[HD2 General] k20a1:
i was looking at that today..

i was considering getting rid of my hd2 for it..but then again..my pockets arent big enough for that phone lol..

so i decided to jsut stick with the hd2 untill they can port android on it or tmobile gets another android device with a 1ghz processor
[HD2 General] hoss_n2:
too big , low quality plastic easily scratches, lower ram ,only landscape
[HD2 General] M3PH:
Dell are calling this a tablet to be in the same class as the iPad. So considering the streaks screen is only .7 inches bigger than a hd2's what does that class our device as? A mobile phone, a PDA or a tablet? By Dells reconing it would be a tablet but the streak is really nothing more than a PDA with a phone module. If you look at it this way i'd rather keep my HD2.
[HD2 General] l3mm:
I would like to have a play with one to see what its like, but according to the specs, its is huuuge! Would dwarf my HD2.

My feelings are I have had my HD2 for about 8 months now and it is still top end smartphone on the market. Not many other phones I have owned I can say that about. Roll on the next 8 months!
[HD2 General] morpheus1982:
Thanks for the comments so far. I do not think that the Streak's screen size is big enough to warrant calling it a tablet, also, the casing around the device just makes it bigger than it needs to be IMO.

IMHO, I feel that the HD2 is still the best device on the market simply because no two look alike once XDA possesses your soul, and I am still interested in it 8 months on.

Come on competitors, what else can you throw at us? Try harder!
[HD2 General] p@bs:
This is exactly the sort of device that I'd replace my HD2 with IMO. Rather than trade down for something with a smaller screen, because lets face it, I don't think any HD2 owners would ever consider doing this after experiencing such ease and clarity with a bigger screen, so the only option is to upgrade in size, and this device certainly ticks the boxes for me.

I love my HD2 and everything that I've been able to do with it since reading & putting into practice all the tweaks that I've learnt of this site, but I'm now feeling like enough is enough as miss the android feeling as it's more 'with the times' than WM. Android itself is growing at an alarming rate and will no doubt be the number 1 mobile OS in a very short time, and the dell streak is the perfect device to complement it.

On a slightly lesser note, it's a shame the device didn't ship with 2.1 or 2.2 but I guess at the time of production, 1.6 was version on offer. I also think the price is good, so selling the HD2 and putting a few quid in seems well worth it.
[HD2 General] kilrah:
Too big.

The step from HD2 with 4.3" and thin frame to 5" and thick border is the one that kills convenience and portability for not much. The HD2 is very comfortable yet just fits well in the pocket, but nothing bigger would, and on the other hand 0.7" don't change much in usability.

Android might be the (only?) interesting point.
[HD2 General] fantasytozi:
Just played with 1 in store today for about 10'

It's really huge, not fit in pocket absolutely.

But the screen and colors somehow amazing. With TFT screen, the screen is like a bigger one of HD2.

At 1st, I like the way Dell skin the homescreen, smooth and fast. We can choose how many homescreen, and manage the background apps (somehow).

No double tap, just pinch to zoom when browsing, got flash too.

5mp camera seem not so good.
[HD2 General] snerkler:
Looks good apart from it being landscape only. I prefer to hold devices in portrait unless viewing photos/movies, so this alone rules it out for me :(

Just done some more research and it appears that the Dell does have an accelerometer so should work in both landscape and portrait, can anyone confirm this? Can you type etc in portrait?
[HD2 General] stoolzo:
didnt know it was landscape only, I am sure this will change with an update though. I have to say I was tempted but I think android has a way to go yet, it hasnt even got a decent video player yet - coreplayer may change that soon though... (dont hold your breath though)
[HD2 General] theonlynickleft:
I want one. Hoped I could purchase one from the UK but I would have to move there to do so. Got to wait a month. I hate waiting for anything.

[HD2 General] fantasytozi:
I'm really tempted by the Streak now. I love huge screen and rarely make phone calls, but I love Winmo too. It's hard to say goodbye with my HD2
[HD2 General] buzz killington:
I like big screens but the dell has a little too much unused extra dimension for me. I'll wait for the Sony Ericsson 5.5 inch android phone :p

Actually probably not, HTC will probably have a 5.5 inch out first with minimal bezel like the hd2, and I'd want to get that one.
[HD2 General] theonlynickleft:
I have been trying to replace my iphone for about one year. I haven't found anything where the plastic is as nice and I like the way everything looks on the the iphone screen. Tried a few WinMo phones, but everything always looked so TEENY on the screen. A few weeks ago I bought the Nexus One. For a day or two I considered selling it and moving on to the next device, but little by little I am liking it. [I wish the screen was bigger.] I was considering the Dell. I like the Android o/s - **LOVE** Swype. I am getting very good at it now. I had a tough time typing on the Nexus, but with Swype my 'Swypos' are minimal !!

I have Tmobile. Not sure what other phones I could use. Want to stick with Android though.
[HD2 General] xavierdemon:

[HD2 General] Demon_man:
I took my friend to go get one yesterday, well what a joke, the guys in O2 aren't allowed to sell it sim free (in my town anyway), they didn't have one on show and we wanted to see it and have a play we both had to put our HD2's behind the counter so they would let us play with it for 5 whole mins (WOW).

So car-phone whorehouse we went 6 of the guys in their didn't even no what it was, even though there was a big poster on the wall, the one guy in there that could help, said yes we sell it sim free £429 i thought thats not bad considering, so he go's in the back to get one, comes out all red faced I'm so sorry guys we haven't even got it in stock yet, were not getting it till next week when the Dell rep comes, (What a joke surely you should no if you have that brand new device in the store yet), so as we walked out laughing we though Phones4U, hahahahaha never had such fun in my life spoke to a girl in there she just look puzzled, then the manager came over, he asked what we wanted explained what it was showed him the leaflet and he said were not getting that phone mate tbh were a sh%t store and just laughed. So he didn't get one went home and ordered one on-line, morale of the story don't go shopping in a poxy town like mine.

After playing with the device got to say it is fun, but

Too Big to use as a phone

landscape only sucks edit(turns out Paul confirmed its not)

you're gonna have to use a headset of some form to take calls

screen is tuff as boots.

I'll stick to the HD2 thanks:D
[HD2 General] troed:
The HD 2 was and IS the best Smartphone on the market TODAY, until the HD3 comes ;):D

HTC has the most experience in building WM-devices and Android ones and - except obviously raped and misprogrammed Network-Provider-ROMS such as O2, Vodafone, T-mobile - has the most stable performance. I bought mine with HTC-stock-rom, and since ROM 1.48 (and the great mods from the geniouses here at XDA) no freeze occured ever. It is serving me without any flaw all over the world, and this is exactly the same experience that I always had with my Touch HD.
[HD2 General] Dogmann:
@hoss_n2

You know what you really do post a lot of rubbish on this forum and seem to be seriously misinformed to so I'll answer you points.

too big,

Maybe for you it is but that's just your personal opinion after all for many others it's a great or even perfect size.

low quality plastic easily scratches

Really and you know this how? I played with one today and it's a great quality plastic and feels really good and it's to early to say if it scratches easily or not as no one has owned one long enough. If you mean the screen as well that's also wrong as that's made of Gorilla Glass and their was a video of someone attacking it with a ball point pen and no damage was done check YouTube or Engadget to see it.

Oh and that's not just MO either but that of others that have already got their Streak which includes Paul from MoDoCo. I'm still waiting for mine to arrive.

lower ram

Really as Paul has just been running some tests on it seeing as he has already Rooted it yup in under 1 day it's Rooted and it's showing 408mb of free Ram so where do you get this low Ram idea from then.

only landscape

LMAO just wrong nothing more needs to said here it works in landscape and Portrait modes don't believe me read this post by Paul on MoDoCo where he confirms for some one that the seesmic app goes full screen both in portrait and landscape ?

In fact read the whole thread for his first thoughts on the Streak.

http://android.modaco.com/content/d...-streak-thoughts-dump-got-questions-ask-here/

Having now seen one hands on as opposed to just pictures or videos it is not as big as i thought it was going to be, now if it's to big for you only you can decide but it has to be bigger then an HD2 to fit in a 5" screen.

Marc
[HD2 General] ez2remember:
4.3" with hardly any bezel/border AKA HD2 is the largest I will go. Anything bigger is just too much for me. Even the TG01 footprint is too big for me.

Imagine holding that Dell next to your ears...
[HD2 General] airwater9:
Contrary to others, I think that 0.7 inches makes a fairly noticeable difference as it adds around 1cm to both the height AND width of the screen. I've seen people using this as a phone and something that large on the side of your head looks makes you look stupid. For me the bigger issue is that it weighs 220 grams versus the HD2's 155 odd grams which you would really notice in your pocket.
[HD2 General] p@bs:
The phone function on a device like this will play second fiddle to data. This is why I feel Dell have stolen a march on the other manufacturers out there, because as smartphones have, and are evolving, most people are using them for data first, and voice & text as the latter. Obviously voice and texts are a needed function, but data is becoming the most wanted thing now as we live in an 'always on' connected world with a thirst for information at the touch of a button and the need to be constantly kept up to date.

The streak is perfect for this, the screen looks ideal for browsing, just like the HD2, but offers a much better landscape experience by the looks of it. I for one use my HD2 for 70% data related stuff & the streak is a perfect size for my eyes. Also, the spec sheet reads an 1500 MAH battery so hopefully it'll last longer than my HD2!

I might hold off for when the 2.2 update comes along and by that time we'll have more in depth user reviews on how good it is in the real world.
[HD2 General] RReckless:
+1

Couldnt agree more.

[HD2 General] L22EEW:
5" screen !!!

I started drooling after looking more into it. But still in love with my HD2, so i'm ok... for the time being :D
[HD2 General] L22EEW:
Haha...
[HD2 General] theonlynickleft:
.... .07 inches might now seem large if you are talking about something a foot long .. but it is a nice size jump 4.3 inches to 5.0 inches .. EXAMPLE: My dog gained 4 lbs and I thought "no big deal." The vet said "It is a big deal on a dog that weighed 3.5 lbs .. she more than doubled her weight."

I don't like landscape mode only. Can that change w/ an upgraded rom?

I keep trying to find something that will convince me to NOT buy this .. but so far, I think I am still on for it's USA release. How about that new Samsung. Isn't there a Samsung android on the way ?
[HD2 General] hoss_n2:
firist it is not your right to evaluate me this way (this is my opinion about dell streak ,and iam free to say it ,)

second the front of the streak is shiny plastic which scratches even if you don't touch it

3rd ,dell streak is very large for every one not for my only it is taller wider and must be used with two hands

4th hd2 has 576 mb of ram which is more than sell streak like i said

5th the home screen is only in landscape . apps portrait and landscape but homescreen is only landscape

6th you don't seem to have hd2 so go away out of our forum with your (68 useless posts )

dogmann

as you name yourself :D:D:D
[HD2 General] vinokirk:
As soon as i get my rebel sim i will be having my free 2week trial from O2. A 5" screen would be amazing for me. I could never go smaller than 4.3 now i have been spoilt by the HD2! The footprint of the Streak is probly the largest i would go.

I compare any phone to the PADDs in Star Trek, the closer it is too one of them, the better :)

Hi XDA.

As I am going on Roskilde festival, I've been testing the how much battery time I can get out of my hero. I was wondering if there would be any considerable gain from underclocking the hero in terms of battery life? Or if it will just make the hero slow and nothing else?

EDIT: what would some good settings be?

I have Xda III and I am trying to update to this rom: Alpine ROM 1.11.00 WWE with Radio 1.04.00 and ExtROM 1.11.180 by pietsukkle

I am runing win vista and XP in virtual box. I have tried updating in both OSes like this: Soft reset, Sync with pc, run maupgradenoid. In xp the phone will go into bootloader mode and then the upgrade utility will flash an error. If I try to update in bootloader mode the upgrade utility doesn't find either rom, the current or the target one. Vista is the same, just without the error message, I have to kill the process. Can anyone help? Please?
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] voyager5:
maybe you can take out the battery,then use the USB connect computer,If the popup window select installation and install the driver.then Install the batteries,falsh again.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Wihtefaust:
I synchronize my phone using ActiveSync. After flashing wizzard my rhodium wanted a driver. I didnt find it and now I'm standing in the tricolor.

Somebody help me please what to do !!!!! :-(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
In the tricolour screen (the bootloader), does it say "USB" at the bottom ? If so, you should still be able to flash it ok. Though if there is a missing driver on your PC, it might just come up with an error and not be able to flash it. You could still try flashing from SD card in that case.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Wihtefaust:
I did a soft reset and my old ROM was boot. Driver is missing. I have to install it. Thx
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] XERO_Racer:
if you want to obtain the missing driver, you shouldve left the phone on the tri colour screen, and now this is my question, what OS are running? Win7 or XP? if youre on Win7 its going to search for the drivers on the internet and it should take 5 mins, as stated above if the drivers are installed it should say USB on the bottom and should be ready to be flashed, this happens to me once in a while when i flash a ROM, i just leave it on that screen and let the computer do the work and sometimes the RUU which is the program u use to flash a ROM will have an error, thats fine, just re run the RUU and should be fine from there
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Wihtefaust:
My OS is win XP, but this computer is adjusted using XP lite. One of important component is removed (maybe drivers support... idk). I did not know that I have these problems during the flashing on this computer.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DJGonzo:
If you have the ActiveSync drivers it should be automatic. If you were able to Sync with ActiveSync, you can flash. Just let it install the drivers by itself or download ActiveSync again and install and try again.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cr1960:
or flash from memory card.... no need for drivers.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Cain1220:
Have you tried doing a Windows update while the phone is hooked up to your computer? Your computer probably just doesn't recognize the phone. I had that problem when I did my first flash. Windows update just found the drivers and installed them and I was good to go.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] hx4700 Killer:
I think what he was trying to say is that he used N-Lite to strip down his XP install and removed some critical driver or possibly PNP pieces..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DJGonzo:
I understood that but if ActiveSync works, then flashing should work as they are the same driver. Probably needs even less components than ActiveSync.

There are so many problems on this froyo, i mean bugs that should have been fixed but were not.

I will b ordering my nexus next week probably, should I even get a nexus?? Or should I not??

Following issues that I've read that ppl have complained on so I'll put it all in one thread n pls kindly tell us if u know::

When will I be able to put any app on sd??

When will my trackball awake work??

When will the Other minor issues b solved??

Is there a hack coming soon for the froyo n1??

Plz discuss this so it can help me n others getting/or not getting the phone!!

Is cyanogen goin to release for froyo??
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miketlo:
Never, goodluck without this stuff! just kidding... cm and rom chefs will fix and release new roms once froyo has completely been released on github.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] urbanlarsson:
You manually installed a leaked, non-released version of FroYo and you are asking why there are bugs in it?

Well, I am going to assume its because you installed a leaked, non-released version of FroYo, but I could be wrong.

EDIT: Yoy dont even have an N1, in that case I suggest you test it with releasebuilds rather then leaked builds.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liam.lah:
[/thread].
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JanetPanic:
Sigh,

Never. Hacked roms may allow it, or you could use a separate partition in the "traditional" a2sd approach. However the official approach is limited for good reason.

When you install a hacked ROM that has the feature. This is not a standard feature.

What other issues, keeping in mind the froyo release we are using is not the final one....

Custom ROMS will be coming, but the official froyo rlelease will probably be when they begin in earnest. Given the history of XDA and HTC it is a reasonable assumption there will be a couple cooked ROMS.

Cyanogen is very likely to release a ROM based on froyo. However we will need to wait for the AOSP release of the 2.2 branch before he can even begin.

On a secondary note can you please make an effort to use vaguely proper English? This post gave me headaches.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arkavat:
You sir, have have surpassed everyone here. Complaining about non issues when you don't even have the phone. Bravo!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjhay22:
Nexus sucks! The "non official" release of Froyo has very few minor issues. I suggest you definitely buy the iPhone instead. The N1 community is getting saturated with cry babies already :-)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daeshawn:
lmao nice!!!!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watercool:
in which way is the official approach limited for apps 2 sd?

Won't there be more and more "sd-card compatible" apps at the marketplace soon after the official release?

Apart from that: I am more than happy with Froyo on my N1..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjhay22:
It isn't about the apps compatibility to SD. The official release just like the leaked one, is set up to where the developers have now the option to allow users to save their app to SD or not. Its all about technicalities. I'm sure it'll be possible for Enom/Cyan and the rest of the top devs to still implement the good ol apps2d we know in their ROMs, its just a question whether they're going against any of Google's set limitations or not.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diversificationied:
I've been watching the I/O videos, and I can tell you that alot of the stuff that is broken in froyo is stuff that isn't finished yet. Very indicative of the fact the the released FRF50 was a blunder of a leak.

Expect the final build to be 58 or higher with alot of the broken bits corrected.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
This OP is complaining about froyo but then asks if he should not get the nexus because of it. But don't you realize that ALL phones will be updated to froyo? So if you don't like it then it has nothing to do with the nexus.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blueman101:
So let me get this straight, the entire purpose of this thread is to ask if an update that was installed manually, and thus not he official final build has some issues. Issues that only a small number of people are experiencing?

Look guys, we found the sharpest knife in the drawer!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watercool:
Buy the phone, install froyo and you will see that you have never seen such an awesome and fast OS... really.. EOM
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JanetPanic:
In Froyo the default A2SD requires the app itself to allow the move to sd and for good reason. Froyo's implementation puts the apps on the FAT32 partition, not an independent EXT3/4 partition. This means that when the SD Card is mounted these apps will not be available. There are a number of situations where this will cause problems (home screen replacement, apps that have background services, etc...)

Over time I am sure many apps will allow storage on SD but it will not be 100% ("When will I be able to put any app on sd?" emphasis mine.)

okay so heres the thing one you dont use good engrish when making youre post two it is very hard to stumble thru the incoherent conglomeration of letters you have vomitted onto this thread three if you dont have a nexus yet why are you worried about bugs that may or may not be present in an unofficial leaked build of the new os four most of the issues you pointed out are not present in current official builds (eclair, etc) and will likely not be implemented in froyo either you will have to wait for hack to be available five i wrote this so that you can possible understand it i hope it works.....
