[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marculous:
I ended up getting it all fixed up with a lot of help on irc. Meralias got me through the last parts, correct drivers and qdl. Then I had beta froyo, which I updated to official. Yesterday I finally got brave enough to try flashing one of dj steve s. glad I did.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krad:
it is a pain in the ass.

but follow the qdl.. the hardest part is getting the driver to work right. I had to reboot my pc twice to get it to register properly.

if you put it into that qualcomm mode and you hear a noise on your pc.. you are probably ok.

EDIT: THREAD OUTDATED, NO LONGER NEEDED

UPDATE: See post #5 - auto update market 2.2.7 !

Hello all, I am posting this so that people can have the newest FULL gapps package: market, maps, gmail, facebook, nav, etc, etc - this is not the tiny gapps 1213 that AOSP built, those can be found here or here. Jaybob413 created the zip for his rom - which is awesome - and I take no credit for either the rom or the gapps. All credit goes to jaybob413. These gapps are from his rom, which is CM6.1+, and they work on his rom. Since they are CM6.1+ they should in theory work for all CM6.1+ sourced roms, but I have not tested them on anything else. I do not intend to answer any questions, I am not a dev, and you should not ask him questions either, there is a Q+A section for that if you can't find help here. I am merely posting this to reduce all of the silly "where is the market?" and "how do I get the new maps?" threads that are currently clogging the boards. This is a flashable zip in recovery, and will of course overwrite your current gapps. The first link below is to jaybob413's rom thread OP so you can read it. The second link below is to jaybob413's mediafire account, so you can download the gapps (the old 1020 gapps are there too if you prefer). Good day.

If anybody is getting "unknown error 18" after trying to install apps, I think I finally found out how to fix it. It seems to be for apps that have the ability to install to SD, even if you are trying to install them to internal. If you simply unmount your sd card in settings (and for some it worked when they ALSO deleted the file .android-secure from the sd with root explorer, I didn't have to) - yes I said unmount - you should be able to install whatever you want. It looks like it's a google issue and they're working on it.
[Hero CDMA General] coppertop4646:
If I flash this package on my phone, will it overwrite my currents gapps?
[Hero CDMA General] il Duce:
Well of course, that's the point :) thanks for the question, it reminded me to edit the OP to answer this.
[Hero CDMA General] il Duce:
New info !!! The newest market is now 2.2.7, which many of you may know. If you go to a sprint stock rom (like nfx most recent), and update your profile and prl(also new as of 12/20) you will get an auto update from 2.2.6 to the newest 2.2.7 market !!!
[Hero CDMA General] garbonzo134:
so if i flash nfx sprint rom, install new market and prl/profile updates, nand back to cm6.1, will it keep all the new market and prl updates?
[Hero CDMA General] il Duce:
yes it will keep, and the market is an auto update, nothing you have to do yourself there :) sorry for the delay, haven't been on here for a few days.
[Hero CDMA General] MSK01:
If I flash this then take off the old gapps from my sdcard will everything still be on my phone?
[Hero CDMA General] il Duce:
If you flash this it will overwrite the old gapps, so you can delete the old 1020 gapps zip. Once you flash any zip in recovery it doesn't need the zip file to function after that because it's in the phone's system.

[Epic 4G General] apatcas:
why don't we do the same thing like the guys wil LG Optimus did? they posted questions all over their Facebook site and Twitter.... how about a group effort to do the same?
[Epic 4G General] othan1:
We've done that in the past with various phones. Samsung/Sprint just don't seem to care.
[Epic 4G General] apatcas:
Well let's do it again. These phones are Samsung's best sellers. We should be able to give them a run for their money. I didn't pay 500$ for an antiquity(YES i bought it).
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
Bought mine too - but it really didn't get anything solved for the 1.5 Hero kernel source - they still released it on their own schedule.
[Epic 4G General] apatcas:
you know im just impressed that this worked for LG and when i even suggest this here everyone just gives the **** up... i mean really? do you think it will hurt our chances to get an update? people are so used to taking **** and just eating it up.

nothing in this world will just coincidently land in your lap.

here's the link... http://www.facebook.com/SamsungGalaxyS

I asked. didn't hurt me to type. then again i actually fought for a lot of stuff in life.
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
Its not about eating he piles of utter bs they feed us with a snow shovel, its the simple fact that they will release it on their own internal schedule and unless your giving the project manager head under his desk 9-5 then the ammount you ***** about the update matters to them about as much as one of their 8 year old production line workers complaining that they are hungry or just lost a finger in a machine. Complain all you want, they have their cash now and they can do as they please. Now wether or not what they do is a good business decision for keeping and maintaining a happy customer base is a totally different situation. In all actuality the people on this and other SGS boards are in the minority, just audible enough to cause a fuss and make them release a generic statement that all public companies would that won't effect stock prices. The other 70% of customers couldn't give two air ****s what 2.2 is or what the hell kernel or source actually mean othe than popcorn and original copy.

Now as far as it working for LG. You show m where they said "no you can't have it" and then said "ok well you *****ed and threatend law suits enough here it is" I may believe that they actually released it based on consumer pressure and demands, other wise they did the same thing every company does. Develop a product, change their mind 7 times a week, finally get something that is "ok" but in all reality is mediocre because of the politics involved internally, test it, fix it, lather, rinse, repeat as necessary, release to the customer and in the process shut the people up who are *****ing and won't be happy even when its done because someones $15 dollar sub standard blue tooth headset won't pair or an app in the market that used to work fine fcs now.

[Epic 4G General] Top Nurse:
Like I've said before: Sprint has people deliberately "leak" updates to quiet down the tech crowd by throwing them a bone now and again. We also do their beta testing for them on a large scale. Do you think that Sprint engineers don't comb these boards for good ideas?

Sent from hell...
[Epic 4G General] ecooce:
Ofcourse they do,thats buisness...And the real reason 2.2/2.2.1 didnt come out sooner,work really didnt start till about a month and a half ago,and there is still no real rush.Have you noticed how many EVO commercials are on tv now,and pretty much no more epic commercials.Its because they need to sell as many of those phones as possible for reasons unknown.But there is a big push to sell those phones.Yes they held back on 2.2 to patch some things in 2.2.1,mostly root,but that was like 3 days extra work at most.

I just received my dock from Expansys, and I gotta say, it is awesome. I cannot find any bad points about it, the phone fits nice and the base of the cradle is very solid.

I recommend!
[Desire HD Accessories] Soyish:
Oh, that is a good looking cradle :D Does it include an usb cable?
[Desire HD Accessories] Mojo Fones:
Nice looker, does it come with a charger? Also any chance of a quick video? :D
[Desire HD Accessories] Burning_aces:
Gah I want one that will fit the otterbox commuter case with it. :(

Looks like a universal dock it is.
[Desire HD Accessories] jkoljo:
Nope, does not come with a charger. I ordered a 3m micro usb cord with it, works fine. It is always connected to my computer.

I can shoot a video, maybe tomorrow :)

I need some dock for DHD but I have silicon case on DHD, do someone know some dock for it?
[Desire HD Accessories] saquib:
I've had this since release day, it appears to be excellent in all respects apart from not being about the mount the sd card as a usb disk. If I connect my phone directly to the usb cable this works fine, however, when via the cradle cannot see my sd card.

Are you having the same issue?
[Desire HD Accessories] FitzysN6:
Mine works fine ??
[Desire HD Accessories] quarintus:
I ordered the same. But I will never order one again, atleast, not at expansys. I never had such a bad customer service. The product is good. (the dutch site says it comes with a cable, but it doens't, the english site says it doesn't come with one).

It's very stylish and stable, but hell no. What A pain to get that thing send to me.

I want another dock for work, so I'll ook elsewehere. I like the one with the 3,5 mm jack out.
[Desire HD Accessories] Mojo Fones:
Thanks for the video jkoljo, it looks like good quality and a nice fit.

[Desire HD Accessories] fana05:
hey quick question since i hate wall chargers. coming from a blackberry that just had to sit in its cradle to charge without any plugging in of some micro usb end whatsoever, does this cradle allow for easy sliding in/on and out or do you basically have to yank it out like the male connector of the wall charger that sits extremely tight in the micro usb port? I'm always afraid of breaking off/bending that thin thing sitting inside the micro usb port. Not only does it look easily breakable, i've seen it break on other phones before
[Desire HD Accessories] saquib:
I have brand new one available for sale, advertised in the Marketplace http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=899525
[Desire HD Accessories] jkoljo:
fana05: It is not as tight as the wall charger, but the device will definitely not fall out the dock if you turn it upside down. The dock has nice edges that go around the device, so I think that it is not very easy to break the connector.
[Epic 4G General] zeravla531:
Hey, i want to know if anyone else can confirm this.

I noticed the past 2 days my battery was draining really quick (i usually have great battery life). Using Spare Parts i noticed the phone wouldn't sleep.

I was wondering what was causing this, and then i realized both yesterday at some point and today i received a message through Facebook chat.

I then went into the chat and went offline.

I then went back to Spare Parts and noticed my phone slept again like it's supposed to.

Can anyone else confirm that this also cause their phones to remain awake 100% of time?

Again, it only happened to me once i received a message, simply being logged into chat didn't seem to do anything.
[Epic 4G General] Orbiting234:
You weren't alone in noticing this. When I first updated to Facebook 1.5.0 I too noticed that my battery life went straight to ****. Although I never never used the Chat part of the Fb client, I guess it was still always running. Before dumping the update and going back to 1.4.1, I had done the same thing you did: go to chat and select "go offline" and my battery life in the days since has been relatively back to normal.
[Epic 4G General] robstunner:
Same problem here, i didnt know about the go offline thing till now lol. I just downloaded task panel for the sole purpose of killing facebook. looks like i wont need it after all. Thanks for the tip!

Facebook chat on my phone helped me get lucky last night so I'm willing to sacrifice the battery life at this point.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] maddy_in65:
I had bought tab 4 days and played a lot with it. This is my first android device, so i am total noob about it. I have used nokia and apple mobiles before.

I have seen some good homescreen here and would like to customize my tab. I have searched here but cant find anything for me. Please anyone write-down some general customization methods, it would be great for newbie like me.

I have downloaded some good apps and launcher pro from market. I am not able find how to customize it. I am not able to find good themes for Tab, is there any good themes for it.

I really like the weather widget on HTC devices, how should do i customization like this.

Please bare me if i asked something wrong.

Hello!

I have the HTC Desire (Amoled), was taken root, has been installed firmware LeeDrOiD. Checking for updates is disabled. At one point the phone in a shirt pocket reboot, and ... Booting hangs at boot logo. When you start the recovery - the same screen boot logo.

At the same time received:

BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-ON

HBOOT-0.93.0001

Tried to flash all of the available WWE RUU, just tried to flash through PB99IMG.zip. Regardless of the success / failure load firmware, the result does not change - then boot logo is not loading, recovery is not available.

Read many threads about brick, boot loop - everything is solved through firmware RRU. In my case it does not help.

Has anyone encountered similar? Are there any solutions (apart from the service center)?

[Desire General] moxel:
Without gold card posibble make PB99IMG.zip method?
[Desire General] MasDroid:
Yes it is possible. You would need another phone that accepts a MicroSD card or use a USB card reader (if you have one)/Laptop card reader. Upon purchasing your SD card, did you not receive a MicroSD card adaptor? simply place the MicroSD card into that, then insert into your laptop card reader. Then follow the steps for creating the Gold Card tool in my sig below.
[Desire General] shawe_ewahs:
You can do a GoldCard using Mac, Linux or Windows with a Card Reader.

But i can't turn on my phone.

[ATTENTION] do not even go near the "custom" rom posted today here, it is fake and ma

im gutted been waiting for months to have some customisation on my mini pro and then this guy comes along having basically pirated a CyanogenMod style rom full of pirate apps and non working markets etc. i may be wrong but the irc chan guys seem to think not either so i have reported the spanish thread and left the english one to flame the guy for his stupidity
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] projectsome:
Have you or anyone tested the rom to verify this? While a new rom with extra would be great, I wouldn't want to waste time downloading something that didn't improve my phone but on the other hand I'd like several people to give an opinion after installing the rom to verify it works or doesn't work.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] neo6776:
Ive got it on my phone just now and while the OP is correct, it is full of pirated apps but with its JIT enabled the bloody thing flies lol.

Marketplace is fine for me so far.

I must admit im a bit disappointed as well and will be reverting back to my old backup for now till something better comes along.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Tweekay:
I tried it too, and finally restored to do same modifications myself, due to some bugs : physical keyboard in qwerty (was AZERTY, impossible to come back), no more Sym/àü, ...

Done in 2 hours.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] neo6776:
I actually went back to his ROM due to the speed difference.

I also installed Titanium Backup to get rid of some of the crap he installed which cant normally be uninstalled.

I use Fancy Widget Pro but the Taskiller hes installed keeps killing it :mad:

You need the Titanium Pro version though to uninstall stuff.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ricanta:
You can download the Titanium Pro using the Applanet, but yes, it's warez...

Or you can uninstall the Taskiller using the Root Explorer (just go to system/app and remove the app you don't want).

Or you can add the Fancy Widget Pro to the list of exceptions of the Taskiller.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] neo6776:
Problem is there was no taskiller icon in the menu so wasnt possible to open it up to add it as an exception..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ricanta:
Try adding an icon of the Taskiller to a dock of the Launcher Pro. That's what I did.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] neo6776:
Good idea, never thought of that lol

No matter anyway as i uninstalled it :D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Contrarian:
or use advanced task killer, which lets you put it on ignore.

You can also improve speed, as well as battery life, by deleting a lot of the "sony ericsson" crap found under "backup" when opening titanium. Additionally, delete SE's "home" if you don't use it and any language packs under "system/user/keyboard-config" and "system/usr/zi"

I've also erased bluetooth, GPS, maps and text to speech (since i don't use them) without any problem.

Other tips for saving space -

Delete unecessary ringtones, alarms etc... under system/media/audio

Delete unecessary wallpaper from system/etc/customization/content/com/sonyericsson/homescreen/wallpaper

Delete boot animation (sorry, can't remember where this was)

Of course this isn't for averyone but personally I like a slimmed down, respnsive phone

So, I was about to buy this phone and use it on At&t in the US, but as I was looking at the ebay listings, I noticed that some of them stated that It does not work GSM with at&t.

I'm not very tech savy, but I find hard to believe that such an advanced phone would have this problem. Can anybody that tested it, shine some light on this for me please?

Thank you
[Milestone 2 General] evilp8ntballer7:
It has the hardware to support it but it's the software that verizon has locked down to not work with any other carrier in the USA

In normal gsm phones you simply need an unlock code for the phone to work with any other carrier then the one it's meant to work with but in this case even after you give the phone the unique code it still won't work with att or Tmobile in the USA so we are looking to see how to disable the lock on USA bands on the phone but it seems not many people have made much progress
[Milestone 2 General] aLiTo:
Thanks for trying to help, but that is not what i'm asking

I know it works, but everybody says it doesn't work on 3G, just on EDGE.

here's the response I got from an ebay retailer

"This version will work on the AT&T GSM network, however, will not work on the 3G network, only edge.

Best regards,

Communication Telecom International "
[Milestone 2 General] evilp8ntballer7:
AT&T uses 850Mhz and 1900Mhz for the 3G frequency bands and it does support it in the hardware as I was saying, its just that nothing at this point will work not even EDGE because the USA lock overrides anything AT&T uses.
[Milestone 2 General] IslesFan:
You are confusing the Droid 2 Global with the Milestone 2. Two different phones here.
[Milestone 2 General] evilp8ntballer7:
the milestone2 should have the right hardware to connect to att 3g sorry for the confusion
[Milestone 2 General] droidbandunlock:
The Droid 2 Global and Droid Pro also have the hardware to support US GSM bands but it has been disabled in the radio. This is not software, so to speak, but rather hardware configuration.

If you know where to look you can fix this problem.

;)
[Milestone 2 General] IslesFan:
feel like sharing?
[Milestone 2 General] evilp8ntballer7:
i think he is messing look at the username.
[Milestone 2 General] leobg:
Don't hijack the thead!

OP asked about Milestone 2, not Droid 2 Globlal.

So - to address OP's question - yes - Milestone 2 currently on sale in most places is the EMEA model (Europe/Middle East/Asia), which has 900 and 2100 W-CDMA bands only.

Based on the official page from Motorola here, Milestone 2 A953 has a version with W-CDMA 850/1900/2100 MHz which are the bands used primarily in the Americas (850 and 1900) and Australia (850/2100). There was an article the phone is coming to Argentina before Christmas, so it may start showing up quite soon.

If you want US 3G support from Milestone 2, you have to wait for one of these to emerge. Sure enough it will not have any restrictions against US GSM/WCDMA operators (MCC 310) like the Droid 2 Global (currently) does.

[Milestone 2 General] Angdroid:
Those bast*rds!!! How dare they know what the value is and not give it away for free!!!

I am just kidding :D

People sell unlock codes all the time for like 15 bucks so should be no problem for people that have to pay for this exploit...wonder if it is the same one I found :D
[Milestone 2 General] droidbandunlock:
This may not be the best thread to continue this discussion. My apologies for the hijack.

I am most interested in seeing what you have found, but from what little reading I have done in your threads it appears you are working in the system only and not modifying the radio.

If that is the case, then our exploit has nothing in common with yours.

Do you have any evidence of it working with US GSM bands on AT&T or T-Mobile?

Perhaps we should start another thread, but we will not be revealing the precise nature of our method for obvious reasons.

Our method makes no changes to the system and leaves no trace of itself anywhere that can be accessed on the device itself beyond the ability to use the US GSM bands.
