Does anyne else have trouble getting the front cam on the streak 7 to work?
I was trying to skype with another streak 7 but neither of our devices will show the front cam, only the back. Should I try & send back for repairs or is there a fix somewhere?
Thanx in advance.

I have the same issue, almost with any video calling app, I remember reading somewhere that it just wasn't supported.

You need to upgrade to honeycomb. Skype on Android 3.2 will allow front camera. Read this post.

Bluetooth keyboards work with streak just to let you know

Its a the Rii mini, a chinese manufactured keyboard. Great little gadget and It works great with my Streak. No problems with connection and all keys are working properly. A lot of functions, great battery live ( up to 700 hours). Dongle is a bluetooth device for pc without such a feature. But be careful to order the bluetooth version, because an alternate keyboard with exactly same looks and name is sold as wireless 2.4 Gh version. In my happiness I almost ordered the wrong one. Otherwise good choice.
thanks! I'm hoping to buy this soon....I want to see if it works with worlds hardest game online(it needs arrow keys)

it strikes me with a question:
would anybody know that the PS3 bluetooth keyboard will work..?
Try it, if it works you can tell everyone else
For those of you who don't know there is another version of this device call the streak or dell mini 5 witch is a 5inch tablet but it makes normal calls like a normal phone so its a tablet phone now dell pushed this new streak 7 as the same as the streak 5 just a better CPU and 7inch not 5 now how can you say its the same when the one thing that would make it the same is not there a phone???

Streak7 as a phone?
I didn't get the impression it could be used as a phone, either. I know someone hacked the US version(s) of the Galaxy Tab on T-Mobile to get it to work as a phone but not sure if the Streak7 can be made that way.
I, too, would love to use this as a phone since I always use a headset (wired and/or Bluetooth). If it wasn't for the battery life of the Streak7, I'd really want to use it as a phone.
Why would you want to use this to make phone calls? this thing is huge and so is the tab, I would do it just for the sake of doing it but i can imagine having this to my ear for longer than 5 minutes
I'm making calls with my Dell Streak 7 using line 2 app

Blame Dell. They have not released the camera API so there is no way to make 3rd party video chat software work.

Well the iphone got skype video so its only a matter of time before it comes to android.

I'm so disappointed to hear that Tango isn't working. A CS rep just told me that it should - one of the reasons I got the Streak was to video call grandkids - they have an ipod. Starting to have second thoughts about this streak!

Yahoo messenger with the add-on app works with video chat very well.

What is the add-on for yahoo messenger?
Still have not been successful with video chat.

So Tango will be the only way atm for a PC to chat with the streak 7?
What about QIK isnt there a PC way to video chat?
I also use Yahoo add on, it turn on video chat, but only use back camera...... And I don't know how to use front camera

I already downloaded oovoo for my DS7, but it said can't use in this device
I just had a notification on my streak 7 that a dell software update was available. Though when I opened it up it said the same no updates...
Same here, message comes up every time you reboot it... just started today.
Me too Wonder what's up.
Whatever it is, it won't be anything major. Honeycomb won't come until at least July according to Dell's "roadmap".
i think we can all agree that even if it is only a release to increase stability, it will be welcomed gratefully.

I am so happy to see this post here as I was suspecting my system giving me more **** by flagging false update notice EVERYTIME i reboot the phone...
I just uninstalled the bloatware AccuWeather last night, so I thought it was because of that...
anyways,
whatever updates from dell should be welcomed, I guess.
I dont get this message?
Sent from my Dell Streak 7
Called their tech support.
No updates scheduled.....
Ya I just rebooted my s7 no notifications here. Guys with the streak are getting the same thing. Wierd

What ever was causing it seems to be gone now- I don't get the message when I reboot now.
Sent from my Dell Streak 7 using XDA App
Yes, I have Steve's updates and I got the notification. It seems to have stopped now.
maybe dell was doing a mass 'testing' of the devices on the field and an update is in the near future? :-s
I justed dropped my Dell 7 and damaged the back case, has anyone found a place to order replacment part and installed it themself ?
Thanks
I think for now you have no one but Dell, maybe the limited warranty will cover? Good luck.
