Hey it's been almost a month or two since I installed CM 5.0.7, on my MyTouch (US version) I'm fully happy with this however, it runs so slow. It freezes frequently and takes a long time to kick back. For example, let's say I'm running on an app. If I press the home screen the icons disappear and it'll take a while to come back. It will do this when I unlock the screen or anything simple.
It didn't do this prior to the rooting. Also when I use my cousins G1, it runs extremely fast the way my MyTouch use to work. Is there a way or a patch or something I can do besides a full wipe to solve this?
i would try upgrading to cyan 6, i had issues like that back on 5, but as soon as i upgraded to 6 all was well...
running a rogers HTC Magic
I got it to go faster by turning off the animations...however, you're right. Upgrading to CM 6 is much better.
I just picked up the Streak today from Best Buy. Once I saw the $50.00 price and realized I could update to 2.2 right away, it was a no brainer, so I thought....
I am actually digging the Streak, if I can get a few things worked out. I am coming from the Captivate which I just recently upgraded to Froyo. I actually love the Captivate now that it has 2.2. I just love the screen size of the Streak more!
FWIW, it looks like the Froyo that I installed is not the AT&T version. I dont see any of their bloatware. Is this good or bad?
The problems I am encountering with the Streak are, backlit buttons do not light up when touching the screen. They only light up when I touch them, which defeats the purpose of backlighting. I also dont see any provisions for mobile AP or tethering. I thought that, even though they may be locked, that they are part of Froyo and should be there? Same with "power widget"??? that is normally above the pull down notification window? You know, where you turn on/off GPS, WIFI, bluetooth? I don't have it. The other thing that came with Froyo on the Captivate but not on the Streak was the Task Manager. Should that be there?
After updating and setting up most everything, it started getting a little buggy. Screen orientation was doing weird things and locking up. Wifi seemed real slow, after being super quick. I went ahead and did a factory reset and I am still having the same issues. I have not noticed any orientation issues YET. BTW I have never rooted a device. I am not against doing it if it fixes things but I prefer to stay stock. Any help is greatly appreciated.
It probably is stock 340 if you did the ota update which is at&t version of froyo for the streak. If you want to tether try barnacle always worked for me. You will have to sideload it because at&t blocks some apps in the market. When i had my captivate i learned a nifty lil trick you can put your phone in airplane mode then turn on wifi go search the market for the at&t blocked app and it would show up worth a try. The power widget on the phone long hold the screen and check widgets.recalibrate your screen that will help don't realy know how to post links so (search, search, search) everything you need to know can be found here on xda its the best site ever hope that helps you some. Remember search i cant stress enough how important it is. Alot of smart people on here i learn something new on xda everyday.
I came from a captivate....
the buttons in the drop down are part of samsung touchwiz and not android itself.
you can get the same desired effect with more buttons using Power Control Plus.
Thanks guys for your help. How about the backlit buttons that don't light up when touching the screen? Is that normal? Also, can the haptc feedback be lowered?
I just turn the feedback off i havent really paid any attention to the lights but i will now. if u root just use superoneclick v1.7 works great just get the right dell drivers.
There is only 3 buttons, so it isn't difficult to memorize where they are after 2 days of use.. I personally like the buttons off...
Dell's version of froyo does not have alot of the features that the Samsung roms have. There is no vibrate intensity setting, no font changing setting (use font changer from market).
I just got 2.2.2 loaded and that has the option to make a sound when you unlock the streak.
You sacrifice a few options with the streak, but it is rock solid stable and doesn't need any tweaks besides spare parts windows and transition options set to fast. so it is lightening fast.
I think I have found the problem. It looks like the light sensor is bad or a software issue that is causing the sensor not to work. On auto brightness it does nothing. I called Dell and they confirmed that the buttons should light up when the screen is touched. and that it is likely a defective sensor. I am going to return it for a new one. On a positive note, the screen had been running at only 1/4 brightness. Display looks MUCH better now that I have turned up the brightness a bit.
just checking, because I read some complains that phone after upgrade is very slow or even unusable. Mine so far works fine on 1.6 OS so I wouldn't like to screw it up. Also is there way to disable OS update notification?
thanks
Before i rooted my phone i had Update 2.2.1 and in my opinion it was great.
It was fast and responsive, there was a little bit of lag with the keyboard i figured it was because i was just typing to fast other than that it was okay, but nothing is better than a Custom Rom,
also To stop the notification, press "More Info" and pull your battery. Some people need to do this more than once, but for others it works on first try.
thanks man! that's encouraged me to try this OTA update I got.
BTW I see in your signature you have gingerbread, is this new system works
for myTouch 3G ??? big difference from froyo?
OK, I have successfully installed Froyo OTA on mytouch 3G and phone still
is working fine. Didn't know there is support on multi touch zooming now, great!
Also there is an option to skip activation on welcome screen when no data plan is available, cool. I skipped it and added gmail account over wi-fi.
Yeah Froyo is a whole lot better than 1.6 lol you did a whole century upgrade ahahaha .
I have GingerBread 2.3.7, as for looks nothin to much but i like the fact that its faster than froyo.
some key features of mines that i like:
Slide to remove notification
Work Done in the kitchen so i have different set of icons(status bar icons), Battery Icon, Popup windows, Overscroll( mines isnt that gingerbread orange, i changed it to a nice navy blue), scroll bar, volume bars, download bars. ect the list goes on lol
and also I'm using the Touch Wiz Launcher thanks to "tvall" .
::Side Note:: in the future if your installing a new Rom (i believe anything above AOS 2.1) you can do skip, i personally like to take my sim card out, and then do the set up, the rom auto detects there's no sim card for data so it automatically asks if you would like to connect to wifi.
Works fine
Broken myTouch
2.2.1 has not bricked the myTouch next to me. But it won't connect to 3G/WiFi, open apps, and is sluggish. Sluggish lock screen, sluggish settings, sluggish home screen. It's slow and a negative experience. If anyone is going to update, I really recommend you don't.
just got this phone so many things are pissing me off already , how do i make it behave like lolipop?
1st problem, navigation button do not rotate in landscape mode, how can i make them rotate tot he bottom when in landscape mode, do i need an xposed module, gravity box or can i do it another way?
2nd problem how can i make the home screen rotate , someone said there was an option in google now launcher settings, there is not, i updated the app and still not here, and besides i want to use nova launcher
3rd problem, volume rocker buttons do not invert when in landscape mode, how do i fix it?
4th problem , can't switch on wifi and hotspot at the same time switching on one switches off the other
i have done this in android before not sure if it is a device issue or or because of marshmallow
1st time using marshamallow and i hate it , can i just flash a lolipop rom to this thing ? are there any custom lolipop roms , this OS sucks and i bet nougat will be even worse
1: I believe you need tablet mode or an equivalent to get nav buttons on the bottom of the screen in landscape. I don't ever remember a phone doing that with out a tablet mode tweak.
2: if you have auto rotate on and install nova, nova should rotate when you set it in nova settings.
3: volume rockers rotating is in most custom roms, id say gravity box or another Xposed module will accomplish that. I don't use Xposed so I can't swear to it.
4: I've never seen any of my prior nexus phones or any android phone be able to connect to a wifi network, and be broadcasting a mobile hot spot. There is only 1 wifi chip, and can only connect to one network at a time, be it connect to wifi or broadcast a wifi hotspot. You might be able to USB tether and connect to wifi, but that's the only way I see it being possible.
There is no lollipop for this phone, as it released with marshmallow. I very seriously doubt it's even possible to build a lollipop rom for this phone.

so there is no xposed module to get the buttons to the bottom?, you think google would have had this as an option since this is a phablet and the biggest one on the market at that , it really makes no sense for the buttons to not rotate to the bottom on a device of this size
i looked in google now launcher settings and there was no option to set home screen rotation to on
i have seem some articles saying it is in there on the 6p but it was not there on the version that was preinstalled on my phone , so i update google now launcher and it is still not in there ,unless it was only there in a version or 2 that were released between the one i had and the one i updated to ,unless google added it and took it out again , like they did with chrome merge tabs to apps option
i could not find the option, but i read in an article that it will only work with google now launcher anyways
unless there is an xposed module to fix it
about the wifi and hotspot , my dad has a POS samsung galaxy avant form metro PCS
he has not wifi network, i got him a chromecast but he has no home internet
and i was able to setup the chromecast and cast to it using only his phone, both as a wifi hotspot for the CC
and to cast to it at the same time, without either being connected to any wifi network
so if i travel to a vacation spot that has a tv but no wifi network i will not be able to take my CC and use it
with this phone,
his crappy samsung galaxy avant will let you have both on at the same time it does not disconnect one when you turn on the other,allowing you ti use CC with the one device and no wifi network present, i guess google removed this too sometime in the past wither with kitkat or lolipop not sure which OS that phone is on but it worked
The way you explain using the CC is the definition of a wifi hotspot. You are sharing your cell data to the Chromecast via your wifi. You just turn your hotspot on and the phone will communicate with the CC and it will pull the internet via your cell data. I've never used a Samsung avant, but unless it had 2 wireless adapters in it, you cannot have two wireless networks running at the same time. You should just need to connect the CC to your hotspot and it should just work.
As far as an Xposed module to move the nav bar to the bottom, there may be. I haven't used Xposed other than trying it out when it first came out. Gravity box would be a good place to start looking.
I'm using the newest (still tech unreleased) Google launcher. It's the one showcased for Nougat. It allows rotation by default. You should be able to find it in the themes and apps sub forum here.
You said you wanted to use nova anyway, and I know it will allow rotation, so it shouldn't be an issue for you.
More complaining/trolling from this guy???

Yup. A moderator seriously needs to suspend this guy. His crap is getting really tiresome. I've reported one of his lovely disease comparison posts. Not sure what else to do.

no i am coming from an iphone
i can't deal with IOS, when the memory fills up on the phone you can't just free it up by deleting some photos or videos , you have to backup and restore the phone with itunes ,which is ridiculous and i hate using itunes for anything it's garbage and it never works right
i guess i was expecting stock android on this phone to run like it does on my tablet, i only ever used anroid on TV boxes, and tablets ,and old version on samsung phones but samsung ruins android with their crappy skins and bloat
they should have made options to have the nav buttons rotate to the bottom in landscape mode like it does on a tablet, it's a phablet and a really large one at that so why would anyone not want to have the buttons rotate to the bottom? volume rocker not switching to inverse in landscape is just really poor ,i thought android was all about customization but now i am finding out that i can not customize even simple basic things that should have been included stock anyways , there is no way to get the home screen to rotate to landscape unless i sideload and old version of google now launcher but i want to use nova launcher
no way to get nav buttons to shift to the bottom in landscape unless there is an xposed module or an option in gravity box, from what i read there is a way to invert volume rocker buttons but it won't work in marshmallow yet
why does google include these features on thier OS for tablets but not on their flagship phablet , it just does not make any sense to me

\yes i had no problem using the CC with the galaxy avant as both hotspot and as a casting device , just phone ,CC and a TV no wifi network or other phone , but i have seen lots of people complaining that they could not get their CC to work like this, they said they needed a wifi network or they needed a second device one to be used as a hotspot and another phone or tablet to connect to the CC to cast from ,because they said they could not their phone to asct a s a hotspot and a casting device simultaneously it worked fine for me after some fiddling around though, but i i have not tried it with the 6p yet , my CC is on my network ,guess i will just have to test it out with just the 6p and CC and no router and see if it works

You hate Android on the 6p and you hate iOS. Why don't you root it and try the tweaks you want to make, and STOP COMPLAINING? If you do the tiniest bit of research you'll find mods, kernals, themes, ROMs and scripts to help you do almost anything you want to your phone. I guess it's just much more enjoyable for you to complain and troll for responses.
You've had two threads closed by moderators. You're unpleasant and unhappy and spout a bunch of opinions as though they are fact. Google actually spends hundreds of hours testing interfaces with real users and agonizing over hex codes and pixel-perfect positioning, so the fact that you want something different and think that should be the final word means absolutely nothing. If you don't like it, change it. If you just want to keep complaining, don't bother.
Blocked.
I agree. All the issues I see can most probably be solved by root. I tried to help you out, but you still co plain, yet you haven't even attempted to root your phone to try the solutions suggested.
I don't really consider this phone a "phablet" as there are quite a few phones of this size these days. Google decided to go "phone or tablet" route and not dwell on the in between. There are several phones larger than this and they all behave the same way afaik.
We have nexus phones to mod them and tweak them. If you aren't happy with it, buy a Samsung or iPhone, or just bite the bullet and make your phone your own.
I've used nexus devices for 4 generations now, and never had the "problems" you've had. If I did, I'd probably have bought another series of phones. Just read some thread and follow some instructions and you can make your phone exactly what you like.
This is exactly why I went to Roku instead of chromecast. Living in a rural area and no access to high speed internet sucked trying to get the chromecast to work as you need a device connected to the same network to control it. I used an old tablet for awhile, but in the end buying a Roku or fire stick solved it completely since they have their own remotes. Some times we are so spoiled by having endless options it is easy to get mad when something does not work as we think it should.

yes i will root it , and i am anxious to do so , but i need to make sure i research it enough 1st and not ruin my phone and get stuck in a boot loop , that is what i was asking in this thread what can i do once i get root to tweak these things or is it even possibel i was asking if anyone knows of specific xposed modules or gravitybox options or addons to change these things
i just got the phone and only owned lolipop tablets which i have rooted and flashed with custom roms
i have not owned any modern android phones so i was expecting it to be the same on the phone like it is on a tablet, like IOS same on on the phone as it is on the tablet , i was not expecting to not be able to customize things like home screen rotation and nav button rotation, google just does not do things right sometimes
i just got the phone so now i notice all the flaws in it,like the phone app ,it is buggy and it does not recognize left to right or right to left swipe all the time to move between contacts, recent, voicemail some times i have to swipe 5 or 6 times for it to move,
my xiaomi mi band takes forever to synch to the app with bluetooth when it works instantly on my lolipop tablet, little annoying bugs like that are now becoming evident to me, i was really not expecting this
maybe if update it will fix it but i doubt it
