[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] futuristicstyles:
This is my third time losing my phone in five months. I was about to file a claim with asurion the other two times I paid right on the spot with my debit card and this times it's saying its my third time in a year and if I complete it I will lost the ERP part of my coverage. Does that mean if I ever lose my phone again I won't be able to get another? If that's so I will be very disappointed :mad:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wuclan48:
How about you stop losing phones. I'd drop you from coverage too if I were them. Three is ridiculous.

Sent from the void...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] futuristicstyles:
I'm not glad about losing my phone it's horrible to go without a phone after all the rooting of a hardware 004 with that new hboot and setting it up with all the mods that I flashed makes it really depressing and on top of that I have to pay $100 every time I just payed my bill 7 days ago which is $171 with two lines. Now I have to pay another $100 and on top of that it sounds like they are saying if I lost my phone I can't get another after they send me a new one.....How can they do that it's not like people can always prevent loosing stuff :-(
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jesziicuh:
Asurion has it limitations I mean 3 phones in 5 months ?

Sounds kinda like a scam to me but I could be wrong lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] futuristicstyles:
The ESN's go bad what can I do with a paperweight evo? I'm sure I'm not the only person who lost a phone more than two times.....On the asurion home page it says 56% percent of people lose their phone once a month....i went almost three months without losing mines :-( they are aware that people lose stuff and don't always have control over losing stuff....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] housry23:
You are only covered for 3 new phones in a 12 month period. Yes if you get a new phone, you will not be covered again until a year has passed from you first claim I do believe. I am not exactly sure how the 12 month thing works, but if you call Sprint they can explain it to you, but yeah only allowed 3 phones in one year.

Oh Yeah, ever thought about installing Lookout or some other phone locator app? It can help you recover your lost or stolen phone. If I were you I would highly consider this.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] futuristicstyles:
Man I have to guard the new one with my life it would be crazy to have to pay the full amount for the phone if I lost it again....I been trying to locate it with lookout but it wont connect to my phone and i tried calling it from different numbers but the phone is going straight to voicemail
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jesziicuh:
Actually u can do a lot with a bad esn
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cruise350:
Why the hell don't you put a program like lookout on it where you can remotely cause your phone to make a blaring siren noise so you can find it. It also has a gps feature where you can pinpoint your phones location and find it or who ever has it. There is also a remote wipe feature so that whoever finds your phone won't get your personal info. Lastly, you got to be a complete moron to loose a phone this big and this expensive.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gqstatus0685:
3 times would indicate to them that it's equipment fraud.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
I agree, the OP has NO argument here. If you lose a phone 3 times in less than 6 months, you have some problems. I would drop your coverage too if i were the insurance company. You need to learn to take care of your possesions. Insurance is supposed to be a last resort, not using it every other month.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jesziicuh:
I thought I was clumsy lol I dropped my palm pre so many times but my evo is my baby I'm not let anything hurt her lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josh995:
Dang. You need to like... I don't even know! Put a string on your phone somehow and wear it around your neck or something... it's pretty hard to lose a phone that many times!

Sent from my HTC EVO 4G.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gqstatus0685:
Are you losing your phone at bars or clubs?

I only had one phone stolen and it was back when I was in high school. I went to a concert and was dancing with some random chick. The phone was on a belt clip that clipped in my pocket. By the time I realized it was gone the random chick was too. I learned my lesson from that day forward. Never dance reggaeton with a random chick while owning an expensive phone. Oh yeah and ditch the clip.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wingzfan:
So you lose a $600 phone 3 times over a period of paying $42 for i.surance and $100 twice for replacements and you are mad at asurion? So $1800 worth of phones gone due to your irresponsibility of which youve paid $242 of and theyre the ones in the wrong?

The lack of taking responsibility here is astonishing
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snandlal:
Gq simp? ....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rejectedkid:
They will not stop giving you phones. If they do you can easily email the vice president of cs and he will forward your situation to a new dept who will take care of you no matter what. I was told by Sprint that I could not send any more heros in for repair or replacements due to the insurance limit even though the replacements they were sending me were complete garbage. I went as far as cancelling 2 lines and got no where with Sprint cs. It wasn't until I contacted the vice president of customer service and other CEOs that my situation was properly resolved promptly and correctly. So even though they say no if you birch to the right people they will say yes.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
Sprint is not the insurance company, Asurion is. And yes, they have every right to cancel the policy of someone who is abusing it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rejectedkid:
That's not what i was saying. Let me simplify my previous post. If you complain to the right department you will never be without your phone.

[Legend Android Development] brunswick000:
Just also posted a q in the general section regarding some real issues a friend of mine is having with his Legend. He lost all signals last night and this morning I tried: soft reboot, hard reboot, and factory reset. Now stuck in boot loop. Was stock 2.1 from Bell and was not rooted. Cant seem to do anything with it.

Was wondering if there are any repair tools or threads with stock ROMs floating around that I can try flashing back to the phone. Ive had a couple of android phones so im no stranger to abd, fastboot, etc... This is his only phone so if anyone could help at all it would be sincerely appreciated.

brunswick

edit.. heres the info I got in recovery mode:

HBOOT-0.43.003

RADIO-7.08.35.05
[Legend Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
Find an appropriate RUU
[Legend Android Development] marclh1992:
Get the Bell RUU and plug the phone into your computer in the fastboot screen (power + back button OR volume down)

Then run the RUU.
[Streak 5 General] lucboucim:
When you check for updates, what is the exact address - including BB - th streak is sending to the Dell web site? I know the last part of it identifies your BB and I want to send mine manually.

Thanks
[Streak 5 General] flub:
http://mobileupdate.dell.com/?version=GAUSB1A121100

Obviously thats my baseband but thats the address
[Streak 5 General] lucboucim:
Thanks this is exactly what I was looking for.
[Desire Themes and Apps] b3ndik:
Is there an app out there which will allow certain apps to use 3g?

Not 3g watchdog
[Android Themes] DjGeraldo:
I searched for this but found nothing, is their any mod or app that has a press to unlock feature? Instead of a slider, just a press to unlock. Thanks for any help in advance.
[Android Themes] earni:
i think widget locker may have that option using the hardware keys rather than on screen touch
[Android Themes] DjGeraldo:
yeah it does, im really wanting to find a on screen button. i had it on my old iphone 3g which i just cut on for the first time in over a year, and relized how nifftie it was lol

I like your icons btw :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] audino:
Hi,

is there a way or program to have a dual boot option on my i9000?

I would like to have to option to install and test roms beside my standard rom...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] niXXoz:
Hi i have uploaded the latest divers for Galaxy S.

Why do i need the drivers?

You need these drivers to use ADB and ODIN, if you don't want to install kies.

To install the drivers, just run SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe and it will guide you through the installation process.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] miro666:
Is this drivers for x86 or x64 ???

[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
ill do a video shortly yes
[Streak 5 Android Development] indo0x:
Oh my God...

Steve ur the best!
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
ok someone else can do vid i cant find charger for cam :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] offcina:
sloww

is just me, or it takes forever to download?
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
probly getting hammered lol
[Streak 5 Android Development] jeckoto:
WOW...This ROM is amazing !!! Great job Stephen...

Even with bugs I keep it ! The UI is wonderful

Now Ive got a 5" Iphone UI with Android...Welcome to paradise...:D
[Streak 5 Android Development] Freakernoid:
As alway, great job Steve, is an amazing fast rom, but i just couldn't get over the fact that i am using a iphone...lol. I am sure this rom is going to be great but its just not for me. Back me 146 i go...
[Streak 5 Android Development] tina333:
Thanks steve, im downloading now...Any screen shots at all? In terms of theme development is it classed as a miui rom?
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
yep its classes as miui its based off nexusone miui but with enough framework changes to let things work
[Streak 5 Android Development] tina333:
Awesome! Just found your post on the other thread with a link

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0STPWGMyAE&feature=youtube_gdata

So I take it, its stable enough to tweak the framework-res? Is there a way to loose the Chinese? As the baseband shows as error... can I flash via clockworkmod straight from your 1.4.6?
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
baseband error only shows if your not using the streakdroid updated amss file. and you can have a good at removing more Chinese - this ports only been workedo n for about 2 days (started screwing with it thursdayish)
[Streak 5 Android Development] tina333:
So can i flash straight from 1.4.6?
[Streak 5 Android Development] The Jack of Clubs:
neat. now lets get steve to make a streaksense rom. i like that we are making alternate ui roms, means someday we will have htc sense.
[Streak 5 Android Development] xilpaxim:
I would love the toggle options on the drag down bar and folders, but I'm also agaist the iPhone UI. Still, very cool
[Streak 5 Android Development] tina333:
Wow I'm well impressed! I dread to think what trauma it mustve caused altering this to work on streak!

Iphone comments... I had an iphone & loved how it worked, speed, ease of use and the UI but I don't like apple. The iphone UI is very reliable and strong so alot of people like it but apple ruin it by not playing ball! Miui is completely different... looks similar but we all know that looks only get you so far ;)

I flashed from 1.4.6 (don't forget to factory reset) you can flash from 1.2+ (as long as it has steves new baseband)

*LEDs stay permanently on?

*Chinese has gone on most settings, just a few background bits.

*superfast and loads of settings!

*so far I can't root :(
[Streak 5 Android Development] wugui:
awesome. im going to try it when rotation is fix!

steve: if you need help with chinese, i might be able to assist you. can contact me via twitter ;)
[Streak 5 Android Development] tina333:
Wifi wont work... seems a problem on loads of miui roms? It sticks on a turning on...scanning loop and wont connect?

Any advice steve?
[Streak 5 Android Development] Dizwix:
You should try using static IP.
[Streak 5 Android Development] tina333:
wifi arghhh...

here's my logcat showing wifi problem... if anyone can make head nor tail of it i would be extremely grateful :)

http://logcat.miui-dev.com/56001
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
if you have adb try running chmod -R 777 /system/etc and chmod -R 777 /data
[Streak 5 Android Development] tina333:
Ill try now... barely used adb so I presume I type those exact commands?
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
yep should work
[Streak 5 Android Development] tina333:
???

How far out am i? i have tried looking :o
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
try busybox chmod -R 777 /data and busybox chmod -R 777 /system/etc
[Streak 5 Android Development] tina333:
*Wifi still wont work.

*seems to be rooted but nand still locked so busybox wont install.

*camera doesn't work.

*settings/manage sdcard force closes.

*GPS doesn't appear to work properly.

*swype force closes (annoyingly its the default keyboard so needs changing after every reboot)

****still really impressed though****
[Streak 5 Android Development] iStormUK:
You are a Streak God. When you get the functions working on it, I'm switching, always been the UI stopping me from switching to 2.2, either your original Droid ROM or the Dell one, this removes my only remaining issue. :D
[Streak 5 Android Development] kohiiou:
I saw your screenshot, and it looks rooted (from the look of the # in command prompt). I could be wrong.

Put the busybox binary where your ADB is located, and try pushing it in.

I am totally new to android and I Haven't tried this build, but I would assume that the SDCARD still mounts as SDCARD? Want to say ahead of time I am just trying to help in case I say something stupid below.

If so, try this:

1. adb push busybox /sdcard/busybox

2. adb shell

3. su (not sure if you need to, but what the heck)

4. cd /sdcard

5. mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

6. Try ONE of the following (I suggest the first one):

a) busybox cp busybox /system/bin/busybox

b) cp busybox /system/bin/busybox

c) mv busybox /system/bin/busybox

7. cd /system/bin

8. busybox chmod busybox 755

(lol... i'm guessing if it's already executable, this is pointless? but in case it has more permissions i suppose)

9. continue with the DJ_steve's suggestion:

busybox chmod -R 777 /data and busybox chmod -R 777 /system/etc

10. exit?
[Streak 5 Android Development] tina333:
Thank you, my main issue was wifi, seems a problem with most miui roms but not everyone suffers? I've had to flash 1.4.6 for now (I can confirm it flashes straight back fine,infact you keep swapping from clockworkmod) Im eager to try again if anyone has any ideas sorting wifi :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] tina333:
Is this still a working project? Im happy testing and would like to help. It seems to be at a stand still? There's a thread on modaco but I can't access it easily on the go and I like xda :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
still being worked on :) just havn got much time until friday and still trying to work out how to fix rotation at min also

wifi i may have a fix for in the near future tho
[Streak 5 Android Development] tina333:
Yay wifi fix! I didn't mind it upside down, its surprisingly easy to get used to :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
well i have a way that could fix wifi by a manual route if ya up for a challenge (dont have tiime to uplaod ~90mb again
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
ok folks if you are fairly competant with what your doing in adb hers a very rough howto that hopefuly should fix wifi.
[Streak 5 Android Development] tina333:
I like the "if you're fairly competent using adb" lol don't you like receiving endless screenshots? ;) ill try it later, thank you steve
[Streak 5 Android Development] kumarmvnk:
force close

DJ the swype force close comes every 10 seconds,,,any suggestions
[Streak 5 Android Development] tina333:
for now, long pess a text box and using input method choose a different keyboard. force closes dont stop otherwise :(
[Streak 5 Android Development] kumarmvnk:
Also how do i go back to an dell official release??

i am kinda stuck....
[Streak 5 Android Development] tina333:
1.flash back to 1.4.6 (clockworkmod or streakmod)

2.downgrade baseband (fastboot)

3.copy 2.1 .pkg on root of sd

4.flash stock.img for 2.1 (the one for the build you want)

5.install 2.1 (option 2 then will install straight away, not clockwork)

6.upgrade to 2.2 dell via .pkg (same as step 5)

7.done!
[Streak 5 Android Development] zgmf-x322a:
looking great, im looking forward to it
[Streak 5 Android Development] tina333:
????

i have tried the adb commands three times and get the same error??? something worked as i did manage to install busybox from the market so thats a huge step forward! all commands run smoothly till i get to "ln -s toolbox..." i get "link failed file exists" ??????

someone else on modaco had the same error and steve replied "Yeaany file exists can be ign or ed" i cant make head nor tail of what this means??? :confused:

http://android.modaco.com/content-p...lpha1-announcement-post/page/60/#entry1507491
[Streak 5 Android Development] lsxrx7:
whoa

i was still using the n1 because of MIUI

i'll probably buy a streak if MIUI is working 100%
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
ignore any file exists errors and continue is what it was met to say - swype hates me lol
[Streak 5 Android Development] tina333:
Ah... yeah any file exists can be ignored! I thought my ciphering skills had failled me ;) once I complete all the commands and hopefully achieve wifi will I have to re-do it everytime I flash the rom or is it a one off job? I presume it wont be detrimental to other roms either?
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
everytime you reflash for now
[Streak 5 Android Development] tina333:
great news, at least that not only means my adb skills will improve, copy/paste will be like breathing but i also know whatever on earth i was entering last time i tried wont affect anything :-) always a silver lining :-)
[Streak 5 Android Development] aonavy:
this rom looks sicks!!! I cant wait till its more stable! right now my 2.2 rom works awesome..dont want to mess with it until this get close. I dont have one issue with DJ's 2.2 (1.4.6) :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] aonavy:
hey steve! Thanks for the hard work!!:D

[Streak 5 Android Development] Krisbo:
In regard to the screen rotation, why not talk to the guy who managed to get the custom recovery to boot in landscape? Don't know if it could lead to running in the correct portrait orientation but running in landscape would be better than upside down portrait.

Just a though,

Krisbo
[Streak 5 Android Development] aonavy:
I hope this thread takes off...
[Streak 5 Android Development] ipguy:
As soon as the rotation issue is fixed ill install
[Streak 5 Android Development] ipguy:
Installed just for interests sake, it has promise, unfortunately without correct rotation its rather useless.

Awesome work to date steve!!!
[Streak 5 Android Development] Fazziebear:
Really?

Steve, I am digging this ROM even in alpha

Issues are.....

Camera hangs then force closes

Not all of the market is available

Wireless not working

Music wont startup

Media sound is not working apart from when using the rockplayer

Cant install the latest gmail, Angry birds

Display Brightness is set to default and wont change

Cannot root

No HSPA

Edit: Sound doesnt work at all for alarms, notification and ringtone

sorry if I've repeated previous issues

Beer tokens on the way to show appreciation
[Streak 5 Android Development] tina333:
Totally agree, just a couple of tips./suggestions I noticed while testing might help (any tips we have to help ignore bugs and issues would be useful to pass on :))

Wifi - there been some success with the "busybox trick" (posted on the previous page.)

Market - willl any of the market fixes knocking around help?

Brightness - I changed the brightness using extended controls app. Maybe other apps work too?

"Root - full root and busybox installed from the market after completing first half of busybox trick" via adb.

Hspa - I have a feeling its the icon that fails to show using hspa but yet to confirm tests (not sure how to test accurately)

Let me know what you think :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] Fazziebear:
I'm all for self help! So great ideas, thanks Tina.

Steve dropped you some tokens (accidently against cyanogen) to show appreciation....cheers for the hard work.
[Streak 5 Android Development] tina333:
If Steve has customized this for streak... where do we stand updating? Do patch updates via miui-au need to be tweaked for streak too? Im not asking out of impatience, I've seen fixes and mods and wondered if I can flash to test but don't want to damage my streak :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] aonavy:
Nice!! My biggest thing is music. Can anyone test BT and pandora? I use this for the gym. Other then that id like data and cam to work.
