I received the following answer ,asking O2 for an unlocking code:

Asked.

Good evening,

I have a small problem. From a business relation i got a Dell Streak.

But the phone is locked. Is it possible for this to unluck it?

I live in the Netherlands and unfortunately can not use your network.

Is it possible to obtain this code? I understood that there is a IMEI code needed. This Imei is: ------------------------

I hope you can help me further.

Excuse me for my bad English.

Sincerely Marco Veens

Answer O2:

Hello Marco

Thanks for emailing us.

We can unlock your phone free of cost. And it'll take seven days for the

support team to give the code.

For me to help you with this, please get back to me with the second and

third character of your security answer. You can also get back to me

with correct Last bill date, Last bill amount and the Current tariff.

answer O2:

Hi Marco,

Thank you for your request.

The code you require is as follows;

0-------------

To manually unlatch a Streak,

insert a non-O2 SIM card

the device will prompt a message asking for unlatch code.

enter the unlock code provided

Dell Streak unlocked

Hi Guys,

A friend of mine has a locked Streak on O2, the network is not very helpful towards unlocking it!!!! I wanted a Streak, but when I heard of his agony of him not being able to unlock it from the network, I decided to buy it direct from Dell, I tell you what, it is cheeper, considering there is no contract and best of all UNLOCKED.

If anybody is thinking of getting a Streak, buy it unlocked. Your are better of that way. I am using Hutchison 3G UK and it works like a charm, no fuss of rebel sims or painful communication with O2 ;-)
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rebelsimcard:
To clear up all issues with unlocking

for now its possible only to use Rebel sim V1.2 with v1.6 or 2.1 Android OS

or get a code from your operator who locked it if possible

or use Postal unlocking services to fully Unlock the Dell Streak

downgrading to 2.2 from 2.1 is possible also

also upgrading to DJ Steve cooked roms that dont upgrade the baseband to 2.2 with the aid of clockwork mod

Yes, look at my contact pages in my profile.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxrfon:
There is nothing to hide.

JIC and nextgenserver.com made it and everybody hurry up to clone it :)

But it's cheap clones that have no idea how to unlock it, but just repeat commands.

check the nextgenserver.com and find your streak free.

As easy as that.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerryCodes:
JIC/NextGen solution has these disadvantages:

1) It requires complicated diagnostics driver installation. NOT good for end-users

2) Slow support

I'm publishing my own unlocker software this week and it is a LOT easier to use at similiar price. I already put it on eBay actually.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] engrgener:
Use Rebel Sim, works great on my Streak.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerryCodes:
I would not use Rebel SIM because it is prone to bad signal strength for many people and doesn't actually unlock it.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ketafix:
O2 is asking for £15 to unlock my streak, unlocking software is asking for $ 25 , on ebay its about $25 again.

Why all the money??

I have never payed for unlocking my device so don't want to start now.

I am hell bent on finding a way that doesn't involve me paying but have not been able to find anything. Nothing zilch nada. How can that be that there no free software to unlock it? their has to be something out there.

Anyone had any luck if not can anyone explain why no free unlocker is available ?

loving it on 2.2-DJ_Steve 1.8.0
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerryCodes:
Dude do you know how much work is involved in developing unlock software?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ketafix:
Well not literally but to a certain extent yes,

I am coming from apple for which unlocking software were always free except for a little while in the beginning...

So I am just wondering why the $$$ here ?

don't get me wrong, I understand that development of software especially for a small establishment is time consuming and expensive but to my knowledge I always thought unlocking codes were built into the system.

And in case of unofficial unlocking methods, it involves finding the unlocking codes which are buried deep in a systems core which they mostly are. This also means that there should be a list of all the unlocking codes for all the devices (streak) ever produced in some excel file linking all codes with IMEI numbers of divices.

This is my understanding of the matter please correct me if I am wrong.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerryCodes:
Apple free unlock is pointless because it isn't permanent. When you upgrade firmware, it is locked again.

Regarding codes, yes you can contact the network or the manufacturer and they should have the code stored somewhere. But because unlockers don't have that list, they seek different means of making codes such as creating calculators or software or get codes by what ever other means.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jateelover:
i used the software unlock and it worked perfectly....
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ketafix:
Which software did u use?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ketafix:
The software is the only way to go as of now.

But i will wait

Theirs a file somewhere inside the streak which contains the unlock codes,

just need to find it and open it with any archive opening software.

I have a dump of the root files with me and will be going through them one of these days... when I get the time that is.

When I find it I will post the location and name of file containing the codes or maybe make a software charging people for it :)

So if any one else has the time to go through each and every file looking for a number similar to that of an unlock code, get cracking.

PS. no disrespect to any one developing unlocking software. I am just a cheap freeloader student who believes in a free world :p
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamo86:
have you found the code for unlocking

thanks
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] casinovillain:
I used used the paid software from RebelSim. Eventually got it to work but had to go back to using my old XP box. I think it did not like WIN7 X64.

First time I used it it bricked my Streak. Had to fix that then downgrade to Eclair, move over to XP, upgrade to 2.2, root it. paid £15 for software, £10 support which kept going via email over a LONG time. (Had to go to sick kids for my son etc).

Pleased it worked. looking to change splash screen now, am no longer with O2!!!
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SuperKeeper:
I've just got an email back from O2 saying it will cost me £15 quid. I'll try some of these many stalls that I see in my high street and see if they can do it. But free unlocking is defo out of the question?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerryCodes:
You can try for free whether it can be unlocked or not but the actual unlock is not free. Check pdf for free compatibility test for unlocking: UnlockStreak Free
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JDouce:
call o2, and if they wont give you it, email them, then call them again, then email them again, then live webchat, they did mine after about 2 weeks of this :D nag nag nag, and if they refuse, nag more
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerryCodes:

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SuperKeeper:
It actually works though. I had a *****fit to o2 about my price plan and how I had to wait a month for it to change, so I did that live chat thing and the guy not only changed my tariff there and then, he also gave me a free month's allowance which was 300 UK texts and 500mb of internet for free!

Hi all,

How to switch on GPS programatically.

Thanks & Regards,

Dinesh
[General Questions and Answers] Brut.all:
You can't do that other way than opening GPS settings. Security concerns.
[General Questions and Answers] o4kareg:
Use SwitchPro widget, Luke
[General Questions and Answers] dineshsubramanian:
Thanks for your reply
[General Questions and Answers] Brut.all:
Hmm, are you sure it really enable/disable GPS directly? As I said I believe this isn't possible without some hacking, root access, etc. Just tried "GPS on/off" widget from the Market (because SwitchPro is paid app) and it does exactly what I said: it opens locations settings.
[General Questions and Answers] dineshsubramanian:
ok thanks for your reply.
[General Questions and Answers] dineshsubramanian:
I can Enable/Disable GPS directly. but i can't Enable/Disable GPS programatically.
[General Questions and Answers] Brut.all:
Using that SwitchPro widget?
[General Questions and Answers] o4kareg:
I am sure, becaus I'm using this widget. Older versions just opened GPS settings, but latest one v1.6 turns GPS on/off directly.
[General Questions and Answers] Scottland:
Yes it does, doesn't appear to be using root either. It's possible it could be using an exploit though?
[General Questions and Answers] Brut.all:
Maybe it requires root? Or some custom ROM? Unfortunately it's paid app and I won't pay for it just to check, how it works. I don't think it uses "clean" way to accomplish that.
[General Questions and Answers] Brut.all:
Ok, it uses Power Control widget to set GPS status. This widget is a system app, so it has superpowers (can enable/disable GPS directly) and SwitchPro let him think, that someone has clicked on GPS button.

Of course this widget isn't in official Android API, it isn't integral part of Android system, so this may not work on some devices, some ROMs, may also break totally in the future. You could use same technique, but you shouldn't.

EDIT:

Ahh and seems this widget is a huge security hole. This should be fixed, I will create an issue in Android issue tracker, if there isn't one.
[General Questions and Answers] Brut.all:
Ok, this is already in their issue tracker:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=7890
[General Questions and Answers] Scottland:
Thought as much, the dev should really go back to the 'official' way IMO.
[General Questions and Answers] grandioso:
Is there still a way to do this ? Because on the issue tracker page they said it was already "fixed" (that means broken to me :D).

I need to set auto turn on for GPS on a given time. Is that possible ?
[General Questions and Answers] Brut.all:
No. It's a feature, not a bug.
[General Questions and Answers] grandioso:
Feature of what ? Do you mean the android power management widget ?

If it's a feature, than it should still be possible to turn on GPS through it.
[General Questions and Answers] Brut.all:
It's safety concern. Google didn't give you a possibility to switch GPS purposely and only one reason, why you could do it, was that they made some security hole. Now they have fixed it, so you won't be able to switch GPS - at least without another bug ;-)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NovaFox238:
Ok, so in the dev section, the how to root part, is that way of rooting still possible after the OTA update? Probably a dumb question, but I would love to root and get rid of the Sprint stuff alrdy... lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akulamenuri:
I did toast's method as well as the unrevoked method after doing the OTA update so I say your good to go.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NovaFox238:
Does the Toast root method allow system modification in Android? or only adb? I know Revoked can only be done via- adb? (as far as removing Sprint junk?)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timothydonohue:
toast's root allows the use of adb in recovery, and then you have to use the pushed recovery everytime. i don't believe that the unrevoked root let's you do anything in recovery at all.

neither allows writes to /system while in android. toast's allows access to /system while using recovery, as long as you mount /system as writeable first. then you can remove whatever applications you wish
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] kourampies:
Im a happy satisfied user of a Touch Pro 2 for almost an year.

I think its still the best device out there, and would buy it again if needed. Anyway, after one year i notice some degradation on the battery. It sure lasts less, and the readings are inaccurate, move up & down sometimes when putting in standby and then resuming. Its not a rom flashing "battery calibration" thing, I stick with most roms for more than a month, so its probably starting to die.

Reading batteryboss interesting article, I found this one is a good option, but I would like to hear some other tested alternatives.

Also some letters on my keyboard are needing more force for the button to work. They still work though so I cant fix it through warranty, but I was thinking of getting an OEM keyboard and replacing it myself, since there might be some dried vodka under the keyboard, although the water detector is still white.:p

Im not good with tools and this kind of stuff, so only a good quality one, with tools and extensive guide supplied would be good for me. Any ideas?

That is a bit cheap for a genuine OEM. It is probably fake, possibly one of the group that has in the range of 1200 - 1300 ma.

Ive been looking for an option to set what the filename of photos are but i cant seem to see it. I pretty sure there isnt one, which is kinda disapointing. It woiuld be nice to be able to set it so pictures area easier to find when backed up.

I have t in the park coming uip (working) and it would be good to be able to set the filename to t in the park day 1, and so on for easy uploading to our webnsite and facebook.

when i had the g1 i could do this no problem.

IM starting to regret not waiting on the desire coming back in stock. the large screen just isnt making up for all the things its lacking in software.

ok i found that you can enable prefix for storage card, but i dont want date prefixing, i want custom one
[HD2 General] jdwrrzmm:
Do you just want to change the file name? Open the image in the album, bring up the controls for the picture, hit the right most icon, Properties, and Rename is located on the right softkey.
[HD2 General] veda_sticks:
No i want to set a prefix so that my photos can be orginised better. isnteam of imagennn i want for instance, t in the parknnn.

So i can basically set it, take pictures, then change it to something else etc

Get Android 2.2 Froyo on the iPhone 3G

Yes, you heard right!

[YOUTUBE]HQKfeDnMVQ8[/YOUTUBE]

Don’t know what to do with your soon to be retired iPhone 3G? Just install Android 2.2 aka Froyo on it. Sure it’s currently totally useless and sluggish (and according to those who tried it; causes the device to run extremely hot after a few minutes, but here are the installation instructions
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] gemini002:
wow i got app2sd working on my telus milestone make sure that busybox is not installed on the system i mean when u use adb to install not busybox itself (from titanium etc) if the method does not work unroot then root the try it will work.you must partition your sd card first to either ext2 or ext3 use Ubuntu to do this make sure both partitions are primary. unmount any previous Partitions that u have b4 u start then delete them .make fat32 Partition first(should be the largest)then ext2 or ext3(should be 500mb-1g)

i did not create this i have just copied and pasted it i know alot of people need this so here

. App2SD Version 2 (http://www.mediafire.com/?emhyw4tmkmh)

This revised version of App2SD is more refine. It moves cache as well as apps to MicroSD.

Steps to prepare for installation:

1. Unzip the downloaded file and you should see a folder "APP2SD Package".

2. Rename "APP2SD Package" folder to "app2sd" and move this folder to MicroSD. (place it in the root: MicroSD card/)

Next, simply connect the Milestone to your computer.

Ensure it is "Charge Only" for USB connection and USB Debugging mode for USB is turned on under Settings > Applications > Development.

Once you have the above checked, go ahead to launch a command prompt and perform the following:

Type: cd/ (to get to the root of your C: drive)

Type: cd /android/tools (to get to the folder of the Android SDK which i mentioned earlier)

Type: adb devices (you should see your Milestone serial number showing up. If you do not see serial number, it means there is no connection to your Milestone)

Type: adb shell

Type: su (make sure you do not see a prompt window on your Milestone. If you do, grant permission for it to access)

Type: cd /sdcard/app2sd

Type: sh install_use_busybox.sh (trigger installation of App2SD)

Type: y (to confirm that you want to install)

wait for the prompt to show you that App2SD is complete and a reboot is needed for it to take effect.

Type: y (to confirm reboot. You might notice that Milestone do not reboot by self which is normal)

Type: reboot (if you find Milestone do not reboot after you enter y as above mentioned)

Enjoy after the reboot... this works yes:D
