please remove missed the other announcement somehow
[General Topics] Product F(RED):
I know there are multiple threads that mentioned Sprint + Google Voice integration, but this thread is for people who are actually testing it. I got an email today from Google telling me I'm now able to use it. Feel free to discuss what you like or what you don't like about it, or any issues you're having. Here are some screenies from activation:

You can always undo it all disconnect your voice number and your Sprint number, and you can re-do it as well. I've done this myself.

------------------------------------------------------

So far the issues I've found are these:

- If you install the GV app, you get notified of texts through both your native Messaging app (or whatever you use, if you enable it) AND GV. If I only want to use GV for Voicemail, I can't do that.

- There is no option to choose what to be notified for; I can choose to get Voicemail notifications by text, but then I lose Visual Voicemail, so what's the point?

- MMS works, but is delayed and the person I sent it to got it 5 times.

i have a sprint evo. my phone only recieves text to my google voice app. the text dont come to my native app anymore. i just activated it, so i should wait a little longer and see how things turn out. i dont really have a problem with replacing handcent with my GV app. i just wish the GV app was more customizable, like chat bubbles etc. im gonna miss my handcent features. :-(
[General Topics] Crossfire9:
That doesn't seem right. Let me know if that changes, I was thinking about pulling the trigger today but also don't want to lose native messaging ability.

[Edit: I've seen elsewhere people have said similar things...]

Second edit: I went for it and set it up as it looks like you can always back out within 90 days to keep your existing GV number. I do not have Google Voice app installed on my Evo, therefore all my messages come thru completely as normal. I can also text from the GV website which is awesome, but note whatever I send from that site does not sync to my phone. Of course all replies and messages to me hit both GV site and my phone.

If anyone has any questions about it's implementation, let me know. When I researched this I found a LOT of confusing and misleading information.
[General Topics] Product F(RED):
I'm not sure if this setting is the same on your phone, but this is what I did:

Go to http://voice.google.com

Click Edit for your cell phone

Check "Receive Text Messages On This Phone".

The only problem now is that you'll get them both through the Voice app and through your Messaging app =/ I sent them a few comments using that form they linked to asking to be able to choose what to be notified for.
[General Topics] jngai:
I read on the SprintUsers forum that MMS doesn't work. That would be really bad, but I can't confirm since I don't have this yet. But the fact that you have the same area code as mine gives me hope that I will get to upgrade my GV account soon.
[General Topics] Product F(RED):
MMS worked for me. Apparently MMS still goes through Sprint instead of Google. The only issue was the MMS went through like 45 minutes late and the person I sent it to got it 5 times.
[General Topics] Crossfire9:
My solution was just to not have the Google Voice app installed. I really don't need it anymore anyway :)
[General Topics] Product F(RED):
There's also that. That would solve the double-notifications issue, and you can still be notified of Voicemail either by text or email, but then I lose Visual Voicemail on my phone. Not a big deal, as I almost always have a computer near me(college student).

EDIT: Just realized there's also the mobile Google Voice site you can go to through your phone and download your Voicemail if you really need to skim through it.
[General Topics] aph:
Looks like you elected to use your Sprint number as your GV number.

Any idea what would happen if I set up a SkypeIn number say (917-310-1010) and made GV ring it when my Sprint number was called?

In other words do you see the option to disable incoming calls from ringing your Sprint phone directly (e.g. 347 xxx xxxx)?

If not, I guess I'd have to keep both my existing GV and Sprint numbers to be able to forward calls to my GV number to the SkypeIn number.
[General Topics] lgreenberg:
For me it seems to be ok as long as I'm not logged in to the Google Voice app on the phone. You can keep in installed, just don't log in and you'll still get texts delivered to the SMS app not the Google Voice App.

This way you can log in to get voicemails in the Google Voice App when needed and then just log back out when done.
[General Topics] Kurupt1:
Anybody that uses an Airave testing this? I have been testing for a while now and the only issue I have is that I cannot receive calls through my Airave at home.
[General Topics] Product F(RED):
I've heard that a lot and it seems to be a common issue. I think it's because calls are supposed to be routed through Google, but with the Airave, you're still connecting to Sprint servers. What you can do is go into your Sprint account and find the "Manage My Airave" link. Then specify all the phones that are allowed to connect to your Airave (by number) and leave yours out, so your phone won't connect and will get calls through Google.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckevinwelch:
You really need to start reading. There is plenty of information here in the forums, but if you try to get it spoon-fed, you'll end up frustrated because you don't really understand what you did.

Start here, go slowly, and follow directions. If you have specific questions, post them here (in Q&A).

I find it helpful to read ALL of the posts in a particular ROMs thread because even if I don't have a particular issue now, I might in the future. (Plus, if you come in asking questions that were just answered two pages ago - and every two pages before that - it just frustrates the people you are looking for help from.)

sorry i posted the way i did. I was very frustrated, i rooted my phone at a friends house and had no problems, when i got home and tried to get a rom it just doesnt seem to work on my computer. Sorry for posting the way i did. Thanks
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckevinwelch:
No worries ... but really it is best if you dig in. As long as you follow directions carefully, things should go smoothly, and the more you do it, the more it makes sense. Perhaps you could post some details about what you've tried and where it has failed.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deedomond:
can anybody make a video with all the steps to install a rom on the dell streak with the fastboot and everything some of us just dont get it
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MadCobbler:
If I can follow the very clear instructions on this forum on how to install a custom rom and not have a problem with it... it can't be that hard.

So if you find that you're still unsure on how to do it and need a video, maybe its something you shouldn't be attempting in the first place....
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deedomond:
Theres a video for every other phone why cant there be one for the streak
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deedomond:
Can you post the link so I kno where to go to do it
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MadCobbler:
Firstly you need to root your streak (i used superoneclick), then you will need to put your streak into fastboot mode to install clockworkmod recovery or streakmod

Once thats done you will need to check what baseband you're on and what version of android you're on (i was on bb 319 and stock Dell 2.2) which means that i could flash DJ Steve's 1.8.1 custom rom straight over mine and it worked straight away. Now i have read that certain basebands have caused problems.

The you need to go here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1003525 and then follow instructions there and that should be about it.

There are plenty of threads on here explaining in fine detail every step that you need to do, some people have gone to a lot of trouble writing tutorials ... all you need to do is have a quick search.

All the info is there you just need to look for it.....

Trust me it isn't that hard cos if I can do it without any trouble, I'm sure most people can.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kasperke:
i can asure you that when english is not your native language, it's not that easy.

i did it whit my old htc artemis, but i'm still holding it off with my streak. It's working great now with 2.2 and i'm afraid to brick it. The only thing i've done is rooting it for the blinking leds for sms/mms notification. It was a must for me.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MadCobbler:
I not doubting that it can be very difficult when english isn't your native language, but judging by the grammar and spelling I'm guessing that English is their native language or they are very competent, in which case it shouldn't be that hard.

But the point I'm trying to make is that it seems to be that the poster seems too lazy to search and find the answers on how to do what they want, I mean most people on here will spend the time and read through countless threads to find out exactly what they need to know. I know that the people who write the tutorials put a lot of time and effort into making them easy to follow ... hey if I can do it.... :D

So if I go back to my earlier comment if you can't follow the comprehensive tutorials on here, maybe its something you shouldn't be attempting anyway... just my opinion...
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htcjikelly:
Actually, it can be a real pain in the rump. When I did the recovery install of 322 I spent three nights trying to get it to work. I had issues with rooting, had to use the 1.5.5 version of superoneclick and run it while my phone was restarting to get it to work.

Then when trying to restore from the recovery files I got stuck at the MD5 checksum thing. That was a real pain. It turned out that the tool you use to overwrite/rewrite the checksum was missing from my streak.

I installed a new version of the tool (who's name I'm forgetting now) to make it work.

So yes it can be very difficult. I have programing knowledge but the commands are Linux based and may actually be Japanese.

It'd be awesome if there were a single guide/how to video to follow.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vanemburghj:
Search before you submit

:mad:You ask for a single guide and or video, than use the following link to find it: www.google.com, there are multiple very good single guides how to go through the steps to install a custom ROM. In fact there is a certain web page by DJ_Steve that actually has a link in it that guides through installing his custom ROM, there is also a video, but hey if you want to have your cake and eat too, I guess asking for it to be re-created just for you isn’t that selfish.......

Am almost sure that if you search within XDA for DJ_Steve and click on the link in his signature block might even take you to his web page, but asking for someone to create a video for you isn't that selfish.....:mad:
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htcjikelly:
Lol, and I used google extensively in my search for instructions to do a recovery install on my streak. I pulled some parts from DJ Steve's many postings and website, others from android forums in their Dell Streak sections, and still others from just android and linux forums.

It took all of that and raw determination for me to get my streak to 2.2.2.

Don't take offense to someone asking a question.

If you know there is a link for it share it with the person. Maybe that would take you 2 minutes but without the person knowing the correct keywords they may spend hours searching.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deedomond:
I just feel like a video could avoid alot of bricked phones iphone people always making videos whether its easy r hard. All im saying is a video would help alot of us if I knew how to do it I would have been made a video
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deedomond:
How do install clockworkmod
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MadCobbler:
This is my point... Most people will spend the time and search for the info they need, it's really not that hard on here and google. You did it..... And you didn't expect anyone else to do all the work for you.

I know I spent hours looking at various threads and it was only then was I brave enough to attempt to put a custom rom on my streak, and it was the best decision I ever made.

@deedomond

Just go to http://streakdroid.com and then go to guides, there is a comprehensive guide on every step of the process on there. Or if you don't want to flash a custom rom, or maybe update to a newer stock rom, there is plenty of guides on here telling you how to do it... All you have to do is spend a little time, they are not that hard to find.

General info:

It has the Imagination PowerVR SGX MP GPU, which will also power the Sony NGP and the iPhone 5. Capable of 1080p60 H.264.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerVR#Series5XT_.28SGXMP.29

Note that its "AV Engine" specs allows 1080p for all H.264 profiles, as well as NEON acceleration (which the Teg2 lacks). I couldn't find tech specs for the APE5R. But by inference, the announced chip with SGX543MP2 should perform better than older EV2.

Price/performance of various Cortex A9 chips

http://www.youtube.com/watch?&v=dcdyyd2RtsA#t=159.1

..at least from the shenzhen manufacturers' perspective. Note the price/perf graph at the 3:40 mark.

Contrary to what I thought earlier, these cheap tabs are using the older EV2 (dual-core 533MHz), and the APE5R isn't yet in the mix. The "1.2GHz" is an "equivalent" marketing number, similar to AMD's old MHz-equivalent rating. This advertising practice is common for shenzhen tabs.

If the chart is to be believed--and these Asian folks are pretty honest dudes--then the EV2 is slower than the Teg2 in general perf, but its multimedia performance should be superior. From the EV2 specs (linked earlier):

AV Engine

. H.264 decode: BP/MP/HP Full HD(1920x1080)

...

. AC-3 decode Dolby digital 5.1ch

Last night I was working on unlocking my phone, HTC Surround, through Chevron and I was able to do it in the end after figuring out what was wrong.

After unlocking I decided to test out Shazam the music ID app to mess around with it, it did not work so I just left it at that. Today I got a call from my mother and answered the phone. I was able to hear her, but she couldnt hear me. I later received a call from my school friend, answered and he wasnt able to hear me either. I tested to see if it was just me answering calls or also just calling period with my friend next to me. Apparently my phone will not transmit my voice anymore, could this have happened from the unlocking process, if so how could i fix it?
