Overall I like the speed of the build but some of the issues I have are driving me bunkers.

Random restarts-sometimes gets stuck on logo.

Wifi sometimes wont connect.

Will lose sound. Will have to get incoming call to get it back.

Today touch screen stopped working for a little bit. Restart fixed it.

Battery dying over night with everything shutoff. Standby is 33% of battery usage.

Everything is just so random I can't figure it out. I don't want to go back to stock so ill try to deal with it.

Thank Steve for your hard work.

Same here. It worked great in 1.5.1.

Do we need to use another kernel? Or use the shell to make some config changes.

Updated to 1.8.1 last night from 1.5 I think,

Loving it so far, thank you so much dj steve and everyone else that contributed.

I am experiencing a couple of issues though,

Since updating my facebook and twitter apps have reverted to older versions. For example I'm lacking facebook chat.

Another issue which I read others are experiencing too;

Lack of sensitivity on half of the screen when trying to unlock it after the screen has been turned off.

Again, streakdroid is what makes the streak the awesome device it is today.

Cheers,

Daniel
[Streak 5 Android Development] Cyberburnout:
I have the same issues with apps. I have update the Facebook app everyday since updating to 1.8.1. Completely removed and downloaded newest fb apk, reinstalled and after reset fb back to old version again. Its the old version that doesn't even have chat. Lol so I have to update everyday to chat with people.

Had to hold power button until phone shuts off twice today because touch stopped working. Its such odd and random issues I cant figure it out.

Is there an app that you can set what time of day to kill apps? All of the ones I can find either kill when screen is off or you have to manually do it everytime. I'd like to kill ooVoo,touchdown and a few others at night to stop battery from dying while in standby. Don't like it killing apps I need just because I turned phone off. HELP! LOL

[Streak 5 Android Development] mellojoe:
To remove the performance mod from my existing setup, should I simply reflash over the top using an "install.txt" that doesn't include the "perfmod" option?

In said reflash, should I clear the Dalvik cache or am I ok with skipping it?

Or do I need to do a factory reset?
[Streak 5 Android Development] 2devnull:
Not sure if anyone else got the email, and I will probably start a new thread to ask how to get to the innards and locate the unlock code, however I received an email that Dell stores the unlock code right on the phone. Perhaps in a feature request in StreakDroid, there can be a way to add it to be revealed in the settings --> About area.

For 1.8.0 and 1.8.1 i got all freaked out for a split second when it shows in the documentation on the phone that it is installing 1.7.0, but then I figure that little tid bit hasn't been updated yet. Love these roms though, thanks steve!
[Streak 5 Android Development] MadCobbler:
Hi

Relative newbie here

Firstly I installed 1.8.1 straight over stock Dell 2.2 and I'm finding its working like a dream (no factory reset, but I did clear Dalvik Cache), this is the first build I've tried as I'm new to the streak.

The only issue I'm having is that after a reboot Facebook app is reverting to an older one, but I have the latest apk so i just install it, no biggie.

I installed using clockworkmod (latest one) without one problem and I use these options in install.txt

launcherpro

volboost

bios

volnoppt

After reading on here about some people saying perfmod drains the battery I decided not to install it (might reflash with it on just to see if there is a difference).

Getting around the 1800 mark on Quadrant but that is without perfmod and OC.

Everything else is fine Wifi, 3g all working as they should so very happy :)

Use root explorer to navigate to system/app and delete the facebook apk (not sure of exact name). That should fix the issue of the old version resurrecting when you reboot.

Just updated my Dell 318 froyo 2.2 based Streak to Streakdroid 1.8.1. I had nothing but trouble.

Dialer crashing,

tabemail crashing,

gmail taking forever to load

native music app gone and replaced by some other music and miui music apps that SUCK. "music" named app takes good 10 secs to buffer every song before playing.. if you try to move around it crashes. otherone crashes too.

Read about cache wipe and data delete... did it. after that Streak is stuck with "StreakDroid" animated logo and screen is half dimmed.

reverting to stock 318. What is a better build to try again?

Battery drain issue...

Hi, I have a question:

I have primary phone Samsung Spica i5700, it is updated with modified FroYo 2.2 and I've noticed some same issues between Spica and Streak battery drain... They was one kernel some weeks ago with battery drain inside, and one of the reasons was 245 Mhz as primary mode. I clearly understand that CPU types are definitely :) differs but logic telling me that this is a source of problem. I've noticed that Streak eats much battery in reading mode, I'm using CoolReader and reading takes much battery - at least 10% per hour (same problem with Opera and etc). On Spica problem was almost same (battery pretty same - 1500)...

So question:

does some one try to unlock lower frequency of snapdragon? I mean something like 66Mhz and 120+Mhz (now low frequency is - 245Mhz), that's play a great role in Spica power save in sleep, read and passive use modes.
[Streak 5 Android Development] pgill34:
I would think going as low as 66 mhz would cause a lot of lock ups and reboots I'm not sure about 120 but I believe that some of the problems with random shut downs on the captavate where due to samsung letting the cpu drop to 100mhz. I'm not sure about the streak
[Streak 5 Android Development] mike-biker:
Hi guys, I have made root and recovery mod and I already installed 1.8.1 version succesfully.

But I have some questions for old hand.

1) Which density is the best (what are differences - I recognize nothing):( And which options do you advise as usefull?

2) Is recommended to make wipe (cache, Dalvik, battery stats, fix permissions and so before flash update.zip?

3) Is needed as on Windows mobile to make factory reset after flashing?

4) And as Steve recommended! Will it be made before flashing, or after?

Thank u very much to everyone. ;)
[Streak 5 Android Development] leximus:
well don't want to disappoint You, but my Spica now works on range from 66Mhz to 1Ghz (overclocked) and device feels very good :) so I can prove with my phone that Android would work ok on that frequencies, and as I think if Samsung (read as some****) can work on such range, why then new and improved armv7 couldn't ?

If Steve adds overclocking that it is possible add "underclocking" in CPU table inside kernel, so question is - does someone thought about that or already did?
[Streak 5 Android Development] TheManii:
included kernel can underclock to 128mhz, but it makes your streak have a really hard time waking up/random reboots. Mine became nearly unusable until I read not to bring it below 256mhz (closes increment available in setcpu) (it can also OC to 1.5ghz but it's not safe at all)

Each streak is different, there may be some that can work at 128 but I dont remember anyone posting that they could.
[Streak 5 Android Development] nickshertzer:
Battery drain - my 2 cents

My battery was draining about 25% per hour on 1.8.1. I noticed that there is an option under Accounts & Sync > Gmail > Sync Music that kept spinning and spinning. I unchecked and now getting about 5% per hour discharge with moderate to heavy usage. Much better!

And after a little Googling: http://forum.pocketables.net/showthread.php?p=69128

Has something to do with the Honeycomb music app ported to 2.2 Froyo. http://www.the-gulp.com/2011/01/sync-music-found-in-android-30.html

if u upgraded from dell's official froyo u don't need to flash baseband..and if u can use ur sim properly (3G and calls) then also same thing applies.

I used the process on Streakdroid to get JB. I am now on BB 318. My 3G and calls work fine, assume that means I am AOK ?
[Streak 5 Android Development] Baldyl0cks:
The baseband (also know as a radio) simply put is in charge of your reception/antenas etc. newer roms/builds may need a newer baseband because they cannot talk to an older baseband.

you can flash this before or after your rom, I sugest after incase something goes wrong with your rom and you revert to an old version

Thanks for all the valuable answers...:)

Thanks for all the info, I feel much better about my baseband. I"m still unable to use 1.7x or 1.8x, but it's good that I understand the proper way to troubleshoot Android issues / builds. I'm hopeful the recent tweets from Steve @ fixing reboot issues via 1.9x will get me right again.

With a factory recent and immediate fresh install I got 1.8.1 stable for 3 days and then it was back to reboot city. It's ok for now, 1.6.1 has been good to me.

I appreciate everyone that assisted with tips and info, it helped me to get up to speed quick.

I do have one question though. The baseband linked on page one, which version is it?

Issues with 1.8.1

First off thanks Hyde, and those that have helped him!

Here are some issues that I've noticed:

- My car's Bluetooth doesn't seem to connect to the phone anymore (3G, GPS, camera, seem to be fine). It had no problem with stock 1.6

- I had to go in a change the ring for most contacts to actually get my phone to ring. I had changed the ring overall which should have been used but it was still quiet.

- I can't enable non-market apps in settings. Everytime I do, I go to install an apk, it tells me that third party apps are disabled. I tried installing from my browser and ASTRO file manager. I also tried changing other settings and switching apps right after setting the checkbox.

Thanks again, and Thanks in advance!

I would like the lights to stay on as long as the screen is on if that's possible in the next release. It makes it easier to find the buttons in the dark. I know where the buttons are, but my 3 year old and wife and whoever is using my phone don't really know where to press in the dark without having a light on to see.

after complete wipe, both roms freeze at the initial lock screen after installation. absolutely nothing works. went back to stock 2.2 for at&t.

I am thinking this may have something to do with pixel density setting.

later i tried LCD density changer app from market. when i try to set new density, phone freezes and i have to reboot. nothing will set properly.. 180, 200 or 220. all give same results.
