[Streak 5 General] NineToTheSky:
I don't know if I've been unlucky, but I got my fourth Streak yesterday, and it is - so far - the first one that doesn't seem to have any problems.

I won't bore everyone with all the problems, but they've ranged from being unable to connect to a mobile signal (I tried three different companies' SIMs), to not being able to charge, to the factory reset not resetting anything, and so on. I'm not very happy with the back cover: getting it on properly is very hard work.

I'm not widly impressed with Dell support either; there seems to be a fair bit of script reading going on. For example, all the Streaks have been unlocked and SIM free. I'm on Orange, so I wasn't very impressed when they tried to get me to upgrade to 2.2 using an o2 link.

It's a shame, and the reason I've persevered, is because I think the Streak is a thing of black minimalistic beauty, and for me, 5" is the perfect size: small enough to be truly portable, but big enough for satisfactory viewing. When it works, it's great.

I use launcher pro and not adw, cus I want the scrollable dock and to be able to choose how many home screans I have. But now I want "theme" my quick search bar but I can't find any way to do that unless I use adw and use a theme......I guess what I want is to be able to have a themed search bar in launcher pro.

Soloutions?
[Wildfire Android Development] pyroblazer:
ok.. im a noob at this... bt what is SWAP partition??? how does its size effect the performance??
[Wildfire Android Development] eagleofdeath13:
It's a partition on your device that the system use when the RAM is full.
[Wildfire Android Development] pyroblazer:
so if its grater in size.... that means its good... right??

and if so.. then y do devs prefer to keep it as 0mb??
[Wildfire Android Development] eagleofdeath13:
Beceause it's easier to maintain it i suppose ^^
[Wildfire Android Development] kevin2516:
Its because there is no need for swap and it can reduce the life of your sd card, according to most ppl
[Wildfire Android Development] sajm:
But remember, swap partition will never be fast like device ram chip.

And if u want to achieve good performance witch swap partition, buy microsd card class 6 (not 4)

good luck
[Wildfire Android Development] brilldoctor:
Or use the stock class 2 card
[Wildfire Android Development] pyroblazer:
ok... how do i check the class of by card?? coz here in India they dont provide class info along eith the card... also there is nothing written on it.... my card gives me a decent transfer rate of 4-5 mbps while copying to the card...
[Wildfire Android Development] melvinchng:
Class 4, it give me 10mb writing speed
[Wildfire Android Development] pyroblazer:
then i'd say mine is class 2(4-5 mbps while copying pc to sd, where as 9-10 mbps while copying 4m sd to pc)??? any software that could assure me??
[Wildfire Android Development] jocto:
interesting I have 8GB sd card class 4 and writing speed is 2mb max... is anything wrong? ****
[Wildfire Android Development] pyroblazer:
Either u have been fooled, or its a problem with ur Pc(coz my class2 card gives me 4MBPS),

or the number of files is too large

Example :- 1 file of 100MB will copy faster than 100 files of 1MB each...

getting my point??
[Galaxy Tab General] NightFire123:
hi

Im running the stock JK6 and rooted.

when Im running e.g. the liveview app my phone keeps some kind of freezing after a few minutes, first I tought it is app related but now I revieved my OBD2 scanner for my car and its just the same with the app "torque".

is this a hardware related problem or something wrong with this ROM.

did a HR several times and reflashed the ROM.

Edit: I noticed when bluetooth recieve or send data I cant get any other wireless date like on wifi or on radio.

please help

Seems to be a one time event with the data problem but the main thing keeps annoing me
[Galaxy Tab General] Xanaki:
Have you tried pulling the battery waiting 60 seconds placing the battery back in the phone and then rebooting?
[Galaxy Tab General] NightFire123:
Eh no cause on the galaxy tab the battery cant be removed
[Galaxy Tab General] LargePrime:
I don't Know, but if you have a Bluetooth PAN connection to the internet, then it should be not possible to have another connection to the internet. IP routing to the gateway would be confused if you could.

There are tools that "group" several separate internet connections into one virtual one.
[Galaxy Tab General] NightFire123:
no Im not using a bt PAN to connect the inet, only normal bluetooth data usage
[Galaxy Tab General] NightFire123:
Push

Just only me who is facing this annoing problem?
[Galaxy Tab General] stephane.papin:
Same problem with OBD2 :s disable GPS reduc freeze loop. But not fully (30 minutes). Next time i will turn off Data conection.

Every time i've freeze now i see torque try reconnect to OBD2, seem like BT of SGT turned off or time out
[Galaxy Tab General] greenbridge:
I am having the same problem. As long as I have bluetooth turned on, it will hang the Tab within 30 min. All bluetooth connections are definitely gone. Turning off the bluetooth won't help. The only way is to reboot and never turn bluetooth on.

BTW, I have tried connecting LiveView or a normal bluetooth headset. Both cause the same problem.

I am on JK2.
[Galaxy Tab General] greenbridge:
It seems it is bluetooth driver conflicting with any other data connections.

Did a further testing. Disabled Wifi, but doing data communication via 3G network while turning bluetooth on. The tab hangs in a few minutes. Found a process called 'btld' sucking up all the CPU circle.

Any ideas what 'btld' is?

Thought this should not be a hardware problem because bluetooth works fine when all data connections are off and Wifi/3G data works fine when bluetooth is off. It must be some sort of default setting isn't correct. If this is the case, then root would be a must before manually tuning any parameters.
[Galaxy Tab General] greenbridge:
Found root cause. It is actually the SonyEricsson LiveView software causing troubles. After removing, everything goes well.

Checked on SonyEricsson's web site, it seems Froyo is yet to be supported.
[Galaxy Tab General] NightFire123:
try to use WO Webcam B-Lite out of market, you can open a bt connection by pressing activate and then while running, close via taskmanager, voila the freeze begun
[Galaxy Tab General] ruspa:
I've got galaxy Tab and galaxy S, and torque badly freezes the devices almost every time I exit the application. It cannot be an hardware fault since I use lot of bluetooth devices and always 3g connected, never had issues. Just with torque, and I don't have any "sony liveview" thing.

Reading on the comments of Torque it seems that also other devices have the same freeze issue (especially a phone called "Evo 4G"). Many months ago I sent a mail to the developer explaining the bug but he bumped me away replying that the app is tested and working on GalaxyTab (and obviously it's not true, or he did some mistake in testing). Now lots of people with this Evo 4G are complaining and the developer is trying to fix. let's hope..
[Hero, G2 Touch General] iam_batman:
I get a hissing noise whether on headphones or on the hero's speaker when playing any audio. It starts just before the audio/music starts and continues for about 4/5 seconds after the audio/music is stopped.

I was using froydvillian 1.7.2 and now cronos 0.0.9, I think the hissing noise was worse on froydvillain.

Is this related to the rom? or does the hero just have a really ****ty dac?

If you want to try and replicate this, put on headphones, play some music and press pause and you should be able to hear the 4/5 second hiss

Does anyone else have the same problem?

Hello everyone,

Alright, I've just updated my phone to the latest version Androind 2.2.1 JPY.

I was following the guide for installing Darky's ROM, but my pc doesn't show anything when I connect my phone.

I have up-to-date drivers.

When my phone was on 2.1 JM2 it was working.

I have no idea what the problem is.

I really appreciate the help and thanks in advance.

The cable is fine, because it worked just before I updated.

I'm going to try a factory reset right now.

Factory reset didn't work. Should I try a re-flash?

EDIT2:

Just remembered I can't do a re-flash since I can't connect to my PC whatsoever.

Did I brick my phone?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gfacer:
I have the same issues but I have flashed several roms none the less. I gave up on the PC after serveral PC's and several days. I think it may be a usb hardware issue as I did connect to Kies once and the PC once but then I tried the next day and I've never gotten it back on despite countless driver reinstalls, android SDK adb attempts, odin, heimdall etc...

So to flash I first installed clockwork mod as an update.zip (put it in the root folder, then boot up in recovery - you'll need 3 button mode working I think). This was in the instructions for the first VoodooDoctor rom I flashed.

I also highly recomend also getting steam recovery (mine was part of a rom so I don't know the XDA link) as it allows flashing roms that are stored on the SD card. which is handy for me as that is the only way to get something on the phone if the flash goes sideways and I didn't already have it in the root folder. It is accessible now as the update.zip in my root folder and so I can run it from clockwork.

Clockwork allows you to flash from the phone - no odin needed. Steam does the same but steam is newer so I've mainly stuck with CWM except when I had to figure out a way to fix a bad flash....

I made this post about my near death (of my sgs)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=929020

I'd still stick with the tried and true as its a little nerve racking to flash knowing that you need some function on the phone to recover but if you are dying to try a good tested custom rom I'd encourage you do so.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpayne1:
I'm attempting to use Tasker to turn on wifi calling when I am connected to a specific AP. The issue I am having is that, although it works, the wifi calling app sticks in the foreground. It will not go away. I can't even force close it because It pops up the wifi calling app too quickly for me to get to it.

The flow of the task is as follows:

IF Wifi Connected to [apName]

THEN set variable %wifiCalling = 1

IF %wifiCalling = 1

Then Load App [Wifi Calling]

Goto Action Number 1

%wifiCalling ++

Go Home

Kill App If %WIFI != on

End If %wifiCalling = 2

End If %wifi != on

The only way I can end the loop once it starts is to reboot the phone. Even if I turn off wireless or go out of the range of the AP, it still keeps WifiCalling in the foreground.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spoontwisted:
I've got a similar setup, and am trying to do the same thing. N1 with CM7 (nightly-17), and wifi calling (see; unforgivendevelopment), and Tasker. I'll attempt your setup this evening when I'm home, maybe try this:

make 2 tasks.

Task 1:

IF Wifi Near to [apName]

THEN set variable %wifiCalling = 1

IF %wifiCalling = 1

Then Load App [Wifi Calling]

Goto Action Number 1

%wifiCalling ++

Go Home

Task 2:

IF !Wifi Near to [apName]

THEN set variable %wifiCalling = 0

IF %wifiCalling = 0

Then Load App [Wifi Calling]

Goto Action Number 1

%wifiCalling ++

Go Home

Sorry, not sure how the wifiCalling variable works just yet, but basically one task would set it as on, then another to set it as off. Also, I think you're using End If incorrectly.

Let me know if this helps. I'll let you know what I come up with tonight!

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jervill:
Is your %wificalling variable set to wrap when greater than 1? I do that to my variables which are used to toggle on/off states so that when you add one to it, it reverts back to zero instead of going to 2 and up. I'm not sure but maybe that's what's happening, maybe it's just incrementing your variable to infinity?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spoontwisted:
OSNAP

I found a workaround. It's only a toggle, not an enable/disable, but it works for me since I really only need wifi calling in one location.

When wifi near [APname]

Open App [Wifi Calling]

Input -> Dpad -> Down

Input -> Dpad -> Press

Open App [Go Home]

I use the same series of events for my exit task.

Voila!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spoontwisted:
You could also use the Dpad method to go into the Wifi Calling settings and switch between Wifi Preferred and Cellular Preferred, that's what I'm doing now.

I know just enough about Tasker to be dangerous, but I'm having a hard time trying to make this work. I want to have it automaticaly turn on WiFi Calling when I'm connected to my work network, and turn it back off when I leave work. I found WiFi Calling under apps, but I have to admit I'm confused about how to do the Input > Dpad commands. Would someone mind walking me through what to do where? This is driving me crazy trying to figure it out!

Thank you!!!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Girrlkitty:
Ah ha, well, I played with it a bit more, and found the "input" section (I thought it was a button, not a section) and from there I was able to put in the Dpad method listed here. Hopefully it will work to toggle wifi calling on and off only while I'm at work. Thanks!!!

On Windows, i believe, that it comes with the sdk in the platform-tools or tools folder and for Mac and linux you need to download it separate.

There is probably no need to download the hole sdk. I posted a link in the AlphaRev thread some time ago, try to find that, there might also be a fastboot file for Windows.

I just received this update OTA (3.6.360). It's for T- Mo phones (USA?) and has a link listing a number of "fixes". I have no issues with the supposed fixes except in on (T-MO USA) area: wifi calling. I had been experiencing some moments of voice loss on wifi calling. I did a reset which seemed to have cured it. Apparently this update stabilizes wifi calling and also makes "visual voice mail" now work over wifi. Let you know what happens.

Honestly I have never had an issue with any of those. The only thing I ever noticed was when I was on Wi-Fi, and I would text, I would see the icons for both Wi-Fi and 3G at the same time. Phone never gets hot, and battery life has been good (100% full charge with little use I can go 3 days. 100% charge with heavy use and I get a good day and a half). Since I just update today I will give a a little time, and post back if anything got worse or better.
