Hi All,
I have searched for a month tried everything I could find but it did not help.
I would appreciate any solution very much.
I have an unlocked streak with froyo. It was on 2.1 when I bought it and OTA it upgraded to 2.2. Everything was working fine including exchange sync.
After about 2 months use I needed to do a factory reset. Instead of simply doing a reset I downloaded the firmware from Dell site (same number and code). And flashed with update.pkg.
Baseband version; GAUSB1A131800-EU
Kernel Version; 2.6.32.9-perf
OEM Version; GAUSB1A131800
BUild Number; 12821
Since then my exchange sync is not working properly in calendar. I am always missing some items (seems to be random).
I did everything I could find but no luck.
I even got my IT guys to rebuild my account on the server but no luck.
I installed google calendar sync to my computer to sync with google cloud. This way I can see everything online but obviously this is not how it should be.
Any help and idea please.
So far I have done:
factory reset 10+ times
remove and add exchange account 20+ times
clear calendar data and add again 30+ times.
I have used about 10 different Windows Mobile phones/PDAs over the last 15 years and never had this.
Started to regret my switch from HD2 to streak.
please help.
thanks
Altug
Any views everyone?
Thanks

Hi all,
I've been flashing a lil' during the last day. Until then no problem BUT, from this morning, I can't reach the market any more. I've installed several 2.1 and even went back to MCR 3.2, but no way. The installation is ok, I've wiped all, even partitioned the SD (and performed a repair stuff). My account's syncing ok, but everytime I launch the market, I have a server error. 3G or WiFi, nothing.
Plesae help, I can't download anything...I'm lost.
I'm french and have and suscribed over Virgin.
Many many thanks in advance for your help guyz.
Same here. Flashed Chpoubs 4.2 Slide port yesterday, everything was working fine.
And since this morning I can open the market, see the 15 apps on the welcome page, but I can not search an app or check the updates (server connection error).
I tried restoring a Kimera 1.8 backup but to no avail I got the same connection error.
I am in France and my carrier is SFR. Hope my phone has not been "blacklisted" or something like that ?
Hey guys,
Do a factory reset from the settings menu and make sure you sync your Google account on first set up. I've had this issue before and this has resolved it.
I'm giving it a try, thx.
Anguished I am....

Nope, didn't work, still the same error message...
I wiped again, waited until google sync was over, opened the market, accepted the rules, and then got the error message... i'm stuck.
Same for me. Can't access the market.

Strange, isn't it ?
Hi Everyone,
I started this thread because I really couldn't find the solution to the problem I am having with my Dell Streak. First of all I have the Dell Streak T-Mobile 3G version, it was working fine until yesterday, all of a sudden the screen wouldn't turn on. I did a Factory Reset and it worked fine after that. But I am unable to install anything in my Streak, If I download it from the Market I get message, "Download Unsuccessful" and If I download it off of internet using my browser I get the message, "Application Not Installed"
I have tried the solutions provided by people like Clearing Market Cache and stuff but honestly that doesn't work at all.
I don't know what could possibly affect only the Download and Install Manager in my Dell Streak. I am running Android 2.1 the leaked version on my Streak.
Any Help will be Greatly Appreciated.
I literally cannot install anything :'(
HELP!!!!!!
Use the version that was made for the streak. Problem solved.
But I cannot find the official O2 update file, and if I try to root it and install the new firmware, it says that the firmware is up to date and my streak restarts, it's very strange, no one seems to have this problem.

Sorry for the OT, but... I thought the Dell Streak would not work with US T-Mobile 3G, only 2G unless you are AT&T. Are you outside the US or is there really a version that works with US T-Mobile 3G now?
FYI: Did you change your GMail? Download unsuccessful happens if the 'GoogleID' is tied to a different GMail then the one you are using. I know this from hacking Chinese tablets and having to install a GoogleID. If that is the case, GTalk should not work either, but all other google apps are fine. Google for how to create a new key and change it. WARNING: It requires setting up the emulator and is a long process. The other option is just to reflash it, and if that doesn't work, reflash the stock rom.
Hi,
I purchased my phone some 1 week back. And was very unhappy with the battery drain issue of XWKF3 2.3.3 stock ROM. I recently read about updating ROM via Odgin and that it doesn't void the warranty since there was no update for India, I downloaded and updated my phone with ease to the KG5 stock ROM. The tutorial i read asked me to factory reset my phone to remove the cache from previous install and restart the phone in recovery mode. Did all that and lost all data on my phone most of which was available after my upgrade. The software update was fine. I had taken a backup of my complete phone via KIES (some 4 GB) left it overnight to restore (since it was taking million years to do so). As brilliant as KIES is i was not able to recover any data tried 1-2 days with only specific things (contacts settings etc) din work. Since i was doin this all sorts of pop ups for application installation failure came and i also did not sync my google account via the mobile data. As i wanted to restore backup and do a minimum possible recovery. So today morning i connected my phone to my home wifi (my company's wifi is AD based and has exchange 2010 so even KF3 din work with it. banged my head tried numerous things none works). Anyways previously(KF3) it was working fine but now i'm only able to access Android Market my explorer does'nt work neither does my apps and syncing (Facebook, Twitter, Gmail). I am highly frustrated. I've checked the wifi settings a million time everything seems to be in order. But nothing works . What am i doin wrong ? is it the firmware (web says it's supposed to be "STABLE") ? any help will be highly appreciated.
Hey guys,
I have resolved the problem. Well there was actually no problem at all. I just switched off my phone took out the battery and my data config started working again. Also some how when i loaded the new firmware i cancelled google sync when it was running the first time. Thus when i went to the sync settings it was disabled so i enabled it and synced everything.
Cheers
Hey guys,
I hope someone will know the answer to my problems, I'll try to keep this short. (English is not my first language so excuse me for any mistakes I make).
Around 2 months ago I couldn't connect to my wifi, I tried everything, but eventually I thought the only solution was to factory reset my Samsung Galaxy S2.
That turned out to be a stupid decision. I made a back up of my media files, so those were safe. But the option to make a back up of your contacts using google didn't work, so I lost all my contacts, whatsapp messages and text messages.
Factory resetting my phone was the solution to the wifi problem though, so I was happy with that. And in the mean time I've gotten a lot of my contacts back, so that's not that kind of a big issue to me anymore.
But now I have a new problem. My phone can't update it's firmware anymore. I've tried using the update function from the phone, but it says it can't connect to the server. And using KIES, it says that the phone can't be updated as well. Now it's running on 2.3.5 and I'd really like to get the new OS available. (This is problem #1).
Problem #2 is the fact that in the last few days my battery has been incredibly weak. Normally I could last 1,5 days to 2 days with a fully charged battery, but now it seems to only last about 4-6 hours. The phone seemed to be a lot warmer as well.
I've tried to find a solution for problem #1, and all I could find is that maybe the factory reset changed the settings of which country your phone is from (I'm from the Netherlands), and that this is the reason why I can't update my phone.
In the thread I found they were talking about using #1234# and checking the codes there, but when I use this my phone displays (translated) ''connection problem or wrong MMI-code''. So I can't check if the data changed after the factory reset.
What should I do next?
Thanks in advance.
Hello there mate.
Im not a dev or something but from different cases that i've seen with many GS2 phones i think i can help you ( i hope at least ).
First of all i think you can easily update with odin to the new ICS firmware Samsung has for GS2.( If you use windows 7 run as administirator )
You can find many tutorials on youtube of how to do that.
Remember to back up all of your data before updating because they will be erased.
After installing fresh ICS firmware (official 4.0.3) you will need to do a factory reset.
Now for your second problem i think it might be an app problem which requires power from your CPU and that's why your phone is overheating and the battery is draining that fast.
I would suggest after using an app to kill it via the task manager so it won't run at the background demanding dedication from the system.
If that doesn't work also try re-installing all of your apps.
Hope you find this kinda useful friend and solve your problems.Take care
Thanks for the reply!
But before I upgrade with odin, don't I need to know the codes (representing where your phone is from etc.)?
I've found them under settings. They are:
Baseband: I9100XXKI4
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKJ3-CL647431 [email protected]#2
Build number:GINGERBREAD.XWKJ3.
And how do I backup all my files? Especially contacts, text messages and whatsapp messages?
No problem ! Im glad that you found my info somehow helpful!
Now as i said earlier im not that kind of expert so giving the current sittuation i don't really know. You should search on the internet for your firmware available for your country and also you can search at sammobile.com then go to firmwares then select the Smartphone option then Android and you should be good to choose the firmware and download it for your region/country. ( Terribly sorry for not giving a link but xda forums are saying that i need more than 10 posts to post a link.
So good luck with that one :good:
I never tried it myself but i've seen that people backup their contacts,texts and apps with KIES so you should give it a try :good:
Either than that,this is all i know and im really sorry if i can't help you any further as im new here too
Alright thanks for the help.
I made a backup of my contacts, whatsapp messages and text messages on my SD card. I'm almost gonna start using Odin. (You don't need a rooted device in order for Odin to work, right?). And I also only got a .tar file from the downloaded package from Sammobile.com, is that all I need?
I'll post the results
Yes Odin will work with unrooted and rooted devices!
I don't know if that's the file, i would do a little search before updating about the files and remember to watch a video on youtube to help you with the process !
Things to remember : If you are on windows vista/7 run Odin as administirator
After installing the firmware do a factory reset / clear cache
Good luck! I hope somebody more experienced than me will help you better than i did . :good:
Haha alright thanks for the help.
I used Odin this afternoon, with succes! I updated to 4.0.3 (only using the .tar file) and after that I factory reset my phone.
Also, I managed to succesfully retain my text/whatsappp messages + contacts, so everything's fine.
I'm going to try out my phone for a couple of days and I'll report if anythings wrong with it.
Really glad that things went in the right direction for you
Just a quick thought now, our Samsung Galaxy S2 will get a new update to 4.0.4 which is reported to be far better than the current one and will be available on the upcoming weeks so be prepared to do another update
But anyway you did a great job! :good:
Hi guys,
All of a sudden my dad's phone is behaving weird. I am not able to access the playstore and gmail. First of all the playstore was asking for a google account to be associated. And when I tapped on add it crashed. I went to the settings->Accounts and sync->add account and there was no google account option. I'm not an android user so I'm unsure if I remember this right but there should be google account option to be added. I tried to hard reset the phone but it does not seem to work. I mean it is not getting formatted fully as I still see the superuser. Btw I had rooted this device but I can't remember with which method. As I said earlier I'm not an android user so I'm not much into it. Dad came to me with this problem and I'm still trying to figure it out how do I get it sorted. Please if anyone can help me with this I would be grateful.
Device details:
Samsung Galaxy Pro GT-B7510
Android version: 2.2.2 froyo

It's likely that your Gapps are corrupted in some way, you'll need to find Gapps that work for your device and you should be all good.
