[Streak 5 Android Development] bluefrog:
I had that for a while too - Android System being the big user of battery and was killing it pretty quickly.

What seemed to stop it was pulling the battery for 5 minutes! It now features at around 5-10%. I also use "App Quarantine" - stops unwanted stuff starting up (you choose) and "Autokiller" - manages un-necessary tasks to keep memory at a pre-set level (I use the Aggressive setting).

My screen is on virtually all the time (i use it for stuff at work) and it lasts til after lunch with heavy use and 3g/H on too. If I use it like "normal" users then the battery lasts a lot longer.

I can't see anything significantly wrong with this ROM now. The battery meter can be a bit weird still though. Seems to be calibrated to 4.2V = 100% and 3.2V = 0% but it jumps around a lot at lower voltages. Frustrating. I got it somewhere near accurate by plugging the charger in every time it jumped then unplugging when it returned to where it had been. Bizzarely it seems to have ironed almost all the issues out!

Anyone else having an issue when you turn your Wi-Fi on your mobile data connection drops?
[Streak 5 Android Development] (InsertNameHere):
Isn't that normal behaviour?
[Streak 5 Android Development] Agent5150:
Mobile data connection should only drop when you have successfully connected to a wifi network. Simply turning it on should not drop the mobile data connection.

That is to say:

Turn on Wifi + no wifi network connection = Mobile data connection

Turn on Wifi + connected to wifi network = No Mobile data connection

This is how my Streak works on this rom.

It is finally stable, no SOD, or random reboots. Battery life is decent too with moderate use. (45% after 15 hours on battery). This is with SetCPU settings 245/998 lagfree.

No other tweaks or task killers. I found GS2.4.4 to start acting up if you try to overclock the CPU. :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] wrightc88:
Guess I worded it wrong it happens when I just turn the Wi-Fi on and I'm not connected. It's not allowing me to receive MMS's. Kinda werid I may just try a factory reset.
[Streak 5 Android Development] bluefrog:
I think that's normal. AFAIK you can't send mms over wifi through your internet connection - it has to go via your provider's data signal I think (could be wrong but i'm sure it's the same for me and was like that when i used to have a windows mobile handset as well)

Call reject works differently

Hello,

With this rom I noticed everybody is calling me again and again even if I reject all the calls by sliding the red to the left.

I found out that when you reject a call with this rom, the other party does not see "busy" information, the call just ends. They think the call was dropped and call again making me angry.

This also results in no redirection to voicemail.

Someone said in some forum that switching back to 351 solved it. (this rom was 406 right?)

Any suggestions? This is really annoying. I remember having the same issue with an older siemens phone, rejecting and sending busy was accomplished with two different buttons, but android only has one, and there is no setting for this in gingerbread.

All my other gingerbread android phones work normally. (you see "busy" indication at the remote party)

[Streak 5 Android Development] msprakashmmc:
I got stuck in the last step please help guys sine my sim is not recognised..

YOU MUST FLASH THE BELOW BASEBAND AND DSP1 IMAGES TO ALLOW THIS BUILD TO WORK CORRECTLY!!

Quick How to for flashing the above files - assuming you already have fastboot setup and configures on your pc.

1. reboot your streak and hold the camera button down until you get a white screen, then hit the fastboot option in the top left corner.

2. connect to pc and wait for streak to show FASTBOOT_MODE

3. run the following commands to flash the baseband and dsp1 then reboot

Code:

fastboot -i 0x413c flash amss amss.mbn

fastboot -i 0x413c flash dsp1 dsp1.mbn

fastboot -i 0x413c reboot

I reached fast boot mode in streak but dont know how to run those two comments from fastboot mode.. so help guys..

I installed fastboot.exe & adb.exe in my pc after that what should i do to run that two commends..?

Thank u so much guys:) I did it finally n works very smooth:) but if I overclock it gets stuck and reboots which is known issue already.. so how can I overcome this prob..? Any good ovorclock apps solved this issue..? Pls recommand a good app for me to over clock.. thanks:)
[Streak 5 Android Development] bluefrog:
A search might have got you the answer, but to see if I can help:

What did you try to overclock it to? The Streak CPUs are all of different "abilities". Some will oc to around 1267 I believe. Mine isn't stable above 1113. So you have to experiment and come down step by step until it remains stable.

I also keep mine above 576 on the lagfree governor. Some like ondemand down to 245. Again, you have to experiment a bit to see what works best for you

HTH!

[Streak 5 Android Development] LauraAmerica:
Thank you so much, this was the first time I flashed this phone.

In average, we could say it has been stable and in a reliable state.

BTW, has shut down a few times (flashed it 12 hours ago and has shut down 5 times since then).

The scenarios seems to be this:

-GingerStreak charging (by USB plugged to PC).

-Unplugged (screen off).

-You can turn the screen on to confirm is still awake (optional).

-Screen off.

-Shut down (only way to boot it is by removing the battery completely).

Background

-Was stock right before this.

-I followed the whole process by the word.

-Baseband and DSP1 were flashed before flashing GingerBread.

Again, this is just a minor detail and I'm still so happy with this ROM and recommending it. I'm leaving this feedback just to enhance future releases.

Thanks again.
[Streak 5 Android Development] besweeet:
Something similar seems to happen with mine.

May not be relevant now, since an official Gingerbread ROM was released for Olleh, a Korean carrier, and seems to work fine on all other Streaks: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=20509757#post20509757

I just posted a similar issue with mine.

---------- Post added at 12:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:10 AM ----------

Same with mine. Still usable just not that reliable with push notifications.
[Streak 5 Android Development] bluefrog:
i still struggle to understand why some Streaks are great on this ROM (mine for example!) and others have reboot, wifi etc issues.

Try flashing one of the GKernels (1.5) or GXKernel (1.0 but Nothing later - stability issues set in)

i'm currently running GXKernel 1.0 overclocked via SetCPU to 384/1152 conservative (better battery life). No stability problems whatsoever. Wifi is behaving well too.

They're very easy indeed to flash via Streakmod Recovery.....

HTH!

edit: clear cache and dalvik cache after updating.
[Streak 5 Android Development] LauraAmerica:
Do we have to flash baseband & DSP1 before or after ROM update?

I get a constant fcs "the process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." Notification bar shows I have zero phone signal. As the FC are so often that I can't even use the device.

Flash Battery meter with Percentage ( %)

First thanks for great [ROM].

24h without any problem so far,

confirmed issues:

Reboots (not consistent)

Wifi shuts down after some minutes of not use (always)

Wifi not working, wifi module reboot fixes it (not consistent)

Push notifications not working (due to wifi issues) (always)

but is it possible to flash this battery meter with percentage from StreakModRecovery.

Info from web.: (Flash the file below with clockmod and it should work with steves v 1.4.6) but with 2.4.4 ??

http://android.modaco.com/topic/324497-battery-meter-with-percentage-update-feb-6th/
[Streak 5 Android Development] cdzo72:
If you're referring to StreakDroid v1.4.6 then that's based on Froyo and it won't work with any Gingerbread build. What you could do if you like the icons is download the theme, extract the "settings.uot" file (I'm assuming those icons come from the Ultimate Online Theme Kitchen) and upload it to the kitchen, also upload the frameworkres.apk and the SystemUI.apk from the Gingerbread build you want to use on your Streak, and then download the new file from the kitchen that will be compatible with 2.4.4.

Now all that being said, it's just alot easier for you to go into the kitchen and choose your own because in my opinion there are much nicer battery meters than that one.

Hope this helps, if so hit that thanks button

I have the same issue with *100#, *138# and any other combinations of service number related to my phone provider. The USSD error would appear. I think this build might have broken the service function. I've pmed Dj steeve about a month ago, so i think he might be aware of this and might fix this on the next build.

By now I have flashed this ROM about 10 times trying different orders (ROM, hard reset, baseband and DSP) testing each at least a couple times to be sure and these are the confirmed issues I can report in my device (was unrooted stock, always used GingerBread clean, without extra apps):

Shutdowns after unplugged from USB/charger (not consistent)

Shutdowns when screen is off (not consistent)

Reboots (not consistent)

Freezes during phone call (not consistent)

Screen delay when incoming call (almost always)

Screen freezes when incoming call (not consistent)

Unlocking-screen shows up when incoming call (not consistent)

Wifi shuts down after some minutes of not use (always)

Wifi not working, wifi module reboot fixes it (not consistent)

Push notifications not working (due to wifi issues) (always)

Calendar all-day-event top-blocks not showing titles (always)

Unlocking bars in unlock screen have graphic bugs (always)

Unlocking bars in unlock screen not working/freeze (not consistent)

Misc note: I tested the music app and worked fine on background and with screen off every time.

I really like this ROM and appreciate Steve's work but I'm going back to school next week and can't take the risk. I'm moving back to stock and hope this can somehow help to improve the next release.

great rom

2.4.4 is super awesome! Works very well and most things are smooth as butter. Fixed my GPS, fixed almost any issue I had had previously. One thing that is continual is the exchange push mail force close. Happens all the time, no matter what. That and Vlingo can't get data so I can't do the super sweet in car voice recognition (> Siri imho). Also gallery seems to just be black. Finally, GTA 3 is super laggy. Maps, gmail, monopoly, sms, phone, wifi analyzer, dolphin mini, updates, k9 mail, need for speed, no frills cpu, oi manager, es file explorer, adaway, super user, most stuff is working great. Anybody else get GTA 3 working well in 2.4.4? It lags unplayably for me, I'm talking frames per minute more than second.

Oh, and lastly... Steve why are you still releasing ginger roms? Where's our ICS? :p

Before you get flamed for not searching I'll tackle a couple of your questions.

You do not need to be rooted to install a ROM.

If you need to root you should use the superuser.zip method to root as it will work on any BB.

thanks. I have been reading lots and it seams the more i read the more confused i get LOL. some people say the methods don't work on rogers phones and some say they do. Im just going to dive in and try it. worts case My wife gets a pretty paper weight.

Almost there :)

Had to flash it twice, but it's fast as hell, just doesn't like firefox.

Firefox, and Firefox beta both show symbols instead of letters, looks like webdings or something.

Powercontrol+ doesn't seem to like wifi, but going into the main menu and setting wifi on works fine.

all in all, not a bad effort, it's certainly a lot snappier than stock, just a few niggles.

[Streak 5 Android Development] delawaredrew:
I too would like to know as email process is a consistent problem for me too, repeated reboots, and total shut downs are too frequent.

I did just clear all data from email app, and set up gmail app to handle it. For all I know they are the same but I'll see. I also wiped dalvik, fixed permissions, and reset battery stats while I was in recovery. I had done a factory reset after initial install, and that is the next thing if the problem recurs.
[Streak 5 Android Development] webwolf_3000:
I had some issues with the rom also, but after reading through most of this forum thread, I've got it stable :)

I attached the SD card to the PC via Streakmod and formatted it from there (After backing up the data) I also did a format from within Streakmod, and cleared, I'm not sure if it helped but I figured I'd do everything to wipe the phone clean before flashing the rom :)

so do all that, and then install the recovery file, followed by pushing the .mbn files, everytime the phone reboots, make sure you hold the volume keys to catch it and stop it booting up until you want it to.

go into Streakmod, attach SD to PC, which should be formatted already (Completely empty) if not, format it from here, copy across the Gingerstreak file, flash rom, don't let it boot yet, factory reset (not from Streadmod, from the initial recovery menu) don't let it boot, go into streadmod, clear cache and dalvik again, now let it boot.

Also install AnTuTu CPUMaster set the scales to Max-1113 - Min-576 Scaling-lagfree.

The only issues I have is that Firefox doesn't display english, just random symbols, and once so far it's soft restarted after installing an app, Swype broke following that, reinstalled swype, reinstalled the same app again, and no issue.

It's been stable for a couple of days, and the e-mail works fine, haven't patched or modded anything on this rom.

Good luck :)

I'll write up a better guide at some point and see if Steve wants to use it as this method pretty much guarantees a good install, especially the CPU OC which I found on this thread.

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/StreakDro...28for_moving_from_ANY_NON_GINGERSTREAK_ROM.29 <- this also helped a lot.
[Streak 5 Android Development] over2land:
I ended up re-cooking the ROM kind of. Since I was using a different boot.img, I just went ahead and pulled the email.apk out of the Streakdroid 3.3 and put it in this one while I was pulling it apart to re-zip it anyway. Email works great now with no more FC issues.

Don't know how you'd fix it without reflashing though. Every time I try to use Astro to flash an .apk on an existing and newer .apk it fails.

[Streak 5 Android Development] cdzo72:
What you have to do is download the 407 Gingerbread ROM amss.mbn and dsp1.mbn files to your fastboot folder. You then then to flash boths of these files to your Streak via fastboot obviously. Then reboot. That should fix your problem but I would advise you go a step further and flash the 407 factory recovery, then flash the 407 stock ROM to your phone and make sure you factory reset. Let it boot a couple of times. Then flash Streakmod recovery and the ROM you want to use.

Now if any of this doesn't make sense then read these:
