another useless thread.... gratz newb android user ITS CALLED GOOGLE PEOPLE USE IT! DONT BLOAT FORUMS
[Fascinate General] broncobiker:
Oh my god dude you are getting on my nerves. If you don't like the thread don't look in it. I'm not an android noob, I've been using since vzw got android in the first place, Ive used chrome and gmail since beta, my whole life is in Google's cloud. Damn. Not noticing a small icon doesn't make me a noob. People like you are the exact reason I never posted here before and only lurked and donated. What an amazing bit you are contributing to the community, good thing I'm not judging the whole on you.

Go ahead and do a search for what I was asking, I couldn't find anything. If you read I also consulted the manual to find nothing relating to the symbol. Go to hell.
[Fascinate General] chrisw27:
Not everyone knows those arrows mean that it's syncing to Google, so this thread is not useless.
[Fascinate General] broncobiker:
Exactly, I had assumed it would use normal data signal for that. Plus I hadn't really seen it before because normally its on and then off, but in this case mine got stuck, thats all. Thanks guys.
[Fascinate General] AlexDeGruven:
I wonder if it would violate guidelines to report a post like that.

Completely unhelpful, and ultimately detrimental to the community as a whole.

Sure there's no profanity, warez, or otherwise problematic material, but it's definitely something that shouldn't be here.

Slow your roll man, you were a noob once to and you didn't use google per your recommendation. SEE. Hard to bloat a general discussion forum.

good day.

yet another useless post by you. you have been a member here for 7 months in most of the forums im on you would still be a noob and by posting this crap(seen it in at least 2 threads) you still act like a noob. dont like whats being posted either dont read it or keep your comments to yourself.

blah blah... still bloating forums.. imagine how bad its gonna be when roms start rolling out

Soooooooo. Is this brother #1 or brother #2 that edited the post? Roms rolling out will be a welcome sight. Answering noob questions also welcomed. But the attitude that may have been picked up from a different forum is not welcomed.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supraman89:
I rooted my Vibrant using the one click lag fix in the android market. When i heard about the ota i removed the lag fix and unrooted my phone. When i was rooted i used Titanium Backup to delete Telenav Gps, and Amazon Mp3. Would This Cause any problems when i update? Those were the only bloatware apps i removed everything else is completely stock. I know i can get amazon from the market but what about telenav? Im confused
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g1g:
The ota should reinstall telanav shouldnt be a problem ... Or you can always reflash jdf, thru odin...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supraman89:
What is jfd? Sorry but im not all that smart when it comes to android, im studying to try and learn everything. I downloaded the vibrant dump and i have all the original apk's that came with the phone. Is it possible to push them back to the system/apps folder? If so how?

After much fun with the G2 rooting chat, it has been decided that we should collect the fun... tips/suggestions from users that have no clue what is going on or what they are talking about.

I'll start out with a few:

jaake: "i haven't read the thread but have you tried ROM Manager? thats how i jakilbroke my other phone?"

FatTire: "Hey, looks like everyone here is doing a smash-up job. I haven't read the thread but would it work to put the phone on an altar and sacrifice a goat?"

FatTire: "Okay.. sorry- didn't read the thread. Have you tried putting the phone under a pyramid?"

nameless|: "I haven't read the thread, but have you tried using an EMP to short out the protection? You just have to put a faraday cage around the other components"

FatTire: "I haven't read the thread but have you tried microwaving the phone for like 30 seconds to burn out the protection? Thanks and you're all doing a hell of a job."

Feel free to add anymore great suggestions!

[Streak 5 General] Arkalos13:
so my streak just broke. it fell out of my pocket and hit the ground and cracked the screen. i call dell and ask if they can repair andd they tell me at this moment they have no repair center for the streak, so i have to buy another one. but im not going to buy another, im just going to at t and getting a samsung captivate... Any thoughts????
[Streak 5 General] Troute:
Thoughts about you buying a Captivate?

it really sucks that they can sell a device with no repair options for the customer to pay for I have registered a complaint with my credit card compnay about the purchase with no service options. They stated to me that they had no repair center for the streak i asked them how do the justify the one year warranty with no repair option. i so miss my streak been dead as **** for a week.
[Streak 5 General] Arkalos13:
yea they told me the same thing, no repair center. how can that be possible.
[Streak 5 General] mschaffer:
Oh! I am shocked. The company that is run by Mr. Accounting Irregularity himslef, the king of crappy capacitors, Michael Dell, is taking money for extended warranties to a product that they cannot repair anywhere. This is truly unexpected.

Just say no to Dell!

[Streak 5 General] Troute:
If it's a guarantee problem they replace it without any quibbles, if it's not you'll just have to wait. The Streak is flying off the shelves faster than they can make them so there are no spare parts available just now. Eventually you'll see parts start appearing and then maybe Dell will start a repair service.

[Streak 5 General] Azamatka:
Writing now from the cracked screen streak as well. Dropped it this evening from the height of about 1.5m to the concrete, right across London abercrombie and fitch. The screen is all covered with spiderweb of cracks but works flawlessly as LCD board survived without any issues. The chassis of the phone proved itself to be rigid armed there is only one scratch mark right where the impact took place. Everything works, when I dropped my streak a friend of mine was calling, so I just lifted it up and answered the call and only after I finished I burst into tears :) going to carphone warehouse tomorrow, hopefully they will replace the screen for me.

Damn. Still so painful.
[Streak 5 General] jsalamy:
I just got a letter back from Amex with an RMA number for dell. They are refunding the total amount of the streak to me.
[Streak 5 General] charmedsolutions:
Dell replaced mine without a problem

I called Dell tech support and they forwarded me to Dell mobility who indicated that Dell will replace the cracked screen with a FREE once in a lifetime replacement. Further they paid all the shipping for the cross-shipment.

Two days later I had my replacement unit in my office, and on Monday I will send them back my broken one. I used the Dell PC Suite to back and restore all my data and I am happy as a clam.

Needless to say, I didn't even take the new item out of the box until I had bought my new Otterbox!

Dell Rocks! (On this one at least.) Nice customer service experience guys.
[Streak 5 General] ronj1986:
Since all Streak's bought from Dell include a 1 year warranty, why not just tell Dell it won't power on anymore (or something that makes them believeit's a defect covered under warranty). Mine came with something like a 1 day exchange, so by the time you get a replacement and mail back your broke Streak, there is nothing they can do about it. That way you could even blame whatever company they tell you to use for shipping.
[Streak 5 General] shawntx76:
Dell is sending me another phone

It sounds like Dell will send you one new phone. I told them my screen cracked. I was asked if I dropped it and said yes. It also sounds like the replacement phone will still have 1.6 and will be locked. I was also told that all the phones will be updated by the end of Dec. My screen wasn't that bad, I wonder if I should have waited. All and all I am pertty happy.

Cracked screen!

Hi,

I have also crakced my screen - well my 1 yr old son did! :(

I have just emailed O2 asking if they do repair them. As I have no insurance, I am expecting to pay up to £150.

Like above, I can use the touch controls too, but just have the bottom all smashed up and waiting to cut my finger-tip!

Anyone had their screen replaced from UK? How much did it cost?

Thanks!
[Streak 5 General] Lord60:
I posted an ebay link in another thread (don't remember which). Actually it's not a link but an item number you can search. you can order replacement screens/glass and it comes with DIY instructions on replacing it.
[Streak 5 General] melonman:
I cracked my screen and took it to carphone warehouse. They quoted me £39 to repair it and sent it off but when I went to pick it up they just gave me brand new one.

[Streak 5 General] neotarum:
Carphone Warehouse's quote seems to good to be true.. I will ask them too to get a price. Someone on Gumtree has asked for £180! I'd rather buy a new device than to just replace the screen for that much! That is insane!

180596579938 is the ID for the ebay part, (Thanks Lord60) which are sent from China. They too are quite costly - about £120 I think it was - and trying a repair job on an older touch screen phone (My first WM phone), I'd rather get it done by someone who knows how the whole thing works... :)

Got reply from RWS NEXTG:

"Due to work load we're currently only selling Streak LCD's on a supply basis only, complete replacement screens for the Streak are £159.00 fully inclusive."

Wow! A bit more and I could buy the whole thing...! (Well, little bit of exagerration) :)

Thanks
[Streak 5 General] neotarum:
Wow, design of 2.2 is much better! Swype looks amazing - although would look much better without the cracks on the screen!
[Streak 5 General] auramae:
Dell replacing!

After researching broken screens, I was fearing the worst, but I am in the phone with Dell and they are replacing my phone at no charge, no questions asked. Even asked me if I knew what to expect about the 2.2 update. No complaints about customer service from me. :)
[Streak 5 General] neotarum:
Thanks for your input. Did you have the phone insured? Was the LCD cracked underneath without the gorilla glass or was it just gorilla glass broken. Thanks
[Streak 5 General] jesseiscanadian:
Wow Dell

So i was in the same boat, cracked my screen dropping it on carpet this morning...

I called my provider (Rogers), they basically told me that they would be "happy" to discount a new phone to $499 but that it is phyical damage and they will do nothing. I am at day 32 with this phone on a 3 year contract.... crushed...

So i phone dell, i spoke with Laura in the tech support center. She is shipping me a new phone! She told me all it will cost me is a smile! This has completely changed my opinion of dell, and sure they may be kinda ****ting the bed with the 2.2 roll out, but with customer service like this, i have no issues waiting for my update!!!

2-3 business days to arrive, prepaid label back to them, and you can bet your ass im going to buy me an otterbox now...

Good luck to anyone else!
[Streak 5 General] neotarum:
Thank you! Just phoned Dell Mobility (UK 0844 444 3244) and the guy I spoke to (In US) said as the Streak is new they don't have a service in place for us to order repairs so they will do it for free even if accidental!! They do have the facility in place for fixing the phones, but we cannot pay them as yet when it's our fault.

Love you Dell and yes, I am getting a screen protector and carry case too!

Since putting a sticky-tape on the screen to avoid cut fingers, I have realised that capacitive screens are much better than resistive when it comes to screen protectors. I could still use the phone with no problems even through the sticky tape!

Hopefully everything goes according to plan and I was able to encourage someone to check with Dell too - and good luck.

Best wishes!!

PS Thank you Dell!
[Streak 5 General] silentapproach:
same thing happened to my phone.

so i called rogers and they pretty much treated me the same way, actually told me to drive a hour to go to a rogers plus store to get it looked at,

just called dell and they apparently told me i dont own my phone.

so what number did you call exactly? cause i really need to find some sort of solution.
[Streak 5 General] bugluv67:
I bought my streak from Best Buy. I also opted fro the no questions asked service prtection plan. It costs me 9.99 a month but i paid 7.00 a month for protection when i was with sprint with a 100.00 deductible on a smartphone. Best Buy says they will replace the phone no matter what the damge to the phone is or how it occured.

Has anybody else purchased this plan or tried to use it?
[Streak 5 General] kable:
Pulled my Streak out of my front pocket today and found the LCD cracked from the top middle of the screen downward in an upside down V shape with multiple colors and areas of just white. Not the Gorilla Glass but underneath it :(

Called Dell Mobile support and asked about the warranty. Was told if it is indeed a crack as opposed to just bleeding or some other failure it would cost me 250.00 to swap it out for a refurbished unit. :confused:

Not sure what to do at this point. Try talking to someone else, change my story or .. try fixing it myself. Ugh.

Looks like this Otterbox Rubber casing is craptastic.
[Streak 5 General] fleurdelisxliv:
you can do it yourself :D :D :D :eek: sucks though! i dropped mine from over six feet with a otterbox commuter no break anywhere
[Streak 5 General] bigfoots1:
this is real simple math...if you have the warranty they send you a refurb..if you don't then thats your own fault.

found a california ebay vendor that has the replacement glass and lcd for 131.00 shipped . beats waiting two weeks for one from hong kong, should be here in 2 days at the most.

Carphone Warehouse

I live in Britain and have an o2 Dell Streak which I got through Carphone Warehouse.

I too managed to drop the Streak (from a grand height of about 4 inches - it slid off my bag which was on the floor) and caused LCD sunspots.

Took it to Carphone Warehouse and they charged me only £60 for a new LCD unit, so they took out the battery, sim and memory card and handed it to me.

A week later i got a phone call from them saying it was back. To my surprise they handed over a brand new Streak. Boxed. Sealed. WITH memory card, cables and all.

So for £60 i got a brand new streak and now have two of everything.

I think I was one of the lucky ones.

(Also, one other man had gone into the same shop recently with the same issue, and instead of sending him a Dell Streak back, they were out of stock so they simply sent him a galaxy tab...)
[Streak 5 General] offtheedge:
I saw this tweet from dell a couple weeks ago, pretty much explains their stance on screen issues. http://del.ly/6010uA1o

Like someone said above, I saw replacement screens on ebay for $100 so that might be your best bet. Good luck
[Streak 5 General] kable:
Didn't want to risk any delays ordering from China caused by festivities for this time of year.

Ordered my new LCD Friday Night and received / installed it Monday afternoon. :)

Works great! I just need to figure out what kind of glue/epoxy was used on the 2 side tabs ( that covers the screws on both sides ) as they are a little loose now and it appears only the glue holds them on.

That was a pretty easy job. Thanks to the others guys who posted their tips on various posts on how to doing this!

anyone know what's REALLY causing this in some recent phones? i've seen some with an hd2 say it's not a problem. but i google it and see posts going back to april about the issue. and i never saw an official fix released,so i returned it. if this is happening with the g2 as well, would this be htc's problem? i'd like to know who to call instead of returning my phone next time. i liked the hd2 and froyo! just couldn't deal with slacker radio not keeping a connection.

You are correct. You cannot place international orders with an AMEX. Beautiful Widgets is the reason I added a MC to my Google Checkout account.

If you aren't using AMEX, then you might want to contact them directly. My brother had a difficult time with the order going through for his Captivate and after several emails back and forth with them, was finally able to download it. It was apparently some problem with Google Checkout - but they weren't able to figure out exactly what. I think it was just a matter of trying multiple times over the course of a few days before it worked.

Same here.

Amex wouldn't allow a foreign transaction in Google Checkout. For me Mastercard appended a foreign fee of 0.05.
