Hi is there a way to remove/disable the messaging app on hero and have handcent as default? coz when i get a message both apps pop and its annoying
i don't know of a way to remove the built in app that doesn;t cause issues, but you can just turn the notifications off.
in the messaging app, press menu, and go to settings.
turn the notifications off and that will stop it from popping.
i think you'd still get the little green number on the icon though....

thanks dude, worth a try
Root Explorer http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-speedsoftware-rootexplorer-Fiq.aspx find urself a cracked one ..its everywhere
take R/W permission (icon on top)
then go to "system/app/Mms.apk" press and hold then, delete.. then reboot home (i use 1Kill ) it will get ur system together.
use that after uninstalling any preinstalled app it will not start ur undesired services (stop error messages)
Now i have 2.2, i really want to make the most of it
some things i cannot find?
- still no notifications of new sms/mms when streak is off. Streakled only flashes the icons on the right and then it's all black again. This is
the biggest problem off them all. I still cannot understand why this important one is not solved yet.
Possible solution : your streak has to be rooted...install ledstreak...some extra notes thanks to Bizzach
A couple of items on your first point.... I use Streak LED and it works perfectly for me, so that you're notified when SMS's come thru.
If you're rooted, you need to turn off notifications in Superuser Permissions. Then the Streak LED light will stay on after they come on for a second. Also, if you're using Handcent as your messaging client, uncheck the box in settings for 'disable screen on' (or something to that effect).
It's so nice being able to just glance at the phone with the screen off and tell if you have a message waiting that you didn't hear. And yes, I agree, this is the biggest thing that Dell missed putting nativly into the Streak.
more info: you still cannot see your missed calls, just your missed sms/mms.
- i want differend wallpapers in differend screens, love to scroll trough my sexy wife pics on every screen
Possible solution : but still not perfect : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824010
- on 1.6 i had a shortcut to view a red and green bar on top of the screen to view the processor working..cannot find it anymore now?
I downloaded SeePU from the market..it give 2 small bars in the top bar so you can see your network and cpu usage.
- i like as many icons on my screens as possible..launcher pro gives me 5 vertically but the spacing between the icons horizontally is way to much (landscape mode)..can i change it?
Solution : works with launcher pro plus
- the minimum brightness is still to bright to brows at night in bed..anyone an idea how to get it even darker?
possible solution but not ideal : adjbrightness ..but it has no widget to change it fast.
- in 1.6 i had perfect backgrounds, in 2.2 they all are croped and horrible resolution?
possible solution : wallstreak but still i have a grey vertical small band between the differend screen pages when scrolling.
- To many connections issue in stock webbrowser and others.
Fixed : latest update from dell
- google maps has problems showing the map..map on screen freezes.
No solutions yet ...maybe have to wait for updateUpdate : i deleted the last update and now ik works perfect again.
- My dell streak is getting really slow
Solution : install systempanel..so you can stop apps that are eating up resources. it also has a widget you can put on your desktop that kills all the background or
active running apps. You have to exclude some apps in systempanel itself so they don't stop working after you hit stop all...like any alarm apps or dedicated apps that have to be running all the time. So hit the kill all icon and it is all running smooth again.
- wifi is less strong in 2.2 then in 1.6.
No solution yet..maybe someone knows how to tweak this
- No dedicated fm radio app.
- still no dedicated dock for just charging.
- voice dialing crashes all the time
- can't lock orientation to portrait, even with other launchers
- temperature settings on screen seem to be set all skewed... after being in pocket, have to wait for screen to cool before I can slide or pattern unlock phone
- voice features don't work properly for google search or Swype if there is ANY noise nearby, even in near total quiet. seems Dell broke the voice function.
- swype behaves extremely poorly. very not impressed with its function. normally swype performs so much better. I will attribute this to Dell as they've done something to the functionality of the touch screen.
Possibel workaround : I'm running slide-it and it's running perfectly
- seemingly no ability to assign different notification sounds to the varied TYPES of notifications (i.e. SMS, Email, Gmail). they all have to use the same sound.
Solution thanks Rodjordan :can't you set them within each app. I changed the settings in gmail & handcent individually.
-No toggle app works fully for 3g. I always have to turn it on in the settings and after turned on, I can kill 3g for a few seconds with a toggle app, but it will come up by itself again.
- no exchange connection
solution : delete default policy on exchange, synch, create default policy again.
- i miss the icon in the top bar that shows when i'm toggle gps on and off.
- anyone know how to switch between keyboards? Settings just allows modifications to both keyboards; no way to select one.
Thanks to msgnyc :longpress into any textfield and choose input method. Choose your desired input method
- always going in portrait mode after working in landscape and viewing video on stock videoplayer of youtubeplayer?
please share your solutions I will update when i find them.

I have set my Launcher Pro to landscape and set it to 8x6 (so that´s 46 icons if you dont use widgets).
It´s in Preferences - Homescreen Settings - Number of columns (and rows).
I´ve unchecked "Auto-fit Items" and "5 Icon rwos in homescreens".

it only works for the app drawer not for the homescreens.
I only have 3 options in homescreen settings and it's all about how many screens i want..nothing to choose for rows or colums.
like he says it is to be found in Launcher Pro.. try reading a bit.. it helps..

Ooops, maybe it´s exclusive to the paid version "Launcher Pro PLUS" which I use. I´m able to resize widgets, which is also exclusive to the paid version.

this reads more like a bug list so here are mine:
1. wifi has a weaker signal
2. voice dialing crashes all the time
3. can't lock orientation to portrait, even with other launchers
4. temperature settings on screen seem to be set all skewed... after being in pocket, have to wait for screen to cool before I can slide or pattern unlock phone
5. voice features don't work properly for google search or Swype if there is ANY noise nearby, even in near total quiet. seems Dell broke the voice function.
6. market will FC. doing browsing and install, or updating and browsing, market FC's and I have to reopen it. this is NOT intermittent, happens every time.
7. swype behaves extremely poorly. very not impressed with its function. normally swype performs so much better. I will attribute this to Dell as they've done something to the functionality of the touch screen.
8. seemingly no ability to assign different notification sounds to the varied TYPES of notifications (i.e. SMS, Email, Gmail). they all have to use the same sound.

Thanks, will try it...didn't know about the turning off noti.. in superuser permissions.
If it works i update the list
update
btw..pm me if you have found a solution for the above problems..i will add it.
Had two problems, just fixed one:
No Exchange connection: delete default policy on exchange, synch, create default policy again.
Found no solution for the following behavior:
No toggle app works fully for 3g. I always have to turn it on in the settings and after turned on, I can kill 3g for a few seconds with a toggle app, but it will come up by itself again..
Any ideas?

thanks Rodjordan and Krutch...i updated it.
*with ADW you can get upto an 8x8 icon grid for the homescreen. ADW is free unlike LP+
*ADW you can lock the homescreen to portrait mode by selecting portrait orientation and system pesistant
*Official 2.2 came with an Radio app. "TuneIN Radio" but no actual manual tuning tho.

The tuneIn radio app just streams radio, like so many others...the streak has a fm radio module inside so it has to work without streaming. Or am i wrong
Nope, you´re right. With Android 2.1 and root there was an Streak-fm-radio-app on modaco which worked fine for me. It doesn´t work on 1.6 and I don´t know how about 2.2.

Ahh, i got you. Didnt even know the Streak had a built in FM module
I just took the dive and installed the stock 2.2 ROM. I'm not going back to 1.6 but this thing has some issues:
- Anyone know where I can get the numeric battery level?
- *#*#307#*#* fails with something about "PASSPORT on SD" error.
- I was hoping this ROM would fix my Parrot CK3300 pairing issue but it did not.
- anyone know how to switch between keyboards? Settings just allows modifications to both keyboards; no way to select one.
- In 1.6 there was a setting to keep the backlight on when plugged in. Can't find it here.
- I don't necessarily want my favorites in alphabetical order. Anyone know how to reorder the contacts in the contacts stage UI widget?

Im on ics passion v13.1 and every time i download an app the phone automatically makes an icon on the homescreen. Is there anyway to stop it from doing this? I searched through settings for twenty minutes and found nothing...

open up market, go into settings untick the auto-add widgets option and it should stop placing icons on your homescreen
I'm using Kenzo with Global 10.1 Kernel 3.10.84-perf-ga89deb5
Apps that are in the background often dont give any notification. LINE for example only shows notifications when I open the app manually.
Google Translate only shows its popup-translation whenever it wants and is completely random.
Youtube disconnects from my chromecast everytime i go to the homemenu and switch back to the app.
Same with other apps. I've tried adding them to the Autostart permission but that didnt change anything.
Power Saving is off.
Why is the energy saving so aggressive? Am I missing some option?

Hello,
I have OPPO Find X Automobili Lamborghini Edition and i have the following problem:
When Viber / WhatsApp are open, even in background i'm getting all notifications.
But if I close the apps - no notification. So i must keep these apps always open and I think that this is not normal behavior.
I have allowed all notifications from App>App Info>Notifications, from the apps' settings and in App info> Power settings.
Any ideas what else to do?

U have to go to the app management in settings, and look for the ws app or other app, enter to power save and allow in the background.
then go to batery, also in settings, enter there look for the quick freeze option, enter there and turn off the quick freeze for the app.
And the last movement, go to recents look for the app u want to recieve notification and then lock it, pull down the window and u will see the options to lock it or unlock it.

Hello, thanks for the answer. I think I have tried all these steps but no succsess. Are you sure that this really helps?
you have to lock the app by swipe down in Taskfunktion (long swipe up in the middle), you have to do it after every restart of the phone, but it works by me
