Hi I goin abroad on sunday and my question is... cos my flight will be 4H long and I would like to watch movies on my streak anyone know how long battery will work? on flightmode ofcourse

cheers
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alexanderbooth:
Your phone lasts probably 2 to three times longer on flight mode, I went to Turkey about a month ago, and it the flight was about 4 hours, I watched a film, 3 episodes of cougar and played games and listen to music the rest of the time. Still had about 50% battery left :-D
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvin02:
Your battery life will depend a lot on how bright you have the screen.

There are battery powered and rechargeable devices that you can use to get extra life (or an extra battery).

If I install this Froyo rom

[28 Mar 11][F1 Froyo 2.2.2 V3][FAT32]

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neoofoox:
There is a kernel with working camera, but the camera can't fokus and the quality is very bad, so it is useless for now. Trust me ;)
[Thunderbolt General] ajmillinger:
The IMEI number on my Thunderbolt does not match the one Verizon has in there system. They cannot figure out how to correct this. I even call HTC to trace the erroneous IMEi number and it doesn't come up as anything in their system. I bought phone day 1 it came out and am not rooted. What could cause this and does anyone know how to fix it. Verizon has no clue.
[Thunderbolt General] Mustang302LX:
You have been using it since day 1? Why all of a sudden is there an issue then?
[Thunderbolt General] ajmillinger:
The sim works but with the wrong IMEI I won't get any updates to phone. I recently noticed that on the My Verizon section on the the verizon website, picture of my phone is blank. That's what led me to call verizon.
[Thunderbolt General] Mustang302LX:
If you purchased it from VzW you should demand a new phone. Otherwise you don't get updates? Screw that man! They should rectify this issue.
[Thunderbolt General] ddgarcia05:
Does the number on the box match the device? Have them scan the box.
[Thunderbolt General] ajmillinger:
the number on box and phone are same. Only verizon has a different one
[Thunderbolt General] mb02:
Then Verizon screwed up. Go get a new one.
[Thunderbolt General] Carl G35c:
You will still recieve ota updates... Id only raise a fuss if you had insurance on tour tbolt
[Thunderbolt General] ajmillinger:
I was told I wouldn't get updates because it is sent out by IMEI number which Verizon has wrong for me
[Thunderbolt General] Mustang302LX:
If the phone and box have same IMEI # you need to tell VzW you demand they change it in their system to match yours or give you a totally new phone. You paid them for it and your service!
[Thunderbolt General] ajmillinger:
I am in the process of having a new phone sent to me. I wish they could figure out how to simply change the number in system but they can't seem to do it. It's been a week now. You would think it is simple to do but no one there can figure it out.
[Thunderbolt General] Shawn haz root:
Make sure it's new and not a 'like new' replacement. Not that theres anything wrong with a refurb but it would be principle to me to obtain a new replacement for their brain fart.
[Thunderbolt General] madisonjar:
Something must be really messed up as I just activated a ebay bought thunderbolt last night with a 4g sim card I had shipped to my house (both arrived same day). I called in and spoke to a woman who just took my sim card number, and told me the meid and all other info comes over automatically to verizon...and sure enough about ten minutes later when I logged in online to see it was all there...so somehow your phone is not reporting the right imei number or something has been manually over-ridden.
[Thunderbolt General] ajmillinger:
Verizon made good and sent be new phone. Works like a charm
[G Tablet General] drkrbl:
So I was browsing the web (using the stock browser) on my gTab last night, and suddenly noticed I had WORKING flash! I noticed this when I created a new tab and it was loaded ASUS's homepage Usually, it is just a white screen because the site is flash based. Later in my browsing session, it actually loaded the page. Intrigued, I went over to IGN and loaded some of their videos. To my surprise, they played with video and sound.

I rebooted my gTab to start this test over. Went to ASUS, and it was just a white screen. Went to IGN and tried to load some videos, but that didn't work. Then, I went to Google Maps in my browser and let it completely load it's browser plug-in. After that, I went back to ASUS and it showed the whole web site; IGN was able to play videos again as well.

Did I stumble across something that might help get Flash working on Honeycomb'ed ROM's for good? Or am I not the first person to discover this?

I ask any other users in this great community that are running Honeycomb'ed ROM's to test my theory and report back.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Flash actually works (kind of) - the ASUS home page was the first thing I noticed also, since it's the home page and requires Flash. But Flash videos don't work (only the audio plays back). So it's not functioning 100%.
[G Tablet General] drkrbl:
I did get Flash videos to play back though, hence my surprise. I have been running your BOS since 4.x and was very aware that Flash video playback would not work.

I ask that other users try my "hack" and test video/audio playback from flash videos. I hope I am not alone in seeing video/audio playback.
[G Tablet General] drkrbl:
Nevermind...

It just dawned upon me that IGN utilizes HTML5. I checked out ESPN's website and none of the flash videos there have video playback.

I feel like such a noob now... Whoops! :rolleyes:
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
No worries! For what it's worth , I wish it worked....

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nis161:
So since there is no UHKF3, I can't upgrade?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naddie:
There's nothing stopping you at all. It depends on what you want.

I'd personally love to stick with a generic EU ROM, but right now they only go as high as KE7. I'm on a custom VillanROM now which is KF2. If you want to get the latest, KF4 is out (but for Hong Kong)...

I haven't made any decisions yet. Waiting on CM7. While I'm waiting, there is a alpha MIUI ROM that looks complete enough to be fun, but not ready yet as a daily driver.
[HTC Sensation] gguy1:
I wanted to ask if anyone knows how HTC handles updating the included software? most of them don't show as installed in the android app market, so I don't get update notifications for them.

I'm asking this because there's a update that came out for the adobe flash player today, and I'm not sure if it was updated in my phone.
[HTC Sensation] gguy1:
I just checked it out in the manage application and it's still on 10.2 software, WTF... so anybody know if that suppose to be the case, and how is it smart to have the built in apps not show up in the market.
[HTC Sensation] Elvis_Freshly:
The ones that are built in (besides flash) you need to leave them be...The Version of Qik is newer in our phone...the market version is older and hasnt been optimized for our phones.

If it doesn't show up it's because they put a different version in our phone than what was released in the market...Leave it alone and when its ready to update it will alert you..Like I said..Flash is the exception to that.
[HTC Sensation] gguy1:
OK so does the mean...?

Okay so does this mean that I shouldn't manually update apps like Adobe Reader, Telnav... those are the only additional ones i noticed besides flashy that weren't updated.

Keep in mind that older versions of adobe products are known to have major security flaws.

That may not be saying much because allot of things in android OS have security flaws, but that's besides the point. Just because it's optimized for our devices does that make it not vulnerable?
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
fyi...I did have an htc update notify for the Listen V1.31 app on 6/25/11. Installed w/o issue...
[HTC Sensation] Elvis_Freshly:
Nah, not those.. just apps like qik and TMOBILE tv, etc. Not the adobe apps. Update those.
[HTC Sensation] gguy1:
Yea I got that one too but others were left not updated
[HTC Sensation] gguy1:
Ok seems about right then... It would be nice to get a auto notification about these updates when they release though maybe there's a app for it...
[HTC Sensation] Hgaara:
Aw this sucks, I already installed the apps from the marketplace thinking the ones on my phone where older version.

Should I do a factory restore so I can get them all back to normal? Or am I SOL?

[Streak 5 General] maximoz:
For me ... it has been stable although it's a little slow but changing the default UI helps some.

If you feel daring, can try simple streak, a custom rom based on 2.2.2 version 354 which has been stable and fast for quite a few of those streak owners :)

Are you on Rogers? If so that's the latest rogers rom.

If you're not could you provide info on your rom?

Either way you can update to a retail/unbranded rom.
[Streak 5 General] geo.samuel:
Provide more info bruv!! you will get better answers!!

On the other hand 2.2.2 the latest 354 is good and stable, even simple streak is based on the same, and does its job well!!

However all these things matter when you can share the info of your current rom.

Cheers

[Streak 5 General] hunterzz:
hi what info do you need as far as I know its just the standard androied that came with the phone
[Streak 5 General] geo.samuel:
Basically the info in the about phone section the build no the baseband the kernel ect

Sent from my Dell Streak while away from alienware
[Streak 5 General] hunterzz:
android version 2.2

baseband ver; GAUSB1A131800

BUILD NO, 12821

KERNEL VER. 2.6.32.9-PERF
[Streak 5 General] geo.samuel:
Bruv

The OEM Build 12821 is the official retail (00) 318 DELL ROM and you can upgrade directly to 351 which is really good and faster than 318, GPS fix is faster including many other goodies, if you use the stock launcher that is the Dell Stage then 351 has an upgraded version of the same (looks nice!! Though I never use it.) :p

But download few required files and a tool AMSS.MBN, DSP1.MBN and the recovery.img before you update the 351 Update.pkg

Download FASTBOOT files required to run fastboot commands from here

The last fastboot download will be a zip file by the name Fastboot+ADB unzip it and delete the two folders called as Win XP and Win 7 those are not needed and you will be left with four files (adb.exe fastboot. exe and two .Dll's files)

Create a folder with an easy name like "Fastboot" or something and put all the files inside (amss.mbn, dsp1.mbn, recovery.img and the four files from the fastboot+ADB folder, just the files and not the fastboot+ADB folder)

So you will have a fastboot folder with 7 files in it.

And copy the update.PKG to the root of the SD card

Install the Dell Streak Drivers from here

Have attached all the required hyperlinks to the files needed :cool:

We are ready to flash now!! :)

Lets Start:

Open Command Prompt with elevated permission

Set your phone into fastboot mode (Camera + Power Button) Tap on Fast Boot

Plug the USB cable into the system.

In command prompt go to the Fastboot folder

fastboot -i 0x413c flash amss amss.mbn

fastboot -i 0x413c flash dsp1 dsp1.mbn

fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot -i 0x413c reboot

When the phone is rebooting immediately hold the Volume Up + Down keys to enter the RECOVERY

Select Software Update option and then at the Update screen press the Shutter Button to Start the Update

Once the update is done

Perform a factory reset.

For rooting the phone download and install Ginger Break from here

Enjoy the Streak with the latest retail (00) DELL ROM 351 :D

Cheers

Don't forget to hit that Thanks button that's a lot of writing up there!!
[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
You dont need to flash the dsp or baseband to update, in fact you shouldnt as it's redundant.

All you need to do is (as you're on 318) is copy the pkg to your sd card and name it 'update.pkg' and install it from recovery mode.

Even easier is to simply go to settings -> update while in android and it will do it automatically.
[Streak 5 General] hunterzz:
Thanks for taking the time to write all this down but I dont have a clue what most of its about I dont no anything about ROMs

it was just the standard update I was thinking about installing if it was any better
[Streak 5 General] roperband:
Hahaha, that was pretty funny.
[Streak 5 General] geo.samuel:
In that case see if you are getting any option to update the software from the phone itself go to Settings>> About Phone>> System Updates....thats the best and the painless way as our guy TheManii already said!!
[Streak 5 General] geo.samuel:
Dammm Dawg!!

That was a lot of writing there...LOL I am still laughing!!
[Streak 5 General] hunterzz:
hi I think there is some confusion here yes the option is there to do the update I wanted to know is it worth doing it and has anyone else tried it I read a thread a while back saying it had caused problems for one guy so wanted some feed back before I do it

cheers
[Streak 5 General] hunterzz:
Anyone updated theres?
[Streak 5 General] vanemburghj:
Simple answer is yes, updating to 2.2.2 does couple of things, fixes few security concerns, faster gps locks (good thing if you are heavy gps users), and additional tweaks throughout. Just have to remember that if you are truly stock there will be some pain in restoring your apps. Re-loading each app one at time and potentially some data loss. Dell backup and restore is basically a link tracker, so when you click on install, for example angry birds, it will take you to the market link to install it.

You said in another post you are not a technical type, so just follow the instructions when you select update and you should be good to go. Good luck.
[Streak 5 General] hunterzz:
THANKS MATE i THINK i WILL JUST LEAVE IT FOR NOW AS IT WORKS OK AND THE gps IS THE FASTTEST i HAVE SEEN ON THE PHONES i HAVE TRIED IT ONLY TAKE 7 SECS TO LOCATE 10 SATS INDOORS THEN ANOTHER 9 SECS TO LOCK ONTO AT LEAST 8
[Streak 5 General] Computerized:
Connect to Wi-Fi and you should get update notification

or you can go to about --> system update and you should get it
[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
If you get the OTA notification and install the update that way you will not lose your apps.

If you flash the update by renaming it to update.pkg and install it from recovery mode it will wipe everything.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smiles.smiley:
Recently I sent my phone to repair and it came back with Froyo 2.2. I'm pretty disappointed with Froyo as there are bugs with the Music Player. So I decided to flash a Deodexed JVK Firmware. After it was successfully flashed, the phone stucks on the Galaxy S GT 19000T screen.

I've read that the way to solve this is to flash it with a Eclair Firmware (currently planning to use JM8) with 512.pit and repartition, then only you reflash the Deodexed JVK. Is this the correct way?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lunchbox115:
Does the deodexed fw contain bootloaders? If no, you have to flash any Gingerbread-ROM WITH bootloaders (Froyo bootloader != Ginger bl).

If it contains bl, just flash it again, but this time with PIT-file and Re-Partition ticked. ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kurre:
Deodexed versions doesn't have bootloaders, so i would suggest to first flash JM9 w/ 512 pit + repart, then flash desired GB with bootloaders (see Ramads threads in General section). After that you can flash deodexed rom. And remember to make hard reset after flashing stock GB.

For AOSP check out Virtuous G-lite, a GB based build that is stable and fast.

For Sense check out either Virtuous 1.0.2 (froyo) or Unity (GB). Haven't tried Unity yet, but Virtuous was great when I had it.

For something alittle different, MIUI builds are fast with a unique interface. I played around with my friends x10 with MIUI and it was decently fast. Most are based on 2.3.4 if I'm not mistaken.

As long as they put the joysticks in opposite screen corners (like Gun Bros, for example) - you're mostly ok (after the phone heats when you play for a while, the screen might do its "magic" once or twice, but it can be lived with).
