Hi,

I am currently using good, old iPad 1.

Via VPN I have no problems with accessing Netflix and Hulu Plus.

All I had to do was to create additional iTunes accounts in USA to get those apps.

Not even jailbrake was required.

My question is (or are):

If I will get myself one of the above tablets (TF300 or Prime - on iPad I can not watch my mkv's 720p stored on my NAS drive) will I have problem/is is diable/etc. getting both Netflix and Hulu Plus to work?

One more thought... since ICS seems to be using some sort of Chrome browser for android... is it possible to fool Hulu that I am using desktop instead of mobile device in order to avoid Hulu Plus subscription (which is annoying since quite a lot of stuff I want to watch has description "web only" and will not run on iPad despite payment).

I have a 'GooApple V5 3G':

http://www.gooappleblog.com/gooapple-v5-3g-review/

The phone works fine except don't know how to get the GPS to work.

'GPS Test' says about 12 satellites in view, but I never get any '"lock/fix".

I'm in Sweden (if it matters) and users with the same phone-model from other countries Europe and US seems to have no big problems getting their GPS to fix (though they may be a bit more tech-savvy).

Any suggestions on how I can make my GPS lock/fix?

Hi everybody, please help! (Sorry for my bad English)

-I have a Dell Streak 5 (Unlocked Version) installed Android 2.2 from Dell.

-I tried to upgrade to Gingerbread 2.3.3 using fastbook. Everything work fine, and then I tried to Root my device, Streak working fine even I turn off and turn it back on.

-After a week, the Dell cannot connect to the internet due to Network Connection error. I tried to turn it off and then it stuck at Dell logo when I turn it on.

I spent over 10 hours to fix it but it still stuck at Dell logo.

-Please give me your advice (Include steps are perfect) any advices will be appreciated.

*What I tried*

1. Installed Dell Drive ( Windows 7 recognize my Dell Streak via Fastboot)

2. Tried Retail ROM 360 and 407 with suitable recovery downloaded from here http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Dell_Streak_5

3. Tried Custom ROM

Longhorn 2.1V2

Longhorn 2.1v1

Longhorn 2.2v4

Longhorn 2.7_Red

All are from http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Dell_Streak_5/ROMs

And Custom Rom 407 (Don't remember where I downloaded this firmware)

*When select update.zip (Custom Rom) it take approximate 5 minutes to display a confirmation. After I accept the Rom installed, a new line say installed complete, but the Dell still stuck at Dell logo. I do not know what recovery version suite with those custom ROM above so I download the two latest version and tried them all (Recovery 3.27 and 3.28beta)

*When select update.pkg, it does not show me anything except the black screen with light (I mean it look like a screen with Dell logo but there is no Dell logo in this case)

*One more problem, the Dell won't charge, I plug it to USB port but some time it display 0% battery and turn off automatically.

Addition Information:

Modem version = GAUSB1A1136000

OS Version = GBUSB1A134700

Battery Charge Disabled (Do not know how to turn it on in fastboot)

Charge-State 1%0%, (While I am look at it now it raised to 3%0%)

Thanks.

Flash the amss and DSP1 files for the 360 in fastboot

Boot into recovery and flash the update package again

If you do that and it still won't boot and the qdl tool won't work either then you definitely have an issue at least with the inner SD

I tried to flash recovery.img, amss and DSP1 (360)

fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot -i 0x413c flash amss amss.mbn

fastboot -i 0x413c flash dsp1 dsp1.mbn

However, Dell cannot go through Dell logo so I cannot move on...

I do not know how to use "QDL", I am using "fastboot"

By the way, I am using Windows 7 64bit, do I need a "special" driver? so far, my computer can recognize the Dell.

Have you tried this MultiRecoveryFlasher v0.8

And download what you need from here Mirror
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdzo72:
Download the 360 update.pkg again and put it on your SD card and flash again
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragon061088:
I tried MultiRecoveryFlasher v0.8 but this tool does not support 360.

And got an error "cannot find C:\Dell"

<Maybe I don't know how to use this tool>

------------------------

I tried to download 360 update.pkg and 360 recovery.img from here http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/360/

It took awhile to confirm "update" (After select update.pkg, I have to wait for approximate 5 minutes) After that, the Dell reboot and stuck at Dell logo.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdzo72:
After it gets through flashing, AS SOON as you see the DELL logo then press the volume buttons and go into recovery and select factory reset.... In other words after it flashes don't let it try to boot without doing a factory reset
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _2bad4u_:
I thinc is the memory card, it has a problem a bad sector or something, you should try to replace the card if what cdzo72 said doesn't work.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragon061088:
I tried more than 3 times with 360 ROM. 1 time it ask me to confirm after select update.pkg, and the rest does not ask me to confirm, just black screen in approximate 15minutes and then reboot, after that stuck at Dell logo. I tried to use another external SD card. Custom ROM can recognize it but it's still not help.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
They mean the internal card hiding beneath the plastic in the battery compartment. You either have to disassemble the Streak or cut away a section of the plastic to get to it.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tenorntex:
I have a question, What Rom are you ultimately trying to get installed? Lets start there and come up with a plan.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragon061088:
@Strephon Alkhalikoi, I cut away the plastic cover then exchange "internal card" with "external card" and "external card" with "internal card"; next, I check in fastboot the Dell can recognize both of them. Internal Memory now is 16GB and External Memory is 2GB. I will try to replace a 2GB with a new one... still working on it.... Thanks

@Tenorntex,

I decide to restore to ROM 360 with it's recovery.img using fastboot

----------------------------------------------------

Boot into fastboot, wait for 10 second, connect the data cable and run the command line.

fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot -i 0x413c reboot

Press and hold up and down volume button while system rebooting

Select upgrade update.pkg (second option)

Confirm the request (sometime it does not ask me to confirm)

After update process done, press and hold up and down volume button while system rebooting again, then select factory reset (1st option)

-----------------------------------------------------

I do not know why we have to select factory reset - is that necessary?

------------------------------------------------------

After that I would like to upgrade to Gingerbread 2.2.3 or Whatever best custom ROM you recommend, too many options I do not know which one is the best. Thanks
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragon061088:
Special Thanks

Thanks everybody for your time.

I replace the internal SD card with the external card and it worked.

There is no problem to restore 360 and update to 407

Thanks again!

So how much of the 16 GB card do you see ? Because the phone can handle around 8 GB maxim after that you have to modf the kernel.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
He only did that as a test, to make sure the socket wasn't bad. At least I hope he did, because you would be right about not seeing most of the card otherwise.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragon061088:
@_2bad4u_

I check it in fastboot and I could see 16GB (15***MB)

However, I cannot download any app on Market without using external card. This could be a problem. I bought a 8GB memory card on amazon and trying to reflash

@Strephon Alkhalikoi

16GB as internal memory

8GB as External memory

I could reflash the OS, and then remove 8GB (my girlfriend memory card)

Dell still working with 16GB internal; however, cannot download any apps from market (your apps will be downloaded - that's it)

Now, I put 8GB as internal, 16GB as external and trying to reflash. I think it will work.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragon061088:
Yep, it's working now.

Double check in setting

14.83GB external

6.58 Internal

I didn't check in setting before with 16gb internal card; however, the OS working well.

I hope this should help me :)

Hello Everyone,

This is my very first post and I am a bit nervous in posting anything on the forum after I watched that video before registering here o.O :eek:

BTW, i am from Sri Lanka

Lets go:

I won a Dell Streak 5 on eBay but the seller says there is a problem with it.

It doesnt boot up. Its stuck at the Dell Splash screen and keeps rebooting (boot loop issue?).

So far, I have confirmed that the streak hasnt been messed with; hardware is supposed to be perfect and this is a software issue (according to seller)

Here is seller's exact description:

"" This phone powers on when hooked up to a computer with qdl tools. It has a boot loop issue. The Dell logo comes up but the phone does not boot up."""

Now, I know most of those guyz out there will ask me to refrain from buying it (i havent paid still :/), but I DO WANT to buy it to explore its problems and see it running again. I havent used a Streak, but love to after watching the reviews etc.

Thanks for ur patience listening to my story.

Here's my Questions (PLEASE bare with me as I am new to the forum and the Streak as well. Love the guyz here and know they will help :) )

1) Is it a Software issue or hardware issue? (from this thread, i believe it could be either of it, but i dont have the phone in hand to check it.)

If its a problem with the INTERNAL SD card, then i know how to change it as i watched a couple of videos about it)

2) I am still doing my homework about re-flashing, using QDL tools etc...I have NO idea about using it as I am new. So any leads will always be appreciated. It'd be awesome if u can share the best of links for me to learn :)

3) HOW do i check the firmware/baseband/modem version etc without the phone booting up? Is it necessary to know these info?

Thats all i have in mind right now.

Hope to hear from the Streak-a-holics soon :D

Good day!
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deysmacro:

then do wipe data/factory default.... wipe dalvik cache and then factory reset....

for further explaination... the forum pretty much covers it all such as how to fastboot and getting into recovery mode... :good:
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] no_to_noobs:
Thanks.... But... :)

Hi, and thanks for ur response :)

I have learnt a lot from this forum including how to format, re-install OS, use QDL tools etc...

BUT, I still haven't got my question (3) answered:

Question: How do i check the Baseband on the phone without it booting up???

greatly appreciate a positive answer to this question :) Did forum searching but nothing helpful emerged.

The phone doesnt boot up. It powers on and stays at Dell Logo screen and starts continuously restarting. It boots up when hooked to PC with QDL tools. Is my DELL Bricked??? From searches, I understand its not, but just to confirm....

thanks in advance!
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deysmacro:
i really dont know how to check baseband when powered off... so...

that is why i wrote the steps...

doing those steps means that you dont need to know baseband version because the custom rom and the baseband is already tallied.. :)

and if your phone still can be powered on and only stuck at dell logo... no need to worry... you phone is only software bricked...

once you got your phone into lockscreen.. you can then open settings > about phone .. to check the baseband...
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] no_to_noobs:
restarting now... :(

hi

That phone is not available any longer. Unlucky :(

But anyway, i have now won another Dell Streak 5 which is in mint condition from outside. Seller says the water indicator sticker has red crosses visible. Is it water damaged?

He also says that the phone boots up and can be used. Touch screen and everything works. Only problem is that it suddenly powers off when being used. Specially when making calls and using apps.

Any idea folks?

Software or hardware issue?

I can however get into recovery and have attempted a factory reset aswell as an update from there. I've also ran a sucessfull qdl run (streakflash) to no avail, it still sits at the dell logo and i've waited a good 30 mins. Really hoping someone can help me diagnose this one. Thanks ;).

I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem. I am having an issue when I start the camera application it just shows the camera UI but the rest of the screen where the camera preview would be is totally black. On that screen hitting the buttons don't do anything.

If I open an application which uses the camera like Instagram it comes up with the error "Cannot connect to camera" or the screen goes totally black.

I am a bit of an Android noob but I can't figure out why this is happening. I have tried clearing the camera app's cache and force restarting it. It doesn't seem to help. The only way I can get the Camera to start working again is a reboot and then it might only work when I first boot it up. If I try again 15 minutes later it starting messing up again.

If you guys need any other info let me know, thanks for the help

Might be a dumb question but have you done a factory reset? Clearing cache normally will do the trick but if not, I'd go with a reset.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tokyotapes:
Well everyone, the camera problems turned out to be a symptom of a much larger problem that started happening. The LCD eventually started going rainbow whenever there was motion on the screen or I touched it. What this has to do with the camera I have no idea but I think there was something really wrong the hardware I got.

It's hard to explain what it looked like but it was like a seizure inducing flashing of white and other colors of the rainbow. Basically the LCD was failing or there was a loose connection in the hardware somewhere. I called AT&T and they were really awesome about it; they called all my local stores to find a One X for me so I could exchange it today. They even had the store set one aside for me, nice work AT&T.

When I got to the store all the employees gathered around to see my epically failing One X and everyone agreed the screen would kill a an epileptic person in short order. 10 minutes and I was out the door with my brand new HOX fresh out of the box. Overall this was not the experience I was hoping for my first few days with the phone but it was just my turn to get a dud I guess.

Couldn't be happier now that I have a fully functional phone, this thing is seriously amazing. :D
