[Q] unlocked dell streak 5 ? noob - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

is there any way to get the 3g to work on my unlocked dell streak with the baseband version ending with 00-us sorry i just got it and really sad that it just has edge i just got a internet plan with t mobile to and would like to use this phone since i love everything else about it

Afraid not, Tmo 3g is a different beast than ATT 3g.

Even if I root the streak would I not get 3g out hspa?

Rooting won't help because this is a hardware issue, not software. T-Mobile's frequencies cannot be seen by an unlocked/AT&T Streak, and thus you will be limited to 2G (EDGE) speeds.
Your only alternative is to find an AWS Streak. These units have a different receiver in them than the standard, and are fully usable on T-Mobile.

AWS model. im rockin it on Tmobile 3G+

They're very hard to come by. You just have to keep an eye out for one or convince someone to let go of theirs

AT&T & 4G

Att has recently begun deploying 4g, hspa+, and will begin deploying LTE soon. For the x10, how can I get 4g? Is there some third party thing I can install?
Btw, I am running Z's free x10 rom.

H is as close as you can get to "4g" on the x10
they changed the frequency at which a network can be considered 4G. H=4G. Lte, and Lte Advanced can be used on the same phone, like ours (E, 2G, 3G, H) but they can't be used together. completely different frequencies. sorry, but no. but when it does come out, be happy that you have a much better coverage... for now ;-)

So there's not something the dev's of my custom rom can do code-wise to make use of the new frequencies?

no sorry, you'd have to change the hardware receiver/transceiver

That's something you should ask T-Mobile about. They have a website and everything

Um, what unbranded phone works with tmo-us 3g bands? You have to be able to receive the correct frequencies in order to get 3g, and tmo-us uses non-worldly 3g bands, unlike att.
So, while dumb, it's the reality of the situation.

Nokia n9 is coming with a pentaband radio, so it will work on Tmobile 3g.

[Q] 1.1.2 of the premium XDA NOT COMPATIBLE WITH OUR STREAK?

Anybody know why version 1.1.2 of the premium XDA Android app is not compatible with the Dell Streak 5?
That really sucks. I wanted to buy it and support the product, but I can't.
Its working on my streak.

How can I get it to install? Market says it's not. Won't let me download or install it.
I'm running 351 stock, rooted.
If anyone has any idea why it shows as incompatible, I'd appreciate any help.
XDA premium works well on my streak (rom 354 lite)

Mine works fine on 1.9.1.
Why just me?
Never mind. I'll just go with Tapatalk.
I thought it would be something simple.
I think, that after last update of Android Market lot of apps is now not compatible with Dell Streak (and they worked fine before). Right now, I have three waiting updates but they don`t proceed because market is saying that it is not compatible with my device.
I will change my device ID to HTC Vision again.

Order and chaos

Anyone heen able to get this to work on the streak????

Yes, I played it a lot when it first launched. You just have to change your build.prop to an HTC desire or any ornery phone with similar hardware to the streak

Does changing that tho mess up anything with the phone

And here I thought this thread was going to be about
Dell's lack of support and understanding of the Streak, and Android LOL.
