Mods : I know this is the incorrect forum, because there isnt a Streak 7 forum yet.
It looks like this will be a tablet with no phone capabilities.
Let's start the "install phone.apk thread", like the galaxy tab.
Im curious to see if it can also work on AT&T.
there will probably be somthing better very soon though.
PS feel free to move this to the new Streak 7 thread when created.

Too bad it Xoomed to 10.1 inches. The Asus MeMo looks neat though.

'MeMo' something to take note of?
I like the stylist drawing ability that it has. Pressure sensitive.

On Tmo's FB page yesterday they introduced the Streak 7 as a 4G tablet. I will have as soon as its available.

My cousin took my Streak from me so I'm in a position now when I have to make the next choice. Streak was totally optimal for me but the Streak 7 seems good too. I will get it if I can use it as a regular HUGE phone with simcard, 3g and stuff...
I am for it too as long as the phone can be made to function. It would be the largest thing that I could deal with on a day to day basis tho.......... The HTC Shift would have been next to perfect if the phone and bluetooth had worked right.
Later..........
Both tablet and phone. Just like Streak 5!!!

19:22:27 John Christopher S You're welcome. Have a goo day Azamat
19:22:59 Azamat I'll try, thanx -18C's too cold for, but I'll try
I want to believe it, but those service reps have been wrong too many times.
We will see, getting to work on ATT, that may be the issue. I'll be watching. Hopfully its not too much more than $330 w/o T Mobile contract.
I do hope it's going to work as a phone too...
But I don't really like what I see on this picture...
http://images.intomobile.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Dell-streak7.jpg
If you check the left side you won't find any dynamic there...and for the right side...you won't find any mic there...
Don't tell me it's going to be just data tablet...

Couldn't you just Bluetooth it? I don't know if I would hold a 7" device to my head....
With this tablet marketing it's video chat capabilities - I have to guess that it will have a Mic.
Agreed...it has to have a microphone.
That is just a render anyway...not an actual pic. so who knows at this point.
Supposed to be out next wed. so not too long to wait for the rest of the details.

hey guys, i too am anxiously awaiting this phone... and i do say phone because on the tmo website, the dell streak 7 is in the phone catagory.... not the tablet catagory. however, nothing is certain in this world, im just pointing out some observations.
ok bad news this morning. i had been surfing the internet for answers or insight on this, and found vids... none of which look like the streak 7 has an ear piece of any sort.... so i called t mobile and the rep said it will be a tablet... no phone caps. DAMNIT
If running 2.2, you should be able to root it... Why couldn't we use DJ Steves roms and get everything we need baked in? I have a streak 5 running tmobile 3g, works great... I would just like the bigger screen size. Originally...i had to have tmobile re provision my account...they saw my streak as a tablet...could only connect to redirect page for webconnect devices...they fixed it...been running 3g since last august. Steves rom should re enable phone capabilities. That would be sweet.

If The Man Steve would be able to unlock phone capabilities on Streak I would consider trying to swap Streak 7's display to Nook Color's...

The 7 uses a totally different chipset
Brand new Streak 7 (I don't understand why there is T-Mobile stuff all over it)
version 2.2
Build number 14291
Windows 7 computer
I'm so frustrated. Google driver is installed. Superoneclick will not root it. Seems like I've tried everything. Different versions, in and out of debug mode, pull the usb cable now, blah, blah, blah. Please help if you can. I'm new to android, former apple guy. I paid almost $500 for this tablet, yet seems like tmobile owns it. Rooting is manditory. Hacking was so much easier with an apple. If I can't get this thing rooted, I'll be returning it. Please help!
these are the the streak forums, not streak 7

Oops. Sorry.
Hi all! I bought a Streak 7 almost a month ago now and about 2 weeks ago it stopped charging so I had to send it to Dell to get repaired and yesterday I got my device back and there was a note in the box saying it had been repaired. When I turned the Streak 7 on it had about 67% battery left so I figured that I would go ahead and plug it in so that it would be charged all of the way and guess what... The device would not charge again. I called Dell back to see what I could do now. The guy stated he would send me a different charger and USB cable and I told him I had already been sent a new charger and he than says he needs to talk to his supervisor and puts me on hold. He comes back and says he has been told to send me a new Streak 7 and it should fix the problem. Let's hope that it does or I will not buy another Dell Tablet..
No reason to believe a new tablet wouldn't fix the issue.

Tanner,
That sucks, hope you get it sorted soon. A new DS7 should do the trick and you'll be back up and running again.

I'll believe it when I see it, AND when Stephen has gotten his hands on it, AND when I've got a ported version for my 4G 7

I'm not sure why they wouldn't update both at the same time. Some websites have said that T-Mobile is not supporting the S7 any more, but it is still for sale on their site.

Looks like they have left over inventory. Its a shame that neither Dell nor T-Mobile wants to promote their products. I don't recall ever seeing an add for the Dell Streak 7. How can people buy them if they don't know anything about it. I have to say Samsung & Apple is doing a great job at advertising their product.

Actually I think they are refurbs. But the point is that if they are still selling it they should be supporting it with updates.
Hi everyone I just wanted to confirm that the HC 3.2 for DS7 is out in UK.
Not sure if it's UK only or whole UE.
I've got wi-fi only wersion. If you have one check your update today
Btw; It's awesome !
hi im in England and got the honeycomb update yesterday oct 3 works fine
Please be waiting for me when I get home.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Yeah mine was ready yesterday as well but I couldn't upgrade because of low battery. So i charged it up over night and did it this morning ;]
The upgrade was also available for my device yesterday evening.
Now I'm a happy honeycomb user
Pros: Everything is faster now. Does honeycomb use both CPU cores?
I can now install applications which were not compatible when my device was on android 2.2
Cons: I think the screen clarity is worst than before. The on screen fonts and icons/widgets were better in android 2.2, most probably cause there are smaller now
Does anyone know will the Over The Air update work on a rooted DS7, or do you have to unroot it in order to update. I am assuming that the rooted DS7 will see the update because it is just a website, right?
Is this only available in Europe? Or will I be crying tears of joy here when I get home.

You will most likely have to unroot. I wouldn't attempt it on a rooted device.

Root = updated su permissions + superuser.apk. Neither would affect it.
On a X.X.X to X.X.Y upgrade, you'll also have to be concerned about if you removed apk's or otherwise modified things.
In the case of Froyo to Honeycomb, I'm pretty sure it's going to nuke /system entirely and that won't matter at all.
Gents, can anyone give download link for wifi only version ? or at least give version and build numbers ?

I was thinking along the same path. Thanks for confirming it.
being rooted NEVER matters to the ota updates on dell devices, the only thing that matters is having the stock recovery installed.
If whoever got the wifi version could post any details about their old rom version or the newly recieved one I can prepare update notes
i just hacked the stock recovery so i could update to this http://mobileupdate.dell.com/?version=GLUNB1A334000&servicetag=20QBPQ1 witch is the wifi version

Hey guys, tried searching but could not find an answer. Wanted to know if the phone feature worked on the original dell streak 7 froyo operating system? A friend of mine stated that it did and they made calls when they first bought the dell streak 7, im not sure if their confused, but is this possible? If so, where can I find the package to install. I am currently on Honeycomb 3.2. Please help, thanks!
Not over cellular, the modem itself does not support cell calls without hax.
He likely used some sort of voip service
Oh, that sucks man!! So I am guessing that no one has never hacked it at this point, not even the great Steve.. yet? =D
