It starts today in Memphis Tn as well. They were handing out a single sheet flyer yesterday. Trying to decide between it and the Captivate.
[Streak 5 General] huoyjii:
Can anyone share more info on this? I check BestBuy online weekly ad and see nothing of this sort. Love to get one for my wife too at this price.

* EDIT *

I just called my best buy today (Sunday - 12/12) and they said that price was no longer available today. A live person told me it was for Friday and Saturday only??!! :-(

* EDIT #2 *

Called again, same store but asked for mobile dept. They checked confirmed this is true. $99. Nation wide sale. Price adjusted my and got another one for my wife. Cant be happier. Thanks for the post!!!
[Streak 5 General] ffnbbs:
$99.99 Dell Streak

Checked ad this morning and nothing in it. Checked ATT phones for sell at Best Buy and on the item page it was $99.99. Called at 8:35 AM and talked to them. They said print out info and bring it in and they would match the price. I just paid $$379.00 for Dell Streak and OtterBox Commuter Friday 10 Dec 2010 and Sunday at 11:30 AM I got $214.00 back. Dell Streak final Cost $99.99 plus Tax. Not a bad deal. Dayton Ohio.
[Streak 5 General] fogozito:
300 USD unlocked would be really really nice.

they should let you activate the phone at home like the iPhone 2G, :D
[Streak 5 General] Speedy350z:
confirmation $99

I can confirm price is $99 now. I am in Denver. I purchased mine last tuesday at the 299 price. Today I looked in the ad for this week and it wasnt in there but did show online for $99 and in the store for $99. got a credit as that is Bestbuy's policy

Lovin the streak even more now that it only cost me $100 bucks!

Hi.

Got a few questions to one with a bigger brain than my self.

First of:

Just got my Garmin Asus A10 rooted with SuperOneClick - Great tool btw.

I've installed setCPU, set the min+high freqz to 600mhz - hoping on a better benchmark with Quadrant but the result where actually lower then before the root and freq settings.

Second of:

What am i doing wrong - Can i get it to run faster then the 600Mhz?

Third of:

Are there any custom ROMs out there on the way to the Garmin Asus A10?

I have searched all day and havent got any closer to finding a ROM to my device.

Fourth and last:

Do anyone have any suggestions on how i can tweak and modify my device so it will run faster and more smooth?

Hope to hear from someone.

System information:

Rooted Danish Garmin Asus A10 with a contract @Telenor.dk - Denmark.

Firmwareversion: 2.1-update1

Kernelversion: 2.6.29 A10-V5.0.45@T700-SEC2 #28

Buildversion: A10-V5.0.69-user-20101022
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] markchan:
hmmm no idea on your smoothness..

anyone know how to save the SAVED or load SAVED locations from winmo Garmin to here?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gdpt:
For a WAY smoother homescreen, install Launcher Pro (free version works as well)

Besides that, I recommend installing Advanced Task Killer Pro (free)

good luck

I edited the Mms.apk and gave it white notification icon. Makes it a lot easier to see when you get texts. :) It's flashable through androidcommander or adb push and I've provided the 25x25 .png files for anyone who wants to put it into another Mms app.

[HD Mini General] tzoller:
Hello ppl,

Have one question please.

I cooked my own ROM and after fresh install, i got results for memory as per attached - no tasks running.

Is that good / bad, compared to a stock usage after fresh install ?

What is the "normal" usage after fresh install, can someone post actual figures ?

Brgds,

Radu
[HD Mini General] tzacapaca:
Hi Radu:)

By memory i dont know if u mean RAM or ROM,but if its RAM your result is good,if its ROM memory you can free up some more by removing apps like opera,office,google maps,copilot and to install them on storage card.
[HD Mini General] tzoller:
Hi Tzaca,

Thanks for fast reply, but..

"Good" is not just enough, i was looking for actual figures to judge a clear comparison. Spent a lot of time cooking and removing / adding various things, but i forgot to measure it it up, before. That was the question for.

Anyway, card installing is not an really good option except iGO, rest should live happily in phone mem, it's faster this way.

Can you post your figures ? just for quick comparison.

Brgds,

Radu
[HD Mini General] tzacapaca:
hi again...

by "good" i meant that 133MB is the best you can get out of that phone,even i couldnt get so much lol

as about card installing..i'm not agree with you..more stuff u will install on internal memory,slower your phone will be...and i say this from my experience,but of course you can install things where u want :p

it doesnt have sense to post screenshots of my phone RAM because i installed apps like CHT and of course RAM will be smaller than yours after fresh install,but i get around 120 MB RAM after soft reset.

btw..i didnt experience any slow running apps which i have installed on SD card,i dont think that phone ROM memory can go faster than my card which is 4 MB/s r/w :) ,so your argument is not relevant :p
[HD Mini General] tzoller:
Hi Tzaca,

Hehe, 133~135 Mb RAM, at the expense of a Manila free phone...;)

Not planning to use CHT or similar stuff like that, but to find a workable wp7 theme, would be enough for me.

I'm quite used to ideea of installing stuff on card - first WInMo device i had was a FS Loox - however i do not like it except beeing forced to - iGo+maps is too big for phone mem. I use card for music, photo, movie, as a suppoort for stuff... is not neccesarily the card rating @ 4/6 class, but it's actual speed within the system, R/W using phone mem is definitely faster that card...

Thanks anyway for prompt answer.

Best regards,

Radu

Mine is made in taiwan. And I have the washed out screen. Disapointed. And my remorse period is over.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobsbbq:
I think we have more than established that it is not tied to China or Taiwan, FFC off center or not. What I would tell someone is if all you have been getting is units from Taiwan and they are bad ask for one from China, and vise verse.

I also believe that the first batches that sent out had more of the bad ones and in certain areas the bad ones are more than the good ones.

If you look through my other thread there is many comments about this.

With this said I had luck with one from China.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jriv:

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raeef:
Remove the battery and read what is written on the phone. Mine was made in Taiwan, the screen is washed out and the FFC is not centered too.

I think I have 30 days to return it since I paid the full price ( based on what is written on the receipt)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mingkee:

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shlongwoodian:
LCD-SH-C2 vs. LCD-SO-C2

I've been through a few replacements for creaking, etc. and thus, I've had a few different MT4G's under one roof. The first phones we ordered were 1 white and 1 black. I still have my first white one here, as well as its second replacement (its first replacement was sent back since it was defective).

I grabbed my new MT4G and my fiancee's first MT4G (the Black one, which is about to be replaced by Plum) and compared them last night.

Here's a side by side...

The one on the left side of the pic is my fiancee's black one. Here are some details about the black one:

It was manufactured in Taiwan

Its hboot > System Info shows LCD-SH-C2

The MT4G on the right side of the pic is my white one. Here are the details about that device:

It was manufactured in China

Its hboot > System Info shows LCD-SO-C2

I just wanted to document the devices I had here and be another notch on the belt of, "the LCD-SH-C2 screen appears to be the inferior one."

I'll keep searching around as I haven't seen anyone actually state whether or not they have a phone from Taiwan, but with the "superior" LCD-SO-C2 screen.

Also note that the "paint" on the back of the one from Taiwan (where the 'Made in...', IMEI, etc. are) is much lighter/duller than the one from China. All of the other MT4G's we've had here were made in China, had the superior screen and had a crisper paint for the IMEI, etc. I've seen plenty say the know it's not simply "China vs. Taiwan," just haven't personally seen anyone show they have a phone manufactured in Taiwan, yet with the superior screen.

Anywho, again, I just wanted to document my experience with the good vs. bad.

Also, what are TMO or HTC saying about this? Have either "owned up" to this? Is TMO officially accepting the obvious and documented manufacturing differences?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shlongwoodian:
FYI...

Typically a TMO employee or moderator responds to posts on the TMO support forum, particularly, if someone's posting misinformation, etc. It appears as though the moderators have been silent regarding the "Inferior" display vs "superior" pictures! thread.

I called TMO and used "cancel my service" to get to Customer Loyalty. I wanted to just see if someone, anyone was "on top" of this QC issue. I spoke with the Customer Loyalty rep's manager and they're pretty much avoiding all-things technical. She offered her two cents and stated that maybe TMO is currently looking into the discrepancies and that's why they've been silent.

What she DID offer though, was to make this right. Since my fiancee and I are going on our 5th MT4G between us, she offered to just give us one for free.

I just wanted to share my experience with others, to see if this could help anyone get something out of this. I didn't call in to yell, I didn't ***** or gripe and I did not ask for the credit. I truly wanted to communicate what's documented here, on TMO's forum and on HTC's forum.

Just figured I'd share this with everyone.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tharptx:
Hi - I just got a MT4G over the weekend (previous MT3G user with CM6.1). My phone was made in Taiwan and, judging from your picture above, I definitely don't have the washed-out "inferior" screen.

Haven't figured out how to check the hboot > system info yet. Once I do I'll compare with your results and reply back.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shlongwoodian:
Press and hold the power button + the volume DOWN while powering on.

Looks like you have to have root access in order to get into hboot. It's difficult to say which screen is which unless you can compare. Our employee just got his MT4G, a white one, at a local TMO stand in our mall. He thought his looked just fine - until he compared his to mine. His was made in Taiwan and he has the inferior LCD-SH-C2 display.

I would love to see someone with pics of a phone made in Taiwan, yet shows LCD-SO-C2 for the display. I have yet to see photographic evidence of this.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ESKIMOn00b:

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shlongwoodian:
Yep, from what I've seen thus far, all of the devices that came out of Taiwan have the SH display. I'm dying to see one that came out of Taiwan and shows the SO display.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ESKIMOn00b:
apparently every MT we have at my store is taiwan....

checking across the hall at retail tmo in a bit

does the barcode on the box say china on the china ones? mine says taiwan on phone and box...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shlongwoodian:
All of the devices I have that were manufactured in China, also show China on the box itself...

The black MT4G with the inferior display that I have, shows Taiwan on the phone itself, as well as the retail packaging...

That's not to say that it's a guarantee, but it's a pretty good sign.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobsbbq:
Yes they will say MADE IN CHINA on the box. Thanks for checking.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ESKIMOn00b:
odd i have 5-10 in the store and all are taiwan.... maybe they **** indirect dealers harder than we thought... lol
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shlongwoodian:
Chances are this wasn't "intentional." We're dealing with manufacturers, supply chains and ultimately, humans. I used to manage a software company that sold POS-specifc printers. They came out of both China and Taiwan. At one of the plants, they ran into a QC issue (actually, at the Chinese plant) and it wasn't discovered until a few thousand units had shipped. It came down to a new employee on the floor (human error).

My guess is it was just a mistake/oversight - i.e. someone checked a box on a piece of paper and OK'd an order, thinking "there can't be any difference."
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ESKIMOn00b:
yeah yeah... i know.. just been frustrated at t-mo latley, everything used to be so good, what the hell happened?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shlongwoodian:
I have to say just the opposite. The service from their reps has been great. My 3g and ultimately HSPA+ coverage has only gotten better and better.

This is a pretty big beast to handle, releasing such phone. Even Apple ran into QC issues with the whole antenna debacle. So I'm pretty happy with TMO, considering they're a "big corporation." I'm more interested in seeing how they handle/respond to this early release issue.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ESKIMOn00b:
its been a lot on the activations and dealer support latley... also customer care used to be 24x7....

ive been with t-mo longer than DTK... it was voicestream and powertel when i signed up... now i sell their handsets at work... trust me it used to be better
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btbuck1:
I'm the original poster in the other thread adressing this issue. I was the first to provide pics as evidence of this issue. Both of my first two (Superior screen) Models were Taiwan builds, one with 2.2.1, one with 2.2. I now have a Black China build that came with 2.2.1 With superior screen.

That said, in my quest to get superior screen devices, I've gone through far more bad Taiwan builds, and the first China one we opened was a good one.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ESKIMOn00b:

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shlongwoodian:
Aaaah, the MT4G Display Poor Contrast, VS Good Rich Contrast Display, Which do you have thread.

I still didn't see an actual pic of Taiwan on the back of the phone, but with the "SO" display. I keep seeing inaccurate statements such as...

I have two phones that shipped with 2.2 from the beginning of November. The white one came from China with 2.2 and the good display. The black one came from Taiwan and has the bad display.

But yeah, seems like whatever happened at the Taiwanese plant(s) is slowly starting to get sorted out. That doesn't help all the devices sitting out there in stores though. :( And most TMO reps don't appear to be aware of ANY issue at all.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shlongwoodian:
Yeah, that's sort of the approach I have. :D
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btbuck1:
yes, those were in the early days of trying to figure out just what the heck was going on. I don't have Taiwan build in my posession any longer, but I assure you...the first two good ones i owned, were in fact Taiwan builds. one shipped 2.2.1, the other 2.2. Now I have china black superior 2.2.1.

My buddy who's a manager for a corporate store has a plum 2.2.1 taiwan with superior.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shlongwoodian:
I have to take your word for it, btbuck1. :) Based on your posts, it sounds like you obviously ran into a few of these "rare species" that are the Taiwanese builds with the SO display. Hopefully it was just that - a rare batch that has since been corrected. I can only imagine the logistics in undoing this though.

Also, I "thanked" you on your post that "helped" me, for what it's worth. :)

The good thing is, many people out there aren't going to notice it. I'm so glad a forum such as XDA exists and that the world has evolved into a place where us little people, can actually help make some sort of a difference.

Maybe in the future, HTC and the carriers will send a few free devices to XDA's most "honored" members to help flush out any "beta" issues. ;)

I truly am not trying to "come at you," but I have to say that unless you have pics or a side by side comparison, I'm a bit skeptical. I know it's possible, but it's very easy to say, "I have the bad screen." Again, I'm not trying to come at you, but for what it's worth, I think posting a pic of your hboot > System Information would help quell any doubt I or anyone might have.

I have heard there were some from china with the bad screens as well. But I would also like to see more data on the type of LCD it is to help make it more clear.
