Guest popetodd Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Bug report: I lose my GPRS/HSDPA connections when the GPS activates and they do not return without reboot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CharlieBareham Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 yep you can Still having the same problem. Copied, rebooted, stuck on a loop. Pull battery, reboot, stays on the Dell Logo forever without booting. Am I doing something wrong? How long should boot take to apply a new prop file?

Guest Samuran Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Hey I have done this via the original method and is working nicely. One thing tho, has anyone got pc suite etc to work? I cannot find any drivers for the Dell Mini 5 my pc now detects and ive tried the three options the sdk drivers give me with no luck...? Its not that I use pc suite but its annoying that doubletwist doesnt detect the streak now... Any ideas anyone? Cheers Ben! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stephen Hyde Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 it should connect its a debug enabled boot so adb is active pretty early DELL PC SUITE WILL NOT WORK most likely as its utter crap and probably needs dell ui. just sync your contacts to google and use the gapps instead of the crap that is pc suite (thats actualyl a hack in android to get it to do it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(it was a PalmOS device and Outlook was Exchange at that time) So I really need this sh*t. Is there a 3rd party app which may help me sync my contacts,tasks and notes ? I really don't want to sync my everything with google and it does not support tasks/notes anyway. Thanks for any feedback.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest navrac Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 (edited) Bug report: I lose my GPRS/HSDPA connections when the GPS activates and they do not return without reboot. Once the gps has started try going into wireless settings>mobile network and then uncheck then recheck the data enable. This means you then have gps and gprs/3g simultaneously and can use google maps! Also just to back up the general feedback, the build.prop does sort out the camera, but the camcorder size/encoding selection is erratic. Titanium backup does seem to work now which is a relief. Oh by the way - I'm reporting findings not whining!! I'm loving this build. Going to drop Stephen a multi beer donation to say thanks for his hard work.

Guest jamezwarner Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 (edited) Here is my log data on then turning on gps on going to maps then mobile data dies immediately If you go in and toggle data off on in settings - it comes back and works together...2010_10_09_16_34_52.txt Edited October 9, 2010 by jamezwarner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TheRain Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 (edited) Amazing work Stephen- I'm up and running now with the update-new.zip version of the instructions from yesterday. Also, I'm using RebelSIM in the US on an O2 locked streak, and it's working great! Didn't even have to enter my APN info, and didn't have to update the baseband. Camera not currently working as stated. But overall, I'm totally amazed- I never expected we'd have a custom baked Froyo build that is this stable and useable by now! While Dell is toiling away to get a froyo build out, you've done it on your own and probably many of us will prefer your build over theirs once it's released anyway!

Guest Gopu Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Steve... Excellent job Can confirm that camera is workign with the build.prop that u posted. My 2 issues 1. Cant get fast webinstaller of appbrain to work. Installation of phone is fine but when i try to send something to phone, from web, it says that i have not installed appbrain. 2. Some times the accelerometer does not turn the phone as i change the from landscape to portrait. Have not tested GPS yet//// But will report.

Guest phjnky Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Anyone know what the line entry is in build.prop for the camera fix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest andycqos Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Been using the phone on 2.2 today and everything I tried worked fine ... but, the battery life was shocking! Only lasted 4 hours from full charge, and dropped from 20% straight to 1% :) Im going to try the airplane trick and new build.prop file, but can I use Fards excellent battery boost from here? It seemed to work on 2.1 but will it be ok to run on 2.2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't want to sync my everything with google and it does not support tasks/notes anyway. Thanks for any feedback.. I think I found a solution. Companionlink (on PC) and DejaOffice (on Streak) should be working fine to sync Outlook tasks/notes/contacts. But I'd prefer using embeded apps instead of any 3rd party, if possible. Any chance to import them to the Froyo build ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pjg_pigeon Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Took the plunge and updated this morning. Worked great under wifi. Just got back home from day out, been unable to use browser out of wifi area. I'm on O2, phone calls are fine but no browsing. Do I need to add APN SETTINGS? Getting a force close when checking for system updates, not a problem but I thought I would mention it. Brilliant work from djsteve and anyone whose assisted with this project.

Guest kibcom Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 DELL PC SUITE WILL NOT WORK most likely as its utter crap and probably needs dell ui. Actually not true. The latest DELL PC Suite works just fine. It's very quick compared to the previous version. It does exactly what it needs to do which is to synchronise microsoft outlook's calendar, notes, tasks and contacts with the Streak perfectly. For those of us who use Outlook to run our businesses, Dell PC Suite is essential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
