[EVO 4G General] baiatul:
I tried with the app killer, and without it, and I really didn't see much difference in battery life.

The only I noticed is that after the Froyo upgrade a few days ago, the app killer was useless, as the apps would come back right away. So it was useless. This is a stock EVO.

But you are right, now I can get rid of the killer!

(but as I said, I was overusing it as a dictionary, or as many dictionaries, so it was not a normal use.. It was on most of the time. It's easier to carry EVO loaded with dictionaries, than actual books...I was also using dictionaries on line, wordreference.com, etc. so I was (I am) definitely using it a lot, and that justifies the battery loss. I disabled the widgets to compensate for the other apps I was using)
[EVO 4G General] jerryparid:
Task Killers are garbage; don't use them. So let me get this straight, you use your Evo, with the screen on, at least 4 hours a day. That is why you are now using this Energizer battery pack to charge your Evo during the day?
[EVO 4G General] baiatul:
I use EVO much more than 4 hours a day. Much more. I have to unlock the screen and press that little button maybe 40 times a day (it's a hassle), many times an hour, and that takes battery too I'm sure. I had to charge evo at least 3 times while on the road, at Starbucks or any place..... but since Starbucks started offering free WiFi, they covered many power outlets with chairs or cabinets.

I should have bought a little computer instead from the beginning, or a tablet, to load my dictionaries correct?

But now the problem is solved. :)

But again, I have to say that I was doing the same thing with my Blackberry before, and I would never have to recharge the battery until when I got home at night. That's why I expected the same, or at least I didn't even think on batteries when I switched to the HTC EVO. I wasn't thinking on the battery issues, because before I didn't have any.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kstar54:
I have rooted my phone using TGA_Gunnman's one-click method.....everything was great - I am pretty sure my phones everyday performance is better now as a result. Of course, all the awesome things I can do now that I have root, make the phone that much better!

Yesterday, after no mods or changes my SD card became nor recognized by the phone. I get an error that the "Mount Point is absent or incorrect. Please unplug USB and try again." Of course I have tried unplugging, restarting, fixing permissions, unrooting, putting in a different SD card, nothing...NO access to SD. I am able to access the SD card from a computer so pretty sure its not the card.

I have searched and searched and searched the forums...I have not found anyone having a similar problem.

Does anyone have any suggested fix

....or am I destined to return this handset for a dif one?

Thanks for any and all help.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kstar54:
So, due to lack of response, I can only assume the phone is faulty, and I will be heading to t-mobile store today.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dq13:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kstar54:
Thanks for the suggestion....but a factory reset did not fix the problem.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] }{Alienz}{:
I got that EXACT same error yesterday while I was tinkering trying to rename the memory card on the computer and phone. I unmounted it and then it started giving me this error. I DID fix it though I'm not sure WHICH one of the things I did fixed it so I will list everything I did while trying to lol.

1. Remove the card from the phone as it is powered on. Wait a few seconds and re-insert it. See if problem persists.

2. Power down phone, remove memory card. Power back on (without the card). Insert the memory card. See if problem persists.

3. With the phone and card in, attempt to connect to a computer in all 3 modes (Storage, Media Player, etc). See if it still can't mount it after you disconnect from the computer.

4. (I think this may have fixed it but not sure). With the phone on and card in, go into setting-->Applications-->Development-->USB Debugging. CHECK the box "USB debugging". Now connect the phone to your computer. It will warn you its in debugging mode, click ok. Open the notification menu on top when its connected (the one that slides down from top) and MOUNT the memory card + phone memory. Your computer should now recognize 2 new drives. Phone memory and the memory card. After this, disconnect the phone and it SHOULD be able to find the memory card and mount it CORRECTLY, fixing your problem for good.

Let me know if all of these don't work and I'll think if I missed something that I may have done while trying to fix it. It's not your memory card or the phone itself. It's the software which bugged. I wouldn't recommend you return it at all since its not faulty. The new one will do the same.

PS: If NOTHING works and I can't think of the thing that fixed mine, there IS something that WILL fix it guaranteed though I only recommend you do that as a last resort. If you reflash the phone to a different ROM, it will be fixed since the bug is in the software. There is the stock T-Mobile ROM provided on these forums somewhere if you want the same ROM (or as close to it as possible) that came with the phone (aka...as you got it out the box). Otherwise, you can flash into some custom rom (likely having some improvements too). All up to you. Though I only would recommend this if you REALLY have no other option.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kstar54:
Thank you - none of those options helped. I am not able to see the phone memory either. In other words, even when I have it plugged in to the computer and tell it to mount memory to the computer, no drive shows up. So I am unable to access any storage on the phone.

Why would this software issue just show up out of no where? I have had the phone since day 1......

Thank you!!!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] }{Alienz}{:
Hmm...I was able to see the phone memory at least. Are you sure your phone doesn't even detect the phone memory? Cause that is quite odd. I remember my phone did not detect ANY memory card all the while giving me that message but it DID find its phone memory and could use that. Idk. I played with my phone an a USB cable for half an hour panicked that I did something to my phone or memory card till it finally worked. Your issue MAY be different though. In either case, I don't seem to remember anything else I did with it (maybe combination of those things I was listing? idk). Furthermore your issue may be different, even if related so I suppose start looking into the flashing process. You will need to flash if you want to return it anyway is my guess. So might as well.

I suggest you start looking here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=747335

It's all the Roms for the Vibrant up to date. You will need Clockwork recovery and Odin to flash. The list has the official Tmobile ROM that your phone was shipped with. You can try that. It will return it to FULL stock, making it returnable and very likely fixing it. But if you're feeling adventurous you can try the custom ROMs.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kstar54:
Thanks for all your help - I ended up returning it b/c I didn't have the time to deal with it and have now run into a new problem of apps not installing from the market. They actually install for the first five minutes after wiping the phone, but then the installing was unsuccessful. I got two different replacements today and a new sim card, spent half my afternoon on the phone with 611...still no apps.....

Edit: found the fix for inability to download apps

Of course, on my third vibrant and this is the only one with the menu button lag......i will be patient.....

I just had exactly the same problem with my Galaxy S. The problem was, My internal phone memory was unmounted after flashing a new firmware. Once I mounted it, it worked.

This mounted both internal and external cards and I'm now good to go!!

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] huggs:
I think it would be very useful to have available a tool which could dump to the sd card the rom that is currently on the phone, all settings, pim data, etc. and make so all you have to do is flash the rom and when its done, everything is as it was. Kind of like making restore points on your pc. Currently it seems people are using a combination of this to do that, that to do this, and there is a kinda steep learning curve for new users, and experienced users are still taking 1/2 hr to an hr to set everything up after flashing and it seems every chef has thier preferred autoinstall stuff cooked in. I would be willing to donate $50 to author of a working tool such as I have described but it would have to restore everything, just t29, flash the b/u rom and ur in business, and it would have to be noob friendly at least for the most part as this tool would be a preferred method for newer users. I think such a tool would make experimentation with apps and modifications, rom building/testing much safer and faster for people just to flash back to a stable rom all set up if something doesnt go right. I know theres some seriously smart people here at xda, hopefully some of you could look into creating a tool that would benifit many people, and hopefully more people would be willing to donate for such a tool.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] stevedebi:
The problem is that when you backup program items, it also backs up the registry entries, and those entries may vary between ROMS. I use SPB Backup on my system, but ONLY restore to the same ROM version - to avoid this very issue.

The absolute safest way to flash a new ROM is to use activesync to backup your contacts, emails, and schedule (plus mobile shortcuts), and then flash. Then manually install each of your programs onto the phone. This ensures that your phone will be setup to match the OS. Then restore your contacts, etc, by using activesync again.

There are various solutions to get around this (I use XDA_UC myself), but that requires some reading and knowledge.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] huggs:
Right, I understand about reg entries not matching between roms, I'm saying to restore the same rom that was backed up. That way, if you installed a app, wanted to try a new rom, made some change or whatever that made the rom unusable, you could just restore that rom to the last stable configuration that you backed up. You could have the rom on your sd and have a stable rom to flash back to anytime, so you dont have to restore everything anytime you screw up your phone and must HR. Since I have had my TP2, I have had to HR many times, caused by messin with stuff trial and error style, I think it would be a nice safety net, to be able to flash back to something stable, all set up the way it was when the backup was made. Then alls you would have to do is get your rom all set up once, and remember to back it up.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] stevedebi:
Oh, for THAT I recommend SPB Backup. It isn't free, but it does a good job. But it would not contain the flash contents, and all bets are off if you are attempting to overwrite a newer ROM. What I do is re-flash the ROM that matches the backup, and THEN restore the SPB backup file.

This is supposed to be a US Streak (what I was told when I bought it) but I'm not exactly sure how to verify that. On the back under the battery cover it has the following:

Model: M01M

Type: M01M002

If anyone can verify/confirm what model this is I'd appreciate it.

I just found this on wirelesgoodness site. If true, it would appear that I have a T-Mobile compatible version of the Dell Streak which is exactly NOT what I need.

"We first spotted the Dell Mini 5, aka Streak 5, on the FCC back in February when the device appeared as the M01M002. Today, a new version of the device called the M01M002 passed through the FCC.

Both versions of the Mini 5 are quad-band GSM devices. However, the new version of the Mini 5 supports WCDMA band IV, while the previous version supported bands I, II, V and VIII. This is good news for T-Mobile customers, since the carrier relies on WCDMA band IV in the United States for 3G data services."

If anyone can help me figure out exactly what model this is US or UK, AT&T or other I would greatly appreciate it. I don't want to waste anymore time if it isn't an A&T/Rogers Wireless compatible phone.

Thanks.

:confused:
[Streak 5 General] The Jack of Clubs:
what are the umts bands listed on your box? umts 1900 and 850 are for att, rogers, and telstra. 1700 is for tmobile. and 2100 and 900 are europe and asia.
[Streak 5 General] EZ44:
The box I have is not for my Red unit it's for a Carbon one so who knows if it's the same. It does list all the right bands 850/900/1800/1900 & 2100/1900/850 but like I said, not the original box so don't know for sure.
[Streak 5 General] The Jack of Clubs:
i cant seem to find model numbers. there is no tmobile version. only 02, unlocked, and the att beta. do you have an o2 bootsplash when you start up your device? is the back cover matte or shiney?
[Streak 5 General] EZ44:
The back cover the rest of the shell is glossy red and there is no O2 splash screen, only the Dell logo/splash on boot up.

Thanks for trying to help me figure this out.
[Streak 5 General] EZ44:
More evidence that the model I have is indeed destined for T-Mobile and compatible networks. Looks like I will have to try and trade/sell it for an AT&T.

From Engadget:

"Whether it's branded the Mini 5, the Streak, the Streak 5, or something else entirely, we can say with certainty that Dell's going to be hitting the Android market hard in 2010 -- but we didn't realize it'd be hitting this hard. It looks like the company might be taking a tack similar to Google's with the Nexus One, because a second variant of product code M01M just garnered FCC approval -- this time featuring WCDMA Band IV in place of Bands II and V, which means it'll work on T-Mobile's airwaves instead of AT&T's. In lieu of a carrier deal, could Dell be looking to blow this out on as many carriers as it possibly can? We hope so -- as long as our wallets can stomach the unsubsidized hit."
[Streak 5 General] Plazmic Flame:
So are you saying someone sold you the T-Mobile beta device under the impression that it was the AT&T compatible device?? Or did you buy it off eBay or something? I remember seeing a few eBay Dell Streaks and some of the listings were shady, saying that the device has both AT&T 3G and T-Mobile 3G, which is FALSE.
[Streak 5 General] The Jack of Clubs:
the carrier devices have matte finishes on the back. it sounds like you bought the unlocked european version.
