[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordmorphous:
Came from iPhone

I upgraded from an iPhone 3GS and have never once regretted it. The Dell Streak's large screen and form factor does turn some heads (Is that a phone???). Browsing the web is a treat using Dolphin Browser Mini. I run Streakdroid 1.9.0 (usually, although I flash alot) and am able to use Netflix, Crackle, Plex, and a host of other services for streaming movies. Not to mention movies stored on the device. They look great and sound great. I sometimes play with coworkers' phones (IOS and android) and have never seen one that I would be willing to part with my Streak for. True, it is a bit cumbersome and very large, but the rewards greatly justify the costs. I do use an otterbox, mainly because it makes the device so much easier to hold. Without it I feel the Streak is too thin and slick lend confidence to my grip. I use a bluetooth headset with it almost always because of the size. I don't want to hold this thing up to my head for long, but honestly talking on the phone is probably the thing I do the least with my Streak. I found myself ignoring my laptop after I bought the Streak....it just wasn't necessary anymore. It is not a powerhouse by today's standards, but really...who needs a dual core processor and 1GB+ RAM? It's not like I'm converting or editing videos on the thing. But keep in mind when I say this, that I don't play games on it very much. All in all, I've never regretted my decision. Good luck and welcome to the forums!

I left my Samsung Vibrant for the Streak and felt like the few sacrifices I made were worth it. I will miss the camera and Amoled screen.

As far as up and coming phones if you could deal with a 4.5inch screen I would wait for the Samsung Hercules. If 4.5 inches is to small their are really no options other than the streak.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kosenn:
I sold my iphone 4(went through iphone withdrawal). Now I'm happy with my streak. I love the large screen, and the looks I get when I take it out of my pocket. It does what I need it to do.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drussthelegend:
Fellas! Thanks for all your feedback!

I am now officially a Streaker! (...and now, I'll forever feel awkward when taking off my pants...)

Well, I finally got me a Dell! I'm still at work so will have to wait till I get home to start giving it the love it deserve. :)

I'll play around with it some as is and read up on the forum before trying to root and flash with it...

I'll try to put up my impression of the device some time in the near future; maybe after the honeymoon period is over! ;)

Thanks once again for the hand holding while I was trying to decide about the purchase...

The only negative is that I can't seem to find a suitable protective case for the device near my locale. Too bad the Streak was never picked up by the local retailers, so accessories are very rare to find here... :(
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Final5k:
Look for the Otterbox Commuter or Defender case on Ebay - some sellers do sell them pretty cheap. The normal rubber cases do not offer much protection as they are too slim to protect the device from important impact - my friend's Streak broke after 2 falls with a rubber case on it, and after the replacement arrived, he has now opted for an Otterbox.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drussthelegend:
Thanks for the heads up! :)
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BLKOUT!:
I went from an iPhone 3G, to a Blackberry Storm, to a HTC Desire and now onto the Streak and IMO it is by far the best of the four phones. It runs just as well as the Desire with such a bigger screen, but it's thin enough to be useable and not inconvenient. I get a lot of comments about how big it is but most of the time it's actually thinner than the other persons phone which surprises them a bit. Plus the front facing camera is cool, and I only paid $250 for mine so the price was fantastic. And I can actually see the screen in day light unlike the Desire.

Definitely don't regret buying my Streak and probably won't upgrade until another 5" screen phone (or very close to that) comes out. I don't think I could go back to the smaller screen.

Cases are difficult because they'd add bulk to it, I'm kinda reluctant about getting one but if you pick one up please post your thoughts, it'd be pretty helpful for me too.
[Trophy General] nightwishh:
I have purchased HTC Trophy and it have some problems when calling

Sometimes when i call it makes the sound like Busy and ends call and reception bar shows 0-1 then goes Full, but number is not busy and does it fault of Operator or Mobile Phone and can anyone help?
[Trophy General] Avandor:
Only issues I've had with my Trophy were while driving into a tunnel and losing a call due to bad reception.

You need to test if its your provider or the phone's problem. Get a SIM card from another operator and test it out, call different numbers in different locations... if you can't just ask to exchange the phone.
[Trophy General] nightwishh:
Thanks I will try and i have one more question:

Does your HTC Trophy get warm?or hot?
[Trophy General] Avandor:
Nope... but I've had some Android devices get very hot.

Try and remove the battery off your Trophy and see if that helps out.
[Trophy General] nightwishh:
and what need to do after battery off?? install other battery ? or the same and gets hot again : D
[Trophy General] Avandor:
Remove battery, face North and shake it 3 times... place battery back into phone and turn it on.

See how it works out.
[Trophy General] nightwishh:
and it won't get hot never ? is it recommended to get hot ?

can you give me your skype ID ? i will add you :))
[Trophy General] Avandor:
Not saying it won't ever again get hot... remove it and try it out. If it keeps getting too hot, I'd suggest taking back for a swap/refund.

How is the calls issue ? Solved, still giving you problems ?
[Trophy General] nightwishh:
I don't know it didn't make me disturb, but sometimes the message didn't send

I clicked on "Try Again" and it still doesn't send, but when i write message for different number it has been sent. I Don't know what does happens.

Can you offer me some of the best navigation application?
[Trophy General] nightwishh:
Does your trophy gets hotter??

I Was told that almost all smartphone gets hotter during using or charging and does your Trophy gets hotter too??
[Trophy General] Avandor:
The only time my Trophy gets a bit too hot to notice, is when I use it in my car... lighter charging and music playing.
[HTC Inspire 4G] renehd2:
hello i dont know if this only happen to me, but whe i turn on the Wifi and it shows all the wifi signals, all of them shows full bars, but after i connect to any of them, then appears the real signal, so i know this is not a big deal but its little annoying to know which one is with the better signal because all of them appear full bars when it is not true :S

any help??
[HTC Inspire 4G] Jake33108:
It's more of a workaround than a fix but there's a free app called Wifi Analyzer that can show you the exact signal strength in dB of all the signals it picks up, it's a pretty good app to have.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
I think your declaration of "wifi bug," is a bit premature, considering the near complete lack of any details regarding the setup of your phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] o(T_T):
download other rom from rom manager and install.. it fixed my phone

good luck :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Lol. There you have it. Just download another ROM and magical things happen.
[HTC Inspire 4G] renehd2:
i have tried like 4 different ROMS and all of them have the same thing.. all the Wifi signals appear with full bars but after i connect to any of them, then appears the real signal, but just after i connect to it, before, all have full bars when it is not true
[HTC Inspire 4G] gwallee:
I get this sometimes also. Usually turning off wifi for a few seconds and back on will fix it. There are some kernels that have a wifi bug. What kernel are you on?

Other times it can be my wireless signal that's the problem.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
+1

My WiFi does weird ****. Fluctuates and whatnot. My guess is it's radio related, as it does it more on the 04_11_M2 radio I'm running than it did on the OTA.

Not to mention the WiFi equipment at my house is hella lame. Plus my house has like 4000 walls all intersecting each other at weird places. And multiple stories. And I seem to be in the Bermuda triangle of wireless/radio waves.

Other than that, solid as a rock. :p
[Verizon Droid Charge] bagoffreedom:
I have usb debugging enabled but it still doesnt seem to work. In my system profile it shows that my samsung is connected... Any suggestions? or drivers that I need to install? It worked fine a couple of days ago with my thunderbolt

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] imkr1:
Hi,

I didn't know what happened.. what My Sensation now take about 6 to 7 hours to complete from 15% to 100% while before i just took 3 hours to complete the charging...

Edit: I knew the reason .. I used Nokia charger and it take more time (double) than the Original HTC charger.. i think mainly because of the charger...
[HTC Sensation] Solidus_n313:
possibly bad hardware, or a ****ty battery, i get full charge from 2% to 100% in about 3 hrs
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
I had the same problem, sometimes it goes fast, other times it just takes ages, aslo got the non responsive touch screen issue :( oh, and gps won't fix, it cant find more than 5 sattelites, hurray!
[HTC Sensation] ptruman:
I'm getting this on mains charging now also.

Not sure why - has anyone tried a "power off" charge versus a "power on" charge?
[HTC Sensation] brusko1972:
I always charge my phone power off. light to moderate use I get at least a day before charging.
[HTC Sensation] keinenplandavon:
Maybe that's firmware dependent. Some ppl noticed the same but after updating from 1.28.xxx.x to 1.35.xxx.x battery performance, battery monitor behavio(u)r and charging time are improved as well as other bugs fixed. But it's not officially released yet.

HTH
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
I'm using the 1.35.401 update, and still have this problem, aswell as bad gps reception, high battery drain, and long charge time.
[HTC Sensation] Solidus_n313:
im rocking 1.29.531.2 stock for my fone, and no problems with the battery at all, quick charges, and good to great battery life.

as for the GPS, i think everyone is having that issue right now, the most i ever got was on a completely clear day, 7 satellites :/

my HD2 after running the canada fix thru CWM got a minimum of 12 or a clear day

lucky for me i dont use the GPS that often, if ever :P

EDIT: also, im using the stock charger about 3 out of 4 of my charges, the rest are from my lappy via usb
[HTC Sensation] The_Biz:
It's slow at charging. Get the wall charger from tmobile or use a Samsung galaxy s charger. The galaxy s charger will charge it way faster than the stock htc charger.
[HTC Sensation] piimp:
I can honestly say that it takes mine about an hour longer to charger while power off than while power is on, don't know y tho. So now I usually just let it drain to about 3% n then charge it..
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
If you want your battery to last longer you shouldn't let it drain more than down to 20%, due to the nature of the lithium battery :)
[HTC Sensation] piimp:
Any proof/literature on this or this is just what u do n u feel like it helps
[HTC Sensation] Solidus_n313:
its actually a fact, most ppl who have used Li-Ion for at least the past decade know that if you want the best performance, dont let it drop below 15-20% before charging, for optimum batter life and sustainablilty.

same thing goes for if you arent going to use the device for a long time (min. 1 month) charge it to around 50%, then decomission, and the battery will "keep" very well

EDIT: because flamers love their link complaints http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries
[HTC Sensation] r3v0Lut10n:
with 1.35 chargin is much faster. really :) it's already available ota for unbranded, branded phone owners need to w8 for their carrier ... :\
[HTC Sensation] harnahud:
i'm interesting by your proposition,could you explain why galaxy s charger is faster than htc charger?

i use to wait 3 hours(-+) for 25 to 100 pcent, how galaxy s charger is faster?

thank you!

ps:sorry for my english but look at my location!!!!!
[HTC Sensation] The_Biz:
It charges faster because it charges faster. Lol

Idk why it does, but it does. It's the same for my hd2. A friend gave me the galaxy charger for a extra. I tried the charget and it just charged faster for my hd2. So when I got my sensation and saw that the stock charger was slow like the hd2, I tried the galaxy one, sure enough, it was faster too.
[HTC Sensation] harnahud:
Thanks for your informations...

Just got 1.35.163.1

Some people says that improve the charging time.

I will report this tomorrow.

And i will test with sgs charger too!
[HTC Sensation] dubie76:
I have a US version stock. As you know we have no updates yet and no s-off. My phone charges fast sometimes, other times it can be on the wall charger for 6+ hours and not be fully charged. I think its a software issue honestly.
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
Yes as said earlier recharge when it's at 20% the battery will hold much longer :) the batteryuniversity is my source too ;) Also spare batteries should be kept at 50% and kept in the refrigerator when not in use.

Hmm the new update didn't do much for charge time for me though.
[HTC Sensation] joshndroid:
the charger that comes with the sensation is ~1A which is kinda slow when the phone is on, not as bad as others with only 500mA usb... you should be able to find a usb that give a higher A output and still retain the usb plug (ive seen 1.5A before cant remember where)... failing that if your ingenious you can splice through a different charger and make your own.. could achieve 2A+ but your could burn ya house down or blow your battery up in the process:D
[HTC Sensation] tantin75:
For the record, I bought an unbranded USB cable on Ebay.

Connected to a PC, charging my Sensation takes forever! :eek:

Whereas with the HTC cable, it recharges 10 times faster.

Therefore, beware of unbranded compatible hardware... ;)
[HTC Sensation] omar302:
Long Charging Time

I have always felt that my sensation takes a long time to recharge, so I used current widget to log the charging time and to compare it a Desire S I have at home too.

The conclusion:

Sensation, as per specs, has a battery of 1520 mAh. Total charge time from 15-17% to full 100% takes 4h & 35m (4:35)

The Desire S, as per specs, has a battery of 1450 mAh. Total charge time from 16% to full 100% takes 2h only.

Of note, the charging of the Desire S is at a higher rate, it starts at 876 mA & at the end goes down to 92 mA. But the Sensation starts charging at 727 mA & at the end, near full, it is down to only 5-7 mA. Both phones are using the same supplied HTC Charger & Cable.
[HTC Sensation] tantin75:
And the result is...?
[HTC Sensation] :
The result is - it charges faster. Just like I said in my op.... Why do people always need somebody other than the person who tried and it said the result, say the same as the op?

I don't get that...........
[HTC Sensation] mennalus:
My original htc sensation charger stopped working on day three... I am using my my touch 3g charger and it is recharging faster than ever now.

I did have trouble with the sensation charger before it crapped out on me. I guess I'll look for an aftermarket one soon...
[HTC Sensation] tantin75:
Hey! Do not upset yourself.

I just want to make sure from a second person that charging is really faster.

I don't want to buy a Galaxy charger for nothing.

Anyway, thank you for sharing this solution. ;)
[HTC Sensation] niddnet:
Just a short note about the current 'current' issue - see what I did there? *grin*

According to the label on my Sensation, it states 5v DC at 1.0A. That's the very maximum it will draw (use) on a charger - at least - officially speaking.

Now, onto the chargers... if you have a 1A charger, or a 2A charger, or a 5.6A charger (yes, I have a 5.6A 5v DC unit for something or other - I horde these things lol), the phone will STILL only take a maximum of 1A only, as that's what it's designed for.

You could connect a 5v DC adaptor with 500A available, and it would still only utilise the 1A that the phone uses.

However, if your charger provides LESS than 1A, the phone will try to get the 1A, but will fail, because it's not there to be had. This will give you slower charging speeds, and occasionally error messages. I've had, a couple of times, "The current available is not sufficient to support the operation of the phone" or something like that.

Now, onto standards. The official standard for USB is that it must supply only 500mA (0.5A). This is only provided when certain conditions are met between the device and the USB host.

Some USB devices can, and occasionally will provide more than the official standard - up to 1.5A iirc - notably the new MacBook Pro, iMacs etc - this is because the iPad requires this higher current to charge and operate. If you plug an iPad into 'conventional' USB, it'll say "Not Charging" - it does actually charge, but very very slowly, and only if the iPad is turned off.

So, in summary, as long as your charger is rated at least 1.0A, it's going to be exceptionally unlikely that the charger will factor into the difference of charging times. If it's less, or you're using USB, it's likely to be longer.

Other things to take in mind - whether or not the BatteryUniversity link has touched on these - batteries are, themselves, active devices now - they have their own internal circuits that can instruct the regulators in the phone to charge at different rates as demanded by the battery's cells.

Also, remember that your battery meter on your phone may not be hugely accurate, so charging from 20-100% on 3 occasions could yield 3 different results. Finally, even if you DID have a perfectly accurate battery meter, ALL battery technologies (NiCD, NiMH, LiPo, etc) charge at different rates given ambient heat, and other factors (barometric pressure, etc) too.

Very finally - LiPos can and will explode, violently, if messed with... follow the instructions, and all will be fine :)
[HTC Sensation] cableline02:
I know i have had better charge time and battery life out of my phone since i keep the 4g turned off and stay on edge unless heavy downloading. Also the temp of the phone is a lot better from 105.4 to 85.5 from normal use. I also get a full day out of my battery.
[HTC Sensation] harnahud:
try this morning with this:

Original Samsung Travel Chargeur ETA0U10EBE MicroUSB

(i put a new battery from yoobao (1700 mAh) last saturday.)

two cycles of charge with the new battery and the original HTC charger.

takes near 4 h to complete full charge.(as stock battery)

Third parts this morning:

with the samsung charger:

16% to 100% in 2 hours....:p

great, i didn't try with stock battery but i'm think it will be the same.

Yoobao HTC sensation is very great for me,36 hours 100% to 16%....

with 4 hours of wifi, lot of email/twitter sync,3G on,DATA on....

Not a full activity,but better than stock battery!!!!!

I think the original HTC SENSATION battery is not very the best quality/perf for this phone, power in mAh is not the problem....(1560 mAh to 1700mAh is not the reason for a better perf,controller in the battery maybe?)
[LG Optimus 3D] SinSilla:
Hey,

since this is my first Android Handset i'd like to know if it is yet possible to make a full backup of the stock rom? I know that Nandroid is used for that, but i think this requires the Clockworkmod (which is not yet available for us afaik)?

Can someone hook me up with a noob friendly tutorial on how to do this on the O3D?

Thanks in advance!
[LG Optimus 3D] nic85:
good question!
[LG Optimus 3D] SinSilla:
Well, my question has since been answered in some other threads.

What i did:

Root my device

install latest USB Drivers for O3D (e.g. via LG Mobile Support tool)

put Phone in USB-Debug mode (settings > applications > development)

get the SuperOneClick Tool (Google SDK was not necessary for me on Win7)

connect phone via USB > run SuperOneClick > click Root

when SuperOneClick is done > Reboot

Backup Stock Rom

get RomManager via Market

Install Clockwork Recovery via RomManager

run BackupCurrentRom

phone reboots and you`re done

After rooting the phone i got myself:

BusyBox Toolset (required for TitaniumBackup)

AdFree (for removing Ads from FreeApps)

RootUninstaller (for removing system apps)

TitaniumBackup (Backup all your apps)

(all available from the market)
[LG Optimus 3D] Lorien25:
Does this all work well, i red from other users they have crippled their Phone because of rooting etc..

Its my first android phone, i want to have it a while ;)

Or can i restore it always with those tools u used on it ?
[LG Optimus 3D] ik911:
If you start moving and deleting system files like a idiot you will brick it :)

Root it then install rom manager then backup your rom you will be safe
[LG Optimus 3D] SinSilla:
It's not like you have to root your phone. You could keep it locked stock if it works for you. But there are certain benefits from rooting the phone that make it worth a try. Just make sure you have a working backup before experimenting.
[LG Optimus 3D] Aussie Adam:
So if you make a back-up of the rom and let's say were an idiot and bricked the phone, can it be restored from the back-up? Is it the 3 button sequence to put the device into recovery mode, or is it once it's bricked it's bricked?
[LG Optimus 3D] ik911:
as long as you back it up you will be fine
[LG Optimus 3D] appuser:
HI there,

I used clockworkMod and made a backup.

But after i updated the phones kernel i can't boot out of recovery mode.

I've tried everything (restore backup, restore factory settings)

It keeps booting in recovery?????..... Help!!

No, luck i had the phone three days....

Maybe somebody knows what to do....

LG optimus P920 (3D)
