I can second the comments re the camera, it isn't particularly good in the dark.

I didn't realise that Dell was selling the 16gb model - and its only £20 more than what I paid for the 8gb. That said, if the difference is hangs and crashes I'm not sure if its worth it. Ganondolf, could you give me an example of what apps (or large files) you were downloading - I'd like to test and see if I have the same crashing. If I don't then I'll probably stick with the 8gb.
[Venue Pro General] Ganondolf:
if happens alot when i download big apps live xbox live games 30 - 80mb in size. crashes/hangs abot 70% of the time. I have noticed if i leave it on the download status screen till it downloads and installs it crashes less.

small apps up to 10mb dont usually have a problem.

I also get it within the youtube apps as they have large files.

I am about 99% sure that it is the micro sd card as when download big files and i go to my apps list it sometimes does not show the app icon and only a dot like temp icon and sometimes apps wont load whilst downloading.

Also if download has a problem it buggers the wifi and needs to tuen the machine off and back on to fix. of note it does not need a battery pull to turn it off, holding down the power button for a long period (10 secs) turns it off.

I think it was a good thing you got the 8gb as i may need to swap the sd card meaning i will buy a 32gb card so it would not have been any different if i upgraded from a 8gb.

PS. I sent a msg to linoel at dell on twitter and he thinks i have the newest firmware and there will not be a new one released for the uk.

apart from that the dvp runs perfect so if a sd card swap will fix the problem i will do it in the near future.
[Venue Pro General] Peew971:
So the newest firmware still has a rubbish camera. It's sorted then, I'll keep my Omnia 7 for now and see what comes at the end of the year.
[Venue Pro General] sunnyprdn:
hi guys im new to the dvp forum.

i have a dell venue that i bought online from a guy in USA which is unlocked. when i got the phone i noticed that the black sticker wasnt there so im guessing the guy attempted to swap the sd card....the phone works fine tho.

the problem i have is that it wont restart!! when i go to about >> reset your phone.. nothing happens. is there anyway to fix this?? i hope someone can help as i cannon download any apps from the market place and assign my facebook =(

thanks
[Venue Pro General] chenliangchen:
There is no carrier to the UK DVP phone is it? That makes future update quicker. And I hope it has 512mb ram. Guess the US one did has 256mb ram, games crashes constantly on the US device, which seems not happen often on others.
[Venue Pro General] tai4de2:
The US one has 512MB RAM.
[Venue Pro General] chenliangchen:
I don't want to start the discussion again. I believe it has 512 but currently only 256 is recongnised by the system, when the software uses above 90m ram it will crash by itself, ie some games. This doesn't happen to the htc mozart but happens to DVP. If you believe now it has 512 and its fully used then believe it, since it doesn't affect your usage.
[Venue Pro General] pibrahim:
In response to the 256 v 512 discussion - I certainly saw all of that discussion with the US DVPs. My UK DVP shows 480mb free and so is presumably recognising all 512mb RAM. Somebody else mentioned that the UK DVPs already have the new upcoming firmware preloaded - so maybe that's addressed the problem.

My battery life has also improved greatly - not sure whether it's because of going through some powering cycles or because I disabled both checking for updates and giving feedback, but its lasting a lot longer than before now.
[Venue Pro General] Barny1:
I also have the 8g UK DVP model through expansys, mine also reads about 480m free so im assuming it has the 512ram. as well...

As for problems ive had none,

NO crashes,

No freezes and NO resets yet....

All in all im loving the DVP and the battery is good better than my HTC Desire that i have left behind without a second thought!!!!
[Venue Pro General] foresterLV:
I got my phone from Expansys and it is freezing constantly when using WiFi and downloading apps. Indeed 480 MB of RAM is reported.
[Venue Pro General] chenliangchen:
Did you change the SD or you use the one comes with? I'm thinking to call expansys for exchange...
[Venue Pro General] Ganondolf:
I have lots of freezes and hangs on my UK 16gb model (from dell.co.uk) when using wifi.

I changed the sd card to a sandisk 32gb class 4 (I here the class 2 version is best for dvp) and have not had a hang or freeze using wifi.

Works flawlessly know.
[Venue Pro General] alodar1:
Question on your WiFi hangs.....I've been looking at WiFi issue. During the course of a day I may pass through and use, many different WiFi AP's. At home I made a modification of my AP and now the reception on my Dell is far better.

I'm wondering if the hardware in hte Dell is simply inferior....in a way that it works best with specific settings....as opposed to alot of devices that work fairly well regardless of the AP settings.

I've noticed the closer I get to a pure N setting, the better my device runs. The amount and length of feezes and hangs decrease as I approach that complete N mode.

People who experience the hangs and freezes at home. What are your AP settings?
[Venue Pro General] efjay:
Dont think it has anything to do with AP settings, my phone will crash without connecting to any wifi signal, just with wifi enabled.
[Venue Pro General] Ganondolf:
Im using wifi g at home and work and it works with no problems. the only thing i would say the dvp wifi reciever does not go as far from the router before disconnecting than my brothers iphone 4 and my old xperia x1.

have not tried connecting it to wifi n but have not had any problems on wifi g.

What do you mean by "AP settings". are u talking about the phone or the router?
[Venue Pro General] chenliangchen:
I've ordered a 32gb class4 sansicc from amazon.co.uk but it seems to be a fake one... It freezes the device even more than the original SD card. 3 months ago I had one from the same seller and it was ok, now still in my US DVP and works perfect. The 2 sds do look different. BE CAREFUL when you buy the sd card. Just too many fakes...
[Venue Pro General] lenioia:
8gb from clove, 512mb ram. With wifi switched off it runs perfectly, not a single crash, even if I don't switch it off for days and use it heavily (need to finish those space tube levels). btw, great screen, very good hardware keyboard and the best design I've ever seen on a phone.

But with wifi on...with moderate usage, it may work. I once got it to stream some 15min of videos in a row. Further attempts to repeat this performance ended in reboots. Youtube app, streaming, large marketplace downloads seem to accelerate wifi crisis (at times few seconds are enough for a crash). Luckily I don't really need wifi often as my data contract has plenty of traffic included, so I'm just keeping it off most of the time, but I'd obviously prefer to have it working.
[Venue Pro General] Ganondolf:
i noticed that on amazon.co.uk someone has added pics on the 32gb sd card sellers page showing (from my point of view) that the cards sold were fake.

i decided not to take the risk and buy it from play.com (themselves not playtraders) instead.
[Venue Pro General] Ganondolf:
just an update for all since i changed the sd card i have had no hangs or freezes and i have wifi on most of the time and download a lot from marketplace.

my system info app tells me the phone has been on (since last power up) 7 days 14 hours and 6 minutes.

phones been working perfectly. very happy now :D
[Click Themes and Apps] dlazz:
Since we cant patch the market in GINGERBREAD i miss some apps. Anyone know where to download free apps, i.e. 2player, icq, amazon mp3 etc.

I mean to download directly, not over the market....

Androidzoom and appbrain launches the market, so ist can not download these apps...
[Click Themes and Apps] roughkoala:
applanet !

But some apps arent legal to Download, because they actually cost something, but u can download em for free. Like Installous on iPhone :D

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] farhanino:
Ok this is my story...

I have an x10 pro... have everything installed such as root and xrecovery that is needed to install custom mods.

My firmware is 2.1.1.A.0.16 With 2.1 update1

But here is the problem i am having....

When i try to install the v8 of CM(Cyanogen Mod) it installs everything without errors BUT, it does not go pass the SE Logo with the background and keeps restarting from that point onwards continuously.

Then i installed the hotfix, that helped a little as after i installed it , I got past the SE logo with the background black and it went as far as the custom boot start where it says 'DROOOID' and while that boot spins with its arrow for like 3 seconds, it then gets stuck there freezes and then restarts from that point onwards and does not get into the menu....

there's no harm in my phone as i made a backup wit xrecovery before i attempted anything which is so awesome lol...

But then i tried installing v5 of CM and it worked everything went into the menu and worked fine .... though my sd card was not being picked up....

I have ext2 only is it necessary to have a hotswap and more partitions to make the sd card work on CM ???

please anyone!!! help me with installing v8 Cm moD :(!!!!!!!!!!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] nujhum:
Did you wipe battery stats and factory wipe before you install v8?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] farhanino:
yes i did... everything i was asked to do... did every step in the forum of v8 cyanogen mod 7 .... still no result....
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] michelsampa:
the correct firmware is 2.1.1.A.0.6
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] nujhum:
Btw, what baseband and fw are you on?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] CM-PRo:
U dont need the ext2 partition. The ROM uses native apps2sd. Also, try installing the v7 first and flash v8 on it! Hope it helps.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] DanielFran:

Hello guys,

in the topics from the search my problem is not solved.I have buy a Wildfire with german Vodafone branding FroYo 2.2. Now i will flash the firmware using unrekoved3. But unrekoved doesn't flash my phone. It stopps by downloading the file and my mobile phone do not make any things. The driver package is installed and my phone is in the right modus to flash it. If i try to install a new Firmware with the RUU and the GoldCard method i become the error 140. I haven't any more Ideas what i can do. Can you help me? Here are many experts and i hope i get good help from you :D

Greetings

P.S.: Sorry for that bad english :cool:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] libetz:
You are probably having the same problem as my friend had.

Wildfire devices with a new Hboot can't be software hacked.. Yap.

But it's possible through some device that mobile shops should have.

Google your Hboot version and find out if rooting is possible for your device.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Adria1234:
Hello,

thanks for your answer. I have read that my HBOOT Version can be rooted and on another thread in the internet I've read that is not possible. :confused:

I have tryed to root my Handy with a noob guide from this forum here (:D) but on the task where i push the m0td (or another thing with that name ^^) to SD Card the cmd says, that my System is read-only:( . What can I do to ignore this error?

Greetings and thanks for help ^^
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] libetz:
I don't have too much experience with that but it probably has to do with mounting your SD.

Try to use these commands from adb before you push the file to SD (hit enter after each line):

adb shell

mount /sdcard

exit

if that won't work, google other solutions for mounting SD. Are you trying to do so in recovery mod? In that case you have "mount SD" option.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] libetz:
wait, you said System..

probably you need to use these commands from adb instead of the previous:

adb shell

su

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Adria1234:
Sorry, but that don't solve my problem :(

I think the codes do not make anything. Because i seee the step and no anything else :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] libetz:
OK..

You really should post your problem on Wildfire forum. Post your Hboot version as well.

There must be people there that will know the answer. Nobody else answers here, as you see.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Adria1234:
Yes i think so. but i dosn't have enough permissions to post in this forum. I must have 10 posts :rolleyes:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] libetz:
Yea, I know what you mean. I needed 10 posts for another forum.

Start posting "thanks" on random posts if you must heh.

[Android Apps and Games] leftAlone:
Is there an app that logs when other apps use gps? Or in the alternative, is there a way I can view which apps use the GPS permission?

Edit: I found "RL Permissions" and "A Smart Uninstaller". They do the alternative (sort by permissions).

But what I would really like is the first option. A log of the app that uses the GPS and at what time. At specific times (and sometimes even at random) the GPS indicator in the notification bar comes up even if I'm not doing anything that requires my location. I want to find out which app is trying to look for my location.

[Touch Cruise 2 General] Amathus:
Dear phone experts (as I am not one),

I have HTC Touch Cruise 09, running on WM 6.1, ROM 1.09.40104, I haven't messed arround with software it is still the factory preinstalled. I desperatelly need help unlocking the screen!

I had my screen locked and password protected, when my 1.5 year old son took it and obviously shut it down. When I rebooted it I could not type in the password, screen was locked. I have tried several times and then the new screen appeared requesting to enter 'a1b2c3', but the qwerty that appears on the screen is nonrespondive.

Is there a solution to my problem. If I flash the phone (how to do that?) will I lose my data?

Please, help anyone!!!
[Touch Cruise 2 General] Amathus:
Did the flash (volume down+enter+power) and restored factory system (backed up my data first), confirmed it with volume up, but now I am stuck on "align screen" page and my screen is not responding. What next???
[Galaxy S II General] tidyboyo:
Ordered from Expansys last night, 499 inc vat, plus 5% back from quidco. Was ready to order from Clove just before, but thought I'd check there. That saves 50-60 quid over what I was going to pay, so I'm even happier! Just need to wait until May now.......

Just a question what s that 5% off offer ?
[Galaxy S II General] tidyboyo:
Have a look at quidco.com it's a cashback site. Comes highly recommended, has saved me over 600 pounds over the last 3 years. They pay you the commission that would usually go elsewhere.

How much is that total amount in USD or INR :D

i guess everybody who preorders the sgs2 is obligated to open such a thread...

No, not really. I only did because it seemed to be a good price and I thought it good to let people know. No means, or need, to offend!

i havent offended anybody to my best of knowledge.

also, expansys is a well known store and its price has been discussed in the apposite threads along with play.com which also lists the phone for 499

Hmm looked up the specs on that one... if i can get this thing REALLY cheap, then that's fine... but i'd hope for a bit better than the low-res screen and 500 mhz CPU. But then again, I did say cheap... so if I can get this CHEAP, i'll pick it up!
