[Desire HD Accessories] mrmad23:
This is my first, more in-depth review I've done and I hope you might like as much as to make you share your thoughts it and comment on this.

More pictures can be found here (of course this just some lame excuse for posting a link to my blog:D I hope you don't mind:D)

When it comes down to equipping your phone with a protective, yet stylish case, chances are high you might want to pick one out of Case Mate's large, ever-growing portfolio. It's passion and cure for even the smallest details, for which Case Mate's Gelli is no exception that proves the rule, make their products and editor's pick and a user's favourite.

Case Mate Gelli for Desire HD/4G is made of a light and transparent, thermoplastic material. It has been labelled as "slim" by the manufacturer, a term not entirely misleading, even by very restrictive standards. Gelli's soft grip feels good in your hand and pocket, and as a product both coined at design and function, it also serves its purpose of protection well. It covers the phone's entire backside, leaving a perfectly shaped notch for the usb connector and headphone jack as well as for the camera and the flash lights on the back. As far as the power and the lateral volume buttons are concerned, those are covered, too. Unlike other potentially disappointing solutions on other similar cases, this"Achilles' heel" of fully coating cases, this works out quite well. The volume buttons are almost as responsive as without protection. Less can be said about the fiddly power button, which is hard to push even naked. On top of those specific areas - the volume and power buttons - Case Mate has inserted small badges in the vein of the respective icons. Not only do those add to the design factor, they also boost the usability factor many times over and bring up the question why one should buy a snap on cover with their typical clearances for the aforementioned areas.

The backside has been arranged with geometric shapes and various patterns which will create some appealing reflections, but their technical and randomly arranged nature will eventually at one point take away a good deal from the simplistic, yet elegant design. A less, more concise and limited arrangement would have served better. But this is of course a matter of different tastes and just an aesthetical comment.

The perfectly shaped, hopefully also in the long-term durable case is an eye-catcher but it does not take the attention from your smart phone. They are not competitors, eagerly fighting to attract your attention, but partners: Case Mate's Gelli makes you feel like your Desire HD is always well looked after, even you are not looking after it.

Just switched over from the vibrant does anyone know how to get that task manager from the vibrant u know the one where u long press the home button and the task manager comes up I would really apreciate some ones help on this
[T-Mobile LG G2x] schmit:
This doesn't sound like a feature of this phone. There are task managers out there if that's what you're asking about.. (apps). I just tried it on my phone adn I got a "Recent Tasks" list.. if that's what you mean?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Thegreat520:
I, don't want to see, my, recent tasks I want to, be able to kill apps eating my battery in the background
[T-Mobile LG G2x] schmit:
there are task killers that you can download from the app store.. i.e. advance task killer.

But, you are mis-guided to think that these apps are killing your battery. On the contrary, a task killer kills the battery more than just leaving the tasks alone. Every time you kill a dormant app, you are using CPU, which eats battery. Then when the app starts up again? Eating CPU again.

It is better to freeze apps or remove them using the Titanium Backup app, then leave the others alone. Imagine killing apps 10 times a day.. Killing an app that is just sitting there, doing nothing to your battery. 10x a day, you are spiking the battery into action. Then when the app starts up again? Spiking the battery.

Do some reading on this. Task killers are a thing of the past.. They work ok if you have an app running wild, bogging down your phone (but you still can force close it in the settings > apps).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
^ This.

Froyo and up have built in memory managers meaning if the OS needs more memory it will automatically kill idle apps. I too have a Vibrant and I can for sure say that the G2x handles memory much better than the Vibrant does. If you ARE experiencing lagg or battery drain its probably a badly coded app in which case you're better off uninstalling it.
[Defy General] joaolevysa:
Hello guys!

Don't know anyone else miss this fuction too, but I've tried the MIUI for defy (it's pretty but too buggy, CM7 is way better). I think that the copy/paste function in it could be ported to CM7. The select/copy/paste task in the CM7 is a little messy. The act of select the text and then a pop-up button asking if we want to copy is aewsome.

Sorry for the bad english. :rolleyes:
[Streak 5 General] Techvir:
Recently got Galaxy s2 and I was getting bored with dell streak:p

I am still debating which phone to keep

Here are my impressions.

Main thing I find different

First the most imp thing - There is nothing out there in the market at this time that can compete with our 5inch screen

Screen : Miss 5" Dellscreen ( SGS2 has 4.27inch screen ) . Miss the fun of reading emails, browsing pages and articles . This has been the biggest dissappointment for me so far. However Quality of the screen is better in GS2 with more vivid colors

If u r into documents and editing streak will kick SGS2 in the ass.

Speed : To tell the truth , I have not seen much difference . My dell streak running 354 stock had no issues with speed. I will say SGS2 is slightly faster but i dont think it makes any difference. Aint there a limit to speed ?

Battery : I think its the same. May be SGS2 consumes more ( There are reports of many people having high battery drain)

Warranty : Had so much peace of mind with streak as I had US warranty.

SGS2 in US has European warranty. Will have to see how things will work, if i need it.

What makes SGS2 better

Feel in the hand : This SGS2 wins handdown. Very light weight and thin. Very easy for one hand operation. However, the build is not great. Plasticy feeling. I dont feel as if i am using a high end device. I feels like a toy

Camera : any day better. I thing i hated in streak , is its camera

Video chat with gtalk is now possible. ( very useful for me )

Internal storage is 16 gb . Now i have a total of 48gb to play with ( however 32gb card on dellstreak was plenty enough.

Support : Now i feel what the android development community is like. Dell streak only has steve and his teams support. They are probably the best , however l am loving the contribution from many developers.

The best thing is samsung has given 5 handsets to all the cyanogen developers for development for free... I wish dell did the same thing to our developers.

CWM support is default . Meaning flashing from recovery is a breeze. U can run cwm app and all is done.

Ports : micro usb is standard.

Here is the best thing OTG support for external usb is default.

Loving the fact that i can connect any usb drive, keyboard or mouse to my phone. Wont be doing this every day but love the idea.

Accessories : Are now sparse but hopefully will get better.

There are some apps in samsung like reading hub that I think is useful. Touch wiz is no go for me.

Finally

- There have been many reports about battery drain, yellow tinge on the screen, pink spot in camera , etc > However i was lucky not to see any of it so far.

- I also believe that any 5" screen phone will never get the same user base and hence developer support as some of the other smaller form facor phones.

To conclude :Inspite of the positives of SGS2 i listed, I still believe that dell streak annouced more than an year ago is a beast device. I am still debating , but looks like I will keep my new expensive toy.

If u have questions thrown them at me.

Wow! I will write to Dell if they can do the same. Never know until you will ask ;)
[Streak 5 General] eSZee:
The streak is a discontinued item. Dell won't do anything for an old device when they barely cared for it when it was new.

[Streak 5 General] gregianos:
Since when?
[Streak 5 General] ameiurus:
Where did you get that information???

http://www.dell.com/streak/
[Streak 5 General] rodjordan:
I have had the Streak since the day it was released last year. The screen size is fantastic and I am generally very happy with it. But now I have had enough of a phone that's too big for my pocket and bought the SGS2. I miss the big screen and the nice screen density of the streak but I will learn to live without them. I also have a galaxy tab 7 which I use when i want a big screen experience.

The story so far....

G1

Milestone

Streak

Galaxy Tab 7

Galaxy S2

to be continued ;-)
[Streak 5 General] eSZee:
The streak had been discontinued by att in april/may. I haven't seen one in the 6 best buys in the area in the last 6 months. So other than dell(leftover stock), what retailer sells the device? I only see no name places on amazon mobile. The advertising/support for the streak 5 was crap when it was sold by att so why would dell all of a sudden commit harder to the phone when it's life is basically over?

It's a great phone but dell screwed up from the start by not getting the device proper exposure.

Now its a streak expert.... Ha
[Streak 5 General] brianlp:
In my Illinois Best Buy near St Louis, they still had black Streaks in stock in mid May. They still had the operational model on display. The model wasn't out last week, but I didn't ask if they still had any in stock.
[Streak 5 General] valest:
I paid 2400rmb for my streak,that is 2200rmb lower then galaxy s2 right now.So may be I should just sell my kidney for a little bit improvement?:P
[Streak 5 General] briansj:
The Streak is more comparable to the Samsung Infuse's 4.5 inch screen. I've moved to the Infuse because of the better screen, better camera, and better speakers. The Infuse stock ROM is faster than Dell's stock. The Infuse also easily last me a whole day with moderate usage.
[Streak 5 General] shinydesert:
I don't recommend the streak anymore,specially after all the comments related to broken screens,the screen is also sensitive to humidity,static...no way.I would go with the Galaxy S2 but I think I am gonna go with the Infuse.I know the Galaxy is better but I got kind tired of buying the latest toy....there's always "the latest toy" plus if I buy the infuse I save $200.
[Streak 5 General] mb166ll/a:
with 5" screen, Streak's stil the best except you want other kind of tablet replacement with bigger dimension as GTab or ipad, etc
[Streak 5 General] Namelessboi:
I prefer galaxy s2 than dell streak.
[Streak 5 General] p51d007:
I'm probably going with the s2 this fall/early winter...the streak (for me) will be year old in November. Being single, with no bills, it's nice to be able to have the latest once a year or so ;)

I can live with .5" smaller screen, at the same resolution, dual core, 2.3/.4, and (hopefully) a larger mod community.

Dell & at&t dropped the ball on this one. If the Streak2 came out with an AMOLED screen, I'd give it a look, but it sounds like it will have the same style LCD screen as the current streak.

Friend of mine as the galaxy and the BRIGHTNESS of the screen is just unbelievable, so with the "super" AMOLED screen for the S2, it should be even better.

It will be hard though, to get use to people NOT saying "that is your PHONE" when I pull the streak out of the belt pouch I carry it in :D
[Streak 5 General] valest:
A piece of friendly advice:don't expect too much for amoled,the colour is unnatural,the power saving is not worth mention,and the worst part is,reading text on amoled/super amoled is a pain in the ass.

That's why galaxy s2 uses super amoled plus.Still,I would prefer slcd rather than amoled family.
[Streak 5 General] brianlp:
I still love my Streak, and am going to stick with it. Because of the tracking issues with the iPhone, my wife wants to get rid of her 3GS. We will replace it with the S2. The release date for the U.S. is supposedly Jul 2011.
[Streak 5 General] Mobs69:
I just go my S2 today.

So far I love it. There may be a Streak for sale soon.

I do miss the 5" screen, but the S2 has a 4.3 and it is sooooo much more portable than the Streak.

I do love my Streak though.

If I sell, I am sure I will take a look at the Opus.

Later
[Streak 5 General] Barry (NJ):
The Best Buy near me had none on display, and was also out of stock. I checked BB on line as well, and no Streaks were available there either. I may try to pick-up another to have on the side, as I don't want to go to a smaller screen size when this one dies. I have no problem putting the Streak in any pants pocket front or rear, I have sat down with it in my back pocket and have had no issues with screen fragility. Basically, I love this device and I'm disappointed that it won't be readily available much longer...
[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
Now that replacement screen prices are down to a reasonable level I have even thought about buying a spare screen for my Streak, just in case. My wife has an HTC Inspire with a 4.3 inch screen and it is a great phone, but just too small. Her old Samsung Captivate, with a 4 inch screen, feels tiny.
[Streak 5 General] schizo:
I already spying SGS 2 for quite sometime but it's not yet officially entered our market. Yet one of my friend spoiled the fun out of me by buying it from his friend coming from europe, him being first and annoying is enough for me to look something else. Lucky bugger, maybe i'll look forward to Asus PadFone then.

As for my streak, it's a keeper for now. One can easily find some stocks displayed in several shops here, just fyi.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Delecron:
I had the same problem with my Droid Inc., especially when i used a two dollar ebay charger but still with the factory one as well. Maybe every 10th touch get some reaction but thats it. I assume it has something to do with the capacitative screen but that means there some serious leakage in the charger...

By the way, this took me 5 minutes to write, this keyboard dock lag is really getting iritating.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Tjwoo:
wait, so are you saying you get lag on your touchscreen when you'red docked in as well since the dock charges the transformer?

I sort of knokw what you're saying, as this happened on my HTC evo a while back, but was fixed through kernel tweks and updates, but i've yet to come across this on my TF while docked/undocked both on and off the charger.

If you're updated on the latest firmware, and still doesn't work properly, i'd try a factory reset, or do a return/rma.

i understand that there is a slight lag when typing on your dock, but mine's barely noticeable once i get my writing going. This whole thing took maybe couple more seconds to write than it would on a regular laptop keyboard, if even by that much. I only notice lag when i'm deleting or backspacing.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Delecron:
If its charging off the dock its fine, its when either is plugged into the charger does it present itself.

The keyboard lag is a general issue. Yes im up to 3.1.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jerrykur:
This happens on a number of tablets. The Nook Color has issue with not recognizing taps, entering double characters, or freezing while charging.

And then if your fingers are wet all bets are off. It goes into a loop with screens flipping back and forth.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Karine:
I have a Verizon HTC Thunderbolt and I regularly use the flip feature while on the phone to enable my speaker phone. I turn my phone face down on a flat surface and the speaker phone is automatically enabled. I reverse the process and the speaker phone is automatically disabled. Recently this feature stopped working and now when I put my phone face down the speaker phone no longer automatically starts. Can you please help me restore this feature?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dnakaman:
Go into your sound settings and make sure "flip for speaker" is checked.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Karine:
I confirmed that "Flip for Speaker" is checked. While Googling for a possible solution I encountered a recommendation to try gently dropping the phone, face down, on a soft surface, to "recalibrate its proximity", I tried that and it worked. My speaker phone now works again when I flip it over.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MomentFreak:
Could you be a little more specific about how you got it to work exactly because I haven't been able to get mine to work since day 1. Basically list the steps you did in order for you to get it working again. Thanks
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Karine:
I held my phone, face down, over the carpet, about 6 inches from the ground and deliberately dropped it. Then I picked it up, started a phone call, flipped my phone like normal and it automatically switched to speaker phone.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MomentFreak:
I did that and it stil didn't work. I had to start a call then drop it like you said and then the speaker turned on. After ending the call I called again to see if that fixed it but it still didn't work. In order for me to get it to work i have to drop it everytime I want the speaker to turn on?????
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcmillanje:
Troubleshooting steps:

1) hardware or software? Download "android sensor data" from the market. Observe the readings as you rotate your phone. If the readings don't move, your sensor is broken and you need a replacement.

2) if they do move, and accurately, its software. Google will yield ways to re-calibrate as well as how to enable the feature.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scooter Scott:
I'll be damned...that worked!!!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dnakaman:
Ya, you don't have to drop the phone to get it to work. You can usually just "tap" the phone against your hand or shake the phone to get the sensors to get "unstuck".

I have a question for those with the issue. Are you using any kind of case with a magnetic clasp?

I know they say it doesn't affect the phones, but ever since I had a G1, I've never used any cases with magnets in them because they always seemed to mess up all the sensors.

Just something I've observed over the years.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MomentFreak:
I am using the seidio Convert 3-in-1 but i'm pretty sure there's no magnet in it.

Still working on the sensor info. Will post results

Thanks for all the help
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seabhac:
I've had the exact same issue with mine since day 1 I got the phone. It has never worked with that feature and when I mentioned it to Verizon they had no answers. I'm glad someone brought this up so I could fix it as well!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dnakaman:
You also have to remember that the flip feature also seems to use the prox sensor, so if you just "flip" the phone in the air, it will not activate the speakerphone. I can understand this, because let's say you are holding the phone in your watch hand and you flip the phone quickly to check the time. You would not want the phone to go to speaker for that.

It has to detect the "flip" and also that you flipped the phone against something (like a tabletop, etc).
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MomentFreak:
I recalibrated my sensor by going to display then calibrate sensor. After that I made a call and the only time it actualy works is when you lay it down on a flat surface, but then when you go to pick it up the speaker turns off.. WTF.... The whole point of that is to be able to flip your phone and have the speaker turn on. Why even have it if you have to manually do it during a call anyway? Sounds like they didn't put a whole lot of thought into the functionality of the flip for speaker phone. I use my speaker all the time but what good is it to set your phone down to turn the speaker on, of course you will be able to hear the person talking but what about them being able to hear you?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Karine:
I'm not using a case at all.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MomentFreak:
But when it changes position from flat to any other does the speaker still stay on or does it turn off?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Karine:
Since using the drop technique I described to fix my flip feature, it now works when I flip it regardless of the type of surface.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dnakaman:
As long as the prox sensor is tagging, you will have speaker phone.

Easy way to test.

Call a number. Turn the phone over while holding it in the air. Cover the prox sensor (the sensor just to the left of the speaker grill at the top of the phone). Speaker phone will come on. Move hand away from the prox sensor, speaker phone will go off.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MomentFreak:
So I did the test and when I covered the speaker it turned on and stayed on even after removing my hand and putting it in an upright position.

Is that what it's supposed to do?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dnakaman:
Ahh, I just tested it as well and you are correct!

Seems it does not constantly check the prox sensor.

If you turn the phone back over the speaker phone will be on and unless I cover the prox sensor again, it will stay on.

Kinda of odd since it did not work that way when I first got it. I wondering if maybe something with the custom roms or the kernel, may be changing the behavior?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MomentFreak:
How do you update tasker and what exactly is it?

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bongski55:
Stock is better because the latest oc has overclock which seems to make my gt warmer.As electronics is my profession I know that heat is a major stress factor for components.

I also share the same opinion as thepitbull regarding overclocking.

You can also use setcpu to underclock but for me I'd rather stick to simpler means.
