The Streak is a really awesome device. I'm only 2 weeks into ownership myself and am loving it.
[Streak 5 General] RussianSolja:
The phone itself has more Pro's then Con's, At least in my book. This phone will be the best thing you've ever purchased i promise. :cool:
[Streak 5 General] eSZee:
Best thing he ever bought? He must not buy many things, then. It's a great gadget but it's still just a gadget.

@Final5k and are you happy with your decision? hope you are. can you give some feedback?
[Streak 5 General] Final5k:
I already bricked my Streak in less than 24hrs...I had experienced in flashing nokia,htc,sony phones in the past, but the Streak is somewhat more complex to flash if you are not careful enough! Very very annoying. Don't know how to unbrick it at the moment.

But my 1st impression was that the screen is awesome and very good. The phone is bulky...I mean really big (like a brick) when you are holding it near your ears and most people would tell you it is too big of a phone to own.

The Dell Stage homescreen is not good at all and since the screen is large, each dell stage widget should have taken 3/4 of the screen instead of the small size placement!! The scrolling to change to each home screen is also a pain! HTC Sense is a better example on how it should have been. Speaker volume is great - better than the HTC TOUCH PRO2/HD2/DESIRE and video playback is smooth provided you know how to encode your movies for smooth viewing.

Regarding its weight, I didn't find it heavy but people with small hands will probably not be at ease with holding/using it on a daily basis(I think the Streak is more suited to be a MALE's phone due to its large size). Regarding construction materials, the back seems solid but what a let down for the plastic front panel. They get scratched easily if you are not careful enough.

Only drawback(my opinion) is the flashing which is a pain in the a*s since most of the time, when I was trying to update to an official rom, I ended with a bad flash (I even didn't root my device). I am still happy even I can't use the phone now and don't regret my purchase since I like big screen for internet,email and watching videos. Sure it will attract attention at first, but by the end of the day, most people will tell you that it is too big of a phone and perhaps they'll find its design ugly due to the size.
[Streak 5 General] eSZee:
Install streakdroid, it will fix the device.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] migueel:
Hey, it's my first time in this forum.

I'm having a problem: I have a lg p500 with a custom rom (which uses app2sd with partitions in the sd card). I use a class 4 4gb sd card. Everything okay till here: I want to use a 8gb sd card in this phone, so I upgraded the custom recovery to version 1.2 (i had 1.0) so I could do a nandroid backup of the ext4 parts + ROM. So I copied evertyhing to new sd card, did a nandroid of the ROM + ext4 partition, copied the 'nandroid' folder to the new sd card, put the new sd card (the 8gb one) on the phone), turned on the phone in recovery mod, did the restore, and reboot. But the phone freezes at the LG Logo. But if I use the OLD sd card I can iniciate the phone correctly. Any ideas on this? :\
[Optimus One, P500, V General] yanuk:
I assume you have created a new ext4 partition on your new card manually like you did on your old card right?

Use a Linux os (like ubuntu) to copy everything in the ext4 partition of the old sd card to the new sd card ext4 partition. Then repeat for the fat32.

It should work. It did for me.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] migueel:
Yes I created. Well, how do I do that? I don't know how to work with linux or ubuntu :s
[Optimus One, P500, V General] marioemp2k7:
I am not sure about the nandroid backup. Have you done it with the same recovery (backup and restore)?

Anyway I would do it without the phone.

You can download and install EASEUS Partition Master --> Home Edition. It has some nice copy features that you can try (Copy partition with fast file-by-file copy to protect your data; Copy entire hard disk to another without Windows system reinstallation; etc.)

Just read and try it for yourself (there are multiple alternatives).
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mmarz:
If you can backup and restore nandroid backups using your recovery, then you can use that method to restore your ext partition.

Create a nandroid backup while your old card is still in your phone.

Turn off your phone and remove the memory card.

Put in the new memory card.

Boot into your recovery and partition the new memory card.

While still in the recovery, format it to ext4 using adb shell:

su
umount /sd-ext
mke2fs -m0 -b4096 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
e2fsck -yf /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
tune2fs -o journal_data_writeback /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

Now turn on usb mass storage mode (still in recovery under mounts and storage) and transfer the nandroid backup from your old memory card to your new memory card using your computer.

Restore the nandroid backup. If you have the option of advanced restore, use that instead, and just restore the sd-ext partition.

Now boot up your phone (it should work).

Restore the rest of the contents of your memory card.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] migueel:
EDIT: Can't do the commands (i type adb shell in cmd, and then su and appears "/sbin/sh: su: not found"

EDIT2: There is only one option for nand restore (which I hope it restores the ext4 too). Anyway, did everything you said (except for that adb stuff) and stuck at LG logo again (yay).
[Optimus One, P500, V General] migueel:
I'm trying your option, but I cannot make it so the Fat32 partition will have the same exact size, so that the rest is ext4 (btw, in the program my 512mb partition appears as 489,26 mb and ext3, altough it is ext4)

In the this picture:

in 1 the size is bigger altough it is a 512mb partition, so how do I know what FAT32 partition to create, so that the exact partition left is ext3, since I cannot join 2 partitions?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mmarz:
The su command is just to make sure you are root. If you have # and not $, you can continue with the commands. They format the partition to ext4.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] migueel:
The other commands don't work either, same error.

EDIT: Finally I made it, using "MiniTool partition wizard home edition" :D
[LG Optimus 2x] prince.siraj:
Hi guys,

I was just wondering if there was a possibility of porting a Sense ROM for the G2x. That would be cool :D

EDIT: I wasn't sure if this was more appropriate in the themes/apps forum or here...
[LG Optimus 2x] ionhide:
Incredible that you havent looked the threads thru in this forum before posting, there is a topic about the same in the front page!!
[LG Optimus 2x] prince.siraj:
The thing about the Sensation? Yeah, I know, but I was asking about any Sense, not specifically 3.0 or the Sensation.

EDIT: and after like an hour I finally realized I failed. Thanks :)

Mods please close this.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colonel:
Just bought a new vodafone wildfire and had it sim unlocked

Its on 2.2.1 and hboot is 1.001

So I get the joke, I can't root it :(

But is there still a way of putting a generic ROM on it ?

If the "old days" you could do it with a gold card.

Does this still work on "2.2.1" ?

many thanks in advance
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3xeno:
No, it doesn't. Sorry.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daddyspud:
You could try downgrading there is a thread but the issus is there is a possibility of bricking the device so of course be carefully
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GéVé:
Indeed .... don't do this.

It's to risky....wait and root if it's possible for u !
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caros_hsu:
u can only update RUU rom.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] komsa:
you could do the S-OFF (security off)in any bigger service with XTC-clip,after that you can root and flash what ever you wish......
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shiranmotha:
I am new to android. I have used WinMob for the last 6 years.

I tried several times with a gold card and the shipped WWE RUU, but failed with a signature error.

I searched but couldn't fine a specific thread on flashing stock RUU for 2.2.1. Can someone plz point me.... Thanks in advance.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bx19:
the older days have gone.

none of the processes which worked for eclair wildfire (with older hboot) now work for froyo wildfire.

And till now, on froyo wildfire with hboot 1.01, u cant even get a simple root just for using ROOT ONLY APPS.

what all u can do is WAIT DUDEEEE...................
[Droid X General] juanzr1:
I've haven't heard of 5.0 till today. 4.9 works fine so I don't get why they make another version
[Droid X General] razorloves:
rsdlite is not just for our phone.

i have seen people say that 5.0 works fine with the droid x.

i'm sticking with 4.8. i never have a problem with it.
[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
I've been on 4.7 and I have never had a problem with it
[Droid X General] juanzr1:
Oh ok thanks I read that 5.0 supports flashing for the atrix. Thanks for the help
[Droid X General] cooley_l:
RSDLite 5

I used it today to SBF to 2.3.34 from 1st leaked GB and it worked fine for me.:):)
[Droid X General] jgraham4598:
I just upgraded to 4.9. Worked for me on windows 7 64 bit. Think I will use it a little longer.
[Droid X General] skennelly:
I see a lot of people that have to try several different versions of rsd until they find one that works. So, if 4.9 works then there is no reason to upgrade.

Sent from my DROID X in Western Illinois
[Droid X General] drkcobra:
RSD Lite 5.0 wors fine

RSD Lite 5.0 came out as a requirement for the Atrix 4G firmware, but it works fine with all the other Moto Droids and is the recommended one to avoid ficticious and annoying issues. Starting with version 4.9 they added an option to not delete the temp files created during the flash on exit. This is invaluable if you do lots of phones or are going to want to reflash your phone several times. Wastes a little hard drive space, but saves a lot of time!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rash799:
Hi guys

A while back my phone would not connect to the computer and now it does not even charge:( I took it to orange and they said that it is out of Organe guarantee since I have had b=it for longer than 6 months and that I would need to send it to Sony. I called SOny and they said that I should send it to them and they will fix it for free if the fault is due ti a manufacturer fault but will chage if it is not due nto a manufacturer fault.

Does anyone know what could be wrong with the phone?? DO you thionk that this will be a manufacturer fault?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrKrFfXx:
Broken USB port. Probably due to misuse, like too many connects and disconnects without being gentle removing the plug, etc, and if it is due to misuse, they will charge you the repair bill.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duffy1807:
I have the same problem. Before sending the phone try a couple of options like

A Different Battery

A Different Charger ... PLUG + LEAD

Charge with the Phone turned off. --> Can take a couple of minutes before a a red light / screen comes on ive found out.

If all this fails then it must be a broken USB Port. Am going to be sending my off soon, as intermits and effects the volume button when plugged in . Just they that hold the phone for about 2 weeks and i need my phone :(

Hope you get it sorted :D
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asa2303:
Just got my phone back after 3 weeks!!!! Same thing happened to me too, but was still under warranty, had to unmod my phone first tho lol
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cockbeard:
Orange are being retarded. Walk into a shop, request that they repair or replace it. Be firm yet polite, request manager if needed. Do it on a Saturday afternoon, busiest sales day, will not want you in front of customers, taking up sales time. Inform the manager that as the retailer your contract is with them not the manufacturer. It's his responsibility to make good on that contract, six months is an unreasonable period of time in which to develop a fault. He can get a replacement from SE but that it not your concern. The manager will know retail law, you now sound like you know what you are talking about, he'll cave, though he may need his area manager
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CMoney87:
There are common problems with both the USB port in the phone and with the included USB charging cable. Before trying to get the phone repaired you should first make sure the cable is good. The end of the cable that plugs into the phone can be easily deformed and wont properly connect (it plugs in but wont seat right so it wont charge/connect to PC) this happened to mine and I replaced it with a gigaware gold plated one that cost me $30 USD but charges my phone ~3x faster.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rash799:
thanks for the advice guys, I will just have to send it off to Sony. I really wanted to get it sorted without sending it to Sony since I have rooted the phone and added a custom rom which may cause problems since the guarantee is void if the software has been tampered with. I have tried a new battery and have tried 2 other cables with no success.

I completely agree, I work at Comet and was under the impression that the retailer always sends the product off to the manufacturer since I bought the product from the retailer and not the manufacturer.

I don't suppose anyone knows how much this could cost?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CMoney87:
You can unroot the phone and flash the manufacturers FW back on the phone although in most cases just rooting and flashing custom ROMs doesn't void your warranty as the Android OS is google software not the phone makers.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaykeeley:
I had the same problem, went into local tmobile store, and they sent it off and I had it back, with a new main board and they had even replaced the screen protector for me all for free, in less than a week :)

I reflashed it with tmobile firmware before I sent it back btw
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rash799:
I was reading the Sony leaflet that you get with the X10 and it mentioned that the warranty does not cover changes in software however my problem is more of a software problem so I am hoping that this will not affect me. just hope they don't switch on the phone (after they get it working) and see a big blue piece of text saying Cyanogen with a blue line circulating around it:D

I cant believe Orange wont send it off for me whereas TMobile (who are more or less the same company) do send off the product off.

I am going to send it off to sony and will update this thread with the outcome as it may help other X10 users in the future
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitalbr:

[HTC Inspire 4G] metaldood:
On iDevices there is an App called Air Video Server which is a neat s/w to stream videos from PC to iDevice over Wifi/3G

So is there any simple way to stream videos(any video format like mkv, avi, .mov ) from PC to Inspire atleast on Wifi? :confused:
[HTC Inspire 4G] newter55:
"any video format" is tough but using playon and vlc works for me. Also gets you the ability to stream hulu, netflix, etc.
[HTC Inspire 4G] metaldood:
Any video format meaning mkv, avi , .mov ;)

Do you install playon on phone and vlc on PC? Is there a step by step guide?
[HTC Inspire 4G] newter55:
Playon is installed on the PC and phone, vlc on computer. Go to playon site for instructions. The software is not free but they have a trial period to make sure it will do what you want. They say that using vlc to stream within playon is beta but I haven't had any issues with it. Works great for streaming to a roku box and wifi blue ray player as well.

The problem is it often rejects calls as im pulling it out of my pocket. Any way to hack the answer screen back to the default ginger lock screen?
[Captivate General] Ferrari353:
First of all, this isn't my phone. It's my sister's. Anyway, when she downloads an app from Market, it starts the download and shows up in the notification bar, and then like 3 seconds later, it just disappears. It shows up in "My Apps" but it's not downloaded...like it's in the list, but it still asks to download it. The phone is not rooted. I can't seem to figure out what to do...Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Greg
[Captivate General] MurphyZombie:
I've had this happen to me before. In fact happened just last night. Turned out last night my wifi was on the fritz. I turned it off in my phone and turned it back on and it worked just fine. Other times I've had to put it into airplane mode, then turn the wifi back on to get it to download.

If those don't work you could try turning off wifi and forcing it to download OTA. I think I had to do that one time. Hope that helps some.
[Captivate General] Ferrari353:
how would you download apps OTA? I know you can get OTA updates, but idk how you would download apps OTA?
[Captivate General] MurphyZombie:
Just use your 3G is what I meant.
[Captivate General] Ferrari353:
oh okay.

EDIT: She says she's turned WiFi off and on before and it still doesn't work. And she can't download apps on 3G either...
[Captivate General] MurphyZombie:
OK goto Settings > Applications > Manage Applications, Then click the All button and scroll down till you find Market, select it then Clear Data. There might be something hung up in there causing issues.
[Captivate General] quarlow:
This happens to me occasionally. The app Lookout causes it a lot for me. After I uninstalled that app ut still did it. What works for me is to clear the cache and data for the market.

Settings

Applications

Manage applications

Select "all" tab

Locate "market"

Click on it, then click force stop, clear data and clear cache

Restarting the market will take longer than usual, but this always fixes my problem.
[Captivate General] Ferrari353:
Already tried it. Didn't work...

I've posted this over at AndroidForums too, so I got a few potential solutions that didn't work. I tried looking up the problem a couple days ago, and that's what came up (your idea.) It didn't work though...
[Captivate General] MurphyZombie:
Well the only things I can think of would be if you're rooted and have CWM is to reboot into recovery and wipe cache partition (not factory reset) and wipe dalvik cache. Not sure if those will do anything for you, but it won't hurt anything to try.

The other thing is to do a factory reset. Of course you'd need to back everything up all your apps and data and copy it off the phone.

Those are the only things I can think of other then waiting and seeing if anybody else has any better ideas.
[Captivate General] Ferrari353:
It's not rooted though, so you can't really backup...
[Captivate General] TRusselo:
i had it happen to me, and all i did was reboot. fixed!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] taffypride:
I have recently acquired a T-Mobile branded G2 Touch (also called HTC Hero I believe)....and the only problem is it sim locked to the T-Mobile network.

I have followed this guide to first temporary root, and then permanent root (and sim unlock) the phone....but it doesn't work.

At least I get an error "cannot cycle eMMC" whether I use v0.04 or v0.02 in the guide.

If I follow the guide here, is this more likely to work and would it unlock the sim?

The only other option is to pay T-Mobile £15+ for a Sim Network Unlock code....but I would rather only do that as a last resort....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Sim lock is something completly different then rooting the phone.

If you want a sim unlocked phone you need to so it trough the network unlock or go to some tele shop.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
Yup, rooting your phone does not unlock it. You need an unlock code. Google hero unlock or some similar combination and you will find lots of people selling unlock codes for the hero.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Product F(RED):
Also, it's not called the Hero. It's the HTC Vision.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] walk.away:
Seeing as he/she posted in the g2 touch/hero forum, i would assume they know it is a hero. The vision is known as the g2 or desire z.

Just incase you are unsure, the "vision" has a slide out keyboard. If the phone you have has a rather sizeable chin and a trackball, it is a hero.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] taffypride:
the phone has a definate chin and trackball.....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Product F(RED):
Alright, then it's a Hero. Sorry, it's just that you put G2 in the title, which is a different phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mljjlm:
He wrote "G2 Touch" which is the T-mobile-version of HTC Hero..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rustynuts34:
If I remember from the guide on here I had to create a goldcard and downgrade or something similar I am also on tmobile, have a look through the xda guide
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Product F(RED):
Which doesn't exist in America. Sorry, I went by what I know. We just have the G2 here.
[Desire General] undercover:
Hi guys. Decided to do some research. What radio works best for you with 3UK? If you flashed ril as well, please include that information. Personally, best one so far is .14 which comes with the last 3UK froyo update.
[Desire General] Bingley:
32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17 & HTC-RIL_1.6.1062G (see sig) works decently for me - is this the froyo one? Poor reception are and signal generally worse from later afternoon. Tried the new 5.17.05.08 & ril in my sig but reception was really poor.

Any others?
[Desire General] undercover:
Agree on the latest one, but I noticed that it didn't completely loose signal for much longer than other radios. Has anyone tried earlier versions than .14, pre froyo.
[Desire General] Bingley:
I found it terrible difficult to connect to 3 at certain times - it would list it searching for networks, yet selecting it would result in 'Unable to connect to this network at this time'; I tried *#*#4636#*#* and chose wcdma only but it didn't seem to stick some times, GSM prl(?) auto I think worked sometimes. Assume it's just my poor reception.
[Desire General] Dazeon:
Hey, did you ever manage to find a solution to this problem?

I have an Orange UK branded Desire that I have unlocked using sieempi's SIM-Unlock Utility, however when I inserted my 3 PAYG SIM it is doing exactly what you described in your post.

If I leave it for about half an hour it will connect to the 3 network with full signal strength, however, after a while it will revert back to 'Unable to connect to this network at this time'.

I decided to test it out today whilst I was out and about to see whether it would work correctly in a better signal area but it managed to kill my phone's battery after around an hour.

Now usually my battery life is perfect, and using my current Orange PAYG SIM under Oxygen 2.1.3 will last for at least a full day, using Wi-Fi, GPS and mobile internet.

I desperately want to switch to 3 though as there AYCE on PAYG for £15 a month is pretty hard to beat!

Anyone have any ideas?
