Ok, this is not some whining thread about the x10, so if you want to whine, go somewhere else...
Now that's the disclaimer out of the way...
Is anyone finding their x10 is just getting worse on 1.6...?
I never had any real issues except the occasional freeze, which now seems to have partially resolved itself, but now the following issues are starting to creep in, which I have never ever had before (these have all started in the last week or so)
Phone will just hang up when I'm in the middle of a conversation
Mobile Data seems to just not want to connect/turn on
Widgets seem un-responsive - they often don't recognise that I'm tapping them
Phone reboots by itself
Incredible sluggishness (like 10 seconds to respond) to certain events
I'm not asking if you've had these kind of issues for ever - all phones seem to have some stupid quirk that stops them working properly (mine was freezes) - I really want to know if any one else's phone has just recently started to deteriorate on its own (I haven't dropped it, rooted it, changed it, kicked it or anything)
I'm just hoping that when my carrier 2.1 comes along, these things will fix themselves...

I've always had these problems since i installed 2.1, i've been waiting for it to go away Well actually I've only had the last issue, ie sluggishness
With 2.1, I'm sure that most of your issue will be fixed
I rarly get lagg; I only get lag when I'm running like 10-15 different applications as once!
Only thing that sucks about xperia though is that there is WAY to much BLUE on it
But I'm sure you'll be happy with 2.1
My main concern is that these things have crept up just recently... it's just odd...
CAnt connect through my PC anymore via cable, also very sluggish.

You're on 2.1 though... could be to do with your update - I'm talking about 1.6 just getting worse...
Unless, of course everything was fine when you updated, and now it starting to get worse...
I've had some unresponsiveness while clicking widgets or accessing the menu
Camera seems to be slower when trying to access
think so far it's all
Yeah, the same thing has been happening to me for the last couple of weeks. Phone has been freezing, acting oddly or slow, and rebooting on its own.
The big disclaimer here is that I'd recently updated a bunch of my apps, so I figured the issue may lay with one of those, and with 2.1 coming shortly (hopefully, Rogers!), I can't be bothered uninstalling then one by one to see if I'm right. If the issues continue post-2.1, then I'll have to start tinkering.

So 2.1 has finally arrived. After flashing it using the Global Flash-tool version as I have a Dutch branded X10i it seemed extremely slow, at first I waited and waited. No result.
After checking with 'Android System Info' and 'System Panel' the CPU usage is between 99% and 100%. Constantly!
It's strange that no process is using 100%, at some point 'acore' is using 100%, not all the time.
Is anyone else having the same problem? Lag anyone? Check your CPU usage!
I've all-ready re-flashed and rooted twice. Same issue...

for about one month my streak keep rebooting and crashing...if i start a game example angry birds after max 2 minutes reboots and then is stuck at dell logo.i need to wait about 30 minutes then it will boot again.
i tried all roms possible...and still i have this problem.
even reboots while i hold it in my hands and do nothing on it.i have no idea what is causing the problem.
i need your opinion guys.
at least i can sell it for parts.
thx in advance for any help!
Sounds like a defect.. call dell for replacement
Sent from my Dell Streak
well i don't have extended warranty. every item comes with standard warranty i guess.i will give some calls to see maybe i can get a replacement.
My Streak started acting word last month giving a lot of force closures and stuff. I first began batteling this by installing Streakdroid 1.9 and that was fine for a couple weeks.
Then the force closures came back. Along with random freezes and reboots. I was just living with that until my streak stopped communicating with the cell towers. It became stuck in airplane mode but I could still turn on wifi.
So I installed gingerstreak and enjoyed that for a day before the random restarts came back with a vengeance. I suspected the amss.mbn file.
I then used the QDL tool to get my streak back to the 309 radios. I installed 309 via the awesome multirecoveryflasher. I then allowed my streak to update itself to 351 and spots there.
And it was great for a day. I had no random restarts no fcs.
I installed a chess app and was playing a game when the capacitive buttons blinked 3 times and my phone shutdown.
That began the continuous blinking lights reboot cycle. I got my streak out of that by reapplying the update package and doing a couple factory resets.
So now it is working again, but sometimes it freezes, blinks the lights, and restarts maybe a few times before it fully boots up and allows me to use it for a while.
Is my streak hosed??

Given that you had a done a factory reset, i take it that the restarts also happen with just the stock apps?
Could it be faulty ram or sdcard perhaps? Maybe try taking out/in the sdcard?

Yes it was happening even after the factory reset.
That could maybe be the issue. I did recently get a new 32gb sd card for my Streak. But, I tested device with the built in diagnostics and both the internal and external sd cards passed.

Could either swap back to the old one and see if you still have problems or try dismount/mount/formatting the new sdcard again i guess.
Is there a chance it is my sim card?
I had the restart loop thing happen again today. So I pulled my sd card and still looping restarts. Then I pulled the sim card and my phone started right up.
Like I am going to put my sim card back in and see what happens now.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA Premium App
Restart loop with my sim card in but phone starts with it out. Tried it with the sim out again and restart loop.
Tried it with another sim and phone started fine. Tried my sim again and my phone started.
So my sim card is back in now but I think I am going to get a new one from at$t tomorrow.

Hmm that's weird haha
Well at least you narrowed down the problem
Hope everything works well after the exchange
Ok so new sim card and flashing lights restart loop.
Super happy not fun or really happy time. :-(
Guess I need to send my steak for repair?
It is working right now. Do you think I have anything left to try?

You can also try flashing the 351 "amss.mbn" and "dsp1.mbn" file from http://<<mirror2.streakdroid.com>>/manii//351/ (remove the << and >>)
Amazing! I have exactly same problem as you, and with similar timeline! (starting to think it's like some Dell timebomb to force us to buy new tablet ;-)
Already tried everything like you. When works, it's OK until it start to connect to 3g, connection works for some time (minute or so) and then streak freezes (i need to remove battery) or reboots with flashing buttons. After that, it simply turns into Dell logo bootloop with battery draining (and overheating) fast or it reboots to android gui and when connects to mobile network buttons flashes and reboot again.
When i remove simcard, it often boots almost normally, although i noticed few times that it was reboooting without simcard, but much less frequently.
Then i need to remove battery for few hours, after that, it usually it turns on (better luck if i remove sim card).
Hoped that it's some kind of software error, but when i tried almost every available rom (stock or modded) i'm pretty much convinced it's hardware problem: some electronic failure, possible overheating sensitivity (although i did checking battery temperature when reboots happened - it was not as much - 30-33°C) or internal sd failure (although i can't see what it has to do with simcard as a source of problem...).
I tried 351 stock and amss and dsp, and did not help.
htcjikelly, please report if you have find some info about our problem (i'll do same)
unfortunately, i noticed that normal working periods are shorting rapidly, so i think that problem is progressing, and wouldn't be surprised to se my streak dead soon :-(
hopefully not before i try my warranty...

I have not been able to restore my Streak to total rock solid function. My brother had one lying around and he gave it to me.
So now I have one of the white streaks with 1.6 on it. I want to pull a backup from this new phone to see what that will do to my old one. I've got to figure out how to do that first though.
There's got to be a way. Maybe I can copy everything off the white one's internal SD card and copy it to my old one.
The warranty. I purchased one from squaretrade and I supposedly have one with AT&T as well. Maybe I should look into that.
Same problem here
I have the same problem with my streak, it randomly reboot, the lights flashes some times and it stay in a loop for a while.
But I live in Brazil, and can rma this thing, actually, I can do nothing, because it wasn't launch in Brazil oficially, and it's second handed.
I need some help.
Hi all,
I've been a proud streak 5 owner for some years now and have been through quite a few of them. The one i'm on now has developed an issue where its constantly rebooting; it can be immediately after loading the android os or at the dell startup logo. Occassionaly i'm able to get it to stay on but its just a matter of time before it reboots again. Its got to the point where its no longer useable and i havent particularly used it in months due to this issue. I love the phone but i've been through that many of them i promised myself when i got this one it would be my last so i really hope it can be fixed.
I've tried various things myself to fix the issue including:
Factory Reset
Re-Flashed Rom
QDL tool, streak repair, and repairtools (all qdl tools sucesfull but still rebooting)
I've covered pretty much everything there. The only other possible solution i can think of is replacing the internal sd card but i dont have my tools with me as i've just moved house. I also have some spare streaks that dont boot up or have cracked screens so i'll try swapping about some parts when i get hold of my tools again.
In the meantime would anyone have other suggestions that wouldnt require opening up the device ?
Earlier this week I brought you news that the Android 4.4.2 KitKat update had finally started rolling out for Dell’s Android budget slates, the Dell Venue 7 and Venue 8.
A few days later, a lot of users have updated to the new build and at the same time the first bug reports have started pouring in.
Some owners don’t report anything being wrong at all, but others have several complaints. Like user Stych, who started the topic on the official Dell Community Forums (2) in the first place.
He reports random screen freezes, SD card not registering, apps not working, lower tolerance to the internal heat build, jerkiness when scrolling on the web and Facebook.
Other Venue tablet owners report not being able to mount the microSD card since the update. Particular to the Venue 8 is the fact that the battery will not charge past 60%, even if no issues were detected before the update.
However, out of all the complaints the most alarming problem seems to be that some tablets end up being bricked after the Android 4.4 KitKat update.
“Prior to update, my Venue never had a problem. Since the update, it has crashed multiple times, lost data, freezes, shuts down, goes into screen loops and shuts down just after displaying an error message com.android.systemui. Seriously, what went wrong,” says user conan1130.
Some users have tried performing a factory reset and reloaded everything, but the problems keep persisting. Dell representatives have yet to say something on the matter, but before they do, you might want to put off updating your Dell Venue 7 or 8 to Android 4.4.2 KitKat.
I updated a few hours ago. I guess only time will tell.
I had to send my Venue 8 back to Dell. My Venue was constantly freezing while playing games or just reading USA Today. Hopefully they can fix it as I really like the tablet.
I got my Venue back from Dell. The repair list states that the motherboard and screen has been replaced. So far, after playing with the Venue for about 2 hours, the screen hasn't frozen up. Hopefully, this is fixed and I shouldn't have any more issues.

Dell has been failure when it comes to software of any kind and that is the reason they flopped miserably in PHONE space, What I fail to understand about these giants that they dont seem to have read concept of CORE COMPETENCIES, Dell's core competence is HARDWARE and they should outsource software integration to a worthwhile partner. Build a pretty good hardware set partner with CYANOGENMOD to build ROM for them. Kitkat 4.4.2 has been horrible even for NEXUS users and that is why 4.4.3 and then 4.4.4 were released in quick succession by GOOGLE but companies like HTC, LG, SAMSUNG, SONY etc. did a very thorough testing and removed the BUGS as they are known to CUSTOMISE ANDROID heavily. Dell doesn't customise ANDROID too much hence they missed out correcting the bugs inherent in 4.4.2 and most surprisingly they dont seem to be bothered to release 4.4.4 quickly which has stabilised in its raw form pretty well. Michael Dell is master of past.

I personally did not experience a problem with battery drain. My tab updated out of the box and doing what I normally do such as controlling what apps update when and making sure none of them are waking it from sleep unnecessarily mine hardly drains at ALL when screen and wifi is off. I wake up with pretty much all the battery I went to sleep with. Dunno if it has to do with certain apps or the fact that it updated on a factory fresh out of box device or what but all has been well here.
same here..i'm getting same error like freezing screen,some application not responding and keypad sometimes not coming..
i'm using dell venue 7 3740 with android 4.4.4 kitkat.
