Has anyone else been able to get it to load completely?
[Streak 5 Android Development] DemolitionManHD:
Hi everyone, while my streak will be hear tomorrow and have been searching through the site and would like assistance on where to download the latest/offical 2.1 dell release if there is one not the O2 version and how to update, as from my reading when 2.2 is release a 2.1 base OS will be required on the device if this is right.
[Streak 5 Android Development] ComfySofa:
I wouldnt bother with 2.1 - use DJ_steve's 2.2 build. I finally got round to doing mine last night and had some help from steve. It finally works as i would expect it to + you have the added bonus of not having any of the dell rubbish on there. This is of course my opinion but i think that most on here would agree with me....i think i could safely say now theres a valid working and quite frankly brilliant build of 2.2 this part of the foum has exploded.
[Streak 5 Android Development] nightworker-nn11:
I would totally agree. Having been upgrading at every earliest possibility I have seen them all.

When I first got the streak I loved it..then got 2.1..loved it even more..then took plunge to root n install from .zip n it was quite straight forward..only problem I had was windows 7drivers, but this was resolved by a bit of reading.

Seriously Dj staves 2.2 is amazing, its fast, stable and a credit to the streak.. Then load up flash.. then ur streak will b amazing..I mean BBC iplayer on that huge screen..gorgeous.
[Streak 5 Android Development] nightworker-nn11:
I meant to save Dj steves. Lol

Blooming keyboard.!
[Streak 5 Android Development] DemolitionManHD:
Hi, thank you for replying, could someone provided the link and guide to flashing. does this mean you can upgrade from 1.6 to 2.2?
[Streak 5 Android Development] nightworker-nn11:
Go onto the stickers section and read the guides /how too's n in there u will find all the downloadlinks in dj_steves's 2.2 download sticker.

Hope this helps n happy updating when the time comes.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gormander:
I recently purchased a 3.5mm to video/audio cable for my samsung captivate and I am noticing that the quality of the videos on the 46" LCD TV is not that great compared to when i watch the same videos on my computer. The cable I purchased is a Scoshe brand that I found locally from Fry's Electronics.

Is the sub-par quality due to the phone output or the cable itself? What has been your experiences with TV-Out?

Thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tylerspaska:
You're using a VGA cable, you'll never get HD quality content. It's akin to trying to run a VHS on your new 46" TV. It'll just never look as good as the HD content you've come to expect in the last few years.

For me, it works well enough on my GF's old 90's tv if we're going to watch a movie or some TV shows. I would never use it on my TV at home though.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
dude not vga, rca, aka composite video. composite is a notch above vhs and a notch below dvd. so yeah it's the tv out and the cable.

hopefully the micro usb to hdmi will work on the captivate with a future update. there are reports that it works on the epic. if not you can share with dlna via allshare.

i have a $50 media box thing from netgear and it works but the phone cant push the video to it you can only tick the video for playback (dont add to playlist) and let the other end play the video. also windows media center can be a dlna server and an xbox can play it as a media center extender, the ps3 is also dlna certified. there are also upnp apps in the market that should work with xbox. and ftp and webdav apps that will let you mount the phone as a webdrive or access with a browser. i know many of those options are great in the home but useless for travel and if your home you dont need it anyway.

the netgear device i have is very portable but unfortunately you still need a usb wireless adapter to use it, im sure there are similar devices that have built in wireless but may be more expensive.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gormander:
Thanks for the respones. Would you suggest getting a "higher quality" cable or am I just basically stuck with what I got? The pictures and videos look blurry (and pixelated) when I view them on the TV and I just want to know if it has anything to do with the cable.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
live with it till the usb to hdmi thing works

edit; if the cable feels very thin and fragile it may have poor noise rejection, some are not sheiled very well. also if the you had to mix the colors around to get it to work that's not good. video cables are a different impedance so you need to use the yellow one for video. i know 3.5mm av cables dont follow a standard format and i dont know if you had to mix and match connectors to get a picture. but on a 46 inch tv you wont get good quality no matter how high the cable quality is, it's just an old inferior technology and why the make s-video, componant video, vga, dvi and hdmi.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gandalf21502:
I have a 46 inch LCD and have attached the phone to it. A HD movie looks ok, but not near as good as running via the PC at 1080p via HDMI. When and if they get the microUSB to HDMI working, we should see an improvement.:D

No, actually not. For me the APN OnOff does not work on the SGS, and I know that this is the case for many others.

What I mean is that the JP6 Froyo build has the ability to enable and disable data network. The setting can be found doing a long press on the power button. What I need is a widget, like the one you posted, that manipulates this setting.

Hmm, just tried APN OnOff again. Now it works, but I am unsure if this messing with APNs is the way to go. Would rather want a widget that manipulates the built-in setting.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hpsauce37:
Ok so i have seen on here on thousands of posts about the galaxy s and lag issues. Users are constantly complaining of this and how samsung should fix it.

My feelings are this......

I agree that samsung should fix it but it seems after many new firmware releases that they are not that concernd with it or dont see it as that much of a problem.

The thing is though that with the various lag fix options out there that dramatically improve the issue then why so people still make so much fuss over it?

I have 2.2 jpm based rom on my phone with lag fix applied and the phone just flies.

My point is this....just lag fix and the its problem sorted.

Of course i am probably missing something here and these lag fixes may in time just fry my phone....i dont know enough about it to say. Would be grateful if someone could explain the pros and cons to me though.

Thanks

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pardus:
After backup, in my nandroid folder, the file 'ext.tar' is apparently corrupt, Nandroid restore is not working, (although it reports 'completed' but no boot). Bart restore gives this error: 'invalid tar magic'.

So my questions are, can the .tar be repaired and/or can I do a restore via fastboot without the ext.tar? (will the sd-ext contents be intact? I haven't done anything to it)

If I try the restore, my steps using the contents of the nandroid folder, would be:

fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase boot

fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash userdata data.img
fastboot flash system system.img

then reboot

correct?

Solved: - Not enough space on SD card
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezterry:
that will restore the nandroid.. (usually I don't restore cache unless you have offloaded some of the rom to cache to force it to fit into a smaller space)

however the /sd-ext is backed up to the tar file. (you might try extracting it on your computer... sounds like the header of the file is malformed.. I won't know about the rest.)

Of course if you just want to restore the system.. and the contents of /sd-ext have not changed this is not an issue.. fastboot can't modify the sdcard, least with the steps mentioned.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pardus:
Thank you for the reply, the cache.img file is very small so I skipped that one. Tried the above but no-go.

On my PC the tar only extracts about half the contents and gives a 'corrupt archive error' (winrar).

This all started when I flashed the oc614 kernel, but found everything even slower and then tried to restore with Nandroid and/or Bart.

I have now reflashed the rom (using your post here: http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8427522&postcount=1844) and am back to 'stock' but I would still like to restore what I had before the kernel flash.

Would I just need to flash 'system' and 'userdata' from the nandroid folder to get back there?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pardus:
Weird things, when ever I do a:

I am looking a solution in order to cook a 6.5.x ROM with the default WM lockscreen?

I use the LEO_S_LockScreenAppLauncher_Default_Skin and LockScreenAppLauncher_1_0_20142921_00 packages without any luck.

The phone is freezing....

Any idea please?
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
Just leave the sys lockscreen packages out. Or, set the enabled value to 0 in HKLM\software\microsoft\shell\lockscreen. It's always a good idea to just look at the rgu's in a package; most of the stuff is pretty easy to find.

Edit: maybe I'm reading it wrong. If there's some kind of gawdawful HTC lockscreen that's giving you problems, then leave those packages out and cook in the sys packages.
[Windows Mobile] totalcmdext:
The Enabled value to 0 in HKLM\software\microsoft\shell\lockscreen activate the WM6.1 Lockscreen.

If you dont use the lockscreen app launcher package you should get the default wm lockscreen without any other changes.

[Fascinate Accessories] Protonus:
No separate thread on this case so I figured i'd make one, as IMHO it's the best out there for our device, and also the best solution to the slippery battery door issue. Here's my mini review:

The Kickstand case, I got from eBay, for $11 shipped w/ tax (just search for "fascinate kickstand"), which is half off the in store price you'll find. The case has a slight rubberized / soft touch finish, and has a grip pattern in it, which makes it much easier to hold onto. It's quite thin, except for a bump caused by the kickstand, which is leveled so the phone lays flat, by some "feet" on the back. That slight bump I actually like, because I can easily tell which way the phone is oriented in my hand without looking at it. It provides nice protection to the sides and corners and back, so I think it will provide added drop protection. It fits very tight, I wouldn't expect it to come off ever. What I really like, is that it barely protrudes above the front of the phone at all, it adds a very slight lip at the sides, and that's it. This keeps the phone quite flat/thin still and doesn't change how you'd interact with the screen at all. The slight lip should help protect the screen too. All the cutouts are excellent in positioning, and provide nice "cover" for the side buttons against accidental actuation.

Probably the nicest thing of all which I didn't expect, is that the Kickstand works in both Portrait with the phone vertical, and horizontal in landscape, due to the way they positioned the kickstand on the back. It works great - this takes care of one of the things I missed from my Touch Pro2 (the tilting screen). It also has a tensioner, which allows you to tweak the angle in horizontal/landscape a bit because it's "stiff". For the $11 I paid for it, it's worth every penny and seems quite solid/well engineered for the price.

Only downside I see is that it's a bit tougher to take the battery out of course.

Highly recommended!
[Fascinate Accessories] Protonus:
Also, I missed the idea of using this with a holster, but found a decent universal horizontal belt pouch case that fits nice with even this kickstand case on. This auction is just one seller, there are many instances of this exact same case on ebay listed under multiple names:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270648647873

Just look for "carbon droid x pouch" or "carbon galaxy pouch" etc etc, to find one. The brand name is "Luxmo" on the package, the model is "LPHTCHD2CF1HBK". It says it's a "Leather Pouch for Google Nexus 1 / HTC HD2".

They're all the same case/pouch. What I like about this is you can use it with the belt hook for easy removal, OR use the belt loops for a more permanent one - it has magnetic closure, fits the kickstand case well, sits nicely on my belt, has good cushioning. It's easy to remove the phone using the hole in the bottom, just push up on it and the phone pops out. I also like the "carbon fiber look" it has, looks just like my holster belt I wear this on. There are plain leather versions just like this as well, that I'm sure are made the same way / fit the same.
[Fascinate Accessories] ben1284:
I use this case as well. Being an employee ive tried every case we sell and this is by far the best looking one and adds very minimal bulk to the phone. I love it!
[Fascinate Accessories] Florynce:
I also have this case and it is by far the best one I've tried on. The kickstand is really nice.
[Fascinate Accessories] Yossarian09:
The OEM kickstand case seems to have a bad design IMO. The reason I say this is when you watch a movie the volume rocker is at the bottom and not easily accessible. Watching video is the point of the kickstand so why hide the volume controls at the bottom? This was the first thing I noticed when I saw the case at Verizon.
[Fascinate Accessories] Protonus:
Um, that's more a fault of the design of the phone itself. I sorta agree, except Samsung shoulda put the volume should on the right side of the phone, and the power at the top. The normal rotation for landscape is counter clockwise, so the speaker is at the left, and the soft buttons on the right. This is because most are right handed so they're likely to want to use the soft buttons with their right thumb.

So it's no fault of the case that when the phone is rotated normally, the volume rocker is at the bottom. Not like that's a big deal ... just pick it up and change the volume lol.

Also this kickstand works when the phone is vertical/portrait, so it's one of the best kickstand designs I've seen for any phone, as many phone's built in kickstands or kickstand cases, only work in landscape/horizontal.
[Fascinate Accessories] theraptscallion:
I third the rec for this case. Its much better than the hard silicone version I tried first, and it allows me to use the phone as a much more useful media screen when on my nighstand or plugged in on my desk at work.

[Fascinate Accessories] Protonus:
Just search eBay as I mentioned for "fascinate kickstand" - there is only one case like this, you'll find it right away, sellers are selling it new for $11 shipped.

[Fascinate Accessories] andmer:

[Fascinate Accessories] mailaliasgar:
I can vouch for the kickstand case too. Without the case, my phone felt flimsy and I was afraid I'll drop it any moment. Now it feels much more solid and comfortable.

On an aside note, do NOT get the screen protectors from Verizon. They suck.
[Fascinate Accessories] skruff77:
I have the kick stand case too and i love it. i use the kick stand all the time.:)
[Fascinate Accessories] aloa64:
nice

got this case based on your guys' recommendations and it's pretty sweet. It's not that grippy silicone that sticks in your pocket. It's got like a nice matte finish and feels pretty solid. Also, the edges don't rise up too high like other cases do so it doesn't get in the way when you're using the touchscreen.
[Fascinate Accessories] TheBadBen:
Yeah. VZW(or whoever they get it from) really got this one right. Not to big, but it does add some substance. Good grip, but not sticky. Protects the phone, but doesn't hide the lines.

A+

[Fascinate Accessories] Protonus:
Um what? I don't know what you mean by this. This case fits VERY tight when on properly - it's so tight it often tries to take the battery door off with it when you remove it.

Are you talking about the Verizon Kickstand case this thread is about, or some other case? This case is all one piece...
[Fascinate Accessories] renf:
The version kickstand case, bought at the verizon store. Upper right section off the case is not completely flush with the phone.
[Fascinate Accessories] Protonus:
Can you take a pic of it while it's on your phone? Still not sure what you mean. Everywhere the case touches the phone it's tight on mine and it's no less flush in any region.

Or at the very least, take it back to the store and try another?
[Fascinate Accessories] larry0071:
It will not work in the OEM Samsung car dock or desk dock. No case made now or ever could do this, both require the phone depth and width to be absolutely unchanged.

The case should not be flush with the phone, the case corners wrap over the face of the phone, and as such if you set the phone face down, the screen will NOT be flat on the table, only the 4 corners of the case would be touching... the screen would be about 1/32" off the table.

I've been using this case for a couple months and love that it does not make the phone big and bulky, yet it offers a great amount of protection and the utility built into the kickstand is something that I could not imagine giving up. To me, this case along with some form of screen cover (Zagg is on mine) is the ultimate normal duty set up.

Sure, if your going to throw your phone face-first into the corner of your desk, drop it 3 stories, or drop it in a swimming pool... you may be the guy that should buy an Otter Box. For me, I hate the Otter Box,way too big. I like a thin and sleek phone, and with this case, you can have decent armor in a very attractive package.
