[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Stop.

Just stop.

Breathe a moment, then listen.

The Streak has two MicroSD cards. One of them you cannot access unless you want to void your warranty. That is the non-user accessible card. The second card in a base model Streak is a 16GB MicroSD. That is the model I have. When you purchased the Streak through Dell, one of the optional accessories in the "customization phase" of the online sales process was a 32GB MicroSD card. That 32GB MicroSD at the time the Streaks were available was $99. Since the MicroSD was marketed as an accessory, your argument doesn't hold water. You have no case.

Further, Dell's literature says "up to 32GB" on the removeable MicroSD card. If Dell had given you no MicroSD card at all in the box you still would have no case even though the Streak isn't all that useful without the MicroSD card. The list of accessories included in the Streak box (user manual, English PDF, page 7) does not list a MicroSD card. The manual (PDF, page 13) mentions a 4th step in setting up the Streak: Install the MicroSD card. It and the Quick Start guide are in agreement in that they both provide instructions to insert a MicroSD card, but neither say "insert the included MicroSD card". Since neither source mentions an included MicroSD card, you're out of luck.

One last thing: this talk of launching class action lawsuits is pointless. Class action lawsuits benefit only one group of people: the lawyers. Even if you got enough people to create a class action and the judge let it go forward do you really think you're going to get what you're seeking? Dell will admit no wrongdoing and will set aside money to cover paying you and paying the lawyers. Out of those two groups of people, who is going to benefit the most?

The lawyers.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbozam:
I agree with what you said, Mr alcoholic. The only issue is: what did the users who paid extra for the 32 GB version get for their money?

It sounds like some users got an SD card. I paid extra for the Sd Card on top of the extra i paid for the 32GB of nothing.

If i get $100 back, which was the extra i paid for the 32Gb version, i will be happy.

The reason i suggest class action is because, even if they sold only 1000 32gb streaks, they made $100,000 as a result of deceptive marketing (which, according to my original post, they have done before). Since that number is likely much higher, they really should learn a lesson.

Should i piss in a cup and Mark it "32Gb piss" because purchasers have an option of buying an extra sd card with the piss? And then, when they call to ask about it, explain that the piss proteins use up a lot of the internal memory?

That is essentially what Dell did.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
If you are going to address me by name, at least cut and paste it into your post. Deliberately misspelling it and your general attitude in response to my post implies a weak argument.

Now, have you ever run through Dell's "configure to order" process? On a laptop, one of the available options is how much memory is available in the unit. You have two choices: 4 or 8gb. The selections are toggles. Selecting one deselects the other. The 4gb choice is the default, but if you want the 8gb option, the cost of the option is added to the cost of.the laptop. Let's say you went with the 8gb option and finished the transaction. When you get home you open the computer and see that you received exactly what you asked for: 8gb of memory. You do not get the 4gb of memory that comes standard and the 8gb of memory on top of it.

It is the same with the Streak memory card option. 16gb is the default, but for an additional $99 you can increase the available memory to 32gb. When you open the Streak box, you will find ONE card: a 32gb card in the box.

No one gets a 16gb card AND a 32gb card in an unopened Streak package. It will be one or the other. With that piece of information as well as the other information provided in this thread, a Dell lawyer should be able to make a convincing argument against granting class action status to your complaint.

One last thing: Dell's shipping manifest for each item they sell includes a breakdown, by Dell part number, of all the components that make up the product. If you purchased a new Streak from Dell it will tell you what size MicroSD you selected. If it shows a 32gb MicroSD and you only got 16gb, contact executive customer service via Michael Dell's email address because they are more helpful than the regular line. Otherwise suck it up and deal, because you got exactly what you ordered.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheManii:
I have a really hard time expecting anything but a waste of time coming out of this, point: dell is a laptop manufacturer.

Rationale:

Laptops ALWAYs have the option of a fac installed HDD that is 2-10x more expensive then picking the smallest and buying a larger one yourself. (Ignoring sales/coupons/etc).

This is functionally the same thing, phones as a whole are always massively overpriced when it comes to bundled NANDs (in bundled memory cards or soldered directly on the board). If you're really good with your hands you could just as much buy something like an iphone (which has no external memory and multiple size nands) and remove and replace the nand for cheaper then the price of the bigger cap version.

It's always been a scam and wont change as storage cap is a really easy market number and general users equate that with it's price. Short of breaking this entire setup you wont get much traction as the entire industry works like this.

Pretty much the only way to avoid this for laptops is to buy a barebones one and furnish it yourself.

Phone equiv is to buy a phone that has an external sd and buy your own sd, like prev mentioned.

The 32gb one is worth more then $100 too btw, as it's $100 OVER the 16gb one, which means you're assuming it's free. I'm going to make up a number and say the 16gb one is worth $50 so a hypothetical cardless S5 should cost $150 less then one with a 32gb card bundled. These dont exist though, dell doesnt have a SKU that includes no card included (not intentionally)

As an aside: dell shouldnt have removed the product page for the S5/S7 when they stopped being sold for this very reason. Dell DOES have spec sheets still up for devices far older, this is like an exception. They should have merely removed the buy button and say it's no longer available (which is true for the s5 product page for some countries outside the US)

If he got no sdcard he has right to complain, as it bundles ONE card.

Doesnt mean he has any right to overreact though, $100 can nearly buy you THREE 32gb cards on your own. SanDisk 32GB Micro SDHC Flash Card Model SDSDQM-032G-B35N. That is in fact nearly identical to the bundled ones, dell uses sandisk class 4 cards in all their devices (S5/S7/V) (it could possibly be class 6, you can still buy TWO 32gb class 6's though regardless).

What he's implying towards is that you should have the right to sue a company when they sell something for more then another company, which is shinanigans, both the former and latter points.

Regardless of what he's implying he IS implying that he didnt do the research in thing or another, as who in their right mind would actually pick the 32gb one? It doesnt take more then 5 minutes of research to see that the 32gb one is a terrible deal short of using dell credit that is about to expire.

tl;dr: shinanigans
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Well, my point is that Dell could have legally gotten away with not including a MicroSD since one wasn't mentioned in the materials available, and that there wasn't much he could do about it. It's not realistic and I knew that since the Streak does come with a card. But, you are absolutely correct in that he's overreacting. I was trying to be nice about it in saying he doesn't have a case, especially given that he claims his wife is a lawyer. She would in fact benefit greatly from a class action lawsuit.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbozam:
I appreciate the debate guys, but the point was:

Dell called their two versions of the streak 5 "16 gb" and "32 gb", both of which were misleading. The "versions" were identical but were shipped with external sd cards which, as the poster above confirmed, was not mentioned by Dell in it's online sales materials.

A few people have made the argument that I should have done more research; to those people I say "shame on you". It should not be up to the consumer to read 3rd party materials because a company uses misleading advertising. One person said he saw a specs sheet on Dell's website; I did not see that sheet and cannot confirm a link to it was present on the day I made my purchase nor have I seen it afterwards on Dell's site except from your link.

To those who say Dell couldn't have gotten away with using illegal marketing practices I say "welcome to the real world". There is a reason you can still stay up late and see infomercials selling weight loss or penis extending pills (snake oil pills). The government agencies responsible for keeping companies in compliance with the law are overburdened; they are mainly the attorneys general ( the fda in the case of the pill salespeople) who only pursue cases after getting numerous complaints from consumers in their jurisdiction.

To summarize: I know I would have a case because I sued Dell about 5 years ago for selling a 64 bit computer with "Windows Vista" but omitting (from every page of the online sales material) that it was Windows Vista 32 BIT. It is misleading to sell a piece of hardware and say that it is 64 bit or 32 gb if, upon arrival, it can only utilize 32 BIT processing or 2gb of internal storage. Dell settled that case and sent me ~$200 in the form of a check...the cost of a 64 bit OS.

A reminder to those that say "if it were illegal, they couldn't get away with it"...in civil law, it is only illegal if somebody sues and wins; if you don't sue, they get away with it. By the way, I love getting checks in the mail when some strong-willed individuals pursued a class action and I am, unbeknownst to me, a member of the class. It allows me to put a check in the bank and know that companies I deal with are being regulated by consumers. I disagree that class actions only benefit the lawyers; I think they benefit everyone who gets a check and every future consumer because the company may think twice before performing the same or other actionable behaviors again.

Moreover, commenters forget that it was the original poster, me, and the content preparers at gsm arena who were misled by Dell's sales materials. If it were really so clear that the 16gb or 32 gb versions referred to external memory, then this thread would never have been created and we would not have had this discussion. Rather, 2 out of the 8 contributors to the thread were of the belief that the streak would come with 16 or 32gb of internal memory; at 25% in a fairly tech-savvy forum, I wonder at those who think Dell made the specs clear to general consumers.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
This wasn't truly a debate since it was a contest of facts versus belief and emotion. Regardless, if you truly appreciated the "debate", you wouldn't have waited a year to mention it. Your tone in this post is quite bitter, even going so far as to reiterate your position from a year ago; one that is factually weak but emotionally charged. Based upon the tone in your post, the restatement of your position and beliefs as well as the lengthy delay in replying, things did not proceed as you anticipated and/or hoped for.

I'd encourage you not to post again on this thread, but the impression I have of you is of someone who feels they have to have the last word. Thus, you'll post again.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Gamer:
Hello everyone, my cousin (that is not really an english expert) has recently got a GNote

He rooted it and tried out several roms, from what i've noticed on ALL the roms using JKAY when he turns off the display, it doesn't turn on again... basically the lcd backlight turns on and the display receives commands (I CAN UNLOCK IT!) but it doesn't display anything!

The screen remains grey :(

This does not happen 100% of times...

Anyone experienced this before? He assured that he had no issues with Stock ROM :confused:

PS:

The problem seems really reduced with Abysskernel 3.9 - needs more testing, ongoing.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] albert emmer:
here we go. stock apps from Galaxy Tab 7.7 that working in our Galaxy Tab 10.1.

Fully working

- Myfiles: this version has hide/show hidden files function in setting.

- Game Hub: not sure how to use it.

- Alarm clock: nice Alarm warning (check your mini app tray)

- Social Hub

- Photo Editor

- Calendar (check your mini app tray)

- Email (check your mini app tray)

All with dark-grey background theme. See photos to compare.

Half working

- Task Manager: fc on "Download" and "Storage" menu

- Task Manager widget: tab on it will direct you to Task Manager app, resizing it will cause fc.

WARNING:

BACKUP YOUR ORIGINAL APPS FIRST BEFORE REPLACING WITH THESE APPS

You can do that by renaming the apps with .bak at the end.

These apps are deodexed.

INSTRUCTION:

1. Make sure you are on TW Rom. Stock Android 3.2/4.0 might not working.

2. Root Access needed (some apps need copy-paste method into system/app directory)

If someone need another apk to try, make a request, i will post here.

Two apps that really need your attention:

1. Video Maker

2. Launcher

The video maker is slightly different as yogeshmha mentioned here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1498416

GT7.7 launcher comes with extra feature which is app folder, not in home screen but in app drawer! Watch here

ENJOY

Thanks to sk806 for the full rom.

UPDATE

New Samsung Appstore

- i think it's new as it different from one that available in our rom. Check the screenshot.

Email (exchange.apk + memail.apk included).

- this one quite tricky. you need to clear cache & data first on original apps, then replace those with these one in system/app. otherwise fc will happen.

- memail.apk if you want email shortcut appear in your mini app tray.

find apk in attachment.

I guess we just have to wait for Galaxy 10.1 Tab 2 to be released to the market. It's pretty much the same hardware as Tab 10.1, but have ICS and dial included. So we can rip the rom and put it to the tab 10.1.

Hi! I compiled a custom ROM especially for brazilian users (like me) that are stuck on Honeycomb. This is based on AOSP.

What's included:

* GAPPS;

* SMS + MMS (there's another build without it);

* (useless) Face Lock (there's another build without it too);

* PT-BR by default;

* Pre-root (simply install Superuser from Market);

* Stock kernel;

And... that's it. =)

Note that recovery is not required, only 'boot' and 'system' images are. I recommend you to use CWM Recovery or simmilar. The included stock recovery has problems on wiping data partition, and it's use is discouraged.

All files are fastboot images and were made to be flashed with it.

ICS with GApps + SMS/MMS support:

boot.img

recovery.img

system.img

md5

ICS with GApps + Face Lock + SMS/MMS support:

boot.img

recovery.img

system.img

md5

I'll post others images later (without preroot and/or without sms/mms support).

I'll post sources when possible too. =) Need some design pattern on device tree.

Generic fastboot instructions:

fastboot flash boot boot.img (for flash boot partition)

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (for flash recovery partition)

fastboot flash system system.img (for flash system partition)

fastboot erase userdata (for wiping data)

fastboot erase cache (for wiping cache)

fastboot -w (for wiping data and cache)

Hey, it´s nice to know that someone is working on our beloved mz605.

I have a microsoft USB wifi keyboard ABNT2.

But ICS wouldn't recognise this keyboard layout and assumes the US layout.

Does your rom recognise the ABNT2 External Keyboard Layout?

I read somewhere that the Asus Transformer sold in Brazil would recognise and set the layout to ABNT2 if the Portuguese is chosen as the default language.

But I can´t figure out how to extract this keyboard layout from the Transformer rom and transfer it to the Xoom.

The 3.1 brazilian stock rom wouldn´t recognise the ABNT2 layout either.

Since you are working with the mz605, could you help or give some directions?

Thank you in advance.
