Not how to get an answer!

Stop spamming all other peoples open threads (they created them for a reason), you will get an answer but be patient and someone will give you an answer and try to help.:mad: That's four times I count now in as many minutes! :(:(

not the way to go about it.
[Streak 5 General] ardkor2thebone:
OK , I used to love my streak, it was cool , unusual , it made a bold statement but over the last few months I've grow increasing frustrated with the device which has now reached boiling point. This include the following points:-

1)Damn Dell Streak PDMI connector, the connection on my phone is duff. Many a time I put the phone in my pocket and the connector has got debris stuck to it. The phone then refuses to connect up to my PC via USB I’ve used compressed air to blow the crap out of the port and this sometimes brings it back to life. However recently its given up the ghost, the port still charges up when connected but the phone does not recognized that its hooked up to the PC. My workaround has been to install dropbox to upload pics etc but there’s no way of me doing anything else. Also the pins on the connector are really flimsy.

I think that either the port or the cable pins are bent and thats why they are not joining up correctly.

2)Low on space message – Phone storage space is low. Somehow I’m using 1.6GB of phone space and only have about 140MB left? I’ve deleted all but the essential apps like whatsapp, google maps, swiftkey etc. Everything else has been moved to the SD card, all my videos and pics are on my SD card. I’ve even deleted all my sms messages but the bloody phone still complains about lack of space. WTF is taking up all the space, is there any way to find out, can I compress or remove the junk?

3)Battery life or the lack of it. Basically I cannot keep my phone running for a full day. I have to reduce the brightness so its barely readable outside, switch off gps and bluetooth. Throughout the day I change the battery like 3 times. One solution that I’ve tried and failed is getting a bulkier battery for ebay that also acts like a stand. The problem is that the hinges on the battery keep sliding off whenever I take the phone out my pocket. The stupid sensors detect that the phone cover has been removed and shut the phone off:mad:

4)Lastly I accidentally dropped my phone today, it only fell like 2 foot from the table onto the marble floor, the glass seems to be fine, but there’s inky liquid flowing across the top half of the screen, slowly black lines have appearing that run vertical down the phone.

I used to love my streak but its just become too much a pain in the arse to use. My options are to try and get the phone fix , which is not easy as I’ve working out of Saudi Arabia at the moment and will not be back in the UK for a few months. If the Samsung note was release today I would of jumped for it..

So is its worth the hassle to fix the phone or just bin it and buy something new? Any suggestions.

Don't forget the video recording quality it's awful even old Nokia phones have better quality

And slow in loading games comparing to other 1 GHz phones like Galaxy S series
[Streak 5 General] boxerlover02:
Man, you have the same hatred I have for yours as I do for mine. I use to love this so much at one time it was the best device I have ever had. Now its more problems and headaches then anything. I can't stand the thing anymore and can not wait till the galaxy note becomes available. Lets just hope its out when I'm able to upgrade and they don't slap some ridiculous price tag on it. I can't imagine spending more then about 200-250 on it. I wish I could help you or had some words of encouragement but I feel the same way about this POS as you do dell dropped the ball on this one I find it funny that instead of trying to work with it and fix the dang thing they essentially tucked their tail and ran by just ending the life of it. I said it before I'll say it again I will never buy another dell product again
[Streak 5 General] p51d007:
I must be about the only one that loves mine.

2.2.2, pretty much straight from the box. I use mine for business, not games, video or music. Got mine because it has a huge screen, which I use for web and email.
[Streak 5 General] hpacura:
Regarding the 'low on space message', have you tried to do a factory reset?
[Streak 5 General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
You're not the only one. :)

OP, I understand the frustration regarding battery life, but to have the GPS chip running all the time is ridiculous unless you use external power. Most apps work fine with cell tower triangulation, such as Google Earth and Google Maps. If you actually navigate using Google Nav or a GPS app, then you turn on the GPS.

For the display, in direct sunlight no display will be bright, even if it's a transreflective one. However, I do find that in most situations, setting the brightness to automatic does wonders.

I can't comment on your PDMI port problems because I haven't encountered any. But for your other gripes I believe your expectations to be a bit unrealistic.

Streak5 Android 2.2.2 KO Constant & random boots

:(Hello gentlemen,

I really wish I had your problems to contend with.

However, I seem to be in much much worse shape with my steak android 2.2.2:

After forays in Blackberrys & Iphones I decided to take the plunge into Android.

As a first droid device I got a Dell Streak 5 with android 2.2.2 from Ebay. Thought it would be a good little tablet with secondary uses as a phone.

However, after receiving it I quickly noticed the bugginess of the whole device. Without warning the streak will flash the navigator buttons 3 times & then power off. Sometimes it'll happen while browsing the net, other times by launching the pre-installed apps & in many occasions even when I just dial a number in the phone.

Now I've checked the battery/battery cover issues, but all is in order and the flashing buttons prior to reboot do no seem like electric contact related.

The phone is stock Dell issued with the factory installed android 2.2.2 & all apps are the standard pre-installed ones. I have reset to factory settings & recalibrated the screen without any joy.

Any ideas?

Would this be a brutal hardware issue, would switching back to previous os levels help?

Any hints/insights will be greatly appreciated.

Baseband version: GAUSB1A135100-EU

Build number: 15609

As additional info, this behaviour happens with or without SIM/SD Cards.

With or without wi-fi connection.

Does this strange instability I am encountering make you suspect hardware of software issues?

Would downgrading to previous levels OS levels help?

Will now try getting some logs out of the thing & post them hoping someone may help.

Really love this device's phone-tablet form & i'd be a shame to throw it out because of these issues.

However, if it turns oit it is some hardware issue I see a trash can in it's future.... unless some one can refurbish the thing at a decent price. Any thoughts?

Thank you

Beppe
[Streak 5 General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
You got your Streak used off ebay, meaning used, correct?

Try upgrading the ROM. Version 360 is available, and may solve your issues. Not because of bug fixes, but because the previous owner may have had a bugged flash when they put 351 on the device, or removed the wrong stuff when rooting it.

In short, for some reason the ROM is unstable, and installing a ROM can fix it.
[Streak 5 General] Krad:
i agree with most of your points... I am running a Dell Venue Pro with wp7 on it and I can't get over how much of a better experience I am getting off of that phone then android and my streaks... I have pretty much retired my streaks and only going off the dvp now.

I was able to easily load mango and I am really digging the phone with the keyboard. I don't think Android is primetime.. I will wait for jelly bean before I go Android again.

I had used the streak just for gps for a few days, and it still had issues... Using Garmin for WP7 now.

I only had necessary apps running on my streak, no games, no widgets, no updating backend programs. It was so frustrating...

Ohh and all that time waiting for a damn website load on the streak...wtf. Everything comes up right away on the dvp.. only issue it has is no flash.. but i don't really use flash on the phone anyway.
[Streak 5 General] BeppeDL:
Hi Strephon,

Tnx for the reply & tip.

Yup, got it used. The guy I got it from (on the cheap side so I guess I shouldn't complain too much...) claims he used for 6 months & then had Dell update it in july. According to his story they did & they found no hardware faults on it. He's supposed to send me some official docs to prove those claims.

Also says he's not techy & never messed around with the roms .... but the superuser app is on it so I'm a bit sceptical.

I'm in the process of documenting myslef so I can do a proper rom install, will try 351 then 360 as you suggest. Wanna get all the info right as this is my first dab into android - nice OS but gives u so much wrope to hang yourself with!

However, before flashing I was checking out the phone & services; I noticed some notifications about GPS & OVOO errors. I turned the services off & removed a few extra apps I found lying arround. After this step It's been going for an hour of use without the berserk ultra frequent boot cycles. Gonna dig a bit to figure out if one of those apps disagrees with this version of 2.2.2 that is on.

Will see what I can do & post the results here. Hope I can sort it out, such a sweet phone & fab 5 inch screen. If I have to surrender, gonna sell it to those phone recyclers on the net, get ye olde Bblackberry out of storage & patiently wait for the Samsung Note. Can't go back to sub 5 inchers after the brief experience with this Streak.

Bye & tnx again for the tips.
[Streak 5 General] donalgodon:
If you used it for music, you'd hate it more than you now realize. It has one of the worst audio playback systems I've ever heard in ANY media device. The radio noise and signal noise is so terrible that it's almost beyond words.
[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
Using it with headphones, it's about on par with my old iphone 3g.

But I dont use the bundled ones (i havnt ever tried them)
[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
I use my Streak for music nearly everyday. Mostly over BT in my car and with the bundled headphones. I find both methods to work fine for my. I am no audiophile but I find the Streak's music performance fine.
[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
The speaker on the back is pretty dissappointing as far as music and sound. But seriously who would use it like that and expect for it to be good/great.

It can put out a fair amount of power and at lower volumes it's pretty acceptable. It's a matter of being it's nearly physically impossible (for it's price range) to make great sound come out of a single speaker it's size.

Over bt it should be all digital until it finally hits the headset so it's merely the quality of the media player.

My point still stands about headphones, I have no complaints at all with my current earbuds. Though as mine are in-ear, normal ones might be a bit quiet.
[Streak 5 General] _2bad4u_:
For the back cover problem i have done this and now i can remove the card with the phone turn on.
[Streak 5 General] Rico ANDROID:
Awwwwwwe! C'mone now... Dont go hate'n on the Dell Streak like that. Putting it in the pocket and getting lint in the port aint the Streaks fault... You gotta give it a little credit there. I get good pics and vid quality from my baby!
[Streak 5 General] Rico ANDROID:
Marvelous Marv, I do the same! Plug my Streak into aux in the car. Which mp3 app do u use? Anything better than PowerAmp?
[Streak 5 General] (InsertNameHere):
My main problems have been the earpiece not working from new, intermittent then finally didn't work at all, has had to go to hungary for repair, and the battery cover seems to come off quite easily even when in my Otterbox Defender case.
[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
Player Pro and PowerAmp are the two that I like best. I like the internal interface for Player pro better, but the lockscreen widget for PowerAmp is better. I am using Player Pro right now. Also, IMO, the response to the BT buttons seems to be better with Player Pro. They are very close overall.

Staying on topic - I hate my Streak because I don't have two of them. :)
[Streak 5 General] 80slovechild:
my dell streak is amazing. the web browsing experience blows my mind, and it fits in my pocket. plays music thru the car stereo like a pro. poweramp lockscreen is incredible. screen big enough to read when on the spiderpodium on the dashboard. bubble upnp to stream music, movies, pics to the telly.

cannot fault

brought a blade, broke within a month

streak still going strong. no new parts, not hardware issues.

so easy to mod. im an android newb

dell support from donut, to eclair, to froyo all within a year

i cannot put this device down.

superhardware. great roms from djsteve and fards and others. wicked.

cant believe all u people are having such a bad experience. maybe i got lucky. i got one of the good ones
[Streak 5 General] zancro:
I Share Your Pain

I have experienced all the same challenges as you, and have run the same gamut of emotions. The only thing you left out is the piss-poor wifi connectivity. If I move from one room to another I have to manually reconnect.

Really too bad, as the Streak was a great concept, just very little forethought went into the design. Then, to add insult to injury, Dell washes their collective hands and declare EOL for the device.

Never again!
[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
zancro,

Your experience with WiFi is not typical.

The Streak is EOL only in the US. Dell Streak UK Link Even if it wasn't it would not be the first phone/device with a short life.

While you may not agree with the design decisions I think a lot of thought went into the design and the design works for me and many others. There are devices that are still in the rumor stage that may tempt me, but nothing I can get right now makes me want to leave the Streak.
[Streak 5 General] borijess:
I have to say I have had my streak for over a year and I am still loving it. Running 2.3.3 and its as quick as ever.

Sent from the SuperStreak! ;-)
[Streak 5 General] htcjikelly:
It is a hardware issue. And, it will get worse. Contact Dell and they should replace it for you. I had to return my original Streak because of that problem. They sent me a refurbished Streak with the identical 3 flash restart failure. I returned that one too and got another that has had no problems.

I love my streak. It is the best phone I've ever had.
[Streak 5 General] BeppeDL:
Hi Kelly,

Yup, sure is starting to look like it, hardware issue big time.

Just checked on the Dell site & according to the Tag number it's covered till 2012.

Gonna try & send it back.

Can you shed some light on the process u followed get Dell to take it back?

Never had to deal with them up to now. Had plenty of their PC but luckily they have been bullet proof.

Tnx
[Streak 5 General] (InsertNameHere):
I just had my Dell Streak replaced, the earpiece didn't work, i only bought it new a few weeks ago.

Chances are, you will be getting a refurbished handset in return. They send a courier who takes the phone, puts it in a box for you, then in perhaps less than a week you will have a replacement handset.

Keep your MicroSD card, and do not send anything other than the phone, battery and back cover.

And finally, Dell has to have the worst customer support known to man, whats the point in the phone you buying having a imei in the first place if they are gonna give you somebody elses? Why refurbished, why not actually repair the customers device? I know, its Dell.
[Streak 5 General] BeppeDL:
Hello gents,

After digging around for quite a few weeks I'm pretty sure that 3 button flash before reboot points straight at a hardware issue. Luckily the guy who sold it to me on ebay still had a warranty on it & the streak is off to Ma Dell to get fixed, for good hopefully. I hope that Dell will do what they have done for a number of Streak owners affected by this sindrome & just ship a new unit with the hw issue resolved.

Thanks to all of you for helping out on the matter.

Ciao

PS. This now leads me back to my search for a big ass android phone to replace the Blackberry. Gonna hit the web for some inspiration
[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
When they were more plentiful Dell would send a replacement first. I am not sure if it is the lack of Streaks causing them to require you to send your unit in first or the number of people (based on threads I have read) who did not return the 'broken' Streak after receiving the replacement. Do you want to wait for them to repair your phone? It is probably more effecient for them (at their end) to send out a working phone when they get yours back and not be concerned with getting a specific phone back to a specific person. They may even wait to 'repair' the phones until they have a batch large enough to warrant running them through the process or they need to replenish refurb stock to answer support demands. The effectiveness of this approach depends on their quality control of the refurb process.

The IMEI identifies the phone to the network and is not intended to identify the subscriber, your SIM card does that. More info

While the three button flash may point to a hardware problem, it has also been caused by software issues. There are a number of users in the various who solved it by reflashing with a stock ROM to make sure that all parts of the software were 'in sync'.
[Streak 5 General] (InsertNameHere):
My phone went directly to Flextronics in Hungary, this company carries out all Dell Streak RMA in Europe.

As for 3 button flash, this normally indicates a baseband/rom mismatch.

Same thing for me, blank screen than return to homescreen. Not installing a custom rom just to have netflix. 3D is the reason I bought this thing.

Like someone else mentioned, we'll most likely have to wait for 2.3 (gingerbread) in some shape or form before this app will work for us.

I'm hoping CM7 pans out quickly and gets some of the errors resolved. Its the only rom I've ever wanted to use on my captivate

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shuweee:
hoping someone can shed light on a issue i'm having.

when i got my sgs2, i root the phone using chainfire's CF-root using ZSKG2.

since the release of the stock, i flash the UGKG2 back on but retained the root.

i assume with flashing the UGKG2 kernel, it reverted everything including the modem files back to UGKG2.

ever since going back to UGKG2, i have been experiecing slow data connection or timeout and wondering if its a modem issue?

have anyone tried other modem files and saw improvement? or know where i can get just the modem file for ZSKG2 as i would like to try the modem of ZSKG2 instead?

Thanks

Well we all are having few difficulties and wish list for after mango.

So if we add them here again in one place then DFT people can actually know whats the best thing people need badly right now.

for me these few are missing badly:

1) a full features google maps.

2)skype (for godsake atleast an app? IM just sucks after mango!)

3)wireless keyboard( bluetooth )

4) connect my laptop and phone via ad hoc network

5)find on page in IE9.

6)flash ( i dont think its gonna come:()

7)a full features android i know is gonna come soon after awesome work of DFT guys but yet a time frame can be much more helpful.

8)If there are a bunch of developers want to make some windows phone games then let me know i am thinking to heed in that direction.

9)connect phone via HDMI cable to any Television screen ( i am on HD7)

I wish everybody would get off the "I want Android" crap! Go get an HD2 if you can't live without Android! Why did u buy a WP7 if u are just an Android fanboy?
[HD7 General] hardik_hrc:
hummm let me tell you why.

On the hardware part HD2 AND HD7 are similar but still there are some features and a kickass stand which makes HD7 a better choice.

WP7 is damn good but at the end its a new OS so it still lacks some of the basic features like skype and flash which are easily available in android.

so if you have the freedom to dual boot it the WP7 can work as primary and whenever you are going to get some things off the shelf you can switch to Android.

Build quality of HD2 is not upto the mark compared to the HD7.

So tell me one reason why android should not be there in a WP7 phone?
