Any one else got unlocking the front screen issues. I can see it bit can I slide it........eventually it works but its a pain in the a$$.
I think I'll go back to the beta, it seems to work better.
Dell! Why are you stuffing up such an easy process. Give us stock android and go back to making computers! software is not your game!

Look for the user "knobs" on this forum has a program called "menu unlock" it requires root, but it allows using the menu key to unlock the phone like in the 1.6 builds, works great if my slide to unlock gets flakey, i just hit the menu button.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
thanks for the reply. The slide problem is annoying.
Has any one else had the same problem? The beta build had no problems, but the past 2 outputs have been rubbish.
I'll give the menu button fix ago

YES! I hate this unlock/lock screen in 2.1. I am always having a hard time getting it to work on the first try. The worst though is when I have to answer a call. It sometimes takes 4 or 5 swipes at it. My wife thought I was ignoring her call at the mall the other day because I could not get the thing to answer.
I'm the same, its gets so bad that I just give up and reboot.....gr rrrr

Weatherbug takes forever to load and loop radar. Radar now works really good but on the streak its really small. So I'm looking for something like radar now that is full screen.

Here we go again in the north east with another big snow storm. Sure would be nice to check radar updates while out there plowing the highways with a better radar app. I found redsky weather but its very limited and loads a little slow. Still looking for something like radar now but big enough that I can actually see detail in full screen

If your s ay ing that the app appears too small on your streak(the top left coner and doesn't extend the full length) it's because the applicagion was made for a different dpi. Changing your dpi will correct thos. Or you can messagw the developer to correct this as alot of apps don't utilize the fukl screen of our streak.

Thats exactly what im saying. I have emailed the developer but there has got to be some others like it out there. Its the best working radar app i have found, pertaining to load time and details it displays, its just the size needs to be fixed
I have the same issue with "Radar Now". It won't scale to the screen size.
Perhaps if everyone emailed the developer, he could update it.
I'm sure he has a small screen, and sized it accordingly.
weatherbug takes a bit to load if you turn off the auto update feature, but if you give it a minute to load, it is fine.

I have weather bug set to auto update every half hour and it still takes a while for it to load the animated radar.
I emailed the developed of radar now and he sent back a reply saying he doesn't have a test device.

Just found rainy days in the market. Awesome radar only app. Its looking good now, but will be able to judge it better when out in a storm plowing and checking radar on data rather than wifi

Looks very good but got flashing keys and rebooted my phone after 30 secs. Weird.
ok so i was given a dell streak for free because my dads old boss dropped it in the water. well i replaced the battery the phone works but i can not unlock it because it needs his google account and password. i can not get ahold of the previous owner. is there any way i can get it unlocked without his google account and password
I guess you can use the qdltool, then install.whatever rom you wanf.

Have you try factory reset on dell menu? I think if you do that, it will wipe all the personal data on the phone and starts like a new phone.
OK ill have to try that when I get home. I'll let you know how it goes

Listen, turn off streak, when completely turned off press both volume up and down button then power on, do not remove your fingers on up and down button until the 4 choice menu appears, do not remove your fingers when you see the dell logo, the 4 choice menu comes after the dell logo, i repeat, it comes after the dell logo so do not remove your fingers until you see the 4 choice menu. If you can not follow this instruction i do not know if you could follow the instruction on streakdroid on how to set up qdltool, that is the other way to reset your streak.

Hi tyler,
You have to click all those 3 buttons altogether and dont remove your fingers until the dell logo disappear and replaced by the menu.
Here is a link from streaksmart on how to get to the menu,actually this tutorial is how to calibrate screen, but it is on the same menu.

yeah, that is strange.Can you go on fastboot? that is poweroff your phone and then power on holding the camera button at the same time.
If you can do that, then I guess you can update the baseband and maybe can reset to recovery. Search for the forums on how to update baseband if you can go fastboot. I'm not really sure about this but have it a go.
thx i can get into fast boot ill give it a try
no success i think there may be some serious problems with the phone since it got dropped in salt water ill wait for boss to unlock it so i can see if it works... well thx for trying to help guys
Still do not have it unlocked boss is comming in may.. wish I could unlock this thing

Hi I am rooted and am running gsb 2.7 and my phone just started the scroll to the left problem when I set my phone to charge and its getting a little frustrating that I have to unplug it when I text someone. And I'm wondering if there is a script or something that I can use so it disables the use of the trackball so it doesn't scroll automatically.
Thanks

You should call Verizon for a free replacement. That is a known hardware issue.
Thanks I'm going to wait for the incredible 2 and see if they will discount it or something... lol

agreed, i would love to know if there is any way to disable the track ball, i have an eris that the trackball goes whack, but im on cricket so im sure verizon wouldn't take it back
I would love to disable the track ball as well. As for the free replacement that only applies to warrantied phones right?
Sent from my Eris using XDA App
i would also love for this. not scrolling yet, but highlighting random things. be nice to just dig it out and leave it out. but its more than just the ball i think. trackball doesnt even work in recovery anymore
I had a galaxy's, and recently I bought a Atrix.
I noticed that Atrix has a touch screen less sensitive than galaxy.
I've downloaded from the market "sgs touchscreen booster", this is an app to manage the touchscreen galaxy.
I tried it on 'Atrix and it works fine for me.
Now I am satisfied with the touchscreen.
If anyone has the same problem, I advise him to try.
Sorry for my bad English
I can not tell if it is even working.

It work very well for me.

Same. I still, along with (I think) everyone, have the issue with multi-touch when you hold fingers down for a certain number of seconds and the screen equalizes it, forcing you to wait a few seconds and try it again. This really annoys me on games like Jet Car Stunts, when, for example, I hold the accelerate button but eventually I have to let go and press it again to keep the car accelerating.
yeah that apparently is a feature and done by design from what I read. the problem i had was worse in the sent that imagine the screen going nuts after 5 seconds of activity.
Is there any way to increase the multitouch number. This app says it can but it doesn't work I know this is for the galaxy but is there any other way?

I was getting so annoyed of this phone because when i tried to typed i couldnt type one work without making a huge mistake because the screen wasnt picking up everything i guess. if i typed hey fast it would just type "hy" or something. but when i did this and put the sensitivity up to 80% and left the rest on default it fixed it. now i can type fast without any mistakes and it seems as it fixed multitouch problems as well! This app is definitely recommended.
I've always thought the Atrix screen could do with a higher sensitivity, after using the iphone. It might be all in the mind, but this app does seem to help. It is particularly noticeable when typing, I no longer have any missed letters where I haven't pressed hard enough.
Thanks for sharing this app
I recently purchased a Motorola Atrix 4G, its my first android phone and its been working well for a while. My fingerprint sensor stopped working after about 3 months of use. it first started taking long to recognize my print and now it just doesnt read. i cant even install a new fingerprint profile coz the sensor just wont read. I hope someone can help me fix this, but remember im still fairly new to the droid world so please run me thru step by step on how to resolve this. Im using Gingerbread v2.3.6.
One other thing, the phone hangs sometimes and restarts itself, anyone know a solution to this too?
Backup your personal data, apps, etc. and make a factory reset from recovery. Solves such problems mostly.

Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
I would recommend titanium backup for apps, sms backup+ for sms & call log. You can use your google account for contact list backup & recovery.
You can get to the recovery menu by holding power & volume down buttons together during phone's startup.

It's pretty easy, you should search & read a little in the forums There is also a wiki page for Atrix.

Mine did the same thing. Had to get a replacement from eBay, cost a bit under 20$. Atrix is really easy to dismantle, iFixit have a detailed guide.

I managed to get another app to back up. I did the factory reset in settings but the fingerprint sensor still isn't reading. Or was i supposed to reset it when starting up the phone? Coz when i start up my phone & hold the power & vol down button it says fast boot & when i press the vol up button it says starting fast boot & gets stuck @ that. Suggestions?

Hold power & volume down buttons together until you see that phrase. Press volume down button again till you see the recovery, then press volume up to enter into recovery. That's it.

If you have an International Atrix , you can try flashing Full Firmware Froyo in RSD, and then flashing Gingerbread 2.3.6
It will fix everything. But if you are using an ATT Atrix, you will hardbrick.
The one thing you can do now is a Factory reset.
Greetings,
Try a few other GB ROMs, if the problem persists you may have a faulty finger print reader!!
