[Q] Samsung Vibrant T-mobile - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

So I bought a samsung vibrant and am trying to do the one click lag fix thing to speed it up. I am following the instructions at this website.
(it wouldn't let me post the link) i will post it after 8 posts. Thanks.)
I got all the way down to step 15: select “OneClickLagFix V1+” in the one click lag fix app and that option is disabled. The phone displays a message in a blue box that says 'You already appear to have another lag fix installed! (/system/bin/playlogos1 less than 5KB)
I have tried benchmarking my phone with the Quadrant app and it is no faster that before, a score of around 850. Is there a way of getting rid of this previous lag fix so I can run the one from the menu in the one click lag fix app? would a factory reset accomplish this? I am really tired of my vibrant being laggy and slow. Hope you can help thanks.

Are you rooted? Scroll down if you haven't already, to the vibrant forums. I recently moved to sprint from tmobile and had a vibrant. Tons of good help there.
I would suggest root and the bionix touch wiz rom. Comes with voodoo, pretty close to the stock feel and you don't have to worry about that 10000 step lag fix process.

I am rooted but when i tried to perform the lag fix it gave that error message. I think I did something wrong and now I need to start over fresh.
I am not super savvy when it comes to this type of thing. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

market place app not working

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

You may need to try BROWSING the sections, too. It's been asked a million times.
Non-rom specific touchscreen driver issue it is suspected.
Some people experience it, some don't.
I, for one, haven't, but many people have.
well when you put the topic of the thread it gives you some similar options to your problem and no one of the options was even close to my request so thats why i did it.. can you give the link where was asked the same question as me please?
thank you
Bumb...........!!
Will the touchscreen driver also make parts of the screen non responsive randomly? I am having that happen to me and wondering if I should try and exchange it.
Running Cm7 nightly in case thatd help
I've had this problem on multiple roms.
I've had this issue on multiple roms as well it's not horrible at all though just have to touch it a second time. the weird thing is I can pretty much predict it for example when scrolling through my apps in tibu it gets stuck at the same spot every time. and also the xda app on the first scroll. it's been discussed many times but I'll throw it out there again. NOT A ROM ISSUE, HTC ISSUE. MANY PHONES ARE AFFECTED. don't stress over it

(Q) Possible over heating issue...not sure

I really dont play games on my phone. Though recently i wanted to try a few games. I notice after playing the more graphically intense games for awhile my phone will get really hot. after about 30 mins or so the phone gets hot. games play real laggy adn eventual will lock up. close and often ill notice that my sd card will remount. I dont get any errors of force close messages. Anybody else notice this or have this issue? I dont really know if its the just the phone or some unknown issue so i figured i would ask.
Just a side not too. i notice i lose 4g once in a great while. i just switch from airplane mode and back and 4g comes right back. I live in the middle of a 4g area. This is also my 5th clnr and non of the others ever did this. Also my wife's charge dont do this at all. the other 4 phones had other issues like blown speaker, lock up issues etc but never this. Did i get set another bad phone or would getting a new sm card or factory reset fix this issue?
I should also note. Phone is rooted running stock rom but has imnuts pbj time voodoo kernel
If it makes you feel better, mine drops data at least 3 times a day.

Are you overclocking? If you are you might want to bring it down some. For the connection problem search around the charge forums, there are some instructions on how to replace the stock modem with the new leak epw1. Also my best recommendation is to flash one of the roms in xda specially humble. They're very stable.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda premium
Here is the link where you can get the new modem and flash it with Odin3 1.82, and if you are adventurous try to flash the new gingerbread rom as well. Look around xda for tutorials on how to use Odin.

No im not overclocked. i dont drop 4g reg. i stay a constant at 4bar on 4g. its like ever few days i lose 4g and have to reset or go in and out of airplane mode to rest. So its not a huge issue but non of the other phones nor my wife's phone ever lost 4g.
Ill try the modem though. thanks for the link.

[Q] Problem with Samsung phone performance

Been contemplating for a while whether to post this as it will come off as rather trollish. Had my Infuse for over a year now. When I first got it I noticed there were some "issues". I remained patient hoping or thinking maybe when GB was released it would improve. It did not. Later I needed to root this phone and came here, found a ROM that had all the AT&T junk stripped out. Phone worked better, but still had these issues.
I got to the point that I knew I would never again purchase either a Samsung phone or Android. Did not know what the culprit was. Just recently I had the chance to really take a look at an HTC EVO, and I realized that Samsung is the problem, not Android.
Number one issue is that this phone is sluggish, and sometimes unresponsive. I will touch whatever button and get that vibrating acknowledgement, but nothing happens. I will be in the app menu and wish to exist and the home button just does not respond.
Yesterday I missed a call because the bloody phone just did not respond, even though I touched the answer button. Other times I just can not make a call. I dial number, and the phone just sits there doing nothing. Eventually I just pull out the battery and restart the phone to make a simple bloody call. I had a HTC WinMo phone for years and never once experienced this. No matter how farked the OS could get with some app or whatever, the phone function always worked.
I do not run a lot of apps, and recently have experienced these issues with almost literally no apps installed. I will then add something like GO taskmanger just to confirm that the unresponsive behavior is not due to some app taking up memory/CPU etc..
Sorry for the long post, but I am at my wits end with this bloody phone. The fact that I miss calls when the **** phone is right in my hand is unacceptable. So before placing this phone in a box filled with C4 and shooting this to the moon, hoping that maybe a solution is out there.
p.s. I have 2 Infuse in use, both have the same issue.
What firmware are you running?
Is it the same firmware on both phones?
What is the launcher?
Have you tried a different modem?
Are you using a battery saver like juice defender?
Are you using an ad blocker?
Are you using a specific kernel? Oc? Uv?
Need for specific info

You know, for the rather lengthy post, you really have not explained any detail about your issue.. You have a generic 'I have an issue, the Infuse sucks' post and its not going to help anyone resolve your issue. I find it EXTREMELY hard to believe that you have 2 infuses having the SAME EXACT ISSUE. Yes, there will be times when you get a defective phone or it isnt working up to your standards, but to have 2 defective phones with the same defect? You need to play the lottery. Also, i suggest you send the phones back. It sounds like youve already made your mind up and have pretty much bashed the samsung infuse in that entire post. The same samsung infuse that myself, and plenty of other people live with day to day and have absolutely 0 complaints.
I will give you $20.00 a piece for them!!!!

Simple . Hack it and put cm7 on it if you really need speed. Maybe its your screen protecter. Wipe the screen off. Cm9 can be sluggish, for speed go to miui on gingerbread or cm7
Id be willing to buy one of the infuses
Trust me...sounds like you got two defective units...which like Scott, I find hard to believe...but hey its possible-idk when you got hem.but if it hasn't been a year then put them back to stock with gtgs unbrick and file a warranty claim with Samsung...the infuse is a great phone and I never had the problem you described...I do have a question though...did you get them both at the same time? Cause I don't see why you would get a second if your first was having problems
Anyways...if you wanna sell one hmu...I may buy one depending on the price and if I can get the money (I think I already may have one lined up for $170 just need to get the money)

Again this has been a recurring problem since purchase, and during this time I have had stock Froyo, rooted Froyo ROM, GB update, and for one now a the GB rooted ROM.
When the slow to unresponsiveness occurs there does not appear to be any specific cause. Prior to updating to the rooted GB I had used GO Taskmanager, and long before that some other app I long since forgot the name of. Point was that they had shown that neither CPU was excessive, or memory was used up. Both phones have data services disabled and are strictly Wifi only. There are no tasks or extra programs run in the background (though did install Connectbot today). I no longer use any Live wallpaper. After updating to the rooted GB I left the phone in that state (no software installed) for a week or so, and the problem still occured.
This occurs when calling or answering calls, but as previously posted occurs sometimes just opening the Applications menu as an example. So it is not a specific task or program that is slow or unresponsive. Earlier this evening I got a call, slide the bar across to answer and the screen just hung there for a few moments. This time it was at least not long enough that I missed the call. When the call was done I looked and there simply was nothing running on the phone. No apps, no web browser or mail, in fact I was not even connected to the wifi (I have data 3G/4G service disabled on the phone).
are you completely wiping before every flash youve done? have you tried a complete wipe and start from fresh?

Task manager is NOT the best app to tell you what is running in the background.
Maps and other location apps may not be listed but will consume resourse that can be the cause of your lag.
The fact that stopping wallpaper or live wall paper off alleviate the condition may suggest that the phone is running at max capacity. Steps to reduce the load improves it. Live wp, facebook, maps, stock email and other device manager from stock att was one of the first @#$% I took out on any rom I run.
Having a large amount of apps installed can also cause this lag. The OS may only be able to handle so many.
Have a poor signal at the time of the call may also be an issue, especially if both of your phones have this issue occasionally but not consistently.
Lock screen can also be a factor. Some sleep setting may also cause the phone to wake up poorly. I get around this by turning off my lock screen. On the call settings, you can also change the answering options so that it will override others and make it easy to answer.
On any firmware - stock or modded, after you have the phone running for an extended period of time without a reboot, you may start to see some lags. This may be across all devices. You may need to reboot it occasionally or boot into recovery and wipe the cache.
These issues may or not go away once you have a device with more power or resources..ex: dual or quad core, 1gb or 2gb ram etc..my guess is when a device has more power, programmers will come up with more resourse intensive apps that may hinder the phone as well.
Lastly, pay attention to your battery meter. As the power dips below 30%, there are steps taken by the OS to conserve the battery. This may give you lags as well..possibly one of the reason why it seems random also.
If you wanted to test out the lag issue due to background apps, go to settings/account and sync. turn off background data. You will retain the (radio) phone and text but there will be no email/facebook, weather, widgets/market/amazon etc updates unless you manually update them. If this runs smoothly but lags when you turn it back on, you can start the process of narrowing down your culprit.

I tried....I really did!

I hate posting threads with questions cause I hate feeling like a noob who doesn't read but in this instance I really tried to fix the problem myself and just can't.
My wife's infuse keeps rebooting. It did it when on stock and I thought I could solve it by rooting and loading a custom ROM. In my experience loading custom ROMs almost always makes things better.
So far I've tried yumaporn ICS and Scott's broccoli ICS. I've tried the v6 supercharger. I've made her get rid of all her apps and even change off of go launcher. Which I had used on my infuse without problems.
I'm thinking of bringing her back to gingerbread but I am not sure its software related.
I've checked the battery connections and they look just like mine. I don't see anything broken. The battery is a little loose but I put a piece of paper around it and it doesn't move at all anymore.
I don't think its the power button because it doesn't loop.
I don't know how to get a kmsg or ksmg? Log cats I don't think will help because it isn't any 1 thing that causes it.
I tried the supercharger thinking it was a memory thing. Tried setting background processes to 2.
Got rid of all task managers, tried wiping caches.
I just don't have the knowledge to do anything more than I have done. I really think its a hardware problem and am hoping someone can prove me wrong.
10 post thanks and a +1 to whoever can fix this. If it can be fixed!

try taking out the microSD if there is one.
take off all important stuff in the internal sdcard
factory reset from in the phone under /privacy
heimdall or odin back to gb stock..i like the heimdall x2 with boot loaders for complete repartition.
if you are still rebooting or looping in complete gb stock, it's prolly hardware related
I should have known the avatar would have some idea. Will try that now. Thanks!

Well. I tried to heimdall the thing and my computer about blew up. Hoping I can at least boot it to safe mode and somehow get all the pictures off before it finally explodes. So. I couldn't heimdall so I put a stock uclb 3 ROM on it. Its running now and I hate it. Thankfully its not mine. I can't stand stock. What's worse is we went to a store today and they had an s3 on display. Shouldn't have even touched it. Even being the display phone the damn thing was zippy. No upgrade for another few months. Hoping the note 2 is that fast
