Sounds like a stuck pixel. There are many screen test apps in the market, pick one and see how it runs
[G2 and Desire Z General] lew1s:
Yes, i tried some apps but it didnt solve the problem. Is there some app that can fix the bad pixel?
[G2 and Desire Z General] stian230:
Have you try jscreenfix on the marked
[G2 and Desire Z General] lew1s:
Yes i ran jscreenfix for about 30 minutes on charging. I will try now again without charging . I hope will be ok, because i found one more stuck pixel. I using this phone one week and ive got 2 stuck pixels.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Lennyuk:
sounds like you will need to send it back under warranty, it happens sometimes its just bad luck when it does.

Yes, i went to store and they give me a new one straight away. Now everything is ok. I am happy

farking Old news mate

If you do the http://mobileupdate.dell.com/?version=gausb1a111100 you end up with downloading and installing the 315_12332_00.pkg

Looking for feedback on anybody on 111100 that is getting the update now, please let me know - stephenjatdell

from what I can see its binary identical to the last file! :eek:

OMG, makes me want to debrand this device and any trace of the Dell Logo.

:rolleyes:
[Streak 5 General] fards:
It's the same file..

Dell are displaying the arrogance they are famous for... After thinking we were making some headway with them!

Having had quite a lot of reports that this builds was buggy, they decided to roll it out again, "too make sure"

If you are unlucky enough to flash it then please complain to dell that you don't want their buggy software, obviously those of us who have highlighted bugs already don't matter...

Very very poor dell. Very very poor..
[Streak 5 General] da_jojo:
mm i had downloaded the file from phone version gausb1a110100 and it is the same 315_12332_00.pkg . downloaded also same version today from 111100 link. this version i had was 150mb vs this version i downloaded by official link 153mb . now i dont know if it was a bad download or anything. it wouldnt install and i needed to go so i set it to download over mobile internet (took half hour.. not that bad) and it asked if i wanted to open the file with gameboy emulator or nes emulator or this upgrade to something.. i choose this one lol.. the install started and i was busy so i didnt look what it did. half an hour later i needed to call someone and it showed 2.2 new interface , i was happy. finally hsdpa internet. so i put back the backup , only to discover my mobile internet was gone :s

so after a full reset to factory (turn off phone , press both volume buttons and then power until it starts then let go of power button and wait till you see a dos like menu and choose factory reset) it worked again. i tried camera and front cam works.. streak led works also and turns on the led next to the camera on the rear and not some white screen.

but this stage widgets.. they take up to much screen.

had no browser redirects. i had however noticed in my router this streak shows up as android_somecode and it has both ip from mobile internet and ip from my router.. maybe this is related to the browser redirect errors.
[Streak 5 General] fards:
gausb1a110100 gives 309_0_00

gausb1a111100 gives 315_12332_00

both are same size as files from last week, both have same m5sums as the versions from last week
[Streak 5 General] da_jojo:
yup that is correct

but this time i got for my gausb1a111100 this file : Streak_315_12332_00.pkg

nevertheless it seems ur right as it ends up in the same oem version.

but which is the faulty version then ? the 309 or 315 . looking at these numbers i'd say that 315 is an increment thus newer version of the baseband radio and 12332 is the android build nr. so if one installs the wrong version one ends up in wrong baseband and thus have this redirects and such. as the update doesnt install newer version but patches the original files. (correct me if im wrong)
[Streak 5 General] fards:
yeah that was my typo..

the 12332 is identical from the version from last week..

it does have the server redirect issues for most people.

can you login (properly login) to mail.google.com
[Streak 5 General] da_jojo:
isnt there a built-in mail client for that ?

i'll give it a try .. gimme a minute :)
[Streak 5 General] da_jojo:
secure connection could not be established .. thats what i get when login to mail.google.com
[Streak 5 General] fards:
yup.. so it is the same build..

that's one of the bugs, it can't swap from insecure to secure sites, as well as the server redirects, and identification and misdirection.

for example in the uk its impossible to go to http://www.bbc.co.uk/mobile/iplayer

plus a lot of m. websites dont work
[Streak 5 General] da_jojo:
yeah indeed. this sucks :(

my flash9 based asp tv-streamer webpage player works :D

it uses secure login which is about the same as google uses , so that cant be the problem. it is a certificate error is my guess.

have you tried to turn browser to android mode ? maybe that way this mobile sites work better.

[Android Software Development] kenny_33:
Hello,

I was on windows mobile, and I used a basic function which can hide my callerID to all numbers out of my contact list, very usefull to show me to all my contacts and not my customers.

I searched on the phone such an option but nothing, so I don't worry I go to the Market thinking a very simple function must exist there, but nothing...

I open my computer search about it and see a message that someone try this but can't find function in the SDK for the caller ID ?

Is there a way to do it (even if i have to do the app but I don't want to lose many hours to understand android coding if it's simply impossible !)

Thanks a lot if you have an idea on the question.
[Android Software Development] luckytommy:
Hi!

On gsm networks you can add #31# at the beginning of the phone number to hide caller ID. In US use *67 (untested).

See http://www.arcx.com/sites/GsmFeatures.htm

[Android Software Development] jaqubek:
I`m looking for the same thing. One simple application that can hide my ID by pressing one button.

I`ve looked everywhere.Googled,searched Market and nothing. All apps are for US users. Prefix #31# or 141 doesnt work in UK. At least in O2 UK. Dont know about others.

So PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE anyone who know anything about Android apps to make something that might help. I`m tired of going to settings and hiding my ID everytime i want to speak with my customers
[Android Software Development] killersnowman:
I am using cm7 and in the call settings there is a setting for caller id. You can have it be private public or network determined.

I do agree that it would be a great app to have your id hidden to people outside of your address book. I think it would have to be an alternative dialer though

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] daniel.weck:
JM6 update: remove DMService "Software Update" (and other auto-starting apps)

I don't remember seeing this background service in JK5, so I removed it (I think it's for OTA updates, probably a carrier-specific thing that should be in the CSC). Anyway, I don't like apps like this that run with full permissions.

I first spotted it using "Advanced Task Killer" (in the "Running Services" section), and I used "AutoRun Killer" to prevent it from starting at boot time. Now I decided to just moved a few APKs out of /system/app to my SD card, although one could also use Titanium Backup's "Freeze" feature to achieve the same thing.

Here is the list of files I moved:

* syncmldm.apk/odex

* syncmlds.apk/odex

* wssomacp.apk/odex

* wssyncmlnps.apk/odex

A related discussion thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=811567&page=2

I will report if things get unstable, but I'm pretty sure it's going to be ok.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] daniel.weck:
I went one step further by removing the background OmaDrmConfigService from /system/app:

* EDIT * DO NOT REMOVE THESE FILES ! (read on to the next post, music and video playback crashes if this service is removed)

* DrmUA.apk/odex

* SisoDrmProvider.apk/odex

I also removed com.sec.android.app.samsungapps.una:

* UNAService.apk/odex

Based on what I read on the subject, I will probably get a few Force-Close when using the Samsung media player (which requires DRM for some media types), and it seems that Quadrant fails on H264+ video decoding...never mind, I'll see how things develop over time. :p

I should point out that this is not exact science, I am just experimenting based on feedback from other users, with similar Samsung Android devices. I may well make my Tab unstable in the future. ;)

I should also explain that some self-restarting "start-at-boot" processes cannot be killed by "Autorun Killer", which is why I choose to move the APKs onto my SD card (backup...just in case). It is important to understand how "Autorun Killer" works by checking aLogCat output (apparently: 9 passes/attempts to kill the specified auto-run apps/services). For example, there's no point trying to kill unstoppable processes, as it wastes CPU cycles at boot time, and it may actually end-up generating instability in the initialization phase of the device. The "Autorun Killer" User Interface displays a list of running services, so from there you know that there is no point marking them as "disabled", because there is nothing the process killer can do about it => the solution is to uninstall the offending app.

GMail is a particularly annoying one, because I use the K9 email client in IMAP/Push mode, so I couldn't care less about GMail's Pull abilities, and I don't need it to run in the background. Maybe it handles contact synchronization, I don't know. At any rate, all of my device synchronization is configured to be run manually, I don't like automatic processes that launch arbitrarily in the background. :D

EDIT: well, I forgot to re-configure GMail notifications since I flashed JM6 (I wrongly assumed I had restored my old system settings using Titanium Backup). So hopefully this will cure it :D

As for SMS messages: I had to manually disable notifications in the "Messaging" system app, and enable them in "Handcent SMS" (which is the app I use for SMS/MMS purposes).
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] daniel.weck:
* WARNING *

My music playback was crashing consistently each time I would move to the next song. I restored these 2 files (well, 4 really) and it is now working fine.

Yep, it looks like DRM is anchored deep into the system. Yet I couldn't find any relevant crash information in the LogCat, so it is effectively near-impossible to debug properly (I just read on forums that the DRM framework seems to be a prerequisite, so I tried that).

Oh well, not a big deal after all, I don't think the DRM services eat a lot of battery.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] rotohammer:
Yes, I had to do the same.

So far JM6 seems very quick, the web browser has faster page scrolling after you give it a few minutes. I like it.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] daniel.weck:
Yeah, I quite like JM6 too. :)

With cleverly-configured DroidWall and Autorun-Killer (and a dash of AdFree for good measure), the whole experience is very smooth indeed. :D

Although the stock keyboard is improved I still much prefer the overall feature-set of SmartKeyboard Pro (and of course I've paid for it, so I might as well continue to use it ;) )

I currently use a mix of web-browsers, including the stock app, Dolphin HD, xScope and Miren. I have yet to find the perfect combination of features, and I am particularly picky with regards to text layout and zooming (I read a lot of online content). The pinch/stretch + double-tap zooming that automatically adjusts the text column width (fit-to-screen), and that centers the page properly, is *very* important in my book. I like the built-in touch gestures in Dolphin HD to quickly scroll up a long vertical page (and other navigation features), but unfortunately the pinch/stretch zoom is broken at the moment ! :(

Anyway, I digress ! :p (off-topic)

Cheers, Dan

Can someone please make a flashable zip to disable this feature in froyo ! I hate having my messages history in the call log feature ! Very annoying ! I don't know why on earth samsung thought this would be usefull!.. and they don't even give u a option to disable it and only have calls in and out show !! Smh
[Epic 4G General] bilestoad:
As you know, the app currently allows viewing by missed OR dialed OR received calls, but we can't view ONLY our incoming and outgoing calls without also seeing the logs of text messages (i.e. we can't view only our calls!).

Adding a "see all calls" option to the existing list would solve this issue by excluding the messages from the list. (Duh, Samsung!:confused:)

I'd prefer adapting the existing phone logging function to a new app because a) this would hopefully be an easier mod than creating a new app, and b) this would allow the user to continue to keep a log of messaging but not have to look at it if they don't want to.

And by the way, c) you Developers ROCK!:D
[Epic 4G General] Cobaltikus:

This new functionality is very ANNOYING!!!!

In the meantime. See if this meets your needs. Although it's not exactly what we need and someone still needs to fix this.

Instead of going to "Logs", go to "Favorites"

(Optional) Menu > Frequent first

(Optional) Menu > Grid View

UNFORTUNATELY this is only based on out-going calls.

I have chosen (via a tick in the pop up) to have the native internet browser as the default browser, but when ever I click a link the popup keeps asking which browser should be used (Opera, Skyfire or Internet).

I've checked in "manage application" and the "internet" is set as the default browser and the default buttion on the other 2 browsers is greyed out, so they are not clearly, default.

How do I remove this annoying popup so my default choice remains set ?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] yiannisthegreek:
I may be wrong on this but I believe that the reason you get that pop up asking which browser to use is because it is an integrated setting in the Stock Browser so that if you have other browsers (Skyfire, Dophin, Opera, etc) it will ask you if you want to use one of the "application" browsers as your default.

I dont think this can be changed (again I could be wrong) and I think the only way you can get rid of this pop up is to uninstall the other browsers from your system.

If I am wrong and anyone else reads this then please correct me... :)
