GPS Essentials rebooting phone

Guys, I'm posting this here because I didn't notice this problem the few hours I have used the stock ROM.

I use the GPS Essentials app quite frequently and it's never given me problems before so I'm kinda stumped...

When I run the app and use the compass, I see my CPU meter jump to max and a maybe 10 seconds later the phone reboots. Now I can use GPS Status and toolbox or any other app that uses the compass without any troubles.

I've flashed 1.9.1 a couple more times hoping that would fix it but with no prevail, any advice from you guys with more experience?

Oops, forgot to mention that before flashing StreakDroid, I had flashed stock recovery, flashed stock 351 update.pkg, then flashed Streakmod again to flash 1.9.1 over stock ROM. Of course I did factory reset. That's why I'm stumped, I can't really see where something may not have been correctly written because I'm not getting force closes or instability with any other apps using sensors.

Thanks for any advice!

1.9.1 on white dell streak

has anyone tried to get 1.9.1 running on a white dell streak. When i try to 'update from zip' it runs the attempt but fails. has anyone else experienced this?

thanks in advance

[Streak 5 Android Development] PeteSeiler2010:
I just did a fresh install of it this morning, I had no issues. Are you selecting the update-1.9.1.zip file when flashing? Which recovery are you using, from what i have been reading Streakmod is much more stable than Clockwork. I am fairly new to this device, but I have been flashing it for a couple weeks now without any issues. I hope you get it figured out.

Does anyone know off the top of their heads if I can just flash the boot.img(the kernel) on a stock 351 build?

I tried the one with volboost and ppt and put the module file in the right folder and my wifi broke. All I really want is the overclocking.

Are there any other files or folders I need to put from the update zip to make the kernel work properly? (i.e. libs, modules, or props.)

Thanks in advance
[Streak 5 Android Development] MySeLfPT:
For the wifi to work you need to replace the files inside modules folder of.the.same kernel you installed.

if my memory is not betraying me the correct path is: system/library/modules Dont forget to rectify permissions (chmod 644) after overwriting.

Dont forget to click thanks :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] rsalib:
Still no luck. I tried

read/write

read

read

and even 777 all the boxes check and still, wifi errors out.

Its almost like, you cant have working wifi and OC kernel together on stock. haha
[Streak 5 Android Development] garethsimpsonuk:
I upgraded from 1.9 to 1.9.1 and everything was ok for 2 days. Now however I get the "stopped unexpected. please try again" message for around 3 processes. I click "force close" but it seems the processes restart resulting in a loop.

Does anyone know what could be causing this?

Thanks
[Streak 5 Android Development] strvmarv:
unless you're gonna adb logcat to potentionally identify the problem you may have to do a factory reset from the first recovery screen (white)...you could also try a fix permissions from cwmod or streakmod recovs

[Streak 5 Android Development] garethsimpsonuk:
Thanks for the reply. How do I get to that white recovery screen? I have streakmod installed which I assume overwrties the default recovery screen. I believe streakmod also has a factory reset. it is safe to use that?
[Streak 5 Android Development] strvmarv:
when you reboot and hold up/down vol it's the 1st screen that displays...navigate up to factory reset on that screen vs. using the update.zip flash option that takes you to streakmid...might be worth trying a fix permissions in streakmod 1st tho

[Streak 5 Android Development] garethsimpsonuk:
oh right thanks. I've already reset it. Hopefully it wont return.

Thanks
[Streak 5 Android Development] strvmarv:
If I rem correct you can only flash a custom kernel if the rom is deodex'd (sp?), so a stock rom will likely not func if you flash a custom kernel

Sent from my Dell Streak
[Streak 5 Android Development] garethsimpsonuk:
Well I'm using streakdroid 1.9.1 along with the recomended baseband. I havent done anything else and know nothing of custom kernels or deodex.

Internal SD-Card got formated or erased. I checked the card on my linux box and the partitions are there but were empty. I was in the middle of installing 1.9.1 when it happened. Now I'm bricked, can't charge, can't fastboot, can't Vol Up + PlugUSB. Now I keep reading in many of the modaco website that if you can find the img files got the 300mb partition, I believe is 5, then the phone will be able to boot, but I'm not clear on the details. Anyone has info on how to do this? Or where I can find the instructions? I'm not even sure this would be the correct thread, and if it's not then would you be kind and direct me..!

Thanks
[Streak 5 Android Development] rsalib:
Ok. So I deodexed my phone. reflashed the boot.img, put the files in the modules folder for the boot.img, and the ones that are in the system, just in case the other files were modified too.

Nothing! I also changed the permissions, everything!. no love from wifi with a kernel that supports Overclock.

I might just give up unless you know of anything else I'm missing besides the files in the modules folder.

thanks again.
[Streak 5 Android Development] strvmarv:
Any chance you have a tetherable desktop/laptop you could grab some adb logcat output? Have you tried the "back to stock" route with 354 yet (sorry, need to follow your convo back a bit)? I ran 191 oc'd for a few days (running gingerstreak oc'd atm) and had/have no issues with wifi.

It's entirely poss that stock with a custom kernel will just not work. I believe djsteve told me that...

[Streak 5 Android Development] sturmavik:
Format internal SD as empty space. Insert in Streak. Make sure you have streakdroid 1.9.1 on your external SD plus install.txt. Power up and Streak will format internal card and flash. If you search the forums for Dell Streak screen replacement you'll find a thread which describes the process.

StreakDroid 1.9.1
[Streak 5 Android Development] rsalib:
Do you think I also should copy over the libwifiem.so file?

Is that the wifi driver in the libs?

I will try it and let you know if that works.

Thanks for the reply! I am running Clockworkmod recovery 2501. Ill have to work on changing that later on. Have you ran into any other issues with white streak?

Thanks
[Streak 5 Android Development] strvmarv:
I haven't used cwmod for 6 mo or so, seem to recall hearing something about the white streaks being stubborn (u might have to do some googling if u haven't alrdy). Streakmod recovery is brilliant and much easier in my opinion. I highly recommend it...

[Streak 5 Android Development] ebaul:
Ok, but here's the deal as I described on the original post, I can't power on the streak, I can't Vol UP + USB it, the pc won't even recognize it, won't even acknowledge is there, I can't even charge it because nothing happens. It all started when the internal SD card was erased. I have read in multiple forums where the same thing happened to many people who accidentally erase their internal SD card. It gets stuck in erasing cache, then nothing happens more than 30 mins, so we disconnect it from the usb, then bam..no streak. What I keep reading everywhere is that you must restore the files to the internal SD card, and the unit will power on because it will have a boot.img to read, if there are no files in the internal sd card, the unit will not power on, will not fastboot or anything, UNLESS there is a rom installed, which in this case I was in the process of erasing all partitions to get ready to upgrade to 1.9.1. So, I guess what I need are the internal sd card images, which I cannot find anywhere. Bummer huh..!!
[Streak 5 Android Development] aaronv89:
Can someone give me a rundown in the different types of kernels? (volume boost + bad graphics, no volume boost + good graphics, etc) Anyone got a recommendation? Also what is prefmod?

Edit: Also, is there a mirror for the recommended baseband? Or is mine (351) okay?
[Streak 5 Android Development] lordmorphous:
I've never noticed a difference in the graphics with the different options. I think it just makes them compatible with some gameloft games. I don't like volume boost because it seems to remove the middle ground of the volume setting. It seems to go from too low to too high with one click. As far as baseband goes, you're fine with 351. I don't use the recommended one either. I use 354. If you want to change it anyway you can find them all here: http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii

To actually change it, look in the android development section for multi recovery flasher. I think the dev for that app has recently added the ability to flash basebands as well. Although it is generally recommended to flash a complete stock rom instead of just a baseband. If you want to change baseband, do a nandroid backup, flash the recovery for the stock rom you want, flash the stock rom with the pkg file of whatever rom you choose, flash streakmod, then restore your nandroid backup. You won't lose anything that way.
[Streak 5 Android Development] smnc:
The newer ppt kernel is supposed to improve graphics performance, I believe, but breaks some games, including ones from gameloft as well as plants vs. Zombies.

Perfmod is the "performance mod" and I believe is suppossed to make the streak faster and more responsive. It CAN, but doesn't always, cause some stability issues.

I'm running "volnoppt" without perfmod, currently.

Very stable, nice and quick and Plants Vs. Zombies works (mostly)
[Streak 5 Android Development] bluefrog:
Slightly different issue, this one, and I don't know if anyone will know:

There's a new app for remote controlling Canon SLR cameras which requires USB hosting capability. The developer (Chainfire) says it needs 2.3.4 or Honeycomb to work but I was wondering if 1.9.1 with USB hosting enabled would do it?

Or is it not done the same way on this ROM?

I've tried asking on the app thread but didn't even get an answer......
[Streak 5 Android Development] Steeltippin:
OMG I have not ever had this much trouble getting a phone rooted, flashed with a customer recovery and now a custom rom EVER. This White Dell Streak was hell to mod, but after days and days of hard work I am happy to say I have accomplished all of the above and applied this rom. Loving it so far, thanks for all that you put into developing this bad boy. :D
[Streak 5 Android Development] PeteSeiler2010:
That is odd, I own a White Dell Streak, and I have never had problems doing any modding to it. I just went back to stock and rooted and loaded streakmod, then SD 1.9.1 without a hiccup.

I wish that was the case for me, its been a long road getting here.....

+1

I just got a replacement refurb White Streak 5 on AT&T 353.

Download StreakMod 3.2.8 and

fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img

No issues. Running SS 1.3 with nAndroid SS1.2, SD1.9.1, and Stock 353.

I think the initial issue with the White Streak was that Android 1.6 Doughnut had to have a baseband upgrade requiring the QDL tool to get Froyo. That is simply not the case anymore. Functionally, white, black, and red Streaks are all the same now.

Does the PIN screen default to portrait as well as the lock screen if one enables it via the .txt file?
[Streak 5 Android Development] Steeltippin:
In the install.txt I included the entry for Dell Stage, but for some reason when I try to make it my default launcher it keeps force closing. Any idea on how to fix this?

Yes (at least as tested with SS1.3 portrait, but it all works the same way)

Wiped internal SD card

Hello all, does anyone know how to fix my problem without having to send this thing in for repair or replacement?

I have a Dell Streak 5 that I was having no issues at all with the official rom, however I decided to use the 1.9.1 but in the process stupidity stroke and I started formatting all partitions including one where the cache just stood there for more than 20 minutes. Mind you, the rom was erased so there was no rom to boot to either. Well, apparently what I did erased the internal sd-card and when I unplugged and did the Camera button + usb plug, it didn't do anything, computer didnt do anything. I couldn't even do Vol Up + USB plug, not even plugging it to the charger did anything.

Now, as I stated before, I read in many forums where people were able to image their internal sd-card and image a replacement card. I don't want to upgrade the size since it does nothing for me, I just need an image of a card so I can image mine in linux and fix this thing. is out of warranty btw..

Any help would be much appreciated!!

If this is NOT the correct forum, feel free to re-direct me.

Thank you

Edit: I forgot to mention that those who were able to obtain a copy of the image of the card went through the same thing, phone didn't respond to anything including charging. Once they re-image a replacement card, phone was able to boot to recovery. They said there are files on the internal 300mb internal sd-card partition that when you power on the phone if they are not there and you have no rom installed, the phone simply don't boot
[Streak 5 Android Development] sturmavik:
I am pretty sure this is not the case - when I changed out my internal sd to get more space I just put in an empty card and the Streak formats the needed partitions and flashes the rom.

What a great device. In fact in all the flashing and whatnot I've done on the Streak I've never had any unpleasant brick episodes.

StreakDroid 1.9.1
[Streak 5 Android Development] davey818:
Issue i had with installing 1.9.1

i had an issue where i went into streakdroid, flashed with the new 1.9.1 zip, mind you i had 1.9.0 already with zero issues, so of course i do a nandroid backup, i flash to the new rom witht he 191 zip, and then im getting a mount error, saying i can not mount cache and all these errors when i try and do anything, i did a permission fix and a nandroid restore, the first restore failed because of the error, and then i rebooted the device a few more times got back in and the errors were gone somehow, i assumed that i corrupted the file system or something, but i guess i did my nandroid back up again, and now im stuck with 190 because im to afraid to try it again with fear of bricking my device, anyone ever had an issue like this?
[Streak 5 Android Development] bluefrog:
Did you factory reset from the DELL recovery after installing? I'd try that if you haven't already.

Im on 1.9.1 without issue - apart from I think perfmod causing a flip-out a few weeks ago.

my install.txt contained noapps, noswype (can't stand swype) and volnoppt

I'm hoping to be going home to a new 4gb class10 micro SD tonight. If so I'm going for a clean re-install with new internal card.

This time i'm changing to novolnoppt as well, because something weird happens to bluetooth calls with the vol boost mod installed, as far as I can work out.

I'm also keen to experiment with the USB hosting, although it doesn't look like the DSLR remote beta is going to work unfortunately. boooooooooo ;)

1.9.1 is my favourite StreakDroid so far - i'll see how it goes with all the fiddling about this time round............
[Streak 5 Android Development] Steeltippin:
I have an issue. When I added my options into the install.txt, I choose portrait as my default and did not choose a specific launcher. After I flashed 1.9.1 I went and found Dell Stage because the one from this install kept force closing. For some reason even after specify portrait, my phone boots up into landscape.

Now I have read in other posts that it will switch eventually to portrait, but that has not been the case for me. I then went in and changed my display to "Auto Rotate" or whatever it is caused, that worked for the time being. Works fine on my home screen but when I go to the app drawer its phucked up. For example if I click on messaging it will open up something other than messaging. Same thing happens when I click on other apps, it does not open that app, but so other random app. Also some apps that I click on sends me straight back to my homescreen/desktop. Does anyone have a fix for this?

EDIT: NVM, seems to be working just fine now. I was getting lots of lag, reflashed and now I am getting a 1787 in quadrant NICE!!!
[Streak 5 Android Development] ebaul:
Sorry buddy, confirmed by Dell Tech support, if you erase the files on the internal SD card and there is no ROM on the streak to repair the internal SD card, your streak is simply dead. Everything needed for the streak to boot if there is no ROM to boot to is located on the internal SD card, so yes, if you erase the internal SD card and all the partitions at the same time and unplug the phone, it just won't boot. I spoke with Albert from USA Texas Tech Support for mobile and he explained to me what I've done. Unfortunately is out of warranty and they can't do anything because I tampered with the original programming, which I already knew. So, I'm just out of luck until I can find someone with an original internal 2gb sd-card...!!
[Streak 5 Android Development] tazzz811:
Just one concern

1. All applications that requires superuser access sometimes go into black screen then i need to manual FC that application so i could run it again. (ie Root Explorer, Battery Calibration, SetCPU, etc)

---> Is there any fix for this issue?
[Streak 5 Android Development] krazman325:
Actually, sturmavik is correct, as long as you have a ROM on the external sd card. I switched out my internal card several months ago and replaced it with a new 4GB card. I installed it blank. Turned on the phone and booted into recovery, installed the SimpleStreak ROM I had zipped on the external card. The Streak "repaired" the internal card and everything worked perfectly. There is a thread on MoDaCo that gives great instructions how to do this.

I would suggest that if you do not have a copy of a ROM.zip on your external card, download a ROM of your choice (stock, StreakDroid, SimpleStreak, etc.) onto your external card through your pc. Then follow the instructions at MoDaCo. It may work! You have nothing to loose except your time.

BTW, Dell Tech Support knows

NOTHING

EXACTLY!!!
[Streak 5 Android Development] ebaul:
OK, OH My, here we go again....YOU said it, as long as you have a rom on the SD AND if you DID boot into recovery YOU DID NOT wipe the partitions on your internal SD, meaning you can still boot the phone even if you wipe the rom, as long as you DON'T wipe the internal SD card. I don't think you guys are reading my post, AGAIN I WIPED ALL PARTITIONS ... ALL MEANS EVERYTHING, ALL, TODO, EVERY SINGLE BIT OF INFO from the partitions, therefore there wouldn't be a recovery partition to boot into, now would there? I don't mean to sound rude, but I keep explaining that I wiped the phone and apparently on my own stupidity I wiped the recovery partition along with the internal SD card partitions...how? I have no clue because I was following a post on Modaco to wipe the darn thing. So, when you wipe all partitions, as long as you have the boot image or images on your internal -sd card the phone will still boot, but if you did what I did, then you need to either recover, or replace the internal sd with one that has the fiiles necessary for the phone to boot into factory recovery so that you can fastboot and install your own recovery along with custom roms and whatnot. I know you all trying to help, but when I help someone I make sure I READ their entire post so as to not make them more frustrated than they already are. On every post I have written that I wiped all the partitions, including ones on the internal -sd card which makes my situation different, making QDL tool useless to me until I can find a copy of an internal SD card image so I can restore mine..

I do apologize for sounding like a **** head, but this is like the 27th post where the same thing happens, I get many many replies saying "oh just put the zip on your sd and it should be find", well I can't, I can't boot the phone on fastboot, nor can I get the phone to Vol Up + USB plug, and if you can't do that then yes phone is bricked, however when you hit any of the power options (pwr bttn, usb cable plugged to usb and phone, usb + vol up, hold camera + usb cable, hold camera + power, hold vol down plus power) the phone is looking for a boot file, either on the rom, or on the internal SD. It does NOT boot with any images on the external sd card, it must first find a boot source, if it doesn't it simply does NOTHING.
[Streak 5 Android Development] krazman325:
Wow...nice rant!

Yes, we are trying to help you. YOU didn't read carefully. What is the difference between your completely wiped and unpartitioned card and my NEW OUT OF THE PACKAGE sd card. Both are formatted and both have no partitions. Stick it in your phone. Put a ROM zip on your EXTERNAL card in the Root Directory any way you can. then power on the phone and try to get into recovery pressing the power button immediately followed by holding both volume buttons BEFORE it shows the Dell logo. At least give it a try. It does work.

Did you read the first 2 posts in the thread at MoDaCo I referred to above? It gives an excellent step by step explanation with pictures and screen shots. There is one picture of the Streak formatting and partitioning the INTERNAL sd card before self installing the new ROM.

That's it. I'm not going to get yelled at or insulted any further just for trying to be helpful. Someone else can take over. I'm out.
[Streak 5 Android Development] marvin02:
He probably didn't just wipe the internal SD Card, he probably wiped all of the internal memory. Most likely with a fastboot command?
[Streak 5 Android Development] ebaul:
THANK YOU, yes...that is exactly what I did and that's exactly what I was told, that I could not rescue the phone unless I find an internal SD card that hasn't been wiped or changed. Finally someone lights up the party!!!!
