Realy confused and in need of help

I recently upgraded to wm6 from the t-mobile site. At first it was running flawlessly and very fast. I have installed windows live, resco and tcmp and still things were quick. after a few weeks, strange things started happening. When i went to my SMS/MMS and began to write a message, the flashing cursor would move along as i typed but no letters would show up on the screen. If i saved this message inot drafts then opened it again, i could then see all the text i had written and was previously hidden.
Soon aftet this started happening, the same began in windows live, then word etc...
recently, my athena has started to crash within an hour of a reset. Most of the time, if i start a program, just the bar at the top will load and nothing else, this is most serious in SMS/MMS. also, when this happens and i got to memory (the start menu and setting tab are still quick) it shows that i always have over 50 meg of ram left. Although, if this helps at all, the device runs slowest when turned on from sleep mode. Before i put the device in sleep mode, when i goto file explorer i can hear the microdrive fire up and this programme runs slow. after if has been in sleep for 20 mins or so, file explorer will never boot up properly and there is no noise from the microdrive.
I have tried hard rest, starts fast again, then slows to nothing after few days. I have tried various tweaks i have seen on here, such as disabling autooff and disabling the x-button programme. I have run spybot and antovirus software and nothing. Anyone got any ideas? thank you in advance

There are many many programs out there which hangs my devices and cause the behaviour you described. pocket hack master is one of them, which strangely works for others but not my device. Anothe is Touch Commander.
I usually uninstall the software once they cause freezes.
Try installing and testing your software one at a time to isolate it.

got a feeling it could be windows live. Unfortuantly, this is probably the programme i use the most. Is there any known issue with this?

I personally have had no problem with it, but sometimes one person's experience is not definitive. Try turning it off and see what happens.

mysterious double post deleted

i uninstalled all programmes and it seemed fine but when i put windows live back on. the problem started again. im using build 10.00026 i think. is there a later version than this that could help?

I think PK ROM is likely to have the latest version, but Powell is the one who could confirm this.

Dell Streak 5 various problems

Dear all,
i have a Dell Streak 5, with following specs:
Android Version: 2.2.2
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9-perf
Build Nr: 15609
The issues are:
- If i use the phone on my pocket with screen to my leg, when i need to unlock screen, i usualy can't, its kind of crashed...
- If i have the wireless ON, and go out from home, usually phone crashes , and when i go to use it, i see there was a reset. Seems that this wireless is kind of instable and make mobile phone crash.
I would like to upgrade something to try to solve this small issues, can anybody help me?
Thank you
Tiago

I forgot:
Baseband Version: GAUSB1A135100-EU
thanks.

I don't know what to tell you as far as wifi crashing your phone. That's never happened to me. As far as the other issue, seems pretty common. I think the recommended "fix" is to not carry it with screen facing your leg. I'm sure that's not what you want to hear....but its the best I got.

i can't explain why you wifi makes your phone crash, but for the impossibility to unlock the screen. i had the same problem, and somebody told me the problem was the heat of the leg that makes the screen tilt. so i bought an otterbox case with a belt clip, so with the screen untouched it works perfectly.

for the screen against leg issue, I just toggle the power off then on and it works.

yes, i agree to lordmorphous, don't face your screen to your leg..
just in case, you may try to calibrate it, or if the problem still, maybe you can re-flash to another latest stock rom.

I have never experienced the screen issues involved with facing the screen towards my leg, and I always put my Streak in my pocket with the screen facing my leg. I guess so far I've gotten lucky.

I had got such issue that can't unlock the screen when I used the official ROM.
But there is not such problem when I use the Power Rom V1.1 now...

The ROM makes no difference. I run 360 on my Streak.

I met a guy in a train station, and since there are not a lot ppl with such mob, i decided to ask. In fact, with screen faced outside, the issue finished. Strange..
Related with stock ROM, i think this is my next step: upgrade! the process dell.com.blablabla is always crashing, and sometimes i need to wait to use the phone. awww, not to say that i can't synch with my outlook
I am a bit disappointed with this phone/tab, i was expecting that it could work better.
Any tips on ROM? I am actually trying to use titanum backup to backup data, but it says again cannot root! How i root it?
Thanks again.
Tiago

Everything You Always Wanted To Know About The Streak But Were Too Busy Bricking It
That link there is your first step, for it explains how to root and how to do various other things. Now...I tend NOT to recommend using Titanium Backup since in my experience it screws up when restoring items. Your mileage may vary.
As to a ROM, stick with a stock ROM for now until you are comfortable with the rooting process. I have attempted to use GingerStreak but had a problem with the camera app so I had to go back. Flashing a ROM could fix your issues since a bad flash has been known to be source of the force closes.

Hi again,
finaly i tried a simple method: the gingerbreak, and rooted. Now that is rooted, i want try a diff Android version (from 2.2 to 2.3?).
Is there any recommendation?
Of course first i would like to backup all the data (already from the SDCard) but i am talking about the ContactList (i tried to use the simple: export, but onde again i got an error :/)
Any tips?
Thanks for all the help.

I've been having lots of little problems too.
My device randomnly decideds to restart time to time. There doesn't seem to be a pattern to it that I've worked out yet. But it's crashing right now and I have to soft reset it.
Another thing, if I have it in normal landscape mode but turn it on while holding it portrait mode or the screen isn't in the same orientation that it was before the screen turned off, Dell Stage often crashes.

Exactly, mine restart very often too, but i think i know why. Try disable wireless before leaving your "home network"... in my case, it solves that crashings... only crash if dell stage crashes too... but most of times, its solved.
The only "bugs" i have are: camera button does not work, and when i turn screen on, the "unlock slide button" is ALWAYS in the portrait position.
I wonder, if this is solved with a new android version, or dell "libraries" update?
Thanks.

for all those who think the problem does show up when u put it in the pocket facing your leg ..... i had the same view two weeks ago when suddenly i ran into this problem. i think best solution is calibrating the screen .....

Calibrating the screen was what i've done when i could not unlock my mob phone for 1 week, i was desperate
After that, i solved all the screen issues using screen outside and not against leg.

[Q] GT7510 32gb keeps switching off

Hi
Has anyone experienced that the tablet switches off constantly with out any any specific reason?
I could easily surf or read an email without switching off.. but then i would watch a movie and it switch off instantly or the other way around and its not even shutting down.. it just goes from powered on, to completely switched off.. It does not get hot and it does charge perfectly and the battery level does not drop/discharge radically.. it has never been dropped or manhandled. and it started doing last week
I'm on stock 3.2 PDA:KMP CSC:KMP (XAB), not rooted..
Any ideas, suggestions?
Thanks in advance

I suggest you to discuss your matter from where have you bought the notebook as there might be some problem in hardware

I used to own a Galaxy Tab plus 7.0, which experienced this known problem of random reboot and/or sleep of death. You could google that to find out more.
I've since returned it for a refund. Then I picked up this used P7500 a month ago. It has not experienced not even one reboot. Sure, apps do crash from time to time, but the OS never completely froze.
How long have you owned your unit? If relatively new, I would returned it. If for a while, and only recently you experienced the problem, then I would do a factory wipe, or at least re-trace your steps and uninstall the last few apps. Also, ask yourself whether the problem is already related to certain apps. If so, get rid of those apps.

hi
Did a complete wipe.. so now its close as possible to factory default..
Could it be a battery calibration error? it works plugged in to either pc or wall socket.. works 10min after but then switches of randomly
Thanks for all the help/suggestions so far really appreciate it!
I know some mentioned the option of returning it.. But its bought in the US and im located in Denmark!

[Q] WiFi issues on Nvidia tegra note 7

I just bought an Nvidia tegra note 7 and I'm having issues with the WiFi. The device's WiFi keeps getting disconnected. I noticed this problem first when I was downloading an OTA update. It would keep stopping periodically and then start again. I dont think its a problem with my router coz my phone and laptop work fine.
Any ideas on what I should do?

I recelled that happening a new times on my device back when it was on 4.2 JB, seems to have been fixed with 4.4.2 update. My quick fix was just to OFF/ON the tablet, sometimes, going into AIRPLANE MODE, and switching back to normal mode would work too.
I recommend you just download the KIT KAT UPDATE.ZIP and load it manually from the SD card instead, of OTA

I'm curious, are you using the slide cover? I always had issues with the touchscreen when waking the tablet by opening the cover, and in helping someone else with that issue, he mentioned that he thought it might be the reason he was having wi-fi issues as well. I've never had any wi-fi issues myself, but it's worth a shot!

Slide Cover...Yep

Yes, I am using the slide cover as well, and no wifi issues after updating to 4.4.2, but I am still experiencing "ghost" random double tapping on my device. Quite annoying, and its been mentioned a few times in other postings. I hope its really a software problem, and not a defect with the digitaizer.

You might want to try cycling the screen off and back on with the power button after opening the cover. This is a software issue that has existed since this tablet released. If the screen still does this after a sleep/wake cycle with the power button, then it could be a hardware issue.

I've been having the same problem. Very annoying. Will updating to 4.4 fix anything?

In general being on Kit Kat is awesome, better than JB. The external SD card being only READ ONLY is really the biggest problem after the update. The tablet has to be connected to a computer to add/remove items.
If you dont use a MicroSD card on yours, even better. HP hasnt gotten around to updating the permissions to let their own HP FILE MANAGER cant write to the external SD card....

Way out

Its most probably an issue with the JB4.2(from my xp).An update to JB4.3 or KK4 would do.

Windows 10 on MacBook Pro

I usually use Parallels for Windows but I thought I'd try Boot Camp since a lot of Mac users recommend using it. I installed the ISO file and purchased Windows 10. I made a partition and everything seemed to go great. I ran Windows 10 and I'm now facing two issues. First issue is Windows 10 does not seem to detect my Wi-Fi. In other words, Internet does not work. Second issue is, I cannot adjust the screen brightness. There's an option to automatically adjust but I can't do it manually. The option is greyed out. Any solutions?

What year is your Mac book? Did you try the boot camp drivers? On mine everything except the hardware function keys work. However, I can adjust brightness via software

My MacBook Pro Retina is Mid 2012. It's worth mentioning that when Boot Camp Assistant finished installing and saving all the Windows 10 files to my hard drive I got the below message (see attachment)...
So I contacted Apple and they said that sometimes you need to download it manually and they gave me this link: https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1720?locale=en_US
And so I downloaded and copied and pasted all the content in the BootCamp folder to the root of my hard drive. And then when I ran Windows, I doubled clicked on the Setup file and I installed it. I noticed the mouse worked a lot better in Windows and also the volume buttons worked (they weren't working). But the brightness and the Internet did not work even after installing the Windows drivers.

I solved it. Brightness and Internet are working now. I'm going to explain how I did it for future reference, in case someone faces the same issue.
So I basically had to boot to Macintosh and partition my hard drive in Disk Utility, I chose Master Boot Record for the partition scheme. I then ran Boot Camp Assistant and chose the option to download the latest Windows Support Software from Apple only since I already did the other two options before. And this time it downloaded successfully, I didn't have to do it manually like last time. Anyway, after Boot Camp Assistant finished downloading the drivers, I boot back into Windows and ran the Boot Camp Setup file that's on the hard drive. And that's it. It automatically connected to Wi-Fi and I can adjust screen brightness.

Thanks, for posting your solutions. I am very glad apple just released the new boot camp drivers so quickly. I have been very pleased with windows 10 so far

Glad your problem solved. Although I didn't face the problem you had, I can't make the function (fn) button working. For example, I can't adjust the keyboard backlight. Do you have the same issue? Thanks
