Dell Streak 7 lines across the screen
I have the same problem.
I have a Dell Streak 7 without 3G, with WiFi
Purchased through Dell on May 19, 2011.
I am running Android Froyo 2.2.
I plugged in my Dell Streak 7 last nigh to the power charger and this morning there are small lines across the screen up and down if I hold in the Landscape position starting from right below the front facing camera.
I powered off and back on completely and I also used a paperclip tip and reset the Dell Streak from the side reset hole (sorry I forgot what doing this is called) Lines are still there.
Has this problem resolved for you and are there others with the same problem and perhaps a solution that does not require hardware repair/replacement.?
I witnessed this on a brand new Streak7 running stock Froyo, it appeared after the first long charge, but it has long since gone, so maybe yours will too.
White lines on dell streak
I also notice the same, I just got my dell streak 7 on july 29 from staples, just for $211 inc taxes, after charging switced off tablet, these lines are visible and a bit hot from back side, more over It's left speaker sometime produces cracking voice especially startup video of asphalt 6. Hopefully, I'll call dell and ask them!
I just talked to dell and they said hadn't got any information regarding issue, so better to go to stepples and replace it! Moreover, they don't have any information regarding honeycomb.

Ticket to ride, white line highway
Tell all your friends, they can go my way
Pay your toll, sell your soul
Pound for pound costs more than gold
The longer you stay, the more you pay
My white lines go a long way
Either up your nose or through your vein
With nothin' to gain except killin’ your brain
Picture of white line in middle of screen :
Going to replace it with new one!
I had the right half of my screen give me white "streak" lines, which faded/refreshed after loading certain apps/videos (nothing specific).
Did not consider it normal, so I exchanged at Staples last Monday 7/25.
Hey just wondering, cause this happens to me so random if sometimes at all, but when it does its annoying. Sometimes the menu button or back button or so on the side doesnt respond. Sometimes it responds on the OPPOSITE side of the tablet till I flip it around.
Other things I get are sometimes the menu/keyboard will pop open and close randomly. Yet I dont know why.
Just wondering if anyone else has seen this type of issue before?
Id hate to say its defective... hate worrying about replacing and redoing EVERYTHING.
My first S7 I bought on opening day had that problem and an upper level tech at Dell told me to go back to the Tmo store and exchange it. Apparently it IS a known glitch.

Ugh, so maybe I do need to get it exchanged. Hate that idea. >.<
Anyone else seen issues like this?

What's wrong with getting it exchanged? Do you have ClockworkMod recovery installed? If so, all you have to do is make a Nandroid backup, and backup the entire contents of the internal storage to your PC. Restore all those files onto the new unit, flash ClockworkMod recovery again, restore your Nandroid, and enjoy.
Maybe, I mean Ive been doing stuff since the G1, still AM using the G1 as my main, then a HD2 for media.
Never really used nandroid heh. So not fully sure how exactly it goes... I mean if its simple, sure then maybe, ok. Then I gotta get another screen protector... not like replacements give you a credit for that. =/
Mine did that from day 1. Got a replacement and its much better. Has not done it once. Was contemplating dumping it, but now I'm really enjoying the form factor, even though I'm not a huge android fan.

Got my streak for about a week now, but problems now start to happen. 2 days ago my streak started to mess up when playing sound. Whenever I turn the volume to max while playing music or playing a game, or just watching a video, the sound that is supposed to be played would stop and instead starts playing a buzz noise. This noise would not stop until I restart the streak.
Also, the streak is now randomly restarting. It was just sitting on my desk and all of the sudden the dell logo appears. Anyone else have this problem? Should I just send it back and get a replacement?
Any help would be great!
I've been watching this thread to see if thar be any responses... nothing.
I have the same issues, I've been trying to find out more about it but I havent come up with much.
That being said I do believe this is a software issue. Froyo and Dells apparent lack of interest seem to be the most likely culprit.
I could ofcourse be completely wrong and we both have brand new toys that are busted :-(

I don't have anything helpful to add other than my Streak 7 has never displayed this kind of bahaviour.
Elvis, what did you decide to do? Did you send it in for replacement? I factory reset mine and so far other than some random lag and random resets, the sound issue is gone.
Z4nd4r, thanks anyway. I wish my streak behaves like yours.
One side question, in the next 2 weeks, before my return window closes, if I install the HC beta on my streak, can I still return it? Or do I have to downgrade it back to 2.2.2 without root before I return?

It's always a good bet to return it to stock unrooted if you return. They may not care (people have sent rooted/ROM'd phones in to service without issue in the past), but better safe than sorry. Just my $0.02.
well I still have it, havent decided what to do yet. I found a few instances of the same problem around the net but no one goes into much detail. Im back to stock/unrooted after using streak droid for a bit but after a few days of happy video playing the freezes/restarts came back. I want to put the stock recovery back on and do a full reset...but I havent really looked into doing it, if anyone can point me in the right direction that would be swell.
Okay I see. Thanks Z4nd4r. I think I might just leave it at HC cuz it is too much work to get it back down to 2.2.2
HallucinatingElvis, good luck! Is yours the wifi version? The stock rom for the wifi version is in this forum. One of the top posts. You should be able to find it easily.
Well I just fired off an RMA request to New Egg, I figure if im spending 300 bucks it should be able to play a frickin video without choking. Im simply asking for a new one, hopefully I wont experience the same issues otherwise ill try and see if they'll let me exchange it for something else. I really like the little bastard too...
Ohh aww. Its okay, when you get a new one it will be all better. Best of luck to you.
I found somebody who is selling a Dell Streak 7 and he told me, "It turns on and works it just keeps telling me the sd needs to be reformated. Everytime you turn it off and back on you have to go through the set up process." If I were to buy it, would anybody be able to tell me how to fix the problem? Do you guys think it would be an easy fix and be worth buying for $100?

It sounds like a "read-only" S7, but that's not a lot of details, if it is a read-only one it's worthless unless dell is willing to fix it. (as only valuable as parts)
I've tried searching, and I've read something about swapping the internal SD card. Have you heard anything about anyone doing this with any success?
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
You might be confusing advise for the Streak 5 which has an innerSD, the 7's nands are surface mount chips (ie soldered directly onto the board)
Well, thanks for the heads up. I was hoping it would be something I could fix myself.

Wow... I sometimes wonder if Dell dropped the Streak 7 because of the read-only bug. Other than that, the unit is a powerhouse that performs very well. I wish Dell would release more information on the read-only issue... or somebody could figure out a relatively easy way to reset a read-only S7.
Mine has been doing great since the Dell reset last summer... but I make sure that the battery never drops below 15%. And I turn it off when not in use.
I've heard that it's an issue with all tegra2 devices and not simply the S7, cant confirm or deny it, only heard as a rumor.
All this talk about dead pixels,dust, screens coming apart etc. I have not one issue with my Rooted N7 and my First ever tablet .

I think most people who get a defective unit complain... while most that don't have no reason to post that they rec'd a great product. I myself have a flawless one as well. Plus 5 of my friends...
I'm about to be on my third and my patience is starting to run thin. May keep the next one regardless and RMA direct with Asus. Scary that I'm actually expecting it to be faulty and hope its broken enough for RMA.

I have no issues with either of mine (both are 16g pre order units.)

No issues here.
99% of the noise is either people with WAY out of kilter expectations for a £160 tablet, or are simply Apple shills.
You also have to consider that on forums like this, you will only ever hear from people with problems. Nobody comes here to say things are running fine.
Every device has manufacturing issues for sure, but considering the high numbers of Nexus7 devices shipped, and the rock-bottom pricing, it's actually rather good. Although try telling gutter press reporters like The Register and Engadget this, they will stir up an old crap if it means website hits. Both sites have destroyed their credibility in recent years over desperate fanboy reporting.

Mine is 100% perfect. The couple of people that I know personally with N7's have no issues either. I'm starting to think there is a lot more fiction than fact in these forums.
No issues at all. Screen is flush. Ran a display test and no dead pixels. All is well

had the thing less than 24 hrs:
screen good no dead pixels or flicker or construction problems
headphone socket seems ok
speaker volume in the normal range
only quandary is which gel case to buy ...
You sure you have a flawless nexus 7? Please make a video and post it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1789450
Download the multitouch test app, put your tablet on the table and make the axis cross, like in the OP video.
Thank you very much, we really need your feedback to know if we should RMA it. Cheers!
Nope. Mine is flawless.
Another 100% perfect tablet here. This is my first tablet and I have to say that it is unbelievable, especially at this price point. I really think that both the hardware and software on this thing gives us a snapshot into the future of these devices.
I already want to integrate jellybean into some sort of home automation system. With Google Now the possibilities are very cool.
Everything is great except looking on the centre of the left long side the screen is like half a mm lifted but don't mind it and wouldn't have noticed it if I didn't know what to look for

I to have a good unit. Got paranoid, thought I had dead pixel, but it was a speck of dirt.

Got to play with a brand new one for a week, flawless.. I've now seen 3 additional units, they look ok as well.
Don't know of anyone personally who has one with any issues yet. None of these people use forums.
Via my HTC Rezound
After a few hours fine so far, touch wood.
No dead/stuck pixels.
No sign of screen lift, though I gather this may not be immediately evident.
Don't notice any ghosting.
Thought headphone socket was broken till I realised you need to push a bit harder than I'm used to on other devices to get them to click in place.
Only small glitch was while undergoing a lot of switching between different wifi options (testing speeds on home wifi, mobile tether blue tooth tether etc) settings force closed and sound stopped working till after reboot.
Free content is junk like I expected.
After unlocking bootloader used another email seem to have a second offering of credit. Didn't have card registered so it says I'll get credit when I register a card. Will wait till I have used first credit and know more about any repercussions for this.

I got a good one.Everything works well and I am very pleased with it.
Of course I am older that a lot of you guys and might just not be so picky about things that don't matter to me.:laugh:

Why should someone seek out a defect they wouldn't ordinarily notice or care about? Yes, you can be a hypochondriac when it comes to electronics too. Realistically we all have "something wrong" with us at any given time, and the same thing can be said about your electronic device.
Each and every device (not just N7s) out there has some kind of "minor defect" (and by that I mean doesn't work precisely as the owner might expect). The point is, owner who aren't obsessed about having a "perfect" device don't run 20 different diagnostic apps to try to hunt down that "defect".
I'm not saying every person who complains about a defect is a hypochondriac, there are definitively a select few real issues out there just like their always have been and always will be with every electronic device. However, there are many many more people who will just never be pleased, like those who have had multiple RMAs.
I have had mine since the 17th, no problems yet.
