[Streak 5 General] Poughkeepsie125:
I can't help you with #1 or #2 - I simply don't know the answers. (I've never used a Nexus One.)

Strictly considering it as a phone, it's a big hunk of glass and a little unwieldy to use. The ergonomics are clunky (try holding a PopTart up to your ear) and the proximity sensor on mine is hit or miss. (e.g. when I take the phone off of my ear to delete a voice mail, the screen often stays dark.)

Whatever issues I have with it as a phone are more than made up for everywhere else. The 5" screen is the perfect portable, pocketable tablet size. Beautiful screen, easy to be productive on in terms of email, reviewing documents, etc. It's replaced my Tab as my portable/couch-surfing tablet and my Garmin as an in-car GPS - I think it's as versatile a gadget as I've ever had.

As for rooting the Streak, I guess it depends on what you'd like to do with it. I rooted mine, but just to enable tethering.
[Streak 5 General] RussianSolja:
Just asking a question, no meed to be MOD EDIT about it.
[Streak 5 General] RussianSolja:
Just one of the few answers that will be posted on here that I was looking for. Thank you. :)
[Streak 5 General] RussianSolja:
Are you with at&t? If so what bandwidth limit does at&t cap you at? I know T-Mobile caps you at 5GB.
[Streak 5 General] stoney73:
Tbh. I agreed with Marvin's post. Google is your friend. Indeed, the search function is an even better friend.

Edit: once you've used the streak, you'll wonder how you ever managed without it.
[Streak 5 General] Poughkeepsie125:
I have an unlocked version, but I use it on AT&T - I have the unlimited data plan they used to sell with the iPhone.

I'm not completely current with their data plans, but I think they are relatively reasonable.
[Streak 5 General] slaydog:
The streak is great, i almost don't use my netbook anymore. The camera is not great, and the speaker is not great for media (but wait till you see the video). Also, I'm getting the impression that its pretty delicate, so don't drop it!

Its very thin and about the size of your pocket, you you almost don't know its in there.

Of course you will want to root it, why not? You will need to upgrade the ROM if it comes with 1.6, which is just horrible. I'm using DJ_Steve's custom ROM, almost as much of an upgrade as coming from 1.6. Just fantastic...
[Streak 5 General] Marcin_GUmeR:
I second that one. I didn't own Nexus One, but during last two years I used G1, iPhone, n900 and now Dell Streak. When I look at G1 it just looks so tiny now. Dell Streak definitely catches attention :)

I cant say much about phone function, I just don't use phone any more, but as all-around internet device I'm very happy with it. For browsing net, news, IM, apps large screen does big difference in my opinion, and you can still fit it into jeans pocket, if you don't have these tiny-tiny pockets.

I personally don't see any major drawbacks of this device. Maybe docking station is little expensive.
[Streak 5 General] thewizzle20glove2:
I have both and use them both regularly. Mostly I use the nexus for when I need something great and small. I use he Streak for mostly everything else. I have yet to be throttled by att and have had some huge months. I use them both as the internet connection for my OQO model 02 at work so I can complete my college assignments. If you have any questions pertaining to either or both just pm me and I will get you what I can. Its worth it, I even got my wife the white one from best buy. I think it will be able to handle honeycomb but can't be sure. Also it will be weather or not someone is willing to make a rom.
[Streak 5 General] Techvir:
1. Used both and like streak better. faster and love the screen estate

2.I think so , but wouldnt want to go there until it offers something that is substantially bigger. Going from 1.6 to 2.2 was huge and was needed . However from 2.2 to 3. dont know

3.Very little support from developers. Except for steve( and fards) and his company , none...

I wish more developers come here( however must add that steve and fards is doing a great job. this is a great device.

4.Absolutely.. any android device for that matter.

Must add that : This device is larger than a normal smartphone and u will love it if u have a big hand... I have had many of my friends who had difficulty with size.
[Streak 5 General] p00kienrayray:
I had a rooted nexus one on tmo. The streak offers practically everything the n1 does. The only benefits n1 has over streak that is worth mentioning is more baked roms, and it gets first dibs on updates.

Btw att cap is 2gb. Its a joke if youre a heavy user or plan on tethering.
[Streak 5 General] gstyle40:
I've owned both, nexus was fun until it decided to blow up on a brotha. The streak is everything one would ever ask for in a phone. And the wow factor is insane. Most people don't believe its a phone until u prove it lol. The only problems for me are the lack of development from attention and a few hardware incapatabilities with a few apps(chase). So of course u must root and Dj steve and creek are amazing. Been running 1.6.1 since release with no problems. LOVE THIS PHONE!!!
[Streak 5 General] gstyle40:
I have unlimited as most people who have owned smartphones n the past should also have. I heard somewhere that attention doesn't offer unlimited anymore, if that's true then that's just wrong. No way u can truly get the most out of these type phones if u don't have unlimited data.
[Streak 5 General] p00kienrayray:
Yes, att does NOT offer unlimited data anymore. Honestly tho, I had unlimited data on tmo, att, and sprint and Im a pretty heavy user, but I dont think I ever broke the 2gb point (came close to it). However I SHOULD add that I dont really youtube or pandora on the go, and also im straight wifi as soon as I get home from school or work.

I was worried when I jumped back to att with the cap, but when I started monitoring my usages, most of em were at home so I dont worry anymore. But if youre the type that has to stream music or movies regularly on the go, or dont have wifi access, then stay away from these data cap plans.
[Streak 5 General] RussianSolja:
I've hit my 5GB limit last month with T-Mobile and fear that 2GB might not be enough for me lol. By reading all these posts I see that there are more pros then cons with this device and that more people are happy with it. I called at&t and asked them about getting more then 2GB from them and they told me its going to cost $10 per gigabyte a month. Here's my other question. What are your monthly bills looking like? Are you guys paying more then $100 a month with your plans? And which plan is more worth going with? I've been with T-Mobile for 6 years and don't wanna regret switching to at&t.
[Streak 5 General] CGI_Ram:
Can't comment on the Nexus one...

The Streak is an awesome take anywhere device. Its one of a kind right now.
[Streak 5 General] gasolara2002:
If you are switching from T-mobile then you will miss the customer service and the billing with t-mobile is very consistent. I had switch to at&t because the signal with t-mobile was non existent in rural cities and highways in mississippi. I will say i miss my old t-mobile plan. $94 dollars for unlimited everything and that included tax. My bill is like $115 with taxes with AT&T. I say if you are trying to switch to AT&T you must follow my checklist:

1.Bring in your own device so you are not binded to a contract.

2.Browse the ebay or other sites for people trying to transfer their service that have the unlimited data.

3.Make sure you prepare to see a higher bill by budgeting.
[Streak 5 General] RussianSolja:
I just finished placing an order thru dell and bought the unlocked streak that way I can stay with T-Mobile and keep my plan. I also ordered a car dock from them with a car charger that's included with the car dock. The phone also comes stock with 2.2 android OS. How are the car docks? Are they any good?
[Streak 5 General] p00kienrayray:
Idk how the car docks are but anything that can hold the streak is a plus bc its kind of a pain accessing the streak in my car. Like when I wanna use google maps, I have to hold it with 2 hands. My hands are descent sized and I can use it one handed, but it hurts stretching my thumb out that far across the screen.

Anyhow congrats on the streak. You wont regret it as a former n1 owner (that is you dont mind using edge and no 3g).
[Streak 5 General] RussianSolja:
:eek: no 3g? With T-Mobile? Order canceled. :(
[Streak 5 General] gasolara2002:
You might want to get the Dell Venue. The reviews have been good from the european markets. And it has t-mo 3g.
[Streak 5 General] p00kienrayray:
yes the tmo 3g bands are not the same as att. Hence why you can not use any iphones on tmo's 3g.
[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
It's not a car dock, it's a car mount. Here's pics.

It's a nice solid unit.
[Streak 5 General] rptw:
lol somehow i dont think he cares anymore now that he knows he doesnt get 3g with tmo, too bad he thought he would :confused:
[Streak 5 General] RussianSolja:
Ok so I really like the device and I'm a little scared of switching to at&t after being with T-Mobile for six years. I guess sometimes you have to make sacrifices in life. As far as the dell venue goes ain't that a windows device? I'm a die hard android freak. :)
[Streak 5 General] RussianSolja:
Any idea what kinda case is on the phone cause I was looking into the defender.
[Streak 5 General] rptw:
venue pro is wp7 while the venue is android, the pro has a slide out keyboard while the non pro is touch only
[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
The phone fits best into the included bracket with no case. Those pics were taken with a TPU case from eBay and with the Otterbox Impact. (see this) I would not advise using either if you want to quickly mount and un-mount the phone, but they both will fit. The defender will attach directly to the stalk of the car mount. The stalk attachment is the same as on some Bracketron and rocketfish car mounts. There are close ups of the attaching point in the gallery I linked to.
[Streak 5 General] RussianSolja:
I'm such a sucker. I reordered the streak and I'm going to sign up with at&t so I can get 3G. I also ordered the otter box defender case so my baby can have the maximum protection. :) may I get a warm welcoming to the streak? Lol
[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
This Rocketfish mount has almost the same stalk as the Dell car mount. The Defender case should fit on the the stalk - the Dell car mount bracket does. I picked on up at my local Best Buy for $10. I tried the universal mount head and thought that it was awful, but the stalk will fit the Dell mount and it gives my a spare or one to use in my wife's car.

Google shopping results - for rocketfish

Google Results - for Bracketron mounts

If you get a third party stalk you can just order an extra cable from Dell. It's very likely that you have a 12v to USB charger that will work. If not I suggest this one.
[Streak 5 General] RussianSolja:
You were so mean to me before, why help me now?
[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
I wasn't mean - I simply fed you back your own advice (that was in your sig at the time).

Besides - info posted in an open forum helps all who read it.

Hope you enjoy the Streak.
[Streak 5 General] RussianSolja:
Hope your ready cause I'm going to be asking a lot of questions when I get my streak. :)
[Streak 5 General] rptw:
i hope you are ready to search and google lol
[Streak 5 General] RussianSolja:
Lol!! Why search and Google when I have you guys? :p
[Streak 5 General] p00kienrayray:
Hey just a heads up, if u dont mind being on contract, the streak is only $99 @ best buy. Plus they have both the flat black and the pearl white, where as I heard dell only has the black now. However the att locked streaks have not gotten official 2.2 ota yet.
[Streak 5 General] RussianSolja:
That's why I ordered directly from dell and bought the unlocked all black that comes stock with 2.2 froyo. I know I could of saved myself a couple of hundred bucks buying from best buys. I also heard/read that people who buy the streaks from best buys have a lot of issues with the device after rooting it. Also saves me the headache of having to root the device just to update to 2.2 which isn't even an official release even tho I'm going to root my streak anyways when I get it in the mail Wednesday. :) And that's another thing.... I hate being attached to a contract. Feels like I sign my life away to hell for two years and I have to pay to get out. Lol.
[Streak 5 General] gasolara2002:
I see you decided to make the switch. That's good. You will enjoy the HSDPA that the locked streaks are blocked from. I love seeing the "H" symbol on my phone.
[Streak 5 General] rptw:
locked streaks dont get the H symbol? because i got mine from rogers and it should be locked and i get H sometimes
[Streak 5 General] gstyle40:
I

I bought my streak from best buy locked and I'm always on h band
[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
I believe that the icon in the notification bar on Streaks locked to AT&T does not indicate you are using HSPA, but if you use a third party widget you can see when you are connected using HSPA. This is what happened on my Motorola phones that were locked to AT&T.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apcommunicate:
Hello All,

Long time reader, avid searcher, rarely post. I have searched this post and read through about 10 different threads with no solutions working properly on my device.

Here's my issue:

What my phone CAN do:

1. Go into Download mode

2. Go into 2e or 3e recovery

What my phone WONT do:

1. Boot passed "Vibrant" screen after ODIN flash (tried JFD, JI6, KA7)

Errors:

e: can't mount dev block st110

+ DBDATA error

What I've tried:

ODIN flashes

Heimdall

Notes:

I recently had a Voodoo FS installed but disabled it to Kies Mini into KA6 which worked. After trying to ODIN back to JFD for a warranty exchange the problems arose. I dont really get a boot loop, it just trys to boot, gets to the "Vibrant" screen and shuts down.

PLEASE HELP!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inconceeeivable:
Out of curiosity, did you check re-partition when using Odin?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apcommunicate:
No I didn't. I have in the past however checked re-partition with no negative effects through dozens of ODIN's.

FIXED + SOLUTION:

ODIN Eugene's Froyo That Won't Brick

then

ODIN Samsung JFD

No other ODIN will work! This took my phone out for the day and i'm an experienced user. Hopefully this helps anyone else who has the same issue.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcghee1973:
kinda sounds like you disabled the voodoo lagfix but didnt let it convert the filesystem back and reboot....so didnt really get disabled before you tried to ODIN.

Good you got it fixed.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] shaharazi:
Hi all.

first off all great site and forum, it was very hellpfull.

second off all, how so i know that my HD7 is unlocked?

i did with the chev7 but didnt get any message.

there is somewhere in the phone a place that i can see that the phone is unlocked?

thank you all for helping!!:D
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dbs11:
well open chevron again, if it says "unlock" your phone is locked, on the otherhand if it says "relock" it was unlocked!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] kawgirlval69:
or the even easier way ..if it shows relock after you hit unlock...you succeeded...
[Nook Color General] Arbelzapf:
Hello guys,

I have received my NookColor yesterday and have had nothing but trouble with it since.

I can't stand the stock ROM, so I immediately put the customized Nookie Froyo 0.5.9 on it

It randomly reboots (the second time as I'm typing this), does not wake up from sleep every time and most importantly, the touchscreen completely drives me nuts.

It's pretty much exaktly like described here:

"Sometimes the nook will start seeing "phantom touches" or inaccurate touches, or not respond to reasonable touches."

I just didn't expect it to be so painfully annoying. Locking/Unlocking fixes it for a brief moment, but combined with the wake-up bug, this is a very risky way of "solving" the problem and thus, my device is almost completely unusable.

Now if I follow the steps in that guide, dmesg will show me everything but no "Calibration successful"-message.

The last line is

<4>cyttsp:In sys info mode! ttsp_forcecal_store: Forcing TP calibration NOW.

Also, I don't notice any improvement.

What am I doing wrong? If I don't get that damn touchscreen to work properly, I don't even need to begin tackling the other problems :(

Is are there any other tweaks to make the touchscreen better? Haptic Feedback is already turned off
[Nook Color General] sydmusic:
same here!

The bottom 1" of my screen is an unresponsive mess. When I run the recalibration commands from nookdevs I get "cyttsp:In sys info mode!ttsp_forcecal_store: Forcing TP calibration NOW."

But no success message. Any thoughts?
[Nook Color General] sydmusic:
Ah! Good news. The recalibration worked for me on a fresh reboot. I rebooted from adb shell with the reboot command to keep it as clean as possible. Once the nook was booted I ran the calbiration and it worked!

Even better, the bottom 1" of my screen works like a freaking charm now.
[Nook Color General] {Diemex}:
I've got the same problem with the touchscreen.

Mostly it works, but sometimes like this morning:

screen was quite cold,

it did random taps all the time,

tiping stuff, I hardly could unlock the device,

I somehow still managed to switch on adbwireless,

the screen on/off method didn't work either,

but after I recalibrated the screen it worked perfectly again.

The Problem is, I have recalibrated the screen every two days now for the last week,

it always works perfectly after a recalibration, but sadly gets worse with time.

I tried out the different methods listed on the page, the last thing I might still try is recalibrating it after letting it lie outside in the cold.

I'm also worrying, if I take My NC somewhere where there's no Pc with adb in sight, that I can't use my device anymore, when it gets so bad - Is there maybe a way to fix it on the device itself?
[Desire HD Accessories] sandhar13:
I am looking for a good case such as those of Otterbox or Casemate for HTC Desire HD. Are they even available in India? Don't want to order from US/UK.
[Desire HD Accessories] atifhasan86:
you can get the case from ebay, look for cases for HTC HD2, or you can get it from the market, look for the one sony provides with X10, its a good case, i'm using it, fits perfectly, only downside is it has SONY ERICCSON embossed on it. but other than that , its good.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IncredibleNoob:
My battery indicator gets stuck so that it does not show battery drain. :confused:

When I unplug from my AC wall charger in the morning it stays at 100% all day long, unless I reboot my phone or connect to my computer via USB. Rebooting the phone causes it to show a reasonable battery level, but connecting it to computers via USB has the weird effect of making the battery level show a gradual decrease, even though I think it is charging! Connecting it to the wall charger just makes the level go up from wherever it currently is, and does not seem to trigger the reevaluation of current battery level. I tried loading the app "Battery Indicator" and it showed the same results as the stock indicator.

It has been happening for a couple months now, but I'm not sure if it has anything to do with Verizon's Nov OTA update (which I had to do manually because I use PagePlus Cellular, or because I'm rooted, or something). I have tried multiple batteries, and I even tried restoring my phone back to right after the Nov OTA using a Nandroid backup. I was tempted to restore the pre Nov OTA Nandroid bkup, but was scared of bricking my phone.

It's a rooted S-off DINC, software version 3.26.605.1, and I'm just running the stock ROM, Kernel, etc. Nothing fancy here, and the only apps I have that require root are Ti Backup Pro, Root Explorer Pro, and AdFree. My wife has the same phone & setup and does not have the problem.

It's a refubished phone and it came with a Motorola wall charger instead of a DINC charger, as did my wife's.

Any ideas on whether this is a hardware or software issue, and how I can resolve this?

btw, this is an awesome forum/community and I really appreciate all the hard work put in by developers, super users, and other nice people.

I would do part 2 in this guide to get back to comeplete stock, no root.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=786436

Just copy the at PB31IMG to the root of your sd card, boot into bootloader and let it update from there. Then see if the problem still persists, if so, take it back to verizon for a new one.

If the battery starts working normally, then re root it, and lets us know if the problem comes up again after re rooting. (it shouldn't)

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IncredibleNoob:
I went back to complete stock per your instructions, but unfortunately it didn't do the trick.

I have now gone back to my Nandroid backup, and I'm hoping something else comes along because I can't take the phone back to Verizon. I bought it from ebay from a seller that refurbishes them, so I guess I'm stuck with the phone. At least it's not a huge problem.

Thanks for the suggestion and the link. Any other suggestions would still be welcome.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IncredibleNoob:
Thanks for the suggestions. I forgot to mention that I have tried clearing the battery stats thru clockworkmod, but that didn't fix the problem.

I don't have rom manager. I don't know much about it, but do you think that might help, given that going back to stock did'nt work? If so, is it pretty self explanitory (if I download it from the mkt)?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NilsP:
I would just pick an established ROM, do a wipe with recovery and install the ROM.

I highly recommend ROM Manager since it is a one stop way to install the ROM. Just put the ROM on your SD card, start ROM Manager, pick install from SD Card, select the ROM, choose wipe and OK
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
Yeah since you bought it off of ebay you can't take it back. Have you tried a program like battstatt? Install that and see if that will give you the correct percentage. I know it doesn't fix your problem, but if that always says 100% then it isn't a rom problem but a hardware problem i would think.
