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

Weak sauce. Well, I guess it's time for all of us to learn how to dev! Now, release that Honeycomb source code, Google!

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.

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.

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

[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

Purchasing a Nexus 7 in JPN then taking back to AU

Hi Guys,
Looking for a quick answer here.
Im on holidays in Japan and can purchase the Nexus 7 (WiFi only) Tablet for a good price. I will be taking it back with me to AUS.
Will i have any issues with this tablet back in AUS with regards to updates or anything like that? Can i just install the base AUS image and have it 100% English and not just have the language in english?
My main concern is not the software on it but will i have any issues with the hardware when using back in AU or issues with slower/no software updates?
Thank you

The nexus 7 has international warranty. And I believe there is only 1 variant of Nexus 7 wifi around with some single worldwide software. Even if there is a difference in software (which I doubt), you can easily flash the fastboot images off Google's site.
I'm saying this as I bought my Nexus 7 3G from Malaysia and unlike my Galaxy Nexus which has regional variants which prevents OTA, on the N7 I'm running 4.2.2 which I received via ota.
A valid concern would be the charger adapter, it probably won't plug in Australian power outlets. But you can buy that easily once you're home.

Hi Mate,
thank you very much for the reply back. This has helped me make my decision to purchase the unit over here.
I will check out those images from Google as itd like to make it the same as my country.
Appreciate the reply back.
cheers

Just to let you know I did the same thing myself in January! Where'd you end up getting yours from? I went Bic Camera. That's also good news about the international warranty. I was willing to risk it at the time but shouldn't need to worry now.
I'm also using the charger that came with it. You just need a JPN to AUS adapter. You can pick those up for something like 160 yen if memory serves me correctly.

Yup Bic Camera. Pretty cheap compared to where i could find it back in AU.
International Warranty is a good thing too.
Only issue i had was it didn't software update past 4.2 to either 4.2.1 or 4.2.2. So i manually upgraded it to 4.2.2 yesterday and its all sweet. Hope the OTA will work for next release that Google puts out.
Yeah got an adapter, but what was better is i saw a 4 port adapter for charging 4 usb devices off the one power point. So got one of those with a converter. works well.

media link HD: dg h200 vs dg h300 ?

Hi does anyone know what the difference is between the h200 and h300?
i didnt see any model numbers mentioned on the htc website however i have noticed on ebay there are several dg h300's and handtec also sell this - amazon UK only have the h200.

I dont know what the difference is i'm guessing maybe just regional differences? I got one free with my HTC One

i think the 200 only supports the one series whereas the 300 supports more devices. if anyone can confirm this it would be appreciated. i just want to verify if either version will work with my dinc 4g. (seen mostly the 200 on ebay...)
