Apparently I installed something for free without thinking ... NOTHING IS FREE and now I am getting little banners here and there .. I was going to reset my Streak to BRAND NEW and start all over but I am afraid I won't be able to find my way back to installing "swype."
Is there a way to find out which app is putting the banners on my streak ?
What ever the ad is, it started T-Mobile billing me a $10 per month membership to something .. I don't know what, but they canceled it for me ..
I was thinking .. . A good thread or sub-category to add would be applications that attack your android.

Its hard to say Diane without me going through your phone and haveing a look ,a hard reset may be the solution especially if it signed you up to something. if its only swype stopping you doind a reset a have the apk for swype,if it was me i would reset
root your phone and install adfree from the market. problem solved.
just wipe the phone, its quicker than fannying about trying to find out what happen. never install programs that look iffy. basically this comes from experience. troll the market and get to know the market trends. but really if you want to install free apps and believe me there are some fantastic free apps, just root your device and install the adfree program and you will never see them again

If starting from scratch is what I have to do to get rid of these annoyances, then I may as well root it first. BUT ...
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha ... I HAVE NO CLUE HOW TO DO THAT!! Even thinking about doing it scares me. I am such a coward. I visualize myself holding the "brick" and saying out loud to nobody .. "NOW WHAT?"
I remember opening FULL windows mobile on my first HTC Shift. I printed out the instructions and highlighted each step as I completed it. You would think I was doing brain surgery.

Yep it is scary Diane but very easy,well i thought so anyway go here
http://android.modaco.com/content/d...-4399-how-to-root-your-dell-streak-superboot/
Read how to do it first but basically download the super boot,,,Put your device in boot loader mode,,Unplug the device from your PC,,, remove the device battery,,, then replace it and turn device on with the camera button pressed. Select the 'fast boot' text on the top right, wait around 10 seconds then plug the device into your PC. The screen display should change to 'FAST BOOT MODE'. If it doesn't, repeat and retry,,,if you are using WINDOWS - double click 'install-super boot-windows.bat'
Wait for it to Finnish and viola
A couple of programs you will need as well are Root Explorer and a good file explorer i use ES File Explorer both can be found in market place free
Hope that has helped you any probs shout some one will come running and good luck
agreed. very easy to root. one of the easiest devices infact. ive rooted G1/desire/nexus one/G2/droid/x10 and the streak was the easiest of them all. it is pretty much:
place item on sd card>flash>profit
Well .. maybe I will give it a try tonight or later. Android is so new to me I don't even know how to sync anything .. not my contacts or anything. I need the book, Android for Dummies I think. I have been a WinMo person since the beginning of time .. I guess that was WinCE... Hope I can find my SWYPE download email .. I cannot do without swype .. besides being an android virgin, that is the one thing keeping me from taking the rooting-step.
I will come back at noon .. gotta figure out how to get the 'stuff' on to my card. but for now I should get in the shower. Should have been at the office 30 minutes ago.

Either/ or
Easiest way is to go through your streak browser, as its pretty much automatic, I'm not sure if that way wipes your streak, but it may do.
If you download on desktop pc then copy to sdcard, you'll need to rename it to update.pkg and boot into recovery mode (press both volume buttons at the same time as turning the streak on). Then follow the onscreen instructions
This won't give you root but should give you the latest software... Be aware it will wipe your device, (not the sdcard) so make sure your contacts and anything you may have saved on internal memory)etc are synched
I am gonna give it a go .. Nothing much to lose on the Streak and if worse comes to worse .. I will have an excuse to go back to my iPhone. Still .. Fingers crossed.
1st problem. At first I was going to download the file in my browser but changed my mind .. Can't get it to stop .. I have even taken out the battery and restarted. My streak is determined to download that file no matter what.
I am going to just let it carry on. I don't have the Streak connected to wi-fi so this is going to be timely . . but it is just a waste of time because ..
I tried the doing the update by installing it on my sd card .. All seemed to be going well .. then I got this message. "fota model name mismatch system will reboot in 30 seconds ... "
AND SO .. NOTHING NEW .. NO CHANGES ..
The download finished and I clicked to install etc .. Got the same error .. and it wouldn't install.

untill it starts to be in all the roms, any way to flash this?
i have the apk, tried to do it through App Installer
gonna try adb next
a few people are having problems with getting it to work on cyanogen based roms
I assume, though I could be totally wrong, that there will be no need to flash this or install it. Your market will just show up looking like that someday. In engadget's post about it, they mention "Google's pushing the update to every Android 1.6-and-above device over the next couple of weeks".
im not sure when ill add it ,, looks like some people are haven issues with apps ,, also not sure if i like the fact that if u pay for a app u only have 15 minutes to ask for a refund ,, what if the app works fine , then later on it doesnt work right? i guess u bought a bad app lol i dunno not sure if i like that
As far as I can tell, it's all just a new interface, plus, they changed things like only having 15mins now to get a refund instead of the 24hrs... which is kind of retarded.
The new market is working fine, all apps dloaded with it stick after reboot. If you're using this on a 2.1 rom, delete the Vendor.odex file in system/app if your rom isn't deodex'd already.
if you're on a CM rom, just rename the .apk to Vendor.apk (if it's named something else) and put it in system/app using adb or a file manager.
I attached it already renamed if anyone wants it...
So this is not a pushed update as engadget stated? How are all the other non-rooted android users gonna get it?

I'm not sure exactly, my guess would be through your google account, since it isn't a carrier specific update...
anyone know the answer to this?
I can make a flashable zip for those interested... even though all of you should be able to use adb or a file manager and place it in system/app by now
A flashable zip would be great. How did the market get the new "similar" and "related" tabs? I assumed this update would be pushed the same way. Btw, where are you getting the file to even make a flashable zip? Is it in the Android SDK or something?

This zip works great for me so far. Though I dont like the new market. The tabs made it easier to flip between things and the rotating apps at the top is slow on a slow phone. It looks like they tried to make it look nicer (and failed in my opinion) but ended up making it less functional.
Google apps always look simple and sophisticated. This Market overhaul looks overdone and tacky with too much "pizzaz".

Yeah, that shocked me. 15 minutes isn't much time to make sure an app works fine for your purposes. For apps that have free/trial versions, then you can check those out first, but what if it's the paid options that don't sufficiently work. I think one or two hours is reasonable, but 15 minutes is ridiculous.
I think ROMs should keep the current version of the market and people can use flashable zips to go to the new version if they want.
Ok....very frustrating morning. A simple task as sending a torrent from me evo to my vibrant and have had nothing but headaches. The attachment sent but can't be touch in the gmail app on the vibrant running eclair. I can't update gmail thru the market cuz they're idiots. Wth? Why isn't there an update avail for it? Any assistance please. I can't update my firmware cuz the vibrant isn't activated. The Rom manager only gives me one Rom avail for the vibrant.
Thanks in advance....now I got to go get rounded before the hulk comes to play....so frustrated! Lol
Sometimes if I can't download a file with my email, I go through my browser to mail.google.com and it will download the attchment.
[Q] If the vibrant isn't activated can you even access the market or the web?
download ASTRO FILE MANAGER FROM MARKET go to settings scroll down all the way check option allow download , np . ( downlaod astro file manager from any site if not market paste it on your sd and run it)
Ya I saw ppl resorted to browser download but what's the point of having the app for convenience. Yes insured unknown app DL was enabled, still no gmail attachment DL. Guys has no one ever dealt with this? Why isn't there an update? How can i bypass this? My vibrant phone isn't activated to network but still usable as a tablet along side my HTC evo. Never had any issue like this before.
i have not have problerm downloading thing that are less than 5 mb not sure about about goin above it
and i download full roms on my phone from web pages

Knock on your provider/OEM door - Google is not responsible for whatever OEM/carrier does with its OS.
Ummm ya they do. Sprint don't go in and add restrictions, its Google on be half of Sprint. Obviously there is a bug some where. Is there really no assistance on this? Feel like Samsung dev has been neglected. I doubt Samsung will direct exactly to the apk file. And if youve managed to speak with Google, you are of the divine! Cuz those fully automated omnipotent bastards are of no help!
Seriously? There is no way to correct this gmail problem? Just never gonna have attachments? I know if anybody had this issue there would be a post of some kind, but search has turned up nothing. What is the current version of gmail for vibrants? thanks for help guys
because torrents arent meant to be on cell phones... probly why gmail wont do it, jus use a file manager like they said above, and the carriers do lock down the OS... thats why we had to wait for tmo's froyo instead or google or sansung's
Hmmm helpful.... thanks guys : /

It is probably already booted. If you are still seeing a blue screen you have missed a key step (but your doing great if you are this far!)...You need to open AndroidVNC viewer (or your favorite vnc viewer) and configure it as directed in the directions. Address is Localhost, port is 5900, password is ubuntu. Then select the connect button and you will be off to the races! Did you install busy box yet? Just make sure to read the directions, I got hung up there in the beginning also until I went back and read it again.
So in the terminal after typing:
su
cd /sdcard/ubuntu
sh ubuntu.sh
Now press the home button and open and configure the VNC viewer. You only need to configure it once. After that it will remember everything and you can just open it and press connect.
yeah it had booted even though it said "this can take some time..."
thanks its all working now
i never overclocked as my streak wont work with setcpu
but gimp still opens up quite fast

No problem. You can change the screen resolution to fit perfect to your streak if you open the file manager in ubuntu and go to root/init.sh and open that with leafpad or gedit and change the resolution to 800x480. Overclocking it makes it insanely quick. I can open openoffice in under 5 seconds. Also if you run the update manager you can update to 11.04 no problems though it takes about 8 hours lol.

Yes gladly, the best one in my opinion is free from the market. It is called "Android Terminal Emulator" made by Jack Palevich. If you search Terminal Emulator with the search function in the market it is in the first few results.

I was using Ubuntu for a while and now im very impressed with the work of bringing ubuntu to mu Mighty Streak. But there something i'd like to be clear before i go ahead.
1. As far as i know, this Ubuntu will be run on Vnc environment under Android OS, am i correct?
2. If 1 is a Yes, that means that i can back to Android at anytime to make fone call, text, ect...
3. If 1 is a No, so how Ubuntu works? And how can i do 2?
4. How long did the battery last?
Thi is it. Will ask you more if any.

1. Yes it is.
2. Yes, you can toggle between the two. If you get a call it will overtake your ubuntu session, sort of like when you are browsing the web or really in any app and get a call.
4. I leave my ubuntu session up and running all the time, phone overclocked to 1.27 ghz and with heavy I mean HEAVY use I get about 10-12 hours of use. If I am being a normal person and not face palanted in my phone it lasts a whole day. With setcpu you can do quite a few neat things like underclock the phone when the screen is off and of course if you are using wireless rather than 3g that always helps almost double the battery life for data usage is concerned.
Also to help with battery I am using a solid black wallpaper. Not sure if it helps a bunch but it takes less to keep the screen lit, in Ubuntu and on my phone.
If you have any more questions I will do my best to answer. If you get stuck at any point and need help feel free to pm me and I will do my best to help.

No problem.
1. Download all of the files (you need all of the files in order to extract the first one, otherwise it wont work)
2. Make sure you have 7zip or alzip or really any zip tool installed on your computer
3. The first ubuntu zip (ubuntu.zip.001) is the one you need to extract. So right click the file and choose the option "extract to /ubuntu" under 7-zip or which ever tool you are using to extract. It will create a folder with all of the files you need called Ubuntu. You just move that folder to your sd card. The file is broken into 4 parts which I am guessing is due to a file size restriction with the file hosting company used. So once you extract the first ubuntu zip you have everything you need, it's just confusing because it seems like you need to extract all four. I hope that helps.

Sadly no... sorry.
Okay, I have the files extracted and placed on the SD card.
New problem.
I am running 1.2 of the new superclean version.
I have done the factory reset and cleared the dalvik cache.
I even went as far as to format the SD card prior to installing the new OS.
There are perhaps 12 programs in my downloaded apps list and half of those are actually updates of previously installed apps.
In Application Manager there are zero applications listed under the SDcard tab.
I'm getting a message that I need to move some of my apps off of the SD card because there are too many to establish a "loop" for Ubuntu to run in.
Any ideas?
Could you write something about performance of ubuntu? its take long time to load system and apps , freezes? and how to comeback from ubuntu to android? restart phone?
Hello. I had a game from internet called the world of magic 1.1.0 and it worked perfectly on my glaxy 5 i5500 and now they updated it on android market and i cant download it anymore cause now it sais it wont work but it does. Most of the games work on android market that it sais it wont. So Im begging for help or advice what to do cause the game is my favourite. (i hate android market) I think it should be free to download any free game you want and see if it works or not or have the warning that it might not work and you can still download it. What should i do, cause i cant find the 1.1.1 update on google only 1.1.0. It's a free app too so no one has posted it anywhere. I was wondering that maybe Some of you could do the hassle and get me the apk of The World Of Magic 1.1.1 update. or should I somehow contact the game owners? which will take longer i think
I thought you can pay for it and if you change your mind, you have 15 minutes to uninstall to get a refund?
its a free game.. so what refund could i get? XD
Its not the market, on app upload the dev can specify a minimum DPI(ldpi, mdpi or hdpi) to install, so blame the dev.
Sent from... somewhere...
it really does suck. cause i contacted the game devs. they didnt even aprove my post on their forums. Stupid i tell you ... Its like this with most of the games. The games run on my phone but it sais its not compadible i think its cause i have small phone (galaxy 5 i5500)
I've tried rooting the phone or whatever but none of the rooting things work for me. Anyways i read somewhere when you root your phone you can change the name of ur phone so it would say something else for the phone name on the android market.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
The market looks at your dpi in build.prop, which governs the scale of the UI, so putting it above the default is a very bad idea, I tried it once take it from me.
Yes you require root for it though, possibly s-off

Hi, I am based in HongKong. I received a Prime purchased in US 3 days ago, already updated to ICS pre purchase and with latest market version. However I have been facing couple of serious issues :
1. While I can see all the paid apps while browsing the market but if i try to purchase anything, it given me "error: item you are trying to purchase cannot be found". I tried purchasing same app from my HTC DHD (rooted w Android Revolution ROM) and did not face any problem! HongKong does have paid app availability so I dont think root should be necessary unless ICS changed that?
2. The search in the market seems horribly broken. I dont even get Skype to show up if i search for it. I had to google and follow the link to market to download it..
Any suggestions? Do I need to reinstall ICS? I have already tried doing a factory reset but it dint help..
China firewall censored it. LOLJK but I don't know.

hehe.. well thnks for trying! i wud have actually thought something like that too but given it works all fine on phones.. had to eliminate that option.
good news.. think the problem got solved for me after I did a hard reboot. Hold the power button down+VolDown button during startup till it takes you to the Wipe Data screen. After wiping data when it restarted I DID NOT ENTER MY GMAIL ID. (i dont know if that made the difference but thought will mention it). I skipped the gmail entry at startup and went straight to the market and entered gmail id there when asked. Could start to purchase apps fine now
Hope it helps anyone else facing the issue.
PS: I did a reinstall of ICS prior to trying the hard reboot.. but just reinstall alone did not help.
