[Streak 5 General] Lord60:
I just got off the phone with Dell for the 5th time today. I went through online support, and direct on the phone support to include several reps, and 2 supervisors (if they are really who they say they are).

According to them, the Beta streaks were 30 day devices only. They were supposed to work for 30 days and then stop working. To a degree, most did, since AT&T blocked the IMEI numbers on their networks. Some, like me, took them over to Tmobile and they still work with any GSM card. In any case, Dell's intention was to make the beta units "throw away" phones. Their beta program was designed to give the flavor so that beta owners would then purchase new models through whatever channels, be it AT&T or direct through Dell.

As such, and as with mine, they tell me, there is no support whatsoever for the beta units and that's why our Svce Tags do not appear anywhere but on our devices. They will not support them, and thus, the updates that were going out would never have reached our devices. This seems strange to me since a few months ago I did get an OTA that left the device on 1.6, but beyond that, <insert overly exaggerated shrug here> This information tells me that the only way we'll get the updates is by manually installing them ourselves. Considering the trash that Dell has put us with (the 2.1 farce in the UK, and now the 2.2 slap in the face recently) this is no surprise to me. I'm grateful that I didn't have to pay for this device, as I would be trying to organize a class action suit right about now... so I guess the soul searching begins. I like the phone... but now I hate Dell... I'll probably sell my laptop too. Do I stick it out with this streak, or do I go get something else with Froyo on it?
[Streak 5 General] chrisrotolo:
stick it out, bud, this is a nice peice of equipment, forget Dell, thats what XDA is here for. Not too long I'm sure we will se some dual core devices, until then I say go with the streak, or sell it for a decent price
[Streak 5 General] shEEEsh:
Mine Streak is also a Beta unit but when I checked for an update it was there .. I downloaded it and installed it .. I am surprised it didn't work that way for you. Now I am only 99.99999% sure it is a beta unit .. whatever it is, I use Tmobile with it.
[Streak 5 General] Bizzach:
Yeah, I hate the way Dell has handled just about every aspect of handling the Streak.

But didn't they say that Beta Streaks (on 1.6) would get this 2.2 update first? Is there anyone still on 1.6 that actually GOT the update?

I'm using a Beta unit, and it's still working just fine. I wouldn't say that they considered them to be "throw away" devices, because from everything I've read (I've been following the Streak for more than a year now), they're basically just early full production units. Sure, there might have been a line of code in there to make it not work with ATT, but mine's on TMO and I couldn't be happier. (Well, except it'd be nice to have 3G bands lol!)

ShEEsh.... get a text editor from the market and go into your system>build.prop file using a Root Explorer... there's a line that I found in mine in that file that says "ro.build.CONFIG_HW_AUSTIN=1"... I take that Austin line to mean that this is the Beta hardware (because I KNOW mine is a Beta lol).... if yours says that, it's a beta. If it has =0, I'll bet it's an ATT unit....
[Streak 5 General] shEEEsh:
I did get the update first and it installed fine.
[Streak 5 General] Troute:
So let me get this right... You've got a FREE Dell Streak which is a BETA unit that you didn't pay for, that still works fine even though Dell had intended that it would have a short life span - and you're *****ing because they won't offer support on it?

I've got just two words for you m8

Grow up!
[Streak 5 General] epi117:
Lol i have to agree..free unit,
[Streak 5 General] BrokenPixel:
I think you should leave the streak alone and jump into another device and that should be an iPhone 4. first the dell you got free is crap because can't be use with ATT.

second, it might never work with ATT , and that sucks cause you wanna use your free beta device there. third this thing has no warranty? so if you break your FREE device then they have to repair it for free too? damn that sounds like a hell of a deal. So if you have signed the paper on that marathon/race and read carefullly you will see that it clearly stated that the device is for 30 day testing, now you want to sue them because you want to use the device on ATT after the 30 day trial and aren't getting any support? I don't understand why the crying? don't want to be an a**hole but I don't get the point. this is like reading a review in newegg saying oh the package was very bad wrapped and when it got here it had 2 dins on each side of the package, and it has written "i'm kinky" all over the place so go ahead and mark 1 star just because of that, and has nothing to do with the actual device.

I currently own a BETA device I did pay for it and I won't be getting any warranty, am I crying about it? no, am I happy? can't be more happy to pay for this. So far my internal SD has given up had to buy one, no biggie, i have a bad USB cable, I haven't cry yet. still have my dignity and my upgraded streak on a working condition. Can't be anymore happier than what I am at the moment. Almost bought a samsung captivate and I'm glad I didn't.

Don't want to be mean but is just how I think that some of you just want the whole world in your feet without doing anyithing.

And the most important on these devices is not the warranty (that is third for me) it is the COMMUNITY, the community makes the device worth having.
[Streak 5 General] shEEEsh:
You don't need Dell support .. their support is HORRIBLE .. Nobody knows what the person in the next cube knows... You can call 3 times, same question and get 3 different answers. The ONLY THING the beta user is lacking is warranty. But most people have voided their warranty over and over again ..

I traded my PAID FOR Dell Streak that was locked to ATT to someone with a Beta, that was locked OUT OF ATT .. Got my update before anyone else .. I am happy!! but still .. Dell does suck. I wouldn't buy from them again .. [unless they had a Streak, problems solved, that connects to Tmobile 4G ..

ALSO .. when I got a call from Dell last week saying "UNLOCKED Tmobile available now." I asked "is that with 3G or rather Tmobiles 4G .." There is not ANYONE there that can answer that question .. Shouldn't they know if they are calling YOU to purchase???
[Streak 5 General] p51d007:
Couldn't agree more, sadly, that is the world we live in now.

Everyone wants everything GIVEN to them, and if not, they sue.

I use to kludge, hack stuff back in the DOS days...if it didn't work, oh well...wasn't suppose to anyway, but, when it did, it was a since of accomplishment & pride!

Now, if something doesn't go exactly the way someone wants it to, they get all bent out of shape.

Am I happy the 2.2 update hasn't hit my non contract bought directly from Dell streak? Nope...would I like the 2.2 update...yep, but, considering I came from a windows mobile 6.5 and earlier phone(s), that had to be tweaked out of the box just to get the #*$*! thing to run, I'm happy with 1.6.

We live in an "instant" world....24/7 internet, 24/7 news, 24/7 everything, and I for one think it has made us WORSE, not better....we have no patience anymore.
[Streak 5 General] Troute:
I'd expect TMobile to know if they were caling you since it's their network, but maybe not Dell. Do you know what band TMobile are using for their 4g service? if it doesn't match with what is on the Streak then it has no chance of working.
[Streak 5 General] Lord60:
ok to all the cool people that actually read my post and got the gist of what it was saying, thanks for the advice and good words. To all the jerks like this dude, man, ease up.

For starters, I was information gathering. I called to find out why my svce tag wasn't showing up. my details of the events was called information SHARING... especially to other beta owners... hence the attn beta title...

now with that being said, the last thing was

IF

I had bought it I might be trying to organize a class action suit. It's a good device, but Dell is on the brink of ruining it with the crappy update and even crappier support to everyone not just me.

So, ok I'll grow up, if you, with obviously nothing better to do, will try to get a life...
[Android Apps and Games] LuvinAndroid:
Hi Everyone,

Using the SkeletonApp default code, how would I insert a void or whatever (sorry not knowing the terminology yet) that would run each cycle of the program like a counter or something?

Just keep it simple, just a "run this always" loop while maintaining the button functions would be great.

thanks and hope you all had a happy thanksgiving :)
[Android Apps and Games] LuvinAndroid:
So I added this and it does not work, how in the world do I get a counter working ?

Please, Please someone point me in the right direction? :(

All I want it to do (in the default SkellyApp) is count to 30, then end the proggy. And yes, I did make the mytimer a variable at the top of my proggy.

public int mytimer;

-------- stuff ---------

@Override

public void onResume() {

mytimer = (mytimer + 1);

if (mytimer == 30) finish();

super.onResume();

}

thank you in advance for taking the time to look, and HOPEFULLY answer this for me.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nwsk:
Did you flash jm1 through odin or something? If you flash an unofficial firmware, that's what kies will tell you. If you want to be able to use kies to upgrade, you probably need to flash back to a stock firmware

no i havent the phone was stock but i mange to do it ..kies needed upgrade , now i need to sort out the other problems. ty for your reply
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foreign_legion:
Hello everyone, this problem happened randomly yesterday. So the power button doesn't work at all when it worked fine before, and the LED charging light is now always green and always on. Also, when I remove the battery and put it back in, the phone automatically turns on! So, does anyone know what the heck is going on here? I don't think it's a ROM problem since i've been using my current ROM for the longest time (Kang-o-rama with CM6). If anyone has any clue or hints, please share! I'd like my N1 to work again :) Thanks!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravufo:
That is definitely your power button that died on you...I've read you can turn the phone on by charging and taking out the battery then putting it back, I guess it works for you.

Maybe you could try another ROM/kernel to see if the battery led issue gets fixed...can you turn the screen off with the power button or what?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foreign_legion:
Nope, I can't use the power button at all. Can't turn off the screen, haha, so I have to wait until it times out.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravufo:
Well then, there's your problem ;)

I highly suggest you use a sleep widget for the sake of your battery :D and you probably are using trackball wake anyways I guess ^^
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foreign_legion:
sigh, all right. so what do you think i can do to at least get rid of the constant green light?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foreign_legion:
Actually, I can't find that sleep widget you were talking about. Can you show me one on the market or somewhere? Thanks!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hollow.Droid:
I use one called Lockscreenwidget. You can find a version that has simply changed the icon here: Link. I changed the icon to suit my own purposes (You can see in the screen shot thread) but if you'd like one made using your own icon gimme a buzz, it's easy enough to change.

To port it for 32A devices with the new radio, you could try flashing it and then flashing a kernel made to work with Espresso and the Magic - like the one from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=825551 - and see where it crashes :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrisperNeO:
Hi guys,

I'm running on LeeDroid 2.2f. Everything works just fine but I have some problem with usb connection.

As I connected my desire with computer through usb, even when I choose charge only, the device will be connected as a disk; after I change to HTC sync, if I wanna sync somehing, the connection will be automatically changed back to usb disk, if I disable usb, the phone will hang there or be dead.

Recently I found that even if I charge it in car, the device will also think a usb connection has been established! So I cannot use anything that has something to do with SD card, e.g. navigation. That's really annoying...

Regardless of whether I enable usb debug, the problem remains.

Can somebody tell me how to deal with it?

Thanks a lot!

Charlie
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
First why make a new thread about this and not post in the Leedroid thread and second this shouldn't have to be posted anyways since it's been mentioned like every other day and has a page on the wiki.

It's Winamp or someting similar which causes the auto-mount.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrisperNeO:
Hi,

Well please don't be so harsh to the people who doesn't think it's a problem with LeeDroid and who doesn't know it's a problem with usb auto mount and searched for some other keywords.

But really thanks a lot coz it's actually related to Winamp. I disabled the auto mount, it's now working fantastically.

Cheers

[G Tablet General] h4x0rjdag:
Is the main USB port active or any good uses for it yet
[G Tablet General] rushless:
USB thumbdrives appear to be the only thing that works and are not hot-swappable (must reboot to see it). On some very rare occasions the thumbdrive will be seen without a reboot, but the ratio is about 1/20 times (yes I tested this).

USB host function and bluetooth input connectivity are very poor on the stock based FW.
[G Tablet General] switt:
wireless kb/mouse work fine in cm b4
[G Tablet General] liquidcaffeine:
I've gotten a wireless and wired keyboard to work, but never a mouse.
[G Tablet General] h4x0rjdag:
your sig says you're on TnTlite. you got the external keyboards working on that or a different FW ?
[G Tablet General] liquidcaffeine:
Both stock and TnT Lite worked with the keyboards. I've tried USB wired and USB wireless; keyboards work, but no love for a mouse. Haven't tried Bluetooth
[G Tablet General] rushless:
Few questions please:

1. Are you using TnT Lite 2.0?

2. This device really has USB wireless drivers and control chip, or do you mean bluetooth?

3. How can you get a wireless or manual keyvboard to read when the options will not allow anything but the default keyboard? This is the (or a) reason Wiimote and other input devices will not work.

4. What keyboards for USB and wireless?

I could not get the device with TnT 2.0 to see anything via USB except thumb drives and absolutely nothing is seen via bluetooth as far as input devices. Part of the problem is the same process for hotswap (that does not work) is also part of the polling process for hardware to be seen and read. Gtablet apparently does not look for devices except at start-up.

Thanks
[G Tablet General] h4x0rjdag:
any extra steps needed other than plugging it into the usb port....?

what model keyboards were they?
[G Tablet General] omnia38:
I have found that it is also good for charging my phone. Seems to work whether the screen is on or off.
[G Tablet General] case-sensitive:
I just plugged my generic wired keyboard into the USB port -- first times after the g-tablet was booted up, the second time before it was booted up -- both times the keyboard works just fine. To enter type I simply tap on the text input box and start typing on the real keyboard. If you tap on the textbox you will bring up the on-screen keyboard; that does not interfere with the real keyboard. Alternatively, you can touch the "return" button which will remove the on-screen keyboard, at which point you can then start typing with the real keyboard without the on-screen one, the one exception being the default brower (the on-screen keyboard reappears as soon as I start typing).

Right now I'm on TnT Lite 2.0, but the USB keyboard worked when I was still on stock (pre-update).

As for USB flash drive: I just plug mine into the already booted-up g-tablet, and I am able to access all the files -- I can view the pdf and listen to mp3 etc (this is definitely not true with stock TnT).

NOTE: ESfile explorer do NOT see the files on the USB drive the moment I plug the drive it. So I back out to the home screen, hit ESfile explorer again, and wa la, the files are there. I guess it takes a few seconds to scan the drive (understandable...)

I just rebooted the g-tablet and then plug in the USB drive, and it still works! This time I waited 5 seconds before firing up the ESfile explorer and the files are there.

I have no luck using a wired mouse with the g-table
[G Tablet General] insight3fl:
I have used BT keyboard with Bluetooth keyboard app, but as has been confirmed, BT mouse does not work with bluetooth apps or dirctly. The BT program was problematic, but a generic belkin bt dongle works with the wireless keyboard just by pushing the pairing button on the dongle and then just hitting some random keys on the keyboard while it is in discover mode. After that, you just begin typing.
[G Tablet General] h4x0rjdag:
omg wooooooo quake 3 with keyboard hahaha this is a riot
[G Tablet General] mhart032:
Whatformat does the drive have to be in for the USB to read it. Also im running latest version tnt lite and the device seems to hang alot. I have a task mgr and fequetly close apps and it helps some. Any ideas? Seems alot of stuff starts up when you boot. Is there a way to stop that?

thanks Matt
[G Tablet General] mhart032:
Also my Microsoft bt kb and and mouse work fine on this device. Haven't tested the bt pocket kb for my old dell axim yet. Needs batteries.

[G Tablet General] liquidcaffeine:
I'm using TnT lite 2.02. I've tried a standard USB keyboard and it works fine. Takes just a few moments for detection, but afterwards tapping into any edit box allows for input via the keyboard. For wireless, I've tried several RF wireless combo units. These, from Microsoft, Logitech and a few others, have a USB transiever (sp?) That works with the keyboard, but I haven't had any luck with a mouse.

My unit seems to play nicely win USB flash drives as well, including being hot swapable friendly. I've not had to reboot just for detection of a flash drive.

They only Bluetooth device I've tried is a pair of Motorola S9 stereo headphones, which worked just as well as they do with my iPhone.
[G Tablet General] rushless:
Is your device newer? As in last week or two (mine is one of the first 1,000)? No luck with mine to the point I returned it yesterday, a few days before too late to return it. I tried everything I could think of with no luck.

What was the keyboard model & number? Zero luck with bluetooth as well, for any input device I tried. Using the same FW as you are.
[G Tablet General] switt:
I use my lenovo htpc kb/mouse. http://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-Multimedia-Remote-with-Keyboard/dp/B0036VO67I

As soon as I plug it in it works. A mouse cursor pops up when it detects the slightest movement of the trackball.

Again, this is wireless not BT on CM B4.
[G Tablet General] rushless:
Sorry, I am referring to TnT based FW. With CM you lose either the internal or external microsd (one or the other).

Of course CM works, since no lame TnT OEM devs to screw things up that should not be messed with in the first place ;)

If CM ever works with all storage, it will be a nice option :)

People report success with TnT 2.0, but not seeing any specifics as to how and what they are using. Nothing worked for me using TnT 2.0.
[G Tablet General] Talk2Rider:
I have used a thumbdrive with good results. I usually put the tablet to sleep while swapping the usb drive in or out. This accomplishes two things...one, it keeps the tablet from spontaneously rebooting (which happened to me once while pulling out the thumb drive) and two, it ensures that the tablet sees the the usb drive. The tablet seems to scan for drives when it wakes up.
[G Tablet General] switt:
On my tab with CM B4 \sdcard is my 8gb micro sd (external card) and \emmc is the onboard 16gb of space. It still doesn't go into usb storage mode when plugged into a PC but you can adb in or go to CW and mount usb. I'm pretty sure Bekit integrated the fixes that came down with the TnT update, not to mention more that we found. Huge thanks to him for all his hard work and quick updates.
[G Tablet General] rushless:
So you do see the storage now, but just can not mount to it in storage mode? Alllllmosst there :)
[G Tablet General] case-sensitive:
I explained what I did in post #10 of this thread to get wired keyboard & USB flash drive working in TnT Lite 2.0.

In short: just plug in it. :-)
[G Tablet General] liquidcaffeine:
My device is a little over a week old, purchased from Staples. It did have the gray cleaning cloth rather than the "newer" green ones. For the Keyboards, I've used:

- an IOGear wireless (RF/USB dongle) with a built in trackball - keyboard works, no go with tb

- a Dell USB keyboard - works

- a Microsoft comfort ergo wireless keyboard combo - no mouse supported

- a Logitec E1000 wireless combo - keyboard works, nothing on the mouse

- USB mouse - no go although laser does light up on mouse

This is on TnT Lite 2.0.2
