Just got the Streak - Streak 5 General

Just wanted to check in.... love the size and speed of this tablet but lacks features due to 1.6 limitations. Not much lag like my captivate... cant wait for flash and upgrade to this new panel UI...
So does everyone here use this as their everyday phone?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App

Sure do use it as my everyday phone N it works a treat.
Just wait to u get away from 1.6 N get 2.2..it's a whole new phone N it is amazing. Flash is awesome.
To be honest the new stage ui I hate..have been trying it on dj Steve's Froyo rom.. launcher pro is dam good although not sure if u can get it as ur on 1.6.

It's my every day phone. Only adjustment has been making sure I have a charger with my me at all times.

Yeah its my every day phone too. I was a little concerned about its size for a phone but after about 2 weeks the device feels smaller in your hands. I couldn't go back now.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App

Going on 3 weeks here. Still with 1.6...was going to root & update, but think I'll just wait and see what happens around turkey day.
Got a otterbox defender and use it with the belt clip. For a couple days, it felt "big" on my belt, but doesn't anymore.

Its my everyday phone. The size us not an issue you Ger used to it. I love the phone and can not go back to anything else. I have had the phone since August and can't put it down. ;-)

Have it for 1 month now and travelled abroad with the Streak for 3 weeks - great device . Now using it as my only phone but I use it more cautiously than I did my hd2 - it feels slippery so I'm afraid it may slip out of my hind while I put it away after a call. Apart from that I dont miss the hd2 at all.

Just sold my Captivate and going to use this as my everyday phone as well. It seems like though if your ear doesnt line up exactly right to hole you wont be able to hear and I have to re adjust again to hear them.
Do you guys get that?
So excited for 2.2 so I can really get settled down. the 1.6 apps sux..

U guys notice some games dont work. Angry birds so far...
Is it because screen is too [email protected]?.

It doesn't work on 1.6. If you dl the beta version that one works.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App

Also that gmail on 1.6 only allows one account to import contacts etc.... u have to use native email app. To put all on phone but it wont import contacts.
Also after having it a couple days now when I talk on phone I cant hear unless my ear is exactly @ hole. I catch myslef saying what all the time. Wife gets mad..
last but no least is the haptic feedback we cant turn off.
This is my quick thoughts after coupke days use.

Got my 2nd replacement slide today & still problems!

So today I got my 2nd slide in the mail...My slide is having keyboard/wiggle problems so I called an they sent me another one which when I recieved that one it had the exact same problem but much worse, so I called um an they sent me another one again which I just got and guess what this one has same problem, although not as bad (yet), AND it has horrible lights leaks coming thru the screen AND light coming thru the front cover! WTF.
Should I call an get another one sent an try yet again to get a good one OR should I tell um i want something else an if so will they send me something diff or am I only gonna be able to replace it with the same phone?
I like this phone very much but damn if I cant one that looks and works right I may have to sell it on Craigslist an find something else. Im not picky I just want my moneys worth from a phone that cost me $300 an that when I got worked great. Feel me?
What would yall do?

i would try to get a different phone, as been reading around here i saw couple threads say the camera has degrading issue too
I'd ask for a Vibrant. That's just me though... After that many replacements they have to understand that giving you a different phone is in their best interests, ya know. I haven't experienced any problems with my Slide but I am expecting to run into some... I may go ahead and try to sell mine now before it screws up, and get myself a Vibrant (though, I've heard that has been having its share of issues as well). Either that or wait to see what phones are coming out for the big fall release (the rumored Vision seeming likely). But yeah I'd say ask for something else.

Rumers.....
Im gonna call them today an see what they say. They will prob want to just send me another slide but i may just tell not to. My sister got the new Vibrant so I played with that yesterday and decided that, although its a very nice phone, its not what I want at all. Ive got an Ipone now that I sometimes use and that Vibrant is pretty similar and im tired of that kind of phone. Which is another reason I really want this MyTouch to be a good phone. Ill let yall know what they say. Thanks for your thoughts.
Let me know what they say about giving you a different phone. I'm on my 3rd slide and I'm think I just want the galaxy untill something better comes out in a couple months.

Ok so I called um and this time they told me to go to a store an show them what im talking about an see if they can replace or fix it there. Well I know they cant fix it cause it isnt something like that an I doubt they give me a brand new one when Im there SO I bet ill be calling um back tomorrow after I leave the tmoile store so they can send me another one. Hope fully the next one wont be messed up. Well see...
Did you ask about getting a different replacement phone besides the slide??
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
Didnt really have a chance to ask um that cause the guy was persistant on me taking it to a tmobile store. Im thinking bout calling them back an seeing what another rep says I should do cause the tmobile store by me is in the mall an I hate the mall. Plus he said he didnt think they could give me a brand new one I would have to get a refurbished one, which is another reason I think I should just call um again im pretty sure they only have new ones at the store, although I could be wrong.

Good luck. I'm on my third Slide for various connection and MMS/SMS problems. This phone is just a piece of ****. So far, the only thing they have wanted to replace it with is a Blackberry Bold. Not quite going to cut it.
Well I decided to go ahead and keep the replacement phone they sent me that has the small light leaks. My bf said he cant barely see what im talking about. Plus ive already rooted, flashed and installed a custom rom on this new one an its running good. Guess I can learn to look past the light leaks. Ill prob end up selling this one on Craigslist soon as Tmobile comes out with something better later this year.

Wow so sorry about the late reply, I have actually just rooted my phone and it was surprisingly painless. It took me less than 10 minutes and I was done. I am actually still running the stock ROM and I haven't really seen any ROM that makes me want to change that. What ROM(s), if any, caught your attention?

I am now running CM OC806 kernel as well

What is this" atrix is a bad phone" crap

Maybe im just stupid but damn I love my atrix.... I had inspire returned got atrix never looked back so wtf? Our bootloader is locked that's it.... the device is fast as hell and since 1.8.3 the motoblurr has been my pick with gladatrix so why do people talk about selling it for infuse.inspire and captivate? The inspire lags when over used and the atrix excells in high usage

The Atrix is a great device. People need to stop crying about it. No one wants to waste time reading complaints.
If I could marry my Atrix I would! She already accepted my proposal via SMS, but unfortunately, although I am forward thinking, the State of Massachusetts is not, so we cannot wed!
doing the opposite of that is also annoying imho.. (will become so if not yet)
just stop feeding the trolls and they will move elsewhere
I love my phone -- just one complaint really.... as an actual PHONE -- it's a little tough for people to understand me on the other end. I know there are a TON of factors that go into this.. but... still... I find myself just putting a phone call on speaker and talking on it that way. Sounds better and I can have better conversations as opposed to people on the other end going "What?"

Seriously. The phone is great and there are too many vocal winers on this forum for it's own good. That's it. Once we get a few custom kernels unlocking the phone's true potential (+3 multitouch) it will be even better.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
Just a lot of haters on it and Motorola on the internet for obvious reasons.
Plus At&t has a lot to do with it and since most people have their old tech still they want to believe that dual core is pointless and lags with motoblur and blah blah.
Just keep rehashing the same thing over and over again.
Watch if the bionic ever comes to verizon, it will be getting a lot more praise, even though it will be the same phone.
I get no lag on mine, it seems to be getting faster and faster the more crap I install on it. There were obviously some buggy models but if you get a good one, there's not too much to complain about it.
The browser is probably one of the best and that's what most people use their smartphones for.

i have been a power user of phones since my blue angel sx66 back in the day. i was a primarily winmo user (sometimes palm and bb for work) until recently when i tried wp7 and have now moved on to this atrix.
i really don't have any features that i am missing except remote desktop.
i like my atrix and still have my surround and tilt 2. but i still keep using my atrix. there are far too many clowns in here talking about dumb stuff and half of them don't even own an atrix.
and so what if something better comes out in six months. guess what??? there will always be something better coming out in six months. get in where you fit in.
My Atrix rocks. It's really snappy, it never lags and battery life is insane. When I had my Milestone, I could only squeeze 12 to 15 hrs from it with moderate use. My Atrix can hold a charge for 20+ hours with heavy use, even more if I use the Lapdock since it charges the phone.
Very happy with this device!
I agree with the vocal minority theory. Many of these people look at the locked bootloader and try to convince themselves it somehow makes the phone subpar, or they listen to the vocal minority group that says AT&T sucks and translate that to their phone.
I haven't owned any android phones in the past because I've heard from others that they're slow and laggy. However, I bought the Atrix because seeing one in person, it was exactly the opposite. Having owned mine for a month now (as of today, in fact), its still just as zippy (if not more zippy) than the day I bought it.

I believe he's referring to the kexec bypass by Kholk, not an official Motorola unlock. Once that is available and we have custom kernels, I'd be surprised if there isn't a reversal in attitude among these people.

Atrix number 4 is being shipped.

Atrix #1 - wifi wouldn't stay on. Return to store.
Atrix #2 - blown speaker. Warranty replaced.
Atrix #3 - display won't come on but I can still unlock and click programs and they open. WiFi is buggy as hell and phone constantly loses wifi and microcell connection.
Atrix #4 - you better work or I go all crazy and beat some moto employees.

Maybe I am just too picky, but when I buy something I expect the damned thing to work. I am near ready to just say give me a different phone. I am tired of it not working.
For the record though, I love my Atrix. The only accessory I do not own so far is the lap top dock which I just can't justify the cost yet when I have so many other computers already.
Squeaky wheel gets the grease though I guess.
Did you get each of them from the same location? Did you record the serial numbers by chance.
Some people seem to be having quite a lot of trouble while others are not, so maybe there is a bad batch out there. It would be nice to be able to identify it.
Sounds like my Samsung Galaxy S days.
Ugh, painful.

Wow, I must be really lucky because mine has been absolutely flawless. The microphone is on the weaker side, but that seems to be a characteristic of this model.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I am just as lucky as you are. 3 Phones later:
#1: Flawless, fast, perfect, no lag no glitch no hangup. Purchased the day the phone came out. 1 Month and 2 weeks later...I went to check a text message and it never turned on again (tried everything). I miss that perfect phone, it was too perfect it probably killed itself.
#2: They sent me a used/refurbished/barely touched phone...I don't care what you call it. It would glitch and randomly restart a lot, the LED notification would blink when I had no messages, emails, etc. The unlock slider would move and freeze for a few long seconds before unlocking the phone.
#3: I am currently using this phone. It works well enough for me not to send it back for yet ANOTHER used/refurbished/barely touched phone. The camera app likes to not work when I need it the most and my LED light app does the same thing, it likes to disappear or not work. I re-installed these apps but same thing. Its probably just Android. The phone, while fast, does not seem as fast as my 1st phone. It has its hangups and issues but not enough for me to bother. Hopefully not a hardware issue.
And I am 90% positive that if I need a 4th phone, even after the first 3, they still will not just give me a new one.

Broken S Pen

Hi,
My S Pen started to come apart yesterday (the silver end from the main body), then today when i went to pull it out only the silver bit came out and it won't go back together.
I rang Samsung to try and get a replacement under warranty but they said as its an accessory i would have to buy a new one.
Does this sounds right? Surely the S Pen is more than an accessory and should be replaced under warranty as it has broken after 7 days of normal use

I'd return the phone for a replacement from where you bought it
I've got in contact with them. Only thing is i really don't want the hassle of flashing back to a stock rom and then returning it all the way back to Amazon.de and waiting for a replacement.
I had to have a replacement sent in the first place as the first one went 'missing'during delivery
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Wow! That's bad luck!
Mine came apart on the first day after trying to grab it from the back, but after a while managed to put it back together. Takes some time and found slowly twisting it until the button becomes operable works best. But have to line up the indent before twisting...maybe yours still can be saved.

I had a similar issue with the Dell x51v PDA a few years back, within a couple of weeks the stylus broke, so contacted Dell who insisted I would have to buy a new one, and they only sell in sets of 3 at £20 or so. I found on a forum that others had had similar problems and Dell USA had replaced for free, so I called back to Dell support and forwarded them links to those same posts and suddenly the response changed, and I got a free stylus 3-pack sent to me.
They were trying to fob me off with "we quality check every item" and such like, but as I explained to them, their process would never be doing full quality checks on every single, individual stylus manufactured, QA is usually sampled a few per batch or it would massively delay production.
Since it sounds like you are not alone with broke stylus problems, maybe all contact Samsung and reference each other and see if they will play ball and replace them for you

i have the same prob as the OP, but i dont know how to get the main part of the s pen out of the note!
where on earth can i buy a new s-pen? mines the white one too, but i think id settle for black
having trouble finding a replacement anywhere. I see places listing the official s-pen holder which includes a spare s-pen but no one has any stock.
Looks like the s pen is not so good quality. Im sure going to look after mine carefully ;(

I got a toshiba tablet pen a couple of weeks ago, it works a treat and it's nicer to write with a full size pen...
I don't have enough posts here to send a link, but if you search amazon uk for B000FG68FA it should work.
Also, the eraser on the other end of the pen works.
Same same,
White 9220.. and i thought it was because i have a Chinese one lol.....
push the glass and never saw the back of the pen fly that high
Made sure that the position is correct so it still worked on the note.... then lot of 3 second super glue....
now i can relax and push the pen thru my glass

Should I get this phone?

I no I no....this post is gonna receive lots of bias info but I still wanna give it a try and I hope people r honest. I have read all over in these forums, there are lots of threads like this but at points it seemed people were overly sarcastic about everything.
My contract ends in a couple of weeks. I'm gonna be switching to tmobile as its hella cheaper. Now putting specs aside, I no they are great, how is everything else in the phone.
My primary concern is the glass back. It seems like everyone is split among the issues-some have already shattered it and others haven't.
Anything else I should no before setting my mind on which phone I should get?
Thanks
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda app-developers app
Hardware is great, price is great. It appears that build quality is VERY inconsistent seeing as most of my friends and myself have seemingly perfect units, but there are still a billion new RMA threads every day. To protect the glass back it's safest to get yourself a case. If, like me, you don't like using the phone with a case on then try a pouch case to protect it in your pocket but which allows you to use it 'naked' when you want to. Mine hasn't shattered yet although there are some minute and unnoticeable scratches on the back glass; they can't be seen unless in the perfect light.
I have this phone for a few months now and I absolutely love it! It's fast it's super handsome ... it is very unique!!!
Personally I didn't have any problem with the glass... except a little scratch which I don't know what happened!! My problem with the glass is that it's super slippery! It sometimes moves even on flat surfaces like coffee table...! 2 week ago I ordered some skins for back of my phone from here:
http://dbrand.com/submodels/nexus-4/
My phone looks even better with this, looks very luxury! It has a better grip now and doesn't slip away like fish! I'm using screen protection on gorrila glass also just to avoid taking any scratch...
I didn't drop my phone on a hard floor but I did drop it on carpet and one time I kicked it and it hit the wall! Nothing happened thou
If you like taking pictures with your phone I have to say the Camera isn't the best specially in low light situations but it's not the worst either...
I like the screen better than Super Amoled cause colors are more natural but I gotta say it looks a little washed out sometimes! It could be more colorful, you can improve it with custom kernels if you are planning to root...
Everything else about this phone is 10/10... battery life, smoothness, update support, appearance and ..... I'd give this phone 9 out of 10
I was seriously considering this phone also a couple of weeks ago. Posted my thoughts on XDA and the guys convinced me to buy it. One of the best decisions ever. The phone looks stunning and the build quality is excellent on mine. So far I managed to avoid scratches by keeping the back screen protector on and putting a case on it straight away.I haven't rooted mine yet because you will get the fastest updates from Google straight. However if you do want to root it there will be a variety of alternatives available (maybe an Ubuntu OS later). So trust me it is a good phone I will give it a 9.5/10 minimum.
Don't mean to troll..still with vzw. And hella jelly of u assholes...DNA is Aiight tho...on topic was I'd buy it if I could... Might anyway!!!!

Best phone I've owned by far, still wish storage was expandable....I'm annoyed with Google for that and their dumb explanation, but other than that I love my phone!

Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda app-developers app
Check out this video, sound isn't the best but it's still quite loud. The quality can be a bit tinny at times but normally it's OK. The biggest issue with the speakers for me is the placement as when you put the phone down on a flat surface the sound is entirely muffled (and I mean entirely, there's almost nothing coming out).
Its the best phone for the value of any smart phone and if you are going TMobile pre-paid check out Straight Talk, its basically the same service but $15 a month cheaper.

Hardware is great, price is great. It appears that build quality is VERY inconsistent seeing as most of my friends and myself have seemingly perfect units, but there are still a billion new RMA threads every day. To protect the glass back it's safest to get yourself a case. If, like me, you don't like using the phone with a case on then try a pouch case to protect it in your pocket but which allows you to use it 'naked' when you want to. Mine hasn't shattered yet although there are some minute and unnoticeable scratches on the back glass; they can't be seen unless in the perfect light.

Just a comment on this, there is an idea of a "self-selection" bias. This is a forum to discuss the phone and when are people most likely to discuss something? When they have a complaint. There are likely millions of perfectly good Nexus 4s out there with owners who are blissfully unaware of what XDA is (or even what RMA means).
If you go into any forum and base your picture on complaints in a product forum youd think everything was garbage. Look at Apple forums, youd think Iphones and Ipads are nothing but terrible batteries, rattles and light bleed.
The reason your phone is good is the same reason my phone is good. The vast majority of Nexus 4s are quality.

Great for music, it shocked me how great it is for that purpose....its definitely gaining ground on iphones. Franco kernel and for a music player i went from power amp to vanilla music player but lately I've been really feeling emersys 3d music player...best audio I've heard so far through my headphones, gonna mess with it a lil while longer to test for bugs if im still happy with it I'll buy the premium version.

If you have to ask, then you don't deserve this phone. Go and get a Samsung Galaxy phone.

Hey I'm asking just to make sure that I don't make a mistake I made with HTC twice. I have never owned a Samsung phone and never will.....I sincerely hate touchwiz!

This is realy a great phone, it is fast and fluid, esasy to root and restore, no hassle with unlocking bootloaders and loosing warranty. A very good screen and very active development and a descent price for the device. I didn`t regret buying this phone for a second.

T-mobile is a bit like the mafia when it comes to the contract - be sure you are ready to make a long-term commitment

I would save the extra money and get the phone without contract and go with something like straight talk or t-mobile's
Prepaid plan.

What do u guys mean? How is it like the mafia? It's a two year contract and when it ends, it ends?!?!?!?!

Dunno what they mean but its still always a better value to get it from the play store, then you are not locked into the contract. You can use ST as an MNVO and get the same signal you would with T-Mobile but for $25 less (comparing to the contract plan) a month. If you do the math youd realize that the contract route costs more money.
Oh I see. No I'm getting a family plan and I get a 12% discount through my school.

One of the best phones I've owned. IMO: Pros: IPS, the feel, size (fits well on my hand), jb is smooth. cons: miss the home button from the iphone and spend too much time on xda.
