Well folks, I'm selling my Venue Pro. Dell isn't interested in supporting it and the devs are either not interested or not able to help us.

I will continue to update this thread, but I won't own another DVP until we have a dev.

HI, all.

I see that many ppl ready donate to get Android done on DVP, but any changes?

If all this is serious I'm ready invest 35$ for now.

dvp is yeaterday to me gave to my dad since it has large keys, all he needs is large keys and. live tile of the pele he call :) , now im in love with galaxy note.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] smnc:
Okay, so here is the thing.

The famous Dell Streak 5/7 developer D.J.Steve is willing to work on the DVP for us. Mostly he needs two things. First, he needs to find a way to flash it. So either we need to find a way to access a bootloader of some sort, or we need to send him a phone so he can try himself.

I figure if we all chip in just a few dollars, we can buy a DVP and send it to him. $250 would be enough to buy one second hand and ship it to him and I'm more than willing to do the legwork and drop $50 for this. So we need $200 from all of you. Anyone who is willing to help, please post here or p.m. me. I don't want anyone to send cash yet, I just want to know who is willing to help.

The alternative, of course, is that someone could volounteer to send their beloved DVP to Steve. This would not be without risk, which is why I suggested buying a phone for him first, but if anyone is willing to part with their phone, let me know.

C'mon guys, lets get this done!

i better jump in here just to say the above is accurate BUT and its a big but i am NOT promising its doable with or without a device, as im not certain how many changes dell/qisda(the odm of the venue/VP/streak5/streak7) have been forced to change to load wp7 on it, but the hardware seems very similar between venue and venue pro so that side shouldn be hard IF we can find a bootloader access
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] smnc:
Of course Steve, I think I can speak for everyone when I say your best effort means a lot to us.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] domineus:
just a shameless plug

take a look at the dvp development section

nosker has decompiled the wp7 rom and ffu

We don't know if the bootloader is open but it appears as such

it could be of help for the android dvp issue
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] smnc:
Yes, Steve did notice that :)

Sent like a Streak of Light from Spidey, my Dell Streak 5
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] domineus:
I think bootloader is open but we won't know til nosker releases his ffu tool so we can flash a modified and unlocked rom. If that works, it should be okay
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] smnc:
I'm really hoping that Microsoft relied too much on the OS to keep things locked down and that the bootloader will be wide open.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jakefans:
Can we get a tally on how much has been raised for the DVP/Android effort? I'm not sure whether to donate cash or my Dell. I'd hate to part with the Dell, but I'd love to see Steve take a crack at running Android.

Hello, is this project alive and going anywhere?

Any other slider qwerty android large screens coming?

I've only seen xt300 by motorola, nice but small lcd etc..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jaywillsoul:
I have a theory for the dual boot. I'm willing to give it a shot. I think the only real hard part about the dual boot is either making the android run as a stand alone or having it run simultaniously. I'm assuming simultainously would be easier so that the android rom could be changed whenever without much of an issue however that would mean... Ok, nevermind, a stand alone option would probably be a hell of a lot easier.

Any News, I know there is a bounty but anybody working on this? Or is someone just going to pop up wit a working version and claim the bounty, cummon get me excited so i dont ditch my Venue Pro its so elegant!!!!:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] HerrZorn:
No Updates for a while. We are at ~ 1155 $ if I count correctly... :D

A lot of Money for a Port. I love my DVP but i only use it for Youtube and Mails. I dont like WP7 and i need the keyboard :/
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rodrigo09:
i believe i found how to boot bootloader. if you pull out your battery for about a minute put back in press volume down camera button and power button. not responsible if you brick your phone
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] HerrZorn:
So, i guess that topic is dead? I think I will sell this Masterpiece of Hardware. I hate WP7.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] #G#:
apparently :(

Yep, no dev is into working on this port.

Great design (portrait keyb and decent size), low specs today (ram&cpu). I'd actually buy a qwerty phablet if it existed.
[General Questions and Answers] ShaneCroughan:
So I've noticed that there is a major difference in battery life from BAMF Remix 1.5 to 1.6 Ever since I installed 1.6.3 Remix My battery went back to stock battery suckiness lol. But this morning When I unplugged my phone from the charger, within 3 seconds it went from 100% to 73% and my phone was REALLY hot. I thought that the temperature might have been the reason but I'm not sure?

My phone was trapped under my blanket while charging, so this MIGHT be the case but this just seems wacky! The only thing I've tweaked in DASToolKit is the CPU settings which I've changed around a few times to try them out. It's currently set at 1.024 Max, 245 Min and Governer at "Ondemand" But I believe that's how it was set originally? Anyways, any ideas why it dropped so fast??
[EVO 4G General] iitreatedii:
before my top device comes out, better ones are coming out or at least rumored too...i understand technology but this is too fast for me, jeez at least let me buy one first before coming out with the next better thing...

http://mobile.engadget.com/2011/05/...orlds-first-1-5-ghz-dual-core-phone-tablet-i/

ps im talking processor speed btw
[EVO 4G General] DarkManX4lf:
No thanks. I'll pass on a pantech product.
[EVO 4G General] Digitalfoe:
Is computer hardware or phone tech moving faster
[EVO 4G General] phatmanxxl:
Im not sure what's worse, pantech or kyocera. I think pantech phones would be alright if the UI was better.
[EVO 4G General] Genjinaro:
Faster doesn't always = better.

Pantech & TFT kinda detracted from the wow factor too.

I oddly like the name "Vega Racer". Why? I'm scared to ask myself. :(
[EVO 4G General] crstfr:
they look like crappy iphones...IMO..:cool:
[EVO 4G General] iahk:
You need to stop looking at it that way and be happy by how fast the market is going. Would you prefer it if we're still sitting on 500MHz processors like in 2009?
[EVO 4G General] iitreatedii:
No no not at all, I hear your side too, it just that I would like to get my Evo 3d befirevits outdated by q better processor
[EVO 4G General] vbetts:
The evo 3d uses the same chipset.
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
I said this a couple of weeks ago. By the time the 3D comes out there will be 3 or 4 more phones with better specs set to drop a couple weeks/months later. Look at the Samsung phone that just leaked on Tmobile.. the Hercules.
[EVO 4G General] vbetts:
The cpu inside the Hercules is the same family as the dual core Snapdragon found in the Evo 3d.

It's not just hardware you have to look at, it's also software. I'm not a huge fan of Sense, but Sense is pretty smooth.
[EVO 4G General] fenixjn:
QFT*************.
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
Im guessing you missed the point.
[EVO 4G General] vbetts:
Your point was by the time the 3d is out, there will be faster devices out. You then referenced the Hercules, which will most likely have near same performance of the 3d, but probably borked support from Samsung.
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:
Interesting...but pantech? No thanks.

This epic reply brought to you by none other than my roxx'd out Evo.
[EVO 4G General] lakhanim87:
Correct me if I'm wrong, might be same family but isn't the 3d at 1.2 dual core?

And I totally get your point, I feel outdated just three months later. Same reason I'm holding off on a tablet...ipad is a perfect example, couple months after spending 600 or so my friend feels like an idiot just a few months later he's considering another 600 just cuz of the stupid camera...
[EVO 4G General] indagroove:
Get over it. Buy a phone you like, enjoy it, and get past the need for having the latest and greatest. Phone envy is a *****. Either that, or man up every 6 months and fork out the dough for the newest on the market. Technology will always be 2 steps ahead of you, that's just the way it is.
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
Truth.

Not sure this is exactly a new thing, across the board as a whole. Always something better around the corner. And what's there to be bothered about something being better than something you don't even own yet ... ? Whether or not it is 'entirely' better or 'marginally' better.

And talk about not wanting to buy a Samsung device ... but a Pantech?

[EVO 4G General] alexisprz:
Yup the evo 3d is undervolted to 1.2 ghz for minimum battery drain but will be overclocked soon enough, just look at the g2 overclock threads to see the potential qualcomm chips have.

After a year with my evo, I believe I can easily wait until next year to upgrade since every phone coming out has specs bumps and nothing else . Just because a better spec laptop comes out doesn't mean to run out and get it.

It will be hard but I'm sure ill hold off on the evo 3d and get the next gen evo next july.
[EVO 4G General] Android 17:
What's the point of this thread? The EVO3D has a better screen, higher resolution, and although the clock speed is 1.2 gigahertz, it will easily be able to overclock significantly higher.

The G2, as someone else mentioned, has been overclocked up to 2 gigahertz. A G2, which has an older chipset and has a stock speed of merely 800 MHz.
[EVO 4G General] Thattallbastard:
I agree. I'll prob just stick with my EVO 4g for the full 2 years and hope the devs here stick around and keep making ROMs. No telling what will be out by the time I'm due for an upgrade.
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
The 'point' being 'better tech' is always around the corner. Whether or not the step being made is greater than the one before, this will always be the case. So, sure, point for a thread ... no. Especially in this age will this be more the case than in times past ... guess she was wanting to add her thread count to the first page. It really isn't surprising that between two phones / devices yet to be released, whether the difference be that - erm - drastically different, to be making one option moot. The one provided to them should they stay on course ... of course.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ralphsancho:
hey guys I'm thinking of getting a galaxy tab off contract, mostly to use it on wifi but I would like the 3g version just in case

my question is, is the sim card in the t-mobile version the same as phones? As in can I pop out my phone's sim pop it in to the tab and start browsing off my phone's data plan?

and would you recommend the tab over all over tablets considering the prices off contract?

thank you in advance
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesbryant:
No. You can't just swap cards. Your imei will redirect you to Tmobile website.

YOu could search for "efs folder". That might help.
[Gen8 Android Development] Lenn:
Hey,

First of all some basic stuff:

We've got a United Usb Win7 Touchscreen

Until now( :D ) the biggest problem about porting new Roms to our Devices was the fact that nobody know how to port the Drivers for severall android/linux kernels

But i've found this site:

http://lii-enac.fr/en/architecture/linux-input/multitouch-android-howto.html

That sounds good to me!:)

On this site theres an how-to add support for android!(for other kernels and roms)

but i'm a noob at kernel so anyone could please have a look at this?

If this is really gona work, we're able to put some good Roms on our Tablets (for example Honeycomb,Gingerbread or Ice Cream Sandwich:))

I've posted this at Urukdroid Developement thread but nobody answered:(

I hope, some guy who knows a lot about kernel look at this and report here!

Greetz,

Lenn

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] decoyrock:
So I know there might be a few threads out there about this but saw that the suggestions from them did not help me. I've started to have issues with downloading anything from the Market. I'd try to dl an app and then it would say download unsuccessful pretty much right away.

I tried clearing cache from the market, factory resetting, permissions, and a few other alternatives. But I tried sending an app from the android market from a computer browser and though it took forever, it downloaded on my phone after about 5-10 minutes. I can't seem to dl directly from my phone.

I also tried signing in with another google account after factory resetting and I seem to be able to dl perfectly from the market. So I assume that it is something to do with my main google account but don't know how to fix the issue since there are no options or settings to reset or fix the problem. Anyone have any ideas?

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeff7790:
Hello there today my phone stop working all i did was remove the battery and remove the sim card to put a new one in. When i put it back on and turn on the phone, the phone vibrates for three times and the charging led starts blinking ,also the screen is black. I cant even get into bootloader mode anyone knows a fix. I was running Ossymod MIUI and have an engineer boot loader.

Did i mention that this happened because i pull the battery out while phone was on this could be what f*ck it up.

Problem

Phones off --> Hit the on button---> Three Vibrates with black Screen ----> Orange LED Blinking.

Things i tried

Try to get into Fast boot but i only get a black screen with a Green Led while connected to the pc, Device manager detects my mytouch as a "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM".

At least he tried? To the OP, sounds to me like your battery was probably almost dead before you took it out. Try charging it before you try turning it on again...

battery had 50 percent im trying to get it on fastboot by holding the power and volume down while connected to the pc but all i get is a black screen and in my pc it shows "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM" could this have been cause ,by pulling the battery while the phone was on.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmdmilitia13:

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G8351427:
I cannot figure out how you got to this point, but I think you have a bad radio.

That Qualcomm MSM device is something that I think happens only with the engineering bootloader installed. I believe it could provide a way to access the radio directly, but I have never seen any info on how to do that.

I mistakenly flashed the wrong data to the radio partition while I was trying to reset to factory and since I had the engineering bootloader, I got the same results as you. As a result, mine was effectively bricked and I had to return it to T-mobile like that. This was a couple of months ago and I have not heard anything about it.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeff7790:
Ever since I've had this phone i never try to flash radios or beta test radios i always kept it stock . The only thing i flash were Roms and yes i have a engineering bootloader.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TmobileDash12:
This happened to me before. I had a full charge and turned off the phone, pulled out the battery, and put it back in. Tried turning it on, it wouldn't. Plugged it in the charger, had the blinking light. I simply googled "amber blinking led mytouch 4g" or something like that. It happens when the phone thinks the battery is really low. So just leave it off, plug in your charger and wait.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeff7790:
ill try that
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G8351427:
I am pretty sure that if the radio is bad it will not charge. So if you can charge, then you do not have a bad radio.

I found this thread for the same issue on an HD2. They say a JTAG is required to fix a bad flash on an HD2; may be the same on a Glacier, I don't know.

I am fairly certain that this Qualcomm MSM is the radio itself and if you had the right drivers you could send it commands, though flashing the emmc may not be possible from there.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeff7790:
the device does charge no blinking at all so it might not be a radio ,funny thing this happened without me flashing anything.

Edit: i though it was charging but then 5 minutes later i see a green LED on ,i think the phone turn on while it was charging not sure.

Edit2: Yeah its not charging i plug the phone then it just turns on to a black screen
