[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squishygoboom:
Hello Everyone, I'm totally lost :confused: Usually I can figure these things out myself by just following the directions but this phone is confusing. Not to mention I have no idea what was done to it.

I bought a used Dell Streak 5 after my phone took a dive down a flight of stairs (RIP phone). I thought this Streak was stock since that's what he posted in his ad, but apparently the guy rooted it and has an old version of the DSC rom on it (1.0 I believe). I do not like this rom at all, either because it needs to be updated or because something is wrong with this phone, I don't know. It reboots itself, even while I am on the phone, hangs constantly even when I try to do simple things like open a web page (I'm not expecting much out of a 3 year old phone--email, texting, web browsing, light app use like eBay etc). I want to either restore it to stock or put an updated custom rom on it, but 1) I have no idea what this guy did to it; there doesn't seem to be any recovery software on the phone and 2) every time I follow the directions here (rename the file update.pkg, press both volume buttons while pressing power etc), I get the option to update via the SD card, but after I choose that the phone restarts and hangs on the Dell logo, which forces me to pull the battery and then I'm stuck just going back to the home screen with this rom on here.

I don't know if it's me being stupid (if it is please tell me and if possible, please steer me in the right direction :eek:) or if it's something this guy did to the phone. I can't return it (I would have already if I could). Thanks!
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Well, you should certainly be able to restore it to stock, but I'm going to recommend using the current version of DSC and installing a custom recovery. However, before you get to that point we need to make sure your recovery is properly installed.

Your starting point is this thread: Everything you wanted to know about the Streak but were too busy bricking it. Within it you will find a link to the Dell Streak Flashing Guide, which will give you directions on how to enter into fastboot mode. You will also need to get the Dell drivers for ADB, or else the Streak will not be recognized in Windows. You'll find them here.

Once you are familiar with getting into fastboot mode and have the drivers installed, download MultiFlasher from the link in my signature and extract the files within the zip file to a directory on the root of your hard drive. Put your Streak into Fastboot mode, connect the Streak to the PC using the Streak's cable, then run MultiFlasher and follow the prompts to install the recovery image.

For DSC and all rooted stock ROMs I recommend installing Streakmod Recovery (included with MultiFlasher) as ClockworkMod recovery (also included) has an issue with hanging while attempting nandroid backups on stock ROMs.
[HTC One S] TheCrow1372:
Everytime I look at my battery monitor 'GSam Pro' it shows apps that are running and eating my battery life in particular 'Poynt' which I don't use everyday but it is always running, I've used 'Advanced Task Killer Pro' and killed many processes but 'Poynt' does not show up in tasks to be killed and even in my 'System Tuner Pro' it does not show up so my question is how to KILL it? When I go into my apps and look at 'Poynt' I do have the option to 'Force Close' it but it always has a pop up saying 'May Cause App to Perform Badly', what to do and how to kill apps such as this that are obviously eating my battery and I'm also using 'DS Battery Pro' to monitor my phone?:(
[HTC One S] greatdaneduke:
You can force close. The worst is you will have to enjoy. You might want to root. The other option is to disable the app in Application Manager. Private message me if you need help.
[HTC One S] TheCrow1372:
Ah what ru talking about, 'the worst is you will have to enjoy' and I'm waaaay past being rooted bro so again I know your trying to help but your comments make absolutely no sense??
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Does it have an icon for it?
[HTC One S] TheCrow1372:
Poynt, yes
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Use TB and find the icon and freeze it.
[HTC One S] TheCrow1372:
Will it still work properly if I need it later?

Ya just unfreeze and if need be a reboot to make sure.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrimPivo:
Hi everyone!

I have a car (Nissan) with Daewoo non-dvd audio system, with bluetooth. And I have annoying problem with contacts (mostly in russian language) synchronisation between car audio and S3 - during incoming call I see some odd characters on car audio display, instead of russian letters.

So, I think this is because of my car audio doesn't understand encoding of phone's phonebook.

And one moment - it seems to me that contacts are not stored in car audio, but taken from phone each time.

Simple question: what can I do to see russian letters on car audio dispaly? :)

PS: All contacts im my S3 synched with google account.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eytan123:
it's more likley that the car audio system doesn't support russian letters.

i have changed my contacts to english names long ago, now it syncs perfectly with my car, voice commands, facebook etc..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrimPivo:
There is a full support of russian letters, because iPhone + car audio = no problems with russian characters in contacts. And in addition, via Bluetooth Audio my S3 can transmit MP3 tags in russian.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eytan123:
in that case it is something with the encoding i guess.

sorry, i don't have any suggestions for you, hope you'll sort this out somehow.

BTW have you tried to flash an aosp based rom? they have a larger language support by default.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] abcdjdj:
Using apktool try decompiling the lockscreen apk. I think that it is uxpnxtlockscreen.apk. Not sure about that. After decompiling, go to res folder and drawable. Then search for the lockscreen wallpaper file and replace it. Then recompile it with apktool. I highly recommend Stalin Sallu's guide for decompiling the apk. Good luck.:D

i also want the lockscreen...

:):confused::mad:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] abcdjdj:
Keep the same name

Yes, you will have to rename the picture that you want to insert to the same as that of what is already there. Only then will you be able to repack the apk. If you change the name of the inserted picture to anything else, then the apk will not be able to find that particular picture for the lockscreen and it will most probably not work. Change the picture, but keep the name same as the name of the original picture and you should be good to go.:cowboy:

[General Questions and Answers] lauch123:
Hey guys,

my question is related to my LG Optimus 2x/Speed's custom ROM. It's an unofficial CM9 ROM by MrHyde (?). I don't remember its full name. The Kernel is described as "3.0.33-NovaKernel-ICS-1.0-6". The Android-Version is "4.0.4". The CyanogenMod-Version is "9.0.0-RC0-p990-UNOFFICIAL". My question is: which Bootloader am I using at the moment and will I be able to install a new custom CM10 without hard- or software problems? (Mivv's CM10.1 would have been my choice) There's a ICS-Bootloader requiered and because I'm actually using ICS I might have it in use!??

Thank you!

Best regards

Lauch :)

Edit: Is the mnt/sdcard/ folder the one for my external SD card only? Is it possible to install the ROM inapp with CWM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tdelet:
I upgraded from an early December 10.0 Cyanogen on Verizon GNex to yesterday's latest nightly. The Android updates look great, but one funny difference.. The old build allowed "extra" icons in the Trebuchet dock (I used to have 7 icons there). The current version only allows five or fewer. Anyone know the reason for the change or if the ability to add the extra icons will be back? (or if there is some way to get it back?)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gnex81:
Go with Apex or Nova launcher, they allow up to 7 icons in the dock.

Thank you for your reply but i want the official 2.3.6 android because i want to sell the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] coolsandie:
You can install that modified stock ROM. It looks exactly same as a stock 2.3.6. When I sold my device it had CM7.2 on it and the shopkeeper was very impressed by its features compared to stock. So I don't think they will really look into it, even if you are on stock or custom ROM. Actually many shopkeepers don't even know what a custom ROM is. Anyways its all your choice but I don't think Odin could work without USB. How about Mobile Odin by Chainfire? I'm not sure whether it is supported by Gio.

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Laur96:
Thank you but i have USB and i can connect the phone to PC but in Odin when i click start tells me to connect the devide.

P.S.: sorry for my bad english! I think you understand what I mean!
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] shwe:
Make sure u have installed USB driver for your phone.

And the correct Odin version (4.42)

U need to connect PC with your phone in download mode.

I have USB drivers installed and i have Odin 4.42 and i connect the phone in download mode but still doesn't work.

Does your USB cable works with other devices?

If it is does, then your phone's USB port is damage.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] James Smalls:
I have a Defy Plus on GB T-mobile. Last wek, for some reason it suddenly showed the Android figure with a warning triangle behind it. I decided to do a restore but couldn't get the soft restore to work. I switched off and restarted, holding the power down button and entered the restore menue. I selected the wipe/factory restore. This is when my problems began.

My phone is stuck, it shows an android figure with a box behind it and an arrow coming out of the top, theres a hatcheted line below, which on occasion moves. This sits on screen for a while before going back to the motorola logo and then the android figure again. I've left the phone like this for over 12 hours, with the charger plugged in. No change.

I downloaded the Motorola software update and it tries to update the software but near the end, when it asks me to reboot. I end up back with the android and box figures.

I can't get back to the restore menue, to try wiping data or cache.

Any suggestions - motorola customer services just say send it to their repair centre.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I tried to flash the GB tmobile rom & a couple of others. It goes through setup, then asks me to manually resart. When I try, it goes back to the android figure with the box behind it.

The only way I can get rsd lite to reconnect and finish the setup is to re-enter bootloader.

Hello to all and sorry for approximate English!!!

I have bricked my razr I after to have used RSD lite and at the time of restarting that this has never restarted!!!

Now I have a green diode which ignites during a few seconds then 2 rumble and it off.

Thus RSD lite does not re-know it any more, once connected on a PC, I just have the right(law) for the green led lit(switched on) longer!!!!

And sometimes my PC tries to install a driver MEdfield which it never finds!!!

It can it be a solution?

Have you other solution ?
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hazou:
did u downgrade from JB to ICS with rsd lite? Than your Razr i is one giant brick. At the moment there is no solution for that.

Effectively, I am pass of ICS then JB then ICS then JB with no problem at all, my problem has place during one update with JB under RSD LITE That this made these 11 stages normally then at the time of restarted the such has never restarted!!

I am huge fan of Hashcode's work and prior to yesterday was running a 3.x version of his code with no problems.

I decided to jump to 4.2 yesterday and love it so far.....except. I cannot get Netflix past the loading screen. I can log in, see my shows and select one and it is stuck at loading.

So far I have cleared cache, reinstalled Netflix, and even reinstalled the ROM, still the same results.

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coronado is dead:
So, here's the deal. I just got my RAZR M on Feb. 1st. I upgraded from a Droid X that was rooted and running a custom ROM for about 2 years.

Now, I know the ROM scene for the M isn't huge, but some apps I used do use root. I know Moto put in that root checker, but has anyone actually had a return/warranty declined because of it?

I know of course that it is a gamble and that it can always be declined, I am just curious if anyone has actually had that issue. Sucks to lose a year warranty to be able to run a few apps correctly.

Thanks!

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coronado is dead:
Well that's a little disconcerting. I wonder if that has to do with the persistent root checker or some other check in the system files.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Remcotjuuh:
Hey guys,

I just received my new black TPU case. It fits next to perfectly and makes my phone feel way more sturdy, so I'm very happy so far :). Now I have one question: will TPU cases become hot easily? Of course too much heat will not be good for my phone and when it turns summer here again, I want to know if it might get my phone to become too hot, especially since it's black.

I don't know if it is a stupid question, but then I will know that at least too ;)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scream4cheese:
That's a strange question.

It sounds like your trying to say if the tpu case will emit heat on its own. LOL

1. You should not leave your phone out in the sun. That's how it gets hot during the hot summer. (That's why you have pockets.)

2. The environment you're in will affect the temperature of the phone but not too much. For example, a outside temperature of 25 degrees Fahrenheit will decrease the temperature to about maybe about 4-5+ degrees lower. But the phone is still operable.

3. I have been using tpu cases for years and it has never been a problem. I never thought about it either. You bought the case you use it. Otherwise, you can leave it naked and free.

(Please don't leave your phone out in the hot sumer hot.) Keep it in your pocket or backpack with the case on and away from hard objects that can damage the screen.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Remcotjuuh:
Thanks for your reaction. I didn't mean that it would emit heat, but more that it would trap it. The thing I was concerned about would in be in summer in my room whilst the phone would be charging. Especially when I'm playing the PS3 there in summer temperature would rise quite a bit and the battery of my old ace went up to 40°C
