Well, my favorite brand of CIGS panels are only available in 6.5, 12, and 25 watt types. I think the 25 watt is a bit much, and the 12 watt should work. Here are some buying options: http://www.google.com/products/cata..._result&ct=result&resnum=5&ved=0CFUQ8wIwBDha#

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigMrB:
I have just rooted my desire and flashed it with the VillainRom....

My questions are: I have enabled app2SD on most apps and thats great, but when I look at my internal memory through DiskUsage, It says I only have 157mb (Data) of space and thats taken up by the apps + system data that wont budge (adobe air etc)... Would taking off Stock apps increase this 157mb or would they too be stored in applications?

And why is there only 157mb available internal when you get 500mb?

Do widgets need to be kept on internal to stop them disappearing?

Sorry if my questions are obvious but I literally only looked into rooting a week ago so I am a proper noob!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigMrB:
I also have the updating icon on virtually constantly.... is it a prob with the Rom or can this be fixed ?!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
first of all do you have an ext partition? apps2sd wont work without one? also apps2sd only puts /data/app/ and the dalvik cache on your sd card, the /data/data directory remains on the device, thats why adobe air ect takes up so much space, removing stock apps wont free up any space as they are stored on the system partition, the desire dosent have 500mb of internal storage who told you that :confused: it might have 500mb of rom but thats a diff question.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigMrB:
Ok ignore the 500mb i don't know where i got that from lol!!! The rom has apps2sd enabled I thought thats all I needed? I am still having trouble fitting on all my apps !!

If I was to put a new rom on there can I just delete the zip after and delete the folder containing the old rom? Is titanium sufficient to use as back up if I was to put on a new rom ?! ---- Forget that just done nandroid backup just to be safe! Is the back up stored in clockworkmod?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
if you pressing the move to sd option, in manage applications, thats not apps2sd , thats just the crappy move to sd option on froyo..... you need to partition your sd card with an ext 2/3/4 partition to enjoy apps2sd+ ;) i assume the nandroid backup image is stored on you sd card .....
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigMrB:
Nandroid backup stored on SD?? Is it under backup in the rom file or is it actually called nandroid?? I backed up through recovery ...

Man i need to do some reading lol.. thanks for helping... ill partition through rom manager once i know if I've backed up properly!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
ive never used a nandroid or any other kind of backup in my life :o lol i really should learn tho because its a pain setting up my rom everytime i flash :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setspeed:

A question about an accessory in the general section?
[Vibrant General] pavvy:
... and if you

decline

the location consent (allowing Google's network to collect location info anonymously, blah blah blah) -- the phone kicks you back into the menu, WITHOUT allowing you to turn "Use wireless networks" on. Is this standard across Android phones now?? I know Google has their meathooks in me eight ways to Sunday already, but it kind of stinks I can't use wireless networks without accepting that business. (Or is it standard for Goog to collect that stuff if you use Google Maps on, say, a BlackBerry -- and only Android phones give you the notice, and option of declining?)

(I actually first noticed this over the weekend, when I turned U.W.N. off and then back on -- didn't remember it from when I first set up the phone -- though I haven't gotten any updates yet, so I guess it can't be a "new" feature...?)
[Vibrant General] kangxi:
I think you are thinking too far into it. How else would Google be able to return to you location specific results if you didn't share with it your location? You can assume that they may be using the information for other purposes such as research, but really.. does it matter that they know you are in your house searching for a pizza place? Or that you are driving to work?
[Vibrant General] pavvy:
I suppose that's true... it is necessary for location-specific results.

By the way, was it determined that "U.W.N." should be

UN

checked when GPS is also activated, for best GPS performance (at least until the GPS fix that comes with the OTA update)? Thanks.

[Windows Phone 7 General] Wolfas:
Hello,

one question bothers me since the first time I have heard about WP7. Why Microsoft have decided to create a whole new OS without thinking of OS that would ne NT-based so any program made for normal PC would run on our phones. Just imagine, how many developers could easily port their programs to new OS, just changin the screen size, leaving all core components just the same... All classic PC games, like Blood, Duke Nukem workin flawlesly on a phone without the need of any port. I believe, that it is the only real way to compete with Android and Iphone OS. What do you think? :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] rruffman:
if the app was created in siverlight/c# which alot of newer apps are then it can be ported to wp7.. For sometime now microsoft has been pushing their silverlight for devolpers to use so if the games you mentioned is bult in silverlight there should be no problem...
[Windows Phone 7 General] emuneee:
NT on a mobile phone would be a usability nightmare...look how far windows mobile got with the masses. Microsoft is not catering towards the hackers, but the masses.

And to be honest, I would not touch any mobile device running NT...LOL.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rruffman:
me eather!!! i am so done with wm 6.0, 6.1, 6.5 and its many problems having to flashing rom after rom, restarting the device cause it has no memory left, this list goes on... wp7 is like a breth of fresh air...
[Windows Phone 7 General] Wolfas:
Why so negative? WM always had problems, but the level of freedom and customization made me love this platform more and more. And I wouldn't be so sure about unpopularity of this kind of new OS, as NT-based Windows OS platform is the most popular in PC world, stable and nice-looking enough, so why it couldn't be that popular in mobile phones, especially with wide variety of programs already designed for this platform, only waiting for small fixes of resolution? Those games are from dos era, with no good port on any mobile platform...
[Windows Phone 7 General] rruffman:
dont get me wrong i not trying to say 6.5 is not for some people just not for me... I think the fact that smartphones moved to a more touch enviroment it seems that the old wm is not as finger friendly and made more for the use of an stylist, to me this type of os seems to not work well on mobile devices for long peorids without a reboot maybe its the way its design or maybe it just have too many things of the desktop enviroment not sure but it gets to be a problem for me, others my not mind. As far as customizing goes well guess you cant have everything.. i personaly would prefer a more stable os than customization, and i am sure additional pc like options will come as well as more customization in the future..
[Windows Phone 7 General] prjkthack:
I think the main reason why NT would not make a good mobile OS is simply because it was never designed or meant to run on a mobile device. Your phone is not a computer, so your phone needs an operating environment to suit it's purpose.

The "phone as a computer" approach has been tried by Microsoft, it's called Windows Mobile. While I love Windows Mobile, I have to say, having "Windows NT" on a phone just doesn't make sense.

While it would be cool to play Duke Nukem on your Windows NT mobile device, at the end of the day, you are going to put down your Windows NT phone and just sit at your computer and play Duke Nukem on that. It's just a better overall experience, and Windows NT was designed for that sit-down, productive, huge screen experience. So it wouldn't make sense to invest in a platform that no one would use at the end of the day because their desktop computer does it better.

What you have to do is create an entirely unique and different experience designed for the phone and "on-the-go" life, to complement the Windows NT desktop experience. That is after all, what your phone is for. That's what Windows Phone 7 is.

Can't wait to get my hands on a Windows Phone 7.... phone.... XD
[Windows Phone 7 General] Wolfas:
Well, I guess you are right, but I will try once more to support my idea, if you don't mind. I still see some reasons why NT- based mobile OS would be a good idea:

1. There are plenty of popular netbooks, tablet PC's and other relative small devices with full XP, Vista or Win7 OS. All of them are made for on the go experience and still having NT OS. Not even talking about miniature UMPC's. We also often leave these devices unused when we turn on our normal PC's at home, but doesn't prevent them from having huge popularity.

2. Of cource, I do not want to suggest porting normal WinXP to mobile phones (but win98 on my touch pro didn't look half that bad :D ), but rather something with an UI suited for small screens, but still capable to run any application made for normal Windows.

3. I also think about the interest of developers to this kind of OS. Theorically, there would be no need to learn OS-specific programming, just the things used on any NT OS. Most of the developers who makes programs for PC would be able to make a version for this OS just by changing the resolution, leaving engine just the same.

Please, say your opinion about these things I've pointed out
[Windows Phone 7 General] emuneee:
1. Netbooks and tablets still operate outside of the smartphone arena of capabilities and requirements for most users. There is a reason why there isn't a successful phone running Windows XP. You can write the drivers and software for phone functionality, but at the end of the day NT was not produced with phones in mind.

2. Applications written for desktops are written for desktop processors and memory capacities. Its not a simple change of just resolutions. What if an app request memory that doesn't exist on the mobile device? Chances are the mobile device can't even address that amount of memory. So you design a mobile focused NT kernel...well now all apps can't run on both platforms..so what's the point.

3. Yes you do, because all the capabilities available on a desktop aren't available on a smartphone. Developers still have to keep that in mind when their app is in development.

I sit here looking at my Windows XP work workstation and I would kill myself if I had to use this on a phone. Windows Mobile was hard enough.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
I forget the name but there was a secret (ish) project inside Microsoft to make the NT kernel more portable and sorta combine it with the CE kernel. They were basically building off the MinWin work.

But remember, native code still wouldn't be cross platform. x86 and ARM are not binary compatible. Just look at "OSX" on Mac desktops and "OSX" as the base of "iOS". Nothing crosses back and forth.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tom Servo:
The NT kernel doesn't scale down that well yet. The kernel land is still full of bidirectional vertical dependencies. The current lowest profile incarnation called MinWin needs like 40MB RAM to boot to a text console and offer next to no APIs and is still shock full of missing dependencies (apparently boot loader magic makes it not break on boot).

Once they're really done despaghettifying, you might see it on mobile devices. But that'll still take a while, because right now, slimming down involves tons of aliasing dependencies to nothing.
[Windows Phone 7 General] anhyeuemmaimai:
Absolutely no reason why they could not run NT on a smart phone but why would they? They already have Windows CE (aka pocket PC) and if MS had been serious about Pocket PC IMHO they would be in a much better market position now.

One of the biggest messups with Pocket PC is the inconsistancy of the user interface and MS failed to revamp the 6.5 completely for touch.... They have a lot of good things going with WM 6.5 but it was an incomplete effort and it shows.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Wolfas:
well, I see you are right... That NT is much more complex monster than I thought, thanks for clearing that out :) Yesterday, I found information about device called xpPhone, I wonder what would you say about it ? :D http://www.xpphone.com/en/product/specification.html
[Streak 5 General] xilpaxim:
(This will be long and winded, and I apologize in advance for it)

So, I'm super duper interested in getting the Streak, but I'm trying to be cautious, because I've been burned in the past of buying something to fast without considering future release of products and the product itself. So I've got a few questions.

What I like

First, I will state the features that attract me most. The screen size seems almost perfect. I've been also considering 7 inch slates, but I keep coming back to the streak for 2 reasons. 7 inches isn't pocketable, and so far none of the 7 inchers have phone capabilities, meaning I would have two devices I would have to carry. The pocketability actually is the more attractive to me, as I would want to carry this thing everywhere with me (work, parties, travel).

I know Archos is coming out with a 5 inch slate, but they don't have the market available, though I also realize that more than likely you can get it added with a simple .pkg or .apk or whatever they are called. But then the 2 vs 1 device argument comes into play there.

Worries

1. My concerns I guess are, has anyone heard any news of any 5 inch size phones coming out in the near future (within the next 6 months)?

2. if I root and put Froyo on my Streak, I think I can go back to stock and add the official releases when they come out, correct? I'm not sure how complete the 2.2 release is, does everything now work? Camera, GPS, wifi. What about using the O2 2.1 release?

3. The main thing I will be using my device for will be movies/comics/general media consumption. I've heard of Rockplayer, it seems to do all major video formats from I can tell, but does it play well with the Dell Streak? What would be encoding limits?

Sorry if many of these questions have been asked and answered, I've become a bit confused moving around all over the forum.
[Streak 5 General] CGI_Ram:
I think your worries can be put to rest.

1) I'm not aware of any phones in the 5" game coming, but no doubt there will be. Its probably a ways out though.

2) If you are saavy enough you should have little problem tweaking your Streak. I think most people find 1.6 good for your media consumption, save for flash.

3) The Streak is awesome for media consumption... I think you are exactly right in your assessment of the 5" vs 7"...

Do it!
[Streak 5 General] wezknowles:
1. I've not heard of ANY 5" phones coming out at all. 4.3" is about as close as most phones get to the Streak.

2. I'm running 2.2 on my Streak at the moment and 99% of things are ok. The only little bugs I've found are WiFi can be a little temperamental when turning it on and off, the camera sometimes crashes and screenshots through DroCap come out red.

3. I can't really comment on RockPlayer as I've barely used it myself, sorry!

I love my Streak and I don't think you'll regret it if it's 5" you've set your heart on.
[Streak 5 General] Fazziebear:
Hi,

The streak is a great phone.

Answers.....

1. Ask most streakers and they won't go back to small screen

2. Yes you can. Just done it myself. Everything works apart from camera. Everything is better apart from battery.

3. Media is what it does best...well sorta. Screen size is made for it. Used to use rockplayer but I then moved to arc media player. Not perfect but plays most formats from flv to avi

If you want a great phone with large screen the streak is the only one that pushes the limits
[Streak 5 General] xilpaxim:
You all are starting to put a tingle in my wallet. ;)

Sounds like the camera in 2.2 is a random works or doesn't work? Eh, I could probably do with 2.1 until then, I use my camera fairly often right now.
[Streak 5 General] wezknowles:
It didn't work for me on 2.2 until I did the (very easy) build.prop mod from the Streak Froyo thread.
[Streak 5 General] aSquard:
I'm in the same boat as the OP. Currently ditched my FUZE for the iPhone 3GS and while the 3GS is, to me, much better than the FUZE... I'm bored of Apple. I'm looking for an Android device and I've narrowed it down to the Streak and the Desire.

My reasons for worrying in regards to the Streak are with device lifespan/OS updates. Sure, it comes with 1.6 now and Dell has pormised 2.1 before the end of the year, but what after that? Will the Streak see 3.0 or will Dell switch their focus to the Thunder (or whatever else is coming down the pipeline)?
[Streak 5 General] wezknowles:
If you're down for hacking new ROMs on there...well...there are still people perfectly happy with their G1 ;)
[Streak 5 General] aSquard:
I did enjoy flashing my FUZE so I may be ok with the Streak then...
[Streak 5 General] gilrad:
One thing I think I should point out though, the Streak isn't as pocketable or handheld as a 4.3 inch device. Sure the thing fits in your pocket, but there are numerous reports of the lcd screen cracking underneath the glass as a result from pant stress. I personally use an external holster which works fine, but it isn't exactly pocketable by that metric.

Second, you have to handle the phone more carefully because of its extra bulk. You can't exactly handle it one-handed and maintain a sure grip on it. This creates a bit of jostle anxiety; I tend to cradle it wit both my hands defensively or refrain from using it altogeter if I am not sitting down in a stable environment.

Mostly I am highly paranoid of dropping it, because with Dell not offering repairs for the Streak, that would be 600 dollars out the window.

But aside from that, I couldn't be happier with this phone.
[Streak 5 General] xilpaxim:
hmmm that is slightly worrisome Gilrad. My first PDA (a Handspring IIIe or something like that) had that fate happen to it in my pocket. Maybe I should contact my insurance carrier to find out about this.

[edit] found this

http://www.worthavegroup.com/

has anyone used this insurance?
[Streak 5 General] gilrad:
As long as you get a decent holster I don't think there should be any problems, I certainly haven't had any with my easecase. I mostly wanted to point out that 5.5 inches crosses that boundary where you can treat it like a normal cellphone.
[Streak 5 General] navrac:
I find it ok size wise.

It lives in my back pocket and has been dropped a few times and its still fine. I think its about a rugged as a 5" screen could be unless its cased.

I'm running the 2.2 build 1 (or 0.2) and the battery life is looking good so far - especially with juice defender - even on the first 2.2 build with light use and juice defender installed I ran for 23 hours with 37% still left.

I think the new build should improve its battery performance with heavy use.

The only bugs so far that I have experienced is the camcorder not recording in 720p and the inbuilt wireless tether doesn't work - but there is one that does. Also some things don't appear in the market as it thinks its a nexus.

I would recommend trying the 2.2 build instead of the stock 1.6 - its like a different phone - much faster and smoother and flash support really makes it great for watching stuff on the web.

It took me a few days to get used to its size, now I wouldn't go any smaller as the screen is brilliant for watching films and playing games and surfing.

I wouldn't go any larger either as it wouldn't fit in my pocket.
[Streak 5 General] xilpaxim:
After reading everyones responses and also finding that insurance plan, which after a coupon code I found (tenoff) a 2 year plan is about $112, I am completely ready to make the plunge! I'm really excited today!!!!
[Streak 5 General] Azamatka:
Dropped my streak earlier today. What can I tell? still works good and fat even with all cracked screen but oh my I wish I didn't drop it :(
