not sure if this belongs here but i bought a tmobile 3g streak and i love it so far. it's running firmware 1.6 baseband gausb1a111100-aws with kernel 2.6.29-perf build number 6267. my question is that i see everyone talking about build number 4917 and i was wondering if i'm running an updated version since i can't install this build.
another question is all my mms come in small, i've tried changing the settings to no avail. if i send them using a diff sms program , chomp, they go out at decent size but return small so i'm guessing the ua string is what i have to change but i;m not sure how to do that. any suggestions.
ps dell streak rocks!
explain to us how you happened to get a "t-mobile version" of the streak, when it hasn't even been released yet in the usa. and the uk one doesn't support t-mobile 3g either, i could be wrong there. Just curious.
Please can you clarify if you are in the US or UK
In UK the streak is exclusive to O2 and direct buy from Dell which is unlocked.
So how did you manage to pick one up with T-Mobile???
Yup, thought tmobile wasnt supported on streak

For those of you who didn't know... Dell did have T-Mobile 3G USA versions of the device in beta testing along with AT&T 3G compatible devices.
There were a few of them on eBay at one point. All gone now though...

he's right, i bought mine on ebay and made absolutely sure it would work with tmobiles 3g bands before the purchase. since it works with tmobile on this side of the pond i'm guessing it's a us version.
if someone can tell me how to get a copy of the build i can upload it. i have not yet rooted but will soon. also any ideas why i get the small mms downloads??
thanks guys.
also, i put up screenshots on this other forum of the firmware and such. here's the link

I can attest to this as I bought one locally thinking it was an AT&T beta but turns out it was a T-Mobile test unit. I sold it to another local buyer who is on WIND Mobile in Canada which also runs on 1700/2100 UMTS/AWS. We tested it with his sim card and it worked perfectly fine including 3G data.
T Mobile 3G

hi,
planning on buying an unlocked version from Dell direct once the firmware update is out. Was wondering on your t-mobile streak, do you get the H icon for HSDPA?
What data speeds are you getting? and is your MMS working ok?
thanks.
In avg I get 2000 down and 700 up, not bad id say. My mms works but the pictures come in very small about 5kb in size. Very frustrating. If anyone has any suggestions if greatly appreciate it.
Ps I'm in chicago

In chicago also, the same for me...I have worked on trying to get bigger MMS, but no luck so far. I remember we had the same problem with the HD2 EU version when it came out. I have tried some of the things i learned from that. I am sure there will be a solution soon.

having the small mms problem always happen to me when i get a phone from the uk and use it on tmobile. it's such a pain in the ass. what does it matter what the ua string or whatever is as. almost all phones nowadays are able to get pics way bigger than 5kb which is why it was imposed on from the beginning. really annoyed at tmobiles stupidity. great service but stupid mms issues.

I am running Dj_Steve's 1.9.0 ROM on my test dell streak. Wifi and all the other features are good to go. I am having trouble adding the apn setting for the AT&T network. I get a message stating the network in being enabled please wait and then nothing happens. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance!!!
APN prepaid settings
Asher73, Im gonna piggyback off your thread for a moment here because I have a similar request.
I have a Streak also running StreakDroid 1.9 but I live in Costa Rica.
I make several trips to the United States every year for business and always just use a goPhone.
So my question is, is it really possible to just buy a cheap goPhone and simply just use it's prepaid SIM card and insert that in my Streak and use it for calls and data?
If so, is there any special configurating I have to do for data usage?
Thats not piggybacking.

Thanks for the info. I just bookmarked the pages. But i wasn't even allowed to enter them in. I am going to do a factory reset and try again.
Take it easy, eSZee!
I think you have to ad d a new profile to enter the settings, not sure.

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.
Streak 7 forum
Walmart's StraightTalk plans allow you to buy a SIM card that seems compatible with the Streak. I have the "unlocked" Froyo Streak that I bought straight from Dell. Has anyone tried using the phone with StraightTalk? Which SIM would I buy? The "Unlocked phone" SIM, or the "AT&T Compatible" SIM. Any advice would be great.
If you go to the straighttalk web site and look under "Shop," it shows the various SIM card options.
Choose "Unlocked Phone (Phone must operate in 850 and 1900 MHz bands)"
---------- Post added at 04:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:09 PM ----------
They are the same
If you click "Unlocked Phone " and then click " AT&T Compatible Phone" the sim options don't refresh.
However click on T-Mobile will refresh the options as there is no micro sim for them.

Only a couple of the walmart phones will work for your purpose. If you have ATT as your cell phone provider, a Nokia E71 can be bought at walmart and its sim can be used in your ATT phone, after provisioning under straight_talk of course.

I got the SIM in the mail yesterday. Popped it in, changed the APN settings (provided by Straight Talk) and everything is working great. The plan is $45 unlimited talk, text and data. I am told that they throttle the living daylights out of you after 2gb, but I rarely go over this amount. The reason I left AT&T is that they wanted to charge me an extra $20 to tether my Streak. I only tether when I'm travelling or when the cable in my house is out. I'll be dipped if I was going to pay them $20/month for the five or six times a year I need to tether.
Hello.
I have received my HTC Aria of At&t logo on it as a gift from USA. I paid to at&t and unlocked it in India. I was using my phone as a simple without mobile internet. I thought that this is a new release mobile so no one have the 3G settings for this.
But now I am in studying in London, UK and i cant use any network accept Lycamobile. In this one, I also cannot use the mobile internet.
I have call the customer care but they always told that they send me settings but i never received it. What's going on in this i don't have any idea...
Its too hard to roam around in the big city without having an Internet in my phone.
Do i have to unlock it again according to UK? or is there any other problem i am facing.?
Please Help...
Thank you

Tausifali.
