All,
I know the Streak 7 will not be a phone unlike the Streak 5 but I was wondering what exactly is missing for phone functionality when combined with a headset?
regs
H.D
No GSM or CDMA radios

Hi I just bought a brand new aws (tmobile band) streak off ebay. I love the phone but was trying to find info about the build and have had no luck. I know the aws streak has been talked about here a lot but, there's not much info on the phone/ builds.
SO:
what is this build and how is it different from other common builds.
Will something like dj steves rom work on this phone
Whats different about the aws phone in general.
I did not put the 2.2 update on the phone I'm guessing the seller did before I bought it. But it is a new phone or at least a very good refurb. all the acc, were wrapped up like stock. screen had the dell screen protector.
Thanks
im not sure of the build since im a streak/android noob too, just got mine a week or so ago
as for an aws version of the streak, i dont think there is such thing is there? i believe 1700=aws and there is no version of the streak with that 3g frequency, so unless you are refering to 2g/gsm having the 1700 frequency then im not sure what you are refering to.

There is a 1700 / 2100 version, and I have it. I get 3g &H on T-Mobile. Search aws streak there is info on them. But they are very rare and hard to find. And I don't think people with them want to part with them.
you must be referring to the beta units then, i think i heard of them because the were doing field testing in some part of the world that had aws as well
Yes, I believe that this is what the phone is, But it was never used, I looked on ebay for a few months until one showed up. I even thought about switching to at&t to get a streak. but I did finally find one and even better it was brand new. I paid a little over 400 but its all the phone I ever wanted. I have had a lot of android phones over the past two years,(hd2 android, x10i, nexus, cliq, mytouch) I have had android from day one with the g1, and have always wanted a bigger screen. And this is the biggest "phone" you can get I dont think I'm going to switch for a long time.
compared to hd2
how was the data connection compared to the hd2?
everything can be viewed in the official web , or search it in the web. it seems few people get to know the answer thoroughly.
good luck
Just a quick thread, i used the Dell Streak Unlocker program after being told by Att and Dell that the phone couldn't be unlocked, and after reading reviews of another program that weren't so kind, so i figured i would try this one. The program worked and i am now using another company's SIM, but i noticed that a few times since i unlocked it yesterday that it is registering "NO SIM" intermittently. So i am wondering is this is something anyone else has noticed after unlocking their Streak or if this is something occurring in Streaks in general?
Got my Streak unlocked by O2 and have never faced any such problem.
To be honest I have used the dell streak unlocker .. and my phone works great on simple mobile. . What it sounds like to me is something hardware.. this brings me back to when my iPhone use to have this problem along with a sidekick 2 I had (yess had an iPhone and sidekick 2 ) any how with the sidekick there was no hope but with the iPhone a new sim did the trick do some more research before getting a new similar or anything

If you don't mind me asking what program did you use. I'm thinking of unlocking from att to go to tmobile. Do you know if all streaks can be unlocked and does it work on tmobiles 3G bands
I was wondering if it might be the SIM, i know ive swapped it to and from so many different phones that i was wondering if its just not making a great connection anymore. Thanks for the quick replies all. Also in regards to the t mobile bands, as far as i know the streak has the 2100 band, but is lacking the 1700 that t mobile also uses, would be a good question for t mobile as to where they default to when it comes to their band.
If the unlocking software referenced here is this one below....

then yes, I did for the first day or so get a NO SIM notice on my Streak, but that since has gone away. I was actually going to post an endorsement for this program before I looked for, and found this one. I had some trouble at the beginning that I sought support out for, and was rather speedily greeted back the proper instruction. I'm a former Rogers customer and have now switched over to Telus for $30 less than Rogers was trying to charge me. Complete success I would say.
I just called AT&T up and got an unlock code (fibbed & said I was traveling out of the country) & took all of 20 minutes with all the being put on hold. The Rep said that I needed to pop in the other company's SIM in order for my Streak to ask for the unlock code. Is there a way I can unlock with my code without having a non-AT&T SIM card? She also gave me the PUK code, so do I need to use both?
The puk code should be specific to the sim card itself(?)
It's for if you lock the card and forget the unlock code or something for it (completely unrelated to unlocking the phone itself)
There might be a "unlock" menu entry under settings -> wireless -> mobile networks
if it isnt there/doesnt work you will need to pop in a foreign sim card (any card that isnt on the locked network)
Just got my Dell Streak 7 today from T-Mobile, bought it with the intention of using my current voice/data SIM to use it as a hotspot while I'm at work. Of course, to my dismay, I found that you can only use a data-only SIM otherwise you'll have no network connection.
So my question is, will rooting it allow a voice/data SIM to be used in it without issue? If this isn't the case, I'll be sending it back. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Is your modem version -US or -AWS?
There IS T-Mobile AWS version and it sounds like exactly what you received. Also, check the service tag (under battery) on Dell's website and it should tell you exactly what you have.
If a DS5 is revived via JTAG, it is not possible anymore to use it as a phone.
Is this GSM only or 3G too, so mobile Internet is only via WLAN then?
No SIM-card related services.
To make it abundantly clear, when a Streak is JTAGged, not only can the Streak no longer be used for making calls of any kind (even 911 here in the US) but cellular data as well is rendered non-functional. This leaves WiFi as the only available means of communication between the Streak and the outside world.
