Does anyone know what com.dell.android.providers.settings actually does ?
Occasionally it chews up a huge chunk of CPU and Battery on my Streak - I'm wondering if I can freeze it without breaking anything ?
The Streak 7 one is used to store the dock config settings, the S5 one doesnt seem to do anything.
I've used the dock without it installed at all and I havnt really noticed a difference at all. Then again the dock only sorta works with the S5 to begin with.

Hello everyone,
just got my brand new shiny Streak. And man its something. Basically, everything I ever wanted from and now looking back at all the phones I had and other phones on the market I can`t keep wondering why in gods name would someone buy something else other than a 5" phone. 4-4.3" is good but 5" is just perfect.
So I made this upgrade from an Xperia X1 and never do I want to see WinMo in my life. But right now I have an ... android rush lol. Lots of info, apps, games. Its like an overload to try and understand everything and get use to everything. In a good way.
My first issue was with the car charger. Dell charges a lot as you already know. But I found an universal car charger for 7 pounds, that outputs 5V and 1A and i`m using the data cable to charge the phone in my car. No need for a holder just yet.
The pouch is good, but definately needs a proper case as its getting annoying sometimes to take it out all the time.
Got a few questions, regarding apps and games and such, if anyone here has more experience with android than me...
1. I`m planning to buy this (http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield...es-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php) . Will it affect the screen brightness in any way ?
2. Currently using GoNews as my newsreader but I`m looking for a good working one that also has to option to search a website for RSS feed. The one i`m using at the moment gives me the option to import from a file or input the whole adress manually.
3. Gaming wise, I dont mind paying for games. And the ones i`d pay for would be a good RPG and an RTS. Currently thinking about buying ZENONIA, but I can`t seem to find any RTS games out there (StarCraft, Age of Empires, Command and Conquer). Not those games, but they are examples of gameplay i`m looking for.
4. Also looking for a game that works on Streak similar to Worms world party. Could have tanks or other things, but should work lol. Tried something Armored Lite or whatevr the name was but the graphics war very buggy and made gaming pretty impossible.
5. Dialer. Can it be changed ?
6. Email client. BEfore getting the phone, i was reading reviews and stuff. People said the email client sucked. At first I thought it was ok but god I was wrong. Can`t do anything besides reading the email. Could anyone recommend a better email client ?
7. How do I make it stop turning the display on and off while on a phonecall ?
8. What benefits would I have if I root it ? Not an android expert and not sure if I should give it a try or not.
9. 3g or Wi-Fi videochat. Are there any apps that do this ?
10. Last but not least hehe Navigation. Basically I think its great and considering I spend A LOT of time in my car and using a TomTom, I was thinking of replacing my satnav with my Streak. BUT, is the navigation software dependent on internet connection and gps ? As far as I saw, if my internet connection drops the navigation looses the map or something. Is there any android navigation app that is GPS only. Giving the 16 GB memory, I don`t mind downloading maps and such.
Thanks
I may not be able to answer all your questions, but i will do my best
1) No, it shouldn't affect the brightness much (maybe slightly). I've never owned an invisible shield, but i've heard very good things about them. The 'feel' of the screen will change, however.
2) Not sure, sorry
3) There are not that many good android games out there at the moment (not that look good on the streak at least). I'm not a big gamer though, so i can't really answer this question well
4) as above
5) Of course! there are numerous 3rd party diallers out there. Or, you can pull the dialler application from your phone and change the images if you want (requires root)
6) There's a nice e-mail client in the market called K9. It works perfectly.
7) The display only turns itself off when the sensor is covered (when you hold the phone to your ear), i believe that otherwise the screen stays active. If it does not, you can always change the 'screen time-out' in settings to 'Never Timeout'.
8) Rooting allows you to modify the system files. This means, like mentioned above, you can pull applications from your phone and modify the images. This means you can create and apply themes. You can also overclock your phones processor (not been done yet on this phone i don't think). There are countless other things you can do. Here's a good list- http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Why_Root
9) There aren't many video call apps, but if you search 'Movicha' in the market place there is an app called 'Live Mobile Video Chat' which apparently does the job. (no idea if it works on the streak though)
10) Good question, never really thought about this before. I've found a good (and more importantly, free!) app though, called 'TrekBuddy'. You download the maps prior to your journey and then it allows offline navigation. Not sure how well it works, but it's the best i can do!
Hope this helps!
Thanks a lot. Still reading tons of android forums and websites.

Yes that is true and if you know where to look there is a not so legal one out there
I have the Invisible Shield and it works like a charm. No brightness effects at all. The only thing is that the shield for the back left and right is not cut very well, but the front ones and battery cover is great.

agreed. copilot is very good, it almost pains me to say that considering how god awful it preformed on my G1 but on the streak its fantastic. little extra power goes along way
While a thread on this topic does exist in the xda General section, I thought it would be nice to get a GTab-specific discussion on this particular new app. For all the photographers out there (well in this case, those who use Canon DSLR's), an absolutely incredible new app has gone to beta, called DSLR Controller. I won't bother repeating whats in the other thread, so you can see for yourself here
I have already purchased and installed it on my GTab, which is by the way running the Bonsai TW rom, and for the most part it works, with the exception of a few little bugs. Specifically, the touch-screen-to-focus only works the first time you try to do so after opening the program; after that it doesn't work and you need to use the manual toggles for focusing. I have yet to try it out on the stock 3.1 to see if perhaps the TW thing is the issue, though I anticipate doing some wipes and rom flashes in the coming days once an update.zip is available for the stock US version of the TW rom.
Anyways just hoping that other 10.1 owners who are interested in this incredible app might be able to chime in with their experiences. Overall this app has HUGE potential for us photographers
thanks for this, I am planning on getting a 7D soon so hopefully this works out
I own a 7D, 60D and a 5D MKII. This works on all of them.
I wanted to buy this but I am not sure
Correct USB host / OTG / On-The-Go cable for your device, if your device does not have a "full size" USB connector on it

Which cable do I need for my 7D?
EDIT:
I guess I need that one right?

Now if it were available in Austria I'd be happy :-/

Yup, thats what you need. I have one for my TAB. Camera connects fine however I'm unable to install the DSLR Controller app. I had to get a refund. No idea why it wouldnt install, other apps are installing fine. I'm running the latest TW rom on my I/O tab. I'll try again down the road.
This app looks absolutely amazing! I've seen various apps that connect to the computer program to control the camera. I dreamed off an app that would not require the computer. I never though it was possible, but I guess it is.
So all we need is the samsung usb adapter and our camera's usb camera?
Can't wait to use this with my 7D!
Hello gyus, got a problem with Overcome 10.1 Series v2.3.0. While im charging my tab (P7510) the tab goes crazy. For example i touch e or another key on the keyboard, the tab recognizes b (example) or another part of the screen. As i already said this problem only comes up while charging, while im not charging it, this problem doesnt appear.
BTW, i'm using Pershoots Kernel.
Do you know how to solve this problem, does this problem also appear on your tab, or is this problem known?
Greetings
I don't use the ROM personally, but I think the guys in the thread for this ROM would have welcomed the question there. Could also be Pershoots kernel so just as well you posted this here. hopefully someone will get here with the knowledge needed to help.
If you can read this it was sent using my GT-P7510.
Are you using another cable? One that isn't Samsung?
I use the original cable. And, i would have posted in the thread but i don't have enough posts to post in the developer part of the board.

If I get a chance to get to my PC today I'll link to this post for you so the users there will see this and hopefully give you a quick and easy fix or answer.

I just kinda realized this used to happen when I had wet hands/sweaty hands on the Galaxy S, when I typed via the keyboard, it tends to read another part of the keyboard and presses another key based on last area touched.
Do you ever get grounded when touching the metal parts like volume keys? Ever tried USB charging and seeing if it happens there too?
Will try to charge my tab on the PC next time. Ill keep you up to date.

Edit: in the options USB charging is disabled. Don't know what the problem is...
I'm sure this have been covered, although after doing a couple of days of research I can't seem to find the answer, so sorry in advance if this has been gone though already.
I'm on cyanogenmod kernel version 3.4.66-cyanogenmod-geaa7c91 with android version 4.3.1 and my dock doesn't work. won't charge or anything. While reading I found everyone had this issue when samsung upgraded to jellybean. So I assumed rooting-flashing was in order. I got it all done and still nothing. Also, galaxy s4 will not dock to it either. I'm guessing my dock might be faulty, although as a new unit I'd imagine it should work fine.
Do I need to run a different kernel/rom? Revert back to ICS stock samsung crap?
I'm not really worried about which rom/kernel I'm running. I'm just trying to dock this to my tv and run xbmc from it. It's a spare phone and I figured this was a better idea than buying a cheap computer to do the job, also much smaller.
If someone could answer my question here, or point me in the correct direction that would be great.
Thanks in advance.
Aloha Everyone!
My S9+ screen has broken yet I can tell it's still functioning as my alarms keep going off etc and when I plug into my PC it registers the phone and should be authorized on this pc.
However since I can't use the screen I can't change the debug settings or put it into "file transfer mode".
I see Dr Fone, Droidkit, Phone Rescue etc. but they all seem suspect and suspiciously all want 35$. I don't mind paying if they work however they all seem to require I put it into debugging which once again I can't do with my broken screen.
Is there any open source solution to this? I would like the pictures on the internal SD of course but I need a recording I made with voice record for a meeting I have tonight. This is my priority and I am currently at work and don't have the time to scour forums and all the regular things I would do.
Any help is appreciated! I don't think this post is breaking any rules and if it is I'm sorry. The S9+ mention is specific but only because I need to explain the generation of the phone as it's older.
I know this is an old phone and I pray someone sees this, infinite mahalos for any suggestions or replies in advance!
You Rock!
Is your screen responsive to touch (Even if you can’t see what you are touching)?
I saw you said broken, do you mean physically? Can you see anything on the screen?
Could you use scrcpy?
It has a few small cracks that water got into and fried the screen I believe.
My alarms going off at the proper times, if I touch the buttons it will vibrate in the ways it should etc.
It doesn't seem to be responding to touch however and it is black as in off, no color or light.
I am looking into scrcpy! Thanks, if anyone has any other suggestions that would be much appreciated!
Spcry won't work because I am not in debug mode, or rather never authorized it while I had it unlike all my previous phones. I got bored of homebrew apps and didn't bother doing it on this one.
Not sure there is anything you can do. No PC programs can control, no Bluetooth mice, no nothing.
Damn, you would think there would be a program at this point to bypass everything and grab your files.
Thanks for your help everyone!
If there was, I would be patched right away, and whoever reported it would get thousands of dollars for the report.
im pretty sure you can use a usb c hub with hdmi and usb to plug in a mouse and your phone to a tv
This is late, but questions do NOT belong in the Development section. Also, this post is for a S9+, not an S9.
