No iPhone 5 news no other new phone news

One of my co-workers and I believe news about any really **** hot phone is in limbo until iPhone5 is announced. Although everyone states their product is better than iPhone, they always wait till Steve shows his latest toy. Which has been very quite lately; my other co-worker, who follows Apple like a lemming, is “concerned” he has not heard or read anything lately. This re-enforces mine and my close co-worker’s point of view.

Additionally, I have one other opinion and that is batteries and cell phone size. To power a dual core with accessories you need POWER and today's batteries are about the best you can get per size. So if you add more capability you need more powerful and bigger batteries. Look at the Mugen Power 4800mAh extended battery for Streak and see what it does to form factor:

http://www.streaksmart.com/2010/09/...4800mah-extended-battery-for-dell-streak.html. Do you want to carry that 24/7? Although I love my Streak (5” goodness) that is even beyond what I would think to carry.

So now you two idiots’ points of view, take them for what they are worth.....:D
[Streak 5 General] futurama:
Interesting point, so something of the streak size in dual core may need to wait for a whole new battery technology........ ****
[Streak 5 General] Krad:
The streak is well over 2 years old in design. They could easily keep the same form factor but have the board and microprocessors smaller inside leaving room for larger batteries. They could easily make the battery twice as thick and an inch longer with their engineering designs.

I think there is a delay because of the honeycomb issue not being for phones. They will either go with gingerbread or start at ice cream

Krad

Although I agree that they can continue to micro size cpu's and components, power is still the issue, hence now electric cars with over 300 miles distance even though 70% of the car's weight is batteries that hours to recharge. Lithium-ion is what Lithium-ion is, so size will remain constant until next generation is developed. Would look towards the military once they figure out new battery technology look out cell phone world.

Now as for OS issues didn’t think of that and you most likely are spot on and I am off base.
[Streak 5 General] Deleted member 3105162:
The battery tech is coming just not fast enough from a consumer standpoint. I was working on my phd in chemistry at colorado state (before I decided it was pointless) and a research group across the hall from mine was making these small plates with millions of nanowires perpendicular to the plate that they then coated in battery stuff (lamens terms) giving ~1000x the power density of normal batteries and more recharge cycles without losing capacity. They have a patent and are just waiting for it to become more financially feasible from an engineering standpoint...And that's just at CSU, there are plenty of better schools out there with probably even better tech that are also waiting for a better engineering methods.
[Streak 5 General] Krad:
I also think they are waiting to sell x amount before commuting to the next model. Right now with the thunderbolt android is now mainstream and everyone wants one more then an iPhone. The streak is above adequate for now... but from a year from now. Not so much

[Streak 5 General] BlueBagodah:
I'm really liking the Streak, but I kind of miss the screen size of my Galaxy Tab. If I can have the Galaxy Tab screen size (7") with the Streak Bezel size, to make it more pocketable, and an earpiece on the device, I'd be in Heaven. The 4000mAH battery doesn't hurt either. ;)
[Streak 5 General] Rico ANDROID:
I thought the Streak 7 sound like what you described.
[Streak 5 General] Kumouri:
I don't think they're waiting for better battery tech because a dual core processor is usually more efficient than a single core because of power gating and what not. I'm also running into a few applications where my Streak isn't powerful enough because of the first gen snapdragon (and the Adreno 200) that are in it.

I'm not sure what they're waiting for, but I'm guessing they're waiting for Ice Cream and for more Streaks to sell. There wasn't much of a demand when it came out because not many people want a 5" phone. I think it's amazing, but most people don't. In the end, for Dell, it's all about how many they think they can sell and if the dev and production costs are worth it. All we can do is send them a thousand emails a day until they do it :D

But that's all just my 2 cents, take it with a grain of salt xD
[Streak 5 General] BlueBagodah:
Almost. Still a big bezel, and no phone functionality. One of the winning points the Streak 5 has is that I can hold it to my head and use it as a phone.
[Streak 5 General] breckbit:
+1

With the Streak, there´s finally a big screened device which can be used as phone and can be held on the ear... Honestly, if the Galaxy-Tab would provide me the same possibility, i would grab me a 7 inch device and would not give a damn how ridiculous it look like for people who´re not that into it...

i´m glad, that there is a further development in the Dell roadmap for an 5 inch successor...
[Xperia Arc General] Linkinsoldier:
Hello,

I have one quick question: Is is possible to update your firmware via SEUS in the future, when your bootloader is unlocked?

If so, is root (when accieved ;)) going to be lost during update?

Thank you,

Linkin
[Xperia Arc General] vegetaleb:
The bootloader has been unlocked by SE not by a XDA dev on purpose, they will not punish you in blocking SEUS ;)

SEUS upgrades will not unroot the phone or else your voided warranty because of root will be unvoided, SE will not give you this kind of gift :D
[Xperia Arc General] Mooozer:
as SEUS checks some data on preupdate state yes it is possible if you are on stock rom (with/without root not dependant).

well - root is gone though after flashing SE Update as it rewrites permissions to defaults
[Xperia Arc General] Linkinsoldier:
Thank you guys!

I knew that it was unlocked by SE, but I just wanted to check ;)

To be honest I dont see a reason, why DRM only works with locked bootloader... but nevertheless it seems to be that way (at least I read it... dont have DRM content since I am against DRM...).

is it possible you did a misspell here? it should ONLY be possible if your are on stock rom, shouldnt it?

Or dont you mean the SE rom with "stock rom" but the original android rom?
[Xperia Arc General] vegetaleb:
But anyway even if you use a custom rom then let say SE release 2.3.3 update or even 2.4 you will have people here who will post a flashable update stock rom you can easily flash in recovery :rolleyes:

It's even better and more secure than the online flash by seus (how many complaints about the flashing process freezing at some point with seus?)
[Xperia Arc General] Linkinsoldier:
ok thank you very much for your answer and your time!

Looking forward to test root on my device ;)
[Xperia Arc General] Mooozer:
ah well ^^

not type when you are thinking on sth else :p

corrected it
[Xperia Arc General] piflechien:
I have unlocked the bootloader, and tried to restore a proper image from SEUS (since i've messed up with a bad boot.img) and it's not possible.

SEUS gives me a message that it won't flash a phone that has a modified software.
[Xperia Arc General] Linkinsoldier:
mhm, thats actually why I asked :( maybe it detected a strange bootimage?
[Xperia Arc General] vegetaleb:
Well you can always backup your actual stock rom with a recovery before using a custom rom, just wait and see who is the good dev who will give us the recovery for Arc :o
[Xperia Arc General] bjy8138:
how come SE release bootloader unlock for Xperia ARC?

while we got such a hard time on Xperia X10?

it noted there, my warranty will void if i unlock the bootloader.. sigh.. they release the unlock but void ur warranty? cheating
[Xperia Arc General] Mooozer:
BECAUSE we got such hard time in x10 & people were demanding free bootloader

they flooded se on twitter, facebook, their blogs & support ^^

must have been some number so SE came up with solution ;)
[Xperia Arc General] vegetaleb:
And now you have hundreds of people unlocking their bootloader and no one to Root it :mad:
[Xperia Arc General] Mooozer:
comes time comes root ;)

be patient, in a week or so we have what we need ^^

but it isn't THAT easy as we saw from z's atempts & since there is no exploit working on 2.3 we are lucky to have such "easy" way anyway :p
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssserpentine:
Hey everyone!

I have an "I wonder?"

I wonder if there is a way to make the tab read the external sd card as the internal one and vice versa.

The tab has "3" memory locations. build in, internal and external.

You see, the external card is 32 gigs. My internal is, well, getting really low.

There are so many apps and games that store their info on the internal sd card, and if you physically move the info to the external it makes you redownload it. Some games are like a gig download!!! There is one in particular that is 1.5!

Any thoughts?

I have leedroid 2.4 and Stock HBOOT from Alpharev. When I flash a theme from recovery it seems to install okay like any other time but the theme is not applied when the phone boots.

What am I doing wrong?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
Read the instructions to install the theme?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crendot:
File got damaged? Try to get a new one!

You could also look inside the zip and see if it looks as it should.

There has to be the meta-inf folder where atlast the update script is - inside it you should see ascript code which should put one of the following folders to there destination.

Now the second thing you should see a folder named "framework", maybe he is inside a "system" folder.

Inside should for the most common themes only the "framework-res.apk" but sometimes there are also "framework.jar" and "service.jar"

Maybe this helps a bit, these are just examples ;-) damn insomnia, need sleep :-P gn8
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ed Roid:
Maybe if you are more precise someone could help you. Cause I use LeeDroid 2.4 and stock alpharev hboot and have no problem with theming, so I can't see what's different in your case.

Hi guys,

I'm new in this forum and in the world of Android! I'm using HTC HD2 and I want to use it with Android :)

So i'm just starting my questions.. :)

My first one is: What is the difference between "SD card method" and "NAND method"?

Thank you in advance! :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mdickyb:
The SD method would mean that you would be running android from the SD card. The NAND method would be running Android from the phones internal memory. Its up to you which one you go with. Have a look around and see what you like. Then search for some guides. This should get you started.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scarfman4:
What I've leardned about this phone is that you have two radio signal meters. If your 3G symbol is showing and you see the up and down arrows (whether or not they are colored) then you are looking at your data signal. When the 3G symbol has a "D" below it, or you are on wifi or data is disabled, you are looking at voice signal, which may not display correctly for a couple of seconds after 3G goes dormant.

From what I've been told data signal runs at a higher frequency than voice, so it's range is not as good. That's why you can have 3 bars of voice and 1-2 bars of data sitting in the same place.

When you go into About Phone>Status it only displays your voice signal strength.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chasabi:
Hi,

So the phone is my friends. I have had no problem with my Desire. I've installed many ROMS and played around with A2SD+ etc so I would say I know a little about what I'm doing. My friend has tried to root his and somehow has managed to brick his phone. Here I step in.... except I'm not sure how to fix it and would like some advice please!

Literally all that happens when turning the phone on is I get the stock white screen with the green HTC logo. Thats it, it goes no further. I've loaded it into the system menu holding the volume down button and tried to go into recovery (he says he has installed ClockWorkMod's recovery) but all I get is a phone symbol with a red triangle over it.

View attachment 568282

That's really where I'm at! I know where to start with a working phone but not a clue with a bricked phone! My friend also mentioned something about his phone being a newer version and that he was having problems getting it rooted.

Update: Just tried restoring factory ROM using a RUU exe program. Program detects the phone (I know this because initially it said my battery didn't have sufficient charge) and starts "Verifying your Android phone" then it fails and displays an "Error 170 USB Connection Error".

Update: I realised that I had to go into the fastboot menu which changed to fastboot usb then the phone was recognised. All looked good until it got to around 59%. My phone vibrated and continued until 100%, at which point it reported a failure.

ERROR 110: FILE OPEN ERROR. The ROM update utility cannot open the requested files or the files are damaged. RUU cannot continue with the update. Please get a complete RUU package and try again.

Latest Official RUU

or Look here:

http://www.shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bravo/

If you can access Fastboot (after taking out the battery/wait for a minute/put back in and holding BACK key+ Power) flash the RUU from your PC (with admin rights).

If not, extract the ROM.zip from the RUU using this method then rename it to PB99IMG.zip, put it on your SD card (Goldcard needed if you get 131 CID error) and run the bootloader.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chasabi:
Thanks for your reply davebugyi.

So I downloaded the file linked in "Latest Official RUU" plugged in my phone and ran it. I get a 131 error code. CUSTOMER ID ERROR. I have tried creating a goldcard but I get an error "Failed to get CID".

I have the rom from the RUU and have renamed it PB99IMG but I can't get to the HBOOT screen to run it. All I now get (this is after trying to run the RUU) is a black background with a HTC logo and 4 triangles in each corner. I noticed that the 3G RUU fails at the updating radio stage.

Thanks again.

I can't make a goldcard because I cannot boot the phone.

I have tried to flash the phone using the PB99IMG method but I can't load recovery to flash it. All I get when I boot the phone is the HTC logo.

The phone seems to be in fastboot mode while it is at the fastboot logo so I was able to try the other suggestions i.e. fastboot flash zip "filename.zip" but all I get with that is Error: Cannot load "filename.zip"

I tried two different zip files. A custom rom and one extracted from an RUU. I get the feeling that my SD card is not being read or isn;t mounted.

So far I have tried to RUU using 4 different ones. But I get either error 110 or 131 each time. I'm still stuck with the HTC screen and when I remove the USB cable I get the HBOOT screen but with no options just some system details.

Thanks you for your help with this.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ed Roid:
You said you have a Desire, right ? So you can make a goldcard, you just need to put the card of your friend's Desire into your Desire to get the CID (the CID is an identifier of the card, not the phone) and then patch the card. When you have made it a golcard, you put the P99IMG.zip file at the root of the card (make sure it is not corrupted before you do that), you then put the card back into your friend's Desire, you boot into hboot (vol. down), say yes, and you're gone.

Hi, thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately I'm passed that point. If you read up a few posts you will see where I'm at. I'm stuck with the HTC logo and four triangles. It's a really annoying problem. I can feel a fix is round the corner but I keep falling short!

I've tried this and everything else linked to in this post. Still no joy! I've tried the "fastboot oem boot" bit to try and force it to load into the ROM but it wont load.

I'm still trying to create a Gold Card but at the moment I'm struggling to get my phone to boot with a different SD card in it. My phone is running the A2SD+ mod so I'm wondering if it won't boot unless my SD card is in it. In which case I'm going to have no chance of creating a gold card!
