Is Streak 7 recalled from Dell?

I called staples to check the availablity of Dell Streak 7. The representive said there will not have new stock of Streak 7 coming soon. Because Dell actually recalled Streak 7.
Do anyone know more, and does Streak 7 have problem for recall?

I think it's possible...
I had to go to 4 staples stores before I found one.
1 store said they had 4 in stock, until I got there and they couldnt find them... then the manager had to teach the sales associates how to understand their POS system. Apparently, their system will show the Staples store has them in stock, until Dell actually receives them.
The manager told me that they dont know the details, they were just told to RTV them.
Also, one of those 4 stores I went to actually had one in stock, but for some odd reason, the manager wouldnt sell it to me... His only response was "you dont want this one".... and wouldn't explain any further.
Whatever! I got mine!

Does that mean we all get free DS10 ?

It probably means that we all get the shaft and the middle finger from DELL.

Haha...nice

When I called Dell for another question today I directly asked if there was any sort of recall and if they still are supporting the device. He assured me of no recall and says full support is still to continue. Of course this is coming from a Dell trained employee so only time will tell...
Seems there may just be some sort of issue between Staples and Dell?

I just purchased mine on thursday at a Staples with the $100 dollar off coupon without any problem. They still had 3 or 4 left in stock (they were selling faster than the other tablets) Nice cheap way to test out if a tablet is right for you imo.

Its no wonder seeing as T-Mobile has discontinued it too.

This is very unfortunate. DELL really dropped the ball on this one, big time. Awesome device; all they needed was some proper software support and a smidgen of advertising. I really don't know why they even made the Streak 7 if they weren't going to support it. Then again, DELL is one of the few tech giants that actually spends less on R&D than Apple.

It's still listed for sale on T-mobile just not with a contract discount.

I work for a T-Mobile authorizied dealer.
We got word yesterday that tmo is no longer supporting the streak. We are unable to order any more. Word is once stock is depleted tmo will offically eol the streak. As of right now it is available online and in stores that still have them in stock

And right after they updated the Sync and added that other cloud software.
I'm happy with my DS7 WiFi and will continue with it until it's no longer supported and/or out of warranty and then I'll release the hacking/programming hounds

thats why i bought insurance on it through tmobile so in about a year when they cant be found anymore they will have to replace with a similar device through asurion its 130 dollars.

I think the so called recall is to slap honeycomb...out of the the box

I doubt it, but nice thought. Of course simply for that reason it probably won't happen. The fact that the unit is being discontinued probably means they're not going to invest more into it. Best bet will be for the dev community to be our only hope.

Honeycomb: Do You Have It?

There's rumblings out there that official HC has dropped for the 4G model. Can anyone confirm this?

Nope, I have a Tmobile 4G and only get the No Updates Available page that's been there since the 2.2.2 upgrade.

I'll bet this forum lights up like a Christmas tree when it does.

Why would China get the 10" Dell Streak before America? Why would Dell put a crummy screen on an all-screen device? Why would Dell gimp the battery?
I don't try to understand Dell, anymore. I loved this tab, but I'm starting to think it was a mistake to purchase one. Too bad I don't have the money for whichever tab Sammy comes out with on T-Mo.

NOt a mistake cos they no honeycomb right now for it, never was when you bought it. There's no 7 inch that got the whole lot good.... screen, battery and OS, never will be. Would never need to buy another one if there was.
Streak 7 does the whole lot tho... can get away with most the gameloft and other latest games on it, got some of the best power behind it. Can probably do pretty much the whole android package...
Saying that though, some of the guys over there on the dell support forums claiming they got the official OTA. Every one should push them for a dump...
http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/mobile-devices/f/3824/t/19391686.aspx?PageIndex=7

If there's any truth in those posts all we need are any details of the update page.
Whatever rom they were on, and possibly their service tag if dell's being fickle and handing it out in phases.
OR just the update page/update.pkg url.
Of course you'll need to reflash back to 2.2.x to install it as all the custom HC roms repartition the device

Pretty much true,
Their build.prop would pretty much do most of it. Very much doubt they have it though, just news just after news about an expected OTA date. Push amigo, push...

[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

Any news on 4.4?

I'm assuming no, since I haven't seen anyone talking about it anywhere. I was just curious if anyone had heard anything about an official 4.4 update for our tf701's. I'm sure we'll get one. Who knows when though.

We have only had 4.3 for a little over a month now on this tablet. I doubt we will get it soon but Asus is known to be great with updates. My guess is we will see it around the end of March.

Yeah I reckon another month or 2 and they'll start rolling out. They always seem to do new builds from Feb to April.

My question is..
Will 4.4 be the last update for this device. .

No one knows for sure but a general rule of thumb: each device usually gets about 18 months of updates. Some a little more, some less. The TF701 will most likely get another big OS update after KitKat.

Disgrazia!!!!

what is the itlian sku?
back in dec early jan i was complaining of no jp update.
i mentioned they said no updte was coming and i escalated to manager on issues with device.
anyway they called me back today! lol
like 3 weeks after the update came saying there will be an update for the device late this month.
i asked what version he didn`t know.
then i told him about 5 days after speaking to him i got the 4.3 lol
i don`t think asus know what they are doing. clearly the product manager was made redundant on this device or at least i`d like to think so.

Nvidia released KK for the tegranote. Hopefully this tab is not far off.

I recently had some sort of small update pushed to my TF701. It was not an OS update, clearly, but a firmware update for stability and other stuff. Has anyone else had an update come to their 701? I do have 4.3, which installed as soon as I started using the tablet for the first time.

If I remember correctly an update showed up in settings after doing the first manual update(where you place the zip @ /sdcard)

something tells me that returns and repairs trippled the actual sales number i recon we would be lucky to get an update soon they probably cut all but 1 person who is working on it part time, and moved onto the next product.

Do you honestly believe that? Returns and RMAs are never reported as a sale or considered one in either retail outlets or warehouse fulfillment centers, it's recorded as product loss. There will be an update, and it's likely not going to be too far off.

i think maybe you misunderstood my statement.
I was merely saying that asus got the devices returned so many times that the sales were likely less then the amount of times they got sent in for repair or swapped over.

I idk i think this device is likely doing well. People might be holding off because they don't see a selection of roms. There might have been a rush to get this thing sorted out before Christmas. Idk. Affected the build quality a little. But that was then and this their mainline. Its whats running down the line. So I think quality is what people will get from this point on. Like most new device as was with the xbox,ps4 etc a delay do to quality issues. And then they got sorted. People of course want to see all their favorite roms. So hopefully we see 4.4 soon.

I'm not convinced there is a relationship between sales and number of roms available. Maybe the version of OS supported plays some part? I.e., if this came out with Android 4.4 it would probably sell a lot better.

Understood. But not even a mention for the Infinity Transformer Pad. Supposedly their flagship Tablet. We're pretty much on the back burner. Some of those Padfone releases aren't until the 3rd quarter. Yet they still had a press release
It leaves me to believe, we won't be seeing it until the fall as well . It they would have mentioned in that release, I would feel better about seeing it before the end of the second quarter.

Google does the update and then sends it to Samsung for testing. IF Samsung decides the update is worthy and fits into their business plan for the life of the phone, they will test the update and correct things that are specific to the S6. IF that is completed then they send the update to Verizon, who in turn, decides if it fits in their business plan and the planned end of life for the product. If Verizon decides to pass it along then they update the code with their specifics and then they release it to the phones.
All of that has to go good before we knaves might see an update.
Unfortunately Android updates and timeline does not fit into the end of life plans for phones by the carriers. That is why we usually only get one or two updates.

Just saw this while searching online tonight.
