Guest coronet Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 I just want to confirm if this is a software problem of a hardware problem: do people put their phones in their pocket, walk around a little bit, pull their phone out to find it has turned off or booted to the Dell splashscreen at least a couple times a day? This is starting to drive me crazy, and I want to know if this is something I should call Dell about. Assuming my previous five Streaks returned hasn't voided my warranty already...

Guest kolloff Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 Just reflash your Nandroid backup from before you added tabmail. I know you wouldn't flash a new ROM without first making a full Nandroid Backup! Well - Let us imagine that I did not made a Nandriod backup! (in fact I don't even know that application :) ) Are you saying that it was because of the use of tabmail that my data network is not working now? I do not have any backup so what can I do now to get my phone connected? Thank you in anticipation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine reboots itself almost daily id say. Quite annoying but not life ending. Dunno if anyone else has the same problem... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has been discussed at length for months. A simple seaech would have answered your question more quickly. In your pocket: screen facing out (away from your skin) = no reboots. Facing in (toward skin) = reboots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In your pocket: screen facing out (away from your skin) = no reboots. Facing in (toward skin) = reboots. That is a fix if your streak is doing it only when you have it in your pocket. But alot of people have had it restart on it's own with no one touching it for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I was responding to the three posts directly above mine that were discussing the reboot problems they were having when removing their Streak from their pocket.

Guest Luxusxda Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Hi, I have a problem which has been present in all of the streakdroid builds I have tried since 1.6.0 and in the official froyo builds. It is basically a general drastic slowdown of the phone when a call is dropped for any reason (can be on my side due to lost signal or the other side). I have run watchdog and it reports 100% cpu usage of "system process" (I suspect it's the phone.apk?). If a the person I was talking to calls again in this period I have great difficulty answering because the "slide to answer" is completely unresponsive. This usualy lasts for a minute or so and than the phone becomes completely responsive again. My current buid: 1.9.0 noapps, perfmod (it happens even without perfmod). Does anyone else have this problem? Please help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone else have this problem? Please help. I've had this problem also, even with the shipped 1.6 and the Dell Froyo. I put the problem down to hardware as all the software versions do the same thing. My conclusion was that when having a phone call the screen is against your face and it warms it up and gives the phone the impression the whole screen is being touched and throws it into confusion. "slide to answer" or screen unlock pattern doesn't work or works a little, when the screen cools down a bit its fine again. Currently running 1.6.1 as battery life lasts 2-3 days! :mellow: Edited April 28, 2011 by MrMartay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kolloff Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 No connection to mobile data network? Please Please Please! I really need some one to give me a hint please! I have read to my eyes are red but I cannot find anything about this problem. I have no data network connection. I have now (for the first time) used QDL to install a new version. So at the moment I have some sort of stock Froyo from Dell. Andriod version: 2.2 Baseband: GAUSB1A130500-EU Build Number :10688 OEM Version GAUSB1A130500 Kernel version 2.632.9-perf I would really like to understand why this could happen and what I shall do to get my phone back to function. I previous wrote: I have had 1.9.0 running for some time. I then tried to get tabmail to work with my POP3 account. All sorts of problem with that mail app. (Did not showed the incoming mails, only loaded 25 mails etc.) I tried to clear data. Then the mail app crashed every time I started it. Then I made a factory reset and flashed the 1.9.0 again (without tabmail). And now I have no data network connection at all?? I have tried al sorts of things but no connection to mobile data network? install.txt: adwlauncher volboost bios noswype Can any one please give me a hint of what I shall do? Well - Let us imagine that I did not made a Nandriod backup! (in fact I don't even know that application :mellow: ) Are you saying that it was because of the use of tabmail that my data network is not working now?

Guest DoctorWkt Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 I hope it's OK to post a question about upgrading ROMs here; if not please point me at the best place. I want to upgrade to Steve's 1.9.0 ROM, but I've not done it before & want to be fully prepared. I've got access to the internal 2G SD card as mentioned in this forum. I want to pull out and keep the existing 2G card untouched, and buy/use a new 4G SD card. The same forum indicates that a ROM upgrade can be done even when the internal card is blank. I'm currently on O2 2.1 build 6941, unlocked, baseband GAUSB1A120321-EU, and I've got the ams.mbn file from the 1.9.0 forum. Question: if I flash the 1.9.0 ROM and the baseband onto the new empty internal SD card, can I simply swap between the old and new SD cards to switch between ROMs, or is there some other internal memory which stores information that would prevent such a swap? Thanks in advance and looking forward to the upgrade. Warren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, the cpu usage is 100% - it has to be something with how android handles dropped calls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest krazman Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Baseband Version: GAUSB1A130500 I think you posted previously that you are running DJ Steves 1.9.0. His instructions cleqrly state that you MUST be running at least bb 318. He also gives instructions and a iink to the amss download. I suggest you re-read the original post in this thread.

His instructions cleqrly state that you MUST be running at least bb 318. He also gives instructions and a iink to the amss download. I suggest you re-read the original post in this thread. As I wrote in the beginning: I have had 1.9.0 running for some time. I then tried to get tabmail to work with my POP3 account. All sorts of problem with that mail app. (Did not showed the incoming mails, only loaded 25 mails etc.) I tried to clear data. Then the mail app crashed every time I started it. Then I made a factory reset and flashed the 1.9.0 again (without tabmail). And now I have no data network connection at all?? I have tried al sorts of things but no connection to mobile data network? So I tried, in panic, something new by install another ROM with a different method. So I wrote: I have now (for the first time) used QDL to install a new version. So at the moment I have some sort of stock Froyo from Dell. Andriod version: 2.2 Baseband: GAUSB1A130500-EU Build Number :10688 OEM Version GAUSB1A130500 Kernel version 2.632.9-perf But it did not solved the problem. I am not, it any way, claim that there is something wrong with the ROM. (I have tried all of Steve's ROM without any problems) This just happened to me and I just have no clue how. But anyway, I have apparently done something wrong and it was just my hope that someone could give me a hint of how I could get my phone back to working order – before I do stupid things.

Thank you for the attention. Not an expert at all but wouldn't it be worthwhile trying to change your baseband? I mean I realize that going to a stock ROM didn't change the issue but maybe the baseband has been corrupted somehow? Just a thought... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have spend half the weekend now trying to solve the problem. I have tried to go back to 1.5.1 (phone worked) no data network. Went back to 1.9.0 can make calls but still no data network. (re-flashed baseband GAUSB1A131800-EU). All done with fastboot and clockwork. I wish I had more general knowledge and understanding on how these files works (image files, amss etc) and what they do. I wish I don't need to pull my old Nokia out - but I really don't know what to do now. Any kind person there have any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
