Weatherbug takes forever to load and loop radar. Radar now works really good but on the streak its really small. So I'm looking for something like radar now that is full screen.

Here we go again in the north east with another big snow storm. Sure would be nice to check radar updates while out there plowing the highways with a better radar app. I found redsky weather but its very limited and loads a little slow. Still looking for something like radar now but big enough that I can actually see detail in full screen

If your s ay ing that the app appears too small on your streak(the top left coner and doesn't extend the full length) it's because the applicagion was made for a different dpi. Changing your dpi will correct thos. Or you can messagw the developer to correct this as alot of apps don't utilize the fukl screen of our streak.

Thats exactly what im saying. I have emailed the developer but there has got to be some others like it out there. Its the best working radar app i have found, pertaining to load time and details it displays, its just the size needs to be fixed
I have the same issue with "Radar Now". It won't scale to the screen size.
Perhaps if everyone emailed the developer, he could update it.
I'm sure he has a small screen, and sized it accordingly.
weatherbug takes a bit to load if you turn off the auto update feature, but if you give it a minute to load, it is fine.

I have weather bug set to auto update every half hour and it still takes a while for it to load the animated radar.
I emailed the developed of radar now and he sent back a reply saying he doesn't have a test device.

Just found rainy days in the market. Awesome radar only app. Its looking good now, but will be able to judge it better when out in a storm plowing and checking radar on data rather than wifi

Any one else got unlocking the front screen issues. I can see it bit can I slide it........eventually it works but its a pain in the a$$.
I think I'll go back to the beta, it seems to work better.
Dell! Why are you stuffing up such an easy process. Give us stock android and go back to making computers! software is not your game!

Look for the user "knobs" on this forum has a program called "menu unlock" it requires root, but it allows using the menu key to unlock the phone like in the 1.6 builds, works great if my slide to unlock gets flakey, i just hit the menu button.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
thanks for the reply. The slide problem is annoying.
Has any one else had the same problem? The beta build had no problems, but the past 2 outputs have been rubbish.
I'll give the menu button fix ago

YES! I hate this unlock/lock screen in 2.1. I am always having a hard time getting it to work on the first try. The worst though is when I have to answer a call. It sometimes takes 4 or 5 swipes at it. My wife thought I was ignoring her call at the mall the other day because I could not get the thing to answer.
I'm the same, its gets so bad that I just give up and reboot.....gr rrrr

Since upgrading to 2.1 all I have been rocking is the Nexus live wallpaper. I have tried plenty others, but they either dont play well with orientation switching in ADW or they seriously eat up battery power. In fact, most wallpapers that I have downloaded tend to get my Streak a little warm just from sitting at the home screen for a minute or two.
So for those rocking 2.1, what live wallpapers have you found to work great?

I just use the nexus wall paper, there are a couple others i use galactic core recommended from another thread i think along with silhouette
Both really nice, and not heavy on the battery at all
Oh and flying toasters is a good one too, not sure abt the battery useage on that one tho
City at Night is amazing on the Dell Streak...
I also use the Thunderstorm live wallpaper but it seems pixelated... but not too bad
Try the Droid X ADW theme. Looks great on Streak!

I would love to see That sexy UI of Honeycomb on my Steak 5inch. Anyone think Dell or Someone will Be able to get it working on Our Streaks? I mean it is a Tablet lol!
I wudnt be counting on dell to do it...they launched their new tablet with 2.2, not even 2.3...honeycomb seems far far away..
I'd like to see the email app migrated over - unsure about the rest to be honest.

I wasn't blown away by the 3.0 demo.
As long as my device is snappy and has ability to run the latests apps... I'm pleased.
Hopefully people will financially support DJ_Steve, and he'll keep the goodies coming.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
ya Hopefully steve can at least give us the UI look cause it is for sure like or dislike but i really like the simple look of it and would love to at least see a ROM with Honeycomb look.
I also want one....

Honeycombs and Steak? Is this a tech forum or an online grocer?
I personally like the galaxy tab email app. I have it on my captivate right now, can't wait to see how it is on my streak when I get it next week

The Streak 5 hasn't got the screen size to fully utilise the OS especially the all new browser with it's built in widgets.

Android 3.0 is going to be available for all android devices, it's just up to the manufacturer to accommodate the new UI and features to the screen size. I think the Streak would be a great candidate for some UI improvements, 2.2 doesn't do it justice, even with non-stock launchers.
+1 for me.
Love to see honeycomb on Dell Streak 5.^^

Steve just posted the email app from the Galaxy Tab for the Streak over at Modaco.
Can you post a link? I've searched but can't seem to find it.

+1 for HoneyComb Streak 5
Honeycomb would be amazing on the streak

i love the UI so much it looks cleaner then Regular Android, even the ones like Sense and Stage. Its just my opinion but i like how everything is professional with the black and greys
As long as any new firmware is snappy as 2.2, supports all the apps, I don't care what version it is.
+1
I'm just about to pull the trigger on purchasing a Dell Streak 5 and one of the major deciding factors is that it will be upgradeable to honeycomb.
... through dell or through xda... I don't care how I just want my device to be upgradeable.
I am having big problems keeping the clock on my phone accurate. If I set it manually it's usually 20 minutes fast by the next morning. If I use network time it doesn't change.
Running gingerstreak 2.4. Any thoughts anyone??

I could have sworn that was a known bug and even listed as a known issue on the original release page for GS 2.4?
Also, you say that it's fine with network time (incidentally I'm also running GS 2.4 with network time enabled and have no time issues) then why not just keep it on network time?
When ever I try to do the camera demo on my phone it say no video found.
Why oh why did HTC make the option to watch the demo but not make a video?
By the way, the way you find the demo option. Is:
Go to camera, then hit menu. Scroll down to the bottom and hit tutorial, then click demo on bottom right side of screen.

I watched this video from my camera the first day I got the phone in November, 2011. I tried today and it is gone. Strange!
do you guys think that on the ICS update they are gonna get away with the amazing camera we have? just wondering man, when i got the g2x, and then it was updated to gingerbread they took off the nice camera 1080p recording to vanilla gingerbread camera 720p recording,
idk this just got me confuse, oh and by the way if you search on youtube tmobile that video will come up, idk now i havent tried
Checked it out 2 months ago or whenever I opened the box, it wasn't available.
It felt 'creepy' because it didn't seem right that a link from HTC placed on a $600.00 phone to YouTube was gone.
Things like that don't just happen.
The more I think about it, the Amaze is the twilight zone of phones right now, I really love the twilight zone.
"Twilight Zone" theme song is now in your head.
you're welcome.
