[Streak 5 Android Development] hmose:
Once AT&T has crippled the US version and added its UI and bloatware you can abandon all hope of help from this side of the Atlantic. The Brit version may someday get an upgrade, the US version will be a much tougher nut to crack.
[Streak 5 Android Development] navrac:
I've had my streak for ages - and its good, but to be honest dell have 'mucked up' terribly on this.

There are apps I want and need to run that I can't because its only 1.6.

Don't get me wrong its a great device, but I completely understand everyones frustrations with the progress and slipping shipping dates.

They need to give a date - a real date they will ship and then they could at least buy some time by arranging an 'accidental' release of 2.1 for modding which will improve the saleability and also the necessary libraries to indirectly get some unofficial/free help from the developers online to get froyo out!
[Streak 5 Android Development] zgmf-x322a:
hi all, im planning to get a streak but do u guys think that it will have a 2.2 stock version? thanks all ^^""
[Streak 5 Android Development] vcespon:
It depends... Dou you have a time machine?

Being optimistic, the official Froyo ROM for the Dell Streak will not be here before October...
[Streak 5 Android Development] Scrufboy:
Hey Guys!

Lemme get in here a little....

The main points to consider are... And, as far as I saw from one guy at CNET is that the "ONLY" thing holding us back is the the fact that Dell wants the devices primary carriage and usage to be landscape... Readily available android sources that could be considered for working with...tend to be designed for their devices primary considered carriage as well. This most often is vertical as we see.

Noteworthy evidence to support this is one video of the UK leak of 2.1 showed something interesting. Just how dell worked to crunch the landscape UI into the space properly in 1.6 versus how the leak displays the home icons in a offset abhorrent mess with no linearity or alignments. As if to say the OS was "making due" until the proper refinements can be made.

The live active background was interesting and it was blazingly fast....

The second part of this is exactly what many of you know.. Dell must do this if they can even hope of being competetive throughout Holiday and then still hold interest to allow a market gain into 2011.

Being a proud owner of a near 5 year old Pristine Axim x51V 128 and running WM6.5.x I was one to suffer the odd fate of purchasing mine just a day before they stopped marketing and selling what is still the worlds best handheld PDA. Which incidentally was made by HTC for the new comers..

Dell had said primarily they were leaving the PDA arena to pursue this device. Not in so many words... but over the course of the development of the mini 5 it was apparent through their statements and actions that they wanted to make this device. I have a hunch by Mid October the latest we will all be fine with the Streak. Or as peeps are now calling it.... the STEAK!

Apps to consider... SLINGPLAYER! Hello - The Number 1 killer APP IMO. I personally will receive my Steak on Tuesday! I can't wait for the updates....

Oh and P.S. - This will be my first personal Android Device!

PEACE
[Desire General] markuz85:
I got my Desire in april and ever since I've never managed to get the battery to last more than a day.

I've tried different ROMs (Defrost, OpenDesire with and without Sense, MoDaCo r4, DJDroid, Neophyte, Pays-rom 2.1) but it's always the same: almost no drain in sleep mode but as soon as I turn the screen on and start using it the battery goes down ~20% every hour. I don't believe that's normal since some people get 3-4 days out of their battery.

For example, today my phone has been on for 2½ hours and lost 43% battery with WiFi on, just surfing the net and using Tapatalk.

The screen brightness is fixed at 30%, auto-sync off, bluetooth off, network mode set to WCDMA only and I have good 3G reception where I live.

I have no clue what to do, maybe someone else does?
[Desire General] vonacid:
I have the same life spend for my battery. I think its quite normal for desire. Unless I'm abnormal too : x
[Desire General] AzureusPT:
You can use setCPU to underclock the processor or to create rules to make it powersaver.

I (as many other people) have one for setting the max/min processor to 245MHz when the screen is off, so it doesnt waste so much battery. I havent tested a lot, since I did it yesterday but the battery is lasting longer.

Also there are different ROMs that have better battery life...
[Desire General] markuz85:
I'm using neophyte 1.3 now since it was said to give you good battery time but I don't think SetCPU works with it...
[Desire General] gRoberts:
I use JuiceDefender. Just by installing the free app from the market, I've increased my battery by 1.5x what it was originally.

With Ultimate Juice installed, I saw an increase of up to 2.5x.

Sods law, I can't purchase anything via the market due to having a Google Apps email account :|
[Desire General] markuz85:
I've tried it but it's not helping since I'm not syncing anything automatically anyway and the battery isn't drained with screen off.

It's when I start using the phone my battery percentage goes bananas.

And btw I know how you feel, I live in Sweden and we don't have paid apps here. Thank god for MarketAccess.
[Desire General] PowerPee:
My Desire was acting like that during my first 2 days of usage. The battery was draining really fast even in standby mode. I installed advanced task killers and after that the battery improved. I do not know if it is because this app or there were some other configurations that I accidentally did...

But the battery life right now is way better than before (even lasts longer than my previous iphone 3gs). Hope this helps =D
[Desire General] Whiterin:
I have pretty decent battery life and I use the stock unrooted unmodified rom. Some apps completely obliterate battery life. I used to keep eBuddy open, but I found that it kills my battery faster then anything else.

[Desire General] aidanbree:
Just downloaded setcpu to take a look. Should I be looking to use the default settings or is there something I should be changing?
[Desire General] daern:
Hmm, when you say "just surfing the net", you're actually using WiFI + AMOLED + CPU, which are 3 of the biggest battery drains on the device.

IME, you can get days out of the phone, but if you actually have the screen turned on all of the time (i.e. you're actually using the phone), then 20% per hour probably isn't that insane. After all, that's 5 hours of continuous use, which isn't too awful from a modern smart phone.

Honestly, I think the answer might be "Yes, it does that" and "you'll probably need to charge it during the day". I've taken to charging mine on the way to work and back again (about 45 mins each way) and I'm still at 90% at bedtime.

Oh, and forget JuiceDefender. Yes, it makes a difference...but only when the screen is turned off. As soon as you start using it (and that's what you're obviously doing here), it shifts out of the way. Once I realised this, I uninstalled it...never looked back.

Daern
[Desire General] daern:
Oh, couple of other notes. Bluetooth doesn't make that much difference unless you're actually using it. 3G uses quite a bit more power compared to 2G. Consider switching to 2G when you're on WiFi. (sadly, no automated way to do this :( )
[Desire General] snudel:
i am not using any of these tools.

i have wifi always on 3g on

no live wallpaper and push mail (k-9) with 2 accounts

my battery lasts 1,5-2 days. with phone turned off during the night. 0am till 7am.

i am surfing a lot and writing a lot emails.
[Desire General] markuz85:
Okay so I guess it's normal, I guess I'll just have to fire up the ol' charger a bit more often then :)

Btw I don't use JuiceDefender anymore either, didn't make any difference other than the widget claiming to have increased your battery time ;)
[Desire General] Norsehawk:
Here comes a hint:

Turn off ALL unnecessary widgets like "Bluetooth", "GPS", "WiFi". Turn off also "Mobile"-internet widget, and turn it on only when u want to update some apps or check your mail.

I have noticet that "Mobile"-internet widget drains hell of a lot battery, but if u turn it off now and then u will have ure phone, like I had, for 6 days - with one charge!
[Desire General] markuz85:
I always have GPS turned off and wifi off when not using it, never used bluetooth and I'm using Data On Demand which turns off mobile data when the screen is off.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tmargot:
Hi,

I think this is a wierd one. I have a Vodafone Touch Pro and it will go into bootloader (strangely by vol down and power button only, so does my other one despite what the internet states), it will even hard reset (which completes) but will not start up on power at all. I push the power button, even hold it down and nothing, not even a vibrate, slight glow from screen, key glow or flashing lights. Phone does not charge, judging by the lack of a glowing ring either.

What I have tried:

Leaving battery out over night

Hard reset

Flashing OEM Vodafone ROM (completed fine)

Tried putting battery back on charge

Tried leaving on charge (battery in and battery out)

Could anyone help me out with this?

I know my old HTC Vox never started up with the slide open, could it be something simple like a stuck switch?

Many thanks,

Tristan

Hi.

Just wanted to let you know, that fron today until tuesday all Resco apps are 40% off at Handango.com.

That made me buy Resco Explorer 2010 for $17 :D

$30 have been too much but 17 are fine for that awesome soft if you ask me.

Maybe someone is interested -

Bye. :)

Are you using a task killer/manager?
[XPERIA X10 General] dexter26:
Yes im using task killer but i was using that before and had no problems what so ever
[XPERIA X10 General] Zenghelis:
Try to disable it on even beter unistall it. Then reboot and try to update again from the market. My market stopped to work properly while i was using a task manager, I unistalled it and every thing is alright now.
[XPERIA X10 General] dexter26:

Edit:ill tried but its not working for me.i uninstal some apps few days ago so i probably uninstal something i shoudnt
[XPERIA X10 General] Zenghelis:

After rooting, there was a market fix on 23 version, hope you applied and make sure Google talk is logged in. it will fix any user identification errors.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] miker71:
I picked this up from cross posts at modaco and xda-vibrant, but it seems there is a vanilla (no Samsung apps no TouchWiz) Android OS for the i9000 ... which would be cool ... if it worked. But I'm not sure anyone actually tried this on a SGS? It's been tried on a Vibrant (from what I can tell) and it half worked - dialler was not working so no phone :-(

Anyone who wants to keep track, OP at AndroidForums:

http://androidforums.com/samsung-captivate/130487-roms-monaco-releases.html

but I see the last post there 24th July, so maybe this is old news? In which case .. sincere apologies!

I think a lot of us are wanting a vanilla build of 2.1 (because 2.2 is wishing for just too much ;-) )
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Arkymedes:
I desperatly need Vanilla to run on SGS.

If wasn't for the hardware, I would never have bought a SGS. I DETEST any custom UI.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MaNIaCv1:
So what advantage would a vanilla OS give me?

I don’t like TWLauncher so I just installed another launcher like ADW, LauncherPro, and I never see TWLauncher again. And I use the SGS apps I like and don’t use the one’s I don’t, what’s the problem?

MaNIaC
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Arkymedes:
Unnecessary bloatware. Even with a Launcher replacement like LauncherPro or ADW, the CrapWiz is still there, all over the OS. Also, it makes upgrades take longer due to development team needing to adjust to their UI of choice.

I sincerelly hope that with Gingerbread and the new Vanilla UI, this crap will be over.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] miker71:
For me it's a matter of compatibility. A small example is Samsung Calendar keeps a local calendar as default. I don't want this since I am fully on google cloud services.

I want the Android OS that asks you for your google account on first boot.

Also, Samsung music player (as good as it may be) is not compatible with many other apps (eg Last.FM scrobbling)

I just get the impression that Samsung have incorporated their own framework to railroad you into the "Samsung" way. Which may be fine for some. I want the "Google" way (having been spoilt with my previous N1/Froyo).

Also, I wonder if vanilla Android OS, the GPS might actually be useful ...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Arkymedes:
Exactly. You buy an Android phone for the Google experience. I just wished it was like Nexus One is.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] miker71:
Having re-read the original thread, I'm led to believe that the vanilla ROM still includes TouchWiz - from the context, I think this is a ROM from MoDaCo's kitchen perhaps, based on a stock Samsung ROM :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MaNIaCv1:
So are you saying that compatibility issues disappear if we had a vanilla OS?

Would there be a different GPS driver and API if we had a vanilla OS?

[Droid X Themes and Apps] dr154:
You dont need an app to do this, just uncheck the "Use visible pattern" in you security lock settings.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] bojangalz:
That doesn't get rid of the dots on the page though. Only the pattern as you drag your fingers. I want to hid the actual points of contact as well.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] bojangalz:
Another problem that I've found with this is that you've got to go through two slider screens before the pattern lock when using Widget Locker. What would be ideal is to have an invisible lock pattern embedded into a program like widget locker. That would be awesome and worth every penny if you ask me.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SteelH:
Try replacing your existing framework-res.apk with the one I have attached to this post.

Make a backup first as always! (you could simply rename your existing framework-res.apk to framework-res.apk.orig)

Download Zeam, you can have 9 screens with that. Then download easyhome. Then you can easily switch between any home replacement.
[Desire General] Lomax01:
Perhaps you could use the More Icons widget which is available in the marketplace? It allows 4 small icons in place of 1 large standard one.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] willfriede:
I was trying darkstone HD2froyo. After that i wanted to go back to Winmo. But in Winmo Sense did not load anymore. So i made a Hardreset, but the problem didn't go away.

I decided to flash a new ROM. After flashing i first could use my HD2 normally. But after a while it stopped responsing after going to sleep. Also a Hardreset didn't solve the problem, rather it became worse. First it stopped booting on the orange Windows screen. Now it stops on the white HTC screen, where it says "quietly brilliant".

Is there anything more i can try?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hazard99:
honestly I always turn off sense and revert back to titanium before running android. something about haret makes it run wonky. the devs say haret shouldnt effect your rom as it isnt altering anything.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] maseo:
I had this problem once too.

Fixed it by removing Android from the SD card, hardresetting WinMo untill it was fully functional again, then plug in the SD and reinstall Android from scratch.

It could be that some files on the SD interfere with Sense from loading..

Good luck!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] stealth814:
I have the same problem. but, I flashed mine to another WinMo ROM, now the problem disappeared. I am just waiting for a full version Froyo to flash. Not trying another Android until then.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] toolm:
Did you flashed a ROM that has already worked stable on your phone or did you use a new one? Maybe its a problem of the new ROM and not of Android...

Sometimes (at least for my problems with Android) it also helps to 'cleanup' (backup data, format and reload only needed data) your SD card.

Good luck...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MMAwarrior:
I had the same problem 30 min ago, I had Artimis v25 WWE on a 2.10.50.19_02 Radio..

I fixed the problem by,

* Removing SIM and SD Card

* Hard Reset device

* Task 29'ed it

* Flashed new Radio

* Flashed Miri's rom v17

Now I'm good to go again and didnt touch my android i had on my SD Card,

the only reason i still want WinMo, is because of the .avi playback... Android doesnt seem to be friends with .avi or divx extensions
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] willfriede:
Thanks for your responses, but i think my HD2 is dead. I can not boot into Winmo anymore. I removed the SD and the SIM, i made a hard reset (several times) but Winmo is not booting. All it is showing is the orange Winmo screen and the progress bar. :(

I can not execute Task 29 because i can't make a Active Sync connection anymore.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Rocheau:
I do not know what have caused your phone get brick, but afak there are some android rom which have not root access. Those roms writes some info directly in your phone memory instead of the storage card. I am currently running the desire v5 which have root access and all the information from Android program or phone tools remains at the SD but not in the phone, so removing the SD is enough for make disappear all Android traces.

I do think that in your case you are using a ROM which writes some information directly in the phone. Just my try.

When i tried to do same thing again for bad luck the phone disconnected from cable and after this the battery came off during the flashing procedure.

Now the phone can only show the bootloader (red,green,blue) image and nothing else.
