As far as i know IT is a market Problem. Some have it, other Not. Two friends have the same problem, one with a g1 and the other with a legend. Google says it could take time till tomorrow.

Cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Neo Cortex:
In a post in this thread http://android.modaco.com/content/t-mobile-pulse-pulse-modaco-com/315840/android-market-resolved/ someone claims that this is the fix:

Before I try this I wanted to ask: Is everyone having problems in the UK and do you all have @googlemail email addresses?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] JFenlon:
I was having the market problem from Thursday to Sunday last week, changing my Google account to @gmail.com and doing a factory reset (I didn't read anything about the 2 hour wait, so skipped that step) fixed it for me. The other potential fixes I read about like opening GTalk, turning Airplane mode on and off did nothing for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] k0zmic:
I had the same problem. I tried wiping cache from recovery and applications menu. In the end I juts re-flashed after a Titanium backup which solved the issue. I was running VillainROM 12
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Neo Cortex:
I have changed my email from @googlemail to @gmail, done a factory reset and the market seems to be working. A PITA: thanks Google
[Hero, G2 Touch General] clobber:
Yeah - I've got a U.K. googlemail address. I was a little hesitant to switch from googlemail to gmail because I thought people had a lot of problems with that. Do your paid apps get transferred?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Neo Cortex:
Mine seem to have been transferred fine.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] AroArecki:
I had the same problem. Changing my email from myname@googlemail.com to myname@gmail.com in google account settings fixed it.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] martint235:
By factory reset, do you mean a full wipe? So I'd have to install all my apps again?

Sorry for being a bit thick but if I'm going to do a wipe, may as well change the ROM again
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Neo Cortex:
Yup. Full wipe
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] figgeo:
I have a problem that i wrote about in googles forum and got an answer that not worked for me, so i try here...

After i updated to Android 2,2 my Gmail and my twitter has stop syncing as it should.

My Gmail syncs for a while but then stops, and when i go to the gmail app and press refresh then the new mail comes up. For getting it works for a couple of days i have to go to settings, applications, manage applications and gmail, and there i have to clear data and cache. Then it works for a couple of days then stops again.

The answer i got is:

You can try the following for the gmail issue:

"So, to get my "connection" back:

1) Go into the settings menu for the phone

2) Choose applications

3) Choose Manage Applications

4) Under Manage Applications set the Filter to ALL. Not sure why this isn't the default but c'est la vie.

5) Scroll down and choose GMail Storage

6) Tap the botton for Clear Data

7) Head on over into GMail and VOILA!"

The problem for me is that i not have a GMail Storage..

Anyone else got the same problem?

Any solutions?

Does the bootloader or anything tell u, or specific app for checking
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zhypr:
I think it will be on the box, my box says AMOLED.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
yeah they have diffrent hboots, 0.75/0.80/0.92 are amoled

and 0.83 is slcd (maybe there are more slcd hboots too)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hanhav:
This video shows the difference.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUF4dLVdFKc
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
I watched a few of the comparison videos (following that link) and it certainly appears to me that SCLD has the better picture.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serialkillazzs:
Mine was 3uk generic before shortages,0.82 or 0.80 bootloader.i take its amoled.want too flash a rooted htc ota 2.2 custom rom

Quick question can the custom rooms move all app 100% to partitioned sd ext 3, or is it still doing same crappy froyo part app move too sd,ie 60%
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitch1974:
My box says 3.7-inch touch-sensitive screen, but my hboot is 0.75 and after watching the youtube vid it definitely looks like I have SLCD.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
That's quite a difference between the 2 on the blacks...looks rubbish on the SLCD
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryant_16:
Mine also the slcd screen.. harder to root?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paprkut:
I have 083 and my.blacks are.more like a led screen rather than the slcd
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htc fan89:
Actually end-user wouldn't know the difference unless they have both together. My has slcd.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sajmonSK:
The blacks are rubbish mainly because you are watching a video of the screen in total darkness while it has the backlight on full power .. you can see how the brightness level drasticaly drops when the system boots ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fermat:
AMOLED looks pixelated. That's how you can easily see the difference.

To be honest, I think current AMOLED displays are crap, because of the pentile sub-pixel layout, which makes everything look fuzzy.

The contrasts and colors are nice and all, but I spend most of the time reading text and that's no fun with AMOLED.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahac85:
yes u can get slcd in 0.75 aswell, my box says the same however hboot is 80 and its definantly amoled
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heygrl:
SLCD looks like garbage. No way around it, it's less of everything. Anyone that says either looks noticeably sharper in that video talking out of their ass
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blunted09:
sorry dude, Im coming from a nexus one to an slcd desire and i cant tell the difference. In fact, the only thing different is im able to see my phone's screen no problem in direct sunlight. Slcd = win as far as im concerned.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
I would have to agree here.

I have noticed that a lot of people with AMOLED screens complain about SLCD. but have not seen anyone with an SLCD screen complaining.

Anyway not sure if this is posted here, but I found this:

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] souljah2k:
is it possible to give the search hardware key another function?

for example an app?

or i would love to have the on/off screen rotation function on it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NguyenHuu:
there is an app in the market that allows this but it is limited. it can only program one app to it, but you can make it any app you want. I have it programmed to the screenshot app, so i can take screenshots anytime i want without having to go back to homescreen.

the app is called "Button Shortcut". Depending on the app you want, there may be specific search shortcut apps in the market. I have one called "Call Button" and this programs the search key to also bring up the dialer to make calls since our nexus does not have a physical button for dial.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] souljah2k:
yeah that app is cool, but it only replaces the long press function of the search key.

is it also possible to replace the normal click?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rac2030:
Nope because the normal search screen can be handled by the active app.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l_Estat:
I think in Cyanogenmod 7 you finally can do that.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dan079:
in cm7, Settings > CyanogenMod Settings > Input.

You can set long press to custom application for the home and menu key

In addition, for the "search key" you can set custom app for both short & long key press.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D@rKnight:
For long press on Search button you can also use " LaunchKey " ... you can set any App you want or ... create a Menu of your favorite apps to lunch .
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liam1437:
i've tried this and it works. and if my memory is correct you can change long press and quick press to 2 different functions
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattanonymous:
Do yourself a favor and get Tasker. Binding the search button to pretty much anything you'd want is just one of about a billion things you can do with it. If you don't want to spend the money, you can try an app called AutomateIt. I haven't used that one as much as Tasker, but it has similar functionality.

Some of my Tasker tasks are:

Automatically turn on WiFi when I'm in my apartment

Turn off bluetooth when I disconnect my headset

Automatically turn on the GPS when I open Google Maps

Automatically start Pandora when I plug headphones in

You basically give it a trigger (app launching, button pressed, incoming call, etc) and a set of actions to perform when that trigger is hit.

It took a while but i finally managed to get 2.1 working on my US Dell Streak.

I'll post instructions soon. I gotta get some sleep.

well done looking forward to the HOW TO and welcome to the streak family :)

Here.

[Streak 5 Android Development] cue_32:
Good morning sir... time to wake up.. you got some instructions to post... :)

Glad to see it running on an unlocked Streak, looking forward to the instructions
[Streak 5 Android Development] pvlagsma:
see also streaksmart.com
[Streak 5 Android Development] Greenarcher707:
Thank you sir, glad to be here. Please take a look at MSigler's post because that's exactly how i did it. But here is a step by step guide with links.

1. Install Koush's Custom Recovery http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=754563

2. Flash Modaco Custom ROM

http://android.modaco.com/content/dell-streak-streak-modaco-com/312386/30-jun-r1-4399-modaco-custom-rom-for-the-dell-streak-with-online-kitchen/

3. Download 2.1 Update

http://www.mediafire.com/?bb9cvm5uaap2z8k

Save it to the root of your memory card and rename it to Update.pkg

4. Flash Stock Recovery

http://android.modaco.com/content/dell-streak-streak-modaco-com/314313/how-to-get-your-streak-back-to-factory-condition/

Just follow steps 1,3,4,5,6,7 (download the stock recovery, ignore the stock ROM)

5. Optional Root

http://www.mediafire.com/?o583zkt5hvhu5ma

Save anywhere on your memory card, use a file manager to install it. Run, then you have instant root with unroot option.

When it reboots you should have 2.1 with no market issues.
[Streak 5 Android Development] foxfire235:
this seems like too many steps. I had success just by using stock everything (recovery and rom) and then flashing 2.1 using the stock method. Root works too!
[Streak 5 Android Development] zwuncki:
With a non o2 UK device?

This is for people who need o2 ROM first. And you can only get it f.e. with an unlocked Dell that way. ;)
[Streak 5 Android Development] Greenarcher707:
Regular method didn't work with mine since i had a 00 unit. Had to find someway to update to a newer build.
[Streak 5 Android Development] zwuncki:
Me, too. Have a 31 UK unlocked device.

But with the above method I got stuck at the dell logo. So I posted my method at the Modaco forum (after step 3, flash original 21 Dell o2 ROM, then 2.1 ROM)...
[Streak 5 Android Development] cue_32:
Greenarcher... THAT ROCKS. Excellent directions...not a single problem encountered.

Thank G O D!!

Any chance you'd have a suggestion on how I can remove the O2 boot screen?

2.1 is great... cant wait for 2.2 on the Streak.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Bizzach:
I just wanted to give a public THANK YOU!

I have a 00 beta US Streak and the Modaco and StreakSmart methods I'd tried to get 2.1 resulted in a "e: no signature / verification failed" error. I followed your method here exactly, and now I have 2.1 working on my US beta (not ATT) Streak!!

Thanks so much man! :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] shadowfactor:
Hello,

I'm new to the fourms.

I have the Euro Unlocked Dell streak Model number ending in 00. ( Im in the US using the device on AT&T)

I'm trying to do this update.

Ive installed the Custom recovery software or so I think I did.

Followed the instructions, it says Fastboot Download done on the streak after I run the program to flash to a custom recovery software. ( just sticks on this screen) so I removed the battery.

and then copied the files for the custom rom to the SD and renamed the zip file Update.zip ( exactly as shown)

Boot the phone into recovery and choose the 2nd option ( the Update option) hit the camera button then I just get a blank screen....

I listed exactly what I have done. Is there anything that I'm missing or not doing exactly right ??

Thanks!
[Streak 5 Android Development] Passe28:
I've done it a little different on my German 00 device. I installed the stock recovery and simply applyed the update normaly.

Stock recovery: See Thread "How to get your Streak back to factory condition" (Option 1)

instead of using the stock Official Dell ROM I took the 2.1 ROM

First I had a few Problems with the Icons on the Home-Screen, wiped the device again, works nice
[Streak 5 Android Development] wonsanim:
Ok Guys wish of the ways is the best and faster:rolleyes:
[Streak 5 Android Development] Greenarcher707:
@cue_32 - No problem, happy to help out. I'm still looking for that elusive stock boot logo as well.

@Bizzach - I'm glad everything worked out for you.

@shadowfactor - Try using the old custom recovery, the newest build causes that black screen error for some odd reason. Hope that helps, if not let me know.
[Streak 5 Android Development] shadowfactor:
brilliant! The older custom recovery software worked!

Question tho. How do I get rid of the 02 splash screen ?

Running 2.1. will post if I have any issues

Thanks alot!
[Streak 5 Android Development] Greenarcher707:
Download one of these: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=696193

Rename the file to bootanimation.zip place in system/media (you will need to use root explorer and make sure the permissions are set to read and write. Works and looks great.
[Streak 5 Android Development] shadowfactor:
In 2.1 I tried to open Market.

but when signing into my google account I get the following error.

US Streak Build 6601

Has anyone tried this with an official US Streak Build 6601? the baseband also has 31 as the last 2 digits ....its not a tester unit. .. would like to try this since it still has 1.6 on it...thanks

Has worked for me .

Am using 2.1 now :D
[Streak 5 Android Development] Greenarcher707:
Try a system wipe. It might be just a cache issue. I hope it works.
[Streak 5 Android Development] shadowfactor:
How do I wipe the systen... I looked around in the menu area but couldnt find anything. Or Do I do a system wipe when installing the 2.1 update package..

I feel stupid for asking this, I'm just so new to the andriod system.

FIXED. I connected over the Cell network instead of wifi and it worked!.

Thanks for all your help!
[Streak 5 Android Development] cue_32:
Here's the bootanimation.zip for Dell stock unlocked.

I haven't rooted mine yet, was worried about bricking it after having it work perfectly on 2.1 stock. But if you figure it out on how to change the bootanimation let me know bro.

Otherwise... I kinda like the boot screen for O2. :D
[Streak 5 Android Development] Greenarcher707:
@cue_32 - Check out post #18, i posted the instructions on how to change the bootanimation. Use root explorer and copy your bootanimation.zip to /system/media then reboot.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Greenarcher707:
It's ok dude, the only stupid question is the one you never ask. I'm glad it worked out. Anyway if you want to do a wipe go to settings, privacy and select factory reset. If you have custom recovery there's also a wipe option in there, but it allows you to pick which particular part of the system you want to wipe.. in this case, the cache.
[Streak 5 Android Development] shadowfactor:
I was looking if I could find a ROM for the Euro Dell streak build 4399 ( the Unlocked UK model) Model number ending in 00.

I have to return my phone, the camera has a hardware issue and I need some way to go back to the stock ROM....

Thanks for all the help!

But I'm loving 2.1 can't wait to flash back to 2.1 once I get my replacement streak!..
[Streak 5 Android Development] shadowfactor:
What exactly is root explorer ? and I tried following the directions listed on the site you posted to change the boot animation.

opened CMd , changed directory to the android tools folder...

Typed adb remount and it says adb server out of date. Killing.

Error: closed

[Streak 5 Android Development] Greenarcher707:
It's a file explorer app you can download from the market. Make sure your streak is rooted before you install this.

Where can I get an official US Streak Build 6601 rom? I have a unlocked US one and am on 2.1 now. The only problem is it thinks i am in the UK. Nothing major just annoying. Any help?

It thinks you're in the UK? how so? kindly elaborate.
[Streak 5 Android Development] MrMediaGuy:
Can't see certain apps in Market?

Successfully followed the process to get 2.1 running on my Streak (US, -31 baseband) and everything working great except . . .

There are certain apps (including some I've paid for) that I can no longer see in the Market:

-- Sling Player Mobile

-- Astro File Manager "Pro" unlock key

-- probably others I haven't noticed yet

Anyone else having this problem? I assumed it was because the phone "thinks" I'm in the UK, but at a loss where to change this. I did make a couple edits in build.prop that I thought might help:

-- ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/voles/sholes/sholes:2.1-update1/ESE81/29593:user/release-keys (suggested here and on MoDaCo because the fingerprint in the 2.1 build.prop doesn't seem to work well on Market yet)

-- ro.product.locale.region=GB (changed to 'US' on a guess, thinking this might help)

. . . but no joy so far. Would really love to be able to see Sling Player Mobile again since I paid $29.99 for it. :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] Greenarcher707:
Install this, select T-Mobile and see if you get them back. Let me know.

[Streak 5 Android Development] Greenarcher707:
@MrMediaGuy

When you open market enabler, tap custom then you'll just have to get those numbers to reflect the US Android Market. Hope that helps.
[Streak 5 Android Development] MrMediaGuy:
Well, I was about to try the Market Enabler as suggested, and I tried the Market one more time, and (poof!) everything was there. I'm assuming it was the two changes I made in the build.prop file -- I did read on another forum that sometimes the Market mysteriously takes a day or two to sync up, presumably because there is a cache I didn't flush.

Other possibility is that Google did something on their end, but that seems unlikely. If anyone is running the 2.1 O2 builld on a US Streak (-31 or -00 with US baseband) and you have *not* edited your build.prop file, I'd be grateful if you could check the Market to see if you can see Sling Player Mobile -- that would tell us if editing build.prop is the fix. Thanks!
[Streak 5 Android Development] Greenarcher707:
I'll check mine out. If i have the same error will you be able to help me fix my build.prop? thanks.
[Streak 5 Android Development] martywix:
I did NOT edit my build.prop file and do NOT find sling player in the market. US unlocked Dell streak on 2.1. How would i edit the file?

[Streak 5 Android Development] quikt:
greenarcher please advised if the streak needs to be rooted before following step one?
[Streak 5 Android Development] mkhan01:
I think the .prop file is not persistent... it does not retain values across reboot...

Also amazon mp3 shows all values in Gbp ... and orders are made against amazon.co.uk

I have set locale to en_US to no avail...

[Streak 5 Android Development] Greenarcher707:
Try using a terminal and wipe the dalvik cache or use adb shell.
