Ok so I used the qdltool and put android 2.2 on my dell streak. A couple problems with it tho.
1 I cant turn off my 3g like I could with android 1.6. How do I do this on 2.2.
2 when typing the keyboard disappears after I hit the period.
3 my live wallpaper stops moving after some time.
Please help....

Def update to 318. My 2.2 was hella quirky before doing that.

Go under setting/wireless & network settings/ mobile networks... And the data enabled is what turns on ur data. Unless ur talking about just turning off 3g. And I believe thy make wigets to go from edge to 3g

I go to settings>wireless and networks>mobile networks>network mode
And switch from GSM/WCDMA to GSM Only. This changes it from HSDPA/3G to Edge.
I have to admit i'm not sure why, but it does.
I only get one bar on H, but four bars on E @ my house, so I switch it all the time. I have WIFI @ home for data anyway...
I also miss having access to the network setting from the upper right corner of 1.6
Not sure why they took that away since the icons are still there...

I keep getting short network dropouts on o2 with the srreak. This is my second streak so its not an isolated case. Amyone else experienced this?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
sometimes
There is an app called No Signal Alert which notifys you when you lose signal. When I use that it logs drops, but all drops are for no more that a second and I have never dropped a call.
btw This is also a good app for monitoring yoou signal strength (http://android.modaco.com/content/dell-streak-streak-modaco-com/311813/mobile-signal-widget/)
Note: There is currently an issue with K9 email events causing the Streak to drop network connection of an instant. So I am unsure what is causing mine.
Thanks man that would make sense as i am using k9. Hopefully it will be addressed with the 2.2 update

Any app killer can be a good cause of this as sometime they kill the core process
worth looking into it
Welcome to o2, not quite the at&t of the uk but not far off

Are o2 really that bad? Been with orange for 3 years never had any problems. It must be the network as im not using an app killer

Is this just me or are other people experiencing problems with 3g randomly dropping. Ill be using the internet and next thing I know I get no service even though I'm sat in same place....
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
That is a common occurence, currently I use my iphone sim and this happens a fair bit. I believe its more of a software issue hope this will be resolved when 2.1 comes out.

Phone shows 3-4 bars of 3G and I get nothing but errors like , Page unavailable...this app needs data connection....etc. Sometimes if I disable mobile network and re-enable it it will work for a few minutes but then gone. Am I the only one ? I searched briefly . Nothing informative . Help please .
Call att and tell them to connect you to the specialist, i had the same problem and i was literally on the phone with him for 10 seconds and he fixed it

It was an issue on at&t side . Since the call its been a okay.

Sometimes it does similar to me. It will sit there and go from 3g to edge to 3g to edge. I've taken to just using 2g when I have wifi, then 3g when I want mobile data. Although now that I had the phone for a while, I kind of know where 3g is strong.

HSDPA only became available with the 2.1 upgrade, if you're still on 1.6 that will be why you don't get it.
Ah right ta. . Come on dell want 2.1 (that doesnt screw up our phones)
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Seems OK to me, 3G speeds are up to 384KB/s and you are over that by far almost 3Mbit/s so you are getting HSPA, if you run on 1.6 you won't see the H, at least on my streak running 2.1 it shows the H when there is any network activity. And for the looks of it looks like you are running on HSPA category 3.. not bad at all. If it is a category 3 it should top at somewhere around 5Mbit in optimal conditions.
That will do me !

Recently when I restarted my phone, the 3G symbol doesn't show. Switched to edge and it appeared then switched to 3G again but now can't even connect. Just shows the 4 bars with no edge/3g symbol.

Flashed anything recently? Maybe you're just in a dead zone. What rom and modem are you running?
I haven't rooted my phone yet. My reception is great but it has just acted like this lately.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
In that case I'd say its either local interference or perhaps a malfunction with the nearest cell tower. Either way if you haven't rooted yet and it persists, I'd call T-Mobile.
I can now go to edge but still can't to 3g. Thanks. I'll call them.

Also, make sure you're in a 3G area.

Must be the area as aloneinshadow suggested, unless you have changed settings, such as: use only ........ network, intended for battery save. Sorry I can't be more specific but my current rom does not have that option. I just know that 2.1 has it, if you are on Eclair.
