Thank you for the review posted, it's nice hope to see expansys have the phone in stock very soon!
I bit superise seeing the review, the memory card holder beside battery and not under the battery

It's like on Touch Pro
And they posted the IMEI number in full view. Never seen that before. Is it risky to do this?

Actually its better off this way, so that whenever I have to load any media on the card, I dont have to pull out the battery and it would take for ever to reboot.
Thanks for the links, all good it seems!
The only thing they did not realy test is the multimedia performance of the phone

It was mentioned somewhere that HTC forbids them to review too deeply about the software, only hardware and superficial stuff. guess they are still working out some kinks.
hmm, fishy... no video playback testing, come on...
I was hoping to take good pictures with 5MP camera. Other review says that the camera performs fast and this one the opposite.

Even my old Qtek S200 had better photos than the ones from HD
damn i really just need one single thing to make me sell my almost new diamond to get this HD monster... video perfomance.... diamond video perfomance SUCKS but if HD handles well with it that screen and resolution would be killer....
but seems no one knows about video perfomance so i better dont put my hopes too high....
Upon attempting the stock Froyo performance upgrade, I ended up at the dreaded Dell logo and couldn't get past it. I tried QDL, restore, factory reset etc... eventually I was able to figure out that it was a dead internal card. After reading some posts online and looking at the video of taking it apart I figured I'd check to see if it was the Micro card or the socket or what so I popped it open and put in a 6Gb class 4 card I had laying around.
I then ran the test in fastboot again and the card came back as fine. So then, from something I'd seen I decided to try doing the factory reset and that worked, so then I ran the QDL tool again on it. I was amazed when the phone booted up, and even more amazed that I had 4.83Gb of internal memory. After all my reading, I was under the impression that android wouldn't recognize more than 2Gb
Here are a couple of screen shots.. blurry... but still.
Now while I was going crazy because my 2 week old Streak was bricked, someone asked if I'd done a nandroid backup (I hadn't). Is that the best backup method?
Also, I tried several things when the Dell logo wasn't going away. Can anyone look at the screen shots and tell me what I'm running, OS-wise? I see a Steve kernel, and I'm wondering if that is part of the performance fix.
BTW, quadrant score is 1504 overclocked to 1194.
Moving to General
I just noticed I can no longer connect to my company's exchange server where I could before. Any thoughts on that?

Well I can tell you after it worked with the 6 I tried on of my 16gig class 2 cards and it didn't work. In the engineering test mode it recognized the card, but I couldn't get it to boot into android. I'm guessing class 2 is just too slow... or at least its too low at that capacity.
Here's the link to the thread on modaco which planted the seed in my head.
http://android.modaco.com/content/d...com/311538/hardware-hacking-this-puppy-input/
Here is a collection of pictures regarding taking the phone apart
http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Dell-Streak-Teardown/3512/
and here is the video of it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxcib-ricec&feature=player_embedded#!
I ended up using my thumbnails to get to the T5 screws. If you push in at the curve in the corner of the end panels at the end of the phone where the curve is they are pretty easy to remove. They are just held on with double stick tape. No special tools needed. I used the T5, my thumbnails, and a random 6Gb card I had laying around the house.
Those guys in the modaco thread are talking scripts and so on and so forth. I didn't have to do any of that. I don't know if that is because of the kernel or the build of the 2.2 I'm running, but it seems to have no problem with a bigger card.
Still have problems with Exchange though, and not sure if that is because of something I did with the card mods or what.
they are talking about the scripts etc because they want the card to a specific mount point that cant be achieved by just replacing the sd. outstanding job tho mate, you had been brave!
Have you seen any performance increase by using the larger card?

No performance increase as far as quadrant was concerned. I gained like 8 points on the quadrant score. Ended up at 1504. Then went to 1.5.3 and managed up to 1600 or so.
Back down to 1494 with all my apps back on, and that's with set CPU to max on demand in all tests.
Hmmm.... I wonder if it would work this easily with an 8GB microSd card? Changing all that script as posted on Modaco's site scares the heck out of me. I bought an additional 32GB card to do it, but haven't built my nerves up yet.
Was it worth resurrecting a thread that hasn't been added to for nearly 7 months?
I just got a 32GB (Reads 27.4GB) Class 4 SD card for my phone. I know I can load pictures, movies, videos and documents on it, but what else can I do with this card? Essentially, I want to know all of my options before I start loading it up. I always see blurbs involving side loading, storing apps, using it for root and other stuff but I don't completely have the gist of that stuff down. Mind telling me everything I should be using this SD card for? What should I do with it right now before I load any media on it? Thank you!
Note: I am running update .83 and am NOT rooted.
I use mine for as much multimedia as possible, i.e. music, pictures, videos.
I also store boot animations, fonts, themes, and anything else I might want to have readily available after a wipe.............which I do frequently.
I also set my external sdcard as my TiBu location.
<edit> Everything I store on my external sdcard relating to boot animations, themes, etc. are just the files I will re-flash/install should I wipe. It just saves me copying all the flashable files I know I will need every time I wipe/sbf flash. If you store pics, music, etc. on the external sdcard, it is useable on other devices instantly should you remove the card to place in another device, either permanently or temporarily, and I have not had problems with my class 4 card as far as time to access files, play music from, etc. as some people say you will have.
honestly it's just there for storage. The phone has enough internal storage that you'll never need more space for apps. Store all things like backgrounds, widget skins, widget settings, etc on the internal memory, because if you ever remove the sd card the phone can't use them.
external card is also great for TiBu files as CaelanT said.

You are probably right, but.
I've been saying similar things about pcs and devices for the last 13+ years. I was wrong at every turn...
Made me think of my first 20gb hdd.

I never considered myself an "Old Timer" but I have owned a computer longer then most of my coworkers have been alive.
The memories of taking old floppy disks (and I mean real floppy disks not those little 5-1/4 inch deals I mean the 8 inch boys) and cutting notches in them so we could try and use the single sided disks as flipper/double sided ones.
Anyway I have a question for CaelanT... how about video on a class 4. I have a class 10 16gb and was going to go for a class 10 32gb when I got the money, but if you do not have anyproblem with video at class 4 I may save myself a little money.
Video is good for me on 720p unless I pan with the phone, and then I get a wee bit of motion jitter with occasional blur, but I believe I have read that happens to everyone and it's a camera issue. I took video of my sons graduation yesterday with it, and holding the camera still, video and audio were great.
I would post a video, but everything I have is personal. I may do a quick one tonight and post it for you to see.
no problem, don't need to really bother on my account, I trust your opinion.
It's just extra storage but advantage is if your phone dies you can still transfer all your contents to another place. If you only used internal memory if your phone dies everything is stuck on the device.
This is probably a good place to ask: what's the easiest way to transfer music and pictures to the SD card. And I mean taking them out of internal memory,not just copying them.
Never live in the past but always learn from it.
Hmm.. I have another question about sdcard-ext ..
Many big games.. Like the tegra2 games need 200-300mb or more.. And they installed on sdcard.. Bcz for phones without internal sd, sdcard is meant for their external.. So, how can we install these games to external sd??
I will sent this request, as feedback to the devs of "galaxy on fire game"..

Sounds familier. I remember getting mine. It was 20mb too, big double height 5.25" monster. (Size of two cdrom drives stacked for you youngsters) I remember saying, wow I'll never fill this thing! lol
That would of been in my second computer. The first only had two 5.25" floppies.

Quite a good idea! I'm participating with a littlebit absurd photo I've taken on a garage-row. WTF category
...and the second screen is just to prove the quality of the X8's camera is not-so-bad, if everything is on its place.
BTW your second picture is really epic
I like the dead cat!!! HAHAHA
I don't like the pic where the cat died. I love cats, so I hate it.
I'll update this post soon.

The essence of this topic is to post X8 made pictures. And when do you take picture with your phone? When something absurd or sudden thing happens, so they are just not simple photos, they're recordings of the Moment!
When I got my X8, about 10 months ago, I wasn't over impressed by the camera quality (having used a variety of compact, bridge and digital SLR cameras over the years). But then I remembered something I read a while ago - "a picture is only as good as the photographer who takes it" (paraphrased, can't find the original reference so I set out to see what I could squeeze out of it...and here are a couple of examples, unedited, straight out of the phone.
Hope these snaps inspire others to experiment with their X8 (or other phone cam!)
(Just noticed that quality of the attachments is slightly lower than the originals due to the files being recompressed when uploading to XDA - the originals are ~400kb each, the attached versions ~90kb each.)

The first and third photo is really ass-kicking! I hardly can believe that you took these photos with an X8 om this quality! You sir... congrats!
@thedailycommute:
Really creative pictures!
@velnens123:
Why are the photos has got smaller dimensions than the X8 camera's maximum resolution? BTW these are really crisp images. Niceone too.
If this topic continues like this, I will mark it as my most favourite!
Thread closed because , seeing first post image and below comments, it is logical that human stupidity is well know.
OP, if you like to post dead animals pics then make it to your facebook profile and NOT here and you are like that i don't propose you for a ban.
Hello everyone. Congratulations for the wonderful forum you have here.
Before you read my post i suggest you arm yourselves with some pop corn/ tortilas/ chips/ because i will keep you here for a while.
I have searched for quite a long time and tried a couple of things which i found in the forum but didn't work before i ended up signing up and posting..i might have missed the right answer, so please forgive me if i did.
A friend of mine accidentally bought a fake/clone galaxy s4. (Phone info on first photo)
When he came to show it to me i could see that the phone was running really slowly and laggy (lot of fps drops even when sliding through the apps pages), and despite that he only managed to put just one application which was less than 500kb, he would constantly get the message of 'low storage' so he had to delete it to free up some space. I checked his storage through phone settings and he had total space 16GB and from these, 13GB would be used up by apps but since he hasn't downloaded so many apps yet it seemed illogical. Same goes with the phone storage, 16.53 GB total space and despite this it would show that he has used up a lot of it on apps pictures videos etc. We hadn't taken any photos yet so it is again weird. Please have a look at the second and third screenshots. (i also put a 4gb sd card which was almost empty, and it would show that i inserted a 16gb sd card which had about 2 gb free memory :/ )
So i offered to try to format the memory and do a factory reset. I did it since i had some experience with my galaxy s2 which is original.
Guess what, it would show the same storage as if i never touched it, run really slow, PLUS 23 hours a day there is no signal and can't make any phone calls. And even if there is little signal once i try to make a phone call the signal gets lost.
I have managed to download cpu z and hardware info and as you can see from the rest of the screenshots the actual storage is 137 MB internal and 12 MB (!) external.
What is going on exactly with this phone? How can i make the phone run faster and not so annoyingly slow and laggy? How can i get the signal back to normal? And is there a way to make the memory be 16GB for real? Maybe this firmware is 'masking' the phone's true memory capacity? Or is it really just 137MB and there is no way to expand it's capacity? Maybe a root or some new firmware? The only experience i have with rooting is with my original galaxy s2 so if there is such a solution please tell me in detail the procedure as i suppose it would be different from original phones. Looking forward for your replies. Thank you for walking with me so far.
Unfortunately xda doesnt offer any support for clones/fakes.

SORRY to confirm this a clone and we can't help you in any way.
no worry you surely paid for what you get. a good phone clone!
I have some expirience with S3 i9300 clone wich was almost identical to this one specs and after 2 days playing with it i can tell you this you cant install almost no apps on these phone and this is if the phone use some old android cause most of these replicas use some made up OS and only says android they cannot be rooted you cant do anything to improve it you can use them only to make calls well i guess you cant do even that with this one so better try to get your money back cause there is no hope for these clones
