[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] valest:
5) I press and hold down the up volume key (the key closest to 3.5mm plug)

looks like you did it the wrong way,here's some quote:

Safe Mode - Hold VolUp button while power on

Recovery Mode - Hold VolUp+VolDown while power on

Fastboot Mode - Hold Camera button while power on, then select Fastboot by touching top-right screen corner

Device may not want to power on while holding any other button than power, so press only power button and then after the softbuttons light up, IMMEDIATELY press the wanted hardware buttons combination and hold while device powers on.

I did your procedure and My streak shows no sign of anything, does not turn lights or windows detects it as USB.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kudey2155:
are you able to go into fastboot and streak mod???
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Henrylugo:
is not in any way, the streak will not turn on the screen nor the lights of navigational buttons. I have several batteries and I've tried with each, both are charged 100%. questions that, when a streak is bricked should do anything, or my problem lies elsewhere? and by the way thanks for everyone's help
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
A bricked Streak does nothing. Won't turn on. Won't light up. Won't do anything. If it did anything, it wouldn't be bricked.

Your remaining options are to either spend the money and get the Streak JTAGged, which will leave you without phone capability, or to purchase a used Streak off ebay. This Streak is DEAD.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] valest:
Same as #23,your Streak is a dead meat now.Only cure is JTAG,quite hardware+hardcore way,seek help,spend the money and get the Streak JTAGged.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Henrylugo:
Thank you very much for your time, just for reference, I know that the sim function can not be repaired in any way without buying a mainboard streak or a streak for additional parts. Streak JTAGged respect to information online is to do it yourself or you definitely need to buy a box or similar riff. I advise you
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] valest:
Holy mother of god,dont even think about doing it yourself,you wont be able to handle it.

just check out something like #10,pay the bill (and most likely the shipment too),find someone who will jtag it for you.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Henrylugo:
thank you very much I'll remember, but I decided to buy the new mainboard or damaged streak with the display and then change the mainboard. if anyone knows of any link to any of these alternatives please share it, the option of item 10 and the review and not a bad option, but I inmagino streak without access my sim, that option would be the plan c.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enbeto:
Hi all,

I have been hating myself during these last days because I used exactly the same command this Saturday. I saw the famous warning for the streak too late...

Well, I wrote to the people of the link posted in #10 specifically asking them about this issue with the SIM card and the dell streak after the jtag repair. They answered yesterday telling me that the SIM zone would be untouched and remain functional.

I think I will send them my streak. I post back how everything ends.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Henrylugo:
Greetings, I wrote them and did not answer, could you confirm what I read about the functions sim streak would continue working after they do the jtag
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enbeto:
Sorry for the delay on answering,

I wrote him again and he insisted that, as long as no jtag repair was done before to the device, he is able to do the jtag repair keeping the SIM card functionality.

I have already sent him the streak, we will how all this ends.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Henrylugo:
thank you, please let me know when you return it and have checked the jtag that is in perfect condition, yotuve streak to buy a used and run down the case and in the next'll change the mainboard.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jimmy8100:
same problem dell streak bricked

i upgrade my dell streak to a custom rom and then downgrade to stock rom and got stuck, and now dell streak don't turn on at all. i think i need a jtag but afraid that sim may not work again. please let me know how your Jtag go from #10. :(

---------- Post added at 02:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:07 PM ----------

please let me know how this play out i needed a jtag too:(
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parag.sehra:
my condition is also the same please inform me too about the jtag :(
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _2bad4u_:
I've read about JTAG and is doesn't touch the sim area, so the sim is going to work, but there is only a small problem it may be locket so you can use the sim.

As for RIFF resurrection method, it is important to say that RIFF DOES NOT rewrite "SIM_Secure" partition. This partition contains security data, hence it is not advisable to touch it.

dell streak JTAG

I found this method on another thread dell streak repair There is a pdf there, download and read it.

It seems that JTAG is reparing Boot area.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shelay:
did JTAG work for anyone without SIM issues. i am seriously considering it now as it seems the only option left!
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enbeto:
Hi there,

as said before, I sent my bricked streak to make the jtag repair there in #10.

I received yesterday a confirmation of the guy telling me that everything went fine and, after the jtag repair, the SIM functionality is still working and the device has fully resurrected.

Unfortunately I haven't checked that myself because I haven't received the device yet, which I hope will happen next week. Everything took long because sending from/to Europe to/from USA seems to be very slow.

I will post again when I receive it to finally confirm this, but I don't have any reason not to believe what they told me yesterday.

Jimmy8100, it seems that you also bricked your streak, welcome to the club.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enbeto:
It returned locked

Hi all,

as said before I sent my streak to the people mentioned in post #10 after bricking it using the damned command "fastboot -w".

Unfortunately, it returned locked, hard-locked. With that I mean that the streak asks me for an unlock code to use it with the network I'm try to, but I have 0 attempts remaining. I can, however, make emergency calls and it detects the sim, as it accepts the (correct) pin number.

I have been trying these last weeks different things to unlock it without any success. Changed the rom, the recovery, the baseband, I crossed my fingers and prayed to God, but nothing worked, it is still locked.

Did anyone there had similar problem? Any suggestion worth to try to solve this? Does anyone know if there exists some kind of unfreeze code for the streak in order to reset the number of attempts to introduce an unlock code? Does anyone have some feeling about using a rebel sim card? Could it work?

Thanks!
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
From what I've read, it's impossible to reset that counter. You'd have to try the RebelSIM, but I believe at this point even the RebelSIM isn't going to work.

This is what I meant by the Streak not being useable for calls after JTAGging it.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enbeto:
Thanks for your answer.

The people in post #10 told me that they have done the jtag repair to other streaks resurrecting also the sim functionality. However, they had problems with at least 3 streaks which were bricked after the fastboot -w command. I guess me and others from this thread.

I see however some differences with what was reported so far after the jtag repair. First of all, I can make emergency calls, which I tried and worked. I think this means that it is not dead as phone, although I think they are sim card independent...

Moreover, I can introduce the pin number and it is detected as correct, which means that it is accessing the simcard. This other people couldn't, I think.

I do have a service tag number; it was left to 000000 for those others and seemed to be the origin of the locking problem.

Did anyone try the rebelsim after the jtag repair?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enbeto:
Hi there,

well I finally contacted the Dell support. They told me that, if it says that there are 0 attempts remaining to introduce the unlock code, then there is nothing to do. This can only be solved by replacing the device. Hence, end of story.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Hammett11:
Hello, can someone please link me latest nightly build for the TMO SII, I'm assuming there is one and for some reason I'm having a very difficult time finding it..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skadude66:
There are no nightly builds of CM yet. We only have a self-kang of CM7 by Slayher or CM7 Hybrid by RoyalKnight6190.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Hammett11:
Okay, thank you. Can you offer an opinion on which you like better?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ZombieUsr:
CM7 by Slayher is actually really good. I use it. However, since it is not really a full release it does have bugs. But over all, fantastic for an alpha.

CM7 Hybrid by RoyalKnight6190 is yet another great alpha build (however he has had more work on it). It is faster...but since Netflix does not work, I do not use it.

Also note...there is only one kernel for all the CM7 alphas.

But, for the most part. CM7 is being pushed back for CM9. Just have patience.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skadude66:
There are both of the ROMs that ZombieUsr described, and we can also flash Skyrocket ROMs. They have the exact same bugs as ours, but there might be additional tweaks.

There is also a CM7 kernel that Da_G made for the Skyrocket, but Auto-Rotation is broken when you flash it to the T989 (disable it and you SHOULD be fine).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Hammett11:
Alrighty. Thank you.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoBoGrEy:
Hello,

First of all I want to apologize if this question has already been answered.

But here's my problem: During calls the other person complains everytime that there is a lot of noise coming from me.

At the moment I'm using ICS AOKP Build 23, but I already tested with Stock JVU and the same thing happens. Also I already tried changing modem to JVT and the problem persists.

Does anyone have the same issue? Can I solve it or do you think it's a hardware problem?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hares0815:
Hi, I have exactly the same Problem.

Did you found a solution?

When someone calls me, he hears an extremely disturbing noise! :mad:

Thank you!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _-livio-_:
sort of the same problem here too, other person hears me in "waves" like getting closer or further to the mic, also while on the street the mic seems to pick up too much ambient noise and the other person can barely hear me over the noise.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoBoGrEy:
Hello,

Sorry for answering only now...

I don't know what happened but suddenly the problem disappeared!

It happened in several ROM's but lately with all the ICS ROM's it doesn't happen!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] simard57:
basic Gallery questions....

I moved nearly 400 pictures from my PC to an SD card and uploaded them the Picture folder on the Prime. I then used Gallery to browse them - pretty nice but.

- the order that Gallery browses in from newest to oldest - I want to browse from oldest to newest. The picture properties were preserved. The file names from the camera is still preserved. How can I sort by date taken or filename? It is not obvious to me.

- some of the pictures required some editing. I lightened some up and hit "save" - popup said it was "saved to edited album". I then hit back (lower left back - not edit back) to return to the browse mode and the picture appeared as if it were not edited. Where does Gallery save the new picture? I would have thought it would have saved it in the album hat is being browsed.

I know these are basic questions - but it is the easy stuff not being obvious that is most annoying. Thank for any pointers or links to Gallery how-tos
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
To be clear: I'm not talking about activating USB mass-storage (slave) mode connected to a PC. I'm talking about connection a USB OTG adapter and USB-storage to the phone and storing or fetching data from that in CWM, like ZIPs or backups etc.

Iirc there was a build for the Asus transformer (TF101) which does this. Is there anything remotely similar for the Galaxy Nexus?

I'm running the latest touch-based builds and it only seems able to work with internal storage.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] charminbear:
Yes, there is. The SGN can act as an USB host. As I just tried, when an USB-storage is connected to the SGN over OTG cable, then I can see /dev/sda and /dev/sda1 with "cat /proc/partitions" at the terminal.

But, have to do some work else to mount the device automatically when connected.

Note: It is very important to have an OTG cable with pin 4 connected to pin 5 at the mini-USB connector.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
I do have all that. I'm talking specifically about using USB OTG while in CWM.

Any (Gnex) builds which allows that yet?

(Thanks for the answer though :) )

Guys I've Defy+ (stock 2.3.6 asia retail version)

I haven't rooted my phone yet (just a month old :p) but i want to install Indian fonts. Its damm irritating to see all those squares & squares...(Chinese & Japanese characters are ok)

Can somebody please tell me any way to do that?

With Multiling i can write in Indian languages. But its of no use till I install the fonts.

Thanks in advance :) :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bemymonkey:
Hi everyone,

Unfortunately Battery Monitor Widget doesn't seem to support the Galaxy Nexus. Is there an alternative that provides accurate battery drain info?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
No its not possible on this phone. The fuel gauge does not give mA readings. Battery monitor widget will approximate though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bemymonkey:
So no hope at all? Well, thanks for the heads up. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] codesplice:
I believe an accurate current indicator would rely upon proprietary driver code built into the kernel. It's unfortunately not available on this device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Yes exactly. Our nexus uses the max17040 fuel gauge which does not output mA current readings. The kernel driver shows this as well. Too bad though. Other phones do output mA, like the ds2784 fuel gauge gives much more options. Our max17040 is a low cost chip and somewhat cheap in comparison. But it has other advantages...

Is there an all-in app which provides the following:

addressbook with all contacts

Contacts with phone numbers

Contacts with WLM/MSN

Contacts with Skype

Contacts with Google Talk

etc.

All contacts need to be merged so I have only 1 entry per person in the list.

Next to the entry I can see the online-status for the different protocols.

After selecting a contact I can choose how to contact them.

I can see WLM/GTalk/Skype settings in the defauls contactlist, but don't see the status and can't use it to connect. Only GTalk does work.

Is there such app?

I allowed my Lumia 800 to fully discharge overnight. Next day, I plugged into the charger. 2 hrs later, still dead.... later that day, still dead. Next day, tried all sorts (including all in the Seida website as below) Still dead. Took it back. Returned to Nokia.

Anyone else with the same problem - it seems it might be a problem associated with software version (ie a fatal flaw). When I get it back I'm gonna fully discharge again & try to re-charge. If it bricks again, it goes back for a refund.

I'm interested if others have had the same issue, so a picture can be built of the extent of the problem...

[Nokia Lumia 800] anseio:
Are you using USB power or wall outlet power?
[Nokia Lumia 800] piattj:
USB...wall etc

Tried both for extended period (several hours) - absolutely nothing.

When connected via USB to my PC, and with dis / re-connecting the cable etc etc (as advised) it started to do a restore, got to 80% then died. The L800 then UTTERLY was bricked. A further day of trying to kick it into life led to nothing so it went back to Nokia. Am told to expect it back / replaced within 7-10 days (this from T-Mob where it's on contract).
[Nokia Lumia 800] demeics:
I had the exact same problem with my girlfriends lumia and after reading all the posts from Nokia forum and tried everything but the one with the heating of the battery , nothing worked.

So here is the solution that worked for me: I used the USB cable with zune and placed the device on my laptop right in a warm place :)) ( by mistake ) after 5 minutes it started and now I told my gf to never let the phone discharge to 0%

You might have hit this bug covered by anandtech: anandtech.com/show/5266/nokia-lumia-800-review-nokias-brave-new-foray-into-wp7/2

Sounds like they had to plug and unplug a few times to get it going.
[Nokia Lumia 800] munkimatt:
heating the phone works. Mine ran flat and refused to turn back on, I heated it with a hairdrier, plugged the USB in (attached to the mains) and it charged! Not sure how long I heated it for but it was HOT.
[Nokia Lumia 800] piattj:
is it just me or....

... is it reasonable to have a device that:

(i) you have to fret about ensuring it's ALWAYS got some charge, or run the risk of killing it, and

(ii) you have to HEAT IT WITH A BL**DY HAIRDRYER to make it start... ?

The purpose of my post was to see if this is a random, could-happen-to-anyone, fault... in which case, OK, I'll have Nokia sort it... or is it a design fault that (i) I would expect to be sorted before (& certainly after) launch and (ii) means I would look to send the 800 back & select a different WP7 device.

Anyway I hope mine comes back in good shape & that's the back of the problem.

Still interested in other experiences. I'm NOT really interested in HOW people got over the problem (hairdryers, rapid plug/unplug / extended USB sessions etc) - that is now a moot point since I sent mine back. I AM interested in a straight poll on how many other people had this problem... ie is it a design issue?

Thanks!
[Nokia Lumia 800] piattj:
... yes ccalpha!

Thanks for that anandtech url - that's exactly the issue. Nicely described as a 'reboot loop' - a Catch-22 where there's insufficient charge to kick start the boot / charging process so it shuts down. Exactly.

Just to add, I upgraded my 800 to the latest software version via Zune, 2-3 weeks ago, so I would say that this issue is NOT fixed by the current software.
[Nokia Lumia 800] anseio:
It's kinda tacky of you to tell people that it's not ok to share their anecdotal experiences in a discussion based community.

You'd be better suited turning your thread into a poll rather than a conversation.
[Nokia Lumia 800] piattj:
sorta a fair point... it is interesting to hear what people have to do to get their phones working again. But my point remains - i was clear i sent mine back and that I was interested in sensing the extent of the problem.

Thanks to all those who responded. I'm grateful. When I get my phone back and if it bricks again, I'll be sure to have a range of hair utensils ready...

battery

Actually a poll is what I wanted to establish. I'm interested in mapping battery problems to (eg) firmware or OS revision. It may be that battery problems are prevalent with a particular revision. As I reported, I had the latest OS and my battery failed me.

If there is a generic product issue, we owe it to ourselves to highlight it.

I agree that it's interesting to hear anecdotes of how people fixed (temp?) the problem but my point remains that we shouldn't have to go to such lengths to manage / resurrect / fix our nice shiny (expensive!) Lumia 800s...
[Nokia Lumia 800] pdukanac:
battery itself is fine, try turning on airplane mode you will notice expected power consumption, iirc ~4% / 10 hours standby . either component related to radio is faulty ( and i doubt that) either nokia ****ed up something with power management ( and they are to stupid to manage to fix it)
[Nokia Lumia 800] piattj:
I believe it's generally acknowledged that current crop of smartphones are pushing the limits of battery technology - witness the many forums (Nokia, LG, Apple, etc etc) where the issue of battery drain is debated.

While my L800 is in dock with Nokia for repair or whatever, T-Mobile loaned me a Nokia 2330 (not so smart-phone) and I've had it 4 days now, used it as I normally would use the 800 and it's still showing full battery.

Having said that, I suspect that the L800 is hungrier than many (for some reason) and/or there is a basic flaw that is still not addressed with latest FW...maybe I'm wrong.
