I got a weird question - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok its really not a huge problem but for some reason the keyboard clicks stopped working on my streak and, so I did a factory reset and that didn't work and then I reinstalled the stock rom 351 and it worked for a whole 30 secs. As soon as I logged back in with my Google account it killed the keyboard sounds. Also this is for all keyboard sounds I even d/l a whole other keyboard app. What would make my Google account kill the sounds on my phone. The screen clicks when on a website don't work either its almost like its muted somehow. Any suggestions????

Check your system volume. You'll need an app for that.

Thank you so much I would have never thought of that. Worked!!!

I bet you have Google backing up your settings, etc.? That's why it worked at first and then when Google synced the last volume setting that was synced was restored.
Glad you got it fixed.

super clean D101 fc errors fix

ok, after a few trys at different things i now can say that by disabling the autosync feature, the Fc errors will stop, just go to settings, accounts and sync, then just check off autosync.
I haven't had a single fc since the update. Lucky I guess..

Very lucky. I had to return the phone and get another new one. It forced the update. signal sucks.

May I ask the point of returning the phone?

mmmmm i went back to my previous backup, i like the syncing feature, woithout it i dont get up to the minute emails, twitts etc. i will better wait for a more stable rom
Having these FC's as well, as a result of syncing in this ROM, just flashed it yesterday. Tried deleting all user data, doing the permissions fix, and clearing all caches, using Clockwork, didn't help. Also setting up any account to sync like facebook/twitter/myspace, fails during the "Loading..." section after you specify your account info, with the same force close. Any way to fix this? I like this ROM a lot other than this, it's the only problem I really have with it.
that is the pro blem, is a nice rom but the onli way to fix it is to turn the autosync off, and if you can live without accounts syncing, go ahead that will fix it

Try the new one he just posted, should fix the random and sync related FC's, the fix, fixed them on my phone so we should be good now.

[Q] Is the market having issues?

No matter what rom (with wipe of data, cache, and Dalvik), known-good Nandroid backup I restore, or anything else I can think of, I cannot get the Market to work. This is driving me bonkers! I've tried CM7, das Bamf 1.6 and 1.6.1, I've tried old Virus backups, and have even flashed Bolted, Lightning rom, and a couple others. I simply cannot get apps to download, and all environments give me 503s in my logs. So this sounds like it's down but I searched and expected to see posts all over about it. So I'm stumped.

Had the same issue, no replys tho. I ended up calling Verizon and after the tech guy "held my hand" thru his "testing", he just put me in for a replacement. I did notice that market seems to be working a bit now. It wasn't working after I uprooted bone stock, but today it seems to be kinda working.

So after sleeping, it's still broken for me. I did additional testing and either the market is very broken or my market account is screwed up. I tried on my 2 other devices (a Nook Color and a G1, both on wifi) and neither of them with either.
I did some heavy flashing of various roms yesterday, so could they have disabled my account, or something, thinking it was hacked?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Okay, so no matter what I do, I can't initiate a download from my phone. I can, however, initiate a download from the web version of the Market, and this works with at least my TBolt and Nook (didn't bother trying on my G1 - assumed it either worked or I didn't care).
However, this is incredibly aggravating not being able to use my phone to install software via the Market applications!
I've discovered the problem (kinda) and can offer a fix. The problem was that network settings (grouped with things like wifi passwords) get backed up and restored automatically by Google, and mine were somehow corrupted. The fix was to go into Settings -> Privacy and uncheck the backup/restore checkboxes. If you do this right, it will prompt you to confirm and will say that it will erase the settings on Google's servers.
After this, you may need to wipe one more time.

Best Dialer for Streak

Finally! Someone made a great dialer app where you can make the phone keys huge. No more fiddling around with dialer one to search for a contact when in the car!
Check out angeldialer... it is super fast and free.. and you can make the buttons huge

Been using this for a while after discovering that the stock dialer did not search contacts using the keys as letters - a la HTC.
Not the best looking dialer but very practical.
Ray Dialer is working well on my Streak. Big buttons, T9, contact photos, fast.
Ray dialer FTW
thanks!

Rocket Dialer is good.
Go contact is best

Is there a way to completely disable the stock dialer with any of these? I used one a few weeks ago, and when I hung up the phone call, it was on the stock dialer. If I am forced to still see the stock one, I'll just continue to use it... I hate being on the phone as a phone (hence, i buy one i can text on and use for email and internetting), so it's not a big enough problem to use the stock one.
I know you used to be able to make a different dialer the default, but after 2.1 I'm fairly sure you have to remove the stock one completely if you want to replace it. Don't know how to do that though, will have to look around.
I am interested in this too. I installed some custom dialers and some of them are very nice, but I don't like going back to stock dialer after finishing call...
I guess, you can remove stock dialer with Titanium backup (requires root), but I am not sure if you can do that. I guess, you should not remove it.
Don't uninstall phone.apk. I tried that. Had to restore my phone. It's not a funny, haha problem that you can just restore in titanium from a backup. It cripples your phone.

Are there any replacements for phone.apk? I am assuming this is the phone itself, which occasionally crashes on me. Fortunately while hanging up the call most of the time, but still...
i think phone.apk is built only for ur phone, it handles the antenna and such
I love that app. Thanks krad!

Not Call Log
I tried No Call Log and it didn't work.
It still goes back to the hideous default Streak dialer.

Free version only works for incoming calls. Did you run the app and check the settings? I have mine set to go to the home screen after both incoming and outgoing calls and it works. I have tried other options such as last activity.
Yes, that was it. I used the free version.
I found this:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.brosix.callend&feature=related_apps
Combining On Call End and Ray Dialer has made me happy.
donalgodon,
Thanks for sharing the free alternative. The return to the phone app after a call is an Android behavior that should be user selectable.
Thanks for the free app suggestion. It works great have mine setup to go back to home page.

[Q] Enable swype on Greyblur?

Hi Guys, I have recently purchased this device I am coming from Samsung Galaxy S. So a few things with modifying this device are new to me.
What I have done so far is rooted, and upgraded to the French sbl(?) I think that is what it was called. Upgraded to get 1080p video recording. So I am not totally useless, but I kept receiving an FC regarding Swype so using a tutorial (sorry forgot which one) unito get it to unstalled the keyboard.
Is there anyway to get it back and fully functioning on this ROM or will I have to revert to stock? I have the apk file but still unable to get it to work. Also tried Titanium backup to restore but still FC. Is this possible yet?
Thanks in advance
Did you try downloading the full swype from beta.swype.com?
I have tried registerring 3 times but have yet t receive email confirmation

Facebook push notifications have stoppped... again!

My Facebook push notifications have stopped coming through. Nothing I do seems to work.
First I cleared the application data – a fix I found on Google (this fixed it last time it happened about 4 months ago).
Then I uninstalled the app, rebooted the phone (stock unrooted Vodafone SGS2, reinstalled but still no joy.
Can anybody please help?
Yep mine stopped too so I have actually turned back on email notifications, now that is reliable ...
I will soon ditch FB anyway so ...
How long ago did it stop? Mine stopped sometime Tuesday night.
Have you tired clearing the application data.

Same problem here, im on XXLPB they have not been working for the last 3 days
Generally it can be solved as-go to your main phone settings, applications, manage applications, facebook, clear data/cache. then open the app and resign in.
Also, in main settings, accounts & sync, is facebook enabled? is background data and auto sync checked?
in all the years ive had android Ive never had them working. I tried the Blackberry workaround last week and I received one notification and then it stopped again.
Back to Friendcaster, buggy but at least notifications work
For some reason facebook messenger has stopped notifying for me too.
Im using friendcaster -- some issue, but overally far more responsive than official app
Funny thing...
You wanna read something funny about this issues??
I own a Samsung Wave, the first one, and the social hub premium on Bada -its OS- does support Facebook with messenger and push!!!
I'm tired of asking Samsung support why the same functionality is not implemented in the social hub for android!!
The Samsung Facebook application for Bada works flawlesly, push, messenger, uploads, everything. Yet, on this device, Samsung's Flagship, social hub sucks big time, it sucks so much that users are left having to install other apps for the same functionality that could be already integrated into Android by Samsung...
Sorry for the OT, just venting a rant because I share the same push problems you do....
