[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScreenMode:
system restore didn't have any effect at all. format is the only option left, i give up on this software.

i just don't want to waste anymore time, i'll use wp7 connector for mac instead.

thank you very much for everyone here for spending time to answer me. operator may closed this post in peace.
[Dell Streak 7] Tom2112:
OK, I'm a n00b to this forum, so I can't post in the development forum yet. So I guess I'll ask here. :D

I have some questions about HoneyStreak.

Is everyone's screen in HoneyStreak kinda off? (See image below)

Is there a way to make the font larger?

How come everything is so tiny? (fonts and icons and everything)

What launcher should I be using with HoneyStreak?

Will a different launcher make a difference with the icon/font size?

Is the answer to all of my questions just that its a Beta release of Honeycomb, and that they are working on all of that? (or is it supposed to be like that? or did I mess up my install?)
[Dell Streak 7] Z4nd4r:
1. Yes.

2. Yes, but you lose the HoneyComb Google Apps if you do that (you can bump the screen density up).

3. See #2.

4. Stock is probably best.

5. Not to my knowledge, but I could be wrong.

6. Yes.

Most of this has been covered in the HoneyStreak thread. I know it's a bit to read through, so I'm not annoyed; just saying you could probably find the answer to these questions and more on there if you're willing to put some time in.

Honeycomb isn't ready for primetime on the Streak 7, yet. This is more of an early beta, but it shows a lot of promise. Once AOSP drops, it ought to be significantly better (though that may not be until Ice Cream Sandwich). Keep watching.
[Dell Streak 7] Tom2112:
Thanks Zandar, once again.

It is definitely a very promising beta. I can't wait until it's ready for prime time. Until then, I think I'll go back to the stock ROM, but rooted. I don't see too much advantage to StreakDroid, so I'll just wait for HoneyStreak. :)
[Dell Streak 7] Z4nd4r:
That's exactly what I did. StreakDroid doesn't have functioning bluetooth, so that was a no-go for me. Try Gingerbreak for rooting stock 2.2.2; easiest root I've ever done.
[Dell Streak 7] Tom2112:
I got excited when I saw a post about GingerStreak, but that's for the Streak 5. It kinda stinks having Gingerbread on my old phone and Froyo on my new tablet. LOL

I guess no one is interested in working on a Gingerbread ROM while Honeycomb is in beta. I don't blame them.

GingerBreak was an easy root. The hardest part was getting the .apk file onto the Streak and running it - which wasn't hard at all.

Another off-the-wall question for you:

How come none of the ROMs for the Streak 7 are Cyanogenmod based? I'm curious because I've gotten used to a lot of the Cyanogenmod features on my phone and I miss them on the Streak.
[Dell Streak 7] Z4nd4r:
There aren't the devs for that, right now. There's a thread over on the Cyanogenmod forums asking for develops and even offering money for a port; no response, yet. I loved CM on my old Droid, but this device simply didn't have the dev support that the OG Droid had (not yet, anyway).
[Dell Streak 7] DJ_Steve:
Dont count on no cm devs :)
[Dell Streak 7] Tom2112:
Hey Steve! Thanks for all that you do for our Streaks!! You are the man.

I do hope that recent price drops for the Streak 7 bring on some more interest. The more popular the device the more people will want to work on it.
[Dell Streak 7] Z4nd4r:
First off, I love what you've done for the Streak 7. You're really the only one pushing the device, and I know you're also busy with the Streak 5 (and, you know, have a life and stuff, too). I'm very grateful to have you developing.

That said, you're only one man (though a very talented one). I'm pretty excited to hear that some other devs might join the team. This device has so much potential, and it would be great to see people working to unlock it.

Any other info you can share, or is it all top secret, hush-hush right now?
[Dell Streak 7] Heulfryn:
another noob with question

i am ordering a streak 7 from t-mobile and will have it next week. in the mean time reading this forum and ready to get on honeystreak.

Do i just follow step by step direction in DJSteve honeystreak thread? is there anything i have to do before that, like root, fastboot,....?

thanks in advance,
[Dell Streak 7] Tom2112:
You'll need to root your device in order to install honeystreak.

I wouldn't mess with the SuperOneClick method of rooting. GingerBreak is the easiest method. Check the instructions in this thread:

[Dell Streak 7] rattlehead02:
Since I don't have enough posts I wasn't allowed to post in the development Honeystreak thread (10 posts required) so I figure I'll post here.

I just installed Honeystreak RC2 and so far it's GREAT! Thanks to DJ_Steve and others who made it possible!

My question though is regarding Facebook. I'm unable to find the FB app in the Android or Amazon marketplaces. Is this an issue for anyone else?

I searched for the .apk, but could only find version 1.4, and I know it has been recently updated. Anyone have the most recent apk?

Thanks for any input!

Jeff
[Dell Streak 7] Z4nd4r:
Not to provide a non-answer, but the Android FB app sucks. I'd just use the mobile site.
[Dell Streak 7] rattlehead02:
No arguments there. But I do like having the FB widget on my home screen.

Also I figure I'd do my part to help point out any bugs or what-not with the RC build.
[Dell Streak 7] DJ_Steve:
Facebook mobile shows up in rc3 and you dont need to be rooted to flash honeystreak.
[Dell Streak 7] keith.valdez:
If you'd just read the instructions then you wouldn't have asked your question I guess. LOL.
[Dell Streak 7] keith.valdez:
Facebook mobile and the official Facebook for Android app are two completely different beasts. Facebook for Android does not show up in the RC3 marketplace. I had to push it from my phone to my HoneyStreak 7. Doing that though doesn't allow it to integrate with your Gallery and therefore can't share photos and videos on Facebook via RC3 unless you use the mobile site, which has intermittent issues. I'm pretty sure I could in RC2 as I had Facebook on there working properly. That's an Issue for me since technically it's my wife's streak 7 and she uses it primarily for facebook and surfing the web... oh yeah, and Angry Birds, gotta have Angry Birds.

When you are creating the VPN profile you need to use the Menu/Save option rather than just pressing the back button otherwise your changes will be lost.

hey guys finally i got my xoom from karachi pakistan its a z604 wifi only i think they got it from US as well ok my questions are as follows

Q1) why cant i download free apps it says the item cannot be installed in ur country when trying to download and install flash as well it says request cannot be found ??

Q2) i dont know if its a bug in 3.1 but my icons outline still shows in the left of the screen even if i slide to the next screen i hope its not hardware fault uploading some pics for u guys to see

sad i need eight posts its ok :(

i can PM links to the pic for u guys to see what the problem it

thank you

Ahmed
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
Question 1...some apps will not be available in some countries. There are apps that can get around it by spoofing your location, such as Market Enabler. I have not heard that flash was not available in Pakistan but a google search with the question should tell you.

Question 2: That is standard for the stock launcher. It is just a stylish touch. If it bugs you, look into a third party launcher like ADW or LauncherPro.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
You might also want to try entering another location (as in a US location) in your settings for GPS. If you look through some of the older threads you will see that some Xoom owners in other (non-EU) countries were successful in gaining access to apps that way.

Good luck and enjoy your Xoom...I do!

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aup808:
I have a screen protector on my phone and I accidentally had my phone and keys in my pocket and it made a small scratch through the screen protector on the phone. Does toothpaste work or is that an urban legend? Or should I try some of those Displex (or whatever it is called) products that take scratches off LCD screens (although I am not sure if it works well on touch screens), or if I need a replacement screen. Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sublimaze:
If the scratches are fine, you can put a Zagg cover or similar vinyl-type cover on it. The soft vinyl fills in superficial scratches so well, you can't see them. If the scratches are deep & catches your fingernail, you probably have to replace the screen. I have seen the toothpaste trick used to buff car headlights, but I have no idea how well it works on a phone. If the scratches are deep & you're looking at replacing it anyway, you could try toothpaste since you really have nothing to lose. Good luck
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aup808:
The scratch is pretty small, my fingernail does not catch to it. What do you mean by Zagg cover? Like, one of their screen protectors or another product? I am going to a Verizon store to see if they might have any options or if they can to touch it up there, but I do not think they will be too much help so I look to XDA for advice, ha.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sublimaze:
Go to Best Buy & ask for a Zagg screen shield. They should have it for Tbolt by now. They're a pain to install, so you might consider paying the extra $10 or so to have the rep install it for you. That way, if it's not to your liking they'll redo it for no extra charge (even if they must open another package). Vinyl screen covers are soft & pliable and fill in superficial scratches kinda like a thick liquid, unlike cheap stiff screen covers. I did this with a phone that had some very fine scratches & areas that had rubbed against a case or something, and it all disappeared with the Zagg cover.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avatar120:
Zagg screen protectors are great have used them on my last three phones . A little expensive but worth it (19.99 @ best buy) life time replacement and very hard to scratch. Not to hard to put on just like doing window tint. They are soft so they do occasionally stretch but keep the application kit and just rinse it off and reapply .
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aup808:
Hmm, I might try the Zagg option since it seems to be the best option - are there any other things I can try or look into?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avatar120:
Do not use scratch remover you can easily do more damage than the scratch on it now . I have seen friends use it only to mess up their screen more .
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aup808:
I see, I was worried because I know on LCD screens you can use scratch removers, but with touch screen phones I was afraid of if it would do more damage like you said. The more I look, I feel like I can sort of feel it slightly with my fingernail - it is one of those scratches that on a white screen you can see the multiple colors as you slowly turn the phone (hopefully I am describing this correctly because I normally stick at describing stuff). The screen protector is still on but I can tell this went through (my keys were in my pocket with my phone for like 3 seconds and when I realized this, I think in my panic to take the keys out so they wouldn't scratch the screen, I scratched the screen... Ugh, ha). Would that Zagg protector still be able to cover that sort of scratch?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sublimaze:
You will proly still have some color distortion but it won't be as bad as what you see now. And a $20 vinyl screen cover is much cheaper than replacing the whole glass...unless you have a friend in the phone repair business.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aup808:
Thanks for your help! I am going to go to the Verizon store within the next hour or so and ask their opinion, and then go over to Best Buy and look at the Zagg... Would something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Verizon-HTC-Thunderbolt-Digitizer-Engraving/dp/B004ULQH34 be something I could do myself and replace, or would I need a Verizon or other phone retailer to install it for me?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sublimaze:
That is a new screen, not just a cover. You could install that yourself if you know what you're doing, but that means completely disassembling the phone & reassembling it. You might have a hard time finding a phone repair shop to do it, since you'd be asking them to use parts you bought online. Most places won't mess with parts bought from another retailer, and they are even more unlikely to warranty it. Verizon will definitely refuse to touch it. If you decide to replace the glass, just ask around for a good phone repair shop and pay them for everything (parts & labor) so you can get a warranty.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kennytung:
I'm having this problem from stock ROM (unrooted) to latest rooted ROMs (Virtuous Sense, InsertCoin...). I've already have it's firmware reinstalled by HTC first and then board replacement the second time I have the problem.

The phone just shutdowns itself and I cannot turn it on again unless I pull out/in the battery or plug in the charger. There is one time that I can't even turn it on by doing anything but after numerous battery pulls I can boot into Recovery and restart in there.

Is this a hardware faulty? If so the do I have to revert it back to unrooted in order to have it repaired by HTC?

I'm living in Vietnam and there are authorized HTC support center here but I don't know whether the policy to deal with rooted phone is different? And also will I have a new replacement because it has been repaired many times :(

Long story, but need to urgently place an order for an external battery pack. I personally need something that is compact and gives me at least three full charges on a single charge.

Apologies if mistaken, but I don't think there's a thread dedicated to external battery packs... thought this one one could help a lot of people discuss their experience and also seek help on deciding the right one for them.
