[Streak 5 General] streakNmyPants:
Ok, so here's some good news. :D:D

I just went to dell.com (yeah, I'm on there all day) and I wanted to know if there was an update for the US Streak and to my surprise it's there!

Wasn't there before only on the UK site but now on the US site

http://support.dell.com/support/dow...dateid=-1&formatid=-1&source=-1&fileid=415121

Will try it out later tonight when I get home (if I don't fall asleep).

Tell me if you try it and if it works out!
[Streak 5 General] Techvir:
That is just the pc suite !!!!

You had me all pumped up

Dell has repeatedly said that US streaks wont get 2.1 but go to 2.2 directly
[Streak 5 General] ricoks:
my guess is this will allow dell suite to 'work' with 2.1 devices, as I thought some were having some issues with the suite not working once ppl upgraded.
[Streak 5 General] r00tcause:
Not only is that just the PC suite (not a ROM), it's not even an updated PC suite. Version A00 is the same one we already had.

can someone please inform me how the tmobile galaxy s phone can reach quadrant scores of 2400 and im only pushing 1200
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DomSim:
I've hit 2700 on my Evo my penor is HUGE!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjarn:
haha funny i actually seen his quad score so i know its true
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nukedukem:
I wouldn't think too much of it. Cyanogen showed that the difference between 1200 and 40 gabillion in quadrant can be something as rediculous as the filesystem. I don't put much weight in those scores when comparing different phones.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjarn:
ok so other then cm what other rom/kernel would reduce lag and increase speed right now im trying fresh 3.3.0.1 with king kernel #9
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beatblaster:
Why don't you try installing >>Snap 7.6 kernel on a Sense ROM and then try to enable TURBO? That'll *should* get you scores beyond 2000 but I'm not sure how well it works. >>Snap kernels are designed for CM ROMs ONLY and there is no support for installing a >>Snap kernel on a Sense ROM - but I've read about others who've done it. Maybe give that a try? I haven't done it so I won't be any help but I've read about it which means maybe it'll work for you.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
Dude I really don't understand why you're so concerned with Quadrant scores. It's just a number.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saturn2K:
Well, it does ultimately represent something. But unless you can see a real difference, I wouldn't care so much.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
If your phone is snappy and smooth, it shouldn't matter what score you get in Quadrant. When I was on CM6 I was scoring 2000+, on Fresh I get around 1650 and I think my Evo is running way better with Fresh than it did with CM6.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjarn:
well see ive tried fresh with the kings kernel and still not gettin that high i wanna try nets kernel but not sure which one is compatible i like baked but takes too long to boot i also like fresh
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
Have you tried the new official kernel? It's not going to give you crazy quadrant scores but it will make your battery last a lot longer + I think the way HTC lifted the cap makes it smoother than the custom kernels. It makes the phone more useful which IMHO is more important than Quadrant scores.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oshizzle1991:
thanks for providing me with my new signature!
[G1 General] peliROJO:
I have switched back to my T-Mobile G1. It offers better signal and more constant connection over my Nexus One. I don't know what it is about the N1, besides obviously holding it, that makes the signal fluctuate so badly. I have posted before about it swinging wildly like a roller coaster. But the G1 is stable in those same places. I can actually send text messages again without the need to hold the phone by two fingers, without a case, upside down and six feet in the air, outside. The G1 is slow in comparison but that's worth the trade-off.
[G1 General] timekeeper:
Maybe try flashing a new rom + radio? If not...you could always send it to me ;D.
[G1 General] ArsonALL:
I have a spare G1 that I would trade for the N1 that way you have 2 awesome phones!!:o:o
[G1 General] bunu:
update the radio to the latest one, wipe and re-flash CM 6 stable and see now!
[G1 General] crissyk14:
Yeah if your looking to get rid of your nexus I'd love to make a deal :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Epicardium:
Hey there folks. I have been around the forum for a few years with various devices. Enjoy all the contributions from others and have learned a BUNCH. My question now, that I can't find answered elsewhere, is this...

I am on Page Plus cellular with my Incredible because I am near WiFi often enough, so the 50MB data cap doesn't bother me so much. Does anyone know what the data usage may be like assuming I've disabled all the autosycing, weather, etc.

If you have PP, do you mind sharing what you generally use per month, while staying under the 50MB allowance. I'm trying to figure out just how often I can sync email, weather, etc. I know for sure I will use at least 30MB per month just using MMS. So that leaves maybe 20MB to do other stuff. Any info would help. Thanks!

Many thanks!

Paul
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Epicardium:
rephrased the question, so this is a bump....
[General Topics] JustinDroid:
Was wondering what my favorite dev community thinks about this Editorial by Nilay Patel of Engadget...

Excerpt:

...But hacking can definitely go too far, and Google doesn't provide any way for you to return to the original Android experience that shipped with your device -- you're at the mercy of the manufacturer and the carrier. Some manufacturers are better than others -- HTC provides updaters for many of its phones -- but some, like Motorola and Samsung, provide nothing at all. Once I left the reservation and installed that leaked 2.2 build, I was gone for good -- no official path back to the fold exists. That's not true on other platforms: if I was running a jailbroken iPhone, I'd just restore it with iTunes, and it would be factory-fresh with known software. That's simply not the case with Android, and it's a problem -- Google can't keep implicitly condoning Android hacking and trading on the enthusiasm of its community unless it requires manufacturers to provide restore tools for every device. Sometimes you just want to go home again.

In my ideal world, consumers would be able to download official stock Android builds for their devices directly from Google, but I'm not ignorant of the carrier- and manufacturer-driven reality we live in. For better or worse, Android's only "open" until the carriers get their hands on it. But Google should insist that every Android manufacturer and carrier release images of their customized firmware for every device as well as tools for easy restoration. It's the only fair way to treat the people who are hacking the platform and giving it the amazing momentum it has, and the only fair way to continue promoting the platform as "open" when in reality the carriers and manufacturers are doing everything they can to lock it down.

Go check it out at Engadget... :mad:
[General Topics] h4waii:
He's an idiot. That is all.
[General Topics] smutek:
Interesting article I thought, and not really any kind of negatives against Android, more against the carriers I thought - like this bit (emphasis mine):

Link for those interested:

http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/23/editorial-the-dark-side-of-android-hacking/
[General Topics] JustinDroid:
I will agree it is interesting, I won't agree that his "Editorial" isn't anything negative against Android. He is directly attacking Google and inferring that Google should be held responsible for backups to stock is a phone is bricked amongst other little nuances...

I have been reading Engadget for years, and if there's one thing I am sure of, Nilay Patel is a gigantic Apple/iPhone proponent and it looks to me sometimes he is forced to write articles about Android. He took the picture of that DROID X being operated on with his iPhone 4 FFS... If it quacks like a duck. Topolsky needs to do some better delegating.
[General Topics] PTown599:
Sounds like someone screwed up their phone and isn't happy about it. I doubt they have that many custom roms for phones in India anyways.
[General Topics] JustinDroid:
I am not sure if that was a joke or not (haha if so).

If not, Nilay is not in India, he is in Chicago and works for Engadget which is an AOL owned Gadget Blog...

Either way, haha!

[General Topics] PTown599:

[General Topics] regulator207:
I was reading that article and was almost getting mad that he would write something so awful and illogical. He mentions that the droidx has a battery bug because it drained while flashing and he had to hotwire it. He then claims on boot his battery was 70% the entire time.

He failed to realize he was charging his battery during the hardwire. /slaps forehead.

His foolishness is astounding. His reputation just went into the toilet. He should retract this article to save whatever reputation he has left.

I like android more than ios, but i would never expect apple or google to provide a safety net for those trying to bypass the security manufacturers place on a device.

However, I do wish all devices were open and allowed the end user to do whatever they please.
[General Topics] dimebagdan65:
Idiot, yes; idiotic idea...? Not so much... Let's just take this for what it is, an excellent reminder to make an initial post-root nandroid backup and guard it like the Crown Jewels of England lol. For those that didn't hear the agtn show, he's as ignorant on the phone as he is in print and I think it's safe to say he won't be writing anymore editorials for a little while lol. Back to his point though, I think it would be awesome if the carriers and manufacturers showed some love and would post the most current and up to date handset/carrier-specific flashable recovery tool. Google shouldn't be held accountable, that's like saying gas companies are responsible for fuel economy and performance. It's not the fuel's fault, its the car... Same here, Google gives our beloved devices the fuel they need to run, its the manufacturers and carriers that add their own blend of herbs & spices to the mix, making for totally unique end user experiences. Just my opinion though :)
[General Topics] th3:
I usually refrain from commenting on such articles as they're there to solicit and incite a response so many times intentionally cooked with stupidities and false exaggerations. The article was sensationalist. But I was honestly about to just post this link and mention the guy should either step outside into the real world for a few moments to achieve some balanced realistic perspective or just quit writing such if he can't control his urges to make an official article out of every useless and flawed thought that crosses his brain. He is twisting the best features into the worst. Dark side?

The article is riddled with extremely petty pedantics of few individuas being exploded into a major Android issue. Every individual does this at their own expense and is repeatedly told so and how to get back exactly to what we started with. This is Step 1 knowledge on here. What's so difficult for him to understand? It looks to me like absolutely nothing but a typical cheap shot at Androids revolutionary and unmatched development, flexibility and customizability, and one that is clearly false. The whole reason Android is shooting for the stars is due to consistent development finding solutions for each users problems and niggles.

That's called FUD, and it's trying to detract lay users from Android and its tweaking.

[Epic 4G Android Development] jmoch2:
Tonight I rooted a friends phone (I'm a lowly Hero owner, with root running CM6 Froyo!) using the "one click" method posted in this forum. Took a couple tries, but it seemed to work. I installed superuser and wireless tether and both seem to get root access. I also ran the following command from adb to ensure root and it get the following (which I believe means that root is achieved)

C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb shell

$ su -c id

su -c id

uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)

$

Wireless tether loads and successfully gains root access through superuser however, not one of the 3 laptops I have in the house can see the SSID. Under log in wireless tether I can see mention to an unknown device or unsupported device.

How did you get wireless tether to run on the stock OS with root access? Or is there another wireless app I should be using? Barnicle didn't work at all.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bubby323:
Try beta 9 from the google code website for wifi tether it works for me.

any other tips? (yes I looked at the tips post. so far i have installed that screenshot taking tool, gotten the adblocker and installed titanium backup)

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gonintendo:
one last question: are the lag fixes worth doing? what's the risk? and most roms tell you to uninstall them before flashing, how easy is this to do? and what roms can be "lagfixed?" what is the best way to do a lagfix?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamVib:
Well, I suggest playing around with your phone. If you notice it's slow, and not as fast, go ahead and install it. Also, download Quadrant Standard. Test it. If your score is 1100-1500, go ahead and install the lagfix.

To install it, this is what I do. I am not quite sure if this is best way, but it works for me.

Remember, I am not responsible for what you do to your phone.

Step 1: Download RyanZA's lagfix from the market. (search "lagfix")

Step 2: Install EXT tools from the app.

Step 3: Apply Lagfix.

If you ever want to uninstall the lagfix, go to the app and do it from there.

ROMs that work with the lagfix as I know:

Vibrant Hybrid

Frankin-Twiz.

I also recommend installing the Captivates camera. It's a 1000x better. You can look that up in the tips thread.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinnydakid:
I'm running the Voodoo lag fix on Bionix 1.3. The phone absolutely flies and the battery life is excellent. I'm also pretty sure that you can remove the lag fix by simply placing a named folder inside of the voodoo folder and rebooting, so it should be pretty easy.

I don't always complain, but when I do, I #BlameWes
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamVib:
Oh, also, here's another tip:

If your battery is horrible, let it drain ALL THE WAY, make sure it turns off. Then charge it to 100%. This restarts the cycle, I do this twice a month.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gonintendo:
thanks!!!!!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YepMan68:
You've got choices...

I'm also running 1.3 Bionix, but with the KingKlick kernel and no lag fix. It might not "fly" like the voodoo lag fix version, but it is quick enough and the battery life is amazing. Been using the phone unplugged for about 8 hours with some calls, texts, and work-related emails and I still have 79% of battery.

Tried all of the 2.1 Roms so far and played with them for a few days each, but have finally settled in with the above.

Whatever you do, give it a few days of regular use before you turn to the next one. And be careful to read the OP's instructions or you'll end up getting all crazy and wanting to throw your phone against a wall cause it bricked...

:cool:

If you can do it after a good nights sleep, it's probably best cause otherwise you get easily frustrated and really do want to throw it against a wall -- but don't.

You'll recover it - just keep at it. Good luck and hope to hear back that you got it going.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PolishDude:
these phones are almost unbrickable, if you get the vibrant screen you should be able to unbrick it....also the phone is less then a year old so it should have a warranty if it comes down to that.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YepMan68:
Keep at it, try these few ideas

--If you got it from eBay, try and see if either the seller is willing to fix or look into Square Trade Warranties. I have a couple of their warranties on phones and ipods and they have always come through for me when the items I get need repair. Also, check into Craigslist locally and see if there is anyone that does phone repair. I have a guy in CA, near where I live that has fixed my electronics before and I found him on Craigslist.

-keep trying man. don't give up.

[Legend General] ifcho:
Hi,

I am wondering if anybody has similar problems with wifi - 3g/data connection works perfectly, but when I am connected over wifi, after sometime the connection dies and I have to disable wifi and enable it again, in order to restore network access. I hoped that froyo would fix that, but as there is no froyo on the horizon I decided to ask.

The phone firmware is 2.1 update1

Software number 2.05.405.2
[Legend General] familyhousing:
Yes I get this too. The connection is still active but many apps suddenly decide to notify me that I need a WiFi/3G connection before I can use them. Turning WiFi off and back on fixes it. This also happens on my branded Desire running 2.1, which may imply it is related to the router settings. I will have to test on other routers. My WLAN is configured to 802.11g only, WPA2-PSK only (WPA-PSK and 802.11b not allowed) on channel 13.
[Legend General] evank418:
actually great to know that i'm not the only one. i get this all the time, and i even emailed htc about this and response was retarded. they told me how to connect to my router. i tried pretty much everything on this issue. connect and reconnect, change channel from 13 to 11 or 14, nothing seems to be working. hopefully 2.2 will change all this.
[Legend General] kdma:
i think the htc legend has the worst wifi reception for all phones of 300 $

havent noticed a single improvement with every update
[Legend General] xxbeanxx:
I had this problem with my first legend. The touch screen malfunctioned so I brought it back and got a replacement. The new one is much better. I am very happy with it.

For instance, in my home office I could never connect with my first legend, it would say association failed when trying to associate with the AP. On my new one it works and I've had it sitting on the desk now for about 4 hours and I picked it up and unlocked it and the wifi worked immediately.
[Legend General] shuikit:
I very occasionally had this until I switched the wifi sleep policy to never after reading somewhere that it would actually increase battery life and haven't had this problem since. Not noticed any difference with battery life though I only switch wifi on when I need it and off when I'm finished.
[Legend General] MrWunderbaum:
For what it's worth, I have the same problem and I'm sure it's related to my phone, not the routers.

I hade no problems with this before my last OTA update...
[Legend General] kdma:
i dont want to hijack the thread but is the wifi antenna like **** for everyone or is just me?
