If it random reboot successfully it is still not a big issue. Mine was an auto shutdown and cannot power back on. Have to pull out battery. This is no good as one doesn't look at the phone everytime. Didn't realized until got a sounding from my wife twice quering me why I switch off the phone when I was out of the house ??? - how to explain to her ?

But this issue I noted seems to affect earlier rom versions too but I never faced it till 1.7.0

hi guys .. need help here...why i can't download any apps from (www.androidzoom.com) & others.. when i try to download... it will be direct to android market apps..(n result no matches?)...

thanks..newbie here..

some apps can't get from market. it's not available in malaysia.
depends on which apps u wana download.

tq bro.. what apps used for download movie?..

Those apps which you cannot download from the free market can be downloaded from the paid market. There are also many free apps in the paid market. To access paid market:

1. Root your phone
2. Download from market MarketEnabler or MarketAccess
3. Launch the app that you hve downloded
4. First tab in app : backup your telco settings
5. Next Tab - select telco to simulate - just choose TMO USA. MarketAccess - just tap on it to execute. For MarketEnabler, hold down your choice you see popup windows - select fake provider
6. Launch Market - you will now have access to paid apps market

If you wish to buy apps - you need to setup a google checkout account first :

First, you need a GMail account. If you don't have, just register one at www.gmail.com.
- Browse to Google Checkout : https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogi...<mpl=default
- Sign in using your gmail account and you will be guided accordingly to setup a payment system using your credit card

If you are referring to full length movies - my advise use computer download is better and faster. I find not practical using a phone as not only it takes longer , battery usage will just shootup. Just copy the downloaded movie file to the sd card

tq benny .. really help !

Want to ask. What you people talk about 1.5 , 1.7?

Now new set come with 2.2 version of android.

Random reboot doesn't turn back on the phone . . . Damm annoying . Only the auto reboot when I turn on gps do so . I read somewhere streak 5 , version 2 is on the way , not sure how true and no , it's not streak 7

1.5 and 1.7 is custom rom version.. not official 1..

Already 4 days on baseband 322 and 1.5.1 - extremely happy with it. Never face previous issues of Dell suddenly switch off or sudden resets . If there were sudden resets possibly I am not aware of. I have been using the Streak for the past 4 days fully just to assess the combination of 322 with 1.5.1. Before that it was neglected, rarely used after I bought the Galaxy Tab

Bro , u upgraded to 322 by flashing the baseband or the full rom ? If u did by flashing just the baseband , share link pls . Tq

Refer post 1163 on how to do it
I have to reflash the latest HK rom as it comes with 322 bband - not sure by now whether there is just the baseband link

Hey guys
i am going to get myself a new phone but only with 4 inch or higher screen.
I am interested with dell streak even tho most of the specs are outdated. but still im thinking of getting this phone if i got positive review. i mean how you guys use it here, is it compatible with data plan. how to claim for warranty just in case my phone wont boot. and any other i need to know a about dell streak

THANKS A LOT

Hi there,

Yeap, current unlocked version of Dell Streak is compatible with our local data plan and you can use it right away. If you are buying from me, the warranty is from Dell US and have to send there. My last experience, you will get a new replacement instead of waiting for repair. But the downside is, the cost of shipping there is RM100 and I'll bear the shipping back to Malaysia. The expected turnaround time is 3-4 weeks.

Thanks

First of all the phone is not outdated compared to present range. Do not compare it with all the new offerings coming out over the next 2 months. Than all the present smartphones are outdated too

You can just go to any of the smartphone threads in here - there are praises and unhappiness. Tell us what you want top do with it ; then we can better advise you whether this is suitable for your needs. The word is NEEDS not wants

There is still no warranty but being DELL, you can registered for warranty at Dell Msia - the post to do this is in the early pages of this thread. I'll not encourage you to consider this if you are concerned about warranty. Those of us here who uses this phone knows warranty is a risk we have to take upon ourselves to handle. You can purchase from Spore as it is officially available there. If you wish to purchase from any of the seller here at forum lowyat , ask them how they can assit you on warranty claims. There are 2 types of sellers - will assist to help you to claim and the other is just sell/forget u guys

I do not know how experienced you are as an Android or smartphone user - but just let me give you my 2 sen opinion of the Dell Streak based soley on my NEEDS not anyone else needs after having use a variety of smartphones. Most are mine , others are my children. I rate a 10 for BEST while obviously a 1 for hopelessly useless

Google Nexus One : 10
HTC HD2 @ Android : depend on roms 8 - 9
Galaxy S : 5
Galaxy Tab : 9
Dell Streak : 8.5
HTC Desire : 9.5
iPhone 4 : 6
iPhone 3G & 3GS : 5
Nokia E71 : 8

sorry wrong tengok

Yup , saw it but kinda reluctant to flash to official n reflash just for a baseband . Tx for the info .

Can be use as modem or not? Found one seller here selling Dell Streak 8GB for RM1899 while 16GB is RM1999
so confusing.

Added on February 21, 2011, 3:34 pmYou are right, ive been using most of my phone and not claiming any warranty at all. and specs its all just my satisfactions.
8.9/10 is not bad at all compared to galaxy s and iphone(which not my taste) Actually its my first time to try android phone. Ive been using symbian, windows and bb for quite long enough. and my first android im thinking of is streak.
Can it become a modem? Lagging or not?

yupe...tethering and mobile hotspot are feasible.

my opinion is, response is of course not as smooth as iphone / ipad. But you won't really feel it unless u compare it next to each other. The speed is always there, with the 1GHz processor i think it's more than enough. iOS devices are still the best in terms of responsiveness, but for the advantage and "completeness" it has over iOS, more than worth it.

i agree with Benny, depends on your need, not wants. If u need >2 multi-touch, go for iPad. Dell Streak support only 2 touches. Also, if you use it to play drum (example: Musical Lite), there's a lag in response. U can't play like a pro drummer

Yes. Thats the answer i want to hear
But still im confused with the price?and isit going to be lower next month?
