So major problems with this phone is ... - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The internal microsd going bad and needing replacement (easy enough fix)
and the lcd crapping out.
Anything else i should be aware of? other than the lack of support from dell.
1) 407 stock rom stable?
2) whats the major advantage of going the DSC rom? i read a lot about the proximity sensor not working after a call. This would peave me off royal.
3) can it do wifi tethering on the DSC or stock rom?
4) no cm7 avaiable huh?
thanks!

1) Never ran stock 407 long enough to check stability.
2) DSC is the most stable of all the gingerbread roms and has the most active ongoing development. It has been rock solid stable for me the past several months. However, there are a couple ongoing issues. One is the proximity sensor thing and its actually not a big deal and I believe its close to being fixed. The workaround for it is to go into Accessibility settings and set the power button to end a call...problem solved. The other one, which doesn't plague everybody (but does me), is a wifi issue. If I set up my wifi to stay on even when the screen goes off, I will randomly lose connection. The biggest problem with this is the phone thinks it is still connected, so I miss notifications, etc. The workaround for this is to run Wifi Fixer (Some seem to like Wifi Reassociate better). With Wifi Fixer running, my wifi issue is gone.
3) Yes, wifi tethering works on DSC.
4) No, there is no CM7 for this phone.

thanks for the response, as soon as i get (the second one) my streak ill install the DSC. Im always on 3g anyways (6gb of data) so i dont think the wifi is going to be too big of an issue. But thanks for the pointers on how to fix it.

oh also, since the internal microusb is removable, is it possible to upgrade it to a 16gb or 32gb model? will the firmware still recognize the chip?

If you upgrade the internat card to 4gb the phone will format it for you, it is really quick and easy. If you go with a card larger than that you will need to do a lot more work to the card, formatting it and such. Also I think you may have to mount the partition you want to use. I hope someone else chimes in about the larger cards as I have not used one.
There is a thread about this.

You can go as high as an 8 gig is what I have seen. Going 16 does need some partitioning though

cool, thanks for the insight guys.

i replace the 2gb internal card with 8gb microsd class 10 from Kingstone and works very good (internal slot for internal memory suport up to 32gb class 10 and the same for the extended memory slot, so 32+32=64gb )

Let tell u somthing about the screen...one time i forgot my caseless Streak on my lap n went off the taxi som my Streak fell on the road on its screen...not a scratch on the screen..but lots on the cover around it........another time i dropped it frm about a meter and a half and al i got was a reboot n a loss of vibration for a while ...XD Its a damn tough device XD

well the gorilla, monkey, ape, primate glass does help with the scratches but from what ive read, it's the touch screen underneath the glass that goes bad. Or the crappy connectors that either come loose or lose their connectivity. The first streak i got came with a bad touch screen already. now im waiting for the second one but i have doubts about the quality of the touch screen.

I had a streak for a couple weeks until I broke it... Dropped on cement floor landed on its corner cracking the LCD but leaving the glass intact. The size makes this thing's too easy to drop cause its awkward to hold with one hand
o Dsc: I got the streak for use a gaming machine, and quickly discovered stock doesn't support most hd games, and the rest are so slow they are unplayable. Dsc has by far the best 3D performance and is very stable as long as you don't overload it with hundreds of apps. And the build is easily customizable through the config tool. Only problems I noticed with dsc was no GPS, and no WiFi tether. Tried installing the tethering app from market never got it working. I was running 0.7b

There's absolutely no problem with either GPS OR TETHERING on any of the ROMs for the Streak. If you had troubles you probably had a flash go wrong or a hardware issue

Origins of O2 2.1 update??

I dont know if this is of any relevance to anyone but I just thought I'd post something I've noticed on the 2.1 update from O2.
Facebook now tells me i can download a version for my DESIRE, rather than my Streak (which it did on 1.6)
Have O2 modified a Desire ROM to get 2.1 out there? Might explain the volume and accelerometer issues? Or then again i could be completely wrong!
Right now i just hope bluetooth call quality is fixed......

i noticed it too, might explain why i'm having internet issues with my phone.
Hmm.what internet issues are you having?
Mine seems OK, although I prefer the old browser for functionality. Also not impressed with the email client - can't handle wifi connection for sending mail whereas the old one worked fine (or swapped to mobile automatically? either way it worked with wifi on)
on the plus side - bluetooth phone calls through my car's head unit seem fixed now, compared to the stuttery rubbish I had on 1.6. Volume is lower though (or was that the problem in the first place? )
I'd be really happy with this 2.1 BUT for the volume control issue and the "reversed" accelerometer (oh and the new home screens are pants compared to the old ones). It's certainly more stable than 1.6, mind.
The streak REALLY does need a good 2.2 build though - Flash capability is essential for a device like this: O2 and Dell pay attention cos this device is only a shade off being the most awesome thing out there!! (IMO of course!)
If Dell wouldn't violate GPL and released sources for Streak kernel, I'm more than sure that we would have a working CyanogenMod-6 for Streak by now.

hey, the internet issues i'm talking about is that prior to updating to the official 2.1 02 update everything was groovy, now when i try to connect to the internet from my provider it sends me to wipcore.t-mobile.com to sign up for a data plan. i have the android plan which worked flawlessly before. really is a big let down.
that seems a bit weird - even on wifi? I'm on an O2 £35 a month package with the data bolt on. Didn't have to do anything after the update apart from reset the email provider details.
The only data issue i've had so far is being unable to send emails whilst connected to wifi (will another email client fix this?)

[Q] [Solved] Streaming Audio cuts out

Hello Folks,
I just replaced my old Droid Eris (that I took swimming) with a Samsung Fascinate that I bought from a guy on Craigslist.
The phone is in pretty great shape, and it is wonderfully faster than my old Eris was (especially after it went swimming).
The stock rom was disgustingly hogged by VZW and M$, as I'm sure you all know. I am currently running PowerWashedGB on it, and it is fabulous.
I am having a problem however with audio dropping out during streaming, and am trying to decipher whether it is software or hardware related.
Does anyone else have problems with audio dropping when streaming? Works great when read off a disk. I went back to the VZW stock rom to see if it had to do with PWGB, but the problem persisted.
Does anyone know a way I can pick this problem apart, and if there is a different radio/modem I could try flashing? Everything else on the phone works great, even data for the most part, just not stable enough to hold a steady stream (drops every 30 seconds or so for about 5-10 seconds).
Thanks guys.

Do a *228 options 1 and 2 and let the phone reset. If the problem persists: does it happen with only one streaming app or with all of them. If it's all of them try streaming with the charger plugged in to check if it's a voltage issue with the screen off. Lastly, does it happen with the screen off or on or both ?

Thank you for your quick reply. Setting the phone to reprogram seems to have fixed the issue, I've been streaming about a half hour now with no problems, which is far more than was working previously.

[Q] Proper GPS hardware diagnostic

Here's the story:
Had a vibrant, put Axura (Axura 205 Vibrant) on it. Worked great for many many months, until I broke the screen. I tried to replace it but that's another story.
Fast forward to now, I have a new Vibrant, with the same ROM on it, (flashed from stock).
I have tried 6 or 7 different ROMS of various release (Froyo/GB), but the GPS never shows satellites. I have done the access LBSTest fix as suggested elsewhere in the forums, but still not seeing satellites.
On my old phone this specific ROM (Axura) worked great. Same ROM, another phone, doesn't work.
It feels like the gps hardware is bad (I bought the phone used) but my business partner's phone does the exact same thing.
ANY diagnostic steps or outline would be great! I don't know how to determine if the GPS hardware is functioning properly or not. A link, list or other from someone who has dealt with this before would be a wonderful help.
THANKS!
(The only odd thing I have noticed is the stock rom won't connect to any cellular networks. Putting Axura (or any ROM) corrects that issue.)
EDIT: I should note that enabling "Use wireless networks" allows some data to be used, but I assume this is based off of hardware mac addresses of the wireless routers and google's location database rather than actual satellite data
I should also note the manufacture date is 10.10 and the current modem is JK2.
I have been researching various fixes (in spite of the anomaly stated above) and it seems the hardware soldering fix only relates to pre 10.10 and suggests a modem higher than JI6.
I am tempted to try some other ROMs but have exhausted my attempts and feel maybe this isn't something I can fix anymore. Help still appreciated.
sounds like you'll need to open it and do the HW mod for the GPS antenna contacts to be firm together, I used a piece of shaped plastic to keep the tab in an elevated position so it wouldn't lose tension after its snapped back. then DL heathens GB GPS fix , it works awesome for me, best GPS lock ever
Oh an one more thing, Aurora isn't the best choice of ROM, unless that's what you like. JMHO
Thanks. I'll do both, I am kind of apprehensive about soldering the gps, I have broken things before, although I am ok with a solder gun.
Any suggestions on ROMS? I am open for them, have tried a few (Cm7, SIMPLE, Revolution, + others) but since I couldn't get the gps to work I assumed it was rom related.
You might also try a new modem with a Froyo ROM. Any of the KAx or KBx modems with a Froyo ROM should be an improvement.

Something I've noticed with the hardware fix is the author of the post here states that the manufacture date is 9.10 or before, and mine (10.10) shouldn't need it. Is this true?

Running KB5 now. Which app do you recommend for seeing what/how many satellites have a lock? The one I am using now (Gps Status) just has a spinning icon on the bottom, with no info.
I am at a loss as to why this phone won't lock. I'm willing to paypal anyone who has the time and gumption to assist with a true repair.
Edit: Just went outside with the GPS Test app (disabled use WiFi for location) and it could "see" 1 satellite, but was using 0. Does this help in giving an idea as to why it won't work?
Maybe the antenna issue can still exist post the 9.10 manufacturer date.
:S

[Q] Seriously this GPS is now pissing me off..

Okay, I have done the following things:
1. I have soldered the connection inside the phone. (Yes very nicely I might add as I solder a lot at work.)
2. I have the Sub-Zero build 75 kernel.
3. I am using Slim ICS Rom from the android development forum.
Why in the hell does the GPS lock on instantly sometimes, and other times I have to restart the phone 20 times before it will even thinking about locking on again?
What is wrong with this phone's GPS? What else can I do to get this GPS to work all the time. The programs that "clear the GPS data" or the phone code that does it, does not work. There is no message and no sign that it cleared anything. The "secret code" program just crashes of course, when I try to use the GPS clear data.
Is there anything else I can do, besides throwing this phone against the wall. I actually NEED the GPS sometimes because I travel a lot, and I can't even rely on this phone.
Here is how I understand this:
Since we never got an official release for gingerbread we won't be getting one for ICS either. The problem is that all releases for our phone for GB+ are hacked together from the source released for the other phones in the Galaxy S family. Also, since the actual guts are slightly different between models, we don't have the actual Samsung drivers for these releases on our phone.
Another problem is that the GPS chip they used on this phone sucked and was sub par at best when released. Most vibrant owners had issues.
The only way to guarantee the best GPS performance on this phone is to stick with the stock Froyo firmware. Everything else is hit or miss since we got the step child phone off the Galaxy S family.
I was lucky enough to buy my vibrant several months after release, so my GPS was revised by then and better than the release models, but it still flakes out on custom ROMs sometimes.
For now, I am on Slim 3.5, and sub zero 80 kernel.
-------------
GlobeSpy detailed this in his post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1550327
-------------
I flashed the yags and experia GPS fixes, made sure to install angryGPS and faster fix.
Angry GPS settings changed to MSBASED, cold start, and Xtra=off.
In supl settings, I selected Google server.
In Fasterfix: selected custom and set to us.pool.ntp.org
After rebooting the phone, open GPS test and let it lock birds.
After that, I can exit out of GPS test and run navigation. GPS will lock later in day too.
The same settings worked on the stock slim kernel to, so sub zero isn't a requirement, but I have made it work on both kernels. In my expewrience the stock Slim kernel worked better for GPS.
Hopefully this helps, but each phone is so different, the results are not guaranteed.
It really is too bad that Samsung dropped the ball on the GPS in this phone. It's the only weak bit of the device.

[SOLVED] If my phone were your wife/mom's. (somewhat better, now GPS broken)

UPDATE: Thank you guys so much for the help! My phone is running well so far! The GPS works well enough for navigation, and I should hopefully be able to limp through until my full upgrade. I can't tell you guys how thankful I am that you all took the time to help me answer my questions and get my phone going again!
what would you do? I have a Vibrant, and have done quite a lot of troubleshooting with it. Tmo's tech support said it's a hardware issue and that they've done all they can.
I've tried just about all the Froyo ROMs on it, and things seem to work well for a while, then it gets odd. I regularly clear my call logs, messages, and browser cache. I use wifi whenever I'm at home, and whenever I'm in the minivan I have my phone plugged in.
I am currently running Axura - Moped/FishmanMod v1. This has seemed to work the longest.
Lately, though, I've been missing phone calls...as in, no notification, no log, nada. I rebooted last week and suddenly had a voicemail icon...I had 7 new voicemails. One from my son's teacher. I never knew she even called. I've since reinstalled Tmo Visual Voicemail and at least now I think I'm getting my voicemails. Missing phone calls can't happen though. We don't have a landline, and we have a child with health issues. I have to be available.
Other issues:
*My battery died about halfway through the day yesterday, even though it had charged fully overnight.
*This thing is slowing down. As in, taking a photo with my phone isn't really viable. By the time it finally snaps the picture, my kiddo has grown an inch.
*Lag! I'm using Swiftkey X and it often hangs on a key for several seconds before finally typing it. It's very slow to open apps, etc as well.
Does anyone have any more advice for me? I'd love to run an ICS or JB ROM, but having the ability to call 911 is not negotiable for me. Woodrube and some others have given me some great advice, which has helped, but I'm still having some issues.
I could pare down the apps and use it just as a phone, but what would be the point of having an Android...and data? I need the calendar, email, task list, etc. to keep track of everyone.
I'd love to try to figure out how to make this phone last longer. I could upgrade now, but our checkbook doesn't like the idea.
Personally I'd Odin back to stock JFD and either do a reflash or pick a new ROM (bionix comes to mind).
Could do a fresh install of the apps you want on your phone. Your battery could be going bad and may need to be replaced, and if your sim card is getting old, you may need to stop by T-Mobile and have them replace it.
Not sure if that could be the trouble with your notifications or voicemail, but they are all quick things to try that should be cheap and quite possibly very effective.

Well, although it isn't too helpful to say...I honestly believe that if you simply must be available because you have a child with health issues, you definitely should not be tinkering with your device. True, my phone runs better, faster, stronger, and longer (ha daft punk) than it did running stock, but I have certainly had the occasional issue such as data issues, force closes, battery drains, SODs, etc, etc...it's simply a fundamental part of the life of modifying your phone. It's not to say that you won't have issues if you kept it stock, but you really shouldn't be messing with your phone if you don't have a land line and you NEED to be available for something so important.
Now, onward!
I will look into similar occurrences of your problems and report back..(sorry in class atm, then off to a meeting). Until then, Gl!
you could try and use a cyanogenmod based Rom. They are one of the best roms out there except you can't as of right now call 911 (some phones can and some cant ) also gps is semi-broken.

Thanks for the advice, but not an option. I have to have 911 capability, and we're pretty active geocachers, so my GPS gets used a ton. I've been so tempted by CM Roms, and my husband is rocking one on his One S, but going without 911 isn't an option.
After this last round of my phone's slowness, we did ODIN back to stock, then did the ((*^&^%$*&^) updating it to Froyo. (Yay!) We were hoping that taking it back to stock would help our issues, but it actually seemed slower. (And oh, the agony of using TouchWiz!) I very, very carefully added back ONLY the apps I used on a daily basis, watching carefully to see if there were any issues. It was crazy slow.
We then went to this last ROM and I added back apps even more slowly. I noticed that I had issues after I put the Zedge app back on, so it's gone. I also noticed that it acted funky after I put Google Goggles on, so it's gone as well.
I am not, by the way, storing any music on my device. I stream it through Google Music.
I do have another battery for it. I'll put Battery Calibration on and swap batteries to see if that helps. Good idea.
Also, my SIM is pretty old. I hadn't thought about seeing if I could get a new one! I know it solved some issue LONG ago with my BlackBerry. I'll see if I can do that at our TMo store today. Appreciate that suggestion.
I've been just about the give up on this phone altogether and just going with the One S like The Hubs, but forking over the money for it (not to mention that it would be $200 for me and $49.99 for a new contract!) is just not in the budget now. Might be getting close to something we just can't avoid though.
Try flashing back to stock 2.1 with repartition checked. Then flash one of Fishman/Moped 2.2 ROMS ( he has odin files if you prefer that method). I think you may still have some "ghosts" left behind from the last ROM or two you had on your phone. A fresh odin to stock with repartition checked should get rid of any "ghosts". Also when restoring apps make sure you restore app only, not app+data. Remember, after installing a ROM allow your phone to sit for a good 10 minutes then reboot before you use the phone.

That could definitely be it. I used to just restore all my apps+data with My Backup Root. I'll see if I can convince The Hubs to help me work on the phone this weekend. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks!
Okay, we did the repartition flash, then put it on FishmanMod Blue 2.2 Frankenstein Slim. Seems to be running a little better, but now my GPS won't lock at all. I've rebooted, tried Samsung GPS Restore (never locks) and GPS Test. Test sees 4-5 satellites but doesn't ever lock on. I've tried Nav as well and it is not able to lock on.
I've checked our forums and I see a lot of fixes, but no recent fixes and most of them are for 2.1. I've tried dialing the *#*# numbers, but they don't do anything.
I sure could use some suggestions. I'd like to be able to use my GPS. I know it's generally an issue with Vibrants, but mine has never failed to lock on before. Might be slow, might take it until the end of the block, but it always locks. Until now...
Thanks in advance!
Go to the Dev section and look for a thread called GPS Fixes by Solisfiend. It'll be buried way back and I'm mobile so I can't link it. It has directions and app to fix Froyo GPS.
I have 2 posts in there, 1 is clarification of some things and the other is a download app you can use. Should work well for you.
Thank you, Woodrube. I'll do just that.
ETA: Found the link.
