I just got off the phone with Dell and the guy on the other end said a fix was coming, he was not authorized to give me an exact date, and that I should continue resetting my phone multiple times a day until the fix is released.

I was pretty pissed (the guy actually chuckled when I said "So I should just continue not using the smart features on my smartphone?") so I didn't even bring up the fact that a few of the buttons on my keyboard only work when they feel like it.

Maybe I'll call back tomorrow. :\

No letters on sticker.

I just got a 8GB venue pro and when I remove the battery, next to the SIM card I see a black tape covering up something (I assume the SD slot) but no VOID written on it. The dev has a manufacturing date of Dec/8/2010 - which for a phone ordered last week is really bad!

So does this mean that I can remove the SD card without voiding the warranty?

Firmware revision ...7004.105

OS 7.0.7004.0

Hardware revision 112.576.2.0
[Venue Pro General] bbowman:
do a search in this forum and you will find that while you can't see VOID written on the sticker, the letters are left left behind when you peel the sticker off.
[Venue Pro General] Thunder_47:
Theres an issue with my DVP, now out of the blue it reports that the SD card is broken and i should either turn off the phone or make an emergency call. I dont own the cash or the card to upgrade the microsd, when I know where it is. Therefore, the black sticker is still in place.

Is there any known fixes to this seemingly random issue?

"Memory card is not working" message and black screen during callls.

I am on my third DVP and it is working great. But I've had it less than 24 hours, so I still live in fear of what might be ahead. It is the 16GB model with the .206 firmware.

I started out three months ago with the 8GB model on Tmo USA. It crashed and froze regularly but a factory reset would usually cure it for a few weeks or a month. But periodically I could not hear anything on phone calls and sent it back under warranty last week.

for some reason they sent me a new 16GB replacement (for my 8GB model) with the .206 firmware. I had heard the 16GB was more problem prone and wondered if they were offloading bad phones. It lasted 48 hours before I got the "memory card not working" message. and I could not make or recieve calls after that. when I would touch the call tile the screen went black. When people called me the answer button was not responsive.

My third one came yesterday, also a 16GB model and .206 firmware. No crashes yet. I'm waiting for them to start. scarred? you betcha.

Something that I am suspicious of...the first two phones started screwing up after I loaded my 5GB library of music on the the sd cards. I wonder if this somehow interferes with another sd card function in a way that adding apps does not.

I've not loaded music on this phone and will not until the firmware fix is released, just in case.
[Venue Pro General] aFo3262:
Dell said mid July for the firmware updates, still nothing. I have a DVP on old firmware(.105). Anything I can do to remedy the situation in the meantime, or is it just a waiting game? Thanks
[Venue Pro General] ducttape36:
keep your wifi off until you get the new firmware. that's the only way to ensure your sd card wont get screwed up. apparently the problem is the wifi and sd card bus use the same dma channel to write to the card, and that causes all sorts of problems.
[Venue Pro General] koopiskeva:
Just received my DVP (16gb T-Mobile) running .212 firmware. No crashes or glitches so far, ran wifi all last night and switched it off several times to test. Also, updated to the mango beta, and it running great all-around. I'm even able to take pretty good pictures using the touchscreen to take pics instead of the hardware button. The auto-fix on the mango camera works wonders!

Good times!
[Venue Pro General] mskovrinskie:
I got my ATT 16GB with the .212 FW last week and also updated to Mango. 2 big things that bug me big time as compared by my Focus:

1. The camera is junk. The low light quality, banding, color, and lack of anti-shake make this camera almost useless.

2. Delay in coming out of standby. My Focus turns on almost immediately. There is about a second delay on the DVP (not sure if this existed before Mango).
[Venue Pro General] notebookgrail:
I think the delay is becos of Mango. I have 3 DVP's side by side - one with Nodo, one with Mango Beta Original, last with Mango Beta 2 Update. Of these the Nodo is no delay. The last(Mango Beta 2) is definitely slow by a second when coming off stand-by.
[Venue Pro General] deepal720:
I just bought a DVP last week and I've seen H for HSPA+ appear on my phone in some area. I do not have Data service with T-Mobile so I have not try it.
[Venue Pro General] cdgoin:
I have HSPDA in area but new DVP with new firmware and Mango B2 doesnt show H ever.

Also noticing an echo on many cell to cell phone calls.. anyone else getting an echo of themselves when on the phone ?
[Venue Pro General] vtective:
I noticed a delay before and after mango. It's kind of annoying, coming from a Focus that turned on instantly.
[Venue Pro General] zimzoom:
Just got my DVP about a week ago and loving it so far (came from HTC Sensation).

One issue: on the hardware keyboard, when I press "Z" a "Y" appears and when I press "Y" a "Z" appears. Any clue what could be causing this?
[Venue Pro General] Igoran:
Looks like German layout activated. Change keyboard language to English.
[Venue Pro General] zimzoom:
I was so happy until I went to check settings. Keyboard was already in English. I switched to German and no difference. In fact, I went through the whole alphabet and didn't see any difference between the keyboard layout between the two languages.

Anything else it may be?
[Venue Pro General] endGameXIII:
A sensation, you say...I'm currently on one. Though I love my sensation, I've been looking for a chance to try my hands on a windows phone...but since tmo's wp7 selection sucks more than a vacuum, the 710 doesn't interest me much, and switch to att for the 900 is not an option at the moment, I've been looking at the dvp. I'm a bit miffed with all the problems with the phone, even two years after release. The lack of dev support is also a huge bummer...argh
[Venue Pro General] KimWinter:
I guess I'm one of the lucky few who has no problems with the DVP. Updates work great, the phone itself is amazing, no keyboard bugs, running the latest update on WP7, and no gaming or app problems. Although I never really did notice the delay in coming out of standby until I read it here on the forum...hehehe...but it really is not that big of a deal.

[Venue Pro General] phanquangkhanh:
Firstly, sorry for my bad English.

Then, I have a dvp tmo version, bought from Amazon 2 weeks ago. Unluckily, I cant use camera. When open camera, no thing but black screen and then reboot. Sometime, it can take picture.

After some days, I found that maybe the cable is unstable. Cause when I make pressure on the camera or the upper screen part of the phone, the screen did show some type of images (all green or all white, sometime a full picture).

Does any know what happen to my dvp ?
[Venue Pro General] heineken78:
I think you should return your device back to amazon asap. Probably its camera connector, but amazon is one of famous shops. They should exchange without problems.
[Venue Pro General] xpmymob:
the issue is caused because German keyboard seems to be activated via EM

You need to go to EM > Open the extra menus > Service Center in that at the bottom you have English & German. Click on English and I think the issue should be fixed.
[Venue Pro General] KimWinter:
In addition to what xpmymob said, to open the extras menu of the EM App you have to click on any blank space and (using the physical keyboard) click on the letters "q" to "p".

Sup guys, I'm considering buying a DVP, the thing is just too nice. The only issue I have is that I don't want to get a locked phone as I'm going to use it mainly abroad, does anyone know if the ones advertised on amazon as "unlocked" are really unlocked? I'm not sure if I can post links but you can just search on amazon for unlocked dell venue pro and you'll see it, it's going for around $225.

I've seen some people have had unlocking issues on some threads I've read, most problems seem to be with t-mobile phones that require an unlock code that neither t-mobile nor dell want to provide. Am I at risk of buying the DVP from amazon and getting a t-mo locked phone?
[Venue Pro General] wazmo:
DVP on Amazon

I ordered a DVP from a Amazon seller-I asked which variant they were selling, and the said you could get either one and they had no way of knowing which one you would get. I got a T-Mobile version but I have no AT&T SIM to test to see if its unlocked. I did regsiter with Dell, and I'll bug them about getting a SIM unlock code.
[Venue Pro General] Evil_Dog:
My DVP arrived yesterday and it was in fact unlocked, I was so relieved I don't have to put up with neither t-mobile's nor dell's crap.
[Venue Pro General] wazmo:
Yep-mine came the same way-I put in an AT&T SIM and no issues.
[Venue Pro General] mofotech:
Email Dell for unlock code.

UnlockCodeRequest@dell.com

I did it with one DVP I bought earlier but that one actually was messed up and I returned it. But Dell did email me the unlock code. They are pretty good at that and alot of people have been successful in getting a response from Dell. Good luck
[Venue Pro General] al3xand3r4:
Can anyone tell me how to calibrate dvp's accelerometer? I can't find this option anywhere in my phone :(
[Venue Pro General] kid1988:
1. Check camera settings for anti-banding. My DVP sets it to OFF every time I reboot. Otherwise I concurr, the shutter button is a bit tricky, I tend to press it to hard and move the phone. I decided the only way to get non-blurry images is to tap the screen. Just use the camera button to boot the phone...

btw. the camera flash is entirely useless. A candle emits more ligh than the DVP flash does.
[Venue Pro General] yohanip:
do you have the guide to make better camera picture with the DVP's camera? what settings, and which settings for which condition?

Hey Guys.....is buying a DVP today a good decision...?

Wen i saw the cell..i was jst so pleased wid the attractive looks of it , n also not many people in India has it .

Now, I am gettn it for arnd $180 in India.

Do u think that i shud go for DVP wen there r other products such as Nokia Lumia 510 and Samsung Galaxy Ace for the same cost.

If yes thn wat are the things tht i shud check before buyn it (as in the OS n firmware version etc.) to confirm tht it has the latest updates.

Help..!!

P.S It has windows 7.5

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boycey66:
Hi

I have just tried to update to 2.2, i updated Kies first, connected my phone, it came back saying update available, fully charged battery, all seemed to go ok, phone rebooted, but when coming back up I get the logo, and the start up music, then it vibrates a bit the keys on bottom left and right are lit up, screen black and doesn't seem to do anything.

I have removed battery, have tried 3 button restore (no effect) it just keeps vibrating every min or so.

holding the power button restarts it, thats about all i can get it to do.

Have I ruined the phone?? please help.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yiannisthegreek:
First question... Did you have a lagfix on the phone before you tried to update it?

Second question... If you answered yes to question one... Did you remove / disable the lagfix before you flashed through Kies?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boycey66:
i had lag fix and was rooted, i plugged it in to laptop and it was recognised and said update 2.2 available, so i thought that was ok.

Now it is as i describe as above, i get battery logo if i plug into laptop, bottom left and right keys are lit but don't do anything, screen is black and vibrates every couple of minutes, if i hold power button get the GT galaxy s screen then the music, then the S galaxys screen which goes black with the two keys lit, if i press power button again it goes off and to the battery logo again.

Cannot get odin or kies to recognise phone plugged in, or get it into recovery or download mode
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android.francis:
you didn't answer the question but I will assume that you were using a lagfix but did not disable it before you tried to update you phone.

try removing the battery for a few minutes and try going to download mode (hold vol down + home + power)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rawat:
Go into recovery mode (vol up + home + power 'till screen switches on) and select the delete data/cache (?) option with the volume keys, using the middle button to confirm. Your phone will work, but unfortunately, you'll loose all your app/settings =/

Should have un-lagfixed before updating :-s
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nightmare56:
let us know if Rawat's way worked for you.

I had disabled my lagfix too when updating to doc jk3 using cwm and same thing happened to me.

Only way i fixed it was to flash my phone's stock rom, jh2 2.1 using odin3 v1.3 and the firmware from samfirmware. (pda only, no pit, no repartition)

then i upgraded to froyo again and it worked.

if you are on the newest hboot (2.02)(which btw is achieved by vol DOWN and power) then i will DEFINATELY reccomend http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=829045

if you have the old hboot, i will reccomend a mish-mosh method i sorta stumbled upon. flash the misc with toast's mtd-eng.img to downgrade to software 1.47. from there use the adobe flash lite exploit. then i think you downgrade agian, to release date software, and root easily from there, before upgrading again. there are probably more efficiant methods than this. i just havent found them yet. maybe try going directly from the flash exploit to toast's part 2???

1) a radio is the radios the they put out for the phone different radios work diffident for your phone in different areas. a new radio does not have to be flashed it is optional. new rom do not affect your radio.

2)i have never received an ota updates while rooted but most of the roms you will find are out with the ota updates as soon as or before they are sent ota

3)that is true some do not work with 4G to find out witch ones don't you have to look in the opening post and it should be listed there.

4) when root is achieved and a recovery image is flash you will be able to back up your phone. it will back up everything . it is a good idea to get in the habit of backing up your phone before you make any changes like new roms, themes, or any mods.after root your apps will most like be going after root, in some cases if you go directly into the market the will show up under your downloaded apps and you can re download them from there. after root you can download titanum backup from the market and it will backup your apps for you so you can use it to get your apps back after flashing a new rom

5)your sd card should not be touched in the process. if you want to back up your sdcard easiest thing to do is just copy everything on to your computer this will not back up your phone only sdcard files

6) a kernel is a bridge between applications and the actual data processing done at the hardware level. The kernel's responsibilities include managing the system's resources (the communication between hardware and software components) flash different kernels give you different operating speeds, better battery life, overclock, and more
