Microsoft just doesn't think it is their place to determine what is and what is not a useful app, and I'd tend to agree. It is an easy way to put yourself under fire if you start to remove applications for some subjective reasons.

What they have done is place a limit, so that any "spam" apps won't prevent "legitimate" apps from showing up on the new list and make them harder for users to discover.
[Atrix 4G General] MdX MaxX:
I've been browsing the forums and I've seen lots of threads pop up about problems with firmware version 4.1.83, such as slow data speeds, GPS errors, poor signal, etc. Does this update really screw with the phone's radio? My Atrix should be coming in on Friday; should I hold off on the 4.1.83 update (if it doesn't ship with it)?
[Atrix 4G General] goscrewsir:
I've had no issues with the update. There are a lot of improvements, especially the upload speed. I'd say update.

Is Droid Charge known to have poor 3G performance?

4G is fast, 5-10Mbps, but in neigboring 3G area it's much slower than my Motorola Droid (130-150Kbps, compared to 1Mbps) was.

While Moto is known to have really good 3G radios, sounds more like you're running on 1X and not 3G...

I believe your realized speed is a direct reflection of the signal quality. I have a Droid Charge sitting next to the Motorola Droid 2 Global. The Charge has a two bar signal while the Droid2 Global has 4 bars. Guess which one is faster with the 3G download? Answer: The Motorola

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emcp422:
if im thinking of the right image, it means you dont have a recovery, try getting a PC36IMG.zip of amon ra recovery and put it in the root of sd card(you will probably need an sd card reader to do this with out your phone), then press power + volume down to power phone into bootloader, it will automatically recognize the zip and ask you to install hit yes.

[HTC Desire S] youagain:
Hi everyone,

This may be a rather unusual request. Well I seem to think so but here I am making it.

I recently formatted the SD card for my younger brothers Desire S as he was having troubles with moving apps to the sd card. Now that I have resolved that my brother tells me that he actually liked the default tracks included on the SD card and wants them. I didn't realise they were there and didn't expect them to be gone when I did the format. I backed everything else other than that.

Would it be possible for someone to share details or if possible (preferably) if they could perhaps upload them?

GingerBreak 1.2 - Easy way to root your streak read on

I have a t-mobile dell streak 7 and I read the forums for days about rooting with SuperOneClick and a couple of outdated ways which would simply not work for me. I tried it with various versions of SuperOneClick from 1.55 up to 1.9 with no luck. Since I am on a Macintosh this further complicated things. I tried doing it with SuperOneClick in VMWare with no luck and then I used an actual Windows XP 32bit PC with no hope. I am not sure if the solution below will work on ATT, Rogers, WiFi or other dell streaks but it worked for me on my tmobile streak

Gingerbreak worked wonders and is by far the easiest way to root the dell streak 7. Its a simple android app which you download and install and then launch and click the root button.

As always you should read up on the forums first about this device. I am no expert and most people were able to get SuperOneClick to work by the looks of things. Remember by rooting your tablet you are voiding your warranty and you could easily damage your device.

Unrelated to rooting one of the LED backlights in my screen has recently broken and so I am having to unroot mine in order to send it back to dell for repairs. Just keep this in mind before you jump into doing it. I imagine if I sent them my streak in its current state they would not fix it. I will post the steps I performed to un-root later.

STEPS TO ROOT DIRECTLY FROM DELL STREAK 7:

Go to market and search for "Download All Files" and install the program

Install a file manager like "File Expert" - so you can extract the zip file once its downloaded

Go to Settings then Applications and check the box "Unknown sources"

Open xda-developers.com and search for Gingerbreak - at this time the top result will give you the main page for Gingerbreak with various versions

Download version 1.2 by clicking on it: GingerBreak_exploit_source_from_APKv1.2.zip (14.9 KB, 3542 views)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1044765

Once its downloaded launch FileExpert

Browse to your downloads folder

Click on the Gingerbreak zip file and extract it

Now you will have a package you can install by clicking on it (.pkg)

Gingerbreak will show up in your apps, launch it.

In the app all you have to do is click the Root button

Once its done it should reboot automatically

Simply install Clockworks Rom Manager from the Market and you are ready to try new roms from the main xda dev page for streak 7 here: http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Dell_Streak_7

NOTE: I have heard mixed reactions on what version of Rom Manager CWM to use. Some people say that only certain version work and others say that you can use the current version. I had no troubles with the latest version 4.3.0.1. I have not looked at the development fork so I have no idea. When I tried one method of unrooting I ran into a CWM Loop but I am 99% sure that it was my fault, not CWM's.
[Dell Streak 7] fatannasty:

Easiest way to unroot Dell Streak 7

This is the easiest way to unroot the dell streak 7 that I could find. Keep in mind you will loose your data doing it this way.

I tired another unrooting method and ended up stuck in CWM loop. In other words I could not get to fastboot. I could not get to the stock recovery. I would turn on my device and ended up in Clockwork Mod Recovery menu each time. It was as if I had deleted the normal recovery menu.

I also had a hard time getting into the APX mode to install the driver. After carefully reading the instructions I noticed how easily it was to accomplish this. You simply unplug the USB from your computer first then hold down volume up and down at the same time as pressing and holding power button. Its hard to tell its in APX mode. THe navigation buttons will be lit up but the screen will be dark still. Then plug the usb back into your computer and it will detect it as an APX device.

It does take a little while to download all the files but you only need p2.img through p14.img GOOD LUCK!

Here is the guide.

[Dell Streak 7] Tom2112:
What version of Android were you running on your Streak 7 when you used GingerBreak?
[Dell Streak 7] Z4nd4r:
I was using 2.2.2.
[Dell Streak 7] AMBernstein:
Thanks It worked perfect!
[Dell Streak 7] Tom2112:
Hmmm... a little confused... maybe it's just late... maybe I'm having a blonde moment...

Anyway, the file you said to download did not have a .pkg in it. But in that thread there was an .apk file to download. Which I did, and I installed it. (No unzipping required)

After I installed it, I put my S7 into usb debugging mode, and ran GingerBreak. It appears to have rooted the device. I tried SetCPU after and it worked as Superuser (root).

But when I installed ClockworkMod, it doesn't reboot into recovery mode. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!
[Dell Streak 7] Z4nd4r:
Boot into recovery by holding power and volume +. Choose the second option (I believe it's "install update.zip"). This will boot you into Clockwork Recovery.
[Dell Streak 7] Tom2112:
Thanks Zandar!

One more question: I'm used to the way Clockwork Recovery works on my phone (Droid Eris with CyanogenMod 7 on it). On my phone, I go into Rom Manager and select an option (such as Backup current ROM) the app reboots into Clockwork Recovery.

The way my Streak works now, no matter what I select in ROM Manager, I have to reboot the Streak manually, hold the volume up and power to get it to go into Clockwork Recovery, and then manually do whatever I need to do in Clockwork Recovery.

The question is: Is that how it is supposed to work, or did I screw something up?
[Dell Streak 7] Z4nd4r:
ROM Manager is only good for flashing Clockwork on the Streak 7. All of the other functions don't work.

Yaaaay...finally an easy way to root the dell streak 7 --gingerbreak saves the day!!!

Re: Easy way to root dell streak 7 android os 2.2

thank you soooooo much!!! This took 2 minutes and worked...i tried all of the versions of super1click with no results (actually i almost bricked the tablet once with it...good thing there's a reset pin hole next to the sd card).

At any rate, muchas gracias!!!!

[Dell Streak 7] DBPC:
No matter what I did with superoneclick I could not get it to work with 2.2.2, this worked like an absolute charm. Thanks'd!
[Dell Streak 7] pikacane:
Okay, I have a new wifi-only S7, and I can't get it to root for anything. Gingerbreak just sits on the "Rooting... running exploit... This may take a few minutes! Device will reboot on success!" screen; I've left it for upwards of 45 minutes several times. I've tried two different SD cards, and, per one thread that said that the pre-installed card is treated like an external and so you don't need a separate card, right now it's running without a second SD card.

I tried SuperOneClick, and it hung on step 6 the first couple tries, then wouldn't even go that far (I was rebooting and/or unplugging between tries) before giving me a popup asking if it had 2.0 or above and then giving me this message:

startIndex cannot be larger than length of string.

Parameter name: startIndex

FAILED

Usually right below a line about checking the manufacturer.

What the heck am I doing wrong here? How do you mess up "install and hit run" or "click 'root'"? And is there a manual method I'm just missing somewhere? I've always found those more effective, and usually easier than trying to deglitch a one-click...
[Dell Streak 7] epeereboom:
When using Gingerbreak, do you have usb debugging on?
[Dell Streak 7] pikacane:
Yup. I'm starting to wonder if something's a tad wonky with this one, though. If I take out the SD card, the computer doesn't always see the tab at all, and if it does it's only in Device Manager. I'm going to try my other laptop to see if it's related (I normally use this one since it's 32bit and there seem to be more glitches with 64bit).
[Dell Streak 7] pikacane:
Fastboot hangs at "waiting for device." SuperOneClick doesn't work on the other computer either. Same error message. ADB sees it. I am confused and getting very, very annoyed here...
[Dell Streak 7] epeereboom:
I did read somewhere that the apk should be on the device and not the sd card. Also that the sd card should be formatted. I don't know if you had read the same. Just something to look at.
[Dell Streak 7] pikacane:
I had seen that, and that was the setup, but thank you for helping. I think it was either a connection or driver issue, although I'm pretty sure I had all the drivers installed properly. Wound up trying HoneyStreak, and that took :-) Wanted to put TiBu on first, and to have a fully functional ROM, but I'll take no GPS over no root!
[Dell Streak 7] epeereboom:
Glad that worked for you. That was going to be my next suggestion.
[Dell Streak 7] ThinkSmall:
Thanks worked fine.

This seems like a newbie question maybe.

For the last 2 phones I've just been the type of person that says "Ooo a Kernel? Sounds cool looks cool, OMG my phone runs l33t with it"

But I wasn't one of the first adopters of a phone like the Charge.

So I'd like someone who knows to please explain to me what all the kernel dictates when it comes to the phone.

Thanks!

It controls everything. Kernel is bridge between software and hardware.
[Verizon Droid Charge] RaptorMD:
Thanks, this was good to know. One other question, how do we restore the kernel back to the original one shipped with the phone? Do we just (first disable Voodoo) and use the Rooted ED1 Downgrade from ED2?

Yeah, I don't think anyone has posted a stock kernel zip or ODIN file for just the kernel yet. So that would be your only option so far.

Samsung galaxy s 2. Works with a T&t's 3g bands, but costs a hell lot. The price to pay for the best phone you can get at this time.

Been released in Europe a couple of weeks ago.

I am also doubting between the Sensation and the S2.

I saw some 720P and 1080P videos that where taken with both phones at the same time and boy ow boy the Samsung kills the Sensation on that front by a mile.

Since my HD2 is in repair I had some issues concentrating (called toying)and bought myself the very cheap ZTE blade. After 3 days I am starting to fall in love with it (especially for the price I paid for it).
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kailkti:
You could wait till aT&t releases their version, which will be cheaper prolly.

Or the HTC infuse is a good choice, along with the cappy, super amoled is my cup of tea.

yeah im agreed with you, and more even here in mexico where the assaults are in the skies ;/

so im willing to pay 450 MAX maybe for the Samsung infuse, i saw some camera shots of that phone and i felt in love with it, but otherwise i really love HTC SENSE

it is so cute and unique!!

is there a way to have "like sense" in samsung infuse 4G?

or do i have to stay with the htc inspire 4G?

because i already look the motorola atrix and i didnt like it at all :S or can someone defend it?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kailkti:
Sense can be ported, but from how I see it, the infuse will not have a lot of devs working on it, so sense might be impossible in this situation.

I'd say go for the inspire 4g, lots of devs.

For one, i've never used a atrix 4g before, but I won't vouch for it being good. I've been to the atrix 4g forums when it came out, and all I saw was problems, problems, problems, "lagginess", screen was uninspiring, camera had issues, it's just not worth it as I see it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] renehd2:
do you mean samsung infuse 4G or htc inspire 4G?

because as i know doesnt exist a htc infuse 4G :eek:?
