[Streak 5 General] mormegil83:
Damn! I much more likely to believe your guy than the three i spoke with... I guess it is same ol' story then... just slightly faster updates... that also explains why tethering is "free" With ATT 2GB data cap there is no reason to charge us for tether. We will just continually get hit with overage charges! So the only advantage for paying the xtra $30 is slightly faster updates -probably same updates the Euro version gets- and no ATT bloatware. BOOO!!!
[Streak 5 General] hpacura:
So the "Unlocked" by Dell's definition is actually unlocking the software features only ........ still so confused .... come on Dell let's say something to clear up our minds :(:(:(

http://www.engadget.com/2010/11/23/dell-us-now-offering-streak-unlocked-with-froyo-in-cherry-red/
[Streak 5 General] mormegil83:
Basicly the unlock allows you to use the phone on any GSM network but the hardware only supports 3G frequencies that are used by ATT and Europe and i guess Canada Rogers (and Bell?). Also no carrier bloatware and faster updates because it doesn't need approved by the carrier. The Froyo tether app is also included free of monthly charge, however, ATT will bill you for your data overages (max plan is 2GB, no unlimited plan).
[Streak 5 General] Lord60:
dude...

unlocked means that the phone is not locked to a specific carrier (i.e. ATT only) and with any other sim, can work on alternate networks (e.g. Tmobile, Simple)

If you unlock and go to say, Tmobile, you will NOT get 3g speeds even if you are able to connect. You will get Edge speeds (basically 2g), and this is due to the fact that Tmo's and ATT's 3g networks are on different frequencies. I think the specific frequency we're talking about is 1700. Unless you have a streak with a radio in it that includes the 1700 frequency, you will not achieve 3g speeds. Period. End. Tmo has no plans to add this frequency, and Dell has no plans to add this type of radio to the streak. Unless any of that changes, like me, you will be on Edge network for data.

The Dell agent that told whomever (you maybe) that the streak will work on the 3g network for Tmobile was only partially correct. Unlocked will give access to the data network, but NOT the 3G network. Edge only.

Unlocked is not to be confused with rooted. Rooted gives you root, or administrative, access to the phones software... the SYSTEM software, not just apps that you can install at will from the market.

Hope this clears some confusion up for you.
[Streak 5 General] mormegil83:
Lord60:

So you are using the Streak on TMo with Edge speeds only? How is it? Can you play games like Pocket Legends or use Youtube HQ?

What speeds does speedtest.net register?

Thanks!
[Streak 5 General] *Omnipresent*:
Plain ole gsm speed is 2g. Tmobile/Att edge is 2.5g That said, it aint that bad if you have good signal strength and have a little patience.
[Streak 5 General] mormegil83:
do you know if Maps works or do you need 3G?
[Streak 5 General] *Omnipresent*:
Maps works and im on tmobile edge.
[Streak 5 General] da_jojo:
nothing wrong with the hardware. it supports even hspda .

it is just the radiorom missing the correct files and a setting in the phonedriver (engineermode has this settings but dont work if it dont have the correct radiorom)

unlocked unbranded dell does connect to 3g or umts , i did however not find any clue how to enable hspda .
[Streak 5 General] ajftl:
its BAD period... edge crap.. thats like going back to 1998
[Streak 5 General] *Omnipresent*:
True, but its better than nothing. it'll do in a pinch. I use it to post in the forums, check email, sports scores, weather, traffic, and gps when im away from wifi.
[Streak 5 General] bradass420:
unlocked dell streak no t mobile 3g

talked to sales rep, they said it would work with tmobile 3g. then called dell mobile they said its sim locked to att. Dell reps are the least informed people ever. bottom line is this until dell streak supports 1700mhz it will never work with tmobile 3g. any one who is thinking of paying 500+ dollars for a phone that will only work on edge needs to look for another phone.
[Streak 5 General] mormegil83:
So if it's not a hardware issue WHY HASN 'T SOMEONE HACKED THE TMo 3G FREQUENCIES ON THIS THING!? there are Tmo 3g beta units out there someone on here shoulda been able to do it...
[Streak 5 General] *Omnipresent*:
You mean like the folks who paid that and more, for the iphone when it first came out on att edge? Edge works just fine for me. Lmao at Mr. 1 post, lord of phones. You probably dont even own a streak, or any smartphone for that matter. Dont hate the playa bradley, hate the game:p
[Streak 5 General] Lord60:
Yes I use it on Tmo Edge. It's ok. That's all I can say about it. As for Youtube and online games, never tried it. not really my thing. Just ran speedtest and it shows: 0.17 Mbps down, 0.11 Mbps up. Very slow. Yeah, I know. I got the phone because I like the tablet thing, and most of my Inet is done via Wifi anyway.
[Streak 5 General] gilrad:
Funny, that's the kind of results I get on Softbank's 3g in Tokyo. I hate my carrier.
[Streak 5 General] Bizzach:
LOL you guys are funny. I'm gone from the forum for one day and out come all the haters.

Everything works just fine on the phone. The biggest difference between EDGE and 3G: having to wait maybe 20-30 seconds for a YouTube vid to load before it plays. Web browsing, Maps, and everything else works just fine.

I've said this before.... using Wi-Fi and EDGE is actually GREAT for battery life. Much better than 3G. Wi-Fi is pretty much everywhere I am. :)

And to the guy with one post who knows better than me how *I* should purchase phones.... go troll somewhere else. K thx!
[Streak 5 General] markula:
Hello i was wondering when you buy a Dell Streak does it come with AT&T printed on the phone if you buy the AT&T Version? And the beta streak has no no carrier logo on the phone right?

Because i got one from ebay that has no AT&T Branded on the phone.

It was received from Dell at an executive IT conference with a 30 day trial on AT&T's network & Unlocked By Dell they said if you dont have at&t you can use your t-mobile account also. is this a beta phone? how do you know if you have a beta phone?

thank you

markula
[Streak 5 General] Bizzach:
markula, There's no markings on the Beta units at all. I'm assuming it's the same for the AT&T units, but I don't have one. I've never heard that they have any branding on them.

The only way that I know I have a Beta Streak (other than getting it personally of course lol) is an entry in the build.prop file that I noticed. You can use Root Explorer to check it out.... ro.build.CONFIG_HW_AUSTIN=1

Of course someone could add / change that if they really wanted to. But even after changing the baseband, that's the only thing I've seen that indicates a Beta Streak on my phone.
[Streak 5 General] Kohawk09:
I can confirm - no AT&T markings anywhere to be found. Kinda weird to, my first AT&T phone without one. But i got used to it... :p

Really, AT&T didn't leave their mark like they did with other phones IMO. Other than their market page and not being able to install non market apps (which has a quick and easy work around) hard to tell its even an AT&T phone.
[Streak 5 General] Bri81:
I'm not sure if this is OT, but is there a way to unlock the Streak with an unlock code and without a SIM from a different carrier?

I plan to travel, but I don't have the new SIM yet, and I want to make sure the code is good.

Thanks in advance.
[Streak 5 General] mormegil83:
you should be able to simply call att and request it. there are many threads on this forum for more detail if you look a little ;)
[Streak 5 General] Bri81:
Yes. I've got the code already, however no SIM.

I was curious as to unlocking the phone without a different carrier's SIM.
[Streak 5 General] scaronscar:
no you need the sim from another carrier it brings up a promote screen that lets you put in the code
[Streak 5 General] dellwole:
I just made the dumb mistake of assuming this had tmobile's 3G bands cos it works in US and bought a att locked unit on ebay. I have always known different band frequencies is only as a result of software settings in engineering mode cos I have gotten to it on a prev smartphone I owned, but didn't know how to enable other bands. I am not a techy but believe its all about adding the file with other bands in engineering settings to include new bands. I believe specifically it can be taken from full os files developed for phones with whatever band you want. What I am saying specifically using streak as an example would be using the andriod 2.2 os on a phone with similar specs as the streak with 1700 band. U see my theory is the files contained in the os should have a "thin" skeletal file structure of what ever phone they are made for which will include files to enable said band frequencies to work on the phone (which is why phone os need to be customized for different phones and can't just be dumped).

Even if it isn't changed through the os then I believe it can still be done directly through the phone: by adding whatever file creates this option to the engineer option, though probably by hooking up phone to computer and doing so through software specifically for this. I think even though OS is what runs the phone, there is still a "skeletal" program first placed on the phone (kinda like dos and windows on a pc) with the band setting fully customizable here.

As you can probably all tell I am throwing out random thoughts so maybe not perfectly cohesive but hopefully this will generate enough interest in the forum so someone with expertise can help us fix this.
[Wildfire General] anuragkanase:
Hello mate,

I am trying to boot Debian on WF.

My phone has been rooted by now, and i need help regarding mounting the partitioned fs.

Here's what i have on my SD:

1) 950MB ->Fat32.

2) 750MB -> Ext3

3) 150 -> Swap.

Now linux requires a partition to be ext formatted, which i have done by now. But i have no idea on how to mount the ext3 fs on htc wf.

I tried the procedure via recovery mode->partitioning-> mount /sd-ext/ but dint worked.

Would you please tell me how can i mount it by using Ubuntu. I am not a avid windows user and many tutorial relating to apps2sd are based upon windows, which isnt possible for me.

Also, how can i know the directory address of the filesystems i have generated. like, /dev/sd2 etc.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QYV:
Has anyone noticed intermittent interference noise on their SGS internal speakers? It is a high-freq buzz that lasts less than 10 seconds at a time, but can easily be heard when holding the phone close. I hear it sometimes in a call or when transmitting data and it seems like it is coming from the rear speaker.

Edited for clarification: The noise is coming from the phone; specifically the speaker on the back of the phone, not from external speakers.

Has anyone else noticed this kind of noise coming from their SGS?

Chris
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QYV:
No one? I am certain now that the noise is coming from the rear speaker and it is not heard when wifi is on, so it must be interference from the 3g.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QYV:
No one at all?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nwsk:
Yes, it's always been a thing that happens with phones.. I remember with early generations of phones, they'd always cause speakers to make a specific series of beeping noises when someone received an sms.

I think it's caused by using one of the older data connections.. gprs or something maybe. There's nothing that can change this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QYV:
Yes, I recall hearing the buzzing and popping on computer speakers caused by some phones. My question was specifically to do with hearing interference in the rear speaker on the phone itself, do you hear anything like that? I don't actually hear any interference on external speakers.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nwsk:
Oh, you mean the speaker on the actual phone? Umm, nope, it's always been quiet..

Doesn't sound like it should be doing that, if it's been like that since you got it, might want to send it in for a check or something.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QYV:
I just checked a friends phone at it does the same thing. The best way to check is to start an app that transmits continuous data on 3g, like speed test. And when its running put the rear speaker close to your ear. You can also hear it out of the front earpiece in a quiet room. These are canadian gt9000m's.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QYV:
Edited original post for clarification.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sinsst:
Yeah, i noticed that aswell, usually when i make calls or take calls, for like 10 seconds, working on normal GT-I9000 here.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QYV:
I'm wondering if this is a normal occurence, maybe they couldn't get enough shielding on that rear speaker.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QYV:
Can anyone else verify that they can or cannot hear the buzzing? I am considering getting samsung warranty to look at it, but only if it's not a common phenomenon. Would hate to send it in and have or come back the same.

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QYV:
Just an update, my phone was replaced due to the internal sd card issue and the new phone is exhibiting the same buzzing sound. Though the sound does seem somewhat quieter on this new phone. Unless I am extremely unlucky, it seems that the noise is normal for the phone but most people just don't notice it.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plisking:
yes,i can hear it clearly...someone sad it named TDD noise which was caused by the GSM signal...if u use 3G,u may not hear it any more...

A few people in china found this problem too. They sad only the SGS produced in december had this problem...but it seems that u posted the thread in november....
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QYV:
re: december.

I have had 4 sgs's now (3 returns) that have had the noise, going back to september 2010.

re: gsm

My network here is 3g only, don't use gsm at all.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] velocity7:
I also get the same thing with my phone as well, despite factory resets or exchanges thus far. Is this a normal problem?

So far, the noise disappears if you disable 3G in some way, either via turning off data or using Wi-Fi. I'm in Canada, where signals exist on 850 MHz and 1900 MHz. My phone was also purchased in November, and the replacement was sometime in early December.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bricklin:
My phone T959 .the brother of i9000, have the same problem...I have used HTC Universal ,and nokia 5230. Both are fine, no TDD noise at all..

Samsung have a long way to go...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vanadragos:
i have it too (and tough it was faulty) and check out a friend's phone today and he has it too, didn't even know it and had the phone for a few months now. i guess we're just over demanding :))
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smiles.smiley:
HAHAHA! Nah, it's just some Solar Activities causing communication flaws lately. It's near to 2012 anyway :p. Sorry, couldn't resist it either.

Anyway, I've never noticed about the noise. Been using this phone for almost a year? If its only with SGS, and all experiencing this are buying them at a relatively similar time, it would probably be a "batch issue".

Considering T959 experiencing the same issue, then maybe there's something wrong with how Samsung manufacture their phones. But somehow, there are lucky people who get good ones. Or most likely, this issue is too mild and there is actually nothing wrong with it. Nothing is perfect my dear friends :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Putzschwamm:
I'm actually experiencing the same buzzing noise on my galaxy s plus.

It's my rear speaker making that white noise. but only when i run an app that has sound (any game with sound) and when i then mute the media volume.

Sometimes you can also hear some buzzing sound like you can hear the cpu load or network activity which sounds like the noise you hear when your mobile lies next to your hi-fi system and you get a message or a call.

I think this problem just appeared today and i am thinking about bringing my phone back to the shop to let them send it in for warranty service.... :(

Hi there,

Little problem with my poor HD2 getting stuck on boot!

The phone randomly crashed in android (black screen) as it has done before so I reset the phone to find it now won't boot into WM. I have hard reset the phone and it boots up to the "preparing your phone for first use...." screen, loading bar moves to the end and that's it. No further will it go!

I've flashed a few different rom's and task29'd it but still gets stuck in the same place. No warranty on it, so can't take it back to my provider doh!

I'm not holding my breath on this one, tried everything I can find / think of.
