No, but they worked on the i9000.

So, it's not working on the Epic? thought Samsung was using the same system.

I'll remove them.

Thanks.

Hi Tokie,

Thanks for replying.

Do you mean the 6th step of the 2nd Hard-Reset method?

You're having the Epic, right?

Is there a way to zoom my camera? I haven't figured it out via settings or the book.

The volume button toggles the camera zoom. Happy

The chances of finding out what really is going on are so absurdly remote that the only thing to do is to say hang the sense of it and just keep yourself occupied. DA HHGG

20 ) How to improve GPS performance - Thanks to Bade, for finding this in xda-developers


* Step 2 -- Open the dialer (the phone button) and enter the following: *#*#1472365#*#* . Then press "send" to open the Vibrant's LbsTestMode menu.

---> It says the code you dialed is invalid.

It worked on mine when I'm on Eclair, but it doesn't work now since I've updated to Froyo.

Maybe it doesn't work on Epic.

I'll take that tip out.

The screen resolution/dimension of your Epic is 480 x 800 pixels, but if you're making the wallpapers for the default "sliding" background, you'll have to make them 960 x 800 pixels.

If you're trying to make a single, non-sliding wallpaper for all your screens, then please read This Topic.

You are running 2.2? or are you not using an Epic?

thanks for your help!
