[Dell Streak 7] hellspike9:
Hey guys, if anyone's not to busy I could use some help. I'm not a total helpless fool seeing as I have rooted several phones around my school; at the same time I know there is still much to android I stand to learn. long story short for some reason i cant get adb to recognise my dell streak 7 wifi. I've tryed a few phones and my adb driver picks them up right away. I've downloaded and reinstalled everything including the "drivers" for the dell. The dell sync software works fine, but im still at a loss. Any help would be great, my end goal is to upgrade to HC.
[Dell Streak 7] solidsnake66:
I had to go to other verisons under the dell streak driver on their support site. Try the ones at this link:

Dell Streak 7 ADB Drivers

Those are what I've been using.

Ok I messed up and need a little help.

Went through a couple threads to troubleshoot and not gotten very far.

I9000M

I was using a older froyo version of docs rom with voodoo kernal.

I decided to try to flash stock JVH with all files (pda, phone, CSC) with odin 1.7

re-partition checked, update bootload checked, 512 pit

phone reboots and when wiping data error message "E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcbl0p2"

No recovery but download works

You tried flashing eclair then froyo?

I usually revert to EZBase when switching roms. Maybe someone else can confirm this is a solution?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bossman74:
Flash back to KC1 using Odin.

And if you get the famous E: Can't mount /dev/block/stl10 (invalid Argument) message, follow the instructions in this thread:

Worked for me after flashing back to KC1 coming from JVH

Thanks you all !

used the EZbase and then flashed to KC1 ..booted right up !!!

Thanks again !

[A7 General] drgriffin2:
Hey folks BRAND new here. Looks like wayyy more info than my little brain can handle. I'm 24 hours into ownership of an elocity a7. One of the great things I purchased this for was the HDMI output. I watch alot of sports on espn3 and I want to send it directly to my flat screen via the HDMI output port. I keep getting a message that "Window limit reached" Could not open a new window because you have already opened the maximum number. Is there a work around for this? I only have the browser opened so I feel like I only have one window opened and I know the espn3 player is trying to start / open in another window.

Any help with this is much appreciated.

Thanks!
[A7 General] dcsparky:
You probably have to many browser windows open. It has happened to me.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scoutzr:
not sure if this belongs in this board, but Ive been calling ATT for a while now to get an unlock code for my overseas trip.

I got mine, but...

I just don't know how exactly I'm supposed to enter it, Ive been getting mixed messages from each rep involving the steps, but the code seems to be the same.

Can someone tell me how to enter it?

---things they've told me:

- you need a diff carrier's sim card

- you dont need a diff carriers sim card

- you need to enter stuff like (#7563*638*.........)

- you dont need to enter stuff like (#7563*638*.........)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zehns10:
Well I just called ATT and was given my unlock code... The directions given weren't the best but managed to get it unlocked to hopefully I can help.

The woman on the phone gave me a long winded code #746...*638*742.....# Which obviously didn't work since there is no option to type in # or * when getting to the unlock screen. So I just started typing in the different numbers she gave me. I typed in the second series of 742... numbers which was 8 digits in total and hit enter and my phone was unlocked. I should also mention I did have an Australia sim card in when doing this so I'm not sure whether or not another sim is needed in the process.

Hope this helps and you can get it to work...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scoutzr:
what is the 742 number sequence they gave you? id like to try it with my unlock code.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zehns10:
I actually left the code I was give at work so can't give it to you ATM... From what I've read all each individual phone has its own unique code so its doubtful mine would work anyway.

Basically what I did is entered the last 8 numbers that ATT gave me with my Aussie sim in the phone. If you're still not able to get it to work tomorrow I'll find my code at work and you can see if it'd randomly work for you.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scoutzr:
I still haven't been able to unlock mine.

Could you please give me a step-by-step guide for unlocking my phone the way that you did?

I just need the steps and the 742 number, i already have my code.

Thank you.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnderPsp:
Found this (and cleaned it a bit):

How to enter the unlock code for Samsung Focus (aka NCK)?

To enter unlock code for most Samsung:

Method 1:

1. Insert a foreign sim card

2. Enter the PIN if the card has it

3. now enter code NCK

=> the phone should be unlocked

If your phone does not ask for an unlock code:

Method 2:

1. Switch ON your phone with a non accepted SIM Card

2. Compose:

#7465625*638*CODE#

OR

*#7465625*638*CODE#

OR

#0111*CODE#

WARNING: entering wrong code 3 times or more will FREEZE the phone and you will need an UNFREEZE code (another one).

Hope one of above works for you.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ablefarmer:
Samsung Focus Unlock worked..

Thanks to Zehns10, the instructions worked perfect. Not only the AT&T person spent an hour trying to help me without success, but I also spent an hour with Samsung Technical Support Level 3 guys and it was a total waste of time.

The key to unlocking your Samsung Focus phone is

to have a

"NON AT&T SIM CARD" with you and insert that in your phone to proceed with unlocking. Both AT&T and Samsung Tech support will tell you to take the SIM card off and try all kinds of stuff and it simply won't work.

Happy camper, I am now!

AbleFarmer.:)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scoutzr:
Yep, my phones unlocked now :D

Thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strattao:
Agreed - this is what I had to do to unlock my phone - AT&T rep was useless.

Thanks!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sensboston:
I've asked AT&T (just in case) via email and they send me an unlock code with complete instructions including that step (non-AT&T sim card). Total time spent - less than 5 minutes (except waiting for reply, of course). So if you not in hurry, use email :-)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amolsarva:
what is the procedure?

i got the unlock code from AT&T

but no procedure.

when I power on I get SIM ERROR

so...where do I enter this lovely code?

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smit.ruparelia:
Sir, I have got my unlock code. When i enter a non accepted SIM card i am getting an error "Incorrect SIM". It does not ask for unlock code. I want to try Method 2 mentioned by you but i am not quite sure what "Compose" means as mentioned in step 2. Also a few screenshots or a video tutorial demonstrating method 2 will be a great help.

Thanks in advance.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cal4877:
Where can I get the unlock code?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sensboston:
Ask your provider (T-Mobile).
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cognus:
question?

can I ask a really dumb question:

below Method 1 says "3. now enter code NCK" .... Where? using what? the widget that pops up asking for the Pin is a numeric keypad only.

what is it that allows the 'input' of "NCK"???

and similarly, in Method 2, what device/widget/applet allows the input of "CODE" ??

i guess others know this, but so-called "legacy" SIM's are not liked by the i917
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hassanselim0:
I live in Egypt and I won a Samsung Focus S in a Windows Phone development competition (it was held by Microsoft Egypt).

The only problem is that it's locked by AT&T and I'm unable to use my Vodafone Egypt SIM.

I contacted Microsoft here but they keep telling me that they'll get me the code and they don't, so I decided to do this myself.

Can you tell me how to contact AT&T to get the unlock code? I don't think I can call them because that would cost me A LOT (international calls here are very expensive), and tell me what I need to say to them in order for them to give me the code :)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sensboston:
Contact AT&T via email (see my posts above) or just pay $20 to these guys: http://www.samsungimeiunlock.com/samsung-focus-s-unlock (I hope, $20 is not A LOT for you? :) )
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hassanselim0:
Ok so I just discovered that I can call AT&T's customer service from Skype for free :D

So I called them and I told them about my case and gave them my IMEI number, but they couldn't find my unlock code :(

I asked them what could be the reason for that, they told me that with new phones like mine, the manufacturer doesn't release the unlock codes to the carriers until some time has passed, that time can be a month or a year or forever!

Can someone tell me why would Samsung do this? and does that mean I'll have to use samsungimeiunlock.com to SIM Unlock my phone?

20$ isn't that much (it's approximately 120 Egyptian pounds), but I would've preferred if I was able to get it for free :D
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sensboston:
XDA Q&A isn't the best place to ask rhetorical questions. Forward your question to Samsung. Also, as for samsungimeiunlock.com better to ask samsungimeiunlock.com guys directly (I'm not working on samsungimeiunlock.com).
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lviv73:
Thats what im asking, #7465625*638*CODE# ,how am i supposed to enter *CODE# if phones dial pad only enters numbers?

I been on xda for over 4 years now but this dont make any sence,this dude should be punched in his face for posting this nonsence.

---------- Post added at 10:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:19 AM ----------

You need to give better instructions on where to enter these codes,one thing for sure is that they cannot be entered on the dialpad.How anyone can make any sence of this is beyond me.
[Galaxy S II General] robot1000:
Thought I'd create a thread where people can post up the differences they notice with the updated firmware. I'll try and keep an update of the posts below:

1) Ability to chance sensitivity of 'Motion Services' in the 'Motion Settings' Menu
[Galaxy S II General] Robboftw:
Lock screen more responsive.

Home button wakes the phone instantly unless it has been idle for a long time.
[Galaxy S II General] 101matt101:
You could already do that before the update, or you could on my O2 PAYG anyway...
[Galaxy S II General] Furbious:
Could do that with my unbranded/unlocked one too. +1 for home screen being quicker, even though my works EAS policy enforces a PIN
[Galaxy S II General] hshah:
The low call volume when using a wired headset has been fixed :)
[Galaxy S II General] dk206:
Yes, this is one of the first things I've tested out. Annoyed my mate just to do this. hahaha good update even just for that.
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
not really on topic but at least it would bump the thread up ;)

The default activesync email client is still having problems with HTML and rich format messages I am receiving, I kinda hoped they would fix this glaring thing first. :(
[Galaxy S II General] Menthix:
Really noob question, but... Where/how do you get the new firmware?

Just settings > about > update? That is either just showing a black screen or FCs atm, probably froze too much. Is there an alternative method (over USB)?
[Galaxy S II General] jangomango:
I think battery usage is better.. To early to say but android process is low.. Battery hasnt dropped for a long time.. Will see tommorow
[Galaxy S II General] Bart1981:
By using KIES on your computer (connect the phone through a usb cable to your computer and start KIES).

It will automaticly tell you when a update is availible. But properbly if you bought your phone in The Netherlands, is already had the newest firmware installed.
[Galaxy S II General] rocketpaul:
agreed, some how i have 67% battery after 12 hr. Before I had about 40%
[Galaxy S II General] Elythor:
I don't know if this is the right place to post my gripe...but Kies failed in updating my KDD phone to KE1 this morning. It was going through the download process (past 50%) when it said "dll failed". My phone was already in Download Mode and that freaked me out. I took out the battery and restarted the phone....thank god my phone wasn't bricked. It is still running with KDD firmware now and no problems detected so far.

Anyone had similar problems/solutions?
[Galaxy S II General] Arthur Hucksake:
Picked my handset up today, seems it already shipped with the new firmware.

Do these battery stats look "normal"? Getting a bit concered about all the talk regarding battery probs.

5h 3m on battery

Display 42%

Cell standby 15%

Android OS 14%

Zedge 10%

Android system 8%

Phone idle 5%
[Galaxy S II General] Leggenda:
Battery available in %?...
[Galaxy S II General] rocketpaul:
looks fine,whats ur battery %now? i think the problem arises when the android os usage is higher than the display usage.
[Galaxy S II General] Arthur Hucksake:
85% now, but I have already charged it upto 100% after running it down out of the box.

Usually takes me ages to setup Android phones, download apps etc
[Galaxy S II General] logey18:
Battery usage seems better not draining o/nite
[Galaxy S II General] chizzwhizz:
This might be just me

Did anyone experience a drop in audio clarity and sound quality when playing music through the headphones or external speaker with the new firmware update?
[Galaxy S II General] ammcfc:
I think display autobrightness levels are reduced.
[Galaxy S II General] rdy2go:
No
[Galaxy S II General] emorej:
i dont know if this is new but i just noticed it now since i bought and update the firmware.. Settings/display/screen display it has ability.. and some of the default wallpaper are gone..

Noticed that the wifi sharing item that comes up in the battery usage page has disappeared
[Galaxy S II General] LarcusMywood:
Not appearing on mine either.
[Galaxy S II General] turt:
Yeah me too, I guess they fixed a bug about the Wifi sharing: my battery life seems to be improved since yesterday :)

[Galaxy S II General] pigglett:
I had similar problems yesterdays update

I uninstalled kies and reinstalled

then clicked run as admin with on short cut

then plug phone in

also check your AV program

after that it all worked fine for todays update too
[Galaxy S II General] Arthur Hucksake:
See what you mean about this battery problem.

15hs of use now, checked it this morning having had it just sat there over night.

Display 29%

Android OS 26%

Cell Standby 19%

Phone idle 9%

Android system 7%

Really thought Android was past all this BS by now. Why is that Android OS% so high?
[Galaxy S II General] Leggenda:
Display 29%... in hours?
[Galaxy S II General] Beards:
Could someone please check the camera app for me.

First select 'Scene Mode' - None and take a shot.

Then, change the 'Scene Mode' to 'Night' and take a shot.

Did it alter the shot?

What I am finding with the firmware that comes with the phone is if you take a Night scene mode shot that first shot changes nothing.

You have to repeat and take another shot for the lens to alter the sensor to Night shot mode.

Hoping this has been cured in the firmware update.
[Galaxy S II General] Leggenda:
Seems that the bug of wifi sharing is back with the fw XWKE2...
[Galaxy S II General] Arthur Hucksake:
The newer firmware XWKE2 seems to have better battery behaviour.

I'm now getting a higher percentage for cell stand by.

42m on battery

Cell standby 36%

Display 32%

Android OS 23%
[Galaxy S II General] relikade:
I have 2 Galaxy S2's both simfree, as one was crashing and freezing etc i updated it, so far so good. But the other was fine but i thought i might aswell update it! Bad move!

It now reboots for no reason when charging

The notification bar has gone, a reboot brings it back until the screen goes off, then gone again.

Everynow and again i swipe the screen to unlock and its black, must reboot.

Tried "factory reset" in the menu, still no joy.

I had none of these features before i updated :mad:
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
Peeps, the emails WIDGET in Update 2 - I think it now shows new mails in bold font, while previously both new and read emails had same font and were hard to tell apart.

Am I right or was I hallucinating?

It sometimes does that in the original firmware. Just goes away.
