Didn't they ? you know how rumors goes. Some say 2.1 get 720p, some say 2.1 get laser beams, some say 2.1 will get a remote control that control your car, and with 2.1 on x10, you can transform into a super hero by putting it in your belt and cry out "Transform" and obtain super human power to battle evils.
[XPERIA X10 General] Nankov:
My man no need to be rude and post such a useless post. Its just a disscusion that was going on at the 2.1 early update thread that i wanted to move here.

The official word from Sony Ericsson marketing is that the display supports 65,536 colours whereas the SE developers say 16M. Both are correct, in a sense. Marketing is correct in that the device supports 65K and the developers are correct in that the panel supports 16M. The device isn't just the hardware, the software on it is a component and with 1.6 on it it only supports 65K.

This should mean that a decision to ship 2.1 without 16M (if they do so) might not be just technical. Worst case scenario means that you'll have to flash custom ROMs to get full colour depth.
[XPERIA X10 General] farhan032:
Going by the data currently available on the SE Webiste I would say the screen in NOT capable of 16M colors....becoz the X10 specs on the site clearly say 65K colors ...where as the specs of the X10 Mini (which has the same Android 1.6 color limitation) says 16M colors...

But then i remember seeing a Tweet by SE folks that the screen is 16M capable....Well SE PR has a reputation on being wrong !!!
[XPERIA X10 General] applebook:
Most laptops and cheap TN desktop displays claim to support millions of colors, but they do not. Thy are 2XX,XXX or 65,000 and dithered.

6bit + 2bit dithering.
[XPERIA X10 General] berbecverde:
Well if the X10 mini does support 16 mil colours and the X10 does not than the SE team is full with stupid people.:confused:

Quick question:

Do you believe in all advertising and that all advertising is completely honest all the time?

Seriously though, just because a spec on a site says something it doesn't necessarily mean that it's true. Websites are created by people and people make mistakes.

I was able to connect and sync calendar of my corporate email account by using the Nitro Desk Exchange app but not with the default e-mail app in Froyo ? Is this a know issues or am I doing something wrong while configuring the corporate account on the in-built email app ?
[General Questions and Answers] sbeleidy:
Hey everyone,

I was just wondering if its possible to add locales as an app without rooting the phone.

If so, is there anyone capable of doing that with arabic?

If not, does anyone have an idea if there will be an update that adds arabic so that i can read and write it?

Before froyo arabic was just the squares that pop up when it doesnt know the language.

With froyo, arabic can be seen but its letter for letter, in real script in arabic the letters are connected so its kind of awkward reading something like that letter for letter.

So please anyone with an idea, let me know what can be done or what will be done if you know of anything
[General Questions and Answers] massia:
yaa you can download this app from the market Morelocale 2 you can choose whatever locale you want buttttt that doesnt mean your device will support arabic you will have to root the couse if you add the locale the arabic letters will show like SQUARE LETTERS

you need arabic fonts and that doesnt happend without root unless if your device support arabic already

lemme know what happens

[Vibrant General] Arr MiHardies:
Can anyone recommend a sync app for syncing iTunes and iPhoto? Must work on a mac, and preferably over wi-fi. I've been looking at The Missing Sync, but its a bit pricey.
[Vibrant General] JeremyNT:
I've been using DoubleTwist, which does (at least to some extent) work with an existing iTunes library. It feels like (and is) a bit of a hack, but it does get the job done.
[Vibrant General] Arr MiHardies:
I tried double twist a while ago, and disliked it almost immediately. The interface on the mac side was unintuitive and clunky. It saw my library, but none of my play lists, and was generally a pain from the get go.

Why can't our phones just lie to itunes and tell it it is an ipod, and let it sync like one? Perhaps even a player that would let us adjust ratings, tracked party counts and such.
[Vibrant General] masterotaku:
They can't lie because Steve Jobs has a vested self interest in making sure that doesn't happen. Buying into iTunes is buying into an ecosystem built around Apple's products. This behavior is on purpose.

Having said that it's not too terribly hard to convert playlists and manually sync music collections. And at least iTunes is easier to cope with than Microsloth's Zune Sync.
[Vibrant General] Arr MiHardies:
I've been doing it manually ever since I got my g1. Tired off it. Wasn't to automate it now. That missing sync app seems like almost exactly what I want, but its a bit expensive for what it does. And it doesn't have great reviews on the market.
[Vibrant General] blkbltwrestler:
isyncr does almost what your talking about atleast for itunes. there is a free version and a paid version. I cannot attest to the quality of the app only its existence. I like double twist, I am tempted to try to run parrels on my mac just so i can get samsung kies so I can stock music app with playlists
[Vibrant General] JeremyNT:
DoubleTwist does have a playlist sync option, which (for some reason) isn't enabled by default. Even once you turn it on, it seems as if you have to restart the app to get playlist updates to show up. I don't know how long this feature has been there.

I'm not going to say DT is a perfect solution, as it's clearly got plenty of issues. To date though it's the best one I've found for anybody already invested in the iTunes ecosystem.
[Vibrant General] jkang29:
I use tunesync lite on iMac. It works with itunes flawlessly and syncs over wifi. Hope there is something like that for syncing photo but couldn't find one yet.
[Vibrant General] NoDataFound:
Pricey, but this is like synctoy. http://www.econtechnologies.com/pages/cs/chrono_overview.html and it what i use and it pretty much rules.
[Vibrant General] sareen:
this could be helpful http://www.knowyourcell.com/samsung...to_sync_the_samsung_galaxy_s_with_itunes.html

but i dont have the sgs yet so i cant check if it works
[Vibrant General] nbs11:
doubletwist works perfectly for me...It syncs all my playlists to the doubetwist app but not to the stock one. I still need to rip my DRM from my pre iTunes plus music tho.
[Vibrant General] Arr MiHardies:
I only have a handful of pre itunes plus music, but would live today them. What can you use to rip the drm?
[Vibrant General] TimmyZBeach:
I use TuneSync. It works great, and it does it all over the wireless network, no cables required. Try the Lite version first. The only limitation is that you can't sync more than 20 songs per playlist. Heck you might not even care about the limit...

You install the app from the Market and a "server" app on the Mac. Works perfect.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] my2sense:
I don't know if there is any benefit to doing nightly reboots but I figure it couldn't hurt so I'm trying to find a script that can restart our Vogue automatically every night at x:xx.

I tried using phoneprioritizer and other widgets but reboot/restart commands don't seem to do anything. Is there anyway to reboot our phone at all besides powering off/on?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mensa07:
you might want to try CM6, since it has reboot option.
[Streak 5 Android Development] hdbueller:
Hi all.

I am currently on the phone with AT&T as my USA beta Streak has quit working!! I am being told that the US Streaks were designed to quit after the evaluation period was over!! I now can not make any calls with it at all except to AT&T!!

Any one else had their Streak IMEI blocked by AT&T??

UPDATE: Over at Modaco they are starting to drop like flies......several posts about it now! It is happening as we speak!!

UPDATE 2: Quote from Dell:

All 1100+ US beta Streak IMEI's are now invalid! They could not (or would not) say if the IMEI's will be good again after the release!

UPDATE 3: Dell states that it was AT&T that did this to us and that the affected units will work again AFTER the official USA release! They could not say when that would be tho..... :(
[Streak 5 Android Development] The Jack of Clubs:
that sucks. im glad i didnt do anything rash like buy a streak on ebay or something.
[Streak 5 Android Development] joshgantt:
Yeah, mine went down around 10 am. Sucks, I've only had it two days, I guess I'm stuck using my old unlocked G1 again temporarily...
[Streak 5 Android Development] spartan73:
just a heads up guys... found this on engadget!

AT&T blocking Dell Streak beta units?

looks like your out of luck till AT&T sort themselves out.
[Streak 5 Android Development] joeclark:
mine went down an hour ago, im glad i got mine through the beta and did not pay for it
[Streak 5 Android Development] foxfire235:
mine is down now too. I was using an Ipad sim card. Will try later with my other ATT sim to see if it works. Let's hope the streak releases soon!
[Streak 5 Android Development] Chalup:
Another reason to hate at&t. I was 100% going to get the dell streak once it came out in the U.S. for tmobile. Fortunately, I had a change of heart when the Galaxy S (Vibrant) was released. Not only has dell announced it will be available only for at&t, but also at&t has delayed its release for ages. Poor dell, should have gone with a different carrier.
[Streak 5 Android Development] cue_32:
so if it's only being blocked on AT&T then if we use it here in Canada it should be good then right? Or is it the actual device that is being remotely nuked?
[Streak 5 Android Development] youngproguru:
I'm curious. Couldn't those who are blocked use another SIM card?
[Streak 5 Android Development] youngproguru:
I found my answer. International_Mobile_Equipment_Identity is phone specific, not SIM specific.

[Streak 5 Android Development] mrsato:
Pardon my language, but its **** like that, that made me say **** AT&T and move to Sprint.

They're just digging their hole deeper and deeper. It amazes me that Apple renewed their contract for the iPhone. That makes Apple a bigger idiot... besides being too slow to the market with the iPhone4. But I digress.
[Streak 5 Android Development] PulldOvr:
According to rumors, Apple did not renew with AT&T and we may see a new iPhone come holiday season with the possibility of it being from Tmo. There are HUUUGE articles all over the place right now that there is a possiblity that AT&T is movin to WinPho7/Android in place of iOS devices ... even if you look at their line up and the fact they are to be the first WinPho7 carrier in the US you can tell something is changing at AT&T. This could be for the better .. or the worst but they need to get the ball rolling faster if they want to survive as the #2 carrier with out Apple pulling them through...
[Streak 5 Android Development] foxfire235:
ok now that's it's been officially announced... who's putting their sim back in?
[Streak 5 Android Development] fards:
I think a few have tried it, and there's mixed results..
[Streak 5 Android Development] Muo:
I put mine in, and within 2 minutes I got the text. Been using it about an hour now though with full service.

Still works after the night, been about 15 hours now.
[Streak 5 Android Development] x-kid:
i put mine in 2 and half hours ago. Still working and no text
[Streak 5 Android Development] sgeorge:
Just tried my sim. Got the message in less than a minute.
[Streak 5 Android Development] fards:
but is the service still working despite the text?
[Streak 5 Android Development] mlee1999:
After half the day, so far so good (knocking on wood).
[Streak 5 Android Development] sgeorge:
Well, I couldn't take a chance. I'm on a corporate account at work, and had to go through major hoopes to get the account reinstated. It required ATT contacting people at my company to verify before reinstating. A big pain. If it happened a second time, I'm sure I would get a lot of **** for it. So I have to be 100% sure before using this thing that it wont happen.

[Streak 5 Android Development] Slash8915:
Damn... Good thing I have t-mobile. I'd rather not have 3G than not have a working phone...
[Streak 5 Android Development] kertong:
i spoke with a very helpful rep yesterday once my streak was locked out (wonder what took this long?)

anyway, she confirmed that your account is only suspended if you dont change back to an approved device within 24 hours of the warning tt.

with the release being tomorrow, wonder if we are clear to start using our beta streaks again? and until then, wonder if a nightly imei shuffle will be enough to prevent suspension?
[Streak 5 Android Development] wonsanim:
Is some of the Beta Streak working now or still down:confused:
[Streak 5 Android Development] x-kid:
mine has been working for 2 days now
[Streak 5 Android Development] kevinwatson5:
turned back on

They shut my streak down and I caled anx they told me I had to change my sim card. Told them it was mine and not the beta sim that came with it and they turned it back on. crossi g my fingers but been good a few days now.
[Streak 5 Android Development] parcsalooc:
For any of those having issues. Mine was finally cut off 2 days ago and all I did was take it to AT&T and they switched the IMEI number in there system and that is all it took. Everything works great and have had no messages or issues since.
[Streak 5 Android Development] joeclark:
what did they switch the IMEI number to in the system?++

Also where are you loacated? Are you in the Austin area? which ATT did you go to?
[Streak 5 Android Development] parcsalooc:
No I am not. I am in Richmond Virginia. I went to my local store and told them that ATT blocked my IMEI and he said that is ridiculous. "Give me the phone" he said. I hand him the phone he looks at my sim and the device imei types a couple of things in his computer and after about 30 seconds he hands it back. Everthing is great. He said you won't have any problems anymore. If you do, bring it back and I'll take care of it. I think the WOW factor of actually having a unit before the stores had ever touched one, helped get me in and out pretty fast. I encourage everyone to try this route before selling your BETA units on Ebay.
[Streak 5 Android Development] joeclark:
well based on what ATT told my wife they are not going to allow the Betas to be active in the ATT system at all but we will see.
[Streak 5 Android Development] sgeorge:
I'm going on 6 hours so far without the text message of doom. I've restarted my streak multiple times to see if it would trigger the message when it initially gets on the network. So far so good. On the 11th, I tried my sim and instantly got the message btw...

I'll keep you all posted over the weekend..especially Sunday, which seems to be the day that everyone got the initial message.
[Streak 5 Android Development] sincloge:
i have a very general questions what was the exxact wording of the text message??
[Streak 5 Android Development] joeclark:
is it still working?

my wife already paid for a new one now that means i get the beta if i can get it working. but i too have a "company" phone with att, and really dont want to try and jump through the hoops to reinstate my phone if it isnt going to work.

I might just try going to an Att store tomorrow or the next day.
[Streak 5 Android Development] foxfire235:
mine still works, but I'm swapping the SIM every night before bed so it can register on an approved device overnight.
[Streak 5 Android Development] ryder2:
USA dell streak WARNING!!!!

i to have a beta dell streak that ive been going back and forth with att and dell and im getting mixed awnsers two att reps sed after att lunches the streak they will lift the block. And one att rep and one dell rep sed that the beta streaks were only to be used for a 30 day test period after that there only good as wifi divices
[Streak 5 Android Development] mittensGC8:
My suggestion is this. If you have another att smart phone (preferably not an IPhone or blackberry) then call or go to an att store and say you want to switch devices. Then you just never swap your sim over. As long as you have a smart phone data plan on that line, it wont care what device you are using.
[Streak 5 Android Development] trhuseby:
So what I'm thinking here is that if you can get AT&T to register the Dell Streak on your account (entering the IMEI number attached to your SIM) that your Streak will work just fine... But if you just swap your SIM into a Streak your going to get suspended.
[Streak 5 Android Development] parcsalooc:
Yes everything is still running as if it was an ATT registered device. No more messages of doom.
[Streak 5 Android Development] kertong:
The IMEI is tied to the phone, not the SIM.

I've been using the beta streak since release as well, but I am also swapping the SIM into my iphone every one or two days just in case.

Can't wait till we get some sort of confirmation so that we don't have to use our streaks with such burdens over our heads.
[Streak 5 Android Development] ryder2:
Im going to keep im sim in the streak and see how long befor i. Get the text of dom so 6 hour and all is good ill keep u all posted
[Streak 5 Android Development] kevinwatson5:
Still going

ATT if you are reading this please ignore! Mine is still working after another week or so. Maybe since the release they won't be shutting these off anymore.
[Streak 5 Android Development] joeclark:
So, Hows it going so far?

What if anything have you done to keep it going? Do you turn it off everynight or somthing?
[Streak 5 Android Development] foxfire235:
I just got the text again this morning. Haven't been shut off yet, but I swap my SIM out every night to an approved device.
[Streak 5 Android Development] ryder2:
So far im going on 3 days straight no message i dont take my sim out and i dont turn my phone off. Im just going till they shut me down but so far im good i got shut down the secound day i had the phone
[Streak 5 Android Development] DanielNTX:
Got a beta test unit and got suspended last night without any text message warning.
[Streak 5 Android Development] kevinwatson5:
I took the att Rom off and put th O2 one on there. Don't know if that helps. I rooted and upgraded via steelmakers website and that's all I've done differently.
[Streak 5 Android Development] joeclark:
I might try upgrading to the 2.1 and see of that helps, but from what I understand it is the actual IMEI that is the issue nothing "software" related.

I think i might try just walking into an Att store like one of the previous posters did.
[Streak 5 Android Development] kertong:
Ugh, got the sms of doom just now.

This is an imei block, as much as att might try and deny it.

I am using a beta us streak but with my own att sim, flashed to 2.1 baseband and o2 2.1.

Do we have grounds fo any sort of class action suit? My att sim is to an enterprise plan, and i go on 24/7 oncall for work. Ive missed alerts due to the suspensions and his has directly affcted my companys bottom line.

Lame. Anyone know if the radio modules on these streaks are modular? Would love to take a donor att phone with th same 3g/wifi chipset to get a new imei..
[Streak 5 Android Development] jmm72:
I have a beta streak from the congress avenue mile race in austin. I am an at&t customer and switched my sim card to the streak. my account has been suspended twice without warning, and I have since made many calls to Dell as well as AT&T. I have not yet received a straight answer from either on why exactly thebeta phones are notbeing supported. It is supposed to be AT&T's policy to support any gsm device that is compatible with their network, per their Choice plan. I filed a consumer complaint against AT&T yesterday with the FCC. Perhaps if enough of us do this, and there are 1000 of these devices out there, we can either have our devices officially supported or at least be given a reasonable explanation as to why our devices are being blocked.
[Streak 5 Android Development] kertong:
I got the suspension text on saturday, swapped to an approved at&t overnight, then swapped back to my dell streak.

This (Monday) morning, at 10:00am PST sharp, my service was suspended for the 2nd time.

I called customer service, and she put me on hold as she figured out what to do. She came back 2 minutes later saying that the device is unapproved and they cannot support it on their network. I told them that I thought the AT&T CEO had said they don't police the use of unlocked devices, but clearly I am using an unlocked, FCC approved device here, so what is the problem? She told me I'd just have to switch to an approved device, and I told her I was *not* going to do that. She told me it would just continue getting suspended then, and I told her I'd just keep calling back.

I am thinking going to go open up an account with T-Mobile. 2.5G tmobile is better than AT&T 3G at this rate. I cannot believe this. What if I had bought this unit yesterday off craigslist, thinking it was the new, retail version? Is this something the blogosphere/press would be interested in talking about?

, AT&T.
[Streak 5 Android Development] jmm72:
@kertong, I share your frustration. My device has been working without the doom text for a few days, but every time I receive a text message I wince, thinking that it will be from AT&T.

I suggest that anyone experiencing these problems with a Beta Streak file a consumer complaint with the FCC against AT&T.

I understand that these beta devices are not covered under any kind of warranty by Dell, but AT&T, as far I can see, has no grounds on which to deny service of the beta devices. They are FCC compliant GSM devices, and it is AT&T's policy, under their Choice plan, to provide service to any device that is compatible with their network.

If all 1000 beta streak owners file an FCC complaint, perhaps AT&T will listen.
