[A7 General] alicez:
Just came back from Staples and noticed they were selling Dell 7" Streak for $299.98. It comes with Android 2.2 (Froyo), upgradable to Android 3.0 Honeycomb, AND 16GB storage.

Everything appears same as my A7 (from ShopNBC) but the 16GB storage is much larger. Is that true?

Is that the only difference that would make the Dell Streak a better buy?

Did I make a mistake in buying the A7 instead of the Dell Streak?

Has anyone compared?

P.S. Since the battery will only last about 4 hours and cannot be replaced, I wonder if there is any external power pack available. Does anyone know?
[A7 General] netstat_EVO:
you've had your a7 for about 6 months now right?

isn't it a little late for buyer's remorse at this point?

there will always be something newer and better out there.
[A7 General] 5[Strogino]:
Dell Streak 7 has small advantage over eLocity A7

1. Flash (Streak 7 has 16 GB)

2. Back-side camera

3. Gorilla Glass screen with multitouch

4. Streak7 has model with 3G/4G and GPS (more $ )

That's all...

Streak7 (and A7) has bad battery, common TN-screen, small resolution, old Android version.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJEvans:
I've read all of hte dock threads, but can't find anyone that may have the same issue as I do.

Here's the history. I was running Calk/Clem, and could watch movies on my TV via the dock's HDMI connection. Everything looked brilliant, nice and crisp.

I decided to try out a HC rom, and went with Gtabcomb. I docked it and tried to watch a video, but the quality was pretty poor. it was pixelated extremely bad. The image on the tablet, though, was beautiful, comparitively.

Figuring that it might have something to do with the rom, and lack of acceleration, I decided to go back to a Froyo rom again. This time, I chose BC, which I had been on before, but didn't have the dock at the time. I, once again, docked it, and attempted to watch a movie, but it too was pixelated.

I flashed Clem's Kernel, thinking that it may have something to do with Pershoots Kernels (which are run on both BC and Gtabcomb) No go, still pixelated.

Wiped dalvik, wiped cache, wipe data/factory reset, reset permissions, repartitioned, flashed Calk/clem again, thinking it will be all right now, but nope, my videos still look perfectly fine on the gtablet, but are pixelated on the TV. They looked absolutely beautiful before, but not anymore. Even the home screens are pixelated, now.

I've tried Rockplayer (the original player when all was fine, software encoding, I get no sound when using hardware encoding) Moboplayer, stock movie player, "video player" that was in the Calk/Clem removed apps folder. Not one of them will play the videos properly on the TV, yet they look wonderful on the tablet itself.

Anyone have any ideas why my dock has started to transfer in a lower resolution than it had previously? I've changed no settings on my TV, and everything else plays fine through it (PC, WII, DVDs, Fios)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aabbondanza:
A few questions come to mind! Are you sure it's not the movies? Are you using anything different to encode the movies? At what resolution are you encoding the them?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJEvans:
I thought of that too. I don't actually encode any of them. I just ehem, <find> them online. Most are AVI movies. I still had one that I watched prior to the resolution messing up. It looked fine before, and doesn't now. Additionally, it's not just the videos, it's the home screen, the lock screen...everything is pixelated.

I was planning on editing the OP as well. I tried starting simple, and switched out the HDMI cable...It's not that, both cables lead to same results.

Could something have gone wacky with the dock itself, perhaps?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aabbondanza:
Does the TV detect the input (output from the dock) as 1080p? Have you tried manualy checking/switching display modes on the TV to see if any make a difference or maybe connecting to another TV.

Also. it is the Tegra2 that does the hardware upconvert from the native 1024x600 resolution to the 1080p (1920x1080) output. There are a couple of entries in build.prop that shouldn't change but you can take a look just to make sure...they are persist.tegra.dpy5.mode.width=1920 & persist.tegra.dpy5.mode.height=1080.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juanaraya92679:
This happens to me using the HDMI cable for the gTablet. The homescreen is pixelated, movies are also but they are stil watchable. I've tried 2 tvs and same results on both.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJEvans:
just checked build.prop, and both of those lines exist...

edit: oh yeah, and I'm poor...only 1 TV available...I have tried changing TV settings with the same results, pixellation...I'm so confused. I wouldn't be surprised if it had been happening all along, but this is a new development, it's weird.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
Try this, TJ:

Edit /system/lib/egl/egl.cfg to have these lines:

0 0 android
0 1 tegra
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJEvans:
they already exist...hmmm
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
Use Android's software renderer then:

0 1 android
0 0 tegra

Then, try switching between the Tegra renderer and Android rendered for display 1 (display 0, I believe, is the tablet screen--display 1 might be the HDMI output):

1 0 android
1 1 tegra

and

1 1 android
1 0 tegra
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJEvans:
0 1 android
0 0 tegra

didn't change anything

1 0 android
1 1 tegra

Lost visual at 3rd splash screen when rebooting...had to reflash rom to get it back

1 1 android
1 0 tegra

didn't attempt becuase of what happened above, lol

edit: Is there a chance that something is wrong within the dock itself? Just curious, as it seems that the tablet is functioning properly,as is the TV, and the HDMI cable...the only variable not questioned so far has been the dock itself...
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
Yeah, that was my screw-up. I was in a hurry yesterday and I didn't check. Try these settings:

0 0 android
0 1 tegra
1 0 android
1 1 tegra

It enables the tegra HW renderer (which is the only one available going by the libs in /system/lib/egl) for both the LCD and the dock.

And, you don't need to reflash the ROM, just create a file with "0 0 tegra" in it (the GtabComb default egl.cfg file) and adb push the file into /system/lib/egl/egl.cfg. That will stop the boot loop.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJEvans:
yeah, I've never done the ADB thing before, and I've honestly NEVER had any experience with anything Linux...so, trust me, reflashing was probably the easiest thing that I could do, lol

Edit:

so, in your previous post, should all 4 lines be in the file?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
Yeah, give it a try. And, if that doesn't work, I give up and you'll have to seek a higher power.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aabbondanza:
Also running Calk+Celmv6. Just got my dock in today. I believe that is just the way it is. Home screen & all non hardware accelerated video are very grainy. Viewed mine on a 42". May look better on a smaller TV but probably not a whole lot better. Colors are very overdriven compared to what shows on the gTab.

Watching Netflix was kind of like watching an old VHS that you had recorded from the TV.

Played a converted DVD through Rockplayer in both soft decode & hardware decode. Soft decode was grainy as well. Hardware decode looks MUCH better.

No problem with sound.

Didn't try Moboplayer since on my gTab doesn't play well with it...automatically reduces the volume to 50% and won't go any higher (even though it says it at 100%). I can verify this by exiting Moboplayer & turning up the volume which is at the 50% levelo

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJEvans:
I get the same thing with mobo player and sound. With rockplayer, if I choose hardware decoding, I get no sound whatsoever, not just through the dock, but when run undocked, I don't get any sound at all.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aabbondanza:
I had some problems with the intial version of Rockplayer that was on v6, especially after I installed Remote Media Center (RMC). RMC said it only works with Mobo & Rock Lite so I downloaded Rockplayer Lite & it worked. The version of Lite was newer so I looked for newer version. Downloaded v1.7.2 and now no problems with rockplayer, even with RMC so uninstalled Lite.

[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ad2003:
Hi!

First: I know, the HTC Legend has a buildin feature, to turn off the screen while in call.

The problem (like already discussed in the forum, but not solved) is, that the screen gets black even before the phone reaches my ear - and until the call ends, the screen stays black, even when I hold it in front of me for example to check a calender/contact in the phone.

It's definetly a lightsensor problem, found on many legends.

My fix till now: Use a finger to overlay the lightsensor (left from the HTC logo) - the screen appears again.

But that is quite annoying, so is there not a fix somehow? Something that makes the sensor more/less sensible?

It seems that, when I am outside in the sunlight, it's no problem, but when the room is slightly lighten, screen stays black....

Any solution would be great!

Don't know if it's just an issue on my phone or what but I noticed an issue with the Trigger 3.2 Rom's android market. I've had the Rom for quite some time now and love it but this issue driving me nuts. One of the Rom's features is a black themed android market or "black market" v2.3.6 and it looks great except for this white hue seen below apps information tab (as seen in the attached picture). Is there any way to change this white hue to black to give the words a fade out effect?

[G2 and Desire Z General] ChristianFS1:
hey there !

the title is somewhat self-explanatory, but i'll just have a go at clearing up what i mean.

you see, hildon is, of course, the ui used in maemo 5- i.e the n900.

except for some proprietary coding done by nokia . other than that,- open-source. is it possible?

but apart from that, hildon is fully functional. i stumbled upon a website, "showing off" their new "Cordia HD", which is basically Meego (!) using hildon instead of the somewhat crappy meego ui.

wouldn't it be cool to see hildon reborn as a launcher on android market, or even as a custom rom or patch. that would be really cool! :D

trust me, i would've done it myself if it weren't because i REALLY suck at coding. cant do anything.

this thread i mostly made to give some attention to the matter, and to share any progress, if anyone have done anything like it... or ever will...
[G2 and Desire Z General] Crashdamage:
Hildon-on-Android would be a HUGE project. I'm not aware of such a project in the works.

Realistically, if like me you really like the Hildon UI you only have 2 phone choices:

1. A used N900. (cheap)

2. A new N9. (expensive)

But you can dual-boot Maemo and Android on a N900.

Sent from HTC G2
[G2 and Desire Z General] ChristianFS1:
Well, i know it would require a lot of re-engineering, i've understood that for quite a while ;)

I was actually gonna buy a n900, but went for the desire z instead. Half because n900 is so choppy 18(!) mm. And because desire z is faster, with the "cool hinge".

Are you sure about that with n9? It runs meego, and the standard ui is qtor gtk i recall, am i right? :)

As i said in my first post, this thread was mainly to stir everything up a bit. Cheers :D

Download that file. (it's TWRP recovery). Rename it to PG86IMG.zip. (if you're on windows, remember that the '.zip' extension won't show, and is already there. So just rename it PG86IMG). Then place the file on the main directory of your sd card. Shut your phone off, and boot into the bootloader. It will scan and find the PG86IMG.zip, then ask you to update. Press volume up to say yes. It will finish. Then reboot. Then shut phone off and boot back to bootloader. Select the 'recovery' option from the bootloader menu. You should then successfully boot into recovery.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] encrypti0n:
Cant you just flash the PD15IMG, then once you have stock (but still have s-off) get visionary and temp root, then:

ON YOUR PC or Terminal Emulator

(YOU NEED gfree)

Unzip gfree_06.zip to a place on your computer/sdcard. Open a terminal or command window, navigate to where the files are on your computer/phone, and type:

$ adb push gfree /data/local/tmp/gfree

$ adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/gfree

gfree should now be in your phone at /data/local/tmp

IN THE ROOT SHELL (in the first terminal/command) : Now run:

# /data/local/tmp/gfree -s on -c T-MOB010

# sync

Remove the PD15IMG.zip and the tools from the phome:

# rm /sdcard/PD15IMG.zip

# rm /data/local/tmp/gfree

Disconnect your phone from USB and power it down.

Boot into hboot by holding <Vol-Down> while powering on.

Well its might look difficult but if you follow through the tutorial, it is really easy. And i have no plans for video right now but if i get a lot of requests, ill make one :)

Well yes, this method will work if you havent replaced your part7bin with another one found on xda already. But if you have replaced it, like i did, you will have to hex edit the part7bin to restore your imei number. But thanks for pointing it out :D

[G2 and Desire Z General] Nospin:
No drain here guys on RC1. The new maps has some problems, but no drain so far.
[G2 and Desire Z General] trjcasper:
This is related to Tmobile's towers being upgraded. Turn off 3g/4g data and the battery will last longer, only toggle on data specifically when you need it and shut it back off. Ugly work around, i know, but it'll get you through until T mobile corrects the issue. It seems to be affecting other HTC phones too, they don't play nice with the new tower upgrades. This is a regional issue as some towers get upgraded before others.
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
Tap on the graph of your battery use. Is your "Awake" line solid? If so, your phone isn't sleeping and that could be your issue. It definitely could be some kind of radio issue with your device, sounds like that is common.
[G2 and Desire Z General] skyoffreedom:
wow, i think your battery have problem, if you still keep it may cause harm for your device. You try another battery yet??? it may fix that
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
I don't think this is isolated to the G2, T-Mobile, or CM7. I think its solely related to Maps/Navigation, and maybe some hardware component of our phone.

I have a Desire Z, on AT&T, on Virtuous Unity, and I had a problem with this last Wednesday (July 27), the day the latest version was released. I was traveling, used Navigation, then didn't touch my phone overnight. I think the phone was pretty close to fully charged, and it dropped to stone cold dead in maybe 7 hours (or less, don't actually know when it died). I normally get great battery life, and have never seen drain anywhere close to this in the 8 months I've had this phone. Typically I get close to 48 hours on a single charge, with moderate use.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jorenko:
I hadn't seen this until today. I went to lunch with 80% battery, listening to podcasts in the car and reading google reader at the restaurant. I returned to 15% battery. A 5 minute trip away from my desk drained that to 0% and earned me an auto-shutdown just as I got back.

As for Maps, I got that update days ago and haven't seen any issues until just now, so I don't think that's it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] eioous:
I did a complete wipe, reflashed my ROM, kernel (rmk v3), and radio and only had a 16% drop last night from 100%. I think it happened after I flashed UnityV4 kernel, so i guess ill see how this plays out.

[G2 and Desire Z General] chewy106:
I was on Virtuous Unity v1.0 when it started for me last week. It drains from 100% to dead in ~6 hours while sitting unused overnight. Factory reset, wiped davlik and cache, removed Maps, got one charge use of 13.5 hours then back to dying in 6. Again wiped, loaded Unity 1.25 (haven't switched to DesireZ hboot yet), still dies in 6 hours. Only fix I and others have found on the T-Mobile support forums is switching to 2G data when not in use. Appears to be an issue with tower upgrades or something similar, someone on the TMo forums did a logcat and is seeing nonstop connect/reconnects to the network while phone is sitting in sleep and another mentioned they have a friend in engineering who said it's tied to the channel bonding feature TMo is implementing for data.

Supposedly an OTA or something is being worked on by TMo and HTC? Who knows? TMo CS is useless, still insists it's a battery or phone issue, and refuses to acknowledge anyone has ever even reported it (yet myself and at least 2 dozen others have posted on their own forums their experiences with CS attempting to report the issue). It's escalating to the point I'm going to leave TMo after 7+ years ahead of the merger decision...
