1. What are "buffered locations"?

2. What's the use of the in app map?

3. Why does the in app map has the ability to use passive mode when the regular update doesn't have it? Or does it?

4. It would be nice to have a "shortcut" to turn precision mode on.
[Android Apps and Games] chamonix:
New version is under testing as I write. I just have to fix a bug in the tasker plugin and it's ready to roll.

What features are you missing?
[Android Apps and Games] chamonix:
Buffered locations are samples that could not be sent to latitude right away and that are kept for later update. In the upcoming version there is a pref to buffer captured locations when wifi is off and make a bulk update of latitude once wifi is available. The buffered location will then be sent to latitude with the time they were collected.

The in app map does nothing, it's historical stuff that will get removed in the upcoming version.

Passive location provider: I considered that provider as not suitable for the main functionality as it makes assumtions that there is another app collecting location (as e.g. a wather widget). The problem with passive is when noone collects locations there will never be an update. Do you thing that options should be provided for the core functionality?

What exactly do you mean with shortcut? The quick settings provide a fast and easy way to change the precision for a given time
[Android Apps and Games] XlAfbk:
does altitude has something like backitudes steal location feature or do you plan on adding that?
[Android Apps and Games] chamonix:
See the post above your about passive location provider (there is no such thing as steal location in android). It's two lines of code to add that and I feel like adding it with the corresponding disclaimer as passive location is not deterministic (e.g. my phone would get a location only once a day as maps is frozen, my weather widget only updates in the morning).

Just curious: have you tested that feature? is there a proven difference in the power consumption?

Edit: ok, it took me exactly 6 minutes to add the functionality. It will be rolled out in the upcoming version
[Android Apps and Games] XlAfbk:
i wouldn't want to use passive alone but like active every 30 min but whenever another app is getting the location anyway also let latitude get it and while that other app is getting the location update every 30 seconds. that way latitude would be updated quite frequently when I'm driving and using navigation but keeping the normal update rate (and accuracy) at other times (just one example. i know there's the frequent update mode in altitude but that requires triggering, so not quite the same)
[Android Apps and Games] chamonix:
The latitude functionality you mention is a ping and is handeled by the server.

About the active passive thing: introducing something timed would mean waking up the phone anyway and that would be counterproductive. I would rather try something like detecting if another source is providing location and switching to/from passive depending on that. Personally I run the default settings and can not even "see" the footprint of ALTitude. Anyway, with the new tasker integration there is space to control the precision based on events like gps on/off pretty easily.
[Android Apps and Games] lordgoata:
Chamonix, if not already possible, could you add the ability to force a location via the Tasker plugin ?

When I am at a known location I would like to use Tasker to set me to a fixed position, rather than let it wander all over the place depending on what cell its connected to!

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] chamonix:
That is something I will be working on but first need to look at places and the places api.
[Android Apps and Games] lordgoata:
Oh i didn't mean the checkin thing, I meant rather than ALTitude providing the current location as long, lat x, y as obtained by the location services, that we provide the long, lat manually and ALTitude uses that.

For example, when I arrive at home, rather than it using whatever value the location service provides i could use Tasker to tell ALTitude that my location is 51.050, -1.289 instead and that is what will be pushed to the Latitude database - if that makes sense?
[Android Apps and Games] chamonix:
Got it! not a bad idea. It will go to the next release though, the current one is in code freeze and I just do bugfixing
[Android Apps and Games] lordgoata:
Awesome news, thanks Chamonix!
[Android Apps and Games] chamonix:
New version v0.10 is rolling out, stay tuned for google play notifications

[Android Apps and Games] chamonix:
I found a little bug in 0.10 yesterday so I held the release back and pushed 0.10.0.1 a few minutes ago
[Android Apps and Games] 93ae8074:
There is some problem with the notification icon it won't go away. Is this behavior on porpouse?

Cheers.
[Android Apps and Games] lordgoata:
The release notes mentioned about running as a foreground app, which if I recall requires a persistent notification.
[Android Apps and Games] 93ae8074:
Not really. Other apps run as foreground applications without leaving a notification icon. Even when I run LATitute as a background service it keeps the icon visible.
[Android Apps and Games] chamonix:
Yes as long as your run latitude as a foreground service that's the behavior by design. If you don't want/need a fg service your can turn it off from preferences
[Android Apps and Games] chamonix:
No

That wasn't a part of the XDA app till a couple months ago.

So for anyone that still doesn't see the thanks feature, just needs to update the app from the market...

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MisterTedster:
Hey guys, I've been toying with the possibility of using the gtablet as a car pc. There are a few points to consider in my research.

- HDMI format can handle 8 channels of uncompressed audio. Can the gtablet output 8 channels of audio and have the power to handle processing (EQ, crossover, crossover slopes, time alignment, etc?)

- We would need to find a way to convert the hdmi cable to an analog rca cable. There are several devices that can do it, but none that I can see that can convert more than just 2 channels.

- Can the gtablet hand more than one bluetooth connection? I would like to connect a gps and an obdII device.

- There is a frontend on the android market called andcar, and it looks like it could be usable on the gtablet.

- Another option is to use a usb to rca dac, unfortunately all the ones on the market do not have android drivers to support it.

I would stay away from using the built-in jack on the gtab because, frankly, the audio quality from the jack is just not that good.

Any tips/ideas/suggestions?

[Dell Streak 7] keith.valdez:
I've never been able to get my into fastboot mode.
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
We need someone with 340 on a 1A2 device to dump the recovery.img for the pkg to work, but you'd still need fastboot to install the recovery
[Dell Streak 7] bluesy_92:
Can these image files somehow be flashed via NVFlash or CWM? I'm not familiar with Fastboot.

If it matters, I flashed back to WiFi stock when I heard about the update, using the NVFlash tut with WiFi image files, so I'm running rooted 2.2.2 with CWM.
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
cwm can, but you have to repackage it
[Dell Streak 7] tech5:
fast boot is hold down the volume- and power until the red and white text appears and then attach it to the computer and go to your adb dir and instead of going into platform tools just go to tools and type fastboot devices and make sure your streak is seen ...it might just be a ? but it is still noticed
[Dell Streak 7] dbpaddler:
I would think wifi users would want to avoid anything that involves the DS7 as a phone. If HC is supposed to bring better battery life, would pinging or signal searching kinda kill that idea? Just easier to wait it out at this point.
[Dell Streak 7] bluesy_92:
Would that be as easy as putting the files in a .zip? Also, has it been confirmed whether or not I need the recovery.img from the EU models?
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
As an aside: the official available update was for EU streak7's

There are 3 models of streak7s:

US: the tmobile 4g one

EU: the unbranded 3g one

wifi: no cell service.

EU uses the 820W modem (850/1900/2100)

US uses the 820U modem (850/1700/1900/2100)

Unlike the Streak 5 the modems are actually different models and not just the same model with features turned off
[Dell Streak 7] bluesy_92:
Modem doesn't matter to me - I have the WiFi version. I'm wondering about the recovery.img differences - I heard that might cause a problem.
[Dell Streak 7] crpercodani:
I have the wifi only model also and would love to flash this but don't want a brick or something along those lines
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
got it to install with help from graffixnyc

[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:

[Dell Streak 7] bluesy_92:

FIRST OFF THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO WORKED HARD TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN. MUCH APPRECIATED!

Here are the screen shots of the working wifi model. I am on a US WIFI ONLY STREAK 7. Sorry the images are so low quality and large. Had to take them from my EVO 4G.

Screen shot 1

Screen shot 2:
[Dell Streak 7] daniel3334:
Has anyone tried this on US 4G model yet? Never mind I just saw graffixnyc post in dev center about this. You lose fastboot and recovery I believe.
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
If you absolutely must have fastboot/cwm you should stay on streakdroid HC for the time being. The files are more or less unmodified, only the install script has been changed.

NVflash still works if anyone decides to change their mind
[Dell Streak 7] daniel3334:
Ok thx. I might go ahead and give it a try. I don't mind using nvflash to get back to the us model os when t-mobile gets off their assessing!!
[Dell Streak 7] chrisrotolo:
Stage weather widget looks like the largest weather/forecast widget ive seen for HC on our streaks.

I hope DJSteve get an enormous donation from some "anonymous" (read : Dell ) source saying "thanks for all the help...."
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
Wish I had an actual streak 7 to see for my self :( :D
[Dell Streak 7] EwanG:
Umm... perhaps you meant something different, but just in case...

You are saying that if you try to hold the power button and volume DOWN (not up), that it doesn't come up in "fastboot" (indicated by several lines of red text and a line of white text that says fastboot somewhere on it)?
[Dell Streak 7] WookieFan:
That's exactly it. Just need to follow instructions and do a little research.

From a powered-off state:

For recovery, Press and hold volume UP and then press and hold power as well until you get the DELL logo or Recovery options. I don't honestly remember which appears first.

For fastboot, do as above but press volume DOWN. Hold until you get the fastboot screen.
[Dell Streak 7] WookieFan:
EDIT: apologies for the duplicate post. Will delete when I can get to a browser.

Intermitent wifi after Honeycomb update

Has anyone noticed wifi connectivity/DHCP issues after updating to Honeycomb?

I'm experiencing them on two Streak 7 tablets.

Apparently this is a known issue with Honeycomb. The only fix I've found that seems to help (not fix, but help) is changing to a static IP address.

Anyone have an idea what's going on?

[Edit: BTW, TheManii, great job putting all this together. Your instructions were perfect!]
[Dell Streak 7] mikecmy:
i screwed my dell 7"

i installed cwm, and when i was trying to flash in HC US 4G, once it reboots. it stays in CWM and it will not boot into android.

Anyone able to advice?

tq
[Dell Streak 7] nagahtom:
Try doing a factory reset and then reflashing.
[Dell Streak 7] mokstone:
Yes - regardless of what I try (power + UP or power + DOWN, or anything else for that matter), I always end up at the CWM screen. I never get the option for a fastboot screen. Feels like I've bricked it.
[Dell Streak 7] EwanG:
If you're at the CWM screen, you're not bricked. Bricked is that you hit the Dell logo, and then it tries to load, and then the screen blanks out, and then it either turns off or goes back to the Dell logo.

As has been mentioned earlier, go to the CWM screen, do the appropriate "wipes", and then try to load your ROM again. It's possible you had a bad DL - have you check the MD5 checksum for the ROM?
[Dell Streak 7] mokstone:
I've done all the wipes and tried to load the ROM - still no luck; I continue to end up at CWM screen. And unfortunately, I"m a newbie at this, so have no idea what it means to "check the MD5 checksum" or how to do it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
[Dell Streak 7] nagahtom:
Maybe this will help you.....

You can download an MD5 checker off the internet and run it against the ROM that you downloaded. The numbers should match. I don't see the checksum listed in the original post so you can re-download the ROM if you think your 1st download didn't come in good. Otherwise, I wouldn't worry about that.

Since you are in cwm, I'd suggest you use the Method TWO instructions. (They are correct and they work)

METHOD TWO:

Instructions:

1. Install clockwork mod 3.0 (You probably have 3.0 or version 5.0 (blue text))

2. Download the correct zip: (Make sure you got the right update and

put it in the /sdcard directory)

* update.zip for EU 3G

* update.zip for EU Wifi

* update.zip for US 4G

* update.zip for US Wifi

3. Suggestion: Hold off on this Reboot and stay in cwm OR reboot and go back into cwm

do: Factory reset from main cwm menu

do: Wipe Dalvik from advance cwm menu

4. Install with clockwork mod (Select install zip from internal sd card)

5. Factory reset your device (Select this from the initial cwm menu)

6. Optional: Install clockwork mod 5.0 (Do this if you're not on cwm mod 5.0)

7. Optional: Root your device

8. Go back to main window and reboot (give it plenty of time to boot)

Hope this helps.

I downloaded the "fastload" zip drivers file... I put the unit into fast loadmode & hook to the pc & it can't find it... do I need the t-mo/dell streak 7 driver installed on the computer first..?

My unit has the stock tmo 2.2.2 systems I also downladed the 4g and loading the pkg file & it fail on a match load error...

Can you point to the link to modified USB driver? I'm stuck at fastboot, Thanks
[Dell Streak 7] SlickClick:
Not too friendly on this site... They want you to read 20 pages of off topic crap in 100 different threads to find the one guy who posted the right answer for what you need...

Anyways I think around page 9 of this thread a user posted the command line (c: prompt) of how to get the fastboot driver to load... Havent tried it yet...

Which by the way is very useful information for the op procedure... Not sure why so manu gurus would forget to include that useful information but mind reading over the internet is at an all time high havent you heard..!?
[Dell Streak 7] minhphuongpham:
I finally upgraded my TMO 4G DS7 to HC 3.2. It is by some luck that I had downloaded a USB driver awhile ago. I tried it and it installed and I could fastboot from my XP (I don't have W7 driver) computer. Please do not ask where I found the driver because I don't remember. I downloaded it back in September from somewhere in XDA forum.

I do have the driver for XP but don't know how to upload here to share with everyone. For those who want the driver please send me your email.

I followed The Manii instruction and XDA Flashing Guide with the following details:

1. Save the recovery-Froyo-us.img in the same folder as fastboot (exe) file in XP computer, say C:\Android. And save update.pkg in the root of external SD card

2. Fastboot DS7 (vol- plus power button). Will see fastboot.... on the DS7 screen

3. Connect USB cable from DS7 to XP computer. Your computer may ask to install 'USB driver'. This was where I got stuck for hours until I found the driver on my computer. Thanks to post # 165, 166. Read posts on page 17. There are good hints there.

4. In Windows XP after driver has been installed, Click Start then Run 'fastboot flash recovery recovery-froyo-US.img' (use Browse to go to the folder where fastboot.exe is located). You will see something 'recovery...'. It seems stuck as if nothing happens there for awhile (just be patient for few minutes)

5. Reset DS7 by pressing the PIN hole near SD card

6. Enter recovery mode on DS7 by pressing Vol+ plus power button

7. Navigate to Software update via Update.pkg on SD card

Few minutes later, reboot and Bingo Honeycomb 3.2.

So far everything seems to work fine but I'm not very impressed with the screen. The characters are rather small and not as easy to read as on Froyo 2.2.2. It uses far more memory (RAM) than Froyo. Video chat works on Gtalk and Skype. GrooveIP works (phone app using Gvoice number).

Good luck.

This whole Thread is Worthless without the:

No one seems to have one..!

To get fastboot to work I had to download this file:

from this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=878786

and used this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHDAtiaYEM8

to setup the "fastboot driver"

How to do the Driver setup:

Download the above file and unzip it this folder contains the driver needed to get past the initial plug-in of the DS7 to the PC while the DS7 is in "Fastboot Mode" select the folder of the DLed above driver and it will fail but now you leave the DS7 plugged in and go into your device manager and do as the above video shows...

now the DS7 will show as something useful...

now you will go to a dos promt by typing CMD in the run bar and following the steps on page 11 of this thread and running the command line there in post #103 it will then finish that... you will need a staple to turn off the unit in the sd card area on the left small hole...

then you will proceed with the right update.pkg file on the root of the sim card boot the unit using the + and power and select the update from sim and it works

if you follow my previous rantings I explain all whats missing of the information here... It isnt too hard at all its actually very easy if you have a unrooted unit...

You will need to get Manii's latest ROM which has the older Android market on it;havent check in awhile gonna see whats newly been cooked up them now for the hc3os...

the biggest trouble I had was getting the computer to reconize the everything else is easy.... Matter of fact you can download manii's ROM right to your Sim card rename it and launch it but you have to do that one hack load step in the op how-to; like I said in my rants its all here now...

where's the THANK-YOU button?!

seriously...

how I missed this post is BEYOND ME. (yeah, I know: metalchef = fail). :D

At the outset of receiving the WiFI only tablet, I was able to update to Dell's official honeycomb via OTA... however, the tablet was/is for my wife, who wasn't quite ready for honeycomb at the time, so I flashed back to stock 2.2.2. ... since then, however, none of the (official) pkg's would work (either signature verification mismatch or FOTA mismatch). And of course, I would flash the respective 5x release's recovery FIRST....all failed.

So...yeah: BIG HUUUUGE most-METAL thanks for them zip files (didn't want to give her honeystreak -- no disrespect to DJ_Steve, of course).

which Rom for using unlocked T-moble Streak7 4g in India

I have an unlocked T-Mobile streak7 4G from US . I want to use it with 3G in India. Should i flash the european 3G version or the US 4G version? As I understand i need to flash the US 4G version as the Hardware has been configured to accept those drivers only.

But , a German guy in an earlier thread posted that he flashed the European 3G version and its working fine for him. This makes me wonder , if the hardware device is same but configured differently?

we use the 2100 freq band for 3G in india.

I'm still trying to fix this. I think the issue is that in Method Two, the instructions on step 4 say "Install with clockwork mod (Select install zip from internal sd card)" but how do I get update.zip onto the internal sd card? I can copy update.zip onto an EXTERNAL sd card, but CWM doesn't give me the option to install from an external card.
