Hi everyone,
The Labyrinth game is not right at all - the ball moves upwards when the phone is tilted. Very annoying - makes the game very difficult, if at all playable! Or do we have an anti-gravity device?
Any verifications? Any solutions?
Thanks in advance
I am on O2 and have upgraded to the official Android 2.1
EDIT: This only occurs with the paid-for version of the game, not the lite version.
have you tried the calibrator app ?
what happens with that one?
you may need to *#*#307#*#* in phone to enable the emlist to be able to see the calibrator
Thanks Fards for your reply.
I have enabled emlist on the phone and through calibrator saw that the phone was fine - I think there is an issue with the applications involved somehow...
As google street view works very well on compass mode - with right way up etc.
Also tried Asphalt 5 free and that is working (left and right tilt).
Another app - Bubble, also works fine...
Like I said most likely it is somehow with the coding of the games mentioned in the original post...
Thanks and good night
I installed labyrinth light on my streak and there is no problem with the accelerometer, everything work fine.
My streak is the US version with MCR2 installed (android 2.1).

Hi Dalamario and thanks for your input.
Glad to hear yours is working fine
I hope it's not a stupid question but what is MCR2?
Searching for it gave me links for ROM update - didn't know we were able to update ROMs for our devices yet though...
I will try some other games and get back soon.
I still am glad I chose Streak over Iphone 4 though

MCR is Modaco Custom Rom, it's the O2 2.1 rom customized. It's a work in progress so it's still not available to everyone http://android.modaco.com/content/d...r-the-dell-streak-android-2-1-online-kitchen/
When I flashed my device I had trouble with the compass that was not reacting to my movement giving me a static "google sky", but the accelorometer was working fine. Then I recalibrated the compass (making a 8 shape when it's active) and it come back to work normally.
Perhaps your problem is not with the accelerometer but with the compass. Try an app that require the compass, like "gps status" and if it doesn't work, make an 8 shape with the hand (like the infinite symbol) see this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sP3d00Hr14o
Thanks again Dalamario for your help.
I followed what you said and realised that the lite version of the game is fine, but the paid-for one has the "bug" somehow.
Thanks again and best wishes
Since my official O2 2.1 update, there are some apps that no longer work correctly - the accelerometer seems reversed. Chalky, Grand Prix Live, Hour Face and I'm sure a couple more that I can't think of right now.

I have the same problem with Exzeus. It seems like games in landscape are fine like sky siege, skies of glory, hawx. But games in portrait have the left / right swapped. I tried the calibration through EMLIST and it did not help.
HyperJump is the same on my o2 Streak Left is Right and Right is Left =S
Also, game called Drop has the same problem

Not too sure what i did but all my videos playback choppy and in black and white.
I dl vitalplayer app from the market and chose software decoding over hardware and i get color in that player but not in the others now.
Thought to uninstall reinstall youtube but for some reason no option to uninstall yt???
Is there a universal setting on the phone needs tweaking?

I'm getting the same thing at random... Youtube and RockPlayer lite. Not sure what's going on, I thought it may be that I have build file changed to HTC Vision for Netflix. Problem seemed to occur roughly the same time.
I will change it back some time today and see if that's it.
Probly u have installed chain3d grapgic drivers, uninstall it and everything should be find
Not real sure what those drivers are, but unless they came preinstalled with some app, I did not install them. This issue occurs most of the time, but sometimes (rarely) a video will be color.
Yea i dont have those drivers either.
It happened after i installed lbe monitor from this site.i think in blocking some apps permissions it might have broken something.
Running streakdroid 1.9
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
An uninstall of LBE and a reboot fixed all color problems.
Yup i had to uninstall lbe and run 'fix permissions'from streakmod recovery.
It was actually really degrading.FC s and reboots all over the place

Noo
Sorry but I have not managed to install this on my streak, after trying to install it just restarts and makes youtube and the camera app go black and white, to fix this just do a restart (I was stuck with this for a few days until i reckoned I would try restarting)
Hope this helps

I'm starting to think of this phone like a computer with a lousy OS installation. I reboot after every app installation.
I don't currently have this driver installed as I just wiped the phone and am still putting it back together so to speak, but when I did, I just left the defaults and I noticed that my game seemed a little (just a little) visually sharper and maybe a little smoother.

not here it doesnt !
I've managed to get it to work, got some of the nvidia tegra 2 games working, got the solitaire one, the pinball, and samurai 2 vengeance one working. Would say though the hd version of samurai is exactly the same as the normal version no better graphics at all just bigger buttons on the screen.
Anyone manage to get that bang bang racing to work? after install it just says phone doesn't meet minimum requirements for game.
What settings did you use on the games

Is there any solution to settle the black and white camera and Movies app?
I used Simple Streak 1.2 and StreakDroid 1.9.1 and both of them still get that trouble.
I've tried many ways you guys comment but not working.
I love Chainfire3D!
what black and white issue are you talking about? I'm running stock 351 and i get no black and white anywhere. The settings I used for the game was, I just enabled the Nvidia plugin and it worked for me.

I got it when i lauch the camera apps, it just display only black and white screen, it seem like greyscale mod and the Movie app is too. When I uninstall the CF3D, it's OK. But I still want use CF3D cause some games in my streak need it.
I'm running StreakDroid 1.9.1 and Simple Streak 1.2 before.
What should i do?
Thks for attention!
IVe got the same issue too. Black and white on movies even in game movies don't look right. Camera display is also black and white evn on vignette. Strangely the photos taken are in color....
Running SD 191.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
The only way I found to fix this issue that I have to uninstall CF3D driver and then remove it before make a reboot.
So can't play some favorite games
I also have this bug with black&white photo/video in apps after installing CF3D driver.
Havent figured that out either I wanted to use chainfire to play games but the other issues aren't worth it....maybe one of the debs can figure it out and incorporate it into a rom with the right settings

I flashed it and it works but clockworkmod does not work .. get andn error and failed boot.. Stuck on what to do to fix it.
Anyone benchmark it at all? Like browser tests especially because that is where WebOS was infuriating.
Sunspider and Browsermark primarily. Also would be amazingly interested in seeing page load tests of a WebOS Touchpad next to a CM7 touchpad, if anyone has two of these things.

Same problem here for me. I Believe the missing apps is a known bug.
Posting this from my cm7 touchpad!
I ran quadrant and there's something wrong with either quadrant or the touchpad because when going through the hallway it only got about 6fps

For what it's worth, touchstone won't charge
it puts it in dock mode, it trips the charger icon so you think it's charging, but it won't actually charge
kinda stinks, that's a major major bug to me
but I guess that's why it's called an Alpha build

Loving it. Hadn't touched my TP for months and had no hesitation to flash the alpha. I'd say for an alpha it is way ahead of most alphas. I'd almost call it a beta, but I guess some of the bugs, (like the wifi losing connection once in a while) are too big to be beta.

I read you can just grab maps and google apps that wont show up in the market from your phone and move them over. Just grab the .apks off the internet if you want. I just transferred over my TI Backup file and am reinstalling all the apps I want now, g maps is working for me.
I installed last night and so far it's great. The performance is great, no lags, all the apps I need\want have installed without any problems. The only issue I've had so is the battery drain makes it unresponsive so I had to power + home until it rebooted.
I got it loaded but the moboot option and recovery options did not work...so I could not boot back into webos. So I just flashed it back to Webos with the doctor. I think I will give it a little more time for the bugs to get hammered out.
Absolutely LOVE it. Super slick and fantastic for an Alpha build. 90% of the things i want for the tablet install and work without a hitch.
One nice surprise, my WebOS portion of my Touchpad was NOT wiped out in the installation. I booted into WebOS earlier, and to my surprise, everything was intact and exactly how it was left pre-CM7 install. I've been playing with it all day, and i must say, battery life has been great thus far. Tablet is showing almost 7hrs of use (display ON for about 5hrs) and still has 40% battery left!
love it. But it wiped everyhig on my webos. So now I have to figure out how to put my pictures and videos back
Overall I haven't had any problems. Can't wait for future updates
No issues except for wifi issues.
I'm running CM7, and I think it runs really well for an alpha release. I've had minimal problems and most problems are easily corrected and there are some workarounds appearing already.
Flashed CM7 yesterday. Seems more like a Beta than a Alpha build. I tried most of my apps and they work without issue. CM7 runs very well with minor hiccups.Some things I did after seeing others have issues
1-Wifi sleep policy set to never
2-Use Setcpu to OC to 1.5 and undervolt at 384 and I have no issues with the device waking up
3-Use the app "Myappsharer" to send the APKs from my Thunderbolt to the tablet and they install with no issues
4-Before I flashed CM7 I made a copy of everything on the TouchPad to my laptop in case it got wiped out.
This was my first time trying WebOs the past few weeks and I kind of liked it. I do not think I will be going back to it though. I definitely prefer the customization of Android.
I am really liking CM7. I installed it this evening and it seems to be chugging along. I was able to install Order & Chaos on it, but I had to change the build.prop in order to get it to run. It played better than I would have thought, for an Alpha version of the OS. I am going to try and overclock it to see if that smooths out the game.
This post in the dev forums includes a fix for the Market so all the apps show up - it's working great for me (I was really missing Dolphin and Tweetdeck). Just flash it via CWM

Didnt OC mine, but i UVed it to 384 to see if that prevents the device wakeup problem. So far so good i believe
I love it, my only thing is dead screen on wake up. It wakes up fine but it's unresponsive. I have to click the power button three times to get it to work.
384 & 14xx
everything works for me, wifi included.

Facebook requires a GPS. Install FAKE GPS and set a location. This will solve the problem with Facebook FC's.
Anyone else having this issue or know if there are settings I could tweak to stop this?

i had the same issues on Eclipse 1.3. i reverted back to stock rooted 2.3.4. i haven't flashed a new custom rom because of this reason. i'll follow this thread to see if there are any solutions.
I couldn't get YouTube to play yesterday on 3G. I haven't tried wifi yet to see if it's just my 3G signal or what.
Sent from my MB870 using xda premium
I just watched a video I posted on YouTube over 3g and it worked just fine. Mind you, I didn't watch it in HQ mode since it was over 3g, but no jumping, skipping, etc. Worked just fine.
As for games, sometimes they pause, but not always. Overall, I'm getting better performance out of CM7 than I have out of any other ROM, stock or custom.
GTA 3 plays beutifully just like on Eclipse 2.0.1
One thing I have noticed when I ran Smartbench 2011 is that my Productivity and Gaming indexes dropped going from CM7 Alpha to CM7 Beta.
On Alpha (with the extra core constantly on), this is what I had:
Productivity: 3395
Gaming: 2581
After going to CM7 Beta, this is what I have:
Productivity: 1776 avg.
Gaming: 2383 avg.
I then launched system tuner pro and noticed that only 1 cpu was on. But, it appears as if the 2nd core never comes on, at least from what I can tell. If I tell System Tuner Pro to enable both cores and run my benchmarks, I notice that I get back the scores I had before.
Now, I have noticed a slight drop-off in games at times. My question is, is there a way I can monitor if the 2nd core ever comes on when it's needed? Is there an app I can run to monitor this and then I can see if/when the 2nd core came on and at what frequency it ran? Heck, are the any logs I can look at?
Just curious.
Also, one thing I have noticed. If I mess with the Memory Auto-kill settings (such as with V6 Scripts), I notice games get a lot laggier, especially Fruit Ninja. If I leave them at the default settings CM7 comes with, the games perform a lot better.
Thanks!
I didn't have any of these issues on eclipse (any version) so this is new to me.. YouTube works but it constantly pauses or restarts..Iv only tried over 3g so I'll try wifi today. On some other sites my browser wont recognize flash player or the video will be scrambled in black and pink streaks...the strangest thing.
Could the theme I'm using have anything to do with it? Its the epic blue and bold..

I just went to YouTube via the stock browser and the video played just fine over 3g. I also went to FoxNews to try and stream a video there and it worked just fine under CM7 Beta.
You DO have Flash installed, right? Just making sure! I know on my phone I have both Adobe Flash and Adobe AIR installed.
I had AIR installed and had to install flash player on this rom just to get any bids to show up in the browser...never had to on any other rom or stock. I might just reflash the rom and go from there...otherwise its back to eclipse til the next cm7 update

That's because the CM7 doesn't come with everything installed. It's a bare-bones ROM where as the other ROMS, including stock, include the Adobe stuff in it.
Like I said, I have it all installed and YouTube and other flash-sites show up just fine in my browser without any issues. The sound is fine, the video is fine, no choppiness in them at all and that was over 3g.
Ok thanks. So at least I know that its not the rom. Ill have to try something. Clearing the data on apps fixed most of the force closing issues but nothing has fixed the video issues yet. Unless its the theme or another app in the background interferring.. scratching my head on this one

If anyone else has the YouTube issue just go to the market and uninstall the YouTube updates...YouTube stays installed and then works without the constant pausing and restarting. Games are still pausing but enter want to delete my data to try to fix that
