[Dell Streak 7] whoknowes:
I read an article on Androidcentral.com a few days ago, I think it was an old article since I found it by doing a serch on Google.. anyhow, it stated the only Streak's getting the Honeycomb update would be the wi-fi versions.. the 4G Streak's as of yet were not scheduled to get the update....
[Dell Streak 7] John_2k2:
I think a HC update will come though I believe it took this long cause of android 3.2 that supports lower screen res like the new acer tab that has a 1024 x 600 display while before a honeycomb screen required 1280 x 800 so maybe honeycomb will support 800 x 480
[Dell Streak 7] Nyflyboi:
I just got off the phone with tmobile and the sales rep stated that the ds7 is not discontinued. Also spoke to a tech who states that the ds7 is getting the hc update theyre just waiting for dell to release it. Tech stated as soon as dell sends out the update to them they will send it out through OTA. So hey I have my fingers crossed I hope this is true..... Come on DELL dont drop the ball on this plz.
[Dell Streak 7] rvbarton:
I consistently get this message as well when I try to update on my wifi only Dell Streak 7.
[Dell Streak 7] keith.valdez:
You have to wait until Dell sends you a notification.:D
[Dell Streak 7] H0daddy:
We could be close folks!

Yesterday, Scott over on the streak smart forum replied with this:

Ordered my Dell Streak 7 from dell.com on August 12th, delivery date was set at 9/1 with 2 day shipping. I chatted with dell mobility support today to see what the holdup was and they said it was for "engineering changes" to make sure dell customers got a better device. He said they are scheduled to start shipping out on 8/29. Not sure if this is the honeycomb update or if there are more changes in store, the rep wouldn't say more.
[Dell Streak 7] bsoplinger:
Or it could just be Dell-speak for "we don't have any in stock at the local warehouse and are awaiting a new shipment" also. Not that I completely mistrust the Dell reps, I'm sure I could throw them at least 8" :-)
[Dell Streak 7] khaytsus:
Or some other cost reduction..
[Dell Streak 7] Donmotobike:
dell streak 7 #2 not so good list

Or it could be that next fate of dell streak 7 will be the same as dell streak 5 - made it #2 list of the most likely to have the same faith as HP Touchpad...lesson here don't hold dear to something that will be obsolete next few months....:rolleyes:

With S-OFF now complete, can we flash google video apks on to our E3D's yet?
[HTC EVO 3D] darkflame:
it works well I think it does. LOL

I went to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1056793 and downloaded alternate 3, flashed via recovery, then went to http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13976634&postcount=414 and flashed that via recovery. Signed into gtalk and my video worked. I saw myself via pc gmail gvideo chat. But my desktop had no webcam. so i'll try on my gf's mac pro and get back to you.

Ok, I just tried it it works great!...smooth on 3G too! damnnnnnnnnnnn this blows skype into the water man!

THANK YOU Alpharev and team win! you just justified the reason for buying this damn phone! :D
[HTC EVO 3D] marc.ientilucci:
on your second link - did u flash the attachment or the one in the post text?
[HTC EVO 3D] shark1987:
how functional is it for you guys?

I tried one where everything worked great but I noticed that others couldn't tell that I was video capable so I would have to initialize every video chat.

Then others that was fixed but the video was upside down.
[HTC EVO 3D] BDawgTrap:
Just tried doing that and it works great! :) although i still cant figure out how to switch camera's and that would be nice. but streaming is pretty clear, especially compared to qik / tango / fring.... :)
[HTC EVO 3D] shark1987:
If you go to the main thread one of the attachments is talk1.3.nowifi.v2-signed.zip. This is the only one that has worked correctly for me but it does not give you the option to use the rear camera. All of the others I tried flip the video vertically (and put the display in 3D mode when using the rear camera). But I also noticed that when first only installed that it wouldn't show up on other computers that I had video. I think what fixed that was installing a new GoogleServicesFramework.apk from gtalk1.3b.ffc.signed.zip.
[HTC EVO 3D] marc.ientilucci:
i have tried multiple versions... even the 1.3 tool from the market, most result in some type of error (especially ones that allow switching to rear camera) im guessing since we have dual cameras gtalk doesnt know what one to choose, and forces phone to think its in "3D" mode.

MagnusRagnarok (maker of Bl00dyB3AST-3d MOD) pointed me to MoDaCo version

Pros:

-Works on 3G or Wi-Fi

-when i tested with Gmail, gmail saw my phone as video capable

Cons:

-When installing, after getting SU access, it held up on "rebooting" i had to MANUALLY reboot for it to finish.

-NO REAR CAMERA CAPABILITY

other things i noticed that arent really pro's or cons

-after reboot, had to sign into google services again

-works in landscape/portrait

-using the text feature works

all in all i think ill stick with this version even tho there's no rear camera

Unfortunately I am not allowed to post links since I am too new of a user.

(It'd be great if someone could edit a link in)

I once asked about a similar port on the back of my old VN250 dumbphone over on the SparkFun IRC channel at freenode, I recall them mentioning something about it being there so manufacturers could easily write an image to a large number of devices. Is that true? If so/not could this be used to facilitate hacking the device?

I might be able to hack up a connector if I knew what kind of jack that was.

Google it.

I am almost certain that this is a "u.fl" interface. If you look on a Wireless NIC you will see the same connector. This connector is for a wireless antenna. You could try connecting an antenna to It. I have one and will tell you the results.:)
[KIN One Software Development] spunker88:
Its for connecting an external antenna, many phones have this somewhere but its usually hard to find and easy to damage if you mess around with it.

Hello, I want to remove all things on the SD-card what isn't necessary.

So I want to know what files you need on your 2.3.3 (official) xperia x10 Sd-Card to start up your phone.

Thanks.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaeljordam:
No file is necessary (except yours PERSONAL FILES). There is just one folder called ANDROID, but if you delete this, ANDROID OS will create automatic it again.

Ps: if you created recovery backups, there is a folder called XRECOVERY, very important to you, not for ANDROID OS.

Not sure If this is the right section but,where can I find the stock files for the fascinate 4g t959 since a wrong kernal was flashed on. Looked all over the internet but to no avail i could not find the stock files. CAn anybody help
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enrygie:
Can anyone point me to the firmware .BUMP
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vcmerritt:
T959P Alternative Firmware with TMobile

I fixed mine by flashing it to TMobile Galaxy S 4G:

Created Tar containing the following files fromT959VUVKH2_TMB stock firmware: (T959P to TMobile Galaxy S 4G.tar)

cache.rfs

data.rfs

factoryfs.rfs

modem.bin

zImage

Used the following with Odin

PIT=Hawk_Sidekick_VibrantPlus_831.pit

PDA=T959P to TMobile Galaxy S 4G.tar (created as per above)

Entered Download mode and clicked start and voila my bricked t959p was a TMobile Galaxy S 4g.

After this you can root it with the stock+Voodoo-T959VKH2.tar file. Can't find stock telus files and Kies won't detect the phone after so until someone can provide stock files no going back. Better than a brick though and everything works.

Easy Unlock after rooting too just by searching the NVram dump with a hex editor.

Is anyone able to sync your Facebook contacts with your Nexus S 4G using the Facebook android app?

I own both the EVO 3D and the Nexus S 4G. The EVO 3D does sync contacts using the Facebook android app. In the Nexus S 4G I don't even have the option within the Facebook app to choose sync.

For some reason the NS4G doesn't. Look for a free app in the market called Facebook Sync seems to work well.

[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
just ordered my desire s :D (finally after a 2 month wait!)

looking for any reccomendations for screen protectors?

prefably want a hard wearing long lasting one.

anyone use the official htc ones? any good?

or should i settle for the full body coverage invisible shield? (used them in the past)

cheers!
[HTC Desire S] saintlee:
i use the one included on otterbox, its actually very good, still has not a single scratch since i bought it 2 months ago
[HTC Desire S] Deleted member 2496007:
Same goes for the protectors included with Case-Mate cases. They feel as smooth as the glass they protect which I think is important. The cheap ones just add friction, and are a pig to apply without fluff bubbles!

Case-mate ones can also be bought separately with out a case.
[HTC Desire S] m0rphh:
I don't use screen protectors at all. Desire-S has Gorilla glass on top of the screen.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
cheers mate! any idea how the casemate protector holds out against the official htc ones?

i'm deciding between the two :)
[HTC Desire S] WWWeed:
That is a good point. Is gorilla glass good enough to not require a screen protector?

I have one on my desire s to be safe rather than sorry but I'd be interested to know what people think....
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Yeh haha my other phones . Tab . Sgs2, both have gorilla glass too. But i still always buy a screen protector for them.

I dont also trust these things!so any reccomendations?

There are some really cheap ones available that come with generic cases, but i wonder how long they will hold out for
[HTC Desire S] dloulou:
I bought such a case, the case is ok but the sceenprotector is not good.
[HTC Desire S] saintlee:
well, i know one guy who doesnt put in a screen protector, one day he simply puts his phone in his pocket with a bunch of keys, and.....a small scratch.
[HTC Desire S] superzilence:
I bought them from china through eBay! 5 pieces for 4 bugs
[HTC Desire S] Deleted member 2496007:
I tried the official htc ones and they both ended up in the bin! For some reason the type of film they use is different, as the act of peeling the backing off super-charges the thing up with static. Every dust particle in the room rushes to stick to it. Had no such problems with the several case mate ones I've applied.
[HTC Desire S] m0rphh:
My Desire S always in my jeans pocket (just single phone, no keys, coins, etc). And my phone has not a single scratch after 4 month of use.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Cheers mate :)

I think i shall settle for a imnisible shield full protector, as i like to use my phone bare without any casing :)

(occasionally using a case)

Just waiting for the phone to arrive tommorow morning!!!
[HTC Desire S] jepe63:
I bought the original HTC on ebay , very cheap about 5€ , in the shop they are 10€ !

This is a thick film , very scratch resistant !!! easy to apply , no air bubbles whatsoever, very clear film and me very happy.

Not using a film is looking for trouble, okay, it's gorilla glass , but i hear of people who managed to scratch this to, so spend a little money and keep the screen scratchfree !!:D
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
cheers mate! will consider your opinions :)

i dunno if i want to shell out on the 16 quid invisible shield just yet..
[HTC Desire S] stevennekens:
brando ultra clear.

it will probably last longer than your phone.

You can buy it quite cheap from a company called wexim, in France (google it)

I have been using it for years now, on all my PDAs and phones. They are reallt great.
[HTC Desire S] acida_adica:
Anyone tried 3M protection?
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Anyone use invisible shield?
[HTC Desire S] zeekiz:
I have the invisible shield on my HTC Desire (Looking to get the Desire S in the next month or so), the invisible shield is good, but I have been sort of disappointed by it.

I had another phone in my pocket one night (Nokia 6300) and the camera part must have pressed against the screen and has left a permanent indentation on the invisible shield screen protector. It is a good protector, but also it is the most tedious protector I have ever applied, you really do have to "stretch" the protector when applying to get it to sit nicely.

Its your choice, but I would really think about it for a little while longer before you put your money down on an invisible shield protector.

As far as what I've read though, I've got a feeling my protection plan when it comes to the Desire S will involve a Case-Mate barely there case ... when they're in stock again from Australian suppliers.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Cheers mate :)

Yeh, i have used the universal invisible shiel on my tg01 before (i custom cut it for the screen)

Had it on since september, has lasted very well, no peelings anywhere, but it has scratches on it :(

So i guess they aren't really 'indestructable, scratch proof' as claimed on their website!

But they still hold out very well compared to other standard screen protectors.

When you had it on your desire, was it still possible to use a case aswell? Did it add much thickness?

I wouldnt mind if there was another type of protector, mainly, i want to protect the back of the desire (aluminium casing etc) from scrathes.

The only manufacturer that offers a thin/screen protector is invible shield.

Are there any other manufacturers that make films/screen guards for the back of the desire s??

Thanks for your contribution!
[HTC Desire S] Toje2:
my phone sits in a pelican i1015 all day and I still use a screen protector. The pelican is an awesome case but my old desire used to sit in one of theses and still managed to get broken and scratched. Not the cases fault, you just need to take it out once and a while.
[HTC Desire S] zeekiz:
olyloh6696,

I haven't actually tried putting another case on top of my Desire, so I can't tell you. But don't worry, I found the same thing, the screen protector has this abnormal long white scratch on it (quiet visible, along with numerous others which can be seen at obscure times), which only came about after using an alcoholic wipe on it, so I don't know whether it was my own fault or what.

I currently only have the front screen protector and the back protector on, unfortunately after about 3 months of use (and possible incorrect application) the sides started peeling at the top, which I then removed them. I am pleased knowing that the back is protected at all times, it is a good "body" protector, but not a screen (due to scratches and glare).

I will admit though, I am tempted to order the invisible shield for the Desire S, but I want a little more protection this time around particularly on the sides of the device, which I'm hoping the Case-Mate barely there will at least provide me (ordered it last night).

There is another company which offers a protector similar to the invisible shield, seen it on either this forum or the HTC Desire part of the forums, had a quick look but I can't seem to find the thread, but that company offered matte versions and even coloured versions which looked very appealing.

Toje2,

That case looks as though it could survive a nuclear fallout haha.
[HTC Desire S] Toje2:
Thats the idea lol.

Its got a cheap screen protector on it, but its great.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Finally took the plunge and bought the full invisible shield for £16.99 at carphone warehouse.

Still out though, so when I get home, will post screenshots after I've installed it :)
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Here, some pictures of the invisible shield full coverage. Will post more pictures of it on the phone itself later!
[HTC Desire S] Jan_Joris:
I use the official one and so does my girl, and we are both happy with it.

It seems to do its work quite nicely so i can't give any bad words about it on this moment.

Maybe after a couple of months i'll know if they really last long, so i'll get back on that one.
[HTC Desire S] grav86:
I use the one that came with my casemate case no problems with it
[HTC Desire S] bronx:
I prefer http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3x-Screen...801275?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3cba8c66bb

previously used with htc hd2 - great clarity, highly scratch resistant (and as a building contractor I know what I'm talking about) and easy to apply. price is also on the low side imho.
[HTC Desire S] TechnicGeek:
Clarivue And Case Mate

I have bought Case Mate Tough and generally pleased with it:

The Good:

Good protection (fiber cover with shock absorbent silicone)

The Bad:

Degrades Wi-Fi signal on some smartphones including mine

A little bulky but not a big deal and i think less bulkier than Otterbox

Conclusion: HTC Desire S' aluminium case+Case Mate Tough = Super protection

I have bought Clarivue Ultra-Clear and generally pleased with it:

The Good:

Screen is clear and installing was easy

The Bad:

Fingerprints

Non anti-glare but this is not a big deal since i just raise brightness level to 50%
[HTC Desire S] zeekiz:
Bought the HTC Desire S the other day, also received the case-mate barely there case with the bonus screen protector.

The case I would highly recommend for anyone that wants a slim profile on their phone with a touch of protection. There's no real downside to it.

The screen protector I'm sort of disappointed with, it works well I can see the screen, but the disappointing part is the fact the top and the bottom weren't cut to fit the screen (will post pictures later), also the fact that it feels as though the screen protector literally moves up and down in my pocket.

Overall its good, the case is absolutely flawless, the screen protector on the other hand is a little bit of a let down.
[HTC Desire S] :
Its a production line fault! I had the same thing with my case mate. The screen protector clearly cut for a different screen. I got in touch with case mate and they posted me a replacement. Fits perfectly now.
[HTC Desire S] zeekiz:
Oh sweet, what information did they request from you? Got to admit if you hadn't have posted that I would have just lived with it, but I might actually try and get in contact with them now, thank you!
[HTC Desire S] :
I provided proof of purchase (my order confirmation email) and as I noticed prior to fitting it, I posted back the protector. Shouldn't matter if you've already fitted yours. Just take a picture of the poor fit and include that in the email. Ask if perhaps they've put the wrong one in the box, and say you were only aware something was wrong once fitted.

They were very reasonable with me, so I'm sure you'll be ok. You just have to prove you are not a cheeky git trying to blag a free screen protector. :)
[HTC Desire S] Starfine:
It seems that there's no need to use screen protector. The glass of the screen is very strong.
[HTC Desire S] amonrei:
Yep no need screen protector but you still need to be careful not to put your phone in your pocket with coins and keys. :)

4 months later my screen is still scratchless. Just full of smudges that's easy to clean. ;)
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Is the barely there case worth it?

Would something like this be better based on the cost of the case mate?

[HTC Desire S] bail.de:
i have this phone for 2 month now, never thought of a screen protector.

i don't think i will get one, the screen is still looking like it did on the first day!
[HTC Desire S] :
You are better off getting case mate. That case you showed in the link is a pup. It comes in two parts, held together by 4 flimsy clips. Drop the phone and the thing springs apart and leaves your phone unprotected as it skids across the floor.
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
thanks. i was just wondering as i consider myself to be quite a butterfingers (had the phone for 2 months and dropped it about 5 times on solid concrete) which is why the case mate looked good as it kept a slim profile compared to something like the otterbox which looks really bulky but then some of the reviews said the fact it doesn't cover the whole phone can be a problem.
[HTC Desire S] vankox:
I just ordered some Martin Fields. They've been getting the best reviews so far. Will report back.
[HTC Desire S] -Maarten:
I too don't use a screen protector. It inhibits the user experience IMO.
[HTC Desire S] decoyknox:
I have the Martin Fields Overlay Plus screen protector and it is THE ****ing **** guys. I'm going to do a review of it soon.
[HTC Desire S] mimirom:
Hi,

there actually are tiny microscopic scratches on the screen after 3 weeks or so. Hardly visible, but they're there.

I'm trying the original HTC protector, looks and feels ok so far.

As to compromised user experience, for me personally comfort means being able to throw my Desire into the glove box with other stuff and being completely easy about it, cause I know that I'm not going to get any scratches.

I also like the somewhat robust look the phone gets with the screen protector.
[HTC Desire S] Curious!:
how about SkinOmi? Has anyone tried it : http://www.skinomi.com/htc-desire-s-skin-protector.html ? ?
