[Streak 5 General] graemepark:
Hello All,

Merry Xmas.

I have just been comparing my brothers streak and mine, it appears that our camera interface is different. We are both running o2 Official Froyo, the only difference being that I have root.

Our interfaces look the same on the right hand side of the screen (ie all the options), however on the left hand side of the screen I have another bar the same colour as the right hand side, this bar has no options on and serves no real purpose other than hiding half of my visible picture! Is there a way to remove this, or a 3rd party camera app to install that has more features, options or anything more to offer.

Also, I see that 720p has been enabled on this update, is it enabled by default and does it increase your standard picture quality or just normal video? Again is there anything that I can do to improve quality or the delay time from pushing the capture button to taking the shot?

Thankyou all in advance and Happy New Year!!!!
[Streak 5 General] gordata:
If I am not mistaken. The 720p only affects your video.recording and not actual picture resolution. There is a setting for that under the camera option.

I think all is in the title but i'll explain a bit more.

Everytime i'd like to upgrade my apps from the market or from the blackmarket, i have a notification of fail after the end of the download process. What can i do?

If somebody has the answer please help me.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wdfowty:
You'd be better off asking this in the miui-dev forums, there is no official support for anything MIUI on xda, been stated a thousand times.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mike Blitz:
use titanium backup to uninstall the app, reboot, then get from the market

Basic stuff.

Not sure if this will work on MIUI...

Sometimes with CM if I encounter such error, I enter Rom Manager and execute "Fix Permissions", and it'll be fine afterwards.

Open up the Package Manager in your Android SDK directory and make sure you have tools checked.

(iirc, I don't have the SDK on this specific machine)

There's no reason you shouldn't be able to get ADB.

Can i update the OTA on a rooted Evo through Rom manager ?

I'm using the stock Rom Froyo 2.2

Should I update ? Do I need to update ?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weaselp1:
If you want to update, download a rooted stock rom and flash. If you already have a stock rooted 2.2, it isn't necessary to flash the new 3.70 release....the new release is just a sprint maintenance upgrade...you really wont see any new functionality.

[G Tablet General] Neudle:
Hello,

First want to thank everyone on this forum for the wealth of information and work you guys do. This is an outstanding site.

First saw the Gtab at staples around Thanksgiving and I was excited from the beginning. I've been wanting a tablet for a while but I did not want an iPad and 7 inch tablets didn't interest me. I knew my wife would most likely get one for me so I've been lurking around the site for almost a month now.

I'd like to point out that I have never used an Android powered device, not even looked at a smart phone in the store, so this OS is completely new and foreign to me. I still don't know what "side-loading" is, but I have learned a lot from the sight so far.

Out of the box nothing wanted to run. First thing I did was run the update and that made all the difference in the world. I'm really pleased with this device. It's responsive and easy to use.

The screen sensitivity seemed fine but I ran the calibration.ini/reboot routine anyway. I also managed to load Adobe flash which was far easier than I expected. It surprised me because I had no idea where I was supposed to copy the file or what I was to do with it when I got it on the tablet.

Anyway, again thanks to everyone for all the information. Hopefully soon I'll be able to figure out how to install new apps and even get an alternate system running. I really like this tablet, easy to use, fast and very responsive and that's running the stock system.

Side note: My wife has been messing with her bosses iPad and just last week she was trying to convince me to reconsider getting one. Now she's completely changed her mind. She thinks the Gtab is faster, smoother and more responsive than his iPad.

I can't seem to find a version of this radio

I tried fastboot flashing but kept getting an error

Any of u seen the version I'm looking for or can create a flashable version?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheek360:
Forget it. I figured out the issue. It wouldn't fastboot flash cuz I wasn't on the eng hboot. Ooops
[Venue Pro General] bernaserra:
I like this review, very informative and good to see that you did some testing.

Lol @ the fingernail testing, did you sharpen the nails first?

So are you keeping it?
[Venue Pro General] themadmen:
Thanks, for this Review. :D
[Venue Pro General] gshocker:
Great review there.. The one comment I would make about the camera is that for a phone coming out at the end of 2010 at this price the camera should be better. I used the HD7 for a bit and even with the pink hue of that one the camera on that phone is much better.. I hope this is something that Dell can address with updates and that it is not a hardware issue.
[Venue Pro General] lemonspeakers:
This one us definetly a keeper. I'm keeping it.;)
[Venue Pro General] FinalJenemba:
So can I take that to mean that you actually managed to scratch it in the end? *ouch*

Seems extreme for a forum review lol.
[Venue Pro General] lemonspeakers:
all the testing was done on a small scale so results aren't noticable if malignant. With the screen scratch test, after i knew pressure + scalpel didn't phase the screen (tested in the corner, of course), i went onto a large scale.

All other testing was done on a small scale but results should be indicative of a real situation.

My device still looks brand new as if nothing has happened to it!
[Venue Pro General] ft55555:
Are you serious? I've never seen a weaker flash. On my other phones, I can take a picture inside a small bathroom with the door closed and the lights off, and the flash will light up the room bright enough for the picture to seem like it was taken with the lights on. With the DVP it looks like there's a faint candelight providing the ambient light.
[Venue Pro General] citrix80:
very nice review. here are some comments:

I think the screen color is good enough. I never had phone with AMOLED screen, I compare it to samsung vibrant with super AMOLED, it about same.

the battery life is not great. I played with the phone for few hours with wifi on, use internet explorer, text, marketplace, the battery bar seem to fall from 100% to 75% in 2 hours.

is the grilla glass really tough? I dont think metal will not leave any mark on it. I dont want to risk it to try it.

they keyboard seem to be smaller than the on screen keyboard, I wanted this phone because of the keybord, this is first phone I tried with physical keyboard, when i actually the keyboard, the keys are squeezed together, it is better to take my finger nail to pin on it.

I have not seen and LED on the phone. where are they?

speaker is loud enough. I like that.

the WP7 OS interface is good, but I think it is flexible as old windows mobile, cannot install cabs, can only install apps from marketplace, no file explorer, task manager, no compass, no gps software.

everything else is good.
[Venue Pro General] lemonspeakers:
The glass is that tough. Trust me!

the LEDs are the sensor buttons itself. (Back, start, and search). It's super DIM and you'd probably only notice it in complete darkness.
[Venue Pro General] bbowman:
it would be cool to see a registry tweak to have the Windows logo/button flash and act as a notification LED when a new email/SMS/VM has arrived.
[Venue Pro General] SHAUN231:
Just curious lemon what would you use to clean the glass. and have you had issues where the screen just turns off and wifi issues where the phone freezes up
[Venue Pro General] enders4you:

[Venue Pro General] teels4feels:
LOL! Nice try enders. :P
[Venue Pro General] jfellows:
Actually, the info on the one photo says it was take with an HD7.
[Venue Pro General] enders4you:
I only used photoshop to resize the image . . . . so there is an OmniVision in my dell? What?

Here is another no compression this time . . . still using the first dell phones . . .

[Venue Pro General] notebookgrail:
Looks like the photo is legit unless the OP mod'd the Exif. My DVP also says OmniVision with the same model #.
[Venue Pro General] ft55555:
There has never been an issue with daylight pictures. They actually look pretty good. It's the low-light pictures that require a flash that have been problematic. The flash on this camera is just flat-out the weakest I've ever seen on a smart phone.

It's possible that it's just a poor design as opposed to a defective component. Check any other phone, and you'll see sort of a yellow "lens" with concentric circles that I believe serves to intensify the LED flash. The DVP, for some reason, lacks this lens. The LED is covered by a flat piece of clear plastic with some "grating" pattern painted onto it.

Another review here: http://www.laptopmag.com/review/cellphones/dell-venue-pro-tmobile.aspx. This one does mention the freezing most have experienced, I wonder what it will take for Dell to fix this or admit it cant be fixed and do a recall. Its so close to being a fantastic device but somehow Dell doesnt seem interested in making it so. And it seems the Euro version defaults to bing search in IE! Why the heck cant we get that?
[Venue Pro General] pessimistic observer:
ouch laptop mag gave the cliq 2 a higher score

so this has to be the most critical review of dvp i've seen

by a review site so far

edit:they gave hd7 a 3 aswell the surround a 3 and the qauntum a 3.5

so it appears wp7 is weighing down the score a little
[Venue Pro General] canadariot2312:
My old phone had an AMOLED screen, I was just happy that the black levels were black.

About the gorilla glass, I stabbed it repeatedly with a pen and not a single dent. Pretty strong stuff, and I probably wouldn't want to stab it again.

I actually don't mind the weight of the phone, it actually feels expensive in the hand compared to other phones (obviously not the metal HTC phones).

Couldn't agree more about the power button, kind of hard to press down, but I got use to it after a while.
[Venue Pro General] raremage:
Interestingy enough, I just checked and photos taken with the DVP are tagged as being taken with an Omnivision.

Mine look nowhere near as good, but I believe these were taken with a Venue Pro.
[Venue Pro General] neogodless:
I've noticed in many low light photos that must use flash, the "yellow lines" that are striped across the LED cover translate into yellow lines on the photo! This really does seem like a design flaw...
[Venue Pro General] efjay:
A flaw that gets fixed in their next version while we get the finger....
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thelgow:
I just went to check some videos I had recorded and they are all gone.

Some were just 2 sec hd tests and others were 2-5 mins long.

they default save to my media/video folder which I have some divx shows in there and those are all fine.

I recorded another to confirm its outputting to that folder.

I have around 14 videos that just magically disappeared.

Anyone have any idea why or what might have caused it?

Currently on Nero3, no voodoo. I havent redone the rom or anything like that since taking the last batch of my daughters xmas play, so im a little upset I didnt get to xfer them to my pc.

Also all regular camera pics ive taken are perfectly fine.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex530:
Press menu in the.video player and see if they've been hidden
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thelgow:
I dont think theyre hidden. I didnt play with any of that, and hidden or no, should show up when I connect to the pc.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
Why would her not want to use ring droid. It its ready and effective
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4got2g0:
Ring droid is your best bet. I have a good 10 gigs of music on my external and with ring droid I can make any ringtone I want. If you don't want that, there's an app called zedge which you can dl premade ringtones and wallpapers.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcontento:
Thanks, I will just have him suck it up and use ring droid
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dq13:
create a folred in media/audio/RINGTONES and place the mp3 files in there, then you can select them from settings as your ringtone
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bames:
Ringdroid is one of the best apps i have used not only can you assign contact specific ringtones you can EASILY customize specifically what part of a song you want to be the ring tone.

I encourage him to revisit ringdroid and discover its greatness
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ykman1:
Just got a Tab but I bought it off of someone who couldn't find there charger so I had to find one locally quick and the ONLY store that had it in my area was Verizon but it wasnt a Samsung branded OEM charger, It was a Verizon charger that was suppose to be the same but It doesnt charge via USB and Im wondering if for some reason its not suppose too? It charges USB when the Tab is off but when its on it doesn't? I can only charge it via wall charger when its on? So, is That normal? Or, does the OEM USB charge it while its on and this Verizon one is just messed up? Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] utrx:
Yeah. I got the Samsung Charger. Charging through USB from a computer is super slow to useless.

Only plugging to a wall provides sufficiently speedy charging.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beards:
The Tab is quite greedy for power and using either the USB port on a PC or a low Amp rated Mains USB charger will result in either the phone charging very slowly or not responding whilst under charge.

Charging the Tab using the USB and a PC, well there's nothing you can do about it as the USB standard only distributes 0.5 amps (500 milliamps) of power through each port.

Mains chargers however are rated higher but most common one's only have a Max of 1.0 amp.

What you need is a charger that has the capacity to deliver 2 amps.

Check Google & Ebay, there are a number of chargers available rated at 2 amp.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ykman1:
So usb charging while the tab is on is impossible, right? The charger charges fine plugged into the wall, I just needed to know if it not charging via usb while the tab is on was normal, and from what I get from what your saying is that it is normal, it will not charge usb while the tab is on... thanks.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beards:
No, I didn't say it was impossible. I said charging via the USB port on a PC will either be very slow or may not respond whilst under charge, it's certainly not the best method. It's just that with only 500 milliamps of power trickling through the USB port, the second you start to use the Tab in anything that requires a decent amount of power you are not going to get any charge.

The only way I find an ability to charge the Tab under a USB connection when connected to a PC is to let the screen on the Tab turn off and not to touch it. It will still happily communicate with your PC and send/receive data but it will take a much, much longer time to charge that's all. :)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ykman1:
I gotcha, so...when my tab is on it says not charging in the status but if I let it sleep it actually will just very slow... I understand what your saying and thank u for your time, I just wanted to make sure it wasn't the usb cable I got to know to take it back or not...
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkhouw1:
I charge mine at night via USB to my computer. Starts around 20% by the time I plug it in. I don't power off the tab. Always has a full charge in the am.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heythorp:
I have a double usb cable that is used to power an external drive. I would need a female to female adapter, but this should provide more power to the GT.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beards:
Yes, providing the cable you have charges when using with a mains plug then yes, the cable is good.

If however the cable did not charge even when using it with a mains plug then definately you would have a sync only cable.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ykman1:
Thanks, I'm just gonna let it sit overnight with it on sleep n see what happens
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beards:
No problem.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeron.Wong:
To charge through your PC with official USB cable, you should make your own USB "bridge"as short the data wire while insert an 33K om resister between gcc and data wire, an 10K om resister between gnd and data wire.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ykman1:
Yep... I left it on the usb in sleep and it did charge so the cables fine, It just sucks that it doesnt when the tab screen is on but oh well... If theres any solution to fixing this that it charges well from usb then let me know, I know someone just commented about modding the cable to work but theres gotta be a better solution...

I use it with a female-female usb adapter and it works pretty well for the PC, particularly on USB 3.0 ports.

I also saw these on Amazon:

amazon dot com/Apricorn-Power-Adapter-Cable-AUSB-Y/dp/B000JIOHDE

I believe Blackberry do one for the Storm as a standard accessory as well

For the car I got a car charger designed for iPad with a USB socket that delivers up to 2.1A

Hi forum...

Have you seen the new ADW EX ?

It is really great on our phone I think... Really nice effects and so on...

But then again, I have always liked ADW over LP, i never understood the fuzz about LP...

But let's not turn this thread into a LP vs ADW fight...

Let us just look at this amazing new ADW EX Launcher...

Sent from my Android phone...
