Hi Guys

I've followed Dark Tremor's flashing procedure and i can see a fair amount of A2SD storage using a Storage info widget....however when i install a program it doesn't seem to install it to the SD card...how can i tell what's going on?
[Nexus One General] Mokurex:
You have to choose to install it to internal memory.
[Nexus One General] Wiggz:
Thanks for the reply.....I don't get an option when I install an app tho?
[Nexus One General] antiochasylum:
What Rom are you running?
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
If you're using a custom ROM, use the ROM's Spare Parts and see if there is an option there to force everything to go on SD or on internal memory. If there is - choose "internal memory".

If not - just go to Settings/Applications/SD Card and move everything you find there back to the phone. Also look in DarkTremor's thread to find the switches you need to use when running a2sd to make the internal memory default storage location.

And understand that as far as the phone is concerned, you're moving nothing on SD card. EXT partition is not recognized by the phone as storage option, but everything that went to /data/app goes on EXT. Please spend the time and search the forums, the ways to check that DarkTremor's Apps2SD is in use were discussed many times and in many places.
[Nexus One General] Wiggz:
Thanks for the info...I did indeed search but didn't find an answer as concise as the one you just provided...thanks again.

I installed 2.2 froyo early on the captivate...and whenever i go to get a software update OTA it say's it can't connect to the AT&T server's. I want to get a update to my software if there is one out there...somebody please help it's aggravating me.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
before everyone jumps on you for posting in the wrong section...you did

secondly...if you are running 2.2 how are you going to get any official updates since there arent any??
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhernand1102:
This doesn't belong in the Development section. It is well known that once you root and install ROM's you will not be able to update over OTA. If you want flash back to stock and use Kies mini to get the update...By the way it's only JH6 which is still Eclair 2.1
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Th3Nigh7Stalk3r:
I wouldn't know if there are any software update's since i can't update over the air. and i dont wanna go back to stock 2.1 cuz i will loose all of my progress in all of my games that are on my phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
seriously. read.

2.2 isnt officially out on ATT yet.

if you are running 2.2, then obviously you arent going to get ANY updates from ATT since they are not pushing 2.2 out.

common sense will tell you that if ATT is not providing 2.2 to us, then obviously there wont be any updates since their only update is JH7 which is ECLAIR 2.1-update1

there are about 5.2 million threads in the q/a and general sections that discuss this. please do some reading.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sixstringsg:
You won't lose your progress in your games if you back up with Titanium Backup, but there is no reason to go back to stock because there are no updates that have anything newer than your Froyo ROM.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Th3Nigh7Stalk3r:
as you can see i am a huge noob at this stuff. but to reply to sixstringsg about the titanium backup...how would i use that? cuz it's a app. so if i go back to stock 2.1 that will be deleted, meaning i will have to re-install it and i will still loose my progress.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sixstringsg:
Install it, and back up all user apps. Then either copy that over to your computer, or your external SD card if you have one, then when you flash back to stock, Root, install Titanium and reinstall through it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
Titanium backup and restore does exactly what it says it does. it will backup and restore apps+data

once on a new rom, you would install titanium backup again and click on RESTORE and it will restore your apps

the apps are saved on your internal SDcard which does not get wiped by merely flashing new rom
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Please do some research before posting a new thread, let alone in the wrong section. If you are running 2.2 then you have flashed a rom and know how to search for your answers. It is all there to be read.

QDL tool issues?

I have been trying for a month to upgrade, and I am just missing something. I have my device rooted and have tried the QDL tool, it gets about half way through the process and fails. I don't recall everything I have done, as I have tried a dozen times.

I rooted the device.

I downloaded some drivers and installed them.

I downloaded the QDL tool

Did you go from At&t 1.6 to O2 1.6 first (that I have not done).

A step by step would be wonderful.

I get this:

Phone not booting into Fastboot. Will QDL help.

Hey All,

I searched for my problem in many places, no go.

No one talking about Streak not going into Fastboot mode.:confused:

Here's what happened...

I was trying to install GingerStreak 2.4.4 from GingerStreak 2.4.3.

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1333010

According to the instructions, I flashed

amss.mbn - http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/amss.mbn

and

dsp1.mbn - http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/dsp1.mbn

(got both the files from the first link above)

Then when I tried to reboot into Bootloader (Power+Vol Up+Vol Down) but nothing happens apart from the Dell logo being displayed.

I try to boot normally, still stuck at the Dell logo. The phone never even reaches the boot animation.

I try to go boot into fastboot (power+camera key)mode, but the phone never even boots. The screen stays off, so do the LED lights.

I figured out that the files downloaded above were incomplete(due to slow speed Chrome showed incomplete files as download complete).

amss downloaded: 111KB. Actual Size: 15.41MB

DSP1 Downloaded: 250KB. Actual Size: 8.94MB

So, I flashed the wrong files.

Now, I guess, the phone is bricked big time.

I need big time to get into fastboot mode (to flash the correct files) or anyhow get my phone working.

I need to know if QDL tool will help me sort this out. It is currently downloading. If I get the answer, will post back.

Guys, need help. Please help me out and get this issue sorted out.
[Streak 5 Accessories] ZodiacPhoto:
Just received a Slacker G2 Dock ($15 with free S&H from eBay), plugged my Streak, and it works for charging and synchronization. I did not test A/V yet. A great, inexpensive and stylish alternative to a spare cable.
[Streak 5 Accessories] streak4m3:
So this thing has the same PDMI connector? Does it work with a case on (i.e. Otterbox Commuter case)?
[Streak 5 Accessories] xilpaxim:
wow i might get two! Is there a regular plug for it or is the power from mini usb only?
[Streak 5 Accessories] ReWegar:
wow very nice and cheap solution! Unfortunately, the seller shall only be sent after the U.S..
[Streak 5 Accessories] Reclaim:
Wow this is good news! Let us know if the A/V functions work! And thank you for this find!
[Streak 5 Accessories] streak4m3:
@ZodiacPhoto,

Could you please post a pic of the Streak in this dock and showing that it is charging. If the PDMI connector on this Slacker G2 dock matches the Dell Streak and it charges - you seriously just found a hidden jewel! So I am eagerly awaiting your reply so we can verify and order these bad boys :)
[Streak 5 Accessories] Troute:
Thats that thing I was trying to remember the name of in the "Dell Please, we need a charging dock like this one" thread thanks!

Pity they don't seem to be available in the UK though.
[Streak 5 Accessories] ZodiacPhoto:
Photos are here!

Here are the photos:
[Streak 5 Accessories] Keethos:
Hi ZodiacPhoto,

Thanks for the photo's like, though how stable/sturdy is the phone on the dock? The main body of the dock seem's quite low and no where near the phone, so it looks like there's no support for the phone and it looks like its hanging on the PDMI connectors....is that a correct assumption?
[Streak 5 Accessories] streak4m3:
Thank you! Awesome! Does Streak feel stable in it? I am asking because there is not a lot of support in the back and I am afraid (after a while) the port maybe damaged under pressure of Streaks weight.
[Streak 5 Accessories] streak4m3:
Looks like we're asking the same question

;0 Also do you by chance have any sort of case. I am usually have mine in a Commuter case so I wonder if the case may prevent it from connecting all the way.

I think one could glue something to support the back if necessary so it's not as big of a concern as the fitment with the case on.
[Streak 5 Accessories] ZodiacPhoto:
Update on the dock

The dock has 2 outputs, labeled "Line out" and "Headphones (symbol)".

When I try to play music while connected to USB, I get the familiar message that SD card content is not available when connected via USB. I unplugged the USB cable and played some music. There is no signal on any of the two outputs of the dock.

---

Also, I can say that Streak is quite stable on the dock, the center of gravity is well within the area of the dock, and the dock itself, while small, is quite heavy - it feels like it may have lead weight inside, and bottom of the dock is covered by non-slip rubber.
[Streak 5 Accessories] streak4m3:
@ZodiacPhoto,

Thanks again. Do you think Streak being in a case would not allow the PDMI connector of the dock to go all the way in and thus not charge the device (or even letting it stay in the dock)?
[Streak 5 Accessories] ZodiacPhoto:
Streak in a case on the Slacker dock

I have to remove my Commuter case to fit the Streak on the Slacker dock.

However, it may be possible to fit an extremely "lean" case, which does not increase the dimensions of the Streak, if such case even exists.
[Streak 5 Accessories] streak4m3:
Thanks for your prompt response. I was afraid that may be the case (no pun intended ;)). From the many high res pictures I was able to find on the web it looks like the bottom portion of the case (near the charging port) will prevent it from going all the way in.

Still at $15 - it's a very nice deal. I'll have have to learn how to remove the case quickly and without damaging the case :)

Where am i looking for on eBay because i can not find anything on Slacker G2 Dock or any combination from that.

Ok never mind i found it with google and they don't ship outside the US.
[Streak 5 Accessories] Lord60:
Doesn't look very stable. If it had a backrest, I would say yes it's a good choice... but it looks like the streak is held up solely by the male PDMI.
[Streak 5 Accessories] [SMAN]:
Just bought 2 of these. I don't need HDMI or audio out, just power and usb sync. One for the office and one for the nightstand. Does this cradle autotrigger the clock app like the official dock does?
[Streak 5 Accessories] BrokenPixel:
I beleive you can set the clock to show up as soon as you plug the streak to the dock or usb wire.
[Streak 5 Accessories] Troute:
It's always shown up for me when I plug the streak in to the dock or power cable.
[Streak 5 Accessories] Spleisher:
If not, tasker is the best few bucks you will ever spend. For this purpose and many others. Launch any clock you like based on any criteria you like ;)
[Streak 5 Accessories] Spleisher:
Mine won't charge. 3 different USB cables. Any ideas?
[Streak 5 Accessories] p_razzi:
...and then there were two ... :-)
[Streak 5 Accessories] [SMAN]:
Don't say that. I bought two of these things.
[Streak 5 Accessories] xilpaxim:
has anyone else received theirs yet?
[Streak 5 Accessories] [SMAN]:
USPS shows that mine are at my local facility, so i'll have them in a day or two.

I wish I weren't saying it. Does fit ok sans case though. I am going to play with it more. We shall see.
[Streak 5 Accessories] markeaster:
No joy for me

Got my dock two days ago. Have tried three different usb cables to no avail. There must be a specific wiring difference between those that work and those that do not. I remember reading somewhere that Dell did something with two wires to indicate to the device that high amp charging was available. Wonder if that could be it. I would be grateful to anyone that can solve this, because I really like the dock if I could get it to work.
[Streak 5 Accessories] markeaster:
JOY!

Found another post with the solution (http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-763767.html). Just removed the rubber feet on either side of the dock connector and Voila! It works!! Going to go order two more of these pronto while I still can.
[Streak 5 Accessories] Techvir:
Great news. Can u post some pics
[Streak 5 Accessories] ZodiacPhoto:
Rubber feet?

The tiny rubber pads on the sides of the connector are less than 1mm tall. My dock works with pads in place...
[Streak 5 Accessories] [SMAN]:
Sure enough, you are right. I scraped them off with my finger nail and it allows the streak to sit down a lot further and when it was all the way in, it powered up!
[Streak 5 Accessories] aonavy:
I got my dock from ebay and it doesn't charge. I found a usher cable from my tom tom but doesn't charge. Plugged it the charger and pc. Nothing. Anythiughts
[Streak 5 Accessories] [SMAN]:
Did you scrape off the two bottom pads on either side of the connector and then shove the streak on? i found that mine didn't charge on either of the docks i got until i did this because the connector wasn't making contact.
[Streak 5 Accessories] jfvidalc:
I had the same problem with mine, and when I used a different usb cable, the problem went away.
[Streak 5 Accessories] GeorgijSapkin:
Anyone found a way to order one to Europe?

One of our American friends willing to help out?

I see at least 3 or 4 of us want at least 1 each.

Therefore I'm willing to pitch in for an extra for the helper as a gift? ;)
[Streak 5 Accessories] nochancenine:
I just got mine and it is true that it doesn't have direct support on the back and is held up solely by the male PDMI. There is currently a rubber pad that exists behind there, but it's thin and doesn't reach the Streak to hold it in place. Has anyone tried adding something there to add backrest support?
[Streak 5 Accessories] xilpaxim:
Apparently the seller caught on because suddenly the price is $2 more. So, 1/3 the price of the real dock, for half the functionality. Not bad still.
[Streak 5 Accessories] [SMAN]:
I added some extra padding, it seems fine to me. it still needs a higher back if you really want it to be sturdy.
[Streak 5 Accessories] nyyankees2k3:
I bought this from the eBay seller.. wish I bought another before price went up..

I went ahead and took apart the entire dock, took the board out and screwed it on a piece of wood. I then put some backings on the wood. So now my phone with my Otterbox impact case sits on it, like it's own dock.

It's a little ghetto looking, but it works pretty well.
[Streak 5 Accessories] [SMAN]:
Can you post some close up pics of the boards and the chips inside? I'm curios to see if this can be hacked together to add some functionality.
[Streak 5 Accessories] nyyankees2k3:
Here are the request pictures of my set up..

If you guys are thinking about doing what I'm doing.. honestly this simple design works really well, at first I tried to make it complicated and put side walls and front wall and it was too hard to put on there.. this one is works the best I found.

I used my streak to take the photos and am honestly impressed by the close up quality. The camera does a great job of focusing.
[Streak 5 Accessories] gpmg762:
Good job. I ordered 2 docks and will try something with one for a car mount.
[Streak 5 Accessories] Keethos:
Lol, that is a bit getto ain't it, nice job :D

Can someone see if an OTG USB (host) adaptor works with this dock so you can like plug a keyboard or something?
[Streak 5 Accessories] xilpaxim:
I'm thinking, if you just take the top part off the dock, then cut out the bottom of the business card holder (picture attached) and put the dock through there, you would both have a better connection between the dock and Streak and also a nicer more stable backing. Got the business card holder at Office Max for about $3.00

No idea why my picture link didn't work. Here is a link to the holder on Office Max website
[Streak 5 Accessories] springah:
dude. effing awesome.
[Streak 5 Accessories] nyyankees2k3:
Good idea with that business card holder.. I'm going to pick one up after the Christmas holiday's since the stores are too crowded now.
