[Streak 5 Android Development] Emission:
Holy crap, what kind of music are you streaming, 640 kbps? Streaming music shouldn't even eat 100 to 200mb in 2.5 hours depending on what data type the stream is.

To be honest with you, I haven't been able to use my 2GB in a month yet. Doing anything from remotely accessing my PC to tethering, in moderation, I have not been able to even go over 1GB.

I'd have to be really trying to get to 2GB.
[Streak 5 Android Development] vanemburghj:
Emission was an error in my post, but I hit 2GB every single month. And to tell you the truth I don't think I am hitting it that hard, but surfing and watching a few videos has me at 1.1 GB for the month already. My next roll over is midnight on the 4th.
[Streak 5 Android Development] goyjuss:
I am definitely glad that I was able to get onto the unlimited plan back when it was still available. I have my Streak on one line with unlimited data, messages and voice. I use this for downloading quite a few things at work (I hate Barracuda Networks). I'm usually up to about 30GB worth of data usage per month.
[Streak 5 Android Development] paul89:
what the hell does the last 10 post have to do with the thread topic?
[Streak 5 Android Development] vanemburghj:
Paul you are correct, absolutely nothing, but we need to get back to the original thought by Neo. He is willing to accept CM 6.1 or 7 on his Streak without Dell software that makes it a cell phone and use wifi/3G VOIP services. Truly out of the box thinking, but don’t think I could go there. Your thoughts?
[Streak 5 Android Development] lexo1a:
CM 6.1 yea its awesome but personally i would prefer honeycomb's awesomenesses, now that my friends would make this the ultimate android time machine i mean from 1.6 all the way up to 3.0.XX..........I'm sure everyones seen honeycomb being ran by D.J.Steve himself and honestly thats why, i think everyone would rather help him on that instead. By the way does anyone have a link to updates on 3.0 port to our beloved streak?
[Streak 5 Android Development] jmhalder:
There are no updates on it... 3.0 isn't open sourced yet, so you CANNOT download the source code for it, when it drops to AOSP, you'll see a flood of roms using 3.0. Porting the build from the SDK will yield poor results... 3.0 might not drop to AOSP till after Google I/O.

I would like to know this too!

[Streak 5 Android Development] TheManii:
Have you even read the comments on that page?

Whoever wrote that guide has no idea what they're talking about/doesnt own a streak/trying to brick your phone.

installing superboot will brick your phone

all the methods mentioned to flash a recovery likely wont work because of the way stock roms work

the rom linked isnt even cm7, it looks like it's 6.1 based and looks like it's just CM6.1's source compiled with the streak's charastics inserted into the compile script. best case it installs and loads and be completely unusuable, worst case it installs and doesnt load and you just bricked your phone.

If there was a working cm6 or cm7 rom (that works enough to be actually useful) there would be a huge announcement.

Install this if you want to brick your phone

That's what I thought when I saw the date of the link.

[Streak 5 Android Development] mikeinessex:
yh my bad, didnt read them till after i made the post. anyway everyone is talking about honeycomb. i came from galaxy s an desire hd and trust me. cm7 is the one what will change this phone and also open its ability to use different themes
[Streak 5 Android Development] W0nk0:
That "Android Advices" CM7 how-to looks like total bullshite to me. There is no working CM7 for the Streak, and the rooting/bootloader procedures are not up to date either.

Looks like some guy posting the same how-to for each and every phone out there. Who the hell knows why, but it looks like everyone trying it will brick his Streak with that.
[Streak 5 Android Development] adamo86:
Hi the link on first post is it fully working on dell streak also does that rom support arabic properly. Thanks
[Streak 5 Android Development] Fazziebear:
Read the posts......when you've read them.........then let us know what you think....... ;)

Sorry I'm being cynical. The post is an alpha. Not sure if it supports Arabic. Althought I'm sure cyanogen does...so it may do. Search cyanogen and arabic
[Streak 5 Android Development] adamo86:
Did a search only certain cyanogen roms support arabic.
[Streak 5 Android Development] aSquard:
Yo... When was this build last updated? I'd love to try this but after reading the few posts earlier, I kinda need my Streak

Hey PPL!

I have several questions about "design" my device.

1.Can I change my Notification Bar only?

2.Can someone give me a full guide about framework? I Downloaded a Notification Bar and the the file contains .xml file and 'framework-res' folder. how do I install it?

3.What can I do with OpenRecovery and I do I install it?

Some info about my device:

-Motorola Milestone (droid)

-G.o.t 2.2.1 FroYo

-Rooted

TNX for your help! :confused:

And:

There is a CRAPLOAD of info right here on xda! Either go into your phone's forum or try the "generic" Android forum on top of the forum list page.

Here's another great site that also does quite a few batteries AND notification bar icons:

http://circle.glx.nl/

That site also lets creates a flashable zip of your framework.

The actual status bar itself is called "statusbar_background.9.png" find that in the res/drawable folder in the framework and edit until you're blue in the face... :D

***KEEP IN MIND THOUGH*** a lot of this depends on what ROM you're running and if you're DEODEXED or not. So start Googling.

(Plenty of info here about de-odexed ROMs too).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] aceoyame:
I am just about to release my new barebones build with a lot of new features but one thing is killing me. I cannot get superuser to work anymore with the latest build and the latest kernel. Rogue tools won't overclock without SU working and that just totall kills the speed of my build =(. The build is based off scoot's release 5 and I am using the latest kernel with and without the module update SU is unaffected. Everything else works though.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] scooter1556:
What have you changed from the build i sent you that might effect it? Does it work for you with the original build? Things to check are the sysinit.rc, make sure it calls userinit.sh on startup, and also check your userinit.sh in the /bin directory and make sure the su fix is still present in the file :) Otherwise, try opening the super user app and downloading the latest su binary file, if it fails to install then you most likely have partition permission issues.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] aceoyame:
I did edit userinit to enable the odex script. I am gonna check that now.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] aceoyame:
Ok I am pretty sure that was it. how do I add this line to userinit to have it be proper then? /system/bin/odex.sh
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] scooter1556:
You'd need to put it in sysinit.rc like this :

service odex /system/bin/odex.sh
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] aceoyame:
So put that line right at the end then? Or is there a special format it has to go in. Sorry, I have just never had to edit this particular file before lol.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] scooter1556:
At the end is fine, you will see some similar lines in there, you may want to add some options such as :

console

user root

oneshot

I don't know what the structure of the odex script is so i don't know which options you will need to get it to run properly but these are the most likely, just experiment and see :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mmec2:
I've always put it at the end, after the su fix just as "/system/bin/odex.sh" and nothing else. What does service do? will it run it continuously or just with different permissions?

I would say its more likely that something's gone wrong while you edited userinit.sh, and now it can't be executed.

did you edit it in windows? you may have /n/r line endings now instead of /n

if you did it in linux it may be a permissions problem
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] aceoyame:
fixed! I used the userinit from my old barebones. Something changed in the update. The two looked totally different.
[Captivate Android Development] pmessana:
Before I start, I will admit, this is not the simplest way to go about this but it worked - this is also meant as a bit of humor as I, like you, have spent countless hours trying to 'fix' my GPS and the posts on here are comical with people getting angry about alleged fixes.

Here Goes....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Step 1: Brick Phone - for everyone out there that is about to say "it is impossible to brick your phone"...go right ahead, say that, but just wait until you really do it. For those wondering what a truly bricked phone looks like, well, it is a phone that won't pass the AT&T screen on boot and attempting to enter Download or Recovery mode gets you a picture of the battery charging icon but fully dead and the spinning graphic not spinning

Step 2: Take phone to AT&T Handset Service Center (Thankfully we have one here and didn't have to do the mail in route)

Step 3: Exchange (under warranty - mind you, three guys all attempted to get into recovery mode and shook their heads with a look of "it is impossible to brick one of these" looks

Step 4: Take new phone outside, enable GPS

Step 5: Have lock in 3 seconds - now, for all of you who say "lock doesn't mean sh*t"...great point, my old one locked fast but had me driving in the middle of nowhere

Step 6: Drive with Google Maps and viola, I am on the right road, going the right direction and turning at the right places.

So, all you hunting for a software fix, I tried them all on my old phone, they didn't help, this is NOT a software issue, I am now convinced, more than ever, that it is in the hardware.

I said there is probably a simpler way to do this, if your phone is under warranty I would recommend swapping it out. I can't guarantee that they would swap it for just a "GPS Issue", and I wish I could tell you how I really bricked the phone....that process went something like this in case you really want to try it.

Flash to Stock

Boot into Recovery

Load ClockWork

Reboot

Flash Axura2.1RC2

Flash Fails

Attempt to boot phone - going to reflash to stock and try again

Start Cursing

Attempt to get into Download

Battery Dies in the process

Spend 4 hours attempting every trick to get into Download or Recovery

and Viola...bricked.

Still not sure why the flash failed, got a weird error but that doesn't matter, it got me a new ("refurbished") phone with a GPS that is dead on.

BTW - If you are curious, I haven't touched the settings in LbsTestMode, I am using that supposedly bad SUPL spirent-lcs.
[Captivate Android Development] life02:
just curious... what is your build number?

EDIT: lastdeadmouse and I did plan this in advance
[Captivate Android Development] jwood55812:
Everyone will tell you in a few days it will be bad as ever... How can you be convinced that it's hardware related? Do we have any evidence that Samsung started using a different chip somewhere along the process? Seems pretty unlikely tbh. Not to rain on your parade or anything but... yeah. Enjoy the GPS as long as its working for you!
[Captivate Android Development] lastdeadmouse:
I'm curious. What is the build number of your new refurbished cap?

EDIT:I swear life02 and I didn't plan this in advance :)
[Captivate Android Development] pmessana:
I am convinced because 50% of the people have no problems and tout how great their phones are. The other 50% can't get them to work.

Software is non-discriminating, it doesn't know who you are, but it surely knows what hardware is in there.
[Captivate Android Development] fatttire:
Move to general discussion thread

I have heard stories in the past of people making the same claim as you only to re-post a week later and say their "perfect" GPS is now losing locks, etc. etc.

re: jwood55812. They don't necessarily have to design a new chip, it could be a quality control issue where defective chips weren't being intercepted. **could be**

I have always attributed this to the ambiguity of the term "great." When I first got my phone, I said, wow, this is great! Found a lock in 30 seconds. What are all these people talking about? Then I tried to use it everyday downtown for navigation, and, well, I hate it. These people that say it is great, I just don't think they have stressed it hard enough / understand what we are really complaining about.
[Captivate Android Development] upNsmokeAllDay:
Is the new phone a captivate? Because i just got my captivate and i have the same stupid issue on google maps where it just drives around randomly and does not stay on the road.
[Captivate Android Development] pmessana:
Nice one....you two are in tandem...

Now, can one of you tell me where I would find the build number....I am guessing it is on this label under the battery but which number do you want?

As for the idea that they need new chips to fix the issue, that would assume that it is chip related and not poor antenna placement (that never happens) or poor soldering on the board, or just plain poor Quality Control in general.
[Captivate Android Development] fatttire:
Look under the battery. Mine is 1008. I suspect yours is 1010?
[Captivate Android Development] lastdeadmouse:
10XX. What's the XX?
[Captivate Android Development] pmessana:
Nope, 1008 here. BUT, this is a refurbished unit, received yesterday by the Service Center (they didn't carry replacements until yesterday - good timing on my brick).

Since it is refurbished there is not telling what is really inside the phone, if anything had to be changed OR if the original owner of this fine device had a good one to start with.
[Captivate Android Development] upNsmokeAllDay:
Hmm mine is 1009 and if they have a 1010 that fixes it then i want that to replace my 1009.
[Captivate Android Development] lastdeadmouse:
Mine's 1010, and my GPS has never worked for sh@t. Well, does kind of, on occasion, but too be honest, I was on the stock rom for all of... the time it took to charge, lol.:cool:
[Captivate Android Development] pmessana:
I verified it worked on the stock ROM, then flashed it, still works like a champ...this ROM is Vibrant based so in theory both the Galaxy and Vibrant code works fine.

On my last phone, it NEVER worked, not the first day and not it's last day.
[Captivate Android Development] fatttire:
Okay guys, I'll make it simple through a few principles.

1. GPS is broken on the hardware end. The hardware will never have the performance of comparable units.

2. Every GPS unit will be affected by a number of factors. Must of these factors go unnoticed, because if the GPS is already functional, a 10% increase in performance has no practical benefit.

3. Here at XDA forums many people have speculated on factors that increase or decrease GPS performance. This is only possible because our hardware is broken, and as such, a 10% increase in performance for such a borderline product is practically useful and noticeable.

4. We are stuck with 10% differences and will never have a fully functional GPS.

A good recent example to back it up: hardcore recently discovered a few kernel scheduler tweaks that improves GPS performance. Would anyone have discovered that in a device that had a functional GPS? No. Does it fix GPS? No. Is it a little bit better (~10%?). Probably.

Here's some speculation on what might be going on in here: There may be a +/- 20% swing in GPS performance depending on manufacturing conditions. Because our GPS is broken, we can tell a difference between two products with different build #'s. pmessana, your old device was probably a -20% swing that resulted in a completely defective GPS unit for which returning it was useful

A functional GPS unit should be able to tolerate a few hits, such as minute differences in manufacturing conditions. Our GPS is broken and there are no fixes, just things that help a little bit

Incidentally, this also means that once you do a negative factor, your GPS will fail again. If your GPS is working it is borderline and a -20% hit will push it over the edge. This is why it is useful to see if it still works in a week and not just take a 1 day experience.

Take home message: GPS displays every feature of a borderline functioning system, very sensitive to minute hits
[Captivate Android Development] upNsmokeAllDay:
Shame for a phone that is as good as this to have a malfunctioning GPS. Guess i will stop recommending the phone to everyone that grabs it and marvels at it. :(
[Captivate Android Development] pmessana:
Coudn't agree more, there is a defect in there and only the lucky ones get functioning units. Those waiting for a software fix will be waiting forever.

I recommend the phone only to people that aren't tied to their GPS, I tell them straight up, the GPS sucks, the phone rocks, if you want a cool phone that has you in the middle of nowhere, this is it.

I would recommend everyone with a malfunctioning GPS return the phone for a new one, take your chances and if nothing else, Samsung will maybe address it with a giant warranty rate.
[Captivate Android Development] Rundemc:
i have a 1006 unit and my GPS is also crap... i came from a iphone with GPS that never let me down i love the phone alot more than my iphone... but now im looking for something else to replace this thing with... i should wait and not be an early adopter next time... :(
[Captivate Android Development] darkamikaze:
I don't see this as Android Development.. The GPS works for me occasionally and I have older units than you guys do :T depending on my ROM.

I still believe in a software fix. :T
[Captivate Android Development] jwood55812:
Fair enough fatttire, honestly hadn't thought about something like that, I guess I'm naive enough to think that its hopefully software related because then a fix will help everyone, but who knows, I guess I honestly don't use many location based services so its not a super big deal for me.
[Captivate Android Development] docflower:
dont really know how much there is to it, but i warrantied my 4x (thats right im on the 5th) and currently i have 1010 model. opened boxed flashed vibrant files, adjust server info, turned off supl secure and everything works really well now. with tracking and all.

fyi.
[Captivate Android Development] upNsmokeAllDay:
Just tested my sons who has a 1010 model and the gps sucks just as bad as any older build.
[Captivate Android Development] pmessana:
4 days and still locking and tracking like a champ!

There are a few times where it took 30 seconds to get the first lock but then was lightening fast to lock after that point and tracking is as good as my TomTom.

Zero changes to the gps.conf or the SUPL settings, running stock settings.
[Captivate Android Development] tdbgamer:
I had done everything you did except turning supl secure off, and now that i did it, it's locking in like 10 seconds. Thank you!

[Galaxy S I9000 General] phusio:
Hello all. I am a happy galaxy user. Yesterday i downloaded the unofficial samsung 2.2.1 release xxjpu. I soon find out that the market was not working, so i thought ill go back to the official 2.2 (JPA). I downloaded this from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=846913 . I flashed the rom with the included Odin (1.0) en included pit file 513. I also downloaded the CSC file for my region (Netherlands). After the flash was succesful in Odin i rebooted the device. After the samsung boot screen the device vibrates, but the screen stays black. I booted to recovery and formatted the internal sd card and did a hardreset. Still the device vibrates a few times and stays black. How can i get my device back to the official 2.2 now? Am i forgetting something or did i do something wrong? thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] drew071:
Have you tried getting a different pit and firmware from samfirmware?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] phusio:
Hi , yes. I flashed yesterday JM8 , after this i flashed JPA with another pit (512 instead of 513) . Got the device back now , working perfect. Thanks for the tip. I also made a mistake marking re-partition while flashing JPA. I only needed to do this for the JM8 .
[Legend General] gesax:
Hi,

just recently I bought a used Legend when I was abroad. It seemed to work alright at the shop but I soon discovered that it had a few flaws.

First the symptoms:

The Notification panel rolls down when I touch the screen often rendering the touch screen useless.

Typing on the keyboard in upright position brings down the panel, but if i tilt it it typing the letter "P" will give me "Q"

Some times the screen will start flickering when I hold my finger 10mm above the screen.

The HTC weather app does not show the correct local weather - 3rd party works.

Then to the problem solving attempts:

Reboot - solves the problem for a short while

Resetting to factory defaults - same as above

Disassembled to check for lose components or particles - none found and warranty void I know...

OTA update - I got the 2.1-updat1 2 days ago and the phone worked fine for3-4hrs before it started acting up again. HTC Weather was working.

OTA upgrade - got 2.2 yesterday and had another 3-4hrs without symptoms. HTC Weather app was working.

And a couple of questions:

1) Is it hardware or software?

2) If software - how can it be solved? I`m ok with rooting etc. but would prefer a less time consuming solution. I`m in a Linux environment.

3) If it is hardware - I would probably be able to replace the digitizer (if that`s the problem) but how do i locate it for sure?

4) Would this problem be logged in the phone if so how do i access it?

I could send it in for repair but since the warranty is voided it would probably cost a small fortune and since I find it quite satisfactory to mend things I would really appreciate all the help I could get.
