Mods : I know this is the incorrect forum, because there isnt a Streak 7 forum yet.
It looks like this will be a tablet with no phone capabilities.
Let's start the "install phone.apk thread", like the galaxy tab.
Im curious to see if it can also work on AT&T.
there will probably be somthing better very soon though.
PS feel free to move this to the new Streak 7 thread when created.

'MeMo' something to take note of?
I like the stylist drawing ability that it has. Pressure sensitive.

On Tmo's FB page yesterday they introduced the Streak 7 as a 4G tablet. I will have as soon as its available.

My cousin took my Streak from me so I'm in a position now when I have to make the next choice. Streak was totally optimal for me but the Streak 7 seems good too. I will get it if I can use it as a regular HUGE phone with simcard, 3g and stuff...
I am for it too as long as the phone can be made to function. It would be the largest thing that I could deal with on a day to day basis tho.......... The HTC Shift would have been next to perfect if the phone and bluetooth had worked right.
Later..........
Both tablet and phone. Just like Streak 5!!!

19:22:59 Azamat I'll try, thanx -18C's too cold for, but I'll try
I want to believe it, but those service reps have been wrong too many times.
We will see, getting to work on ATT, that may be the issue. I'll be watching. Hopfully its not too much more than $330 w/o T Mobile contract.
I do hope it's going to work as a phone too...
But I don't really like what I see on this picture...

If you check the left side you won't find any dynamic there...and for the right side...you won't find any mic there...
Don't tell me it's going to be just data tablet...

Couldn't you just Bluetooth it? I don't know if I would hold a 7" device to my head....
With this tablet marketing it's video chat capabilities - I have to guess that it will have a Mic.
Agreed...it has to have a microphone.
That is just a render anyway...not an actual pic. so who knows at this point.
Supposed to be out next wed. so not too long to wait for the rest of the details.

hey guys, i too am anxiously awaiting this phone... and i do say phone because on the tmo website, the dell streak 7 is in the phone catagory.... not the tablet catagory. however, nothing is certain in this world, im just pointing out some observations.
ok bad news this morning. i had been surfing the internet for answers or insight on this, and found vids... none of which look like the streak 7 has an ear piece of any sort.... so i called t mobile and the rep said it will be a tablet... no phone caps. DAMNIT
If running 2.2, you should be able to root it... Why couldn't we use DJ Steves roms and get everything we need baked in? I have a streak 5 running tmobile 3g, works great... I would just like the bigger screen size. Originally...i had to have tmobile re provision my account...they saw my streak as a tablet...could only connect to redirect page for webconnect devices...they fixed it...been running 3g since last august. Steves rom should re enable phone capabilities. That would be sweet.

If The Man Steve would be able to unlock phone capabilities on Streak I would consider trying to swap Streak 7's display to Nook Color's...

The 7 uses a totally different chipset
I called staples to check the availablity of Dell Streak 7. The representive said there will not have new stock of Streak 7 coming soon. Because Dell actually recalled Streak 7.
Do anyone know more, and does Streak 7 have problem for recall?
I think it's possible...
I had to go to 4 staples stores before I found one.
1 store said they had 4 in stock, until I got there and they couldnt find them... then the manager had to teach the sales associates how to understand their POS system. Apparently, their system will show the Staples store has them in stock, until Dell actually receives them.
The manager told me that they dont know the details, they were just told to RTV them.
Also, one of those 4 stores I went to actually had one in stock, but for some odd reason, the manager wouldnt sell it to me... His only response was "you dont want this one".... and wouldn't explain any further.
Whatever! I got mine!

Haha...nice
When I called Dell for another question today I directly asked if there was any sort of recall and if they still are supporting the device. He assured me of no recall and says full support is still to continue. Of course this is coming from a Dell trained employee so only time will tell...
Seems there may just be some sort of issue between Staples and Dell?
I just purchased mine on thursday at a Staples with the $100 dollar off coupon without any problem. They still had 3 or 4 left in stock (they were selling faster than the other tablets) Nice cheap way to test out if a tablet is right for you imo.
Its no wonder seeing as T-Mobile has discontinued it too.
This is very unfortunate. DELL really dropped the ball on this one, big time. Awesome device; all they needed was some proper software support and a smidgen of advertising. I really don't know why they even made the Streak 7 if they weren't going to support it. Then again, DELL is one of the few tech giants that actually spends less on R&D than Apple.
It's still listed for sale on T-mobile just not with a contract discount.
I work for a T-Mobile authorizied dealer.
We got word yesterday that tmo is no longer supporting the streak. We are unable to order any more. Word is once stock is depleted tmo will offically eol the streak. As of right now it is available online and in stores that still have them in stock

And right after they updated the Sync and added that other cloud software.
I'm happy with my DS7 WiFi and will continue with it until it's no longer supported and/or out of warranty and then I'll release the hacking/programming hounds
thats why i bought insurance on it through tmobile so in about a year when they cant be found anymore they will have to replace with a similar device through asurion its 130 dollars.
I think the so called recall is to slap honeycomb...out of the the box

I doubt it, but nice thought. Of course simply for that reason it probably won't happen. The fact that the unit is being discontinued probably means they're not going to invest more into it. Best bet will be for the dev community to be our only hope.

I'm not sure why they wouldn't update both at the same time. Some websites have said that T-Mobile is not supporting the S7 any more, but it is still for sale on their site.

Looks like they have left over inventory. Its a shame that neither Dell nor T-Mobile wants to promote their products. I don't recall ever seeing an add for the Dell Streak 7. How can people buy them if they don't know anything about it. I have to say Samsung & Apple is doing a great job at advertising their product.

Actually I think they are refurbs. But the point is that if they are still selling it they should be supporting it with updates.
Hi everyone I just wanted to confirm that the HC 3.2 for DS7 is out in UK.
Not sure if it's UK only or whole UE.
I've got wi-fi only wersion. If you have one check your update today
Btw; It's awesome !
hi im in England and got the honeycomb update yesterday oct 3 works fine
Please be waiting for me when I get home.

Yeah mine was ready yesterday as well but I couldn't upgrade because of low battery. So i charged it up over night and did it this morning ;]
The upgrade was also available for my device yesterday evening.
Now I'm a happy honeycomb user
Pros: Everything is faster now. Does honeycomb use both CPU cores?
I can now install applications which were not compatible when my device was on android 2.2
Cons: I think the screen clarity is worst than before. The on screen fonts and icons/widgets were better in android 2.2, most probably cause there are smaller now
Does anyone know will the Over The Air update work on a rooted DS7, or do you have to unroot it in order to update. I am assuming that the rooted DS7 will see the update because it is just a website, right?
Is this only available in Europe? Or will I be crying tears of joy here when I get home.

Root = updated su permissions + superuser.apk. Neither would affect it.
On a X.X.X to X.X.Y upgrade, you'll also have to be concerned about if you removed apk's or otherwise modified things.
In the case of Froyo to Honeycomb, I'm pretty sure it's going to nuke /system entirely and that won't matter at all.
Gents, can anyone give download link for wifi only version ? or at least give version and build numbers ?

I was thinking along the same path. Thanks for confirming it.
being rooted NEVER matters to the ota updates on dell devices, the only thing that matters is having the stock recovery installed.
If whoever got the wifi version could post any details about their old rom version or the newly recieved one I can prepare update notes
i just hacked the stock recovery so i could update to this http://mobileupdate.dell.com/?version=GLUNB1A334000&servicetag=20QBPQ1 witch is the wifi version
board id DVT1-WIFI {ADC2=108 , ADC3052} P4_No : 19534 CM_No : 1604066
There's rumblings out there that official HC has dropped for the 4G model. Can anyone confirm this?
Nope, I have a Tmobile 4G and only get the No Updates Available page that's been there since the 2.2.2 upgrade.
I'll bet this forum lights up like a Christmas tree when it does.

Why would China get the 10" Dell Streak before America? Why would Dell put a crummy screen on an all-screen device? Why would Dell gimp the battery?
I don't try to understand Dell, anymore. I loved this tab, but I'm starting to think it was a mistake to purchase one. Too bad I don't have the money for whichever tab Sammy comes out with on T-Mo.

LOL
NOt a mistake cos they no honeycomb right now for it, never was when you bought it. There's no 7 inch that got the whole lot good.... screen, battery and OS, never will be. Would never need to buy another one if there was.
Streak 7 does the whole lot tho... can get away with most the gameloft and other latest games on it, got some of the best power behind it. Can probably do pretty much the whole android package...
Saying that though, some of the guys over there on the dell support forums claiming they got the official OTA. Every one should push them for a dump...
http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/mobile-devices/f/3824/t/19391686.aspx?PageIndex=7
If there's any truth in those posts all we need are any details of the update page.
Whatever rom they were on, and possibly their service tag if dell's being fickle and handing it out in phases.
OR just the update page/update.pkg url.
Of course you'll need to reflash back to 2.2.x to install it as all the custom HC roms repartition the device
Pretty much true,
Their build.prop would pretty much do most of it. Very much doubt they have it though, just news just after news about an expected OTA date. Push amigo, push...
Ordered a DS7 on 11/17 and was given an EDD for 12/27, I've been on the Dell Forums and a few people have claimed the same as well (Give or take a few days). Some have called Customer Service (My boyfriend has as well and hasn't gotten anywhere with them!), some have Emailed. Does anyone know what is going on? Any help would be appreciated.

If you've been on the Dell forums, then did you order it from Dell? If so, the 12/27 is probably because they are waiting on returns from stores since they announced the Streak 7 was discontinued.
Yeah I ordered it from their website on 11/17. They gave the EDD for 12/27 before they were discontinued. But them waiting for returns makes sense. I've also heard QVC sold 30,000 of them and that Best Buy sold a lot on Black Friday. The there's also a rumor in the boards that the the screen and battery life are vein worked on but I'm not holding my breath for that haha
Weirdest thing, went on their site today and my order was canceled then a new order was set up (still the tablet that I wanted) and now it's being shipped and should be here by Monday! I'm excited but at the same time this has been the weirdest online ordering experience I have ever had!

When your new s7 arrives, you should check what rom is preinstalled and report back
I bought my Dell Streak 7 on 11/25 and the estimated delivery was 12/26. Was not happy.
Then a week ago I got a email saying my order was changed. Called Dell, they canceled and re-submitted the order he said and the new delivery date was 1/15.
Was REALLY HOT after that. Went to 5 different people letting them know they ruined my kids Christmas (ok not my kid, but mine!)
I got tired of waiting on the last guy when I called on Thursday and was too busy at work to deal with them and figured the weekend is probably not the best time to rip a new one on someone, so was going to call today. Either I made a impression on someone or they just hurried things up but Fedex dropped off a dell streak at my house this morning. running 3.2.
Thought I'd let you guys know.
Good luck with your orders.
If it was preinstalled, what rom was it exactly? 506 or 507 I presume?
Not sure what number your looking for. I'm used to working with Phones.. My first tablet.
Android version 3.2
Kernel Version 2.6.36.3
OEM version GLUNB1A351230
Build Number 20031
I assume you would be looking for the build number.
Mine is a Wifi only version.
Now to get this stock Dell crap off. Looks like garbage compared to my samsung epic 4g. Hate how things are reversed. Status bar on bottom, delete when holding a widget is on top. and Man,, adding a widget.. Thats the worst.
Hope those of you waiting get your streak soon.
Merry Christmas
Well you have a rom that noone else does, would you be willing to make a nandroid or nvflash copy before modifying it?
Just as much if you dont and you break something, you'd be stuck downgrading to an older version.
The easy way is to use clockwork mod and make a nandroid, but that would mean losing the stock recovery.
If you are comfortable with using nvflash that can dump everything safely.
If you can meet on #dellstreak7 on freenode I can walk you though either process
Edit: it's also more or less completely 3.2 stock, there's absolutely nothing noticable changed, if it wasnt for the preinstalled stage widgets it might as well be a stock experience minus the quick updates (3.2.2 has been out for a while and 3.2.4 just released recently)
Got the same specs as mobilemedic
