I am so happy with my purchase. A friend of mine grabbed one off craigslist for me in Ohio and mailed it down. The screen size is stupendous! I am just enamored by the amount of real estate I have. I was worried about the picture quality in comparison to my Vibrant, but it doesn't seem as drastic as I thought it would be.
Thanks for all the help and I look forward to contributing however I can.
Can you tell us what rom is on it?
Sure tell me how and ill gladly provide.

that is completely new to us, could you possibly make a nandroid dump of it?
If you dont know how you can use multirecoveryflasher in the android dev forum to easily install streakmod to do that
Could you also post the build number?
Build number "simple streak 1.2"
Ill need help with nandroid. Is that an app?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA Premium App
Oh simple streak is already installed on top of it?
It's one of the functions of a custom recovery, lets you restore to a previously working copy that you made earlier if something breaks.
If you have simple streak installed you prob already have streakmod installed
I bought it off someone on craigslist so it's possible. Is this good or bad?
I'm also having an issue with the phone charging, but not connecting to my pc. Any thoughts?

It's simply a custom rom, for the charging part are you sure the cable is snug? Does it look damaged?
It is not an easy slide in kind of friction, but nothing obstructs entry; firm.
How do the pins look inside your streaks? Some of mine seem recessed at odd intervals

I'm having the same problem with my streak. It will only charge to 75% maybe and will constantly flash charge/discharge while plugged in to my wall, computer, or car charger. I have four different cables so its not the cable and I have two different batteries. good thing I bought a external charger with a second battery. I think my problem is with Simply Streak... it could be yours to.
brand new from cinci bell
tried to root now stuck at dell logo. already tried all other update.pkgs with error please help if you can.
Long of it short. Dell got me a battery and cable in 2 days. It did not fix the problem so a new replacement Cincy Bell phone is en-route to my place. I ve heard they have poor customer service, but it seems fine to me.
EDIT: Problem solved it wasn't locked again.
If you're getting a new cincy bell one and not a generic AWS or unlocked one,
could you hold off on flashing stuff to it when it arrives? I'm still curious about the rom on it.
i need that rom too thinking its the only fix any one seen the cinci bell update.pkg

Yes I can. They are sending me another Cincy bell model. I refuse to accept an ATT one and run Edge. I could've bought one new for next to nothing if thats what I wanted.
In re: Recharging problem; I found out that in order to recharge my Streak I had to use only the Dell OEM USB AC adapter. In addition to the Dell OEM I have several AC adapters/USB cables (Blackberry, Motorola, Apple) none of which will supply the correct voltage/amperage for the Streak.

Seriously Just buy a rebel sim card.
Spent £15 on it yesterday arrived today.
Used a pair of wire snips to cut out the square, got a small piece of sellotape and taped it on.
put it in my dell and bingo! one dell streak with a t-mobile sim working 100%
:-D
Lets see how you get on after a few days before your smile gets too big.
I've given up on the rebelsim after firmware 1.2 let me down (lost data connection)
Good luck, keep us posted

Been using rebel ii for three weeks, it's a great piece of kit.
Apart from seeing the 3 logo on the top bar you wouldn't even know the difference.
You need to edit your post title as its misleading i thought you had unlocked a streak not a rebel Sim thats like old news, 6 months old news but seriously change your Title mate

Hey, yeah this is true.
But rebel sim 1.1 at the time (about a month ago) had LOADS of issues with the dell.
So I lost interest in it.
And after searching I found that the new firmware version of the rebel sim (1.2) works flawlessly with the streak now.
So just wanted to give people a heads up again.
So have the title read "" Rebel sim firmware 1.2"" and it is not an unlock its just a way of makeing the sim card work with the streak has nothing to do with an unlock
After being suspended a third time (this time after about a month of service) I'm decided to sell my Streak. It's got a fresh copy of 2.2 and is suuuuuper fast. This phone is an Unlocked Beta from the Dell sponsored run in Austin Texas. It should work on Rogers in Canada, but won't work on AT&T... unless you know how to get around the block.
I can send you pics if you'd like. PM me for details.
Includes streak, soft pouch, usb cable, earbuds, US wall adapter, box and docs. Th condition is very good.
Price is $475 shipped anywhere.
I can trade a captivate for the streak. I am wanting a streak..

Here is my question for you, would it work on T-mobile? Whether it is Edge or 3-G isn't really my biggest concern.

I bought beta streak with 1.5 firmware from local craigslist. I want to upgrade to 1.6 or later. Not seeing fastboot mode option when I start with camera pressed, white screen gives me bunch of options to test but no fastboot. Any help to upgrade is greatly appreciated. Thanks
Not allowed to sell outside the market place

Well I have been reading on the blogs that dell will be selling unlocked streaks with froyo.....but I just bought a beta streak on eBay..(jumped the gun on it too soon i guess)..so I am wondering what are some limitations with using a beta streak....is it worthless now....should I sell it? I do not really need to have at&t cause i just plan to use it as a data and multimedia device.....any help or tips will be helpful.

As far as I know the only downside (as long as there's nothing wrong with the one you buy) is that the 3g/mobile side has been disabled by AT&T. I believe that you can use it on some other networks if it's been unlocked and of course wifi works.
Since beta Streaks are not meant to be sold on, a possible problem may come later for you if Dell decide to deactivate them.
I am in the same situation like you. Just purchased one which has lable called Engineering Sample. It works with AT&T sim card, but has no idea about 3G because
I never subscribe data plan.
It has Android 1.6.
No warranty on anything, don't even call Dell. spare parts are on you, as well as fixing it. You fugg it, you fix it or sell it to the community If you're on T-mo then you won't have 3G unless you get a unicorn like Streak AWS version, and what was previously mentioned, not working on AT&T, besides that you get Steve's Froyo on it and you have a marvelous piece of equipment.
my buddies and I all have the Streak here before it got release here in Canada....not a single problem with it.
Beta Streak here, been using for 4 or 5 months now, no problems whatsoever except for the silver Dell logo on back coming unglued and coming off.
Running Steve's 1.4.6 now, the O2 2.1 before that. Great piece of kit. *knocks on wood* Been using on TMO US the whole time. I love it!
Wow glad to hear that I got some good feedback can't wait till mine comes in but I am kind of wondering will my rebel sim do anything with this dell streak I'm guessing since my beta streak is unlocked I kind of have no use for the rebel sim now

anyone have a reputable site or a way i can unlock this phone? i called dell, they called ATT while i was online with them.. they say they have to open a case to get the code from dell and it will take 7-10days.. one ebay site i emailed said $41 to unlock it and will take up to 5days would love to start using this thing before 7-10 days.. any help would be appreciated
Save yourself the forty bucks and wait an extra five days! Lol.
There's very few sites out there that provide unlock codes for Streaks right now. And the very few that do, charge pretty exorbitant prices.
yeah that sux.. owell hopefully they will get it to me sooner then 7-10days!

Don't hold your breath. I've opened three cases with AT&T and none of them have been fruitful. I've also tried paying unlocking sites although they just refunded my money because they couldn't get a code.
At this stage, the white Streak appears to not be unlockable as there are no reports of ANYONE successfully unlocking one.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Others may chime in with success stories of unlocking the black Streak and tell you unlocking will be simple. All I will say is that I managed to get 2 black Streaks unlocked and was once of the first to get a white version, and I'm still using a rebelsim :-(

This is my first post in the forum. But let me tell you guys, I have a white dell streak unlock from att. This is what I did...call dell and tell them that I bought the streak from best buy and have them call att for a case. Tell dell rep that I will be using the streak over sea, and will be leaving very soon...So dell rep call att and told them to speed up the process and I got it next day

Anyone look in the nv_ram file? I know the galaxy s phones have the unlock code in plain text. Anyone try that route and see if it were possible?

does the rebel sim work with froyo 2.2? i was reading it wasnt working with 2.2 only 2.1? i mean i guess ill see what happens with att, they said id have the unlock code by new years day so...
The white one is unlockable. I am using one right now. I boughr from bestbuy for the pull priced. Called AT&T and asked for the unlock code. Was on hold for.about 5 minutes. Told me it wasn't in the system. That a case neeses to be open.and I needed to fax some over the receipt and a cover page to the unlock department. 4 days later I get a email from them with the unlock code. What's weird is that I have had two streaks that I got from dell and AT&T gave me the code on the spot.

I am writing now from the white unlocked streak. same procedure as always except for the fact that the unlock code needs to be issued by dell.

well thats whats happening now.. called dell 6 days ago and just got the email last night from at&t saying fax over the receipt and all.. problem is i bought the phone used, so unless i can just make up a receipt i dont see them handing over the code .. ive emailed a few of the ebay unlock guys and all of them said after checking my imei# that there is no code available.. so im kinda stuck at this point!
Hello everyone
here is my story with the Dell Streak
in Feb , i received a new UNLOCKED Dell Streak and it was working great with me and i was VERY Happy with it
in beginning of March , the device suddenly doesn't charged for no freaking reason
i tried to plug it to wall , PC , powered-USB hub , 3rd parity charges , it just wornt charge
i called Dell and they replaced it with new one
The old one Firmware was 318 Build 12821
BUT
The new one comes with 340 and baseband end with 31 which is AT&T
also the Portable hotspot and switching 2G to 3G features doesn't appear in the settings at all
also the access points are locked and can't be changed
So the question is , is there anyway to change this freaking firmware and go back to 318 or the new one 345??
Waiting for your response and advice
Thanks in advanced
Yes, you can flash either rom using fastboo, or call Dell and tell them they were suppose to send you an unlocked Streak. Ask for another Streak.
