I've been using a 32gb sandisk (class 2) for a couple days now and it's awesome. Despite being class 2, it's way faster than the crappy class 4 that came with the phone.

Random r/w speed is the most important thing to worry about with WP7 devices. Class rating does not say anything at all about random r/w speed, just about the maximum throughput. In fact, there is often a NEGATIVE correlation between class rating and random r/w speed - the higher the class, the lower random r/w.

So that's why class 2, 4, or 6 cards seem to be the best.
[Venue Pro Accessories] goatslayer85:
so could anyone give me a link of the best 32 gb sd card I can use for my DVP that would be awesome.

the one that came with my phone is starting to fail (constantly getting the black screen with memory card problem and asking me to change cards and reset)
[Venue Pro Accessories] goatslayer85:
another question

let's say something happens with my phone and I need to send it back for warranty repair, could I possibly switch out the sd card back to the original one, reset and be ok?
[Venue Pro Accessories] someeh:
So does this phone have a SD card that is expandable? I just got the phone a week ago and thought it was built in and couldn't be changed.
[Streak 5 General] rruckster:
I just picked up the Streak today from Best Buy. Once I saw the $50.00 price and realized I could update to 2.2 right away, it was a no brainer, so I thought....

I am actually digging the Streak, if I can get a few things worked out. I am coming from the Captivate which I just recently upgraded to Froyo. I actually love the Captivate now that it has 2.2. I just love the screen size of the Streak more!

FWIW, it looks like the Froyo that I installed is not the AT&T version. I dont see any of their bloatware. Is this good or bad?

The problems I am encountering with the Streak are, backlit buttons do not light up when touching the screen. They only light up when I touch them, which defeats the purpose of backlighting. I also dont see any provisions for mobile AP or tethering. I thought that, even though they may be locked, that they are part of Froyo and should be there? Same with "power widget"??? that is normally above the pull down notification window? You know, where you turn on/off GPS, WIFI, bluetooth? I don't have it. The other thing that came with Froyo on the Captivate but not on the Streak was the Task Manager. Should that be there?

After updating and setting up most everything, it started getting a little buggy. Screen orientation was doing weird things and locking up. Wifi seemed real slow, after being super quick. I went ahead and did a factory reset and I am still having the same issues. I have not noticed any orientation issues YET. BTW I have never rooted a device. I am not against doing it if it fixes things but I prefer to stay stock. Any help is greatly appreciated.
[Streak 5 General] fleurdelisxliv:
It probably is stock 340 if you did the ota update which is at&t version of froyo for the streak. If you want to tether try barnacle always worked for me. You will have to sideload it because at&t blocks some apps in the market. When i had my captivate i learned a nifty lil trick you can put your phone in airplane mode then turn on wifi go search the market for the at&t blocked app and it would show up worth a try. The power widget on the phone long hold the screen and check widgets.recalibrate your screen that will help don't realy know how to post links so (search, search, search) everything you need to know can be found here on xda its the best site ever hope that helps you some. Remember search i cant stress enough how important it is. Alot of smart people on here i learn something new on xda everyday.
[Streak 5 General] Krad:
I came from a captivate....

the buttons in the drop down are part of samsung touchwiz and not android itself.

you can get the same desired effect with more buttons using Power Control Plus.
[Streak 5 General] rruckster:
Thanks guys for your help. How about the backlit buttons that don't light up when touching the screen? Is that normal? Also, can the haptc feedback be lowered?
[Streak 5 General] fleurdelisxliv:
I just turn the feedback off i havent really paid any attention to the lights but i will now. if u root just use superoneclick v1.7 works great just get the right dell drivers.
[Streak 5 General] Krad:
There is only 3 buttons, so it isn't difficult to memorize where they are after 2 days of use.. I personally like the buttons off...

Dell's version of froyo does not have alot of the features that the Samsung roms have. There is no vibrate intensity setting, no font changing setting (use font changer from market).

I just got 2.2.2 loaded and that has the option to make a sound when you unlock the streak.

You sacrifice a few options with the streak, but it is rock solid stable and doesn't need any tweaks besides spare parts windows and transition options set to fast. so it is lightening fast.
[Streak 5 General] rruckster:
I think I have found the problem. It looks like the light sensor is bad or a software issue that is causing the sensor not to work. On auto brightness it does nothing. I called Dell and they confirmed that the buttons should light up when the screen is touched. and that it is likely a defective sensor. I am going to return it for a new one. On a positive note, the screen had been running at only 1/4 brightness. Display looks MUCH better now that I have turned up the brightness a bit.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Corell:
Sorry if this might be a n00b question, but I don't seem to be clear on the subject. Will this allow for me to attach a usb harddrive or usb-stick as add-on storage via a usb-micro-usb connector?

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martino2k6:
Yes, it should work providing the microUSB port can provide enough power to drive your HDD (or if it comes with an adaptor).

I remember having USB OTG on one of my Cowon players and it made life so much simpler when I wanted to copy somebody's music over to my player, or pictures from a camera. Only question is, what kind of devices will Samsung give us support for (I guess once they give out the kernel sources this should become less of an issue).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Corell:
Thanks added :)

Guess it will provide an easy way to add much more storage to the phone without having to swap multiple memory cards :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FLAC Vest:
^That never occured to me, I'm really excited now. Being able to hook up a hard drive or something to copy a movie or two over before a long trip is a plus.

Wait does it have a microusb or full one

Sorry I'm a noob
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Virtue94:
It's micro. Being the world's thinnest smartphone, it doesn't really make sense to have a full USB port does it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] horusray:
SGS2 isn't the world's thinnest smartphone. I read an article on Engadget saying a recently released Japanese phone is.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Virtue94:
Fine, I'll concede that. Let me rephrase: Being an extremely thin smartphone, it doesn't really make sense to have a full USB port does it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FLAC Vest:
It has a mmicro USB that doubles as an HDMI. Crazy stuff.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FLAC Vest:
Yea, there's this 2.2 Android phone coming out that is a couple of tenths of a mm thimbleful; however, there are things called set points which are the minimum points where we can discern differences. I think 8 mm give or take a tenth reaches that.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ptrout:
will this also allow for usb Kb or mouse ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NZtechfreak:
Possibly, but the phone should already support BT keyboard and mouse anyways, which is much more convenient.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MedicStuder:
Hello all. I have seen posts within threads about the samsung airave. I am thinking of obtaining one because a lot of places I go to away from my home don't have good sprint coverage. I am just curious as to how many people have one and how much u paid for the unit ad how much u pay per month. I have seen posts where people got it for free (no monthly and no initial cost) and others that have to pay per month or only paid for the unit. Any insist and help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Overstew:
It'll only cover your home, and up to 5,000 feet (probably very poor signal outside the 1,000 foot radius). If you signal is poor inside your house, then you can get on for free.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MedicStuder:
So I couldn't get one and take it with me to a family members house when I visit and plug into their internet and use it. I would have to leave it at home and only use it there?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
Yes, there is a gps chip in the airrave to ensure its not used to get service in an area other than your home.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MedicStuder:
Really??? Wow!!! Did not know that. In my opionion that's kinda sh**y. But that's just my opionion. Thanks for the info everyone.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jesse Buck:
I might be wrong but I thought the gps chip is to keep people from using it internationally.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Overstew:
This too. You have to also have the airave hooked up to a high internet packaged router/modem.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emkman:
That is not accurate. I have an Airave and I will try to answer all your questions.

On price, the hardware costs $99 retail. As you mention, there is lots of wiggle room there. I called retentions and told them I have no service out my house, which is true, and is why I need the Airave. You have to pay on your credit card upfront but they will give you a $99 statement credit, making it free. Then, to use the Airwave, the feature must be added to you account. It costs $5/month. The rep I spoke to would not wave this fee. I decided to pay it but you could try talking to a few people. They claim they cannot wave it because making calls using the Airave does not count against your minutes and so you have to pay something for the service. This is true, a tleast that it doesn't use your minutes. I never worry about minutes anyway, and I bet a nice rep could wave it, but it really is a good deal for $5/month to go from no bars to full bars in your house.

How does the Airwave work? It is a mini CDMA cell tower that uses VoIP as the backend to connect your call to the phone network. Specifically, the Airwave establishes a secure VPN to Sprint when it is booted, which can take a good few minutes. By default, any Sprint phone can connect to your Airave. You can choose to restrict to certain phone numbers to keep your neighbors from hogging your bandwidth. This is configured through Sprint, not locally on the device. Verizon phones cannot connect. I do not know about Boost or Virgin but I think I read they do not work either.

So why the GPS? While Sprint ideally only wants you using the Airave in your "home" location, the reality is that the GPS is required so that the Airave doesn't

run afoul of the FCC. Broadcasting in the CDMA spectrum must only be done in locations for which Sprint has a license, otherwise laws are broken, and ridiculous fines are theoretically involved. In other words, the GPS is there to keep you from using the Airave in other countries, but it should work most anywhere in the US. Otherwise, a specific "home address" is not being enforced. You can use it California today and Kansas tomorrow and it should work fine. If you do go oversees, I can think of a few cool hacks you could use, including spoofed GPS signals at the broadcast/antenna level using software radio, cutting the GPS output from the chip on the circuit board and replacing it with a microcontroller that just outs NMEA data, custom firmware hacks, the list goes on :)

The one hack I have done is replacing the stock antenna with a high gain one. I had to get a pigtail and cut the stock antenna "lock" ring with a dremel. I haven't measured the signal gain so I can't really say it was worth it, but it was fun.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MedicStuder:
Thank you. Now that makes logical sense.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] musclehead84:
Emkman- would an airrave be.of any benefit.if you have say half signal at your house? Would sprint give it to me for free it do they only do that if you have no signal? Also are the speeds the same connected to an airrave or different? Thanks

I got my Airave for free, and it cost absolutely nothing per month on my bill, i got that waived too. The Airave is assigned a phone number on your Sprint bill, take it wherever you want to, you might have to call Sprint though when you relocate it to get it up and running again, I took mine to my fiancee's house, plugged it in the router, and was able to use it there with no issues.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insanity213:
I have an airave that Sprint gave me for free due to many dropped calls around my house. In my situation it does more harm than good, so it's been unplugged for the last 2 weeks or so. If you're on an airave call, it doesn't get handed off to the real cell tower network. So if you're on the phone and you want to leave your house, too bad. Likewise, if your on a call when you come home, it doesn't hand the active call off to your airave, so if I come inside and go downstairs to my office I drop the call anyway. Also, it only allows 5 or 6 sprint phones to connect to it - and not ones that you choose. So if you have some friends/neighbors with Sprint that come over and they fill up the airave before you do - too bad again. In many cases I had to power cycle the airave to get my own phone to connect again (which takes forever). Sprint also mandates that the Airave be the 1st device behind your cable modem. So if your modem is integrated with your router, WAP, etc... you'll have a problem. There are ways to get it to work behind your own device, but Sprint will always point the finger if you configure it as such (even when there is a known airave outage going on, gotta love scripted tech support). When you combine the fact that I have to quite often power cycle the airave and it sits between the Internet connection and my LAN - I had to kill internet to my house several times a week in order to use the thing.

On the plus side, you get blazing fast 3g speeds through the new generation airave (you damn well better, its your own broadband!) In the case of the smartphone, who cares - just fire up your Wifi. If you have very bad or no cell coverage whatsoever this is probably a very good solution. Personally I find Roam Control to be a better solution for my specific situation.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olddocwhite:
I am thinking about getting the Airave but this is what Sprint says:

Great news! You will be able to use the AIRAVE Access Point in the areas displayed below. However, there is no coverage for the AIRAVE at this location yet.

Now that is totally confusing! The map shows that I am covered. Guess I need to call sprint.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] socos25:
You actually can limit the users on the airave. I've done it just for that reason. Only my wife and I can use the airave. I believe you can set it by telephone #, look through the manual you will find it.

Edit: you can limit access on www.sprint.com you have to access your account.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gradynyc:
Airrave will go 8,000 square feet. I have the soc on my account. They can power it up that far. I was able to get it free, you can restrict phones in your account settings or keep it open.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjjjayd13:
Did not work out!

Recieved the Airave tried to make calls but 2 out of 10 would drop after starting the conversation.

Tried to get Sprint Tech to help with FIOS router but to no avail.

Call FIOS but as far as they were concerned I had a 'Great' singnal, which I did.

Just called Sprint to return, I'm in Pgh, PA area.

Hope this helps.:confused:

ps-Sprint should take the time to provide instructions to provide info to setup different routers, ie FIOS.:mad:
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] austin420:
ive seen some misconceptions in this thread.

on sprint.com you can limit and restrict airave usage to only numbers on your account, or just numbers of your choosing.

also on sprint.com you can provision it to broadcast up to 8000 feet. mine works well 14 houses up the block. i dont know how many feet that is.

to who said it doesnt hand off to hard towers, you are correct. mine drops the call on the 15th house. also, when me and the old lady are fighting, and i hear her out on the porch talking **** to her friends, i can unplug it and it drops the call instantly. she hates me.

i have an airave 2 (capable of 3g). i was not charged anything for this. not for the equiptment or the service fee. i was told by a sprint rep that they didnt even have a way to charge for it and it was specifficaly a free item upon approval by retentions. im not sure why one would have to put it on their credit card, doesnt sprint bill to the account for small charges like the supposed 99 dollars?

last point. it is "airave" not airwave.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flyers2114:

hi all member

Could you please feedback what is benefit between install the froyo and Gingerbread ?....

Benefit, problem, advantage, issue ...?

James
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] emottier:
Gingerbread

Gingerbread is so fast compare to Froyo, you would not believe it?

But Gingerbread has no sense (except sense theme from Mccm), has no Internet passthrough and some apps do not work with it. SPBTV 2.0 is an example for me.

This is my point of view.

I will never come back to Froyo.

I am Magldr, WP7, Mccm GB v2.1. THE BEST!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dark.angel:
Why there is NO CLEAN SD/MAGLDR BUILDS of Gingerbread, without sense, CM mod etc...? Each avaliable 2.3 build is customized and very unoriginal :( Hope the situation will change...

check out AmeriCanAndroid.

it's a SD build, clean, based on CM7 Gingerbread, 2.3.3 to be specific. And is natively built as a Leo, not another device as is common amongst HD2 builds.

where can i get an OS from ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] davemaster:
Well in my experience, Gingerbread is extremely fast, true, but Froyo is not bad and very stable. The best i tried for froyo was

[Dec 10][SD] NexusHD2-FRG83D V1.8 (PPP + RMNET) [Kernel: hastarin r8.5.3_oldcam], and i got very used to it, all my apps works well and fast enough. gaming (emulators, ps snes genesis n64...), all programs (social, productivity, work...) basically all the apps. My first real jump to gingerbread after many hesitation due to reading the forums was a month ago i tried with CM7 then another stock like (can't remember which one , sorry!), lots of hiccups and incompatible with many apps I loved and can't live without, don't get me wrong they were good but, from my point of view,coming from all the goodies in froyo did not beat the speed gingerbread offered. So i went back to froyo again using [DL Desire v4.32][Sense Re-Engineering with RAM][Always FASTER], which is blazing fast but lags some times (best quadrant score i've seen in all roms i've tested).

So my 2 cents is that it really depends on the user. I would absolutely go 100% gingerbread with AmeriCanAndroid AOSP HD2 GB233 CM7|bkup2sdext234 [KERNEL:AmCanAndroid r3.06], because this is the best I have tested very fast stable and all that you can get from gingerbread on your HD2, however not compatible with my favorite apps. So until I can work around those, Froyo is still my best option and there are very decent one out there with good tweaking options (setCPU...). Choices choices Gingerbread vs Froyo means to me Speed vs Compatibility, hopefully we can get best of both world soon.

NB: I am talking about SD only, no MAGDLR or Ram as I have seen no real difference running SD or Ram in terms of speed or battery or at least not very noticeable, So I like to keep my WM around just in case since i tend to go crazy on all the options offered so in case of android crash and urgency i can boot back and respond fast on my weak but trusty WM.
