Its hard to say Diane without me going through your phone and haveing a look ,a hard reset may be the solution especially if it signed you up to something. if its only swype stopping you doind a reset a have the apk for swype,if it was me i would reset :)
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] flumps:
root your phone and install adfree from the market. problem solved. :P

just wipe the phone, its quicker than fannying about trying to find out what happen. never install programs that look iffy. basically this comes from experience. troll the market and get to know the market trends. but really if you want to install free apps and believe me there are some fantastic free apps, just root your device and install the adfree program and you will never see them again
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] lufc:
Thanks for the add free, learning every day and loving the streak
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] shEEEsh:
If starting from scratch is what I have to do to get rid of these annoyances, then I may as well root it first. BUT ...

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha ... I HAVE NO CLUE HOW TO DO THAT!! Even thinking about doing it scares me. I am such a coward. I visualize myself holding the "brick" and saying out loud to nobody .. "NOW WHAT?"

I remember opening FULL windows mobile on my first HTC Shift. I printed out the instructions and highlighted each step as I completed it. You would think I was doing brain surgery.

Diane
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] lufc:
Yep it is scary Diane but very easy,well i thought so anyway go here

http://android.modaco.com/content/d...-4399-how-to-root-your-dell-streak-superboot/

Read how to do it first but basically download the super boot,,,Put your device in boot loader mode,,Unplug the device from your PC,,, remove the device battery,,, then replace it and turn device on with the camera button pressed. Select the 'fast boot' text on the top right, wait around 10 seconds then plug the device into your PC. The screen display should change to 'FAST BOOT MODE'. If it doesn't, repeat and retry,,,if you are using WINDOWS - double click 'install-super boot-windows.bat'

Wait for it to Finnish and viola

A couple of programs you will need as well are Root Explorer and a good file explorer i use ES File Explorer both can be found in market place free

Hope that has helped you any probs shout some one will come running and good luck :)
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] flumps:
agreed. very easy to root. one of the easiest devices infact. ive rooted G1/desire/nexus one/G2/droid/x10 and the streak was the easiest of them all. it is pretty much:

place item on sd card>flash>profit
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] shEEEsh:
Well .. maybe I will give it a try tonight or later. Android is so new to me I don't even know how to sync anything .. not my contacts or anything. I need the book, Android for Dummies I think. I have been a WinMo person since the beginning of time .. I guess that was WinCE... Hope I can find my SWYPE download email .. I cannot do without swype .. besides being an android virgin, that is the one thing keeping me from taking the rooting-step.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] shEEEsh:
I will come back at noon .. gotta figure out how to get the 'stuff' on to my card. but for now I should get in the shower. Should have been at the office 30 minutes ago.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] lufc:
Here is SWYPE for you :)

http://hotfile.com/dl/53625035/d463ee3/swype.android.inputmethod.v1.56.30.7625.WVGA.apk.html
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] shEEEsh:
Thanks so much for swype .... I have build 3562 which is NOT listed .... Do I need to upgrade first ?? How ?
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] lufc:
Go to Settings,,,,, About,,,,,, Device Update,,,, is there an update their for 4399 :)
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] shEEEsh:
I was really ready to give it a go. Ready to root my Streak but my phones build is neither of the two mentioned .. Mine is Build 3562. I don't know what that means as far as rooting goes .. Waiting for someone to hold my hand I guess.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] shEEEsh:
Tells me I am up to date .. with my 3562 build. Could that be because it is a USA Dell ??
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] fards:
in that case you may need the _31 update, it appears the _21 are UK and _31 are US

http://mobileupdate.dell.com/LatestBuild/LatestBuild_31.html

info from here :

http://android.modaco.com/content/d...-4399-update-still-android-1-6-now-available/

anyway there's no rooted US roms yet, you'll need to speak to Paul at Modaco to see about getting it done.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] shEEEsh:
Just wondering .. I click on the link and that's it ?? or do I need to do anything special ?? Can I download to my computer, copy to SD card and then install ?
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] fards:
Either/ or

Easiest way is to go through your streak browser, as its pretty much automatic, I'm not sure if that way wipes your streak, but it may do.

If you download on desktop pc then copy to sdcard, you'll need to rename it to update.pkg and boot into recovery mode (press both volume buttons at the same time as turning the streak on). Then follow the onscreen instructions

This won't give you root but should give you the latest software... Be aware it will wipe your device, (not the sdcard) so make sure your contacts and anything you may have saved on internal memory)etc are synched
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] shEEEsh:
I am gonna give it a go .. Nothing much to lose on the Streak and if worse comes to worse .. I will have an excuse to go back to my iPhone. Still .. Fingers crossed.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] shEEEsh:
1st problem. At first I was going to download the file in my browser but changed my mind .. Can't get it to stop .. I have even taken out the battery and restarted. My streak is determined to download that file no matter what.

I am going to just let it carry on. I don't have the Streak connected to wi-fi so this is going to be timely . . but it is just a waste of time because ..

I tried the doing the update by installing it on my sd card .. All seemed to be going well .. then I got this message. "fota model name mismatch system will reboot in 30 seconds ... "

AND SO .. NOTHING NEW .. NO CHANGES ..
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] shEEEsh:
The download finished and I clicked to install etc .. Got the same error .. and it wouldn't install.

Diane
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] fards:
mm sounds like its not going to work on your beta one then.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] shEEEsh:
Maybe I should eBay it. Someone said maybe they are already rooted ?? Would that prevent them from updating ?
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] AuirR:
Check your version, it should be end by 00.

Thus there is no update now for this version.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] shEEEsh:
Do you mean Baseband version ?? Yes, that does end with 00.

Diane
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] AuirR:
Yes, the Baseband version.

[Legend Accessories] pjhoughton1976:
I have been looking for a remote/mic that I can plug my own headphones into, or a handfree/remote with quality headphones which is Android 2. 1/2.2compatible.

Does anyone know any, as I don't like the ones that came with my legend
[Desire Themes and Apps] kekkle:
[YOUTUBE]uHrTT0XAPJg[/YOUTUBE]

But is it really that much better than the HTC keyboard? I'm not a fan of Swype to be honest. I like tapping much more, especially since I don't always use standard words, which can be annoying with Swype then.

Download:

1. Search for it on the android market.

2. Or use this QR Code:
[Desire Themes and Apps] FSake:
Thanks for posting this.

I have to say Ive just tried this and it seems very good. Might be my favourite so far out of the Stock keyboard, HTC Mod, and Swype. Time will tell though. Only wrote a few texts with it, but it does seem quick.
[Desire Themes and Apps] StuMcBill:
So far, I quite like it.

I wish it would stop inserting spaces after punctuation and word selection though.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Fightspit:
Other languages than English are supported ?
[Desire Themes and Apps] andycted:
I like it a lot, also because it can learn from your sms history and HTC IME mod is extremely poor in dictionary.

So far it's working ok, but it needs some fine tuning in the interface and it allows just one language for now!
[Desire Themes and Apps] kekkle:
US/UK English

Spanish

French

German

Italian

Portuguese

Dutch

Swedish
[Desire Themes and Apps] s4nd3rs:
Was blown away by first message... typed a full sentence and only had to press the first letter of a few words and space bar the rest.

Have been using BetterKeyboard for a while now, but SwiftKey immediately outdoes it's prediction and easier to select other words. Hopefully this takes off and skins are developed etc... keys felt a touch smaller than BK.

edit: "I love you." = , [space], [l], [space], [space] - still has the same meaning :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] sparksalot:
the QR code goes to LogMeIn ignition
[Desire Themes and Apps] tlayh:
Is there a work around to use two language packs? I need the german language pack for most of my things but like in this forum and for twitter and so on I need the english language pack.

Greetings,

Thomas
[Desire Themes and Apps] coriron:
brilliant

Love the keyboard! only thing i've noticed so far is that double tap on the spacebar does not put a '.' in
[Desire Themes and Apps] kekkle:
Thanks for the heads up. Fixed it.

Not that I know about. I uninstalled it quickly after. I still love the Sense keyboard more.

With Sense you can type something like:

gey, egat ere yuu diing ronught?

It will actually manage to fix it to:

hey, what are you doing tonight?
[Desire Themes and Apps] tlayh:
Well, as long as there is no multi language support for this keyboard I will have to switch back to sense too. But I have to say the the Swift keyboard is the best keyboard I tried until now (besides the original keyboard).

Greetings,

Thomas
[Desire Themes and Apps] aukarakiri:
it' cool very cool.

But it's very boring that add a space every time.

If I want to add a three point I have to cancel the space.
[Imagio General] juntjoo:
how do i stop this? i'd like the phone to automatically lock or something to prevent this from happening. it appears that first, the screen with all of your apps opens, then my cheek or whatever hits a program. any ideas? thanks
[Imagio General] mmarsh665:
Does this happen when you make a call, or when a call comes in?

If you phone is locked and you get an incoming call, after you answer it remains locked except for the calling options (i.e end call, flash, etc.) but I'm not too sure if you dial out though but ive never had this problem...
[Imagio General] ackmanc:
this happenes to me too. my cheek will hit the screen and either open things or call someone else while on the phone. It is annoying.
[Imagio General] BRosenow:
This really should not happen, as the device has a proximity sensor that should turn off the screen when the device is held up to your face. If you make a call with the phone held in your hand and you cover up the top of the phone, say the top 2 inches, with your other hand, does the screen blank? It should. If not, the proximity sensor may be bad and a replacement is in order.
[Imagio General] juntjoo:
programs that require it say i don't have it and quit.i just got the latest like within a month and this still is happening.
[Vibrant General] welch:
Hey. First time poster, and new to android development. I have had the G1 and use the cyanogen mod, but with the new vibrant on order I am starting to look at what it can do. How hard and if it can be done, how, would one put a stock 2.2 build ( like whats on the N1 ) on the vibrant?
[Vibrant General] deviusdragger:
Dude there really isnt much to read as far as the vibrant goes, so if you would have read you would see the answer is no....lazy. :)
[Vibrant General] welch:
Ill admit it. Glanced at the first few posts and didn't think it was going to answer my question. But after reading through them, found several boards with the information. Thanks though
[Vibrant General] gothdroid:
Just to let you know this weekend my whole entire purpose in life is going to be getting CM6 to run on the Vibrant
[Vibrant General] welch:
Looking forward to CM6. The touchwiz stuff doesn't really sell for me, nice but not needed. Really looking to see how CM6 with 2.2 Dalvik JIT runs on this phone. I am seeing fast and power in the future.
[Vibrant General] MINUS Stl:
I've actually asked Cyanogen if he might work on CM for the Vibrant (seeing as I'm probably getting one and need CM!). He stated that the Vibrant and DroidX were at the top of the list of devices. Well, seeing the issues with the DroidX's bootloader and "e-fuse", the Vibrant is possible. He'll definitely be getting a donation from me once I have the Vibrant.

I'd post the tweets, but don't really have time.
[Vibrant General] J-Hop2o6:
NICE! can't wait to see the progress
[Vibrant General] MINUS Stl:
I'll just leave this right here. :D

http://twitter.com/kmobs/status/18628575496

Not trying to get anyone's hopes up, but.....chances are looking very good.
[Vibrant General] cojonesx:
looks like thats still the vibrant build (look at the icons on the notification bar) with ADW running, so I'm not too hopeful yet!
[Vibrant General] MINUS Stl:
Ah, very true. Didn't think of that. :o
[Vibrant General] sombionix:
First of all, yes, you will EVENTUALLY be able to put 2.2 on your Vibrant.

Second, this thread belongs in the general section.
[Vibrant General] ryan562:
x2.

i'm no fan of touchwiz either. for the mean time i'm using a home theme app called "launcher pro" which looks and operates just like froyo 2.2 minus the flash capabilities of course. runs very fast and smooth for what it is. i'll be running this until froyo actually comes out.
[HD Mini General] matt_l:
I am in the market for a new Mp3 player and thought about getting the HD mini, then use that as my phone and mp3 player. At the moment I have a Tytn2, Kaiser, Tilt, whatever you want to call it.

My only concerns are how well it can perform as an MP3 player and that the screen resolution can be a downside as I have heard alot of programs don't run, but on the other hand I have heard that there are not a of problems with running them.

My options are

Keep my Kaiser, but buy a iPod Touch

Don't get an MP3 player and just get the HD Mini to act as both phone and Mp3

Thanks
[HD Mini General] bchau:
Carryng 2 devices is a pain for me when one would do. The HTC HD Mini comes with the its music and video player, in addition to other goodies. If I were you I would just get it instead, having the additional benefits of updating the phone as well.
[HD Mini General] bart3385:
HD mini is a great music player. There's a similarity to iPod. The graphics, colors, the way the album art is displayed, is much more impressive than iPod. Plus you don't have to be locked down by iTunes and DRM. Just throw in any MP3/WMA you can find. Anything from your old library.

In my personal opinion, much better than iPod. That's just my own personal opinion. I've tried iPod before. I find the dial thing quite confusing to use. Not intuitive. You usually have to do things the long way. Only plus factor is it looks cool to swipe on the dial with your finger. But prioritizing form over function doesn't impress me at all. So this paragraph may not apply to you, or many others who find iPod easy to use.

One note though. HD mini's speaker is just so-so ok. Not an impressive "wow" speaker. But that won't be a problem if you intend to use ear phones anyway.
[Captivate General] madjsp:
Anyone know what the price is going to be without contract?

I contacted an AT&T retail store and they didn't really know, but had read that Samsung posted $350 dollars on facebook. That seems low to me.

I haven't seen any pricing for non-commitment anywhere. Thanks!
[Captivate General] nahrah:
+1

I would also want to know, because I'm planning on buying it with no contract.
[Captivate General] tysj:
Facebook

ShareATT Twitter

Hopefully this is the actual price since a few people are able to confirm it with a few AT&T reps.
[Captivate General] abezapata:
OMG if this is the price for the phone I am definitely getting this phone off contract and using my upgrade for another phone aka iPhone 4 to sell for a profit!!!!!!!!!!
[Captivate General] sl8125:
How much is IP4 going for?
[Captivate General] abezapata:
$700+ on ebay!!!!!
[Captivate General] madjsp:
I had my iPhone 4 since it came out (16 gb) and used it the whole time.

I just put it on craigslist and sold it for 600 in less than a day.

Now, I have money for the captivate!!!
[Captivate General] E_man5112:
What kind of fees would AT&T charge you for the switch? If it really is $350, I'll do the same :D
[Captivate General] LGSilva:
Yes! The price is $350 without contract! That's very nice, I'll check tomorrow my local AT&T store to see if they have any in stock already as some people already bought it.
[Captivate General] madjsp:
I'd love to go get one tomorrow, but I go to an authorized retailer and there is one person in particular that I deal with. She's always treated me well, and they are a lot nicer than AT&T retail stores. She is out of town until monday :( I guess I'll be waiting for my phone 'til then.

The one thing I know nothing about is how to load custom roms, as this is my first open source phone! (first had symbian, then iOS) I am excited to see what else is out there.
[Captivate General] bigo1087:
If its only $350. I'll be buying this Phone off Contract ASAP.

Even tought i wanted an HTC or Motorola. Device ie nexus one, desire. This will do, since my G1 keeps overheating and is on its last legs.
[Captivate General] TexUs:
There's people been buying them since yesterday for $350 off contract, so the pricing is real.
[Captivate General] willthebill:
wow $350?!...hard to believe really when the tmo version is $499.

http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/phones/Cell-Phone-Detail.aspx?cell-phone=Samsung-Vibrant

wait and see 3 more days...
[Captivate General] davehries:
I just returned from AT&T here they let me handle the phone. He showed me the price of the off contract phone as $300.00. He was shocked, but it was right there in living color. They will sell me one this Saturday morning. I will be there.
[Captivate General] Finch44:
Wowz0rz

If this pricing is the same here in Arizona Ill be posting my HD2 for sale, use that money to buy a Captivate, and use my phone upgrade for an Iphone4, turn around and sell that beast as well.. Should come out wayyyyyyyyyyyy on top. Good god what a good deal. Thank you AT&T for getting something right. :D:D:D

Good luck to all who seem to be going down this cash flow road. Wooooop!
[Captivate General] madjsp:
@willthebill - I am surprised that the Captivate is going to be 350 when the one for t-mobile is 500 as well! I am quite excited about it!
[Captivate General] abezapata:
Thats was what I thought when I heard the Captivate was only going to be 350 off contract!! I can not wait to get that iPhone 4 and post it up on ebay to sell it to some iPhanboi.
[Captivate General] Finch44:
HaHAHAHAHA. Exact. Same. Thought. Process. They just eat those things up. In a way Im glad their out there. Who else would be dumb enough to pay $600 for a phone that needs duct tape to work? I love our Isheep. :D

!!!!!!!!!!LLLLLLOOOOOLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!

​

.
[Captivate General] abezapata:
It is the very sad sad truth. On the bright side I am getting a very bad a** Android device that I can not wait to get my hands on. :D
[Captivate General] nahrah:
my thoughts exactly buy it off contract , then upgrade to the iphone 4 and sell iphone 4 and may my money back and some....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dc41:
Is there such a beast for Windows Mobile? I found MobileGX P3Kit but it only runs once in demo mode and didn't log its readings, and the company appears to have gone out of business. Site link doesn't work.

Wasn't sure if this post belonged in the General or Networking forum. Sorry if I guessed wrong. :o
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] AdamiX:
@stephj: Thanks for this!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ADeadlySpoon:
oooooo this looks like a great app, thanks for it. :)

Does the signal also show 3G signal or just GSM?

Oh and I'd love to see this on the new iPhone ;)

Thanks,

Log File

Hi. Where is the log file being saved?

Edit:

Oh, found it. sorry not reading the whole post. hope the details (LAC, CellID) could be seen also on the app while it is running.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] reddevilx:
thanks, it's great!

if the user could change the time interval and the output location it would be awesome
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] maraca:
amazing app!!!!, long time was looking for something like that, I work in network engineering and needed something like this to make a test drive. is there any way to log in neighboring cells appear with ARFCN / CELLID and signal level?

thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stephj:
Looks like it's time to reply to the above posts, as the interest in this thing has taken me by surprise, somewhat.

It was originally written just as a proof of concept program, which explains why it is so damned crude. It went through three stages.

1. Find out how the Microsoft Intermediate GPS device driver (gpsapi.h / .LIB/ .DLL) works and print the location results to the screen.

2. Get the signal strength from the registry key HKLM\System\State\Phone\Signal Strength

This value is the percentage signal strength 0 to 100, but it is not continuous, it only ever has a series of discreet values within this range. 0,10,30,60,90,100 etc. In reply to Luke's post above (#4) it is this value that it prints out, I assume it is the GSM value. I may have a look at trying to to use RIL_GetSignalQuality() instead.

3. Open a session to the RIL (Radio Interface Layer) and use the values returned by RIL_GetCellTowerInfo();

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa923065.aspx

This returns a pointer to a populated RILCELLTOWERINFO structure

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa921533.aspx

In theory this should have a load of useful information in it, but unfortunately there's a catch.

It all depends on:-

1. Which parts of all this your phone manufacturer has decided to implement in the Radio part of the phone's ROM, and

2. What your telco is prepared to reveal to the device.

The value dwParams in the RILCELLTOWERINFO structure contains which of the following fields in the structure contain valid data. Here in the UK on a Kaiser running the latest stock Vodafone ROM, connected to Vodafone's network, this value is hex 0F, binary 1111, which corresponds to the first four fields that follow dwParams. i.e.

DWORD dwMobileCountryCode;

DWORD dwMobileNetworkCode;

DWORD dwLocationAreaCode;

DWORD dwCellID;

All other fields in this structure are empty, hence that is all the program dumps out to the log file. Maraca, unfortunately this also includes the ARCFN and surrounding cells.

In future I'll add a dialog box to allow selection of the output file, and some form of selection of the time interval, as per reddevilx's suggestion. I will also add a Startlog/Stoplog menu option with the file opened in 'Append Data' mode.

I'll also put the LAC/CellID details on the main screen too, as per 4trackmind's suggestion
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stephj:
Version 1.1 now released.

This is a shameless bump.

Version 1.1 is far better than the original.

It is in post #2 above. I hope you enjoy it, stephj.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] reddevilx:
thanks a lot, it works perfect on a p3300 with wm6.5 :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jonto:
The program works as advertised, except: won't save log file to memory card and it won't save with a file name other than "siglog" to Main Memory.

Otherwise, works great!
