Guest jnovello Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 (edited) ok folks its time for a dev to ask for some help :) just got hold of a av dock for me streak and been playing around with hdmi out, wondering if anyone could tell me if theirs a way to force hdmi output of videos as rockplayer doesn seem to allow it only dells internal player (dropped to 2.1 to test) looking for ideas of what decides output to try and fix on my 2.2 I can't remember where exactly, but I remember I read a post at XDA where someone got full use out of the Hdmi. Come to think of it I don't even think it was on a Streak, but it was an Android device. I have the dock as well. I'll look around. Real HDMI app does it.....

Guest punkrckriot Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 The Real HDMI app would be nice to have on the streak. The dock is unless for hdmi right now. I use it as a bedside charger/clock mount right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use it as a bedside charger/clock mount right now I found the apk last night. I'm going to see if it works in a bit. When I first got my streak the charging cable didn't work, so I spent a week with no charge waiting for the dock to arrive. It's been invaluable to me for charging and USB needs. Fiddling with that damn cable is so annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest degriz Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 IM guessing this is a hdmi/locked fps vs no hdmi unlocked fps app? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest madd_dog Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Does any one know how to turn the alarm "on" when connected to the DOCK. I use the dock as a charging station during night and I cant seem to get the alarm working. Help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest noboard Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Same problem. I use the dock at night, never had a problem with alarm. When docked and clock showing, alarm icon is bottom left. Press this to set and view alarms. I have alarm for weekdays and another for sundays. It happily switches between them. If your phone is in silent mode, it can disable the alarm. This could be the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest paullong Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Hi, the problem (at least for me) is that the dock cuts the streak's internal speaker off, assuming you want sound to go through the "line out". The setting for this doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could be the problem. My phone is not in the silent mode. If the alarm is ringing and I pull the phone off from the dock, I can hear the alarm from the internal speaker. As soon as i plug it back in the sound's gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JaysFreaky Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Running 1.5.1 and have no problems with the alarm going off when plugged into the dock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ap4001 Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 My phone is not in the silent mode. If the alarm is ringing and I pull the phone off from the dock, I can hear the alarm from the internal speaker. As soon as i plug it back in the sound's gone. I was on 1.4.6 and alarm was working with the dock. Suddenly one day it stopped working with same problem you are encountering. That was the tipping point for me to stop tinkering and giving up on modded roms so I decided to go to stock 2.2 and all is working well now.

That could be one of the solution, but I like Steve's rom and I would like to use my alarm and docking station with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest madd_dog Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 Running 1.5.1 and have no problems with the alarm going off when plugged into the dock. Inspiring from this, I did a factory reset. And as long as I dont turn the "enable speaker by default" my phone rings on the dock. I will try with alarm tomorrow.

Guest Truenash Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 For me, when I plug the dock in I get an option to disable the phones speaker in favour of a speaker plugged into the dock. I click cancel to leave the phones speaker enabled. Is this option not appearing on Steves rom? You can choose to always use the phones speaker from the dock settings, which can be accessed from the clock/clock dock app with the menu key.

I get the prompt, hit "cancel" to leave the phone speaker enabled, but it's like the system isn't respecting that preference. Like M_D, if my phone is docked when the alarm is going off, nothing happens...pick phone up from dock, alarm starts playing through the phone speaker no problem.

Guest m0bi1e Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Thanks Madd_dog. That just ended two months of the dock annoying the hell out of me.

Guest Truenash Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 I found usb hubs will refuse to recognise it, even powered ones. Needs to be plugged into main motherboard usbs. What are you plugging yours in to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
