[Streak 5 General] procupine14:
Same, I love my 5" screen and won't give it up for the world even if the Streak isn't exactly perfect in other aspects.
[Streak 5 General] RussianSolja:
im confused.... how does this phone even compete to the streak? its a samsung phone. It's runs a samsung UI backed up by android. its not even a full Android OS. blah @ samsung UI major KAKA in my book.
[Streak 5 General] RussianSolja:
i agree. :)
[Streak 5 General] deathpulse:
Dude seriously? You use ANY phone's stock UI? I just rooted the thing and put on ADW :). BTW - battery life is much better than the Streak too. If you are due for an upgrade, you should seriously consider this. If not, I'd hold on to the Streak until the upgrade comes along - but I do think the Infuse is a better phone by a widening margin each day I use it.
[Streak 5 General] Thremix:
will wait for the HTC Holiday, 4.5 screen 1GB RAM. and a bunch of other stuff.

I bought the streak for $250 shipped, so it will be my back up phone, and I can buy a 2500 or 4800 mah batrey for the streak, so as long as I can OC to 1.2 I'll be good, I'm scared the phone will be slow with 512mb RAM though... it's just to hokd me over untill the phones I want come out, as I am able to upgrade as of now, and I would go to the infuse, but 512 RAM keeps me away.

UPDATE

1. Camera is MUUUCH better than the Streak. Check out THIS video made entirely on the Infuse: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UCm6uyzNE8&feature=feedu

2. Battery MUUUUUUCH better. Lasts approx 4 hours more for me.
[Streak 5 General] Foxhoundep3:
Can you please post some pictures side by side, or maybe a video review about the two devices? that would help a lot of us with our decision, thanks bud
[Streak 5 General] deathpulse:
uh... hmmm... I would but... my only camera is on my phone(S) LOL. I'll see if I can borrow a cam over the weekend and give you all some sense of the back to back. What do you want to see? Size and screen clarity? anything else?
[Streak 5 General] shinydesert:
And I am sure the freaking screen won't get unresponsive just because the device is in your pocket facing your leg.

This is the main reason for me to get rid of the Streak.
[Streak 5 General] The Jack of Clubs:
yesterday i lost my streak at sears hardware (im pretty sure, still dont quite know what happened). and today i needed to buy a new phone so i went to att and picked up a samsung infuse. its better and worse in some ways. the screen is actually not a big improvement. while contrast is better, it almost still looks like its backlit everywhere like an lcd and the extreme sharpness gives everything harsh jagged edges that look really unantialiased. its also completely useless in sunlight, but in complete darkness its brilliant. its give and take really. theres also a lot of plastic construction, however the textured back is really a nice touch and takes completely away the fact that it makes paper look obese. the audio quality is extremely better. its louder and clearer as a phone too. the cameras are also a big improvement. somethings must be weird with the cellular radio cause data is very inconsistant. the only big difference is the performance. even with the streak overclocked to a matching 1.2ghz, and even with the infuses oddly low benchmarks, the infuse is much, much faster. i cant explain why. even turning on live wallpapers wont slow down launcher pros scrolling. the one thing i dont like is the samsung ui, im hoping an aosp rom will come out soon, maybe even gingerbread. the battery is larger and the screen and processor use less power so maybe the battery life will be better, who knows. neither phone is bad, get or keep whatever you want more.
[Streak 5 General] Final5k:
I've read that the Infuse feels light in the hands - I mean a light phone is good for some people but too light also is a disadvantage as I don't like to get the feeling that I am holding a "cheap" phone. What do you think about its weight? Lighter than a HD2/Desire HD/Sony Satio/Nokia N8.....?
[Streak 5 General] klwong99:
Still waiting another 5" screen phone but with at least dual core processor.

Sure you will see the deference although it's just 1" screen size difference.
[Streak 5 General] slaydog:
The Infuse is pretty flippin' sweet. I held one next to my streak, and while the phone looks much shorter, the screen size looks pretty close. There is a lot less unused (on the outside) real estate above and below the screen.

I still love my Streak, and the stuff I can do on it amazes me every day, so I hope it will hold out until another phone comes out that just blows it away. Right now, anything else is still a toss-up at best...

I hope some other manufacturer can see the brilliance of the 5 inch screen, Dell gave up way to quick. Why would they abandon something so unique as the streak 5, to focus on the over-crowded 10" market? Somewhere where there is no competition to an area where they cannot compete?

Dell sucks...

:'(
[Streak 5 General] Final5k:
Oh I noticed after reading/seeing various online reviews that the Infuse has problems playing websites that has flash contents(it lags when zooming/scrolling) compared to the Streak that loads them flawlessly. Can anyone confirmed?
[Streak 5 General] marquez7890:
HTC Eternity Windows Phone has a 4.7-Inch screen
[Streak 5 General] Final5k:
Windows Phone? This OS is really ugly!! The layout is old fashion and everything is so so big. I've tested one in the past and I really don't like it.
[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
Might be close in size, but certainly not in spirit. Hopefully HTC will release an Android version.
[Streak 5 General] Final5k:
Yeah, HTC is probably the best company to go for an Android phone - they release firmware update more often than any other companies and they also have great support. Nokia support is also great, too bad they opt for Windows instead of Android. They would have probably created the best android camera phone to date.
[Streak 5 General] kanej2006:
I would never sell my Streak for the world unless it was a Streak 2, or similar with a better processor, more ram, a quality metal body and good looks...

When I found out of the all plastic cheap build quality of the Samsung Fuse I was not at all interested to buy one.

Same with Samsung Galaxy S2 & LG Captivate. I will not lash out £400+ for a cheap piece of plastic...

I do not know why Samsung & LG enjoy making cheap **** plastic phones, really bugs me.

When paying a lot of money, you should get quality... That's why I like HTC & Dell...
[Streak 5 General] Mobs69:
I have retired my Streak and am using a Galaxy S2 now. It may be made of plastic, but it is a quality product. Sleek, thin and light as a feather.

Now I loved my Streak, but I had one go bad one me and another I had to replace the LCD on. The Streak may have a metal casing, but that makes the phone much heavier and it is my opinion that is why so many users had their screens break on the Streak when dropped very short distances.

I am much less concerned about something happening to my S2 if I were to drop it.

I feel like my S2 is a quality phone and worth every penny.

To each their own.... ;)
[Streak 5 General] htcjikelly:
I have not even seen a windows phone. Are they doing very well?
[Streak 5 General] htcjikelly:
Can I have your streak??
[Streak 5 General] Mobs69:
I will be selling it soon along with a commuter case, dock, and extra usb cable.
[Streak 5 General] bigtoysrock:
Not true in the least. The Infuse stock is way smooth. Web and flash are just fine. I sold mine cause I needed cash fast and picked up a rooted streak for $150. Had one before and it broke on me, well son gave it a drink. The one thing thats wierd is in about phone it says its an Incredible.
[Streak 5 General] digthemlows:
I've had the infuse for a week now and it blows my Streak away..........screen is WAAAAY better and with a custom ROM it's a GREAT phone.........DJ Steve made the Streak an amazing phone with no help from Dell, but it doesn't compare to the Infuse and that's just because of hardware.
[Streak 5 General] htcjikelly:
Selling, that is nothing like letting someone have something. :(
[Samsung Mesmerize] buffsterboy15:
err k. so im a complete idiot. some how i managed not only to format my system but then also delete every file on the sd card. so i cant boot into recovery cus it dont exist any more. and for some reason i can also no longer flash rom.tar files or cwm.tar file using odin. have any idea what i should do or am i just screwed?
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
I would first try to get into download mode. If you can get into download mode, then you can flash the build. If you can't get into download mode, then you might be screwed. Jump over to the irc channel in my signature and tell them which phone it is and see if they can help you out. I should be back in there soon if no one is available.
[Samsung Mesmerize] buffsterboy15:
i do have a limited android recovery that would let me apply sdcard update.zip
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
That's the stock recovery - if you are able to get into that then you most likely should be able to get into download mode (which would enable you to flash the stock build in odin.) Like phidelt82 said, jump in the IRC chat when you can - we're always there to help. Otherwise I suggest you go back to the stock thread and read those instructions carefully and try again.
[Samsung Mesmerize] stckmojo:
I had this happen too once.

Just take the battery out, hold your volume down button and donwload mode should show up.

Get a copy of oden / froyo 2.2 and you'll be up and running in minutes.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] stridger:
EXPERTS ONLY!!! USE WITH CAUTION I DO NOT ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR BRICKS.

I have written a tool to create blobs which can be used to flash boot/recovery images on the Transformer.

All information can be found on

http://www.opencodes.org/node/16

Let me know if you had success or problems/errors. But please do bear in mind that messing up boot or recovery and generally flashing blobs can brick your device and I cannot accept any responsibility for that!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] rothnic:
Thanks so much for doing this, since the current effort I'm aware of to do the same thing wasn't very forthcoming on details.

Would you mind detailing what you found out in the reverse engineering? I was planning to start working on this also.

Edit: Well, since it is a script, I guess I can wait till I get home from work for details.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] stridger:
The basic idea is very simple. There is a header that is in the file (the header I have in the script is slightly longer since it e.g. contains a value which tells the bootloader that there is just one partition in the blob. That value is technically variable, but I didn't need that feature).

The crucial line is then

head="$header $partaddr $filepos $length 01 00 00 00"

whcih tells you exactly what the file looks like before the partition contents are pasted in.

$partaddr is the internal partition address of the Eee Pad, so is different depending on whether we flash boot or recovery. And those are the same in the two released Eee Pad versions (WW/US) [I did check that in the ASUS Firmware releases]. You can see in the script what they are.

$filepos is the hex address of the partition start in the blob. Again that is constant in my script as we only have one partition - it can very easily be adapted to accept multiple partitions, though I couldn't see when I would need that.

$length is the size of the partition in hex.

One thing to note is that each 4-byte hex value is reversed in the file (as in the bytes are reversed), ie the address 0x4C is actually 0x0000004C . That applies to all the values above.

I'm not entirely sure what the value '01 00 00 00' (which actually is just 0x1) represents but it is constant in all blobs for all partitions. It could be that that value is an override flag if one wanted to ignore a partition or similar, but I haven't tested that.

Yes, exactly. It's all open for people to look at.

Generally I believe that we all should collaborate and release our work as soon as we can (with appropriate cautions to avoid n00b-bricks!), to allow further progress by others. I really dislike the closed-clique nature some devs are adopting just to get the credit for something. All of this rooting is not *such* a big deal, especially since we all rely on work done by others in our efforts. So here's to open hacking :)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] alrit:
The very first cappy Qs:

1 How can I get the themed lockscreen? cannot find it in cm7's ls menu.

2 and notification-bar-battery cycle?

3 really like to know what your messaging widget is..'

4 what are those lovely buttons below messaging and above power widget?

5 to me font size seems a little bit small~~ can font switcher change that?

6 what is the sendfile app?

:D
[Captivate Themes and Apps] nbanicholas:
In a couple hours I'm making an update, Ill find out exactly what is what then... however I do know that the lockscreen is widgetlocker[$], the message widget is a part of LP+[$](honeycomb theme), those "buttons" are a part of a volume app[free], and the font switcher can't directly change the font size(however it can give you a font that's bigger).

you may have CM set to have the % in the batt so if you turn that off it should look like mine.

as far as the sendfile, i think you may be referring to dropbox... in which case if you dont know what it is, just visit dropbox.com
[Captivate Themes and Apps] XsceneXhippieX:
i can confirm that this theme works on the HTC HD2 running hyperdroid cm7, (cm 7.0.1 currently to my knowledge) i am a honeybread convert like others ive seen and i gotta say this is beautiful, its exactly what ive been looking for, every detail seems to be a perfect mix of gingerbread and honeycomb on my phone now :) thank you for this amazing theme

[Captivate Themes and Apps] nbanicholas:
correct, until the next update is ready it will be down... normally this doesnt take but a few hours or even a few minutes, but life happened then mothers day so just got swamped mid process.

This particular update the original had to be taken down because it wasnt compiled correctly so it would flash but only a few bits of the theme would actually be applied.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] canaya:
how do yu download cm 7?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ajizle123:
Go SMS

How do you theme the Go SMS app? The preview you show seems to look more like the default messaging app. Maybe a handscent theme would be nice? Other than that this works excellent, great theme and good work.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] nbanicholas:
That can be themed in its preferences...you can use images as well as solid colors, i used a HC wallpaper and then the rest are just solid colors
[Captivate Themes and Apps] emcnelly:
Awesome theme, I love the notification pull down menu I've been searching for a good transparent one. Keep up the great work.

[G2 and Desire Z General] itm:
I'm having problems moving bookmarks up and down the list in Dolphin HD. When I press and hold the icon to the right of each bookmark I can drag it up or down the list, but when when I remove my finger the bookmark always returns to where I dragged it from.

What is the correct way of moving a bookmark up or down the list?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgariano:
My wife uses an unrooted G2. She likes using Google Talk video chat on her computer. She would love to be able to use it on her phone, even without a front facing camera. I've read elsewhere that Cyanogen has started incorporating 2.3.4 and Video Chat into the nightly builds for the G2. I'm hesitant to root and flash her phone with the current nightly build, since I don't to risk giving her an unstable phone that has broken other features she used to using.

What's the rule of thumb for jumping to a CM build in a case like this? Do you wait for a "stable" build to be posted? If so, about how long it take from the time they start incorporating the stuff you want into nightly builds before it becomes stable (a week, a month, etc)?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilostchild:
just do a nandroid of current rom then flash latest build anf give it a try, some builds are pretty stable aand have lot of fixes with current issues, if bad and have issue you can wipe and restore
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spastic909:
Or use tango or fring... or search for the apk that has the updated video chat incorporated
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgariano:
I tried tango and fring, but neither of them work with the desktop browser version of google talk video chat. We've got the whole extended family on gtalk vc, so in order for video chat on the phone to be value added, it has to work with that. Thanks though.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spastic909:
Just root, download the google talk 1.3 flashable zip, flash with rom manager or in recovery, all done.

I haven't seen the zip in the g2/dz forums but I found it through google...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrant:
I don't think gtalk 1.3 will work on anything before 2.3.3. At least that's what I have been reading. I got it working perfectly on CM 7.0.2 by flashing the new gapps version.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spastic909:
Yeah I haven't used froyo in a while so I just assumed. Word
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgariano:
How's the stability of 7.0.2? Any significant bugs? Also, I see that 7.0.3 is now in the list of stable builds -- were there be any reason for me not to flash that instead of 7.0.2?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nashwing:
On the G2? I'm running #65 with latest (05032011) gapps with talk 1.3... Can't/Don't see a way to establish video or voice chat... I've checked the block for enable video/voice calls, but only can text chat...:confused:
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrant:
I did push a new googleservicesframework.apk while trying an alternate method. That just gave me force closes when trying video of audio. I flashed the same gapps as you and it stopped force closing and I get two way audio and video.

I'm running CM 7.0.2 with pershoots kernel on a G2.

Jgariano,

7.0.2 is perfectly stable for me. No problems to speak of. I read the only change in 7.0.3 is a security fix, so no major changes.

--MrAnt--
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nashwing:
Hmmmm, I wonder if I need to flash a googleservicesframework.apk as well... I don't have any options for video, and the audio link is greyed out, although it if pushed, it says 'calling' but doesn't really do anything. There is no video option at all, and when viewing my status from another g-mail account, it doesn't show the video camera icon.

:confused:
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sandyman538:
I have the same 'problem' with google talk. Everything works fine except the video calling. I can't select it. (When i open talk and then click on my own name, there isn't a box i can check to accept video calling).
