[Dell Streak 7] lou0611:
I got mine Brand new in box, but tmobile just sent me an email about the G-Slate, any Opinions on that unit.
[Dell Streak 7] graffixnyc:
I think the gslate is way too overpriced. I would have to buy it off contract and that's $729! that's more than any other tablet besides the xoom 3g/4g off contract. I also saw you were thinking of the iconia.. dont do it.. seems like it has less dev/xda backing than the ds7. Asus transformer is the way to go lou. $399 10.1 IPS display, SRS Sound plus keyboard dock(this really doesnt matter to me just a nice plus) but honestly I might just wait until June 8th when the samsung is released. slimmer and lighter than ipad 2. 16gb 10.1 is 499 32 is 599. 8.9 16gb is 469 and 569 for the 32gb.

I REALLY want the transformer but at the same time, thinner, lighter and thinner bezel (asus bezel is big so is the iconia) of the samsung is making me want to hold out just a little longer..
[Dell Streak 7] lou0611:
Thanks Graff, What s the samsung you are talking about?
[Dell Streak 7] graffixnyc:
http://www.samsung.com/global/microsite/galaxytab/

June 8th the 10.1 is coming out and I think the 89 shortly after
[Dell Streak 7] lou0611:
Sweet, I think Im going to get the transformer, do you know the release data?

Also do you WIFI the Xoom with your glacier tether?
[Dell Streak 7] graffixnyc:
No, rumor is the end f this month.. did you see the pics of the samsung? how thin they are? I'm not a samsung fan boy and was dead set on getting the transformer but then I thought if I did, when the samsung came out I'll wished I hadn't got the transformer and got the samsung. lol

yeah I tethered my xoom to my phone. But I sold my xoom and am either waiting for the transformer or the samsung (I'm like 80% leaning towards waiting but still not 100%)
[Dell Streak 7] lou0611:
on a side note, I just got my new Dell streak, Im afraid to root it so I dont break it again, what sould I do, it came with 2.2.2 stock.
[Dell Streak 7] graffixnyc:
Just flash clockwork recovery then flash dj steves zip in the dev forum.. you'll be ok.. just dont ever try to do a OTA update again lol. if they release a ota then you might have to wait a day or two if that for someone to make it into a flashable zip but you'll be ok it was trying to install the ota that killed it :)
[Dell Streak 7] lou0611:
Should I fastboot the recovery_(CEM).img ?

Boot to Rocovery and load the .zip?
[Dell Streak 7] graffixnyc:
yeah, you can only do it through fast boot. you have to be rooted to flash through romanager
[Dell Streak 7] nrfitchett4:
got my replacement through t-mobile after first one was buggy out of the box. Took 2 1/2 weeks and 4 phone calls, but I got it. So far tonight, no problems with new unit. Did the OTA update before I set it up.

It's running much better than the previous one and has me leaning towards keeping it.

The transformer looks interesting.
[Dell Streak 7] lou0611:
Does anyone know the release data of the transformer
[Dell Streak 7] dotnetguyaz:
I had the same ordeal... First time I called was on 3/25. It was put in as an exchange and I would have it in 7~10 business days. Then, I called back in on 4/1 to be told they changed the policy to a return/repair. They changed it again to an exchange and reset the 7~10 day clock. My last call to them was on 4/19 where I threatened to contact Dell Corporate and inform them of the horrible way that Dell Mobility is treating it's customers.

Interesting thing is that my GF called me this morning and said FedEx dropped off a Dell box at my house... Maybe, just maybe it's my new one (even though I got my old one working finally... lol)...

I'll check to see if it has a return label when I get home.
[Dell Streak 7] dotnetguyaz:
I thought you got yours in a few days? You were able to go through TMO? I tried and ended up with customer loyalty giving me a month credit because of Dell's crappy service.
[Dell Streak 7] nrfitchett4:
The replacement had to go through t-mobile because first one was broken on day 1 (very buggy).

1. Received on Friday

2. Called on saturday to complain about bugginess. Told the DS7 was not "active" on my acct yet. Call back on sunday.

3. Called back on sunday, told I would need to send back 1st DS7 and they would send me a new one. Told them if I had to send it back first I would cancel my acct. They said they would ship new one.

4. called a week later on monday and was told it had not shipped yet. Asked what the problem was. They didn't know. Promised me a call back in a couple of days after "researching" the problem.

5. Called and talked to retention about all the problems I was having getting a replacement and previous problems with getting sidekick replacement done (per their promotion). They promised to get it done right away. Got a text message with tracking info about 15min later....

Definitely too much effort to get a replacement. All told took about 2.5 weeks to get it done.

But still loving the stock DS7 with 2.2.2. Runs great. Stage UI very slow so I installed launcher pro and it's much faster. Everything else was already very fast.

Occasional FC's, but I think that is just android in general.
[Dell Streak 7] dotnetguyaz:
That's about the same that I went through to get my replacement... 3.5 weeks going through Dell Mobility tech support. It was literally a nightmare.

Check out: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1037086 (StreakDroid 1.2)... I'm having a few data issues, but otherwise, really good ROM for the DS7.
[Dell Streak 7] roblee37:
so if and when i get my return slip, do i just ship the streak or the whole box that i previously got when i bought it, and do i include the previous accessories like charge/headphones etc? thanks
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] wd5gnr:
I was playing with App Inventor and noticed something odd. In App

Inventor there is a component that is an orientation sensor. Now obviously, the tablet knows its orientation. However, that component doesn't seem to work. I didn't get my other tablet out to test it yet, but I assume this mostly works on other platforms. So do we know if this thing has an orientation sensor reported to the OS?

Although I have actually developed "regular" Android apps before, I wanted to see how far I could push App Inventor and since I've replaced my old tablet with the gTablet it was the guinea pig.

I worked around it, by the way, by looking at the screen dimensions and assuming that if they flipped, the tablet had been rotated. That's all I cared about anyway was portrait vs landscape.

If you want to see the result (freebie on the market):

https://market.android.com/details?id=appinventor.ai_al_williams.Pushy

Truthfully, nothing special about it being on the gTablet, it was just what I happened to develop on. I will say, it is about the largest thing I've seen done on App Inventor and I would NOT want to do anything bigger. I really think this would have been faster to just do in Java, but the whole point was to push App Inventor.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] thegreatcity:

FPSe has been in development since the WinMo days.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Donte21:
I don't know why you guys are having all these issues with the emulators. N64oid works perfectly on my vibrant(2.2 non-rooted) and so DID psx4droid, being as though psx4droid doesn't work on 2.2 vibrant :(
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CDKJudoka:
Okay, I got a Fascinate from VZW to demo for two weeks. I couldn't resist the urge to root it and install Voodoo SC 2.9.2 (lovin' it BTW).

Hi,

sorry, but I don't get it. I tried several methods I found in this forum to get root and recovery on my device, but no luck. Here is what I have:

SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G

HBOOT-1.33.0013 (SAPP10000)

What is so special with this device. Can anybody help me?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] lomdar:
Okay, I managed to get root on it.

But if I understand it correct, recovery gets overridden every time I do a reboot, right?

Is there a way to fix this? Do I really have to downgrade? Are there any good instructions how to do this?

Whoa... lotsa musicians around...

Guitar = 8 years

Bass = 9 years

Nothing else, although I know how everything should sound like in a band.

@OP trying to learn how to play: Pretty easy, really, if you can sing a little. Go to ultimate-guitar.com and look for the chord sheet. Make sure you have a capo and the song isn't chorded using alternative tunings. Play while listening to the song, with your earphones on in one ear while the other ear listening to yourself singing and playing. Try to record it and see if you liked the sound.

I have a tendency to strum differently from the original song, depending on my mood when I get to the song, really. Also because I can't hold a tune, strum and read the chordsheet at the same time, really.

[Off-topic] Tyrian89:
I found dimebag to be overrated (no disrespect) along with slash. Good guitarists but Friedman has the added emotion and feeling in his playing. Like in his redux of Tears of An Angel or Corazon de Santiago. I'm absolutely gutted that I'm on holiday when he's playing in the UK this year.
[Off-topic] lazzasnow:
No problem mate, I respect your opinion! :)

I don't wanna say that Dime is the best at all but I love his way to shred and his kind of sound; and I agree with you about Friedman, he has a special touch when he pays, seems to dance through the chords!

However I have to see a special shows in Milan on July, the 6th: the BIG 4 (Anthrax - Megadeth - Slayer - Metallica), can't wait to see Mustaine, Hammet & co. !! :D
