If you want the keyboard you can look under the development section in xda on how to push the gingerbread stock keyboard into your phone. Easy for anyone that can read instructions.

Vibrant 2.2 Volume issues

Before I got the 2.2 update when I changed my volume on the side all volume would change. Notications and ringer. But after the update it only controls the ring and nothing else. Am I missing something?

Traffic seems to be slow on this forum. But there are some really knowledgable people that frequent these forums.

anyone else having problems when sending picture messages?

Pretty sure you have to go into the settings and set the system volume down manually, most of the sounds were controlled with the rocker on the side but it sounds like you'll need to do it manually now.

Anyone else have issues with the ringer starting at a low volume and suddenly jumping up in volume when someone is calling? Had this issue with another Samsung handset I used to own.

My phone is slight different but closest to the Vibrant build in the USA. So here goes. this is my 2nd Galaxy S here. the first one did NOT take the 2.2 update properly. Many function either did not work or work properly. I was only after I got a replacement that I found out there was a way to reboot the phone and have it rebuild its (likely loosing all personal info/data) firmware load.

3 button boot. Power off the phone (have your info backed up etc). Push and hold the center of the volume bar (it enables two buttons beneath) and then press and hold the power button until the Samsung Logo appears. Then you can release and wait for it to do its thing.

Samsung support can go through this with you. Personally I can the OEM of these type of issues. Its not likely you'll get a solution on the form for an internal failure etc. But that should rebuilt the software installed completely.

If you still not in luck then download Kies (should already have it if you updated). There is and emergency firmware install added to the 2.0 version now to reflash the phone.

I hope this helps you. All else failing get on the line to Samsung support.

There's a fix for the Avatar issue on T-Mobile's Vibrant forums. I did it, it works. Can't remember it, but I had transferred Avatar to my 16gb SD card before the update and it works flawlessly now, having done the fix.

Menu key no longer MENU!

My left hard menu key now brings up google search, which I hate. Can I change this back to being the menu key it's supposed to be?:'(

It is still slow... here's to hoping Samsung will abandon RFS.

Hi there, does anybody here know how to update the Android 2.1 to a 2.2 because each time I press the Software Update button in Settings it says"NO FIRMWARE". How do I update it?

first, look at this:
Samsung Vibrant software upgrade to Android 2.2 (F... - T-Mobile Community

its not a OTA(over-the-air) update, so you have to manually update it from your computer. you cant upgrade it through our phone alone.

wifi problems after 2.2 update

Has anybody else been having wifi troubles after the 2.2 update? After the update, I rooted and applied the lagfix and generally all seems well. I have noticed, however, that when I try to enable wifi, sometimes it works just fine and sometimes it just sits there trying to turn it on (not connect to a network, just enable the wifi) and eventually just says "Error" on the wifi settings screen.

I'm partly wondering if the problem is the result of the upgrade to froyo or is a side-effect of the rooting/lagfix stuff.

Any thoughts?

I have had the same issue from day one since I updated to FroYo in December. I have a Bell Vibrant which was running the Bell JL2 version (different model than the T-Mobile version) and it did the same thing. It was totally stock and not rooted.I think it's a FroYo thing or possibly an issue with all Vibrant Models. I just upgraded to a custom rom and haven't noticed the issue yet, but I have only been running it for a few days.

My one disappointment post 2.2 upgrade is that my phone is still laggy as hell. This has made me decide to root the bastard and install a lag fix. I just don't know how yet.

I was hesitant to root my phone and install a lag fix and/or a custom rom, thinking it wouldn't make much of a difference.

I finally rooted it (it was painfully easy), flashed a custom rom and kernel, and enabled a lag fix that came with the kernel.

Totally different phone. All I can say is DO IT. The phone is so much faster now and everything runs butter smooth, with no lag or hesitation.

Now would be the perfect time to install lag fixes and custom ROMs, considering we may never ever see 2.3 thanks to the release of Samsung Galaxy S2.
