Well what now! - Dell Streak 7

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.

This is seriously urgent!

I finally got a chance to order a touchpad through hp's site.
I almost got to the end when it said something like:
Thank you for choosing HP your order has been place blah blah blah
I hit next after refreshing for 15mins. It says that they had an issue processing the credit card and gave me 4 options
Edit billing info
Change payment option
And two others I forgot.
As I went to edit the billing info my pc shut off, ruining everything
I'm wondering if my order was actually placed. Please someone help.
There's no way to login to the business sit with the username because I registered during the process
Help please!
bump-uh-dump
How are we suppose to help? Don't you usually get a confirmation email. If you didn't get one, order again.
The thing is I got an order number but never got a chance to write it down. I don't want to Be double charged.
i would call hp but i would just completely stay away from the touchpad i know its webos but it was incredibly buggy and they didnt sell any of them so itll probably be eold sometime soon
If I can get it for 100 I'm taking it
Iwait 25 mins to talk to someone who just kept saying do the transaction again. They have no idea that it took me 2 hours to get one. Thanks again guys
You do know the touchpad n webos just got axed right?

Just contact HP.

Seriously ... if it would come down to like $150 ... I might buy one. It can run Android apps so I'm all good with that. I was looking for a tablet for a long time before I bought my laptop (not much of a laptop considering it's an 18 incher). Although I would still like something with a screen larger than my phones while chilling on the couch.
I hear bestbuy was dumping those. Trying to make HP take em back for not selling...nut for 150 is take one haha
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
I heard Bestbuy will be selling them in the store on the East Coast (I'm in NJ) tomorrow. I ordered it of the SMB site but they say it was a glitch. They said they will receive a new stock next week, and my order says it will arrive around the 26th so I'm confident the order is firm
Check your credit card for purchases
HP Touchpad for $100
GOD DAMN IT!!! My friend just told me that Best Buy and HP are selling HP Touchpad's for $100. I just checked online and they are all sold out and all the Best Buy's close to me are sold out also. The Best Buy close to my work has them in stock, hopefully they will continue to have them in stock when I go over tomorrow during lunch.
There are also developers who are trying to get Android on the Touchpad. Think about it, a $100 tablet running Honeycomb/Ice Cream Sandwich.

[Q] Dell Streak 7 Delivery Date

Ordered a DS7 on 11/17 and was given an EDD for 12/27, I've been on the Dell Forums and a few people have claimed the same as well (Give or take a few days). Some have called Customer Service (My boyfriend has as well and hasn't gotten anywhere with them!), some have Emailed. Does anyone know what is going on? Any help would be appreciated.

If you've been on the Dell forums, then did you order it from Dell? If so, the 12/27 is probably because they are waiting on returns from stores since they announced the Streak 7 was discontinued.
Yeah I ordered it from their website on 11/17. They gave the EDD for 12/27 before they were discontinued. But them waiting for returns makes sense. I've also heard QVC sold 30,000 of them and that Best Buy sold a lot on Black Friday. The there's also a rumor in the boards that the the screen and battery life are vein worked on but I'm not holding my breath for that haha
Weirdest thing, went on their site today and my order was canceled then a new order was set up (still the tablet that I wanted) and now it's being shipped and should be here by Monday! I'm excited but at the same time this has been the weirdest online ordering experience I have ever had!

When your new s7 arrives, you should check what rom is preinstalled and report back
I bought my Dell Streak 7 on 11/25 and the estimated delivery was 12/26. Was not happy.
Then a week ago I got a email saying my order was changed. Called Dell, they canceled and re-submitted the order he said and the new delivery date was 1/15.
Was REALLY HOT after that. Went to 5 different people letting them know they ruined my kids Christmas (ok not my kid, but mine!)
I got tired of waiting on the last guy when I called on Thursday and was too busy at work to deal with them and figured the weekend is probably not the best time to rip a new one on someone, so was going to call today. Either I made a impression on someone or they just hurried things up but Fedex dropped off a dell streak at my house this morning. running 3.2.
Thought I'd let you guys know.
Good luck with your orders.
If it was preinstalled, what rom was it exactly? 506 or 507 I presume?
Not sure what number your looking for. I'm used to working with Phones.. My first tablet.
Android version 3.2
Kernel Version 2.6.36.3
OEM version GLUNB1A351230
Build Number 20031
I assume you would be looking for the build number.
Mine is a Wifi only version.
Now to get this stock Dell crap off. Looks like garbage compared to my samsung epic 4g. Hate how things are reversed. Status bar on bottom, delete when holding a widget is on top. and Man,, adding a widget.. Thats the worst.
Hope those of you waiting get your streak soon.
Merry Christmas
Well you have a rom that noone else does, would you be willing to make a nandroid or nvflash copy before modifying it?
Just as much if you dont and you break something, you'd be stuck downgrading to an older version.
The easy way is to use clockwork mod and make a nandroid, but that would mean losing the stock recovery.
If you are comfortable with using nvflash that can dump everything safely.
If you can meet on #dellstreak7 on freenode I can walk you though either process
Edit: it's also more or less completely 3.2 stock, there's absolutely nothing noticable changed, if it wasnt for the preinstalled stage widgets it might as well be a stock experience minus the quick updates (3.2.2 has been out for a while and 3.2.4 just released recently)
Got the same specs as mobilemedic

Must be gone. Shows $193 now.
Perhap he means $125? There's some used/refurbs in the $120 range, a new one at that wouldnt be that unreasonable.
That's too bad though, I could definitely use a 2nd unit as a dev unit.
I'm already pushing my main one further then I'd like as I do use it for more important things.

Your right, it is gone! It was a new one.
Shipping was only $4.70 too.
I have made a deal trading my old Tmobile Sensation for another tablet I have left TMobile all the way. My Streak is technically available. I will know more probably Thursday when the traded tablet gets sent. I just returned the Streak back to Froyo via Giveens download. I have a 4G SD Card with it and I can.say all the rest of what ever came in the box. No scratches, I put a screen protector on from day one. Just a thought.

My GOOGLE NEXUS 7 EXPERIENCE .

My google experience
I pre ordered the google nexus 7 on the day the went on sale. One week after they started shipping i sent google a email asking them when mine would ship. I was told within a week. Two weeks later i call them to see what is up. As at this point my account was charged for the device. They tell me shipping any day. Two days later i see on my wallet account as google nexus 16 gb ORDER CANCELED BY SELLER.
So i call google back and ask what is up. they said it was a computer issue. And that i would have to reorder. At this time they where backorderd for up to 4-6 weeks on the 8 gb . OUT OF STOCK ON 16. So i ordered the 8 gb version. After a week i received it. Two weeks later i start seeing lines on the screen when you hold it on the left side of the screen as well as the screen moving.
I CALL GOOGLE BACK . they tell me that I can send it back and DO A advance replacmeent exchange. I tell them im not having my money put on hold. I will send it back in a few weeks and just reorder another device when they receive it.
So i decided to just order the device and send this back into them when i receive the new device. .
Its now the end of Aug the new device comes in the mail . It comes in with a CRACKED SCREEN . SO not 30 minutes after usp drops the device off i call GOOGLE YET AGAIN. TO GET A RMA for the brand new replacement device. I GET THAT JUST FINE.Send google this device that i only had for 30 minutes in my posession. still at this time holding on the original device as its still working . you just cant push on the left side of screen. GOOGLE Recieved the device on the 5th of september. Since then i have had several phone calls and exchange of emails. Being told that the device i sent them back was the original device and they WOULD NOT ISSUE A REFUND OR REPLACE THE DEVICE. STATING THAT i would have to prove what device i sent in. They have it so i have no way of doing so . Other then they can see what device is being used and connected to my google wallet. They understand and can see this so im told. But still refuse to help me in any way. So now today on 9/27 I contact them for the last time and demand i get a RMA to send the original device back to them as proof that it was not the one they keep saying they have. SO NOW GOOGLE HAS ALL OF MY MONEY BOTH OF MY DEVICES . AND COULD CARE LESS ABOUT ME AS A CUSTOMER

Dead Nexus 7

I got my son a 32GB nexus 7 for Christmas but it didn't turn out very well. Right out of the box it wouldn't turn on. No big deal I thought, i'll just plug in the charger and let it charge for a while. 2 hours later I try to power it up again. No luck. nothing happening at all. So now its 1:30 AM on christmas morning and i'm still messing with this thing. Hold power for 30 seconds, nothing. Hold power and Volume + to get into recovery, nothing. So back on the charger it goes. 7am. Still dead, nothing happening. Back on the charger. Kid's not happy that his new tech toy isn't working. So around 10 AM I'm standing there talking to my wife while holding the power button down for what seemed like 2 minutes and I look down and see the Nexus "X".... Holy cow, its alive. So we let it start up and dive right into setup. It rebooted 2 times while trying to setup. Third time we make it all the way through and get started downloading some apps. All updates applied up to 4.2 and I thought we were in the clear. So off my kid goes playing angry birds and Navy fighter happy as can be.... Yep, crashed again and was not able to power it back up again. So its in the box headed back to buydig.com I guess this one was a real lemon.
Did some looking around and couldn't find much that relates to my problem. It seems it was just my turn to get the lemon.

You could take the back cover off and see if the battery connector is connected properly.

How is this accomplished without damage so I can send it back with no issues?
Edit- Nevermind, found the iFixit video.

If you have to call support to send it back, DO NOT tell them you opened it to check the batt connector as they insist this will void your warranty. Just a heads-up.
just do not tell them you did anything to it. they should give you a rull replacement
i also got a nexus 7 from parents for christmas and am loving it, hopefully he understands it is just a mistake and this is still a high quality product
I had multiple Nexus 7's and so far not one has had any issues.

Original returned to buy dig.com. got a 32gb from staples and all is well. Never opened the case on the first N7 so I can't tell you what was wrong. After playing with the new one though, the original had screen issues. No charge animation when plugged in.
