Well everyone,
I regret to inform you all that my time with my beloved Vibrant has come to an abrupt end.
Due to finally being hit by the EU bug, and with my vibrant's port being broken and being unable to mount to my pc....
I'm afraid that my time is over. Although I will continue working on fixing my phone in the coming weeks, maybe fate is
just telling me that it's time to move on Sigh.
It's been a pleasure guys, I'll miss my vib, and the wonderful community. Not sure what my next device will be...my upgrade is coming up, so I guess it's time to start shopping :/
What did it to you Xeno?

I missed ICzen ^^;;
Flashed it like I've done a thousand times before, and BAM
hit me with the bug. Followed Wood's thread, only to realize that after repartitioning my SD I needed to
be able to connect to my pc and put an ICS zip on my SD.....xD (I know, I know....shoulda read ahead)
Thats awful. Maybe you will find a phone for parts or something.

Put your MicroSD Card in a camera? Or put it in an adapter of some sort and connect it? Drag the file that way? :|
Not so fast Xeno. PM incoming.

Huzzah! Theexel, your idea worked man !!!!!
My vibrant LIVES!

I cannot thank you enough!
Looks like I can postpone my goodbyes x]

I've been noticing a lot of the apps on the market stating that we all have press release versions of Froyo. Is this true?
Can you give some examples?
Haven't seen this.

We've done some additional investigation, and as far as we can tell, Google is only updating review Nexus Ones that had been provided to the press -- not off-the-shelf phones. We'll stay on this and let you know more as soon as we do.

If that turns out to be the case, we will get the new file so we can flash it; if not we can alway download the old 2.1 update file, flash and then let the OTA hit the phone.

Really? I thought everyone interested enough in tinkering with gadgets (aka nerds, JK ) knew Freeman, the famous silent protagonist armed with the mighty crowbar. Or maybe I'm just getting old and ppl don't play PC games anymore.
Anyway, hopefully a new rom will come. I still have problems mounting the SD card which sometimes causes crashes. And also missing market links.

Guys, let's continue the discussion in the older thread, too many duplicate threads being created... lets keep all in one place. Thanks though.
If you have a Captivate, follow these simple steps:
Do not download it
Do not flash it
If you fail to follow either of the aforementioned steps follow this one
Do not whine that it doesn't work
The device is yours, if you want to take a gamble on it then by all means go for it but you are responsible for the damage done.
We don't want to hear about it, we don't care. You were warned and did it to yourself.
Lol don't be an ass.

That would indicate that they read the post in the first place...
i agree i should not flash froyo, but i want it so bad, i'm having a guy from work come over later (he's the computer specialist). he said he's flashed hundreds of phones at work, and it shouldn't be a problem.
thanks for the heads up tho, if he messes up i can blame him!
I concur. Why froyo I ask.LOL. It's still crippled. Eclair still better performing os. And it will fugg your galaxy. In fact friend bricked his vibrant. Laughed at his azz during dinner. I wait. CM6 is on the way. I will take a better performing captivate any day over a brick and another trip to the store.

He reads and still persists....
I have flashed hundreds of phones as well and let me make this explicitly clear to you....IT DOES NOT WORK ON THE CAPTIVATE!
We have no working 2.2 kernel for the Captivate and the International Galaxy S kernel DOES NOT WORK on our devices.
Incase you didn't get the hint....IT DOES NOT WORK.
Good luck

Doesnt the intl galaxy kernel work, just that the screen is 90degrees off and some of the hardware buttons are reversed?
I'm not going to even begin to mess with that froyo.
@ OP
What do you mean "It does not work on the Captivate"? Sure it has some bugs like swapped buttons and if you enable screen rotation it will rotate 90° and there isn't a big advantage over the stock I9000 ROM but it DOES work.

In the context of working without issues. Not for nothing but I don't want to see all the newbs that read a post saying it *works* flash the rom and then come in here in a panic wanting us to tell them how to fix it.
So by saying it doesn't work, it doesn't work.

I actually picked up on that, I was using that as an example of how people read yet still comprehend what they wanted to get from the information in the first place lol
The only reason any if us are here and commenting is because it grabbed our attention. I won't lie.

Instead of saying it doesn't work, try saying it doesn't work completely.
You saying it doesn't work is just as bad as anyone saying it does work.

It's like when I told my daughter one winter the heater was hot. She said it was hot and she wouldn't touch it but damnit she touched it anyway. When she whined that it burned her she got no sympathy from me either.
(it was no major burn, just a rush of heat into her hand, I am not that bad of a parent lol)
Just saying hello I just got this phone, I came from the tmobile gs2. the tmobile gs2 was nice but this phone is sooo much better, cause of the exynos and much more development!!! glad to join the team!!
In that case, I'd like to warmly say ...
I hope this thread isn't a sign of things to come from your time here.

Well, I would like to say welcome, and glad you are happy with your new toy.

Congratulations on moving to the real sgs2 yo
Just be careful and don't damage it lol
This is a pointless thread that I would make as soon as I got a toy like this! Love my phone still and its been over 9 months. Phones never last me longer than 6 months. Congrats on the new phone
Welcome aboard fella. Enjoy your stay..Here you can get women, smoke cubans and above all have a sexy gorgeous phone named the Galaxy S2....Welcome to paradise

oh dont worry first thing I did when I got home was root it and try out codeworkx's cm9. Besides the little bugs I love it, cant wait till the official release!!! That was a big part of me getting the phone, it'll have ICS on it way before the tmobile gs2!!
Btw if you want to root.... its so easy on this phone
Enjoy
I have had this for 2 month on t-mobile and am very happy.
Well, the rest 100.000 of us here on the forums also got this phone. Now imagine if we would all create a new thread to express our joy. Wouldn't that be a cesspool? Just saying...
Yeah, good job, it's a nice phone. Take care of it.

Congratulations
First of all, congratulations on getting your new phone. I can only say that this phone is still one of the best out there, especially for the developments made for this phone (credits to the developers). For me, it was my 1st android phone. So, I had a pretty long time searching for what I can do to this phone to bring out it's inner capabilites. One of them, is to root your phone and install ROMs inside. Since I love to customize my phone, I feel that rooting is essential for me and went ahead to root my phone. If you are considering about rooting your phone, do take note that the warranty will most probably be void

Would anything change?
Instead of creating threads that we bought this device we just spam the CyanogenMod 9 thread and annoy the developers.
It wouldn't cause more useless posts, just different ones.

I received the i9100 as a gift and I use it on T-Mobile, and it sucks to be stuck in 2G. I love this phone to bits, but I'm looking forward to an upgrade so that I can hand this down to my girlfriend since she's on AT&T.

This A500 was great when I first bought it. Now it's a piece of work. If I'm on it for 10 minutes it starts acting up. Takes long to focus in, everything is blurry for a second or two. It gets aggravating having to deal with this. I am very disappointed Acer.
This isn't an Acer forum so they will never see your post
I'm very happy
After some time reading the posts on xda A500 (which turned me into a flashaholic. Thanks) I'm very happy with my machine, it runs faster and smoother than most modern machines. All my friends are always asking "how does it do that"
So I shout "Thanks acer and xda" I shout cause acer will never read this.
My phone and my tablet have never worked better, all I need to do now is find a rom for my girlfriend and flash her.

My A500 is not running well at all, it takes a long time to open pages and flashes some sort of what looks like interference across the screen sometimes. It's gotten slower. I was wondering if you could give me an idea what you've done to yours that makes it faster and smoother. I would love mine to run better. I've had it for quite a while and love to use it, but not so much anymore.
