[VIBRANT FROYO] The official update thread

[Kyle Gibb]

Buddy of mine got it working, but he said it reset a number of his settings. Gosh, Samsung...

 

[orgwizard]

the unregistered does not only happen on rooted phones...none of mine are rooted.

 

[EmrysTal]

I got my phone upgraded in a half hour, but now Avatar doesn't work and the only keyboards available are Swype and Samsung keyboard.

 

[ju12zo]

Total install time including downloading kies = 10 minutes.

Relatively painless considering the wait (I've only had it since November)

 

[orgwizard]

go a few posts back...there's a reset I did that fixed that.
and yeah...what happend to the android keyboard...
though if I'm not wrong, the sammy keyboard looks a lot like the gingerbread one that was put out that I tried.

 

[ju12zo]

Eww, it gave me back the old market. But the first thing it did was download new Gmail Youtube and Flash automatically for me.

 

[Ruggles]

Easy install with Win 7 64-bit Pro. About 10 min.

EDIT: Avatar doesn't work anymore.

fixed- went to settings and did a clear data. Then relaunched.

 

[curley]

Installed on a friends phone. Was extremely easy.

 

[EmrysTal]

@ju12zo: It did the same with me, but wait a bit and it'll update back to the newest one.

@orgwizard: No way to do it without the reset? And if not, what info gets deleted when the reset happens?

EDIT: Also, it might be just me, but tactile feedback feels a bit weaker now.

more info

@orgwizard: No way to do it without the reset? And if not, what info gets deleted when the reset happens?

seems same as a factory reset...not sure if dialing that number is different then going under privacy and doing the factory reset there...but fixed my license issue...and it will wipe out the phone...but thought the 2.2 update did that anyway.
honestly not sure if is another way to do it...was the only fix I found off hand..and my phone was fresh anyway...
you can always try calling t-mo if you want a better option...

EDIT: Also, it might be just me, but tactile feedback feels a bit weaker now.[/QUOTE]

yeah...the keyboard does feel weaker, especially even switchign from the default swype..to the samsung one...but I think there has to be a setting for this...just haven't looked...

 

[Paul627g]

Well so far it sounds like the complaints are minimal. Just think, how long is the wait going to be for the first bug fix update?

 

[anon62607]

Upgrade went smoothly for me on windows 7 64bit.

 

[Paul627g]

This was an Easy Update

A few notes

1. KIES MINI WORKS FINE ON 64 BIT (www.tinyurl.com/kiesmini)
2. You HAVE to be on TwLauncher (Touchwiz UI)
3. You have to have USB connection mode set to Kies

About the Update:

my phone feels so much more powerful now...the speed is about the same but im running a bunch of widgets with adw launcher ex...quadrant is around 950...im sure its still the file system keeping that number down

im loving mobile AP and tethering....i havent played around much with USB tethering, but mobile access point works wonders...and with adw launcher i can make a shortcut on my homescreen to activate this on the fly

all the icons are now colorful in the settings, and the dialogue windows are a darker blue, there is a sensor rotation shortcut in the notification pulldown, in the power menu, there is a new option to turn off data networks (separate from airplane mode, probably AWESOME for battery)

there is a new app called T-Mobile TV, and its live TV for certain channels...you get one month free...there is another new app called wifi calling which still uses minutes, but im assuming itll have much better call quality (this is funny since they charge you for minutes while you are using your broadband provider's internet)

Skype and other 2.2 apps work fine (kongregate, ti-83, etc)

Chances are is that GPS issues are hardware...if you have a valid warranty use it....i did and i went from finding 1 satellite but not using it for a fix, to finding 10 and using 9 of them for a fix

That sounds like a good neighborhood when compaired to people that have ran Quadrant on Epic 4g's running Froyo RFS Filesystem.

 

[bobaka]

all that wait and you're getting only ~900 on quadrant?
with Cognition ROM on Captivate quadrant gives over 1500
gee thanks samsung

The Kies Mini application keeps force closing on my pc. It detects my girlfriend's Vibrant but then stops working and I'm being forced to close it.

 

[EmrysTal]

Another thing I just found: When I turned on my phone, the T-mobile jingle is ringing (extremely loudly) even though I have the system volume turned all the way down (the sign off jingle is off though). Anyone else having this issue?

 

[updtime]

I chose the ask option and I rebooted and it finally gave me the upgrade option. Unfortunately, it said my battery was too low to upgrade! I recommend rebooting though.

This just happened to me also. smh

 

[beandon]

People keep talking about all these GPS problems, i've used mine for a while now and yet to have any problems with it.
