I feel this just has to be addressed. I know it has been addressed before, however I couldn't pinpoint the thread. Now let's get down to business!
If your phone was factory built with a Front Facing Camera, you are in the wrong section.
Flashing ROMs from this section will cause you problems. Likely big problems. You may get lucky and fix it. Then again, you may wind up with a fancy paperweight that is roughly the same size and shape of your cellular device.
Go to settings. Scroll all the way to the bottom, and click "About Phone". You will see some information about your phone. Look closely at the Model. If it says anything besides SGH-T959, then you have navigated to the wrong section of XDA.
Failure to strictly adhere to this warning can and will cause adverse side effects.
This includes, but may not be limited to the following: i9000, i9000m, T959v and Galaxy Blaze 4g. There are many phones that look like a Vibrant. There are some that are even marketed by carriers as a Vibrant.
In any case, the ONLY Vibrant that this section of XDA is referring to is the T959.
Thanks for reading.
Here's a link to the T959v Section.

Another way people can figure out what phone they have, is to check if your phone came with Avatar originally. Anything else, it's not this device.

I didn't want to pollute the issues thread (and I commend the ones that started it). I am just curious if we have any indication that Samsung and/or SamsungJohn hear us???
This forum could be a GREAT way to feedback directly to Samsung and give them input on their software (if they are indeed serious about fixing it). They could even use a portion of the XDA population (those that are capable) for beta testing and feedback since their beta testers seemed to miss quite a few big bugs, some that have been known to us for MONTHS.
Like I said, I commend the effort, just wondering if we KNOW (for a fact) that the right eyes see your work.

Not a bad idea, but I don't want to unnecessarily flood his PM box if someone here knows.
I wonder if he even checks it any more??? He hasn't posted in a little while.

It's not that we're celebrating or anything. It's just many of us saw this coming from Samsung. I promise I'm not rubbing it in.

Sorry for previous post (now it's edited). I turned off image loading so i didn't see the image. Now i understand the question and no i never saw a g3 like this. I'm not sure if this is a real picture... look at the buttons... they are quite "strange"

Its not a G3 for sure, look at the touchwiz and even the interface is not the same.

I agree on that but the outside is all the same.... :/
could it be some indian version of the i5801?
http://www.priceindianow.com/samsung-i5801-galaxy-apollo-india-price/
that is a pre production model, those pictures were probably taken when they were doing a preview of the phone, before it was released to market.
Looks absolutely different. I can see Spare Parts, Java Me, Coverter, Dev Tools apps. These were not there when i bought the phone. Looks like a hybrid phone

Nope.
I have the Indian version......
Interface is definetly different..status bar, "touchwiz"....
And two homebuttons...maybe the one what we use as a home button isnt home button.
I dont get it, why isnt there normal touchwiz, we are using
Maybe it's chinese copy?
Its a prototype of the galaxy3...samsung decided to shed some of those buttons to make it look better and cut costs
Hi
These phones look and pretty much have the same model number as the Galaxy note, would they run the Galaxy Roms ?

Whats the first thing you are going to do with your Galaxy S III? Me? Ill be staring at the Super Amoled HD goodness for a couple hours. Having come from a Super LCD in the HTC Sensation 4G, Im very excited to see the screen in person. Also, Ill be test driving S-Voice lol
Thinking about this thread
Find out root, If I do post it in the Dev section.
Find CWM, If I do post it in the Dev section.
Start up my [REF] tonight and get it stickied.
Post a system dump of /system and upload it via FTP and post it.
Drag all my files from my gs2 to my gs3 (Titainum backups etc) and then look for root, and then (if found) restore my backups lol, then actually use it lol
Charge it to 100 before turning it on : )

I have a Samsung S5 Clone. As such the parts inside it are not compatible with regular samsung components. Here is a picture of what the loudspeaker looks like.

I looked up the best I can and It looks similar to a Blackberry Z10/Q10 9790 but when I googled that part. It says its an earpiece speaker. Could it be the same part?
Don't mean to sound harsh, but this is the S5 forums, if your phone is a fake, it's not an S5, so I'm not sure what help you can get from the S5 forums
If I took a ford dressed as a Porsche, to a Porsche dealers to get fixed, they wouldn't be able to help either
Ask in the blackberry forums?
IT looks like a Samsung, the Body is a samsung. To the average consumer it is a S5. Only when you take out the guts do you know its a clone.
Correction, It is a Samsung. Its just a Samsung Clone.
Samsung didn't make it, therefore it is not an S5, and as you found out, the hardware is different
It is not a Samsung, nor an S5 just because it has been made to look like one
Can you flash a stock S5 ROM from sammobile. com to it via ODIN?
Return it and buy a real S5
I can't return the phone. I just need hel;p Identifying what kind of loudspeaker this is. If I am in the wrong forum what forum do I need to post this in?

Try just sticking it in the General forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general
Or if you suspect part of the hardware belongs to Blackberry, post an image in the blackberry forums and ask someone to ID it for you

I might post it in general, but I might have better success if I were to post it in the BB forum.
IS the blackberry Priv the only Blackberry Forum subsection on xda?
