When I go on facebook it tells me I'm using an Optimus Black. When I use the MLB App it tells me I'm using an HTC phone. And when I send an e-mail it says that I'm sending it from my Galaxy S phone.
Is there any setting I can change so that apps either see it as the Streak or mask it so that apps that don't support the streak will provide support to it. (i.e. the MLB TV app doesn't support video on the streak.)
I am running StreakDroid 1.9.0
Thanks.
Streakdroid has email app ported from samsung galaxy tablet. That is why when you send email it says sending from galaxy s. You should be able to change it in the settings where it says signature or something like that.
Oh I k.ow about the signature I was just curious about other apps... Possibly tricking then into thinking.i have a supported phone and such.

Has anyone else found that some of the apps were/are not accessible from the market.
Pre 2.1 it was pandora, after 2.1 its myplayer amongst others.
I'm guessing dell haas blocked these some how?
Any one got any info on it?

Also noticed a paid app called national rail is missing from my download list and the market.

Found it out.....
Apparently the new rom needs to be registered with google for it to have full access. Well at least that what the htc replied in a forum reply in the link below. Sounds like a way that the providers can limit or access to bandwidth hungry apps

Am i being very naive here? I assumed my streak would make video calls out of the box but i cant find the option for it. Is this something android is lacking? My touch hd did it straight from the dailer.

Get fring app or qik app then you can video call.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Yeah, I don't think the Streak can, the only time I've seen the front camera being used for video calls is with it was used with other apps like Fring I think (I could be wrong though....not really tried myself).
EDIT: Oops, someone beat me to it
Im reluctant to sign up to fring. is there a reason why streak cant make video calls natively? My last 4 phones could?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Dell didn't ads the support for this in the dialer. So you have to wait for someone to either port over one or create one... Other than that your options are bring and qik, which doesn't support the front can yet but I emailed them and got a reply about two weeks ago saying they're working on it

Ok so the OTA 2.2 should be around the month.
I was just wondering is there an android app or program for the pc to back up the current state of my phone such as all apps and preferences so i dont have to start from scratch after the update?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
When I tried to update to the unofficial 2.2 (and failed ) titanium backup did the trick. Reloaded all apps with settings, just had to rebuild my screen layouts. Problem is most of the backup programs require root. Accordin to streaksmart.com the "dell insider" was not able to root the official build. Not to say the smart people on these forums wont have that figured out in no time after its released: )

Sorry. Didnt read completely. Don't know of one for the PC...

Dell have said that they will tell you how to back up all your data before applying the update so maybe they have a program they are sending with the update
Theres a free dell backup app on the market now specifically for the streak so problem solved

Facebook webpage seem to think I have a Desire HD!
At the bottom of the website it says 'Download facebook for your Desire HD'
It did however say Dell Streak on 1.6
I'm not worried about it just wonder why.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Mine alsosays the same thing. When I first revived my Streak when I was still on 1.6 it recognized it as the Streak. But from your post it looks like your on 1.6 still so it's probally something on Facebooks end.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
I have noticed, while using the stock 1.6 ROM, that facebook always opens in mobile mode. After I tap the "Full Site" link and get transferred... the page is ALWAYS old! I click on "most recent" but nothing happens, so I end up stuck on an old page.
I have found a workaround.
After I click "most recent" the screen doesn't update however the addressbar DOES change. Next I pull up a favorite website (ex.MustangsForums etc.) and go to that page. Once on that second page I pull up the history. I click on the facebook page that I just left. The browser then sends me to the "most recent," properly updated facebook page.
It's a pain but it works. I'm on my 5th day with Streak (& android), with stock 1.6 ROM & default web browser.
Facebook recognizes it as a desire because that is the 2.2 image that steve has modified for the streak

I had the same on mine using official o2 2.2 so it's not just a streakdroid thing. The stock browser is rubbish at avoiding mobile pages. Typing about:debug into the address bar (nothing will appear to happen) then going into settings and uastring will allow you to change the default browser mode, but this didn't change much for me. The best way to get the full Facebook is to use skyfire and set it to desktop mode. The bookmark you use can take some fiddling to get the full page and "most recent" on your wall, the bookmark I have saved is http://www.facebook.com/?sk=lf

you set up an account.....checked your email...and should have 2 user names,one that yours,and one to give to someone else to use
did the other person downloaad app for phone/pc and put in the 2nd name you recieved in your email(they don't have to sign up for ana ccount,just dled the app)
and they and you have your password in?.....its the same for both of you
try to call me at husaberg1228230
the real problem with this app,is its a server based client,and they only give you a 10 day trail to use theres.....i have my own website,so i was going to see if i can use it,but i might not since its not a dedicated server....but ill check it out
the real deal is dell/google/att need to get their act together and quit trying to subsidize every aspect of mobile technologies....and give us(quit blocking) android guys video conferencing : )....haha
like video calling in skype and gmail could already be used to go to phones,and not just another pc....but they block its use(implemation)in the software of cell phones
I concur. I tried it today with a an iphone 4 buddy and worked well. He was on wifi and I was on 3g then I switched to wifi also and even better. Finally - I have an option!!!
