[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oblivior72:
I'm a developer and I want to develop my first official market app. I've developed a couple of applications but just for personal use and experience. I have gathered a group of very talented developers and we are onto something big.

What would be an app that you would like to see developed? The app (or apps) with the most popular demand will get started on immediately.

We've been considering a couple of ideas. Anyone down for Airplay for android? tun tun tuuuuun..or maybe not. Maybe a crazy cross platform game?

We are open to suggestions.

Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
This is an easy one

Develop and apk that fully integrates your Contacts with your Calendar. So if I want to schedule an appointment with John I just go to is contact record and select "make appointment". It then creates a link between John and the Calendar for that appointment. So if you are looking at the appointment you can easily call John, navigate to using address or add notes to his record.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oblivior72:
Thats not a bad idea. I understand where you are coming from. It would actually come in handy. It would have to be an extension to the original android operating system. Unless I were to make an entire new contact app that would integrate these features easily.

Towards the end you say "..looking at the appointment you can easily..."

do you want to be able to just click his address from the calendar and open up navigator?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phajen:
I'm too lazy to pick up the books and relearn what all I need to know, but, I've had this idea tossing around in my head for awhile.

Make an app to basically create a data set and determine your battery estimated maH, and if you need to recallibrate it. Once you have all that data, there are tons of things you can do with it as well, its just a matter of making the program light weight enough to run in the background so it doesn't re-do calculations and eat up juice.

How about a torrent app? Utorrent?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xoreactionzox:
here you go look read this one >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

you make this app AND ILL SCRATCH UR BUTT AND CALL U DADDY LOL

make a app that prints me real 100 dollar bills lol jk
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
The concept is so that you can create an appointment for a contact in your calendar that is linked between the contact and the calendar.

For instance, when I make an appointment with Joe, Joe's information such as his phone number and address are instantly accessible from the calendar. That way if I need navigation to Joe's address I can access it directly from the appointment without having to manually type it into the calendar program.

These links could also easily allow me to say "show me all appointments for Joe". Or if I am on way to Joe's and running late I can call or text Joe from the appointment record instead of having to look it up.

The idea is to automate and reduce duplication of effort. Never type the same information twice - link to it instead. There is an app called "Contact Event" that comes close to doing this the but it doesn't actually create a link, it just pastes contact data automatically into the calendar record when creating it. The difference would be the link which would make it a relational database concept as opposed to just cut and paste.

When creating a new contact your app should also generate a Primary Key that uniquely identifies that contact. Then when you make an appointment for that contact, you simply drop their Primary Key into the appointment record, link the two tables and you are done.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neckface:
An app that lets you add on to the existing code to your liking.

Or a series of apps, a basic twitter client, a home launcher, a clock widget. Something easy we could build on *from the phone* without the use of Eclipse. If that's at all possible.

We now have Stericson's Signapktic app that allows us to sign zips, apks, and jar file from our phone so we're slowly getting closer to something like that.

Stericson's apps are pretty awesome. :p

Number field in the form requires o2 number.

Can somebody help?

Sorry for my english

This is great news i will do that tonight when i get home
[Streak 5 General] ThrashWolf:
Sent a request off. Fingers crossed!
[Streak 5 General] twe69:
Yeh thats me! Not sure if its free after all, need to wait for my account to update [3 day wait], am on Vodafone though rather than O2. Still even if its £15 still cheaper than any other option out there....
[Streak 5 General] Megacamz:
this makes no sense to me. I paid £400 for my streak on pay as you go with 02. I'm with T-mobile... so how do I enter my 02 number etc? I dont have one :-(

I don't either, used my Vodafone contract number.

[Streak 5 General] royalmail:
i made the same request. but i don't keep too much hope.

because when i was filling the form online. the live chat support from o2 get involved.

then i start telling them the story.

the reply was : we can't unlatch the Dell Streak as it's not permitted by Dell.

which I don't think it's true!
[Streak 5 General] checkbox111:
Yeh!!!

I'm sorry I'm unable to give you unlocking code for your Dell Streak

phone.

We're currently not unlocking Dell Streak phones.

For further information and latest updates on this, I'd request you to

keep checking our website.

If you've a Tesco number, I'd request you to contact Tesco Mobile at

support@tescomobile.com for further help.

[Streak 5 General] twe69:
Hmmm guess I got lucky then, I posted my replies at the modaco thread.
[Streak 5 General] ThrashWolf:
How long did it take for you guys to get a reply?

I sent an email off requesting an unlock, and stated that when I requested one first time around and was denied, it was because the Streak was exclusive to O2, but now that I can buy a streak from Tesco, it was no longer exclusive.

I'm wondering if perhaps the somewhat lengthy time it's taking to reply means they've asked Dell for my unlock code...
[Streak 5 General] checkbox111:
About a day, ask your self this; why would o2 unlock for free? (or at all for that matter).

The only reason you're asking them is because you can then say goodbye and to then use a competitor! one thing that mobile phone companies don't like it's losing income. So i very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very much doubt that they're doing it all, do you????????!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Streak 5 General] Philip:
I filled in the form early Thursday morning (Dec 2nd). Got an immediate auto reply saying that they'd get back to me within 24 hours. It's now Sunday afternoon and no response yet.

I'm not overly hopeful of getting an unlock code, but it was worth a try.
[Streak 5 General] Azamatka:
I'm thinking really seriously of contacting Tesco Mobile with exactly the same inquiry. If they are a part of o2 network, they should share the same unlock database for Streaks. The big hope is that they're not as stupid and dull as o2...
[Streak 5 General] ThrashWolf:
I suspect it will cost £15, and here's why;

I frequently travel abroad. While abroad I can't use a native SIM with my streak, because it's locked to O2. As it stands, my streak is on a 2 year contract. O2 can either provide quality service and let me use my streak in other countries, get the money for the unlock, and have me tell my friends about what a great company they were for doing so, or I can pay Rebelsim, jump ship to a different operator when my contract is up, and encourage my friends to buy a streak directly from Dell.

That's why.
[Streak 5 General] checkbox111:
Why don't you email them with this blackmail and see what response you get :rolleyes: They'll either give you an unlock code or send round a solicitor :)
[Streak 5 General] ThrashWolf:
:P

I might do if I get back a negative response!
[Streak 5 General] fix4u:
I sent O2 at least 5 e-mails and talk to their online help, no luck. They keep saying can't unlock my dell streak. I got very angry with them now. Anyone know where else can find the unlock code? I know someone post a youtube video to show a software call "streak unlock code generator v1.0" can generate a unlock code, but I couldn't find that software to download, can anyone got it?

Help.
[Streak 5 General] Philip:
Will Dell provide an unlock code for an O2-locked Streak?

OK - after chasing them and after a couple of emails back and forth, this is the response that I got from O2:

Question: has anybody here tried asking Dell for an unlock code for an O2-locked Streak?
[Streak 5 General] Megacamz:
I contacted Dell after receiving a similar email from 02...

Hello Cameron

I'm sorry but Dell hasn't given us the right to unlock the phone.

For further details please speak to them as there is nothing that we

could do.

If you need anything else, email me or visit our online Help centre at:

And Dell told me that they cannot unlock it either as its up to 02 to do so.

Both sides we deal with are full of ****. They don't have a clue and fob us off to save them having to do any real work except being polite to us in the process.
[Streak 5 General] checkbox111:
Why would they do it?

Why should they do it?

If you were running a company and a former customer phoned/emailed you and said, 'dear sir, i don't want to use your company any more, can you give me the address of a competitor', what would you say? :rolleyes:
[Streak 5 General] zero.fx:
I walked into a o2 store and asked i want to have my streak unlocked, then they made a phone called and passed me to this person from o2. They took some details and said my phone will be unlocked with in 7 working day with no charge. I am waiting for my code eagerly now
[Streak 5 General] stoney73:
Have you heard anything yet?
[Streak 5 General] ThrashWolf:
I haven't heard anything from O2 since I used their online contact form. I've found there's a specific handset unlock form, so I just filled that out. Looks like I'll need to wait a while (again).
[Streak 5 General] ThrashWolf:
YOU BEAUTY!!!

It took them just over two weeks to get back to me, but that's my streak unlocked at no cost to me. Yee-hah!
[Streak 5 General] DMax99:
GUESS WHAT GUYS???!!!!

I decided to send a follow up email to O2.

AND GUESS WHAT??!!! THEY SENT ME THE UNLOCK CODE ABOUT 38 MINS AGO!!!!!!!! YEAH!!!

Surprisingly, it was not SAGAR that sent me the code but was another person called "Yogesh"

So keep it up guys just keep following up with them and you will get your code too :)

Now I don't know what I am going to do with my rebel-sim. Maybe I will sell it :p
[Streak 5 General] checkbox111:
Yeah, just got the same. :)
[Streak 5 General] Philip:
I got mine this morning as well (from Sagar), and lots of people reporting the same over on MoDaCo.
[Streak 5 General] zero.fx:
Yes, after a months wait. They have finally sent me the unlock code with simple instructions.

Stick a non-O2 sim card in then enter the code they sent me via email.

It was very easy and I am very glad they did this and surprised too.
[Streak 5 General] stoney73:
received my code an hour ago:) yippee.
[Streak 5 General] Edrill:
Yeah, seems like they are now unlocking Streaks for everyone for free, irrespective of whether or not you're an O2 customer! Just got my unlock code a little while ago!! :D
[Streak 5 General] matt_lincoln:

[Streak 5 General] nightworker-nn11:

Got mine aswell,

I was way suprised I have to say, Nice way to start the New Year O2 :)

Now if you could only cut my line rental by half but keep the terms the same... lol
[Streak 5 General] checkbox111:
I didn't get mine so i could update anything, i just got it so when i sell it it's worth something (i will update the day before sale).

I will sell it after i see the Streak 7 or if that's not so good i'll wait for the Motorola Xoom
[Streak 5 General] YustArturs:
Maybe someone can help and tell me exactly how to get the Unlock code? I live in another country, but now I've moved to UK and hard to understand how to do this here.

Thanks
[Streak 5 General] hyellow:
I also received the unlocked. However, inserting a non o2 simcard does not bring up the 'enter the unlocked' screen. Instead, it just says that the device network locked. Froyo is already loaded onto it, does that matter? Have they forget to include the unlock screen?

Any suggestions?
[Streak 5 General] DMax99:
hi,

it's very easy, just email O2 (mycarewebform@o2mail.co.uk) and ask them to unlatch your phone. be polite and persistent and you should get the code too :)
[Streak 5 General] Edrill:
That's strange. When it shows you that screen, it usually gives you an option to enter the unlock code. What is the LCD density you're using? It could be that you may have set it too high and the portion where it gives you the option to enter the unlock code is not being displayed on the screen.

You could also try rebooting it once again and checking.
[Streak 5 General] RavenY2K3:
The phone wasn't in airplane mode was it? Have you tried to call a contact to see if it initiates the unlock screen to display?
[Streak 5 General] Megacamz:
I have been nothing but nice with 02, I have spend hours emailing/phoning 02/phoning Dell etc

I got Dell to contact 02 for me, I got Dell to email me saying it was ok for 02 to unlock my phone (because and 02 rep told me Dell wasn't allowing it).

I've sent countless emails and in the last email I was told that it was the same as the iPhone in terms of exclusivity.

Now people are saying 02 gave them unlock codes? can you please provide me with the email that they sent you saying this? so I can provide it as evidence when 02 email me saying no again?
[Streak 5 General] Edrill:
mycarewebform@o2mail.co.uk

Mail them at the above address saying that you need the unlock code for your Streak. Earlier, it would take a few emails till you reached Sagar, who was the only guy there that was providing the unlock codes. But over the last day or two, people have started receiving their codes from other service reps as well, so you may possibly get lucky with your first email itself! Be sure to mention the IMEI number of your Streak as well.
[Streak 5 General] fabiobil:
I just send a unlock request by form on their website yesterday @ 2pm, today "Sunday" @ 3pm I got an email from them.

Hi A*******a,

Thank you for your request.

The code you require is as follows;

02108***

To manually unlatch a Streak,

insert a non-O2 SIM card

the device will prompt a message asking for unlatch code.

enter the unlock code provided

Kind Regards

Works great

Finally !!!
[Streak 5 General] kellglo:
Noob here, but what good will it do to get unlocked? ANd where do you come by a non-O2 sim card?
[Streak 5 General] RavenY2K3:
By going to a mobile provider that's.... Not O2?

Come on, you can't really ask a question like that and not get sarky answer back Lol?

Unlock is for those who wish to use there provider locked device on another network, for myself, this is Vodafone. I do not use O2, I bought the Streak and used something calles a Rebel SIM to get around the lock, this is no longer needed.
[Streak 5 General] vn33:
O2 cannot provide unlock code for Rogers Dell Streak

I sent an email with my Rogers Dell Streak's IMEI to O2 and got a reply back, saying my IMEI is invalid, and instructions (*#06#) to obtain it. I played dumb, and re-sent the IMEI in again and got this reply:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi xxxxxx,

Thank you for your email.

We have been informed by the manufacturer of this device that the IMEI in question does not belong to an O2 device. We are therefore unable to provide a code at this time

Kind Regards

Ah well, it was a shot in the dark ... worth the "Duh" I may get !!! :)

Hey I too hve a dell streak locked with o2. But I being in India is not an o2 customer, when I mailed o2, sagar replied to my mail saying that unlock codes are provided to o2 customers. I dnt knw why he is saying no yo me only.. But can anybody help me in any way?? It wuld be gr8 4 me...
[Streak 5 General] boiboi_67:
So your dell streak is lock to o2...if thats tje case then email o2 again stating you like to unlock the dell streak, with your imei number on the email aswel and if if your on contract or not. Don't state where you are from.

I'm in the UK so don't know if this will help you. I got mine in a few hours.
[Streak 5 General] abhinav919:
Hey can you do that for me? I'll tell you my imei.. I am sure they wont say no to u..
[Streak 5 General] boiboi_67:
Im sure you can do it! With a different email or something
[Streak 5 General] Edrill:
No need to tell them that you're not an O2 customer, etc, etc. Just mail them stating that you're abroad and need to use your Streak there and don't want to incur the huge roaming charges, hence can they unlock it. They'll do it. If you directly state that you're not an O2 customer, they probably won't bother.
[Streak 5 General] livingincm:
Hmm.. i emailed them this

Hi,

I was actually recommended by my friends to mail here to request for the unlock code as i was going to travel abroad for a couple of months. As my friend has explained to me, apparently the set that i bought from o2 will request for a code if i were to use the phone on another network. Therefore, i would require the code to unlock my set as i will be travelling to Singapore in a couple more days (1/26 to be exact). Your prompt reply is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

With regards,

Hi,

My IMEI is xxx for your perusal and information. Thank you!

Reply say that you're already out of the country and don't have an O2 SIM with you right now. Keep at it, until you finally get hold of someone who will give you the code. It seems like half their CS team gives out the codes and the other half don't!

I'm going to say it won't come out at all as the minor issues with it will cause VZW to reject it until those issues are fixed, and at that point, they will decide to just incorporate the positives from DJ05 into the Froyo.
