[Streak 5 General] Johny1fin:
Hi Guys,

I am not agest but I am 56 and my eysight is therfore going south.

I cannot see any mobile screen without the assistance of reading glasses.

So for me the larger the better. Having said that I think going above 5" may be impractical for a phone. I have not tried it with a bluetooth hedset yet. I have one in the attick somewhere that I have been trying to flog on car boots for 3 yrs.

The streak does go in my jeans pocket as is but I am now looking round for a decent cover that will protect but not add too much to the dimensions. That may be hard.

I have found the streak better than the HD2 in several ways.

First the additional size does help with browsing and able to fit in lots of screen shortcuts for apps/widgets etc.

It does seems faster all round.

Apps install in the native 2gb memory leaving the sd card all for myself. On the HD2 I was installing as many apps onto the SD as would work.

Some of the above is due to android yes

I am patient enough to wait for the 1.6 to 2.2 upgrade and I think Dell will come through as they have a vested interest in getting the 5" working and selling itself before bringing out 7" and 10" versions.

I am new to android but maybe Dell wanted a tried and tested version as their first tablet before going for say v2.1. I dare say thier development team is fairly new.

Android 3 looks good but may not be available on our phones until xmas 2010.

I think there is definately a market for bigger phones if only for chaps of a certain age who are still techies.

The HD2 may well have a larger market but so has the iphone and there are more reasons I don't want one of them then I can discuss here. Apps are a doddle to install on Android compared witrh any windows phone.

I would like to see manila on the Dell but that will never happen as its HTC property. The Android 3 version seems to be offering a decent GUI though.
[Streak 5 General] abezapata:
WOOT WOOT!!!!

I do not care what anyone says. I want a Dell Streak and I want it bad! I just hope this bad boy has some decent gpu performance. :)
[Streak 5 General] badaas:
Thanks fu@k orange didn't get hold of this! All I can say. Selling my TG01 to buy myself out of my 'we sell you a mobile even though there's little or no coverage in your area by our so called vast Orange network' contract.

/rant

O2 ftw.
[Streak 5 General] meatrocket:
Gave up!

Tired of waiting on Dell to pull their heads out. I was giving them until today to release and they let me down after 7 months of hype. I'm going with the Galaxy S on the 18th, F**K DELL!
[Streak 5 General] abezapata:
Agreed :cool:
[Streak 5 General] Kohawk09:
Glimmer of hope???

Per BGR: We have heard from an AT&T source that the Dell Streak is launching on July 19th on AT&T...

- Can't post a link since I'm a 'new member'... just google news it...
[Streak 5 General] okmft:
I bounced through Dell sales chats a few days ago and finally was told by someone in the Electronics and Accessories dept. that it will be available on their website on 7/16/2010. Whether or not that is true remains to be seen.

Either way, maybe one of the other phones might be better for me (like the Samsung Captivate/Galaxy S series), since it still has a pretty big screen without all the heft of the Streak. Also, the Captivate may receive wider market acceptance and more software support from Samsung as well as developers (at least AT&T and other carriers are promoting this device, which is more than Dell is doing right now).
[Streak 5 General] StarLog:
Johnny,

I am like you old as dirt, and the bigger the better. plus the browsing experience is better when bigger.

I wanted a Huewai S7 which is 7", but not available till the end of July.

Android OS rocks over the HD2 win crap. this is the last win phone I am going to have, selling my HD2 to my son....

Dell has really done a dirty deed to us all, but it should be worth waiting.
[Streak 5 General] drasifriaz:
Please dont make the mistake of buying the samsung galaxy s, its a pile of s**t, trust me i had 1, just to many problems and samsungs UI is so slow, that it lags like hell, i now have a dell streak and i couldent be happier
[HD2 General] sparkister:
Anyone had any problems or improvements with this.

I work in the middle of London and suffer from poor reception due to this buildings construction.

Once people start leaving my reception improves so i cant tell yet but i currently have move bars internally than i have had ever.
[HD2 General] tomhickinbottom:
I had issue with no 3G signal since upgrading to ROM 1.72.206.3.

Now installed the "Update for HTC HD2 (O2) UMTS900 Band" but still having issues. Seems to get 3G signal when I reboot but then looses it and doesn't come back.

Anyone else having same issue?
[HD2 General] Starfury:
Does that mean that all of our HD2's are hardware-wise capable of UMTS at 900Mhz?

If so can this O2 only update be reverse-engineered to apply to Vodafone handsets too or those handsets running custom ROM's?
[HD2 General] laxity:
I take it that this update won't work with the standard HTC ROM?

Just typical though. When I bought my HD2 (O2) I flashed it to the generic HTC ROM to get away from all the O2 crap on the phone. Since then all the updates are coming for O2 and Vodafone and none for the standard HTC generic ROM. Have HTC given up on producing generic updates? I would have thought we'd have seen more updates for the generic ROM but it looks like I was wrong :(

Cheers,

Richard.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
the regular leo already supports 900, i believe this is just a software update. (coincidentally, my phone refused to lock on to o2 for calls and data last night for about an hour, and ever since I've shown more bars in places where i get 1 bar, I'm now getting 2/3),, maybe they're going live with a network upgrade?)

probably only applies to phones on o2 network, but it installed fine in mine with a 2.13 based cooked rom. can't see any difference except that it already got better last nightbefore i applied this just now.
[XPERIA X10 General] vrs2610:
Since we got the root and everything now has anyone installed wifi helper and got the device to connect to a wpa enterprise 2 network?

if so can you post how you did it, thanks :D
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chugger93:
So I got the dust issue some others have with my Hero. After 7 months I finally got it. Still wonder why. Anyways, a few weeks ago I took it into sprint and they told me I could just a new hero. I declined because I wasn't sure of how it works with my root and custom rom on my phone.

We'll now I know that I can do a nandroid backup of my phone and do a restore, so I can get my new phone to the same state its in now...correct?

I want to get a new Hero I've decided, minus well if its free. What should I look out for though as far as RUU? I know the .5 build can be rooted right? So I could technically put my recovery console back on the new phone and do a restore. If its 1.5, I shouldn't have any worries. So should I be checking the ABOUT PHONE before I take it outta the store? Any other recommendations?

Also I wonder if I have to wipe my phone or something before giving it back to them...for security purposes.

Thanks in advance
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cp0020:
Flash The .6 Rom from the HTC website before you return it. That will wipe any sign of root off of your phone. But before that backup your nandroid to your computer. When you get your new phone check to see if its .5 or .6. If its .5 then to ahead and root then restore nandroid. If its .6 then search the forum for the "how to root cdma hero 2.1" and scroll down to the second post and click on "my personal one for testing" or something like that and download the .5 Rom and flash. Then root and then restore
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chugger93:
Great...Thanks! I will try that
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerry43812:
Yep, I have a replacement coming from sprint soon, and these answers are about right on the money for my plans.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] djr83:
Can I remove HTC Sense/Manilla and still use the HTC Calendar? It looks a lot better than the original included with WM.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chronopc:
I'm having a lot of issues with Froyo and I want to format the phone and reinstall it. However I was wondering if it was possible for me to restore the data for the application that I installed. I'm talking about things like high scores on games.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxt:
Only if you are rooted.

You can use MyBackup Pro (not free) or Titanium Backup (freeish) to backup app "data"
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DMaverick50:
Settings > accounts/privacy allows for auto restoration of settings and apps, I think it may restore app data as well...
[HD2 General] makkunbakkun:
when I updated to 2.13 there was a nice little app called my account that told information about your tmobile account.

since then I have moved on to elegancia, has anyone ripped a cab for this app?
[HD2 General] noellenchris:
here ya go
[HD2 General] Phantoms:
You can also make a internet link to http://10.184.76.164/dsb/t-mobile/myaccount/ on your phone.
[HD2 General] makkunbakkun:
thanks buddy
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piken:
Recently I decided to root my eris. It was running ota 2.1 with hboot 1.47. I followed the instructions to the letter and everything seems to have worked, but this is not the case.

Currently none of the root apps work, ie superuser permissions. I also cannot access the phone via adb as if it was not rooted.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abn75:
did you root or install one of the leaks by mistake? check your hboot version to verify what you have. if it says 1.49.xx s-off you have root, if it says s-on you either have not rooted it or have installed one of the leak versions floating around.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piken:
I flashed the rom in the root how to post in the forums.

Eris_Official_0.8.1T2.zip

I see

PB00100 XC ENG S-OFF

HBOOT-1.49.2000 (PB0010000)

when I vol down + power to get to hboot

(note I still have PB00IMG.zip in my root of the sdcard)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piken:
I have now tried 6-7 roms from the dev forum with no success accessing a shell after I install the rom. When the image from PB0100.zip is the image in use, I have no issue accessing the device with adb. But after a root rom is installed, there is no luck.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lotus22:
Is USB debugging on?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piken:
Yes, I have made sure it is. I can mount it as a partition on my box but get the following errors when trying to access the device.

~/src/add/android-sdk-linux_86/tools$ adb shell

error: insufficient permissions for device
[XPERIA X10 General] slayp00n:
Now that root has been atained, is the bootloader the next step? Is it even doable?
[XPERIA X10 General] MrPappy86:
Hy

YES

please read and search this is the 10000 post and thread about this question
[XPERIA X10 General] slayp00n:
I have read an searched, I just have not found a definitive "yes we are working on it"
[XPERIA X10 General] Skallgrim:
same here.

im also curios to know if people are working on stuff so we can get custom rooms like cyanogen mod et...

maby even a timeframe? days, weeks?
[XPERIA X10 General] gfgodoy:
And this forums are unlievable again.

Developers left this forums because of topics like these.

Give the devs some time.

Sent from my X10a
[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
I'll give you the best answers you'll get:

Yes, they are working towards customisable roms and the timeframe is "later", "in a while", "when it's done" or "anywhere between a few days to several years". It sounds harsh but it's as close to a definite timeframe one can give. Getting root is by comparison the easy part and considering how hard that was I hope it gives you some perspective on just how massive this undertaking is.
[XPERIA X10 General] Skallgrim:
thanks for the answer
[XPERIA X10 General] HunteronX:
No, i'm sure that getting root is harder (or was) than running custom roms (May not need to be 'flashed', but copied instead).

I think that cracking the bootloader for flashing unsigned images is MUCH harder to do, than both - because of the signing. So I think other methods will be used to use custom roms.

But these are only guesses and opinion, not fact.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lahma69:
Are there currently any roms that allow you to upload large videos to youtube without a wifi connection? I've heard there are, but I'm using fresh and it still requires a wifi connection to upload camcorder videos recorded on my phone that are more than a few seconds long.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phobia:
This shouldn't be here. This should be in Q/A :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lahma69:
sorry :/ I'm new to the forums. I guess I could have been a little more observant...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd2649:
I NEED this!!! very important to get this request to the Devs!! Pretty please!!! It will probably be a youtube.apk update though, not an entire rom.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazyjoezx:
This would be some thing nice to have ...especially since we have "4g" and all....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Freelancerx:
Wow you guys really are new lol you can upload you tube videos via 4g and wifi. Not via 3g
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gamescan:
How are you doing this?

I'm using an Epic, not an Evo, and have a solid 4G connection but the app still insists on waiting for WiFi. What's the point of 4G then, eh? ;)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lahma69:
Yes, how are u doing this? You are either incorrect, or you are using a rom that supports it... If u are, what rom is it? Thanks
[EVO 4G General] nbakid2000:
Is there any sort of app or break for this thing regarding volume level? I am having issues with call volume and ringtone volume on my EVO. It seems it should be a lot louder at maximum volume. It's not *horrible* but I think it could be a lot better.

Any information?
[EVO 4G General] slow4g63:
there's an app called "Volume Button Locker"

the icon looks like this...

It doesn't auto load though, so if you reboot you have to restart it.

Also if you use advanced task killer add it to the ignore list!
[EVO 4G General] markus_del_marko:
what we need is the louder volume hack app to work on the evo. has anybody even pm'ed the dev to ask him to make it work on the evo? i agree the maximum volume is much too low.
[EVO 4G General] herbthehammer:
It could be that the ringtone was recorded on the low side. There's lots of individual volume settings that can be adjusted. I'm not experiencing that problem. I used to use an app called quick settings for ask the bells and whistles it did. Now I just use it for volume levels. It does: ringer, notification, media, alarm, voice, and finally system volume levels. There may be others out there, this is one of the free ones
[EVO 4G Android Development] Neotelos_com:
UPDATE: Anyone who broke 4G using unrevoked, there is no fix yet, sorry.

I've been getting alot of questions and comments about this...

Why is this different from others?

Does not flash Recovery

Does not Flash Boot

Radio is a FULL image and not a diff

YOU MUST HAVE ALL THE 1.47.651.1 SYSTEM FILES FOR WIMAX! (Link Removed, Read)

You break your 4G being stupid, not my fault.

This is a full IMG, wont overwrite recovery or anything else, just radio or wimax!

Only requirement is to have the new system files, don't even need the last radio.

RADIO: Torrent or Direct Download

WIMAX: Torrent or Direct Download

*Disclaimer: These files work for me, if you use them properly they should work properly. I'm just not responsible for damage in any form.

If you want to support me, just check out my various websites, and spread word!

On a side note, I say "must" for the new system files as the new WiMax will break without.

I don't know about radio, but even if it does work, it's not good practice to use with older system files.
[EVO 4G Android Development] hecklbrg:
Baseband Requirement

Does this flash require that you have a certain baseband before flashing? I am running a stock rooted 1.47 rom that Caulkin posted and am still running the stock baseband radio...I have not updated to the 5.31 that toast posted yet.

Do I need to flash 5.31 radio before flashing this? Or I am ok using my stock .24 radio?

Do I need to reflash my recovery_img afterwards?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Neotelos_com:
Ah yes, I knew I forgot to say something...you do need to latest radio.

Main post updated! :)

Like I said, radio may not fully update...but it doesn't break anything and it will update WiMax
[EVO 4G Android Development] hecklbrg:
I'm guessing that this does NOT require that you use Caulkin's Wimax fix first as well?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Neotelos_com:
I'm not aware of any "fix" from Caulkin, but if you referring to his WiMax update, no you don't need it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Neotelos_com:
I'm honestly surprised nobody posted anything like this before me that didn't include the damn recovery. :cool:

It's annoying to have to flash recovery when it's not needed.:p
[EVO 4G Android Development] jerryparid:
So I would have to flash Calkulin's 1.47.651.1 on top of DC 3.2.x then this radio file?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ekt8750:
My sentiments exactly.

Anywho has anyone gotten this working yet? I'm not one for subjecting my phone to be a guinea pig when bricking is a possible side effect.

Does any ROM based on the 1.47.651.1 update work with this or does it have to be the stock ROM?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jwegman:
Neotelos_com, did your Baseband version change to reflect this update? Mine hadn't...
[EVO 4G Android Development] SiL3nTKiLL:
good stuff, gonna look into this...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Neotelos_com:
I did check and it seems it did not.

I'll look into this, I personally would like the new radio.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Neotelos_com:
I've done it!

I don't know how but I am the first person to have the full new radio image! :)

WiMax update will be added back in soon!
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
is this based off of the OTA released yesterday which was 21.4 MB or the OTA released today at 30.2 MB ?

im still grabbing the 30.2 MB OTA released today over my slow 3g right now so i haven't had a chance to compare the OTA .zip from yesterday to the one today.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Neotelos_com:
I wasn't aware of a new OTA today, these would be based off yesterdays.

It's possible Sprint just switched from a diff for the radio, that would cause about 10mb size difference....in witch this will be the same thing.

No guarantees though, until we find out.
[EVO 4G Android Development] KERKEDAGAIN:
why is it a MUST that we use the .47 system files?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Neotelos_com:
It's been said WiMax wont work without.

I don't know about radio...but you can go ahead and try the radio.

It can always be reverted back using toasts old radio update.zip :)

It's just good practice to use the system files that these were designed for.

I'm still running DamageControl as a base (with .47), it didn't need a clear for me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] KERKEDAGAIN:
ah, ok..i shall report back w/ my findings!
[EVO 4G Android Development] grkfire:
Radio flashed ok. Tried flashing the WiMax zip and it failed and said it couldn't find the radio.diff?
[EVO 4G Android Development] davidlightle:
I did notice the wimax zip has the update-script still looking for the radio.diff to update. This probably needs revised?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Neotelos_com:
haha, my bad, I will have it fixed asap
[EVO 4G Android Development] mongoose8p:
just say you got locked out of your phone and sprint CS will give it to you
[EVO 4G Android Development] l33tlinuxh4x0r:
Could everyone's problems with the 4G not working be stemming from the fact that we don't have the latest PRI? I believe it is version *.40.* opposed to *.37.*
[EVO 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Wow this radio update REALLY improves my 3G reception. My house has good 3G coverage, as long as you're outside, but once you step inside, it usually drops to 1xRTT unless you're near a window. Now I can hold EvDo the whole time!

Epic!

Haha I won't have the chance to try out 4G till Saturday when I go up to the city, but I sure hope it works!
[EVO 4G Android Development] awesomeindeed:
My PRI is .34 and I have 4G working outside of Chicago.
[EVO 4G Android Development] l33tlinuxh4x0r:
Yeah I just rerooted and updated maybe it is supposed to be 34 because that is what I have now however my friends phone that is completely stock has 40. Anyway here is to hoping that 34 makes mine work *crosses fingers*
[EVO 4G Android Development] kabrutus:
mine is 40 and i still have issues with 4g
[EVO 4G Android Development] PlankLongBeard:
Okay, I have been trying to get this across so that others can see... The ota update locks out any unannounced 4G towers and networks.. as far as the wimaxx radio writing as it should.. well, we will see when calkulin and unrevoked find the nifty gritty of it..

As for now, using the .6 firmware and updating the radio and wimaxx all is well with 4G.. it is an issue with the ota Rom itself, as when I flash either deodexed or odexed of the .47 I cannot access the networks, which we all now know its here..
[EVO 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
lmao are you an attorney or in school to be one?

you missed what I would deem the most important question I asked... What are the benefits if ANY lol thank you
[EVO 4G Android Development] pseudoremora:
I was pretty certain my statement answered your question, though I never stated the word "benefit". I apologize.

Your question:

My answer:

I thought my statement clearly answered your question, though the only thing missing was the word "benefit".:rolleyes:

However, I'll restate my answer:

The benefit of a signed package are for people using Amon_RA's recovery. There have been some users who get verification errors when trying to flash (like myself) -- the solution is to sign any and all packages that will be flashed, because Amon_RA's recovery verifies every package to make sure that it has a valid signature.

That okay? :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] plmiller0905:
I flashed both the radio and wimax update over my Damage Control Rom

(Ver. 3.2.2) and my 3g service would not stick. My 3g icon would come on then suddenly go off. I'd get a message that my network connection is not active. So I'd go into setting>network and there would be a check mark indicating that I am connected to my Mobile data. So I'd uncheck it and check it again, then the 3g icon would display then quickly go away again.

Do anyone have any ideas how I could make my 3g stick?

Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] bprinehart:
I ended up flashing the radio and the wimax image from recovery over DC 3.2.2, and it just sat on scanning for 4G, Soooo...

I did a nandroid restore back to DC 3.2 it kept the newer baseband, reverted back to .6 system software, and I am now able to hold and maintain a 4G connection from my house where I never could consistently before. There is definitely something broken in the .47 software. However I seem to be having no issues with my current settings and will keep them until the OTA has its issues sorted.

Cheers
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrmomoman:
I get the exact opposite using JoeyKrim's ROM which was ODEX when the first release of .47 came out. My 4G was not working and then I applied Calukins' WiMax update and it worked great. I get double my speeds and sometimes triple for 4G.

Strange how they behave all differently.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bpdamas:
I hate splitting hairs but I think MSL stands for Master Subsidy Lock. Just throwing that out there but no big deal either way.
