huh??? Maybe no one on here cares about the average consumer, but MS does. If the techies and business users were enough, winmo wouldn't have been bleeding users the last couple of years.

Your humor is nonexistent. Maybe some emoticons will help...

And that average consumer you keep bashing is the same one that pushed the iphone to the top of the mountain.

I really think you jumped on board when you should have stuck it out with maybe a hd2. But that's ok, that is what the ignore list is for.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] djonoff:
Hey XDA community!

First of all: sorry for my bad english, i am just a regular HD2 owner from Eastern Europe.

Almost everyone who tried a cooked android experienced the Sod (Screen of death) issue. I read a hundred topic, comment and idea to solve this annoying problem, but none of those was really useful.

I guess i found a temporaly fix for that.

I noticed the main issue is the Android lock screen. So i started searching some widget to disable it. And it worked! So download the "No lock" (in my recent post i mentioned the "screen off" app. sorry,it way my mistake) widget from the market and disable the lock screen with it.

Et voilá: the SOD's gone.

I don't now why but it's working. Maybe it was not a g-sensor who caused the SOD.

With the large number of apps out there to play mp3 files, I was wondering what the current opinion over which one has the best look/functionality/features etc. over the built in (sense build) music player. Free or paid app. The built in htc/android player doesn't seem as good as it's winmo counterpart.

Music3

PowerAmp
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] ddeathmetal:
Mixzing Player with Graphic EQ (great sound Quality)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] kinsago:
Recommend Winamp. If you use winamp on PC then you can wireless sync music between phone and PC. I find it great as I have wifi on when my phone is docked :) (+ it's free)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] clyder:
Also vote for winamp. I dont use it on PC (stopped since version 3), but using it in Android for some time. Extra feature I like about it is that plays shoutcast streams.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] arkatis:
Yeah winamp is great and clean...I Also recommend Music3...the widget is stunning!
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Shum97:
I recommend WinAmp:) Not to keen on Music3..

May I get this pm swell for full poweramp?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] bergs333:
I like Player Pro
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] bdkinney:
Tried most...purchased Poweramp...if you knew me you would understand what a ringing endorsement that is.

My daughter's favorite is the Miui Player (the APK is here on XDA somewhere). She loves the lyric feature...and I admit it's kinda cool. But for sound quality....Poweramp.

Oh I also use the Mortplayer audio book player...if you listen to audio books you can't beat it.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] mdpgc:
check your pm
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Dimension2035:
PowerAmp is best. EQ customization is off the hook. You get sounds that are better than Ipod quality.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] jcsy:
ok looks like power amp is for sound quality

how about a player with lyrics ? :D
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] blakeboro:
Ditto

I'd Appreciate That as well

Thanks
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Folkert:
Come on people!!! Just stop this nonsense asking for illegal software. If this is great software just buy it for a few euro's. JUST A FEW EUROS, IS THAT TOO MUCH.

Shame on all those requests!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really dig poweramp! great sound!
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] bft579:
poweramp is the best in my opinion. the eq makes my music sound really nice
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] CableMan67:
PowerAmp

I love also Power Amp with DSP manager, Great Sound!!1
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] agentaaron:
I suppose I must stand alone here...I like Lithium music player myself :)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] goldsand:
winamp is the best :)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] CrazyTurk42:
poweramp! best so far imo
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Foggy79:
I bought the full version of PowerAmp.

Imo the best musicplayer atm.

HTC Sense stock player + DSP Manager :cool:
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] moskito-hd2:
Hi,

I use PowerAmp and Mortplayer. :)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] huggs:
I use Tinyplayer. Sound quality is great, but it has no EQ. But unlike the Android music player, its directory-oriented, meaning it looks to whatever folder (music folder) you set it to, so you dont get system sounds and ringtones in your playlist. And its free

[Venue Pro General] signsy:
Hey there.

I'm from Germany and thinking of importing the Venue Pro from the US. But I got a question to this Phone.

Is there any possibility to switch the QWERTY Layout to a QWERTZ Layout? It would be nice if "Z" appears on the Phone when pressing Y.

Greets from Bavaria!

signsy
[Venue Pro General] signsy:
nobody?

Hey,

is there nobody who knows if this is possible?

Cheers!
[Venue Pro General] Alechka:
now it's impossible, couse it has only one (US) keyboard. And there is no access to a registry on this device to make a new keyboard layout
[Venue Pro General] tokuro:
i just had my Venue Pro exchanged (warranty exchange). However it is US version, physical KB works like german KB... there must be a way to fix this.

this sucks...
[Venue Pro General] zanthos:
Using the EM app (check here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16186171&postcount=1), you can enable the app to display additional options. There you find a keypad layout setting under "Service Center".

Have fun!
[Streak 5 Android Development] djscopesofm:
If anyone has anymore info on the ro.ril. properties, I would greatly appreciate it.

It would also be great if every shared the script they use with which network.

You'll need a rooted Streak and Root Explorer.

Add/edit these entries to "/system/build.prop" (you must mount to r/w and open with Text Editor). Make sure that these are not already in your build.prop, if they are, then just edit the values.

ro.ril.hsxpa=2 (higher values are invalid until proven otherwise)

[0=UMTS] [1=HSPDA only] [2=HSPDA & HSUPA]

ro.ril.gprsclass=10 (Class 10 to save battery)

The Streak supports Class 12 GPRS, set to 12 to increase EDGE speed

ro.ril.hep=1 (no info available, no change when turned off)

ro.ril.enable.dtm=1

Enable "dual transfer mode" on EDGE networks; requires different GPRS class setting. Only set this to 1 if your network allows simultaneous transfer of Circuit switched (CS) voice and Packet switched (PS) data over the same radio channel (ARFCN).

ro.ril.hsdpa.category=8 (Cat 8 is the Streak's max)

ro.ril.hsupa.category=6 (Cat 6 is the Streak's max)

ro.ril.enable.a53=1 (enable increased ciphering on HSDPA/HSUPA)

ro.ril.enable.3g.prefix=1 (Adds the 3G prefix e.g. Optus 3G, etc.)

All Carries have their own specific settings they should use.

As Im using Optus Prepaid in Australia these are the setting I use. Lots of experimenting went into these and my 3G works better than ever. Best SpeedTest I've got was D2.98/U1.52 48ms ping on 4 bars, average is about D2.5/U1.0 80ms.

ro.ril.enable.dtm=0
ro.ril.gprsclass=10
ro.ril.hep=0
ro.ril.enable.3g.prefix=1
ro.ril.hsdpa.category=8
ro.ril.hsupa.category=6
ro.ril.hsxpa=2
ro.ril.enable.a53=1

Thanks to nickshertzer here are the setting for AT&T

NOTE

After adding, save and remount to r/o. You might need to restart TWISE to get this completely working.

Happy Streaking =)

This will not increase the power of your antenna or increase radiation. All this does is choose the best profiles for EDGE/HSDPA/HSUPA. Its proven to increase speed and connection strength.
[Streak 5 Android Development] devdarshan:
Wow! This is cool - am definitely going to give this a shot
[Streak 5 Android Development] otakonxxx:
Is this for any rom or for stock?
[Streak 5 Android Development] djscopesofm:
yes. infact it should work on any android phone

[Streak 5 Android Development] bash_array:
Trying it out now... so far its not blowing my skirt up.... any tests I can run to see if I'm benefiting from this? Speedtest.net looks as good or worse..... thanks
[Streak 5 Android Development] djscopesofm:
I'm not an expert at android but this fixed my problem with no hspa when I'm at home and other indoor places. dunno about speed but it works excellent.
[Streak 5 Android Development] bash_array:
No offense, but you sound like a novice at Android development. Where did you hear about this build.prop tweak? Do you work for a cell tower contractor? Seriously I'm not trying to offend you, just confused.
[Streak 5 Android Development] sacredsoul:
I did my own research on google for these tweaks. They seem legit. Go have a look ;)
[Streak 5 Android Development] schizo:
It sounds make sense, modifying the RIL parameter. However I found those 3 lines a little bit .... maybe the first two lines are unnecessary due to our device is not HTC? And for all those lines, i think there should be no blank spaces between characters. I might be wrong though :D
[Streak 5 Android Development] djscopesofm:
dw I did my research and testing b4 I posted and every entry has some effect on signal strength
[Streak 5 Android Development] fards:
I posted em ages ago, they are in steves streakmod rom

the bitmask ones won't make a difference, as they aren't valid for the streak..

If you're seeing a difference its placebo I'm afraid
[Streak 5 Android Development] bash_array:
Aw snap... good lookin out. No offense to the dude that posted the tweak.

Thanks for posting anyway djscopesofm!
[Streak 5 Android Development] 2devnull:
Hey, I'm on SD 1.7.0 and I don't see them in my build.props? Should they be in there or did Steve already include it somewhere else in the ROM and therefore no need for me to add it to the build.prop?

Thank you.
[Streak 5 Android Development] mellojoe:
When I saw this on DJ_Steve's StreakDroid thread, I tried it. It broke my data connection. I had no WiFi and no 3g. I deleted the edits, and everything worked fine after that.

I might go back and try it with the double - reboot, though.
[Streak 5 Android Development] fards:
they arent in 170, they dont work for everyone..

in earlier roms they were in /etc/local.prop

but I guess we'll have a new thread with someone proclaiming they found local.prop works for prop settings as well :P
[Streak 5 Android Development] 2devnull:
So, to try these out, put them in build.prop, do a double reboot and if it didn't break anything, then keep them? Else remove them and double reboot again?
[Streak 5 Android Development] Spectre51:
Worked on my US unlocked streak on 1.7.0. Don't know if it really changed anything. Speeds are about the same and signal strength looks the same. Wifi still works fine.

UPDATE: Spoke too soon wifi broke. Connects to my router but no data. Uninstalling.

[Streak 5 Android Development] chinkostu:
put them in mine, no noticeable differences
[Streak 5 Android Development] macexplorer:
Does this also improve Wifi?

My Streak struggles to Find/Maintain Wifi connection at home.

While my N900/laptop never fail to connect.

Sry if its an irrelevant question!
[Streak 5 Android Development] celljunkie707:
worked for me. Before mod, I was never able to talk in my house, i always had to go outside. Furthermore, I had to set my network type to GSM only.

After mod I have way better reception throughout my house and it stays on (H) with 2-full bars.

just my .02
[Streak 5 Android Development] 2devnull:
Well, I am screwed...I put them in and now WiFi connects but no data goes through. No carrier data network working either. I was SSHing to edit the build.prop now I am locked out. I cannot get to market to find anything else to change the file permission. Any ideas how I can change the file permission so I can edit the file to what it was or rename it as I took a backup of the file.
[Streak 5 Android Development] djscopesofm:
u need to use root explorer... and no it has absolutely no affect on wifi only hspa and gprs profiles
[Streak 5 Android Development] 2devnull:
OK, was able to SSH and SFTP in and edit the file. So, the weird thing is that the Streak connected to my WiFi but market, email, the browser etc does not get the internet connection. This seems like the DNS issue some people have reported encountered.
[Streak 5 Android Development] 2devnull:
well, I removed them and WiFi works. My theory is that if there is a problem with one of the entries, perhaps WiFi doesn't get fully initialized. I don't know, should not have been related but apparently it is.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Spectre51:
Same for me. Removed it and wifi worked again could finally get data flowing.

[Streak 5 Android Development] 2devnull:
seems like a placebo then. It would be good for someone to provide empirical data with and without these settings. I rather not change them and they work in one location and suffers in another as I travel a lot.
[Streak 5 Android Development] djscopesofm:
it does have a great affect on indoor signal, I think it just chooses the strongest frequency... but its has made my phone unstable with 1.7.0 so I suggest everyone to either play around with the values for some trial n error or just remove it completely

I've stoped using it completely because it causes my phone to hang mid call, and I cant be bothered playing around with it
[Streak 5 Android Development] nickshertzer:
I did some additional testing with values and found some things that Amon_RA was doing with the Nexus One.

Currently on SimpleStreak 1.2 perfmod with 353 AMS

ro.ril.enable.dtm=1
ro.ril.gprsclass=12
ro.ril.hep=1
ro.ril.enable.3g.prefix=1
ro.ril.hsdpa.category=14
ro.ril.hsupa.category=6
ro.ril.hsxpa=5

Place that at the end of your build.prop and make sure there is a blank line at the very end. Reboot twice and test.

I went from 439kbps - 900kbps down / 1079kbps up without these settings to 2978kbps down / 1104kbps up

Your mileage may vary.
[Streak 5 Android Development] chrisrotolo:
thats quite a jump, did the categories change hsxpa=5?; ok, I'll give it a shot. thanks.

edit: nope, got worse =from 2.5 down before to 1.5 down with changes at end of build.prop, and upload is 0.03(more than once)

replaced build.prop with build.prop.bak in root explorer, renamed.. upon boot after dell logo...blank screen... gahh!!

doh!!

[Streak 5 Android Development] krazman325:
Seriously???.....you get that pissed off over a post from 6 months ago?????

Everything being "discovered" in this thread was discovered and discussed 5-6 months ago. The bottom line is that in all likelihood, these changes do nothing and make your device very unstable! The OP, in an earlier thread, said they were removing it from their device due to the instability it causes.

If you want to re-discover the wheel, go ahead. You might try reading the entire thread before you proceed so you don't wind up posting a "HELP ME, MY STREAK IS BRICKED" post later!

I'm actually using this mod with SimpleStreak 1.2 and it works a treat.. it doesn't work with StreakDroid 1.6+, for some reason it clashes with something.

this is the script I use:

ro.ril.enable.dtm=1
ro.ril.gprsclass=12
ro.ril.hep=1
ro.ril.enable.3g.prefix=1
ro.ril.hsdpa.category=8
ro.ril.hsupa.category=6
ro.ril.hsxpa=5
[Streak 5 Android Development] chrisrotolo:
works a treat,... Meaning what kind of speeds/improvements are you getting?
[Streak 5 Android Development] Mark X:
Well, Im guessing that performance will be based on particular carrier settings?

Anyways, I changed the gprs setting to "10". Had no reboots yet. Seems to be an improvement speed/connectivity wise.

EDIT: gprs and hsdpa seemingly work a charm, 3g is broken tho. Gonna change the 3g setting around.
[Streak 5 Android Development] djscopesofm:
where in aus r u from? I'm from inner west sydney on optus prepaid..

it would be cool if everyone can say what carrier they're using and what setting work for them or what changes they made that = to better or worse... also rom and baseband would help too

I'm gonna try changing gprs to 10 to see what happens..

CHEERS!
[Streak 5 Android Development] Mark X:
Brisbane. On Exetel (Optus). I've definitely had an improvement. Had hsdpa today whereas before I barely had gprs, though it hit 3g and seemingly stopped transferring data.
[Streak 5 Android Development] djscopesofm:
I think optus did something with their network coz when I 1st got my streak I didn't have any problems at all untill the end of the year.. now Im lucky to get a connection 50% of the time.. I'm even on the original baseband and still no change.. my wife is on optus prepaid but on a motorola defy and she has excellent reception with hspa 99% of the time.. its really strange
[Streak 5 Android Development] djscopesofm:
just did a speed test after changing to gprs to class 10:

ping 124ms, down 2.5, up 1.62

which is better than I've ever got... which is strange
[Streak 5 Android Development] Mark X:
Yeah, I think they have too. Oddly enough, I was getting similar results to how it used to be, with that script. I dont know, still testing.

How to Increase AT&T 3G Speed on Android

Includes step by step to editing build.prop via ADB or Root Explorer.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Mark X:
Simple Streak 1.2 w/ perfmod nooc.

Optus (Exetel) Australia - Brisbane.

This is the script I use:

ro.ril.enable.dtm=1
ro.ril.gprsclass=10
ro.ril.hep=1
ro.ril.enable.3g.prefix=1
ro.ril.hsdpa.category=8
ro.ril.hsupa.category=6
ro.ril.hsxpa=5

Stable and a definite increase in connectivity. Speeds "appear" faster, though I cannot confirm this.
[Streak 5 Android Development] djscopesofm:
I use the exact same script.. speeds are good.. though still having issues on keeping a connection for long periods

have u tried disabling hep & dtm?
[Streak 5 Android Development] djscopesofm:
the streak has HSDPA, 7.2 Mbps; HSUPA, 5.76 Mbps

which is class 8 and 6.. it can't go any higher

check for urself www.gsmarena.com/dell_streak-3353.php
[Streak 5 Android Development] Mark X:
Ive actually not tried for an 'extended period'. I just know with this tweak, Im now getting 3g/hsdpa whereas before i barely had a gprs connection. Without doubt, its an improvement, and with 10 gprs its completely stable (for me).
[Streak 5 Android Development] nickshertzer:
Thank you! I have updated my post and linked back to your post.
[Streak 5 Android Development] chrisrotolo:
did anone find out what hsxpa=5 is?, if anything it must be settings for some serious "4g" up/down speeds??
[Streak 5 Android Development] djscopesofm:
spent hours researching all the ro.ril. properties and I can truly say that going higher then hsxpa=2 is useless as when I change it to 3, 4 or 5 it makes no difference and in most cases made it worse.

I've realised that setting dtm to 0 lets u connect to HSxPA faster and increases ping.

hep set to 0 makes no noticeable change but I will leave it on 0.

Check the original post for all the changes. A lot of work went into this. If anyone has anymore info, I would greatly appreciate it.

It would also be great if every shared the script they use with which network.
[Streak 5 Android Development] borijess:
I used your settings from the first page and its working great definitly has speed up my DL speed and UL speed is consistant.
[Streak 5 Android Development] djscopesofm:
that's great to hear. I put heaps of time in to it. remember that u can still tweak it to suit it better for ur carrier
[Streak 5 Android Development] mid_life_crisis:
The link didn't quote, but I used the settings from the nickshertzer post with the one setting set to 8 instead of 12. On AT&T and simplestreak with no perf mods other than these edits and adding the line to change my density to 180.

Download increased roughly 33% to a max of 3.9 with a slight increase in upload to just under 1 meg.
[Streak 5 Android Development] cdzo72:
Hey guys just so someone else may get as luck as I did...

I implemented the tweaks in this article:

http://www.nickshertzer.com/wordpress/?p=600

and noticed a considerable difference in my download and uploads speeds, but what made me the happiest is how quick my Streak connected to the network when switching from WiFi to mobile.
