Guys I was just wondering if there's an App or Modification that can be done to use the Soft Keys like Search Button as an alternate Power Button or maybe just Wake Up/Sleep?
[HTC Desire S] MasterDL:
Well as far as I see unlock needs to be on hardware buttons only, but to turn off the screen and lock without using the power button you can use screen off and lock, it gives you a home widget and notification widget option that'll turn off the screen.
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
I don't think the soft keys could work as they rely on the touchscreen which the screen needs to be on for. Soft keys for power is a bad idea anyway!
[HTC Desire S] ngek202:

look at this video guys I think he manage to use the Search Function as Screen Lock/Sleep and as an alternate Power Button.

I can also do Screen Lock with Screen Off and Lock App, but not the Power Menu.
[HTC Desire S] easyguy:
I want the same thing too. I wonder what did he do to his phone? an app or he mod it himself?
[HTC Desire S] Deleted member 4123551:
The soft keys are still a part of your touchscreen, pointer mode and opening the phone can tell you that. So of you want to use it to wake your phone, the whole touch screen must be activated....

It IS possible, but not battery friendly and not very easy in use.

Instead, why not use volume keys?
[HTC Desire S] Skanob:
Use this to TURN OFF the screen using the search key. Just follow the instructions.

Screen Off and Lock

Then this to TURN ON the screen using proximity sensor. (might not be battery friendly)

Tap Tap App

Confirmed both are working perfectly..
[HTC Desire S] esco123:
Screen off and lock is great but to turn phone on it can't be done, was hoping of application that can get the phone to switch on via volume rocker
[HTC Desire S] old.splatterhand:
Solution

I managed too.

I had a tip from this post: Push me

The point is to edit the *.kl file.

But first do a nand backup!!!

I edited the following files (don't now if all are needed, but i thought i take the ones who match to me/my language):

saga-keypad.kl

saga-keypad-wwe.kl

saga-keypad-ger.kl

qwerty.kl

The files are placed in folder /system/usr/keylayout/

Copy them to your pc and make a backup somewhere.

Open the file(s) with an editor and change key 217 SEARCH into key 217 POWER in every of the four files (maybe to edit saga-keypad.kl is enough -> try out and report).

Then copy those files in your computer to c:\

Connect your phone with usb cable to pc and boot into recovery. (Make sure adb is correctly installed!)

Open cmd and type in the following commands (after every line push return on pc/cmd):

adb shell

mount /system

exit

adb push c:\saga-keypad.kl /system/usr/keylayout/saga-keypad.kl

adb push c:\saga-keypad-wwe.kl /system/usr/keylayout/saga-keypad-wwe.kl

adb push c:\saga-keypad-ger.kl /system/usr/keylayout/saga-keypad-ger.kl

adb push c:\qwerty.kl /system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl

adb shell reboot

After restarting this should be working like in the video.

Good luck!

If this works for you mark the thread as solved and push thanks :D

Thanks @ andypig04 for showing the way!
[HTC Desire S] ngek202:
I will try this Sir thanks :D

need to edit 3 files

qwerty

saga-keypad

saga-keypad-wwe

Thanks.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] anticrom:
I think something changed after the 2.2 update. I used to be able to download nzb files through the stock browser. Now if i try to download them using stock browser or opera, they download as a .bin file. I went into astro and changed it to .nzb, but it still doesnt work. Is the phone modifying these files so they cant be stored on the phone properly? I was surprised that I couldnt find any discussion of this by searching google. Also, when i tried download a .mp3, the same thing happened.

Sent from my Dell Streak
[Streak 5 General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
In the case of our unit, don't you actually have to market the damn thing if you want Android to meet your expectations?
[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
Dell has yet to market ANY of it's mobile devices,

strangely though the venue pro is doing a lot better then the venue, even though the venue pro had a really hard start in life.

It might be the largest userbase behind the s5, though granted the wp7 market has a lot less devices overall so it's not as diffucult to not be flooded by millions of devices unlike on android
[Streak 5 General] p51d007:
I gave up waiting for 2.2, I gave up completely for 2.3, I gave up on the update to the streak, I'm GIVING UP on Dell. Samsung note will be my next device when it hits the states.
[Streak 5 General] SHildebrandt:
I think Dell was trying to sell its mobile phones using the same sales model they used when selling PCs. They didn't take into account the many, many more variables that affect mobile phone purchases (carrier first, then platform, then leading edge hardware). They, I think, wrongly assumed, "People are buying alot of Android phones, and since we're Dell, if we make them, people will buy them". Let Dell go back to Microsoft.... I mean they've been in bed together for decades..... Mr. Dell just is reluctant to admit fault.... "We're Dell..... no one is buying our phones so it MUST be Android's fault" LOL
[Streak 5 General] slaydog:
Who cares BTW if it's Android 1.6 or 2.2. What's the difference?
[Streak 5 General] (InsertNameHere):
It would help if they actually followed the development cycle and released the updates, where is 2.3.3, 2.3.4 and so on?

A device stuck with a older version of the OS is always going to be less popular.
[Streak 5 General] zsolti256:
Yeah, thats exactly it :)

There is this saying don't hate the player, hate the game. I think. But in this case , its the other way around :) Yeah, people that cant admit there made a mistake, not updating the software, or at least doing some market hype.

It seems like Dell isn't very appealing because of the style, and its openness to software. Plus , back then Android wasn't that popular that you can could sell a heavy 5" phone, But now days with the right specs, you just watch ...

In short, they are too lazy, There going for the surely win route, I think. Thats why they are going for the Win8 tablet.
[Streak 5 General] Streak4ever:
Dell must have new PR manager
[Streak 5 General] chrisrotolo:
if dell stepped up the hardware, maybe some IPS, super AMOLED+, 8+MP cam anyone? make Streak 7 a bit thinner.. release with stock Android and get updates out on time, and maybe unlock bootloaders, etc. oh yeah and advertise!! They could be moving units.. Streak 7 likely last piece of anything Dell I own for a good long time..
[Streak 5 General] SHildebrandt:
One thing I will say, however, is my cousin has the Dell WindowsPhone "Venue Pro".... and that phone is truly a THING OF BEAUTY (no kiddin). I've read on more than one reputable site that it may in fact be "the best WindowsPhone available" (believe it or not). Not only is it extremely well-made, but it feels like you could drive nails with it and not hurt it. Such a shame it's running that G-damned lame-as-**** Windows OS.
[Streak 5 General] Rico ANDROID:
Personally I will never buy another windows phone. Was very glad of the android transition to revert, even if windows "finally" did something about their quirky, sticky, freezing between processing and my alltime fav "random non-response touchscreen moments".

But Dell F'd up once with bad promo and had monkies doing their PR. Dell f'd a secomd time making the announcement about. "Dell has pulled the streak from its current inventory ...stay tuned for a special announcement.." Leaving us to believe our trusty ole Streaks were called in for some "innerds overhaul" only to hear that its been pulled from the U.S. market.

Dell f'd a third time releasing a DELL STREAK PRO, much smaller screen and device, looks like a cookie-cut replicate of most other phones, lost all its streak5 features.

I am looking for info on how to get my hands on the ViewSonic tab/phone.

Time to put ole Dell out to third-world pastures
[Streak 5 General] Chamo4u2:
Personally my opinion is not one to count on Dell's conscious but here it goes, first of all they didn't even make the product they just slapped their name on it and try to get as many sales as they could two once their product crashed on 2.2 faster than an angry bird into a wall they knew if they didn't pull it they would get a bad name and three dell doesn't care about their customer cause if they did they would admit to making a bad product and see how they can go ahead and fix their problem extend warranties on bad units, fix 2.2 issues an apology for stealing your money oh wait it's not stealing it's business. Okay well from now on Samsung has my business and I will steal from Dell by letting one know everytime they see my Streak "what the hack is that thing" saying the worst investment you can ever make"
[Streak 5 General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
@Chamo4u2: Dell's conscience and the fact they only put their name on the Streak aside, I'd like to find out where you get this impression they pulled the Streak because of crashes. Now I've owned a Streak since April. It came with 2.2.2 347 preinstalled. In that time frame I've upgraded the ROM to 351 and 360, after having to reinstall 347 twice due to mistakes I made in tweaking the ROM for my tastes. At no time have I encountered force close issues, thus I don't believe their ROMs are the problem. Since my experience flatly contradicts yours, what is different about your Streak compared to mine?

The Streak was discontinued in the original countries where it was released. Dell has released the Streak in Asian countries this year, meaning for those countries the Streak is new. If the Streak were pulled because of software problems, Dell would not have released it in Asia. Thus your statement that the Streak was pulled due to crashes is demonstrably false.

The Streak is actually a decent device that was saddled with poor marketing decisions made by Dell. Of course this assumes that the Streak was actually marketed, when we know it wasn't. Had Dell put any effort into promoting the Streak in television commercials, had put Streaks in AT&T stores, and had actually sold the device with 2.1 from the start instead of 1.6 we likely would not be having this discussion.

Despite the lack of marketing and despite Michael Dell's comments, apparently Dell does still care about the consumers. As most people reading this forum know, Dell released the sources to a Gingerbread kernel. According to DJ Steve those sources have been in his possession for over a week now. With Dell releasing the kernel, can official Gingerbread ROMs be far behind?

P.S. You've got to work a bit on the punctuation buddy. I almost ignored your post because I had so much difficulty reading it.
[Streak 5 General] scdsone:
i hope so ive got my streak till march (wifes 18 month contract) & i would like my phone to end its days with gingerbread
[Streak 5 General] SHildebrandt:
I'm with Strephon...... I've had my factory-installed Froyo Streak since last April and it's been one of the most stable Android phones I've ever owned (seriously).... And I've owned EVERY T-Mobile Android phone available (MyTouch Slide, MyTouch 4G, Nexus, G2, LG G2x). I blame the US Streak's downfall on non-existent marketing and offering it carrier-subsidized only on aTnT. Up until they lost iCrap exclusivity, they would actually try and talk new customers out of buying anything Android (I witnessed this myself).....
[Streak 5 General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I experienced that firsthand, and got so pissed I left the store. If there is one thing I cannot stand it's being lied to, and the AT&T "salesperson" did exactly that in trying to dissuade me from going with Android.
[Streak 5 General] Troute:
Pledging support for Microsoft and Windows 8,

That's the key phrase there, it means they've done a deal with M$ and knocking Android is a way of passing the buck for their past failure on to Google.
[Streak 5 General] kind3rgarten:
lolwut

How are you a senior member? Did you seriously just ask what the difference between 1.6 and 2.2 is?
[Streak 5 General] Rico ANDROID:
Streak had little to NO advertisement or debut on AT&T

And I BET you on Steve Jobs grave, that there may have been a "no android or other sales to upset the icrap sales".

From 2007 till Saint Jobs kicked ma bell out of bed, att customers had NO new releases , especially android, at the same rate of releases of other carriers. When Pope Jobs divorced att, only then, did att try to start rolling out new devices, Sadly, the Streak never got a just-due debut on att due to this seemingly Daddy-Jobs ban on any release during the icrap heyday.

Sugah daddy Jobs "pimped" att and then threw ma away like a washed up HOpe you all have a great day.
[Streak 5 General] crashDebug:
i feel sorry for you americans really. this whole carrier phones affair is as bad as it can get. here in italy we are lucky enough to have no carrier specific devices (save a couple of low buget rebranded huawei's from vodafone and some custom bloatwared roms for some devices). I hope we'll never end like you...
[Streak 5 General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Carrier branding though isn't really the issue here. The issue here is that Dell is slamming their Android devices for not doing well when the fault clearly lies with Dell for not promoting those devices at all!

When using google talk on my Droid 3 (updated), it works fine for chatting, voice, and video. When getting an invite to a group chat, however, everyone's names show up as something like "a65s7a56s7d7a6a5d7". I never know who is talking. I never played with group chat before the update so I cant confirm if this is a new issue. I did clear data on google talk as well with no luck.

Anyone know of any fixes or is it just a bug right now?

[Motorola Droid Bionic] minmongoblin:
Every now and then I'll get a notification that I have an update ready. I click the notification to open My Apps and...nothing needs an update.

I have noticed that my phone will randomly delete a paid game of mine, Totemo Full, and I've given up on reinstalling that. Would that be causing the issue? Did Totemo get a recent (like < 1 week ago) update?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] AtLemacks:
What exactly, quoted, does the notification say? A lot of apps are set to update automatically, these apps might be telling you they were updated, not that an update was just available.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mac404:
Quick tip: you can always go the market page for each app to see when it was last updated. Totemo is here, and it appears it hasn't updated since July 29.

Mine will sometimes say that there are more updates than there really are, but I've never had it tell me there's an update when there isn't yet. Have you used Titanium to freeze any apps, by chance?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] neckbonest:
Your apps disappear cause some of the by default get installed to your media. You can fix this by going to settings /applications /manage apps/media area and the O. Es that have a check mark by them, click on it and select move to phone and they won't disappear anymore. As far as the updates go, and as the other post says apps are set to update automatically and thats why you can't see them. It's just letting you know an update has been done. Hope this helps
[Motorola Droid Bionic] justinisloco:
I had a customer with this problem yesterday. Try going to market>menu>my apps> then look at each non installed app and look for ones that say "update" (for him it was myverizon and vz tones)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] aac230:
There are a few different threads on this......what is happening is your default account is switching over to a secondary account. If you go into accounts under the market menu and switch your account, you will see there is in fact an update for an app purchased on the other account. I am desperately searching for a fix to this. I now have apps split between the two accounts and if it weren't for my company using G-apps for e-mail now, I would delete second account.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] doogald:
This is not happening for me. I have only one google account on the phone. I have turned off automatic update for each app where it was turned on. I get a notification every day that there is an app with an update; open the notification and find that there are no apps available to update.

This version of the market has issues, for sure.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] pyroelite:
Just go to settings/apps & clear market data. You might also have to do that if you have updated an app outside the market.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] doogald:
I've tried that; it doesn't fix the problem (and I have no non-market apps installed.) It's more of an annoyance than anything, but I just wanted to point out that this is not always explained by an app with automatic updates enabled (which should give a notification of their own, by the way), or having a second Google account on the phone. The market app is problematic, period.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] AceNJ:
I get this too sometimes and find it to be Verizon apps like "Verizon Video". When you go to "My Apps" in the market scroll to the very bottom of the list and you might see it there. That's where I found my missing updates.

Yep most often Verizon apps. Annoying

[HTC EVO 3D] integra3g:
Clarify?

When you say you plugged it in and it stopped working, do you mean that the phone was powered on and when you plugged it in, the screen would no longer turn on, or it would just lock up and power off leaving the charge light on? Are you rooted?
