. But the way it is presented in CM7 has me thinking I might try ADW out a little more thoroughly.
Performance is outstanding. I didn't notice any jitters or slowdowns in the system the whole time I was using it. In fact, even when switching between themes several times, once the theme had loaded there didn't seem to be any hit in performance. ADW was fast and smooth. The system as a whole seemed better in performance than the original TouchWiz 4.0 does on the device.
A days worth of using it left me really impressed. To the devs and the team working on it, you're doing a great job. Thank you for the efforts.
I'm fighting the urge to make the switch to this distro full time. I'm tempted to grab build 77 and see if I can replicate the wifi bug. ;-) The wifi issue is the only thing keeping me on VillainROM for now though.

Given that is the Q&A thread, and this post wasn't asking for help, I'd rather not add more noise to that thread with an OT post.

To be honest, i didnt like it -.-

my only gripe is the music quality is poor compared to what I have at the moment on 2.3.5. DSP manager didnt help much tbh
