uninstall marketplace and marketplace bootstrap in your settings menu. then download marketplace cab and reinstall. I have to do this probably once a month on my phone, this is my only problem with mine. if you need help finding marketplace cab just let me know.

HI guys

I have tried wifi and data connection. I just recieve an error msg.

Could anybody help me with that
[Streak 5 General] over2land:
After a month or so of playing around with Android ported to my Tilt, the old lady was at Best Buy today and found their sale and pulled the trigger on a pair of Streaks. Despite my best efforts, she still keeps all of her contact information on her SIM card, not in Outlook sync'd with Activesync. She is worried about putting her SIM in the Streak and losing all her contact info. I'm traveling right now, so I can't do it for her, and walking her through the sync process to back up her Xperia is a non-starter over the phone.

Long story short, will the Streak, running the ATT 1.6 wipe the contacts off her SIM or will it give her an option to upload them to the phone (and hopefully, then, her Gmail account)? I'm leaning towards the import option... or worst case, just access them like her Xperia does now. But if I tell her to do it and she loses the contacts the last backup I made was like 2 years ago when I gave her that Xperia. If she loses 2 years of updates I'll never hear the end of it.

So am I safe in telling her to go ahead, or should she wait till I'm there? I need an easy way for her to do it on her own because backing it up to Outlook, saving the contact files one-by-one, and then importing to Gmail isn't something she will do. And in the week or so till I see her again, she's got two brand-new Streaks and a faulty Xperia. You can imagine the temptation lol.

Oh, and I did search, but didn't find that particular answer.

Thanks.
[Streak 5 General] ronj1986:
She can insert her sim in the Streak. It will not remove anything(contacts,text messages) off of the sim card. She can then import her contacts from the sim into the Streak & back them up using Gmail. I'm not sure the steps to import contacts on 1.6 though.

Using 2.2 on Streak you go to Contacts app-> press menu on Streak->then there is an icon that says import/export-> you press that-> then choose to import contacts off sim. See if that helps on Android 1.6.
[Streak 5 General] over2land:
Thanks Ron, I'll pass that along.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Margaliini:
As I'm curious I'd like to know which partitions does a full rom flash (PDA, MODEM, CSC, Re-partition) in Odin re-writes?

Of course I know the /efs-folder won't be erased if you've got unmarked the efs clear -checkbox (and if so, does it get backed-up and restored during the backup?), but do ALL the other stuff on the memory get wiped out and replaced with a fresh one from the flashable ROM?
[Streak 5 General] dellstreakguy:
Hi. This might be a dumb question, but i couldnt find the answer. Can a boostmobile sim card be used in an unlocked Streak?
[Streak 5 General] Nate90:
I would say no it will not because Boost mobile uses iDEN network which supports the walk talky feature on boostmobile. I had a Motorola Clutch from boostmobile and tried to use the sim card in my Unlocked Nokia 5800 and it wouldn't work because GSM sim cards are different from iDEN sim cards and they are different networks. What I did after that was go over to T-Mobiles even more plus plan which is a no contract plan like boostmobiles is and for $50 a month i got 500 minutes and unlimited texts and data and since T-Mobile is GSM, the sim card will work in just about every sim card phone since most of them support GSM.

Sprint is phasing out the iDEN network and I think boostmobile is the only carrier that is actually using it. I hope this helps and I would recommend switching to T-mobiles even more plus plan if you want a contract free plan and want to be able to use any unlocked GSM phone that you want. You just have to call t-mobiles customer service and they will set you up and send you a sim card with in the 1-3 business days. If you get t-mobile and get the unlocked dell streak you will not have 3G data speeds however. you will be stuck on 2G (edge) since it doesn't have the frequency for t-mobiles 3G connection.
[Streak 5 General] dellstreakguy:
Hey thanks a lot. I'll be switching to tmobile soon enough.
[Streak 5 General] Nate90:
You're welcome. You can try and see if it will work but I doubt it will.
[Streak 5 General] tmotytn:
The answer is no.

An IDEN sim will not work in a GSM device.

Or vice versa.

Don't waste your time.

[General Questions and Answers] Elizaks:
I am very new to this, and I have a Vibrant, that is rooted. It's worked fine for a while rooted, so I don't think that is the problem. Today it started running really slow, my emails were not sending nor was I receiving any. I would take pics, and they would not show up in my gallery. I finally found them on the files directory, but they were not showing in the gallery, or if they did it was with a long delay. I finally decided to factory reset my phone hoping that would resolve the issue. I did, and it's not any better. I'm trying to download some apps, it's taken a couple of hours to download about 5 apps. Several downloaded completely, and then never showed up on my phone. Some eventually downloaded and are working. I'm getting emails again, but the phone is still very slow. I have no idea what to do at this point, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

[General Questions and Answers] eeforme:
I'm on the fence with these two models - and looking to purchase one for the holidays. The Fascinate interests me because with the right software, it could essentially be a Verizon Nexus S. Likewise, a DINC with AOSP 2.3 could be almost like a Nexus One. supercurio's Gingerbread for GSM Galaxy S is looking great, but I understand that without the Fascinate RIL, this may not happen (Samsung... :mad:). On the other hand, the Droid Incredible is older with a weaker Adreno 200, but r2DroidInc's Incredible Gingerbread is really taking off. Thoughts?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikevinnyii:
Instead of telling people "wrong thread" why not just help them. Go to the "Bible" in development thread download odin and stock jfd, once you downloaded those 2 run odin press PIT and click on the 512.pit file and for pda its the JFD you downloaded if you dont understand what im saying go look at threads of how to use odin back to stock its more detailed. Your phone itself has to be in download mode, easiest way since the 3 button dont work for some (like me) fully turn off your phone if it doesnt pull the battery out. Once its fully off press and hold the 2 volume keys and plug in the usb and your in the download screen and press Start for odin and your back at stock. (And now that I helped) next time post this into a Q&A or General thread so you dont get flamed. Good luck ;)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoofy123:
Is it possible to raise the process priority for the phone app? I've noticed that when the processor is under heavy load and I try to place a call it can take up to a minute between pressing the call button and the call to actually go through. Since this is a

phone

, after all, I would like the phone parts to take priority over whatever app happens to be hogging the processor at the moment. Can this be done?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Possible, probably not worth the trouble.

I've only discovered one tool that will change process priority, it is part of the SDK, which leads me to believe the process priority it written into the Java script for the program, the list of applicable code I found here. There is a somewhat easier alternative which I believe will help you with your desired end result, use the free Market app AutoKiller Memory Optimizer. It allows to control at what level of available memory the system will automatically kill a process based on the process class. The developer page has sufficiently detailed information about what each class is and there are varoius default settings as well it is fully customizable.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoofy123:
It seems that Autokiller Memory Optimizer came with my ROM (KaosFroyo). Any suggestions on what the optimal settings are? I see the listings on the developer website, but it seems like most people are just using the defaults (or maybe what the ROM set).
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrObvious:
Which ROM are you on? It doesn't lag making calls on XTRSense. It is slightly overclocked and runs good.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoofy123:
KaosFroyo. I have had this lag with every ROM I've tried.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrObvious:
Define what you mean by a heavy load and what you are doing to make it work hard. Our phones aren't high end at all and although it does run faster on these ROMs, it still can be choked.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoofy123:
Any process that slows the phone down. Installing a new app is a common culprit. I often don't know what it's doing because it's doing it in the background.

I am more than aware of the phone's limitations, but I think that, given that it is a phone, the phone's processor scheduler should ensure that the parts that make it function as a phone get highest priority, even to the point of totally stopping other processes.

One other thing I've noticed is that the lag is often correlated with the data indicator being active. I know that on CDMA the data connection can't be active during a call, so could it be waiting for the data connection to turn off? Is there a way to make this happen faster? For some reason this happens even when the phone is on wifi, but I'm not clear on whether the 3G connection is turned off when the phone is on wifi.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmxfelon420:
You can use Systempanel to see what processes are running. In my case Youtube, Maps, Google search, Pandora, and Shazam randomly start backup processes. I downloaded Autokiller to see if it keeps them ended. The only concern I have is I want to be reasonably sure it wont end the alarm process.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoofy123:
The thing is I don't particularly care about these processes running. Given the limited resources of the phone I think it is a fruitless task to try to keep it from ever getting slow and still enjoy all of the awesomeness of Android. I just want the actual calling parts to be able to take top priority no matter how slow the rest of the phone is running, just like most desktop OSes give the mouse high priority.

Noob here.

I'm having to make a financial decision and when my contract ends with Verizon in April, I'm going to switch to Straight Talk. I would love to afford the biggest and best, but I cant, so I'm having to go with something a bit less. My question is, has anyone been able to flash or convert their standard Verizon phone to work with Straight Talk? I'm wondering whether it be a regular phone, windows mobile/smartphone, or android, if anyone has been able to pull this off, and if so, how? I enjoy getting my phone and other devices to do more than allowed at original purchase and think this would be fun to do when I make the switch. Please let me know if anyone has done this and how. Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] jcmarx:
anyone with any info on this subject?
[General Questions and Answers] Terghan:
An issue like this requires a bit more than rooting, or 'unlocking' the phone. What your looking at doing is essentially jailbreaking the phone. This CAN be a complicated process.

I don't know for sure that whether or not there is an area in XDA committed to doing this. My suggestion at this point would be to google jailbreak (your phones name).

depending on the phone, this isnt always possible. On top of this, there are potentially features that your phone has that will not be supported once jailbroken.

Good luck. :P

EDIT: I should mention that, depending on the phone, you may not be able to do this. Certain phones REQUIRE that you have not only a talk plan, but a data plan as well. These are usually newer smart phones.
