Try to set your visibility status on the full site. There is an on and off button in the chat section of the full site. Test if it works with your friend first.

[Captivate General] ccdoggy:
Because our captivate has the power and headphone jacks on the top it would be great to be able to have it rotate all the way around.

Weird, yes. But it would make it easier on the plugs and cables if it could go upside down into a phone/gps holder for in car navigation.

Is there any reason our phone does not do this? worth while suggestion to some devs?
[Captivate General] XGX5309:
LOL. I could do that on my old Moto Backflip with Android 2.1, so it's possible. It was pretty useful at those odd moments.

Another thing I'd like is the ability to have the video player rotate 180deg, so that it can be held with the headphone jack on the right side while playing video.
[Captivate General] TheEscapist:
You can in CyanogenMod. I think Samsung took it out for some reason, and that's why none of the custom roms have the option.
[Captivate General] hkk:
Old location of Charging port

I have always wondered - why would Samsung put the power connector at the top? What's the benefit compared to putting it at the bottom or side? Connecting a car charger is a pain because of that.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
Probably because their dock has the connector on the left, so when you lay the phone on its side you slide it in.

It is all relative - I hated the iphone port on the bottom - your phone is "upside down" when resting on the seat, or in a cup holder.

[Streak 5 Android Development] diffstyle:
The embedded froyo 2.2 that comes with qdl too, does that work perfectly fine and flawless with AT&T dell streak? or are there some things that just don't work on there?
[Streak 5 Android Development] zyonuf79:
I have an ATT Streak and used QDL with no issues. After playing with it for a while, I took the plunge and upgraded to DJ_Steve's Streakdroid 1.5.1

If you want the best from your device...I suggest you do the same, but make sure you do your homework....search is your friend!
[Streak 5 Android Development] jeremyritzmann:
Meh I havent rolled to the sreakdroid rom yet lol. Im still rocking out the stock. And I think its fairly smooth.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Doctor_Watson:
Used the stock software for a while and thought it was decent. Went to DJ Steve's 1.5.1 and realized how misguided I actually was. It turned what I thought was a worthless device on 1.6 and a decent device on 2.2 to absolute phone/tablet nirvana on DJ Steve's 1.5.1. I will never use AT&T stock software ever again for any purpose. It's shameful that they can spend such massive amounts of time with the resources they have and only come up with that while DJ Steve can work in his free time and come up with something that rapes AT&T development. Shameful.
[Streak 5 Android Development] ccb04:
I think 2.2 is pretty decent tho your comment makes me want to try Steves. I just don't know how to install a recovery on the streak to do a backup. Also wanting to OC but cant since I dont have a recovery installed yet. Someone Plz help with installing the recovery :(
[Streak 5 Android Development] tmotytn:
certainly not trying to defend the Death Star here, but thought I might correct your thinking...

ATT doesnt make roms
[Streak 5 Android Development] robroy90:
Perhaps not, but they sure are damn good at delaying them, and then removing features (tether) and then making up for it with useless bloat that sometimes can't be removed without cooking up your own ROM anyway...

F U AT&T

I am just glad I took the plunge with the QDL method and didn't wait for the "official" from them. It has been pushed back to January now. I am using the "stock" 2.2 and not sure I am going to Steve's, even though I appreciate his efforts VERY much.
[Streak 5 Android Development] dbjungle:
QDL is automated? Sounds good. Does your GPS work on AT&T? Specifically with navigation in Google Maps.
[Streak 5 Android Development] p51d007:
Use QDL, then update from 309 (which is what is on qdl?) to the 318 version, which for me was much faster than 309
[Streak 5 Android Development] carhigh:

[Streak 5 Android Development] rrackman:
Is your bluetooth voice dial working in 318?

I have updated to the posted 2.2 (318) rom and everything went perfectly. I originally updated with QDL first and then to 318 (QDL put on a strange build I could not locate in searches).

Everything is good (I don't like stage ui thought), Except. . . the bluetooth dial app does not "hear" anything or it is just plain broken. I can use voice dial with the phone alone, but if I connect the bluetooth and do the long press (Jawbone Icon) to get to voice dialing, it starts up and either crashes (force close) or it sits there "listening" until it times/errors out.

The error is LogService has stopped working process (com.oem)

I have seen posts on other forums from people with different phones having the same issues but NO fix or work around.

It seems to me it must be something in the hook between the bluetooth service and the voice dial app.

Maybe someone has found a fix or a working replacement for voice dial that works over bluetooth, assuming its the app and not the bluetooth services.:confused:

sad owner of Dell Streak Droid 1.6 now happy 2.2 thanks to XDA Dev

I was ready to return my streak back to bestbuy until a friend of my show me this site. he uses an HTC so he is very good at Droid, Im a newbie by the way. Just switch from iPhone 4 to Dell Streak and Im not coming back. I was tired of waiting for Dell update so we decided to try to get the 2.2 from UK and Oh! man, we were amaze how this new software works on my Streak. I love it!

[Streak 5 Android Development] p51d007:
Glad you kept it! I was pretty happy with 1.6, but when at&t/Dell opted to "delay" the 2.2 update (I think it was more at&t than Dell), I said screw it, let's give it a try. Updated to v309, then got v318 on and it's like a completely different device!

[Streak 5 Android Development] br4nd0nh347:
I've heard some people have had battery problems, wireless problems etc with 318. What is FC?
[Streak 5 Android Development] Spectre51:
FC = forced close meaning an app crashed. I've had a much better battery on 318 than 1.6. The only wireless issue I have had is that the wifi will disconnect from the router and go back to 3g when the device sleeps sometimes. But I had this issue on 1.6 and on my nexus one with froyo. Disabling the wifi then re-enabling it brings it right back up.

You should be able to recover from almost anything, as long as you can get the phone in to download mode. If you can't get it in to download mode, it's a brick.:(

You shouldn't need any thing but the file from that thread. Download the file, put your phone in download mode, start Odin on your PC, connect the phone to the PC, and flash the file you downloaded with the PDA button.

Adrynalyne's all in one .tar should completely restore you phone to stock. You will need to root it again after wards if you want root again.

Well download it again to make sure that it's not corrupted. And try again.

Your phone should be fine. Either that or try the CWMrecovery from the ClockworkMod/Rom Manager thread.

Next time... Please do not flash anything that is not specifically labeled as DI01 or DJ05.

Also, can you get into Recovery?

Because if you can, you should wipe and flash a DJ05 Rom.

Okay, so I have a major annoyance. I just bought a brand new Kingston 32 GB class 6 card for my Evo and I'm getting transfer speeds under 1 MB/sec on Win7 x64 Pro. For instance, I was transferring some video files from my 10k RPM drive via the stock cable and was getting 668 KB/sec. I had Vista and I'd get 7+ MB/sec transfers on a 4 GB class 6 card. What gives?

[Android Software Development] benjymous:
Chromium OS is not android in the slightest!

If you want to play with Android on your PC, there are two ways you can run it:

A) Install the emulator - this is pretty slow, but gives you a phone-in-a-box you can play with

http://www.androidguys.com/2010/12/15/android-emulator/

B) Use Android x86 - a port of Android that runs on PCs

http://www.android-x86.org/

(Grab the generic iso from here: http://android-x86.moonman.dk/old/)

Now either burn that to a cd, and boot from that, create a bootable usb stick with http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ or install it in a VM like VirtualBox
[G Tablet General] napoleon solo:
100% agreed...
[G Tablet General] rcgabriel:
As long as they release the kernel source, I don't really care whether Viewsonic recalls all their G Tablets or not. Because I am 100% certain there will be lots of other Tegra 2 tablets which will ship with updated firmware, which will give us a base image for Gingerbread and for Honeycomb down the road. As long as there's somebody willing to compile kernels and glue a kernel into the ROM images from very similar devices, well, we'll be just fine here and the G Tablet will continue to provide us with plenty of useful life over the next few years.
[G Tablet General] bionaraq:
From what I can see from an earlier thread about a poster mentioning using the fact that several of the abilities the gtablet has on the cover do not work out of the box to return the tablet without having to pay the restocking fee. I believe that Sears and Staples are sending the units back to viewsonic and demanding that the touted abilities actually do in fact work before they get them back. (this can only help the tablet unless Viewsonic decides to give up.)

I really hope it stays around, Bought one for the wife, now I want one. (I got a nook color that behaves even worse out of the box. but I figure i'll root/rom it until it does work as the smaller size is definitely more portable.)
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
Even if Viewsonic were to give up I don't see our tablet caring much. The Zpad firmware works pretty well, the VegaN that I am running now is working very well, and TnTLite works pretty well.

I feel for the customers that bought this and are not techies. I recall the first time I turned mine on it was a barrage of force closes. Everything you touched would force close. It took a factory reset from the settings menu to make it stop. Flash was non-existent, clock had amnesia on wakeup, wifi lost it's mind.... If I was a regular customer I would have been PO'ed... Not known what to do, and it would have gone back with a "I will NEVER buy another Viewsonic product ever" mentality.

If all the above had not occurred out of the box this tablet may have been kept by more people. I'm sure lots of folks would have been plenty happy if it just worked. Most would not have known the real potential that was being strangled by the software overlay, and most would not care.

I think the biggest issue has to do with how things are sold in this country nowadays. Back when America made things, they had control of them. They touched them, tested them, and had a lot of pride in making sure they sold a good product. Viewsonic gained it's reputation by selling one of the best products.

This tablet is not made by Viewsonic. I don't really know how much Viewsonic had to do with it besides just signing on to have there name on the device in hopes of name recognition boosting sales. It reminds me of how companies sign athletes to endorse crappy products in hopes people will buy it because of the name. That is going to bite a lot of companies in the behind. Unless my perception of how American companies desire to do business is completely wrong then this path needs to stop.

Everything seems to need to be done as fast as possible, and with profit being the main goal. Who cares if it is the best.. Who cares if it could be better.. Just get it out there and make money.. Support? Why should we support our product? Why should we put a restore image online? Why should we update our website with info that might help folks understand what is being done about the issues?

This same stuff is happening with lots of companies. Sylvania is another example of the outsourced spin off type of product, there are many others.

I think we deserve better, and if a company has to have there rear end handed to them to figure out that quality, and customer satisfaction still counts then so be it....
[G Tablet General] Stuccohead:
If and I mean if VS decided to bail on the gtablet I would think they open the source code to the community. This is a great device.
[G Tablet General] Alpha06:
At this point it doesn't matter, even if viewsonic abandons it.

It's a reference tegra 2 device for current app developers in the states (at least that's how I see it), we have badass roms for it, the advent vega is getting 2.3 which is easily ported...so it's all good.
[G Tablet General] Mojav:
No mystery

Nice posts. But there is no mystery that VS is getting these back. It's about their profit from sales of a marketable product. Whether this tablet goes the wayof the Edsel is immaterial to us afficianados but its still been a good ride. I think other tabs may sink us but so what.

It's still fun.

Mojav:):)
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
here's my take on it, and what they need to fix for Joe Consumer

I can readily guess why these are going back, and a Staples rep I talked to actually mentioned that same thing. The stock firmware is bad.

But I don't mean just the Tap N' Tap UI, I mean the boot loops and FC's that occur. We've all seen them, even on TnT Lite. There is some instability that I am convinced has to do with how these devices were imaged.

Here's the problem -- here in XDA, we have clockworkmod and a great community to get us around those issues. But Joe Consumer has neither (unless they search on their own). And due to TnT's stupidity, they can't even download an offline update to at least attempt to fix the problems. Think about it...you're a user with a reboot loop, so you call Viewsonic for help. What can they do? There's no way to wipe the cache, wipe user data or even re-flash the device using the standard tools. It's insane.

What they need to do ASAP is deploy a firmware update that 1) can be run offline with a microSD card and 2) has a more enhanced recovery like clockworkmod to at least give the user the ability to wipe the user data or cache. And, if the user doesn't have a microSD card, they should send them a 1GB card, preinstalled with the recovery image, at no charge. I think it's an absolute requirement I hope VS are reading this and rip their TnT devs a new arse to fix this debacle before they give up on the device completely.

Still, worse case scenario is that we lose VS support but still have the zPad and Vega to look at, even it we don't have source. We have options, at least.
[G Tablet General] juda222000:
I just got my g tab and am having all the issues u described out of the box. Internet crashes,WiFi dropping, force closes and all, did u just do the restart and it fixed everything? If so how do I do that and if u did more, what else do I have to do? I love my tablet and think it so much better than my friends ipad, but the issiues do bother me.....but I'll never return it, just want to fix it :)

Thx in advance
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
When I got my very first device (before TnT Lite existed), it was terrible. Lots of FC's, and at least twice it rebooted on me for no reason and wiped my user data. As I recall, doing a manual data wipe helped but it was never really fully stable until I wiped it with nvflash (the bekit image).

Since then, they only time I've ever seen major instability is either when testing mods, which is understandable, or going back to stock.
[G Tablet General] juda222000:
Apologies,is that an app I can download out of the market? sorry still a newb... and what mod do u use that makes it run so well now? Is that what nvflash is?
