No it's just one little piece. The streak is an awesome phone, but I've never used the x10i so I won't compare.

X10a vs. X10i housing

I have a damaged X10a housing from rogers but I think I'm getting another housing for it. is there a difference between a X10a n a X10i? I'm thinking of getting one off of ebay but I don't know if their real either...

To my understanding, there is no physical difference between the X10a and X10i. The only difference is the the network bands they run on.

Not at all, I'm positive you can use the housing for it fine. Go for it buddy

How hard is it to change housings? Thinking of changing from White to black
Mckebapp did a good job on taking X10 apaort, please refer to the following link with screenshots

If you are going to buy the housing form dealextreme, do keep in mind that it only come with housing, and it does not come with the Touch screen glass.
The hardest part is to separate your original touch screen glass, becareful when you do that, don't break it.
Also, the color of the touch screen glass will be different if you are thinking of changing the color of the housing.
To OP, what color is your usb port cap? willing to part it out?
Like all SE phones dismantling the phone is easy, but removing the glass digitizer off the fascia can be tricky, and housings advertised at dealextreme are the same as on ebay, and i doubt the replacement housings have any ready adhesive to stick your digitizer back on...
Thanks guys, you have no cluehow helpfull this was, I do appreciate it greatly

Lol you're a bit late mate.

I would be curious to see if it is actual SE OEM housing or a copy. My suggestion is to contact SE and get a price on the actual housing. The copies can sometimes leave a bit to be desired. OR find someone who bought one and see how the colors match up. That can be a good way to find out if they are OEM or no. Back cover has production numbers on it.
Good luck

Just got the Streak

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.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
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]?.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
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.

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

ah - ok i misunderstood you.
may be u can do something yourself with a small piece of rubber, a knife and some glue
i see broken dvp @ ebay but they still cost around 60-90 € thats to expensive just for a button

I would have got straight on the Phone and it would be on the way back already!
Yes,return it back to sony ,shame on the technician who worked on it !!
OMG, return it asap. What a service...
This is why I do not want to send my arc back. I'd rather have a crack than this poor service.
But I should not have the crack!
Definitely raise a complaint!

nice. that just shows how many soppurt they got for our old devices.
i think i´ll stay away from sony from now. they´re producing more devices as they can handle to do good software updates. even in our updated 1.13 ICS release the notification led is not working and our device is over 2 years old now.
