I edited the build.prop and it works great but I lost Swype
[Droid X General] letterboxdreams:
I'm running .591 LibertyGB V.5 and I'm getting the black screen as well. Kinda odd it's working for some and not all. There's gotta be a common denominator that is causing it to work. It seems most are running GB and on Flash 10.3. I have installed, deleted, reinstalled... Rebooted.... Doesn't seem to want to work. Is there anyway to strip the build.prop from a working device to try and mimic what could be what's blocking it?
[Droid X General] djdominus:
All of the people saying it's working have .595 from what I have seen.
[Droid X General] wryun:
I own an EVO4G (an Netflix is working great!), but my friend has a Droid X and was asking for my help getting Netflix to work on his DX. I have my EVO4G rooted and all, and assumed it would be just as easy to root a DX ... boy was I wrong! It seems like a whole different realm with the DX.

From what I have observed, people with .595 on their DX's can get the Netflix app to work. Are those of you with .595 rooted, or is .595 the latest official Android release for your phones?

If not, how the heck to we get my friend's phone to .595?

Thanks!
[Droid X General] luciphet:
I thought the same thing. I was waiting to upgrade my X from 591 with the official release, but I had check that theory. Netflix works fine for me after upgrading to 595. Looks like froyo gets "device not supported" and gingerbread builds below 595 get black screen.
[Droid X General] zenboy:
I was on .340 a few hours ago and tried it, it didn't work. I followed the P3 method to update from Froyo to Gingerbread which at the moment has me on GB version .573. I'm too tired to figure out how to get to .588 or .59* at the moment--but for the record, Netflix is working on my GB .573
[Droid X General] baretoes:
Seems to be working fine for me. Watching "Dumb and Dumber" from a search I did within the app. I'm currently not rooted with GB .595. I hope I can get the OTA update tomorrow as mentioned in many forums.
[Droid X General] silversonic1:
I'm also using 595. Watching Doctor Who on the Droid X and loving every moment.
[Droid X General] blackarsenic:
How o you get 595 and above
[Droid X General] SpinningHook:
I had it working on 4.5.595 stock last night, but so far today, all it's been doing is attempting to load and then showing a blank white screen. Not sure what is causing it to do so.

update: Nevermind. I got it to work again after a reinstall.
[Droid X General] Mr_Alexander:
I have it running on my DX(v595) as well. Streams AWESOMELY...even over 3G. As a bonus I opted to download RealHDMI v1.9.2 from the Market and now I'm looking at IRONMAN: Extremis over wifi on my 55" Sony BRAVIA HDTV!

DROID DOES, BABY!!! :D
[Droid X General] crazyjoejoe:
Is anyone running liberty 1.5 and netflix?
[Droid X General] Guitar4Him:
Works great on my Droid X....Wifi or 3G. I'm running Froyo and rooted.
[Droid X General] ryman222:
Netflix

Yay, can't wait to get my movie on :D
[Droid X General] djsupersoak:
How? Did you edit something? I too am running Froyo rooted and I consistently get a 'device not supported' message. Then it loads to a white screen.
[Droid X General] milski65:
Dj, I'm same as guitar. Rooted froyo. Nothing else. Loaded immediately. Did you get the 10.3 flash update? Not sure if that made a difference but I've seen it mentioned more than once.
[Droid X General] marvelous7325:
it won't even let me log in and im typing the correct email and password. i'll probably find a fix for this in a few.
[Droid X General] kvnbrkbl:
It worked on my evo the first day I got the app but now no luck.
[Droid X General] djsupersoak:
Yeah I got the flash update and everything. Perhaps our roots are different somehow? What did you root yours with?
[Droid X General] milski65:
dj, have z4. Everyting runs great on phone. Gonna try the HDMI app for x users to see if it will run on my aquos. There also seems to be quite a few variations of netflix to try. Maybe I just got lucky with picking the right one first. Did you have usb debug and unknown sources checked in settings?
[Droid X General] djsupersoak:
I used z4 also. I have debugging and unknown sources. Maybe I installed a different variation. Where did you get your .apk?
[Droid X General] Nate2:
I used the "device check disabled" version from the link below on my DroidX, and it worked fine.

Nate2 thank you <3 I tried the drive check disabled version and it runs fine. Droid X Froyo. Rooted.
[Droid X General] ScratchyPDX:
Thanks, Nate. I also found the the "device check disabled" APK work on my Droid X. I am running stock OS (Froyo unrooted).
[Droid X General] BBJohnnyT:
Confirmed this works on my Droid X (2.2 OTA, rooted). I first tried the netflix-mod-2.apk and that would not stream. Uninstalled and installed the "device check disabled" version. :) :) :)
[Droid X General] MHatter469:
I tried it on my DX works fine on WiFi and 3G. Rooted. Running standard FroYo 2.3.340.

Of course used the device check disabled verson.
[Droid X General] Nate2:
Has anyone tried the "device check disabled" version on a DroidX with the leaked GB and gotten it to work? I don't plan on installing the leaked GB, but OTA GB is just around the corner and I don't want my Netflix to quit working after the update.
[Droid X General] luredale:
Works great on my DX running Froyo..not rooted
[Droid X General] jumphour:
Works great on my DX!!!

Using the "device check disabled" version too. I'm running Liberty 2.1.3. I can play movies/shows in my queue, titles I look up by name, on wifi, on 3g.....everything I've tried is great. Man, this is exciting!

Now I can cancel PlayOn, which never really worked great for me anyways. I couldn't play tv shows from Netflix, just the movies in my queue.
[Droid X General] GolfnWrx:
Same here, running .595 leak and running Netflix perfectly....well nearly so...I need to restart my WiFi before I browse or I get a note about check the clock because I've been off of the 3g network too long...otherwise I've been streaming movies to my phone without errors.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Waza_Be:
Hello all,

I have to admit that I think that my xoom can go back to its package and direct to the trashbag..

(Wifi xoom bought in US)

I flashed a lot of devices in the past (Hero, Desire, Galaxy S, Nexus S) and the xoom seem to be the first victim of flashing madness.

I just followed this tutorial: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=968342

1. Download the Motorola Xoom Root Zip file and unzip it. Download

2. Place the files in the SDK Tools folder.

3. adb reboot bootloader (You can skip the next 3 steps if you’ve unlocked with fastboot previously)

5. fastboot oem unlock (wait for reboot)

6. adb reboot bootloader

7. fastboot flash boot rootboot.img

7. fastboot reboot (wait for reboot)

and I am now wtuck at the reboot.

I get always the Motorola logo without any access to fastboot...

I would like to know if other users got this issue and if I can help other users by avoiding this tutorial!

Thank a lot for any help/feedback.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slack04:
Out of curiousity, why did you follow that old guide? The last post on there (beside yours) is from over 2 weeks ago. There are much newer threads...

But regardless, that sucks. I hope you get it working again.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ydaraishy:
Well, you did something wrong; it's hardly the device's fault.

And I thought you said you didn't have "access to fastboot"? If you can get to fastboot, you can always recover in some form or fashion.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kcarpenter:
Only way you could have messed it up with those steps is if the boot img was for the wrong model or corrupt. I didnt check the link supplied, but a lot of devs provide an MD5 checksum for this very reason. I compare MD5s for everything that supplies one, just in case.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stbbrat:
You used the "boot" image for the 3g version.

Wi-fi rooting steps don't use rootboot fyi.
[Streak 5 Accessories] slaydog:
Hey all,

Here are some pics of the new 2400mAh battery I got off eBay for $33 USD. Pretty sweet so far. Ran down to 1% battery after about 24 hrs, then ran another 18 hrs. I'm currently trying the "Battery Left" app to properly guage its life, as the built in monitor of the Streak allways thinks its the regular battery...

Its not the biggest extended battery for the Streak, but now I have it, and the original battery too, so I should be prepaired for any eventuallity.

Also the stand is pretty darn cool too. The whole thing makes is about twice as thick, tho. Not a problem for me, as I wear scrub pants to work with real loose pockets. Have not tried it with jeans yet...

My next move is to alter my Otterbox case to fit...

Here is the link:http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180649529643&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

Came from Singapore...
[Streak 5 Accessories] Alexanderbooth:
thanks for the photos, was thinking about getting this, but it looks to be about the same size as the mugen 4800 battery, and thats twice as powerful again. Think I'd sooner have that with it being the same size. I do like the stand though very nice idea.
[Streak 5 Accessories] slaydog:
I think the Mugen is twice the capacity , but about 4x the price. This was only $33. You could get several... plus, I figure I still have the stock battery so when this one dies I can pop that one in and get another good day of use...
[Streak 5 Accessories] Alexanderbooth:
yeah i'm just not one for carrying other batteries around, I just want one thats in all the time, to behonest I'm happy with the battery you get with, its lasts well over a day. yeah i know its a lot more expensive but probably get a week out of it which is amazing!!
[Streak 5 Accessories] slaydog:
A week would be awesome, but I get nervous if I don't charge it every night anyway...
[Streak 5 Accessories] Final5k:
hey slaydog, please keep us informed about how many hours does the battery last. Maybe you can run some test to see if it holds its charge (like playing musics/video or browsing the net)?

Is the stand solid or fragile? Do you feel the streak more heavy with the battery on and most importantly, does the battery get warm a lot?
[Streak 5 Accessories] slaydog:
Just an update. New battery is working great! I still charge it every night, but I never worry about how much I use it during the day. I stream Sirius, play Podcasts, surf the web, YouTube etc... the stock battery meter sometimes shows the phone dead around noon, while my new battery meter when I plug it in at night still shows 60-75%

Does not get hot or make the streak feel heavier. It is bigger, though. I cut my Otterbox case to fit the new back and use the stand, so it looks like a tank! But the new cover is only a little thicker than the back of the case. Stand looks good and works good too. Very sturdy.

Using an app called Battery Monitor free, that shows actual batter %, the Battery Left app did not.

Anyway, certainly no regrets for $33!
[Streak 5 Accessories] Rico ANDROID:
Can you get this on Amazon?
[Streak 5 Accessories] slaydog:
Not sure, I got it from eBay at the link in the first post...

Sent from my Dell Streak running StreakDroid 1.9.0 with XDA Premium app.

[Streak 5 Accessories] marvin02:
Have you tried wiping the battery stats using StreakMod Recovery. It is on the advanced menu - pic here.

Also Battery Left has to be 'trained' by fully charging and then fully discharging the battery. It does show the % left and the time left. More info here. Developer FAQ

Thanks for the pics of the battery and the link.

how does it even fit? mine came without any hooks of any kind it cannot attach at all. are the uk and us streaks different?
[Streak 5 Accessories] fards:
Mine arrived this morning from superetrader (via ebay)

didn't realise it was a cameron sinai battery, had some real issues with those in the past, if I'd known I wouldn't have ordered it...

But I'll test it for a few days and see how I get on.
[Streak 5 Accessories] kirkdis:
Does this battery or the mugen 4800 still fit in the av dock?
[Streak 5 Accessories] fards:
the powermonitor in the EMlist reports this as 1446 capacity which is wrong,

I charged it with the streak off then wiped battery stats

its currently on 57% after 25 hours..

cover is pretty easy to dislodge (As its easy to grab), easily fixed in the 1.xx streakdroid roms as they disable the forced shutdown if that happens.

back does make a nice shape to hold.

so far not bad
[Streak 5 Accessories] slaydog:
First thing I tried was resetting battery stats. Don't know what that does, but didn't seem to make a difference. I properly did the training for Battery Left, I even adjusted the battery capacity setting, but the numbers given still only varied slightly from Android's.

Still loving it, BTW...
[Streak 5 Accessories] marvin02:
Anyone got an update?

If you bought this battery I have some follow up questions.

1) Are you still using it?

2) Are you using it as a spare or your everyday battery?

4) How accurate is the battery meter on the phone when using this?

3) What are the pluses?

4) What are the minuses?

5) Is the cover part of the battery or a separate piece?

6) Any problems with the cover coming loose?

7) have you modified a case/cover for your Streak to use with this? If so, which one?

Thanks for the feedback.
[Streak 5 Accessories] fards:
I use mine maybe once a week,

used it quite a lot while in netherlands, battery life is definitely better than stock one.

cover hasnt come undone by itself, and now I hold it properly its ok

battery levels appears to be down to the method of calculation that wont account for extended batteries, so 100% is 1500 mah or so no matter what, I've found the battery drops to 1% then keeps going for quite a while
[Streak 5 Accessories] slaydog:
If you bought this battery I have some follow up questions.

1) Are you still using it?

Yes, still use it every day that I work.

2) Are you using it as a spare or your everyday battery?

I use it at least 5 days a week because when I work I don't want to think about my phone running out of juice ever. I also tend to keep it on on the weekends. But if I think about it, I may switch to the smaller one so it fits in my jeans more comfortably. And also so it looks cooler for friends and family :-) I keep the original battery in my car as a spare...

4) How accurate is the battery meter on the phone when using this?

Not much at all. Just counts down to 1 and stays there. I use another app to measure the battery % called Battery Monitor Free that is just voltage based. So as the voltage drops it shows a calculated percentage. Frankly, not sure how accurate that is either. It's usually at about 60% by the end of the day, and doesn't seem to get too much lower, even after 2 days, if I forget to charge it. Seeing when the stock meter hits 1% though always makes me appreciate the battery even more. I have had the battery warning pop up at like 10 o'clock in the morning with a full day of usage still ahead of me...

3) What are the pluses?

Pluses are that I give exactly zero thought to my phone running dead, even when nowhere near a charger and not sure when I will be. I used to run Juice Defender and have it set to only check data 1 minute of every 15 etc, but now I keep everything enabled. Full eye candy and full functionality. And I listen to streaming radio or podcasts via Bluetooth A2DP all day while I drive.

The only battery saving thing I do is to have Tasker check to see if my wifi is near every time I switch on the screen, and if not, just turn it off...

4) What are the minuses?

Just the size, I suppose. As you can see from the pics in post #1, it makes it about twice as thick in the center of the back. But really doesn't bother me. And of course its a bit heavier, but its not like my arms are gonna get sore holding it or any thing...

5) Is the cover part of the battery or a separate piece?

It is separate.

6) Any problems with the cover coming loose?

None so far, but I did modify my Otterbox Commuter case to fit around it, so it can't really slide around anyway. The cover kinda SNAPS into place, though, and fits tightly.

7) have you modified a case/cover for your Streak to use with this? If so, which one?

See above... I will post some pics when I get a chance, maybe tomorrow. It could have been done a little prettier, but it gets the job done, and it's just the back of the phone. If I had another Otterbox case and the right tools, it would be easy to make it look perfect...

Thanks for the feedback.

No problem. BTW, I just got your avatar, paranoid ANDROID! I'm smart like that.

I miss Douglas Adams...
[Streak 5 Accessories] marvin02:
Thanks - I would really like to see pics of your modified case. Did you modify just the rubber internal piece or both pieces? If both pieces - how much does the battery stick out past the commuter case?

Do you find the stand useful?

This battery widget may be useful with the extended battery. It will even keep stats for both the extended and stock battery (may need the paid version for that).
[Streak 5 Accessories] fards:
with this one https://market.android.com/details?id=ccc71.bmw&feature=related_apps

you can manually set the capacity of the battery so it should be a load more accurate.
[Streak 5 Accessories] tone007:
I bought this battery less than a month ago and it was working great (36 hours per charge or so) until it suddenly won't report a charge above 0% and therefore the phone won't turn on (reports 0% battery whenever I try, even after letting it charge for hours.)

Back to the original one!
[Streak 5 Accessories] Nomgle:
Try plugging it into your PC - it should start charging OK.

Leave it charging for a few minutes, and then switch the phone on. You can now transfer back to the mains charger without problem.

You may find you have to do this everytime you let the battery run to 0%
[Streak 5 Accessories] tone007:
Ooo. That did it.

Thanks!
[Streak 5 Accessories] slaydog:
Good to know! Thanks.
[Streak 5 Accessories] vanemburghj:
Based on everyone's input, just bought one, hopefully will have my 5" goodness running more than 6 straight hours in the very near future. Need 8 hours in order to survive the 8 hour mind numbing madness my wife makes me do on Saturday and Sunday's. Honestly think pissing into a fan would be more enjoyable (or having my Streak operational for the whole time).:D
[Streak 5 Accessories] jitin02:
Wat exactly is diffrnce btween 2400mah n 4800 mah battery .

Is there differnce in size or its just perfrmance?
[Streak 5 Accessories] Nomgle:
No probs :D

As long as you put your phone on charge before the battery reaches 0%, you shouldn't see that problem again !
[Streak 5 Accessories] slaydog:
The 4800 battery is much larger, but the way its designed spreads it out over the whole back of the Streak, so it doesn't make it any thicker. I think it's still priced at well over $100. The best difference is that it could possibly last twice as long as the 2400 battery.
[Streak 5 Accessories] jitin02:
one more question, i know its not related with this thread but........

is outterbox worth buying(if we keep the fact of safety aside and look at looks or will u prefer skins like this one below link. )

http://www.istyles.com/abolisher-dell-streak-skin-p-45916.html

I am confused,
[Streak 5 Accessories] fards:
after lots of experimenting it appears mine is using the "good old" two cell approach typical of CS batteries.

battery app (even the one with the manual max power setting) reports its from 100% down to 0

reboot and its back to 45% battery..

so its not reporting both cells together, not sure if thats an issue with gingerbread build or the battery, as I've seen same situation on other devices I suspect the battery .

still not bad for the price, getting 18hrs "normally" and another 10 on the second cell from it
[Streak 5 Accessories] slaydog:
I have tried both of the battery apps listed in this thread with no luck. Even with changing the mah in settings, attempting to calibrate etc, they still appear to roughly mirror the stock battery %.

Fards, did you get thesame extended battery as me, with the stand?
[Streak 5 Accessories] fards:
yup same one.. as I said with the battery calibration stuff, it appears that its using two cells, without the circuitry to combine the cells to make it appear to be one big one on the streak.

so let it run down then reset the streak and it should pop back up to 45% or so
[Streak 5 Accessories] slaydog:
As soon as I read your post, I looked up and sure enough, 45%! And I got the battery low warning hours ago. So when it gets to zero again do you think its accurate?
[Streak 5 Accessories] Roomme13:
What about this and mugen 1800mah.? I want to buy extend battery for my streak 5 cause the stock one drained so fast.. Only 2hours till 15%..

Sorry for bad english :D[YOUTUBE][/YOUTUBE]
[Streak 5 Accessories] over2land:
I'm still hoping to see pictures of it with the otterbox case...
[Streak 5 Accessories] shEEEsh:
I bought the 4800 from Mugen when I first purchased my Streak. I would get about 4 days use out of it before getting a "low battery" warning. This was with Android 1.3. AS SOON AS THE UPGRADE CAME OUT I started having problems. Mugen couldn't get whatever info they needed from Dell for a fix and Dell didn't care enough to fix their software. (surprise, surprise.)

The only thing to do says Mugen is shut down - remove the battery - restart. Within a few days the battery back plastic clips started getting weak and wobbly. Finally one came off. The back needs to be FIRMLY IN PLACE for the Streak to be on. Mugen sent me 2 new back covers. Already one of the covers has lost a clip. Thinking about purchasing the smaller battery from Mugen if I can use the original METAL back. Mugens CHEAP plastic battery cover is horrible. The clips breaking is ALWAYS going to be a problem.

The people never complain about the "low battery" warning in another thread. Wondering if they have a different battery than I do.
[Streak 5 Accessories] shEEEsh:
ALMOST FORGOT. There is a company on eBay that sells leather cases. They are in China. Can't remember the name but they made my case for the EXTENDED battery. It is a very nice quality case. It closes with a snap or magnet. I forget right now because I put a skin on mine and then just drop it in my purse.
[Streak 5 Accessories] guesirwowghr:
Yes ma'am, there are plenty of cases for the Dell Streak 5...But for it with the extended battery?...No ma'am. I've looked all around. Even contacted Mugen about it. My questions was 'Are you going to make any cases to fit these extended batteries?'....Their response pissed me off, and made me facepalm...'We don't have the technology to make them'...They have the technology to make these badass batteries...But not a plastic case?!? Lol...Then I asked if they could get ahold of OtterBox to do so...I got no response to that one.
