I just got the 4g as an upgrade from my vibrant. Everyone knows the battery dies quick and 4g kills it.
Is there a 4g toggle for this phone yet? i know evo has one on the market but i cant find anything for the vibrant.
AND...
can someone give me a link to the vibrant android 2.1 keyboard .apk?
well... i know the 4G toggle on the Extended Controls app is a no-go. i tried it... unsuccessfully.

I just recently rooted my phone today and i havent put any mods on my phone yet. I have the EVO by the way, but now when i tried to install some apps to my phone its almost like the download never starts. Just see the wiggly lines can apps only be downloaded to an unrooted phone?
You can definitely download apps on a stock rooted phone, I did & I'm sure everyone else has too. Apparently there are issues with the market on the Evo sometimes not working after rooting, but I don't know why. I've seen multiple posts over in the Evo q&a forums. Go check them out or do a search, I'm sure this issue has been fixed here on XDA.
You could try flashing a custom Rom. After I first rooted my phone I was afraid to, but now I don't think I'll ever go back to stock. My phone runs so much better now.
If you have any questions or are wondering what to do now that you've rooted, feel free to send me a pm & I'll help you out

I had the same problem quite a while back and there is a work around. Move out.
Market Enabler
Market enabler here is the only way to go, have to have root though so with the Sensation I think your out of luck. (For now!) Question might be better in the Q&A section as per the stickie too.
Hello,
I have a small question that I don't have the answer for ...
How to turn off 3G on my GS2 I have tried alot but still couldn't get it fixed ?
Thanks
I don't think it's integrated anymore, but there's a way to turn off data altogether when you're not using. Bring down the notification bar and scroll to the right for the toggles.
Really, I can't belive that Samsung forgot about it !!!! in this case can you give me please a complete configuration to save the battery life as it's not convinient to me at all
Thanks for the quick reply

so i did the ota update to gingerbread and now my barnacle wifi tether doesnt work. when i try to run the app it shows an error saying the DCHP port is already in use and in the notification tray the little white tethering icon pops up. so it seems to me that the phone tries to launch the built-in tethering app that you have to pay verizon for. i tried using app quarantine but that doesnt even recognize the app/setting so idk how to turn it off.
if i switch to a custom rom would that eliminate that stock app and the issue?
So - you had Barnacle working on your D2G?? My computer would connect, but would not 'see' any internet connection. Also barnacle would not list any clients when my computer was connected. When I went to uninstall, I noticed that the app was for EVO... I never tried/knew the app existed before the OTA update to GB. I have also noticed that half the reviews say 'does not work on D2G' so I'm wondering what the difference is between this phone and every other Android phone on earth and if anyone is working on a fix??
yea i had used it for quite some time, with ipods and computers. it was a life saver on road trips. i dont remember when i downloaded it but i never noticed anyone saying it didnt work or that it was just for the evo. and i got mine straight from the market too.
but yea this ota update screwed it up with the built-in app/settings. i dont know any way to fix it so i posted this in hopes that someone can program a workaround or something. im also gonna check out other roms. the pros of gb outweigh this problem so i dont wanna switch back to froyo
ok so i tried the Venus rom and that didnt work either. it has the same stupid vzw tether app that gets in the way. to me it looks like any GB based rom is outta the question, unless they found a way to remove that app. im back on the stock froyo (had some stupid issues with SBF that wasted a lot of time) i guess ill live with bad battery life and wait to update to GB when this gets fixed
There is no “stupid Verizon app” anywhere. There's the baseband (radio firmware) which does that.
i just call it that cuz its frustrating. and are you saying there is no way to get rid of this or work around it??
There were threads on how to alter baseband settings to make tethering work; I can't really find one right now, but I'm sure I saw them either in this forum section, or in droidforums' D2G section.
So it's a radio firmware that tells the app to take control? hmm. I'll look around for something as well for the D2G. I'll post any results. But yes as for now i downgraded to 2.2 again. need my tethering. #against the system.
Look into Open Garden. It is another tethering app (free in market)

I really really wish the sidekick 4g had what the old sidekick had, which is a functioning sound manager that mutes and wakes up on a timer. I downloaded "Profile" half a year ago, and it worked for maybe two weeks, but I've not got it working again despite messing with it rather a lot and getting wishful with each update. But no joy.
Does anyone have a sound manager actually working on the sidekick 4g?
I rarely install s/w on this thing since life is truly too short, so I have no idea how to figure out if a specific android app has any chance of actually working on a particular piece of hardware. Why aren't the app ratings in the marketplace hardware specific, or am I missing something obvious here?
Thanks.
