How can I see what recovery I am running?
[Nexus S General] nxt:
Did you change it? If not you're running the stock original recovery!

Turn off phone.

Hold volume up button and power until you see the bootloader come up

Use the volume down button to go to Recovery, press Power to select it.

It'll boot to recovery. If it's stock recovery, you'll see a triangle with an exclamation point.

Press up+power real quick. You'll see the stock recovery.

If it's not stock recovery you'll see whatever recovery you have with the version number on the bottom.

Hi guys,

I have an unlocked Rogers captivate (eclair) and want to do the OTA update or even a Froyo ROM, and I want to know if the phone will get sim locked again?

I've searched the forum but can't find an answer.

Thanks.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Galactus:
Basically I've noticed that my headphones sound much clearer in Desire & HD builds where as in froyo based builds max volume either pops (or in cyanogen mods there loud but the bass sounds distorted).

Is it possible to copy any set of files from a desire build to a froyo build so that froyo plays music at the same quality as a desire build. Sorry if this is confusing. cheers ;)

[Desire HD Accessories] Utini:
Going to buy the DHD on monday and i read about troubles with the "slow" class 2 microsd card which comes with the DHD (like 720p recording isnt smooth enough).. should i get a 16gb class 6 sd card? or is class 4 enough? or is even the 8gb class 2 which comes with the DHD fast enough?

Thought about a Transcend 16gb class 6 (but its pretty expensive.. 56€ = ~65$ i think).. so maybe a cheaper (class 4 or class 2) is enough?

thanks
[Desire HD Accessories] O_G:
I have had no problems with the card provided. I find it hard to belive htc would supply a sd card that is not capable of using all features of the device. I am sure someone disagrees, your best bet is to stick with the one provided. If you do have any problems with the class 2, you can always try a class 4.

[Desire HD Accessories] Andy:
If anyone buys a higher class SDCard could you provide a mini review. I'm in the market for a well priced, but balanced with performance SDCard.

Reading manufacturer reviews is pointless, and inexperienced users are the same.

Anyone who can recommend a good/great SDCard will get my thanks, and maybe a thank-you donation.

I will let you know as soon as I get them :)

Please do, I much prefer a good user review to a standard "It works" review. Many thanks & Merry Xmas
[Desire HD Accessories] tmh:
My DHD came with an 8 GB class 4 Sandisk, so don't know if the included card varies, depending on where you buy it? Since you're talking about class 2 and all.

Anyway, I bought a 16 GB class 4 Kingston, the worst piece of crap I've ever had, corrupted data and apps on sd constantly and slow transfer speeds via USB. Don't know if that's just the way that card works with the phone, or if I got one from a bad batch. But anyway, now I'm waiting for a replacement Sandisk 16 GB class 2, hoping it'll do a better job.
[Desire HD Accessories] eozen81:
if we buy another sd card apart from the stock sd do we need to copy paste some folders which are spesific for some apps or the apps will recreate them in the new sd?
[Desire HD Accessories] leppie:
The one included with mine is only a class 2. (cant remember name now, sorry)
[Desire HD Accessories] dvhttn:
Copy the contents of the old sdcard to a folder on your pc. Then copy that to the new sdcard after formatting it. Just did this last night when I put in my new (Xmas pressie!!) 32GB card. I formatted the card first in the phone.

HTH.

Dave
[Desire HD Accessories] eozen81:
Thanks a lot Dave, so soft copy/paste for files & folders is enough for new SD card transition.

Good to know that. BTW Which SD card is your 32 GB, did you notice any speed improvements with your new SD?
[Desire HD Accessories] dvhttn:
It was for me. I actually formatted the card in my old Nokia E71, plugged the E71 into my PC and mounted the card. Then 'copy n pasted' the files over. Seems a weird way to do it but a) my SD to microsd adaptor card is b&ggered so had to use the (a) phone and b) I only have USB2 connectivity on my PC so copying the c. 25GB of music etc I have took several hours. Tying up the old phone was preferable to tying up my current DHD.

One thing though. I'd read that the best way to format an SD card was using 'sdformatter' from http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter/ .... which sounded like a good plan. However the formatted card couldn't be read on XP Pro SP3 PC. Hence why I formatted it on the Nokia. That worked a treat.

I got this one ... http://www.mymemory.co.uk/Micro-SDHC/MyMemory/MyMemory-32GB-Micro-SD-(SDHC)-Card---Class-4 .... Not noticed any speed improvements, though probably as I haven't used it much yet. To be honest the reason I got it was mainly to hold all my music so getting rid of an MP3 player. Any sd card is fast enough for that. I haven't checked out the exact feeds and speeds but I'm suspecting that any card is also fast enough for video/still shots as I haven't noticed any problem yet!

Cheers

Dave
[Desire HD Accessories] leppie:
I got the 8GB class 10 one (around $20 inc shipping, got here in less than 2 weeks), quick test show read speed to be 17.4MB/sec :) (looking for a decent app to measure write speed, preferably non destructive unlike the way HD Speed does)

As for the 32GB one. Think it was a scam, ebay removed page. Gonna wait a little, as it did have a shipping number before all the details disappeared, if it does not arrive, I will contest the $14 I paid for it.

Update: The 32GB one, not a scam, just arrived. Sandisk 32GB class 4, tested, all working :) What a bargain!

Its a big problem because you can actuall see the power go down, I was losing 1 percent about every 2-3 minutes, no lie! I was watching it all as it happened

[Streak 5 General] streak4m3:
The size factor is a hit or miss based on one's needs. A person that needs to consolidate most of their devices, still be portable enough to fit in a pocket, have great browsing experience, and a phone on top of that, should look no further as Streak will do all of those things. Only the people who actually used the device for a while and for it's true intended purpose (i.e. MID device) appreciate this unique concept.
[Streak 5 General] tmotytn:
+1 on the fanboy slant...

I read all the tech blogs when it comes to phones/pdas (most, anyway--who can keep up with all of them) and it seems like the only time Mossburg's name comes up is if it is an Apple product being reviewed.

I chose the Streak for two reasons. One, Android. Two, size. Apple cant compete with the Streak in either variable. If you like iOS, but need the bigger size, the iPad is too big and cant make calls. If you have used and become accustomed to Android's OS, then anything other than iOS is a step backward.

I would say that the Streak made it to the "top of the worst" list, because it is the ONE device that competes with both the iPhone and iPad. Not necessarily an iPhone killer, but possibly the first real "weapon" that can find a chink in Apple's armor...and of all the manufacturers out there, who woulda thunk it would be Dell?

"the iPhone 4, even with all the new competition and the antenna controversy, is "still the best overall smartphone," said Mossberg."

How can an iPhone be better when:

Must buy a case so you can hold it anyway to talk. FAIL

Have so many pixels and so little screen that you don't take advantage. I mean your finger aren't getting any smaller is it? I love the resolution but at 3.5 inch it is as useful as a 320x240 you can read perfect on ANY of the screens. again FAIL

You are in the middle of the day and for some reason your iphony has 1% battery left and all your mates are android users or even worst NOKIA... so no charger or usb cable what you do? ok buy a battery? NOT. you have to buy a 100$ expansion/case/battery whatever... FAIL

What if I want to put a BIG A55 analog clock on the home screen so my blind eyes can see the time properly? can I do that? FAIL...

Custom ROM? FAIL

Oh yes I'm moving to Antarctica they use CDMA can I use my iphone? FAIL

Well I did found out they don't use CDMA but use GSM can I just get a regular sim for it? FAIL

If I'm not using AT&T can i get price-raped for less please? FAIL

There is a huge list.

I can agree the streak can see a flaw on its size but most of the ppl that owns a streak is because of that.

[Streak 5 General] gasolara2002:
The biased factors is too much. I need to be a journalist then. Here is a real opinion. Why does the and how does the streak compete with the ipad? The streak is a mini tablet and phone hybridized into one device while the ipad is just a tablet (giant 3rd generation ipod touch). The streak was a head of its time. If anything i say the iphone 4 didn't meet expectations. I say the best device of 2010 has to be the EVO 4g and i'm not even on Sprints network. It works and works well. It suffers from no problems. Galaxy S= GPS problems. Iphone 4 = antenna problems. All i can say is Mossburg KYS (kill your self) twice.

I just don't understand why the Dell Streak is supposed to take on the iPad. iPad, like someone else mentioned, is really more meant for either home or office only use. You really don't want to travel with that thing, it is huge. If I feel like going to lunch, I'm not going to take an iPad, I'm going to take a connected phone, and the Dell Streak is the best alternative for that.

Of course, this guy is also reviewing the Dell Streak that is Android 1.6. Dell REALLY screwed the pooch with that, because everyone that has switched to Froyo knows how amazing this device is because of THAT.

[Streak 5 General] CyberGhos:
You all are Streak owners and trying to defend your devices that paid with your money. I got a Dell Streak from US Dell hoping to replace my 3GS but got to say Streak is very closed to a worst phone. It's a very laggy and buggy phone. The browser is slow. I missed almost all phone calls trying to wake the dan thing up. Compare to the 3Gs, the 3Gs is better by far. I paid almost $600 for the thing, but at the end got to go back and use the iphone hoping the next update will make my $600 device useable. Tell me what is in the Streak make it better than iphone 4 beside that 5 in size.
[Streak 5 General] gasolara2002:
Negative. I have an iphone 3gs and a Blackberry 9700 in my hands now. I will be a future streak owner but being around all kinds of phones i have to say the streak was the most interesting phone i have played with in a while. Froyo cut out the lag. I played with it recently and 4 months before and the difference was significant. I say the iphone 3gs is a good phone but with froyo the streak is superior even to the iphone 4. I'm not being a critic but i have to be real. Apple brings out a phone with a shotty antenna setup with an already mid grade to low quality cellular radio kind of took the phone out of the iphone 4. And to be fair the streak was laggy and the internet was slow when it was first released and the battery cover was hell to put on right. The difference is that apple hasn't fix their problems while dell has worked to fix their's. Like i previously stated. The EVO 4g is the best phone that came out on the U.S. market this year. It was revolutionary and it actually works like it was supposed to. I say Mossburg's review is bulls**t.
[Streak 5 General] HansTWN:
May I suggest you take a few simple steps and upgrade to 2.2? Read the simple solutions for the slider? Slow browser? Lol, it is as fast as on my laptop. Apart from the fact that the iphone can't even properly open most web pages -- no flash.

The Streak's problems have been fixed, Apple's problems are by design, they want to lock you in.
[Streak 5 General] checkbox111:
The one thing you can't get past being an iphone owner is how boring the iphone UI is. It's boring to look at, and even more boring to use. The same as an ipad: boring, boring, boooooooring.

To say the Streak is slow, when you tested them side by side, (which you obviously did owning both) try turning the Streak wifi on first and not using 3g!! that would be the only reason the Streak would be slower than an iphone.

Laggy? when you scroll left it goes left, when you scroll right it goes right, when you click on a app it opens, there's no lag in it. you can also scroll up and down!!!! by installing a few worthwhile apps, ADW, ADW EX, Laucherpro, all give the user UI improvements over the already better UI experience.

i units of any description are boring to pick up and look at, boring to use and eventually (after a couple of weeks) boring to own. You can never get past it.

I'm a current iphone4 user and I'm so fed up with apple and thier communists ways. Tell me what I can and cant have on my phone is BS.

Anyway I bought the streak on a trial from ATT and I can say on the 1.6 the streak gets killed by the iphone.

Also the evo can't touch the iphone. When you look at the 2 screens its insane the clarity difference, try all you want, you can't see an indiviual pixel.

The speed of the iphone is flawless, as fast as you can move your fingers is as fast as things move. there is a little lag on every android (incl 2.2) it's not as instentaneous as the iphone4.

I am trying everyway to like the streak better than the iphone4 (I am an X-HTC ADVANTAGE USER) I LOVE the big screen of the streak.

I WANT TO LIKE THIS PHONE SOOO BAD..
