[Streak 5 General] ARHMogul:
I had the iPhone 4 for a total of 3 days before i realised it was the same tired iPhone I replaced... Sure they "added" some things, but the feel of iOs is simply boring compared to Droid.

Now I haven't received my Streak yet, just ordered it yesterday, but I am using the Samsung Captivate at the moment and it is 1000 times better in my opinion than apple could ever be. i find it hard to describe, but its like android is the offspring of iOs and winMo... So the "flash" of apple and the "tweakability" of windows... So that's my thoughts, can't wait for my Streak!! Hope it helps!!! :D
[Streak 5 General] ztm.000:
Yeah man I feel you. Because i had a nexus one from February till the end of June and I miss it. :/ I think I may go with the Dell tomorrow. I'm going to check it out at my local AT&T. Thank you a lot for input.. I am just so fed up with Apple. And it hasn't even been that long. :( anything else about the streak I should know or look out for?

Thanks again.
[Streak 5 General] ztm.000:
Wow. I really hope I can get it at an AT&T tomorrow. Does anyone in te US know if it'll be available tomorrow to get at a core store?
[Streak 5 General] mjaverto:
According to Lionel Menchaca @ Dell, they don't have plans to release it in ATT stores at launch.

Lionel Menchaca 12 Aug 2010 11:03 AM

"@nb_mitch and whostorm: No, the Dell Streak will not be sold at AT&T stores at launch. Don't know beyond that. "

[Streak 5 General] :
Good question. I've got an iPhone 4 myself and can't stand it, thinking of making the switch as well.

What sort of adapter did you guys use for the microsim?
[Streak 5 General] ztm.000:
Alright well. I think I'm gonna do it. I just have to go off of pure hope that I'd like it. I'm gonna try to call an AT&T store to see if o could at least look at it if they have one. But you guys would say go for it, yeah?
[Streak 5 General] ztm.000:
seems like you're right (i feared this lol) online only.

and i think im gonna go straight into an at&t and ask for a regular sim. who knows...
[Streak 5 General] stephman:
iPhone 4 microSIM to fullsize SIM

I purchased a microSIM adaptor on ebay...cost me $7 for the item and shipping.

Tested it by taking my microSIM card from my iPhone4, placing it into the microSIM adaptor and inserting that combo in my old Nexus One and it worked no problem.
[Streak 5 General] :
Excellent. Thanks for the info.
[Streak 5 General] ztm.000:
nice... i just went to an at&t store and they gave me a full size one for free.

So, i sold my iPhone 4 for $550. woo! i ordered my Streak, and i'll be talking to you guys here more. :)
[Streak 5 General] yosemite_sam:
i got tired of the iphone 3g and dodged the iphone4 bullet. i didnt wait for its release i went for the streak on june 4th instead. i did my homework before making that decision but most of all they never had any real features worth waiting for.

I love using OSX but come on if they bothered the ipad and iphone could have had all that goodness rather than cripped os's. its akin to taking a baseball bat to a racehorse!
[Streak 5 General] sn707:
Just ordered my streak today! Have an iPhone 4 but really miss Android and my N1. I'm still pretty pissed at Dell for the whole fiasco plus I paid $550 for a locked to ATT unit. I have ATT but still,weak sauce. Oh yeah, and 1.6 wow thanks.

If you have an old sim trace around the micro sim then cut. I used a small piece of tape and it works great. Not the ellegant option but it's effective...
[Streak 5 General] ztm.000:
i don't think we'll regret our purchases man. im happy about it.
[Streak 5 General] sn707:
I feel the same way, I have been watching the Streak like a hawk. I have some big hands and I think it will be perfect for what I want. I got overnight shipping, sucks to order on a Friday. I am glad I waited though, I was so close to buying a beta from eBay.
[Streak 5 General] ztm.000:
ive only been watching it for a couple days now but i knew i needed a really good replacement. and it seems i have found it.
[Streak 5 General] jnovello:
I still have my iphone4 and the streak. I miss the games (angry birds.) There's no denying they have more apps in general, but I got board of it. Think about 3G, 3GS, and 4 are all basically the same phone.
[Streak 5 General] ARHMogul:
AT&T will swap out your micro sim back to a standard sim for free, being that the only phone in their linup that uses it is the iPhone... I had to go from standard to micro and back again and they didn't argue at all.. The rep told me that it is a common trouble shoot to swap sim card so they had no problem doing it for free. :D

Also, Dell has chosen to sell the Streak purely online, from the Dell site only. According to Dell, they wanted to make sure that all Streak customers were handled the same way to avoid problems, being that it was the frist phone they released.... ( Iwas told this by a Dell rep, so I am not 100% sure on the validity.)
[Streak 5 General] ztm.000:
sounds pretty logical. reps at stores can really make the process suck. especially when they stutter and they aren't positive on the features and stuff. eh.. i dislike buying phones from at&t. im glad dell sort of has a 'nexus one style' way of selling its product.
[Streak 5 General] :
Another question for iPhone switchers? Since you had to sign up for a new two year deal to get the iPhone 4? What option did you choose for your Streak? Did they let you grab one for the AT&T price? Or did you just purchase it outright?
[Streak 5 General] shEEEsh:
I have a factory unlocked iphone that I use with T-Mobile. I don't get 3G but don't care because with my Nexus 1, 3G drained the battery pretty fast. I owned the Beta Streak and sold it 2 weeks ago. Wish I hadn't. It was unlocked, and once again, got AT&T 3G but not T-Mobile .. once again I didn't care. Today my USA Streak arrived. Locked to AT&T .. Took a chance that maybe it wouldn't be, but it is. Going to send it back on Monday. I read in a few places that next week Dell will be selling it UNLOCKED.. what a crock if that is true ..

When I power up it asks for an unlock code. FIRST THING .. I am going to call Dell and ask if the 'unlocked' internet rumor is true .. I am also going to call T-mobile about the unlock code .. you never know ... Can't hurt to try. THEN ...

I have a friend that works for AT&T .. has an AT&T store. I just asked him who is the 'holder of the unlock codes .. Dell or AT&T .. ' he said AT&T .. Being the phone is so new.. maybe not .. In any case he said "Come to the store, bring your phone and we will call for an unlock code."

When I leave there I will probably still be holding a brick, but CROSS YOUR FINGERS!

PS .. I love my iPhone. When I had the Beta Streak I forwarded all the calls to my iPhone. I didn't have it long enough to get used to talking on it .. BlueTooth headsets didn't get great reception.
[Streak 5 General] ztm.000:
it gives you an option to choose a $250 discount (the subsidy of course), so it'll check if you're eligible for it. i knew i wasnt so i just continued on
[Streak 5 General] a042349:
Yup same for me, just went right to the unsubsidized price because I had "spent" my upgrade on an iPhone 4 two months ago

Since this thread is "iPhone users who switched" I'll also add this.

My iPhone itself fits entirely within the SCREEN area of the Streak.

For me at least, and my tired middle-aged eyes - game over Streak wins in a rout.

YMMV of course.

And my iPhone that I paid $299 for (with subsidy) is being sold tomorrow morning for $675 through Craigslist. So price wise I'm actually a little ahead - gotta love Apple's resale value if nothing else.
[Streak 5 General] ztm.000:
Yeah, apple's products resell for a lot. thank god
[Streak 5 General] potheadhero:
I am on the fence as far as selling my iPhone 4 and jumping to a Streak. I just want to make sure I make the right decision. Has anyone made the jump already and how is it going so far? Do you have any regrets? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance guys.
[Streak 5 General] toyfreak:
On the fence too...

I've been thinking of leaving iPhone 4 for Streak but I'm going to wait for a week or two and see if a factory unlocked version drops in the USA. I'm liking the iPhone 4 (had a 3G) after switching from WinMo a couple of years ago.
[Streak 5 General] phjnky:
I have ordered a Dell Streak which should arrive tomorrow or the next day. I am planning to use it as a secondary device and keep my iPhone 4 as my primary. I might try the Streak as my primary device and see if it works. The iPhone does a number of things pretty well, including stuff for work, like VPN, Telnet and SSH. I'm hoping the Streak will provide a better experience when it comes to accessing routers, servers and appliances remotely. The screen size is a pretty severe limitation with the iPhone when it comes to doing any serious work and I've found my eyes getting worse lately for anything close up. I have to put the readers on, especially in the morning, in order to see the iPhone text very well, or constantly zoom in.

New to Android, so I know there's a bit of a learning curve. I sort of expected a little more activity on the various forums about the Streak but it seems kind of slow.

I'll report back after I have a few days to compare it. I know things will improve with 2.2.
[Streak 5 General] sn707:
Got my Streak today... very happy with it so far,lools like the iPhone is going to get sold. 1.6 pisses me off but, ill root it soon and try something else. I really love the screen and the build quality seems really good.
[Streak 5 General] Zankoku3:
I am planning on getting the Streak hopefully this weekend. Does anyone know about the plans for the streak? I'm currently on unlimited text and data. do I have to change plans when I order mine?

Thanks :)
[Streak 5 General] phjnky:
Just a quick update...

My Streak came in yesterday and I've had the better part of day to get familiar. Having never used Android, I found it pretty intuitive. The things I needed to get working on it first were VPN and the ability to telnet into routers etc.

The VPN works fine but I installed 5 VPN to make entering the password a little easier. I'm surprised you can't store it.

I used Connectbot for telnet and it works fine. I had to configure the escape key and map it to the camera button but hopefully I can find a keyboard that has ctrl and esc built in.

I've installed a few widgets and I'm still getting the hang of maneuvering around.

Just to echo what others coming from the iPhone have said, it is clunkier compared to iPhone 4. The closest thing I can compare this to is a Nokia N810 tablet I had.

As far as the size goes, it fits fine in the pocket. It's really not as big as I imagined and the slimness makes it fit pretty well.

Actually liking it pretty well, but I'm not ready to ditch the iPhone 4 quite yet.

Just paired the igo stowaway bt keyboard. Works really well.
[Streak 5 General] :
Any more thoughts or spare change now that you've had more time to play with the Streak?
[Streak 5 General] JayWheelz:
Just bought a Streak

I just bought a Streak on Thursday.

It should be here come Monday morning.

I'm also an Iphone 4 user.

It's kinda funny seeing how many Iphone users doing the same thing.

Makes you see that Apple really needs to step their A game up.

As far as the Streak, this will be my 3rd Android device.

I owned a Archos 5 IT and I'll compare the Streak to that rather than my Iphone.

Hopefully I can root the Streak and get it up on 2.1.

I'll let every know what my experience is with the device when it comes.:D
[Streak 5 General] epi117:
So far im loving my Streak, Have the streak for two days, never having used a android system I was a bit nervous at first, but I am finding it very easy to use (YouTube videos to the rescue again) .

Loaded up all my kindle books and the screen is a blessing compared to the iphone 4G, and much easier to hold than I ipad.

Sold both my iphone and ipad on craigslist this weekend. iphone covered the cost of the streak. but, if a 7inch ipad comes out I would still jump on it in a second.

Took some nice photos at a outreach event this weekend and the photos and camera interface are very nice.

Not a big phone user but when wife called I didn’t feel to embarrassed to be holding a bigger phone (having used the old bricks in the 70’s and recently using a HTC advantage it was not a biggie.

At 50 years old the 5inch screen is nice, Android not as intuitive as a iphone but a lot better than windows mobile.

I found my self not using the iphone much after i got a ipad, hoping the streak makes me fel the same about my ipad.
[Streak 5 General] :

Only time will tell. What did you get for your iPhone 4?

I want a Streak badly but I just am unsure about Dell. I still can't believe Dell released it with 1.6. It's not that 1.6 is bad per se, it's really not, I think what concerns me is that they made a choice to launch it that way. What else might Dell do? How well will the Streak hold up after a couple weeks use, in build quality? So many unknowns.

I almost hate my iPhone 4, but it's the devil I know if you know what I mean?
[Streak 5 General] shEEEsh:
I use a bluetooth much of the time . . I haven't totally put away my iPhone, it has my default sim card in it. I have a second phone number/sim card. I forward any call made TO my Streak to my iPhone .. I will do that until I decide if I can use the Streak 100% of the time.

I have a few annoyances right now with the Streak. The biggest one being the screen rotation. I was considering turning it off .. I notice if I move my hand to fast it will close a program or it will rotate the screen wrong .. There have been times I notice a program opens in portrait .. NOT A PROBLEM, but I turn the phone to use portrait and it changes to landscape ..

Videos that I have looked at on YouTube are pretty much unwatchable ..

Those are the biggest annoyances for me right now.

1. Im having trouble syncing my yahoo email account, it constantly says that my password and user name are wrong, when i know they are right.

2. Every time i end up re setting my phone, my apps i downloaded go all crazy on me. like it says my apps are installed, but i have to reinstall some of them for them to show up in my widget box, etc.

3. the new google voice that google put out today, it wont download, or finish installing when i try to do it from the market. also, all the apps from the market should be availble that that 2.2 is on my phone?:confused:

4. my reception and my 3g data have been all of the place today, does this have to do with my freshly rooted phone?

It's not terrific news. This kernel driver is basically a bridge between the closed-source, proprietary userland part and the actual hardware.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Sokesleezy:
Do I need to be rooted to use this? Im trying to put a custom boot animation of my phone but when I run pushbootfroyo.bat it says device not found?

Peace.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] M@XLOL:
fastboot???
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nukedukem:
You need to make sure that your device is showing up when you start pushfroyobat. If your device isn't showing up as "H7HHJK7645" or something like that in the top left corner of the command prompt screen, you need to double check all the instructions in the original thread.

If your device number is not there make sure you have HTC sync and all the drivers installed.

If it is there try using pushboot. I think pushboot2 requires nand and/or root, and pushboot is for unrooted? I imagine froyopushboot is for rooted as well. You don't neccessary need froyopush for froyo, in fact the older pushboot2 was the only one that worked for me in froyo (rooted/nand).
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] DraginMagik:
yes, you must be rooted. that is what evanscnce was referencing when he said "HALFROOT" or "FULLROOT". i'm guessing halfroot is w/o NAND.

i think pushbootfroyo may be a CM6 fix not a froyo fix.

Sense based ROMs seem to work well with PushBoot2

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] John_Q:
Fastboot your phone. On the top line it should say S - OFF. I also used Unrevoked to root my phone. Pushboot should work for you I used it several times without a hiccup, just make sure you run pushboot2 .bat file

Any success here? I really want to get rid of the clock in my status bar :(
[Desire General] Fightspit:
Hey guys !

Why do you waste your time to modify the service.jar because you can remove the clock/time in the framework-res.apk.

After decompiling the framework-res.apk, open the arrays.xml in res/values/ and at line ~130, you will find this:

<string-array name="status_bar_icon_order">
<item>clock</item>
<item>battery</item>
<item>secure</item>
<item>alarm_clock</item>
<item>phone_signal</item>
<item>phone_evdo_signal</item>
<item>data_connection</item>
<item>cdma_eri</item>
<item>tty</item>
<item>volume</item>
<item>mute</item>
<item>speakerphone</item>
<item>wifi</item>
<item>tty</item>
<item>bluetooth</item>
<item>gps</item>
<item>sync_active</item>
<item>sync_failing</item>
<item>ime</item>
<item>headset_plug</item>
<item>hac</item>
</string-array>

This is my config in which I put the "alarm_clock" icon after the "battery" icon ( by default "the alarm_clock" is located between the "clock" and the "battery")

So you can delete the "clock" line if you dont want to have it in your status bar.

Also, you can change the position of each icon in the status bar.

[/Thread] :D

CM, Defrost and OpenDesire have options to enable/disable clock and its colour. Or am I not understanding the question?
[Desire General] SkyDX:
I can't find any arrays.xml in a framework-res from a MIUI-AU ROM is it located in a different .xml in MIUI roms?
[Desire General] jackattack:
This is an old thread, but if you're still wondering about the arrays.xml, you have to decompile the framework-res.apk with apktool or apkmanager to access the human readable xml files. When you do that, the resources.arsc file is decompiled, creating the values folders.

Did the arrays.xml edit on Liberty for the D2, ended up with no icons on the right side of the status bar. Has anyone confirmed that this works?
