[Streak 5 General] smokku:
This is what I heard from a regular Mac+iPhone user. And non-pocketable.

Until he took streak to a hand noticing how thin it is. And it fits into my pocket! Amazing. And the touch screen is very nice...

Overall reception was "it's not that stupid as it looks" ;)
[Streak 5 General] Jezza0:
It bugs me that so many reviewers cite old "firmware" (presumably they mean OS) as a reason to mark down the Streak. That's a crap reason, and a hallmark of a crap reviewer IMHO. I bought my Streak over the Desire because I knew that any (ok... most) software issues can and will be corrected, either by Dell or by us lot over here... but no software update will allow the Desire to browse the internet so comfortably, or be a reasonable e-reader, or enhance the (slightly) weaker battery, or make it such a beautiful platform for CoPilot, etc. In face, the only thing I did not like was the proprietary connector (because that can't be fixed by software). That is, until I found out it's a PDMI port.

A friend of mine recently crowed about updating his Desire to Froyo. I asked if it'd upgraded him to a 5" screen. He looked sad. :D

I just can't help feeling that over the next few months, we will find the Streak becoming greater and greater as cooked ROMs emerge. Good times ahead.
[Streak 5 General] gilrad:
Honestly I think our best hope for Froyo is to keep bugging Dell about their GPL violations until they release their source so the community can get it up and running themselves (and yes, that's not such a great option either). Given what I have seen so far, I wouldn't really trust Dell on this.
[Streak 5 General] Deleted member 2842059:
You are not wrong. And that's why I haven't bought one yet. I even get a 10% Dell discount because I'm a student. But the lack of buzz and adoption of the Streak almost guarantees it to obscurity or failure. At that time I'll happily pick one up. I feel it's just priced too high and will slide down the closer we get to super/hot/awesome/fire greatness or the next thing. I'd like it to succeed as well, but I think Dell has screwed this from the start.
[Streak 5 General] Godo_PPL:
I will assume the idea from Dell was not to release this as an "mainstream" device, but a device to appeal to geeks and such. It is no way that Dell thinks 5" is a phone for the mass market!

I am pretty sure this is a device launched to make Dell look like an serious actor to be reckoned with in the future. Genius would I say :) starting on the top of the pack.

But, just my opinion....
[Streak 5 General] checkbox111:
Well you get a lot more for your money than an HTC Desire, Samsung Galaxy or an iphone,

suposed to be the greatest phones ever the Streak makes them look 'tacky n nasty little boys toys', which is what they are.

The Streak is like owning a top of the range BMW, you're not going to find accessories for it in Halfords/Wallmart :rolleyes:
[Streak 5 General] mirrdhyn:
With a lot of bug...
[Streak 5 General] hpacura:
I think the real failure in north america is the device is locked to at&t used only.

At the end, it's a nice device to have.
[Streak 5 General] mirrdhyn:
I think that is a good product too but the network driver is very buggy in 2.1 (8023) and if this release is the final release, it's a very bad things....

It is BMW not finished.....
[Streak 5 General] checkbox111:
Well that's not finished yet either you muppet.

I don't think i've ever visited a forum where people download an OBVIOUSLY UNFINISHED AND UNTESTED ITEM then all winge about it :mad:

All the BS about it being official and how you should send the 'leaker' a donation makes me want to puke.

NEWS: the official one (when released) will be mentioned on the official websites, them being Dell or 02 themselves which will have a link, might be a bit obvious for some!

If Dell Streak owners are all that gullible, i'm going to start buying all the old first release 1.6 seconhand ones on ebay i can find, install 2.1 then sell them as BNIB just delivered from factory. As they obviously believe everything they are told.
[Streak 5 General] AndroidClone:
In the End

I'm going with ATT, t-mobile is foobared on this phone
[Streak 5 General] HansTWN:
On my X5 they had to exchange 2 shocks in the first 18 months (fortunately they did for free even though after the warranty expired).

Besides, was there ever a perfect product?? Look at the iphone, took them a whole year just to get cut and paste, 3 years to get even basic multi-tasking.
[Streak 5 General] mirrdhyn:
cut and paste are not here on my Dell Streak...

Only on specific application but not on email...

Yes, I know that this build is a "beta" but from this topic and an other this build (8023) is a GM build, isn't it ?

So, If this build is a GM, I think the network driver is not finished, that all !

I have full network at home with my iPhone and my HTC and my Dell Streak too, but I lost the network on my Dell Streak frequently...
[Streak 5 General] fards:
And it's still a pos, totally buoyed up by advertising and hype....

I think it's cool that the streak it's under promoted.. makes me laugh when people ask if it's an iPhone, then when I laugh ask is it a HTC then?

Tbh community is what makes a great device, I've said it before and will repeat it again, dell could really do something amazing and really get involved with the community to work together to make it an amazing device..

experts knowledge and volunteer enthusiasm makes a formidable team.
[Streak 5 General] Ruudfood:
I want this device but 2 things are stopping me from getting it:

1) it's only available on O2. I have a contract with Vodafone and after not upgrading for 3 years they'll probably give it to me for free.

2) no Froyo. Ordinarily a single feature (or the lack thereof) is not enough to stop me buying a phone because all phones have a deficiency somewhere. But I'll be using this for business and the tethering capability offered in Froyo is a must.

Once these 2 things change, I'll be jumping on it. Until then I can only wait in hope.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who want this device but won't get it for one (or both) of the reasons above. If things don't change the device will die - even with the great community.
[Streak 5 General] smokku:
1) It's available from Dell directly. Go to Dell online shop.

2) What's wrong with 1.6? I do not find 2.1 any better. I tried it and got back to 1.6. Is it an 'I have longer one' complex?

And there are tons of tethering apps available in Market.
[Streak 5 General] spacecat:
What you are all forgetting is that there are a rash of these type of devices on the way 6,7,10 inch ones as well.soon the streak will be comparatively small and will have the benefit of being not only a very usable tablet but a phone also.personally I think dell have hit the sweet spot between size and portability perfectly as bigger devices come out more people will be likely to see it in a different light.

LG are bringing out a 7 inch tablet phone!
[Streak 5 General] T_r_i_s:
+1

This was the only reason I bought the Streak, the size was exactly right for me!!
[Streak 5 General] uberamd:
But lets be honest, they got it right. I have used Android since I got my first Developer G1 way back in the day and Copy and Paste is still no good. I can't copy text from the Gmail App, copying text isn't fine tuned at all. I do love the HTC Sense implementation of copy/paste, it seems to be the best implementation of it on Android yet but it could use a LOT of tweaking. This is the general feeling I get when reading Android sites and the /r/Android subreddit.
[Streak 5 General] HansTWN:
Actually, the version that the old Windows Mobile had since the beginning is the easiest and most intuitive. The problem with the Android one is more a problem of capacitive screens than anything else. With resistive screens and a pen it would be very good.
[Streak 5 General] Ruudfood:
You didn't consider my post did you? Especially regarding my first point!
[Streak 5 General] smokku:
Your first point is completely bogus.

It's available not only from O2 - this is where you are wrong.
[Streak 5 General] Ruudfood:
Dell sell it sim-free but locked to O2! Yes, I could buy it from Dell but 1) it would be locked to O2 (in case you didn't understand that 1st time round!) and 2) it would cost me more.
[Streak 5 General] smokku:
Oh. I'm glad that my UK Streak bought from Dell does not read this.

It may stopped working on Polish Plus network and Spanish Vodafone if it knew that it is locked to O2. :D
[Streak 5 General] Keethos:
Just to reiterate smokku's point, unit brought direct from dell are sim free but not locked to O2 but in fact are unlocked for any network.

Plus, I'm sure there are tethering apps out there that work with andoird 1.6.
[Streak 5 General] mancuk29:
It's unlocked from dell says UNLOCKED / UNBRANDED

It's currently at around £450
[Streak 5 General] Ruudfood:
Nonetheless, it'll still be more expensive for me if I buy it from Dell.
[Streak 5 General] smokku:
Doh.

It's either you pay everything upfront, or let the operator credit you a part of the price and take it back in bills.

I don't talk that much, so for me it's effectively cheaper to buy a phone at store, than go for the illusion of cheaper phone at the operator.
[Streak 5 General] Ruudfood:
I've done the calculations and, for me, this is cheaper from the operator.
[Streak 5 General] smokku:
Good. So why exactly are you complaining that it's available from O2?
[Streak 5 General] Ruudfood:
:confused:

I'm complaining that it's ONLY available from O2 and NOT available from Vodafone. My current operator is Vodafone and, as I'm due an upgrade, they'll give me the phone for free!
[Streak 5 General] flumps:
i paid £312 for my streak. brought it through company account, minus vat/postage + bulk order discount with standard supplies
[Streak 5 General] xilpaxim:
Dell announce a week or so ago that they will be selling them through Best Buy here in the US. Though I think I'm just going to buy it before then. Probably later today. Just trying to unhinge my wallet to drop the $300.
[Streak 5 General] MN_Evolution:
Waiting for this as well. I want to get it from Best Buy so i can get their 2-year warranty on it instead of paying $5/month for insurance through AT&T. Which doesn't matter much as AT&T doesn't carry it in store anyway.
[Streak 5 General] Dogmann:
Hi Ruudfood

I have to say your post really did make me laugh i mean really not every device is sold by every Network and never will be either this is just a fact of life. Now obviously 02 offered Dell something they liked or wanted to get it as an exclusive with the UK Networks and it doesn't look like that is going to change so if you want a free phone from VodaFone its not going to be a Streak is it? But nothings stopping you from getting the best free phone you can from VodaFone and then selling it and buying an unlocked Streak who knows you may even make some money in the process to.

Now its this bit of your post that really made me laugh as because of your two conditions you think it will result in

"If things don't change the device will die - even with the great community."

Really so just because VodaFone aren't selling it and your not getting one we are all doomed to a failed product are we? ROFLMAO.

Please explain just how and why that is then as i really want to know.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fonix232:
On Symbian I could add all separate WiFi hotspots, routers, etc, to a big list of "Connection Points", and configure them separately. However, looks like there is no option for this on Android. Did I miss something or I really can't set up different proxy/static IP for different hotspots? I would need this feature really bad, as my school router uses a set of settings with the proxy, the home connection needs static IP (what of course does not works with the school system) and for open networks I need clean settings.

So, is there any apps or setting options to have separate set-ups for separate hotspots?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fonix232:
No idea, anyone?

And if yo want your own notifications for ex. sms/email, make a folder in memory and call it "notifications" and put you mp3 tones in that folder they will appear in the settings
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daClaus:
actually, the folder stucture on your internal memory is like this:

system/media/audio/ringtones

/alarms

/notifications

This way the sounds can be selected in the ringtones menu and don't show up in the media player.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nalinbhatt:
Thanks a loooooot for this
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omaga:
To get acsess to "system" you must be rooted? because in not rooted phone you cant find this folders, or do I just make the folders in internal memory?

Edit: The phone must be rooted for this. I tried to make this folders in internal memory and the mp3.s dissapeard when u delete this tones in media player. Remember that every one dont have their phones rooted :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daClaus:
What do you mean with

?

You don't need access to the system folder on the internal memory, you just add these folders to your internal mass memory (the 6GB partition aka sdcard).

Iirc your phone does not have to be rooted.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c3p9:
Hello everyone, I just tried to add a .mp3 file to system/media/audio/ringtones but it didn't show up as a ringtone option under settings.

I used Ringdroid myself, it allows you to even select a specific portion of a track to use in notifications\ringtones etc... Pretty good for a free app.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unrafa:
The only real and best way to use custom ringtones/alarms/notifications is to move them to internal memory in /system/media/* to have them always available, and its also faster.

and you need root for that.

If you store them on sdcard, when phone rings it will be slower doing it, and if the phone just booted up; sdcard is not ready yet, you wont hear startup sound. If you have sdcard mounted, all the sounds alarms notifications saved in sdcard WONT PLAY until you unmount the sdcard.

Yes Android is very LAME.

For some reason recently my Vibrant gets stuck with the sync symbol on (white circle with two circular arrows). Sometimes it stops my text messages from sending or receiving, today texts are working (for now).

The symbol is the usual one that comes up when Gmail is syncing, but mine has been staying on for hours at a time and I believe interrupting on normal phone functions, anyone have any idea what it means and why?

Samsung Vibrant rooted with a few bloatware removed (a week before this issue started) Nandriod backup and a few irrelevant apps.

Whats going on here???

Go to sync settings, click on your google account, uncheck things you don't want to sync.

Sigh another thing I have to give up on the Vibrant vs my old slow MyTouch 3g

This thing also eats the crap out of my battery, I get 12-16hrs of battery life depending on use, with this sync on I get less than 8hours.

How to remove: Delete it...it's on your SDCard, so as long as you don't run it you should be fine...

Alot of the times people use UPX to compact the size of their program/exe, and that is a commonly used compression method people use for viruses, so it can be redflagged by A/V programs.

My advice, if you don't want to get rid of it, upload it to totalvirus.com and check the results...
