I'm thinking of buying a streak direct from dell to use with my 3uk sim
Looking on their website exactly what's included with the basic model as usb cable and chArger show as separate purchases
I never attach my desire to my pc so my question is does it come with a normal charger surely it does ?
Also notice that 2.1 isn't for direct purchases only o2 customers any idea when it will be released presume its delayed cos the 2.1 has screwed up most o2 customers phones - I'm hoping dell are delaying for 2.2 release
Just another question has anyone found a holder which u can clip to ur belt to carry the phone ? And has anyone bought the car kit does it rattle or is it sturdy ?

Anyone ? Someone must have bought direct from dell

It comes in a neat little box; including earphones, USB cable, and a charger!
To update to 2.1 just have a look at the appropriate thread in the forums...
Success!
i bought it directly from DELL UK. IN the box were
Dell Streak
Wall Adapter with USB on 1 end.
USB Cable to Connect the Streak to PC or Wall Charger
Headset
Sleeve to hold the streak in. Nylon i believe
As for the Case question PDAIr has got some cases that you can use or you can search ebay for easycase or something. Look in the accessories forum there are links for it.
^^ everything above but don't forget either a 16GB Micro SD card or pay extra for a 32GB Micro SD card.
I would recommend easecase off ebay where you can get a custom made leather case for £25 (though you'll have to wait about a month for it) but you can choose the orientation, have exposed or hidden magnets or buttons to secure the lap, whether it has a belt clip, pocket or a belt loop, the colour and type of leather on the outside and the colour and fabric on the inside, have your name or whatever embosed on to the front of the case and if need be, to increase the size of the case for a looser fit.
There are plenty of universal phone holders that will hold the phone one way or another (I'm currently using a clingo sticky pad holder thing) but I've read that the official car holder wobbles a lot due to the flexible arm and the weight of the phone. Tho it's worth noting that for a 12v to USB adaptor, the adaptor needs to output 1000mA and have the 2 middle pins shorted in order for the adaptor to charge the Dell. Some will already have the 2 pins shorted but a lot of them don't.
Excellent thanks just how stable is 1.6 cos I know on my hero it was horrible Bluetooth would never work properly ....

I find connecting to audio devices is fine (mine auto connects to my car stereo whenever I get in and start the car) but I have had a couple of issues transfering items via bluetooth to other devices. Android doesn't seem to allow file transfer by default but you can download bluetooth file transfer off the market for free and it works most of the time, but sometimes it just doesn't want to play. Also, transfering items eats up battery big time!
When I use my sprint charger everything is fine I can use the phone/screen with no problems...but any other micro usb causes the phone to lock up on the screen....any1 else having this problem? Any solution?

I made a post about this the other day. Mine seems completely random. My phone will completely lock up and it requires a battery pull. I can go a week using the same charger and it may not do it then out the blue it will lock up.

I had the same problem using a clone travel charger from ebay. I also had a clone usb cable that won't recognize the Epic as a mass storage. I bought from this guy on ebay that sells OEM Samsung accessories and they all work perfectly for me.
Be very careful with these things, folks... many charges can have terrible voltage regulators on them. You don't want to kill a very nice phone now, do you. Stick with a good charger and cable. I use the stock cable and the Palm Pre charger cable. I've never had screen issues or lockups with other chargers, but I only use the Palm and Samsung chargers, to be honest.
Yes, be wary of cheapo chargers!
I was able to get a OEM Blackberry MicroUSB charger off amazon for about 4 bucks shipped and it works fine to charge my Epic. My friend also gave me one of her extra HTC chargers which came with her EVO and they also work fine.
my charger is a 800ma sanyo which should not cause issues. I have not had the issue within the past week either.
Guys, check the output voltage of your chargers... specially on the cheap ones. its supposed to be no more than 5V. I broke my Hero's screen with a cheap charger with 5.5 V output. It starts by acting weird , then it looses touch capability when its connected and then stops working at all...
It's probably easier to show what's happening with a video:
This happens when charging my phone. But only when placed on a hard surface.
Also when the phone is resting on a surface, it doesn't respond to my touch input.
It acts as if there is an invisible hand touching the screen in random places very rapidly.
I hope this isn't a defective screen, because I'm sure this isn't normal behavior.
My problem is almost exactly the same as this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846941, but the explanation doesn't fit in my case, as it's very hot here (high 30's C), with almost 100% humidity, and the phone isn't the same as mine.
Has anyone had a problem like this with the DHD?
On a side note, does anyone else think of "Dial Home Device" from Stargate when they see DHD, or is it just me?
Mine started doing this a while ago. Also only when charging, and only on a hard surface. Bit annoying, but I can get round is easily. Would be interesting to know what causes it though...

Mine does this when I'm using a cheap ebay charging cable. It's ok when using a genuine HTC cable.

Just tested mine again, and it seems ok. Very weird. Was using the same cable too (HTC one). Maybe it bugs out sometimes when it's next to my PC. Seems ok right now.

I've just bought 2 cables (cheap, retractable) from ebay for emergency use... :'(
Seen demo/display phone acting like that in best buy although phone wasn't flat but on sort of a stand and always on charge...

It has been discussed and confirmed earlier. It happens with cheap non-genuine chargers.
The solution is to use only the genuine charger.
I should add I do have a cheap charger and data cable from ebay that do work ok, so this problem is not universal across all non-HTC accessories.

Lol!
I only use genuine charger and battery no matter what but I hope the cheap cable would not cause this. It's just a cable anyway...
By the way, can you provide the link for the said discussion for my joy reading?
Thanks!
I had this the other day I was holding the phone and had it plug in the HTC charger. I was browsing the web and could not move up and down it just zoomed in or out like I had two fingers on-screen I restarted the phone but still did it I then unplugged it and it was ok.

Just some extra details here, the charger I was using in the video was a generic usb charger, but using the genuine charger doesn't stop the problem.
The screen is in perfect condition, not a single scratch, phone is less than two months old and I only have a genuine cable.
Also this happens on ANY hard surface, a book, tiles, wood, but soft things like wool or upholstery don't cause any problems.

Sounds like a proximity sensor issue.
I had this exact same problem as shown on the video on both the HD2 I had previously and the DHD. In both cases the culprit was not the cable but a cheap charger.
What the...never seen s.th. like this before...
Faulty phones?

Same **** here ;-(
Happens when using a eBay noname docking station! Phone is not laying on a surface! The last time i charged with this docking station there was no problem.
I will try the htc charger...
Slightly off topic but whilst my DHD is charging, if I run my fingers across the aluminum body it feels like its vibrating. I had this on my Hero too.
I'm almost positive its the current, as unplugging it stops the "vibration".
the erratic behavior of the DHD is caused by improper grounding, as the small current from the ungrounded charger is passed on to the phone's body, mostly by a other then HTC cable, there will be a current on the phone, small, but none the less there, as the digitizer measures the electric resistance against the screen on spots, as a human finger(flesh somewhat differs from nothing or non organic objects touching it) it measures a touch, this small current also can give a false touch, thus creating this erratic behavior.
hope this explains it clearly to you all.
so, if you properly ground the phone somehow, it will stop
In some of the post i had read that touch sensitivity is affected largely when charging the note.I was wondering how mine works smooth without any problem ?
But once i connected galaxy s's charger to note and it influenced the note sensitivity, some touches dint get recognised, too much lag, slow......
When connected back to original charger, was working fine again.
So to summarize, original Note charger doesn't cause any problem with note, but if you connect other android charger to it, it affects touch sensitivity.
I am using an LG adapter since the original that came with Note has a hissing sound when not in charge, and its working fine with no probs.
My charger is the opposite. My Note charger is so bad that when my morning alarm goes off I have to unplug the phone because it doesn't recognise my finger sliding across the screen. I am now using my old iphone charger which is perfect.
To find which was the best I tested them all plugged in individually and used the touch and s-pen tests using the *#0*# test screen.
I tested quite a few various usb chargers that I had around the house and all had different results.
I have encountered this issue with the original charger too. not sure if its an issue with the lcd screen because i previously went to the service centre and apparently they told me they changed my lcd screen and it has in fact gotten worse after the servicing.
any idea what my next step should be?
Anyone using a charger that's under the 1A rating as the original has? I have a bunch of 700 mAh Samsung ones and an afraid to use a lower voltage on the the 2500 mAh battery...

What I heard, its normal that touch sensitive got affected, when using the phone, while charging and that's one of the flaw with AMOLED screens.
Maybe someone can confirm it?

they all deliver the same voltage (5V). the Mah rating just changes how fast it charges up.
PANTS !!!!!
The note behaves this way with various roms, mainly KL based, with or without usb cable plugged in and regardless of what charger you use.
You should check these things first, hence why KL7 was pulled by samsung.
I'm using my HD2 charger, and it seems okay.
Can any other ex-HD2 users confirm this?
I used and old SGS charger for a while.. And a very small part of the touchscreen became unusable while charging.. With the charger that i got with the Gnote that problem doesnt exist..
I used the Samsung charger that came with my note for awhile but switched back to my original iPhone charger(The bigger one not the small new ones) both worked fine no issues with the screen or anything. Do notice that the Samsung charger gets hot after a full charge and my iPhone charger didn't other than that no issues.

It's not just AMOLED screens, but rather many touch screen smartphones. My Original Droid and my current Droid X both exhibit touch screen abnormalities when plugged in. I have also heard of iPhones exhibiting issues as well. I've heard changing out chargers does help.
I've also been using my iPhone charger and have not expeirenced any problems with the sensitivity of the screen.
I charge my SGN at night.
I have noticed that my Note gets 41 degree Celcius next morning using an SG2 charger.
On the other hand, if I use a third party charger - 23 degree Celcius next morning.
I have been using a 550ma Sony Ericsson charger for a couple of months and i have had no problems, I have never used the htc supplied one.

I use my Note II as a modem and I'm getting really annoyed with the included USB lead falling out - it feels like looking at it too hard will cause it!
The curve of the bezel stops the lead fully engaging
happens to me too
I think it has been designed this way so that if you trip over it you are less likely to cause the note to fall off of a desk or wherever its sat.
Me too. The usb lead comes out very easily.
I thought at the begining it was broken but its good to know it is not just me...
I have problems connecting it to a philips desk clock and charger I have...

Definitely a thing to be careful of when using odin.. you do NOT want the cable to pop out mid-flash...

I've trimmed a bit of the plastic casing off the cable to make it seat better. The side that faces the same way as the screen.

same here, I bought a charging dock on ebay (£6) so it's firmly connected when synching or copying data.
Don't know whether this is intentional or bad design, looking at the overall build quality though I believe it's the former.
I must have a weird note2. The cable fits snuggly and requires a small amount of force to remove it.
Admittedly I am not using the cable supplied with the note2 (I'm using the one that came with the GS3) so maybe it is the cable.
