[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slughappy1:
I am running CM6 on my slide, and I can get a GPS lock. It's just a little tedious is all. I always have GPS turned off unless I'm using it. So these are the steps I use to get a signal/location lock.

1) Turn GPS on

2) Turn Navigation on and select address

It will never connect for me the first time

3) Exit Navigation and turn GPS off

4) Turn GPS back on and open Navigation

5) Select address again and make sure my phone is on my dashboard or can see the sky, and let it looks for about a minute.

If it doesn't get a location in a minute or so I repeat 3-5. I'm not sure if the phone needs to have a lined sight to the sky, but I know my gfs dads old gps needed it and I just do it to make sure.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krylko:
Reflash an 806 kernel and your GPS should work. It seems that part of the chipset can't handle more than 806. And it's not that much slower than 825 anyway.

Why do some albums not show in mediascape (and can therfore not be played) despite showing on the SD card and through the computer link up?

Help
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
Are they in an obscure folder? or are they a non-supported file format????
[XPERIA X10 General] Bennachie:
Neither.

A two disc set and disc two shows but disc 1 does not. No apparent differences between them either. Spooky:eek:
[XPERIA X10 General] loneLEE:
Well, for my experience, I managed to assign 90% of my 1700+ songs with a program called Media Monkey.

The album arts are embedded, not linked.

I even took the trouble to clear cache and restart the phone everytime I transfer. But then seems like only around 40% or so arts could be displayed.

I don't think the picture proportion is a problem, cos some of my album arts are Japanese singles (in the 90s and early 2000, Japanese liked to have singles in mini CD form, and their covers were tall designs).

I've exhausted ideas too. Hope someone can enlighten us.

And oh yeah, I tested the songs from the phone by playing through Wondows Media Player. The album arts are definitely there.
[XPERIA X10 General] shredrex:
I found that Mediascape did some weird things on my phone as well. Some albums show the correct album art, some don't....some albums are duplicates. I have gone in and checked the SD card to make sure everything is tagged properly and all....but still no fix. I downloaded Museek from the market place and only use that to listen to music.

Timescape and Mediascape are useless in my opinion :)
[XPERIA X10 General] Bennachie:
Yep, just checked with a file manager and the files are there and they will play using the manager but do not register in Mediascape. All tags appear ok.

Weird.

I had asked the question about a stock 2.13 T-mobile Rom with sound drivers from 2.10 so that Android would not have the robotic sound, but the thread seams to have disappeared. Any idea why? Seems like an innocent enough question. Anyway I was able to cook a 2.10 ROM to my liking, but I would still like to know how to switch those drivers since 2.13 was a little more stable and faster on my HD2. Thanks for the help

Becareful with just swapping over those files in that post. I tried it last night everything worked well, except for data. At one point I thought the phone was bricked. Had to flash stock rom from sd card to get everything back to normal. Might want to check with some of the chefs for any further details of how to get this done on a stock rom.
[HD2 General] masondoctorjt:
Thanks for the warning. I have flashed the latest stock that just came out yesterday 3.14 and it seems very good and works with mattc v1.8. So i'll probably just cook out the bloat and use that. Thanks for the help.

Hi... I'm very familiar with the difficulty the epic gps has with locking. I do experience this problem, but the thing that bothers me even more is that when it *does* lock (after a reboot or whatever), it's surprisingly inaccurate. When I open up google maps, it will have me down the street a ways, off anywhere from 50-200 feet. Just to clarify - it is pinpointing me... i'm not within a large blue circle. Gpsstatus reports 7/7 satellites locking. Rebooting doesn't help. It works fine for navigation... when I'm moving and it can "snap" to the road and whatnot. But if I'm just stationary, it's off by an unacceptably large amount.

In the same location, I've used my pre and my girlfriend's EVO, and found that those gps get them within just a few meters at max.

Has anyone else experienced this? Found a solution? Or at least an explanation... Is this a known issue that I've just missed until now, or is this something that might mean I have a dud phone and should look into returning?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nyvz:
I am having an issue with my HD2 where in all android builds I've tried and all radio roms I've tried, it always says that I am roaming. I've tried quite a few recent android builds and radio roms. I am in NYC using Tmobile and have used my sim in other phones and in WM and never shown up as roaming in my apartment.

I'm currently using ChuckyDroidRom and EBL 2.1a. The phone and 3G have worked fine in ChuckyDroidROM and in the original official Tmobile WinMo ROM. However, in Android my lock screen shows "T-Mobile 3G|Vstream" or "T-Mobile|Vstream" and there is always an 'R' in my status bar and i get no data unless i turn roaming data on. Is it possible android has an issue with the difference between T-Mobile and Vstream which are essentially the same thing and WM doesnt? My sim is 9 years old from back when it was called Voicestream, but I've never had any problems with it and as I said it works fine when running WM6.5 and it worked fine in all of the other old phones I've had over the years.

Here are the Radio ROMs I've tried (all with no positive result in this issue)

Leo_RADIO_2.12.50.02_2

Leo_RADIO_2.11.50.26**

Leo_RADIO_2.11.50.20**

Leo_RADIO_2.10.50.28_2

Leo_RADIO_2.08.50.05**

Leo_RADIO_15.36.50.07U_2.09.50.29_2 (from TMOUS_2.11)

Here are the Android Builds I've tried (all have shown the same issue where I am always roaming)

HyperDroidV1.5

JDMSV1.2

mccm_v1.5_customise

shubCRAFT_v1.5

bangsters_v1.3a_09142010

I'm tempted to just leave data on when roaming and let it think it is roaming as it seems fairly likely I wont get roaming charges at home since it does automatically connect to the T-Mobile network, but then there are the annoying extra dialog boxes that warn me about roaming in some apps, and also I'm worried if i go out of town and leave roaming data on I'll end up with big charges one day when my phone is actually roaming.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have tried searching everywhere for a solution but have had no luck solving the issue so far.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ceejay_be:
The first thing I would do is ask my provider for a new SIM. I think that will solve your problem.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nyvz:
Thanks, I will try that tomorrow when I get a chance to go to a Tmobile store. My only concern is that it doesnt seem like the SIM is indicated as the issue as it works fine in other phones including iphone, htc wizard, and many other phones before. The symptoms seem to me to indicate Android to be part of the issue, since the SIM has worked for many years and even works fine with HD2 hardware in WM6.5.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nyvz:
Any other ideas? I noticed the same question asked in at least one or two other threads on these forums, but never with any solution posted and barely any response. Thanks to anyone who may be able to help.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
Try to turn off Network Location and GPS on WinMo and try to fresh install Android and disable location in both GPS and Network and see what'll happen :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nyvz:
Ok, getting a new SIM from T-Mobile worked! And disabling GPS in WM helped get GPS working as well. I guess android is especially picky about carrier codes so my 10 year old Voicestream SIM wasnt recognized as T-mobile even though all the other phones I've used it in had no problem with it. Very excited to have 2+Mbps 3G and GPS on my HD2 using my $5.99/mo tzones plan. This is a big upgrade from my iphone 2g which only supported EDGE and didnt have GPS or my location working.

[Streak 5 General] strboy:
Hello all,

I am looking to buy My streak next month and I would like some personal impressions (pro's and con's) from actual users.

I have read the wiki and the FAQ's (great stuff)

I am currently using the Xperia x1 and I love it but its time to upgrade. (im also selling one as I have 2). I live in NYC and of course I have ATT.

I am all but sold, but some personal experience from the highly respected XDA community would be nice.

thank you.
[Streak 5 General] msx999:
I have a real love hate relationship with mine. I've had it since June, but will be selling it soon to get the upcoming HTC Deisre HD.

PRO

Super screen, quite repsonsive, really bright. HD youtube looks fantastic on it. Really snappy to use. Internet is a joy to use.

\

the CON is as a phone it sucks. It's just too big. It took a while to make up my mind, but if you use your phone to make calls a lot, it may be a little big. I've even dropped it a couple of times due to it's large size. Support seems weak as well.
[Streak 5 General] fone_fanatic:
I got it a couple weeks ago and love. In my opinion its the best android device for At&t so far. The aria is a mid-lower end and the captivate feels cheap so i settled for the streak

When you first get it you will be amazed at how big it is but after using it for a couple weeks it feels normal and other devices (evo and iphone) feel SO small in your hand. One handed use sometimes is a bit hard when on the home screen but theres ways to go around that.

Browsing is awesome, haven't had to many issues due to the lack flash. Games are amazing on the 5" screen, haven't done too much movie watching but do watch the occasional youtube video.

Don't have anything bad to say about it other than its aspect ratio is set to "long" (think widescreen tv) while most android devices out there are "not long" (regular 4:3) so some apps won't look right but i have been seeing updates in the market for added streak support.

One downside though would be the connector/charger which is a PDMI connection. The cable that comes with the device is a tad too short and a spare cable from dell is $19.99!

Overall i'm happy with it and would recommend it if its your cup of tea. Also its a really big attention grabber. You don't understand how many times girls have came up to me and asked what it was and how i just pulled it out of my pocket. Then there is those that hate that say its too big as they play with their little iPhag phone..
[Streak 5 General] flamingsamurai:
I also came from an x1 and streak has been great for me, I can only think of glowing comments.

The obvious question is the size, but really its not that noticeable over any other phone (actually I would argue its less noticeable than the x1). If you want an approximation of the size, put a casio calculator in your pocket, keeping in mind that the streak is significantly thinner than it.

Plus as fone_fantastic mentioned its a real head turner, and seriously not as ridiculous to use as a phone as it seems, its a great device, highly recommended.
[Streak 5 General] strboy:
Wow, thanx for the responses, keep em coming, I'm a pretty big guy 6'1 210, I dont think I would mind the size and that is what actually interests me most.

I'm happy to see some of you love it. unbelievably its not being demoed in any of my nearby att stores, so I havent had any hands on time with it. another draw to it is that I havent seen a single person with one (just like my X1), and I'm a waiter, I see tons of people and tons of phones...but no Streak's I like having the stand out device. just a bit worried about dell's first attempt at a phone

like I said keep em coming please.
[Streak 5 General] flamingsamurai:
Lol I'm a waiter too, its just as sea of blackberries and iphones. Wish I could just pull out the Streak and show off
[Streak 5 General] strboy:
Ha! we arent supposed to either, but I will sneak it in and show guests sometimes, (my x1 that is)...I don't get the wow factor I used to but....Streaks a coming.

and Yeah i see tons of Iphones all my co workers have Iphone 4's and BB torch's, I cant wait till I get my streak.
[Streak 5 General] Troute:
The Streak does everything I could wish and more, if there's one bad thing it's that it is a bit fragile. If you decide to get one make sure you also get a decent protective case.
[Streak 5 General] ChrisJ:
I don't use mine as a phone (data only contract), but as a MID I think it is great.

The screen size (and quality) is perfect for browsing while remaining truly portable. It is my first Android device and thanks to that is endlessly customisable and has got me tinkering 'under the hood again' which is something I hadn't realised I'd missed.

Build quality wise it isn't bullet proof but given that you take care of it you shouldn't have any problems.
[Streak 5 General] checkbox111:
I have a love hate relationship with mine to. I love it totally:

Web browsing: what other smartphone can you visit and read a website with not having to zoom in a scroll left and right to read text on any site?

Ease of use: it's a Android!

Reliability: the HTC HD2 is at this time the closest competition IMO, used to have one but it was so unreliable with it's wifi i soon started to hate the sight of it!

Size: fits in any pocket i have, including trousers.

Don't watch TV, but wait until you veiw youtube on it or start view photo's you'll never wnat a small screen again.

What i hate about it is when others who complain about the size! they new the size before they bought it right, so they obviously worry far to much about what others think of them! that's not the streaks fault it's theirs. If i'm standing at some busy junction and i answer a call, if others start looking then i think they just want one to and they're eyeing it up to see what it is :)

The galaxy tab will be released next month, but portable it's not! look at the size of the bezel around the screen! that would look strange, holding a netbook up to your ear :eek:
[Streak 5 General] BrokenPixel:
I know it's a bit off topic but the Samsung Tab won't be getting voice on the US side.

now back on track

I love the streak, best parts are as said before, screen size, browsing experience (I use dolphin HD, skyfire and regular browser) each one i like for different things, I do browsing mostly on it.

cons. my streak won't charge but it's ok ( I paid half price), besides that, is that it doesn't have froyo which I don't mind at all, the other thing is that there are not many devs for this phone/tablet yet, but nothing to worry. Also the down side is the "PDMI" port, there aren't any third party chargers, cables, docks but I hope they'll come down eventually.

I'm skinny 5'10 and the streak doesn't feel all that big when against my head, no one even notice when I'm on the BIG phone talking to someone, I don't get any weird looks, but when I lay that "flipflop" on the table everyone looks at it and wants to have a go.

I've used the X1 and had several HTC's as you can see on my sig, one thing tho is that you might miss the physical keyboard, but you'll get around it, the screen is so big that the on-screen keyboard are not bad at all, I personally use "multi-touch keyboard" and that does the trick for me.

hope that helps.
[Streak 5 General] THJahar:
Yeah, I think that this device is one of the best things I have ever bought.

the only down side will be in two years time.

Once my contract is up, I don't think I'll be able to go to anything smaller! 5" is the exact maximum size for it to be held comfortably (I definitely wouldn't get a Galaxy tab to use as a phone). But I cannot face going back to a smaller sized screen it ouwld feel like a step back.

And I'm wondering will there be a Streak II ? Or any other phone like it in 2 years time.

I can just envision my self wandering around with a forlorn look on my face muttering "I want 5 inches, I want 5 inches" (and probably get arrested when i walk past a school)
[Streak 5 General] htcjikelly:
I'm in love with this phone device. The screen is awesome. Very responsive and big enough for me to type fairly accuratly on.

Talking on the phone feels normal. I didn't expect it to, but I've had only minor issues with calling. I have found myself sometimes hunting for the speaker but find that I can hear fine if I just hold the Streak a hair away from head. Basically my fat head was muffling the sound if I had the phone resting against it without having the speaker right over my ear.

I do wish that Dell would answer someone's post about the screen failures. I suspect there was a build quality issue with at least the early Streaks.

I also wish someone would get 2.2 working on a Streak so I can do remote desktop and have full exchange support, oh and Flash.
[Streak 5 General] BrokenPixel:
To add 1 more con, there is no VPN support if you use windows vpn LP2T, but hopefully it'll get sorted on 2.2.
[Streak 5 General] SAman1:
I was starting to panick somewhat after I ordered the Streak & agreed to sell my current HD2 to a friend soon as it arrives, and then came across some negative reviews and discovered many people were having problems on this forum with the firmware issues related to upgrade to Android 2.1 & the limitations of stock Android 1.6. (which version are u positive guys using?).

Now having read this thread, you guys have got me optimistic & excited again!

Can't wait for it arrive next week. Hopefully I will once again feel "...this is the best phone I have ever owned", just like I did when I got my HD2, and the HTC HD before that. I don't think I could bear the disappointment of feeling I have taken a step back in the eternal quest for the ultimate personal communication device which I embarked on about 15 years ago with the Nokia 2110, followed by a variety of iPaq (HTC-made) PDA's, Ipaq phones & various HTC-branded devices.

Thanks guys for sharing your impressions.
[Streak 5 General] strboy:
LMao...I'll look for you in the papers two years from now

My sentiments exactly,

Question regarding the size, with my X1 I rarely ever hold it to my face I always use the Stereo headset that came with it, does the streak have on also (bundled) is it any good?
[Streak 5 General] bluefrog:
another ex-X1 user here. Love the streak and can't think of another device I could replace it with currently. In fact it's hard to leave it alone and the battery gets quite a hammering :D

Yes you get a stereo headset with the streak and it's not bad at all really. I don't use it myself (got some Ultimate Ears 'phones which sound incredible and I only use handsfree over BT in the car) but it should be fine...

I've kept the X1 for when i'm doing "rough stuff", like photographing 4x4 events - can just shove it in a pocket out of the way whereas the Streak would probably get damaged. For everything else though (especially in the car for satnav, music etc) it's one hell of a good device.

I really hope 2.2 makes it over cos that last little piece of the jigsaw - embedded flash in the browser - will make it a stunner. Keep an eye on the thread about USB hosting as well. If that can be actioned there are a lot of possibilities there too. For example I want to be able to download the occasional shot from my camera to check on the Streak's fairly well calibrated screen. I can also resize and send if necessary and POSSIBLY even back up the camera's memory card! (IF it works of course!!)

Everything works better than it did on the X1. BT streaming, web browsing, emulation (PSX for example), graphics, user interface (and i was using a custom WAD desktop on my X1), call quality, you name it :)

Up until I got the Streak I thought the X1 was the best phone I'd had but this is a whole other level!!
