[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
Anyone have issues with their gallery app constantly reloading? I've got about 1100 pictures on my picasa account and about 150 in the camera folder. And some other random ones strung about the phone. But I don't think that's too many, for the phone especially since they don't load alllll of pics at the one time (logically at least). But every time I open the app I don't hardly have time to click on a folder before the screen blacks and it reloads it self....over and over again.

If its a common issues anyone find a good alternative? Preferably one you can share from.
[Epic 4G General] dondadah88:
It is doing that because we only hav 324 mb of ra available to use and we are set to start killing apps at 40 mb free. It will quickly cache and maybe kill your gallery app.

Als your vm heap must be set to 24 instead of 32.
[Streak 5 General] khernden69:
Does anyone know when the official release of 2.1 or 2.2 is coming out for the Streak. This would be for the USA version. Thank you. :)
[Streak 5 General] cue_32:
2.2 supposedly pushed to Jan 2011...

As for 2.1, just use the leaked one from O2...works fine.

Then go on 2.2 Beta by Stephen Hyde. Works perfectly.
[Streak 5 General] khernden69:
Thank you for letting me know.
[Streak 5 General] borijess:
How do you know it was pushed back to Jan?
[Streak 5 General] ipguy:
When you say works perfectly you mean 90% there right ?
[Streak 5 General] Techvir:
For me 99%

But its more than worth even if it were less than 90%
[Streak 5 General] cue_32:
99% is pretty accurate... I have no problem with any of the apps I'm using. Worst case scenario you go back to 2.1 by simply flashing Update.pkg. its perfect! !!
[Streak 5 General] cue_32:
If memory serves me right, it was twitter update from lionel@dell

What about the known reboot bug and the wifi 3g bug ?

Some users are reporting excessive dattery drain issues

How often are you effected ?

Just asking coz my streak is my primary phone
[Streak 5 General] navrac:
Well mine hasn't rebooted except when I've told it to. The wifi/3g bug was solved by putting APN's back and a tweak to build.prop and my battery drain has been the same as the 2.1. In fact since I saw people posting 2.2 was power hungry, I optimized it a bit and now its better than 2.1 was.
[Streak 5 General] gersztoff:

[Streak 5 General] ipguy:
Can you point me to a howto tweak the build.prop, noob here
[Streak 5 General] navrac:
the later built (beta 1) - the one that's current at the time of writing apparently has debug code removed that was using power unnecessarily in the first build.

A weird thing but I noticed that people who used the lower lcd density setting were complaining about the power drain and those who used the default lcd density didn't.

So I edited my build.prop to set it to the old default of 160 to see what happened.

I edited my build.prop file using 'root explorer' which is in the market place. Its a paid app, but just makes it easier to play with the build.prop without having to use adb and push stuff onto the sd card and so on. You can just edit it in place.

You can just go to the system folder, open the folder and press the mount r/w button

click and hold on the build.prop' file and then select edit with text editor

find the line ending with lcd=140 and change it to lcd=160 and then menu button and select save and close. Then press the moun r/o button exit the application and reboot. It makes the icons larger again.

If you are having battery life problems I would recommend 'juice defender' when you aren't using the phone it turns of unnecessary services and turns on the data connection for one minute every 15 minutes ( or whatever you set it to) and switches off the wifi if its not being used.

Also removing the facebook widget helps as that seems to stop the streak sleeping properly.

Yesterday I had 37% battery left after 23 hours - albeit light use and I was asleep for 10 of them! Sadly I then flashed the latest build so I have no idea how long it would have gone on for - certainly another 8 hours whilst I was sleeping.
[Streak 5 General] ipguy:

[Streak 5 General] navrac:
I replied in your main thread - Steve is aware of it but its not a priority as there are a couple of free ones on the market that do work.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onaquest:
I was trying to update the status bar on my i9000m/JH2. I must have done something wrong when zipping, signing, or zipaligning the file. I was able to apply the update.zip without any errors through recovery mode. But when i rebooted, I was met with continuous force close windows. I had my original backed up and wanted to place that into /sdcard and then simply run it from recovery mode to 'undo' the damage i did.

/sdcard appears empty when I run abd to my phone while in recovery mode. If i attempt to push a file to it, i get 'permission denied'. Do i need to manually mount /sdcard in recovery mode to be able to overwrite /sdcard/update.zip (can this be done)?

[Captivate Accessories] staplebox:
OK - I've been using the ATT store Body Glove case since I bought the Captivate, which is ok but I don't really like the stripes on the back, and it is a bit too slippery for me.

I just ordered the Seidio case because it has more of a matte finish and I liked the felt interior. So I don't know if I like it or not.

A few minutes ago I took the phone out of it's case to dust it and clean out the case when I got a call. I was surprised at how slim the phone felt without it's Body Glove case on. I liked it. But I also found it a bit slippery. ( A speaker phone call was put on the arm of the chair I was in - with the case it would hold - without it slid away)

Now I am wondering if I should just use some skateboard tape or something similar on key areas to allow me to set it down and hold it comfortably (where it won't slip) instead of using a case. I don't use a screen protector and I don't think this phone needs it.

Any comments or suggestions?
[Captivate Accessories] staplebox:
Now that I've thought about it for a few minutes - I think what I want is a rubberized battery cover. That would be the bomb.
[Captivate Accessories] vsboxerboy1:
I don't use a case on mine and I've yet to get a single scratch on the front or back - the glass is very tough. I cringe at having to use a case, losing accuracy, clarity, and brightness on the screen and having to touch through that...having it hard to slip in and out of my pocket...not looking as nice. It's like if your wife made you use a condom every time.
[Captivate Accessories] kylelipp:
just "paint" it with some Elmer's Rubber Cement. :P Im really kidding but I'm with you I like the feel of the phone and I hate the rubber case I got it makes it a pain to get in and out of the pocket. Personally I plan on selling this phone in a couple of months so I want it in good condition.
[Captivate Accessories] staplebox:
Agreed that the screen is fine on its own. But I still think the back needs some help.

Also, I do not like condoms. Neither do my wife and kids.
[Captivate Accessories] vsboxerboy1:
Ah, well I saw something a while back where someone basically took four little rubber/plastic stickers and put one on each corner of the back of the phone to lift the back up off whatever surface you set it on just a hair. I would imagine that you'd get good traction with that too - I can't seem to find the exact application of it though......
[Captivate Accessories] staplebox:
This thread is mostly me think out loud.

I believe that what I want is a rubberized battery cover.

The cover is slightly recessed - it is lower then the bottom locking section and the top section with the camera. It also wraps around the sides almost 1/2 of the way.

I think that if the battery cover were coated with a rubberized, non-slip material, it would be better. If the rubberization made the cover stick out slightly, rather than be recessed, it would allow the phone to be set on it's back and not slide away and keep the camera off the deck. Also, the wrap around side parts of the cover would help when holding the phone.

Now, can someone tell me of a place/process that might do this? (Not rubber cement but close) My pickup has a Rhino Lining coating that I love. There is a place nearby that does that work but the coating is like 1/8-1/4 inches and that is a bit to thick for the phone.

Any Ideas?

[Captivate Accessories] staplebox:
Bought this stuff at Home Depot.
[Captivate Accessories] staplebox:
Then tested in on this beer can. I didn't clean or prep the can, just picked it up off of the floor.

This is 5 coats. It is still thin. Dries fast and feels just about how I'd like it to. Not tacky - sort of a hard rubber feel. It is flexible, the can bends and the stuff stays with it.

It can be scratched, you may be able to see a scratch I made with my nail. It didn't go all the way through to the can though - and I had to scratch hard. It looks like it would be easy to spray another coat over any scuffs.

I plan to do the back of the battery cover - thick enough to make it a bit taller than the top and bottom sections of the phone. The way it is going it seem like that may take 15+ coats. I'll keep testing.
[Captivate Accessories] vsboxerboy1:
Two things about that though, the battery cover is used not only as the speaker output but the battery cover itself also dissipates a good amount of the heat that the phone generates. You probably want to be a more careful than usual in designing something that is going to smother this part of the phone.
[Captivate Accessories] journeyman82:
not sure how much you're looking to spend but I put the Zagg total protection on mine. You get full protection on your phone but you can't see it, so you still get the sleek look and it's still very thin as well. The clear plastic is also great for gripping, I can set it on the dash of my car and drive normally and it won't budge.

Looks interesting. I wish they had the leather skin for the captivate. I would be all over that. In fact I may need to take a trip to the fabric store to see what they have.

Thanks.
[Captivate Accessories] staplebox:
Ok to finish up my saga...

I liked the faux leather on the cover mentioned in the post above so I went to the fabric store and ended up with some black, I believe they call it marbled vinyl. It looked and felt similar to the back of a blackberry I once held.

I tested it on my trusty Busch Light can with some 3M spray adhesive and it seemed to hold fairly well.

So I went for it. I taped off the inside and the prongs of the battery cover. Sprayed glue on the cover and the back of a piece of vinyl cut too big. Stuck it on and smoothed it out. I sat the cover on a bag of rice and and put a bag of brown sugar on top (to push around the curves) and topped it off with a gallon jug of tile grout.

Waited an hour, probably longer than needed, and used a pointy x-acto knife to trim off the excess. I had also put a piece of tape over the speaker holes so I cut that back open to. The underside of the vinyl has a white background so once it was trimmed to fit I went around the edges with a fine tipped sharpie, which blended well.

Overall I like it. It is just a bit thinker that the top and bottom bands, so if you lay her on her back those parts don't touch a flat table. It has a leathery, grippy feel without being tacky, which is what I was going for. I do already miss the front edge lip that the Body Golve provided but it is also almost it;s original thickness.

Pics below. (Sorry about the crappy last pic. I had the phone with new back all set up on a white surface, ready for it's glamor shot, when I realized that the phone is my camera)

Staplebox: great job!

Wow that is a nice, careful job.....
[Captivate Accessories] Dani897:
love it, im stealing that!
[Captivate Accessories] staplebox:
Go for it. Usually I prefer to buy a second of whatever I am defacing before I deface it but I didn't find any battery covers online. I also didn't look to hard.

It is still on and I still like it. The only thing I don't like too much are the sides. I completely covered the back, right up to the side edges. It is a perfect thickness on the back but feels too thick on the sides. I wish I could have found a thinner material that I could have built up on the back and tapered to one layer on the sides. I really wanted grippyness on the sides so, oh well, it's good enough.

I'm still on the look out for a better spray on rubber. I'll update if I find anything good.

Hopefully someone will start making aftermarket battery covers with some options.

Thanks and good luck,.
[Captivate Accessories] boborone:
Second the stealing. Awesome idea and writeup. Thanks for sharing.

From a phone on an app
[Captivate Accessories] staplebox:
I scrapped the vinyl. The edges were just bugging me to much. I still think a thinner material would work well though.

I cleaned up the cover - looked fine again with all the glue off of it.

I went back to the rubber spray. I've got about 8 coats on in the attached pic. Need to wait about 30 min in between coats. I'll keep going until I go to sleep, let it dry overnight - and test it out tomorrow.

ETA - put it on the phone the today. Love it. Doesn't add any bulk and provides a grippyness to the back and sides. I'll find out how durable it is.
[Captivate Accessories] ozone777:
The only problem with this option is that its pretty much permanent.

I chose to install the carbon fiber skin shown here.

It provides a small amount of grip but almost total protection for the phone.

And it looks really good and is removable without leaving any residue behind.

Also, it's thin enough that you can wrap a silicon case around it for times when you need added shock protection.
[Captivate Accessories] douglastheduke:
i like the process of what you did. i bet there is a better way to go about this. If you do perfect the process of pleather lining your battery case, you should market it.
[Captivate Accessories] staplebox:
I wish it was permanent, about a dozen coats of the aforementioned rubber spray started to wear off after a week or so. I pealed it all off and looked for something else.

I picked up a can of Rustoleum truck bed spray on liner. Which may be permanent, I haven't tried to take it off yet.

I coated the cover with that - which is a matte black with a gritty surface -kinda like sand. It came out looking pretty nice. Two problems with this stuff - the coating in between the gritty places is pretty slippery (like hard plastic) and it stunk for days.

My next bright idea was to add another coat on top of the first and then, before that coat dries, spray on some of the rubber spray - hoping the two properties would combine - a tougher coat that would last and a rubbery feel. I am no chemist but I did do some more testing on some beer cans.

It didn't ruin anything but the rubber also didn't last much longer - it is starting to rub off again. So I got some more testing to do.

BTW - If you use the Rustoleum - BE CAREFUL. it doesn't spray like regular spray paint. It comes out like a fire extinguisher. It has a recoil to it.

Magnets +Electronics = Bad
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SiNJiN76:
Yeah, but with blackberries that uses a magnet to turn on/off its display when put into a case, wonder if the magnet in the clip is strong enough to do any damage.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inferus:
Good example. Even palm uses magnetic induction for touchstone. Maybe those phones are built with magnets in mind. Not really sure if Nexus is built that way.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaytsus:
LONG TERM I'd wonder about the compass.. temporary close proximity with a reasonably powerful magnet I'd think is okay, but constant close proximity I'd be afraid would polarize it incorrectly.

But just to make sure, where is this money clip, and where is the phone? Surely not in the same pocket? If so, that's the number one problem in your question here.. I wouldn't put the N1 in a pocket unless it was EMPTY, even at that you're more likely to get lint in bad places. Get a belt case, horizontal or vertical.
