the sound has always been there... it's the door for the USB port. Don't worry about it haha. I noticed it on the first day I got it, and then tried it out with the Bell Vibrants they had on display at Future Shop. I believe it's normal

lol damn. But even when i hold the usb door it still rattles. Oh well.

I guess we're talking different sounds then... Mine goes away if I hold the door

Anyone using Darky's ROM on Bell i9000M here?

Anyone have problem with random shut down with Captivate?

Wonder if I need a new battery or something for my Vibrant. Flashed couple different roms and tried juicedefender + setcpu but I can barely even last a day without recharging with minimal use.

i dont think so, my battery fucking sucks too.

im on nerov3 + juicedefender, if i dont use the phone it lasts close to 3 days on standby, but with moderate use it definately last me the working day. If my screen + 3g is on, the battery ticker drains like 1% every 5 mins haha. Gps/wifi/bt all off.

+1 its so crappy that i'm positive i will never buy another samsung phone because of it.

Just installed the latest Nero V5 with the new leaked KA5 modems. GPS is another step up in usability, fixes are super fast now (Consistently quick, been doing tests after clearing the cache, and still it's under 30 seconds).

man.. they are too fast that it sucks haha. I JUST flashed v4.1 2 days ago and spent an hour resyncing and linking all my contacts... now gotta reflash...

I upgrade every 2 or so versions... I was running Nero V3 up until tonight

i just upgraded v5 lastnight and pulled out gps today. WTF cold start lock within 5 seconds? I thought i was dreaming but wiped gps data and it happened everytime anywhere.... normally it takes 2-3 mins first lock for me. but what the heck did they do to this version? lol they put the gps on roids and it's finally 100% functional.

Yes I do now believe that since the gps is now fixed this is worthy of its place in the top smartphones on the market today

lol im usually the one trolling correcting people.

anyone occasionally get the "failed to send" msgs for texts? I get them from time to time and it's freakin annoying.

This morning for some reason was especially bad as probably every 3rd message I try to send fails. Then when I try again a few times and it works, the person gets multiples.

One of my friends whos also on Bell seems to be having the same problem this morning

^ i get that problem on my htc magic all the time on roger

i'm also getting a lot of fail to send msg. I'm with bell. Gosh is fucking annoying. Wonder if this is a bell issue.

can someone teach me how to upgrade the firmware? kthx

first you have to root it:

then copy a custom rom onto the root of your phone memory and run it in recovery.

read through the bible here:

it's all straight forward but there is chance that you can brick your phone... ie pull the battery halfway through an install. or install certain roms while voodoo is enabled.
