[Streak 5 Accessories] samstables:
Has anyone else got a home dock and is having problems getting it to output video?

I have 4 mpeg-4 files that work on the standard player brilliantly, but if I ask it to output via HDMI, the monitor/ TV stays blank although the video no longer shows on the Streak screen.

As the Streak asks me if I want to Switch to HMDI I presume it knows there is a connection... plus on both my monitor (using an HMDI to DVI cable) and TV (HDMI to HDMI cable) the monitor/ TV doesn't go into standby, which it would if there was no signal being received. If I take the HMDI cable out of the dock, the monitor says no signal being received but plugging it back in doesn't make it show the video that's playing...

I know it can work as in between all the failures, just once I have had the video playing on my monitor through the cable as expected (I did nothing different but can't make it do it again)

Am I missing something obvious to make it work?

All the other functions seem to work fine - though I was surprised that if you plug in speakers (or headphones) sound still comes out of the Streak. Is it meant to?!
[Streak 5 Accessories] lufc:
Mine should be here tomorrow so will let you know then :)
[Streak 5 Accessories] samstables:
I've still had no joy with the dock... Tried all sorts of file types and conversions but nothing works. The Streak registers the HDMI cable is inserted, asks me if I want to output, if I say yes, the vid disappears from the Streak screen but the other end never gets it apparently.

I phoned Dell who, after 20 minutes of really lame questions - had I plugged the cable in... - and being put on hold, told me to take the phone back to O2 and ask for another :( . As my Streak is over 28 days old I'll be Streak-less for at least 10 days. :eek:

And then if the problem is with the dock not the Streak?!!

Any other home dock users out there, got any suggestions?
[Streak 5 Accessories] skrapgiarc:
Sorry if this is too obvious, but have you tried a different hdmi cable? My dock works fine but I' ve had a similar problem with a htpc.
[Streak 5 Accessories] lufc:
My dock is working fine :)
[Streak 5 Accessories] samstables:
I have tried three different HDMI cables, although through the same TV as we only have one with HDMI. I also tried an HDMI to DVI to my monitor which also doesn't work.

Dell think it might be the Streak, O2 think the dock... Neither want responsibility!
[Streak 5 Accessories] vagelis:
Well, this may be something to consider:

Are you sure that the DVI monitor you are connecting is able to decode HDCP signals?

The HDMI output of the Streak may be HDCP encoded, and though the monitor might see the connected input, it may not be able to decode it. Your source files may not be HDCP encoded, but the output channel (your Dell Streak Dock) probably is. Have you tried to output your dock in a different system? An HDMI-equipped TV perhaps?

See here:

http://tv.about.com/od/hdtv/a/hdmidvihdcp.htm

and here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-bandwidth_Digital_Content_Protection

PS.

After reading your post again Iss that you have tried in two different devices, and they both fail... there are region locks in the HDCP interface as well, so you may have incompatible outputs on the digital side.

I would still try more combinations (or even ROM builds) before I rule out the issue as being your Streak and/or your dock.

Do you have anyone with another Streak/Dock/Monitor to rule out all possibilities?

It is sad that we have to go through that mess at times, but there are lots of digital devices, that make the 'Plug and Play' , 'Plug and Pray' Sadly :$
[Streak 5 Accessories] samstables:
Thanks for the comprehensive reply vagelis (which by the way comes out as "bagels" using Swype!)

I don't have access to any other DVI or Hdmi screens - I'm sure my other half is taking it as a sure sign we should buy a new tv!

Dell have, thankfully, agreed to replace my dock so hopefully tomorrow I can feel not quite so stupid when/if it works or not!

Perhaps O2 may have even released the promised 2.1 update & really make my day!

I've been experiencing a weird issue where when an alarm is supposed to go off it beeps once and then silences itself immediately. I tried changing the Maximum alarm duration but it still silences itself after one beep.

I'm on CM6 RC3. This didn't happen on CM6 RC2 or the 8/01 and earlier Nightlies.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaaa2209:
I have the exact same problem as yours.

Mine is Motorola android and the system was updated 3 weeks ago. There were some problems after the update but I reset the phone and fixed everything.

The alarm is always working fine until today.

No matter what I set the alarm, it always has one ring tone (the one I set) and then a notification shown as 'Alarm silenced after 0 minutes'.

Hi everybody,

I must to patch an ARM executable. I use HTC with Windows Mobile 6.5.

Actually I installed IDA Pro. It is dissassembling my arm executable file but it doesnt let me to patch (assemble) it. When I click "Edit>Patch Program>Assemble" , It gives an error. (Sorry, This processor module doesnt support the assembler).

So , is there any dissassembler for ARM executables which let me to patch/edit binary like Ollydbg???

Or is there any way to patch it via IDA Pro??

Thanks...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zzxq:
Patching and assembling are two different things. In my experience, IDA even does not produce good enough 386 assembler source code for reassembling. But often you can patch exe's with a hex editor succesfully if you don't need extra code. You look up the location in IDA and patch it correspondingly in a hex editor.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] iktisatcihacker:
Hi zzxq,

thanks for your reply.. I need to add extra code? So changing opcodes via Hex editor is not enough for me ... What can I do?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zzxq:
Depending on how the .text segment is aligned, you could possibly add some code there or overwrite functions you don't need and branch to them. If you have room in the .data segment you could mark it as executable. Extending the total code size would require more work; you'd certainly need tot adjust the .text segment size in the PE header and the start of the segments following the .text segment. Just some suggestions that may not work; I only have experience with in-place hacks that involve a few bytes.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rfarrah:
Been running SkyRaider 2.5.2 Vanilla for a couple days, now. Test drove some Hydra Kernals and didn't find one that didn't either lock me up or eat my battery alive for some reason. Did the battery-reset thing yesterday, just to make sure THAT part was okay. This morning I was down to 73% within an hour of unplugging (I did my usual procedure of unplugging in the morning, checking email and whatever, then plugging back in while getting ready for work: green light/100% when I walked out the door).

Next up is SR Sense with the modified stock kernal. I'm not looking for anything extraordinary in battery life, but I sure don't want to go BACKWARDS.

Anybody have any thoughts on ROMs / kernals they'd like to share?

[Wildfire General] heythisisnate:
Hi all,

I had a terrible catastrophic failure today with my 1-month old HTC Wildfire. I bought my device new, unlocked, in Singapore.

Here's what happened:

Today I received an ordinary SMS (like I have hundreds of times before in the past few weeks) and when I picked up the phone off of the desk, flipped on the screen, and slid my finger to unlock it, I saw a brief error message in a dialog on top of the Messages app. It was something like "com.something .... ", I didn't get a good look at the error but it didn't really mean anything to me at the time. The SMS that I received was then lost (I knew who it was from, but the message was not showing up). A few minutes later, I heard another SMS notification. No error message this time, but again the message did not show up in my Messages app.

So, I pressed the power button to power cycle the phone. After I shut it down, I turned it back on, saw the white screen with HTC logo, then black. It was dead. No amount of pressing buttons did anything.

After a few minutes, I removed the battery and it turned on again. Again, white splash screen and then darkness. Repeated this several times and same result.

Finally, I googled how to do a hard reset. I followed the instructions, held the volume down button while pressing power, cleared the memory, after it restarted it went right back to the white bootloader screen, flashed some error messages, and now I'm stuck in the bootloader. When I select the RECOVERY option, I get a quick screen with something like:

SD Checking ...

Loading [SOMEFILE.zip] ...

No Image!

Loading [SOMEFILE.zip] ...

No Image!

....

....

No Image or Wrong Image!

Can anybody help??! I don't know what to do now. I've searched for this "No Image or Wrong Image" message on these forums, but all the results are about rooting and loading different ROMs. I've never rooted or anything out of the ordinary, I just want the stock OS back and operational.

Btw ... I'm an Android noob, but an experienced Linux/Mac user and 10-year software developer.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Nate

[Wildfire General] jefmcg:
Call HTC support. I had a problem with my previous HTC phone, and they took me through diagnositcs over the phone, and when they diagnosed a hardware fault, sent a courier to pick it up from me the next day. This was when the phone was 18 months old. No receipt was necessary, they used the serial number/manufacture date.

Downside: the phone was gone a week, and came back still broken. It was sent away again, and came back fixed. So painfully without it for two weeks, but not a bad experience.

(edit: it was a similar problem: I upgraded to windows 6.1, and my phone wouldn't get past the initial hardware/boot screen)
[Wildfire General] heythisisnate:
I tried the hard reset procedure several times. Every time it's the same thing. After it clears the memory, it says "Reboot in 5 seconds..." and then when it reboots, it goes back to the bootloader screens.

I've contacted HTC support via email, and I'm bringing it in to their support center in Singapore tomorrow. I really hope it doesn't take a week ... I'll keep you updated.
[Wildfire General] heythisisnate:
Fixed.

I just got my Wildfire back today after a full week in the repair center. Apparently they replaced the main system board. No other explanation for the problem was given.

The repair process itself was hassle free, although I was frustrated by not having my phone for a week. Ended up having to buy a cheap basic phone for $55 to get by on SMS and voice.

enter *#7284# > UART MODEM - USB PDA

if so, you don't need any of that
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 123unlock:
well...

was more thinking of making an normal sim-unlock solution for this model

i already found an uart connection on the phone PCB but for this you have to open the complete phone and work with the testpoints.. not suitable for normal users :)

on older android models you can enter the uart mode via diag driver over the usb port (for example on i5700, T939, i7500 etc with swallowtail driver) but this one uses a different driver
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
ahh, that makes sense now.

if you are using the KIES driver, uninstall it.

use the Android SDK drivers, then you will have full access to the phone via USB as a Com port

thats what i already tried, but it keeps popping up with the "7 CDCs" device and asking for drivers with i switch the USB to MODEM with *#7284#

If you know the manufacturer (or chipset) of the modem or if modem is integrated to the motherboard, then you can probably get the drivers from the manufacturer vendor site.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tech128:
Just thought I would finish this off, since no one has posted the way to the diag port.

For starters, you need to enable the weird comneon suspend device and the 7 acm cdc usb com ports.

This can be done thru the commands previously mentioned, *#7284# and *#9090#

Leave the top part alone, where it says MODEM. Change USB to MODEM.

In the 9090 menu set the speed to 115200

After doing that, you should get the devices I mentioned in the device manager.

Download the appropriate bit via drivers from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1696621

You can also enable the weird comneon suspend device and the 7 acm cdc usb com ports by using that little script in thread above in case you don't have access to the 7284 or 9090 menus like me.

You want to use the one that says USB MODEM.

Then you need to extract the drivers to a folder. Then after that you need to extract the files from the msi.

I used the latest unofficial version of uniextract for that.

Now go into the VIA_USB_MDM directory and edit the VIA_USB_MDM.inf file

Basically you want to create 7 different lines in there for each one of your ports.

What I did was edit the BC.MDM line and replace it.

There's 3 sections in my inf file. You want to replace the all the BC.MDM lines with several.

Like so:

%BC.MDM% = AcmInstall, USB\VID_1519&PID_0020&MI_0a

%BC.MDM% = AcmInstall, USB\VID_1519&PID_0020&MI_08

%BC.MDM% = AcmInstall, USB\VID_1519&PID_0020&MI_06

%BC.MDM% = AcmInstall, USB\VID_1519&PID_0020&MI_04

%BC.MDM% = AcmInstall, USB\VID_1519&PID_0020&MI_02

%BC.MDM% = AcmInstall, USB\VID_1519&PID_0020&MI_00

%BC.MDM% = AcmInstall, USB\VID_1519&PID_0020&MI_0c

After modifying the driver, I right clicked on each unknown device, clicked on update driver software, then clicked on locate driver software manually.

Enter the full path to the VIA_USB_MDM folder, then click ok.

It should create a BR-something modem complete with a com port.

I used realterm to open each port at various baud rates and typed AT

into each port and checked for any response.

There was one port that gave strange responses back, so I thought that might be the right port, but it was actually the next port I tried that gave correct responses back.

And there you have it, AT command access to the modem.

But keep in mind, this is not direct access to the modem. It is still going through one or more hals (Hardware abstraction layers) somewhere.

The best way to talk to the modem is with ril commands or ipc commands.

You can use ipctool and logcat -b radio to talk to the modem with ipc commands.

Ril command injection is possible, but damned annoying. I recommend ipc unless there's a really good reason.

These 2 threads are really good sources of info I used to help me get this far:

I have used these folks for two or three unlock codes and they are spot on. All codes have worked flawlessly.

Just be sure to read through their list of devices from specific carriers that they do not support, I do not see ONE Telekom on the list of unsupported devices but you may want to shoot them an email and ask before purchase, just to be safe.
[HD2 Accessories] spike15_mk:
Hmm

Ok, I forgot to tell that I order 3 different codes from 3 different sites and non of them worked. Maybe they were scams, or maybe I made a mistake when I send my IMEI number I send it with 01 at the end(checked with *#06#), but under the battery on the sticker is the same IMEI, but without 01 at the end:confused: Do I need to send with 01 or without 01?

P.s Is there any related issue for sim-unlocking with my Rom, SPL and radio version, because I flash my phone(Dutty's rom, HSPL3 and 2.12 radio). Did I need stock settings(ROM, RADIO and SPL) before enter the unlock code?
[HD2 Accessories] hitekredneck:
The IMEI you got from *#06#, was it 15 digits? Or the one under the battery? I am pretty sure that you only need 15 digits for the IMEI# but I may be incorrect. Personally, I would go with the IMEI listed under the battery. Can anyone else shine a light on this subject?

My 2 Rhodium's and my Raphael were all 15 digits.

As far as custom roms, I don't think that makes any difference when SIM unlocking. The SIM unlock code should work with any rom. Although all of my unlocks have been performed on stock rom's.
[HD2 Accessories] johnerz:
Yes the IMEI has only 15 digits :)

The rom on the phone has no effect on unlocking it and the number on the label and obtained using *#06# will both be the same

Sometimes with newer production models the code is not yet available to outside providers - try your network and see if they'll do it for you - for a fair price of course :)

My question is: Is this setup saving me battery life? I'm thinking it is for two reasons:

1. for downtime with no tweets it's not pulling on the battery at all (I don't have that many people I follow so it's not that often, maybe a couple per hr on average)

2. text messages use less battery than data? (not sure about this one)
