Hi, I cant get my dell venue to work on the Simple Mobile network. Does anyone use their dell venue on the simple mobile network? if so, can you tell me how you got it to work please?
Is your venue unlocked? Just pop the sim in and it should work, you need the AWS model venue to get 3g though

Hi
My unlocked US streak directly bought from dell is on its way to me in Texas.
Will it work to make calls and 3g data when I travel to India ? It is triband gsm baseband out there used by operators and users can use any phone.
I m worried if I have to flash europe baseband over?
Thanks

Ok I did some reading and think 2g calls should work
3g in india is 2100MHz
Streak should support 2100MHz so it should work too. Can somepne confirm?

the streak is quad band 2g, in other words, a world phone so you will b able to make calls, not sure about 3g though
@rptw
Thank you ...
One related question to all, so that when someone knowledgeable passes by, I can get my answer:
Q: Is the UMTS band frequency for Dell Streak (US unlocked version) a software configuration thing or is it part of the hardware radios?
I saw a screenshot of the phone settings on the web that seems to suggest the Dell Streak having the option to choose the 900 MHZ UMTS band, if needed. Can someone confirm?
according to gsmarena.com, there are two models of the streak in terms of 3g bands go, one is the 900/2100 version and the other is the 850/1900/2100 (att/rogers) version. depending on which one it is that you get will determine which frequencies your phone will work on so yes, to answer your question, band frequency is part of hardware radios.
Dell Streak unlock
Does anyone has been able to use dell streak 5 unlock from dell with T mobile USA and get 3g data service?
I just bougth a aws one off ebay that works with tmobile 3g, but They are rare to show up on there.
what is aws?
Aws is 1700 Mhz 3g used in Tmobile in the US. The unlocked streak from Dell has only the at&t 3g support and 2100mhz
Aws streak is rare and not on sale from Dell

I have a unlocked Dell Streak with T-mobile service. I am unable to get 3G service only Edge is working. Is this normal with unlocked phones. Anyone have the same problem?
where did you buy your streak from? if it's not an AWS model you cant get 3g from TMO
Frequency Bands
If the phone was built for AT&T then your SIM card will allow use on TMO, bue thr radios will not tune UMTS/HSDPA properly. You will be stuck with Edge until the merger.
Dell Streak now works with 3G from T-Mobile

Do the following if you really need 3G service from T-Mobile on your Streak originally from AT&T:
1. Sell it!
2. Buy a Dell Streak locked to Cincinnati Bell because their version works with 3G on T-Mobile!
3. Unlock it (check article on unlocking Cincinnati Bell Streak). DON'T forget your rebate!!

I am not quite sure, but I used an unlocked ATT streak with my Local provider and the 3G was working, just check with T-Mobile how to configure the Access Point Network (APN).
In dell streak you can find it in below path:
Setting >> Wireless & Network Settings >> Mobile Network Setting >> Access Points Names.
Hello, I have a unlocked Dell Streak, i don't whant open new theme, that's why I write here.
Baseband Version of my Streak : GAUSB1A134700-US
I whant unofficial update my Dell to Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread. As i know there is only StreakDroid 2.0.0 built on these version of Android? Maybe someone know performance in StreakDroid 2.0.0 better then in 347? What about playing games is it better?
Also before update I whant make BackUp of my firmware, give me please link to Instuction or link to ready 347 firmware.
Thanks for helping!)
Hello to everyone
I am considering buying the Dell Venue Android phone from Dell US site, and it's giving me the option to choose from 3G-Optimized for PCS networks (AT&T, etc) and 3G-Optimized for AWS networks (T-Mobile, etc). The problem is that I would be using it in Europe, with European SIM cards. The phone is unlocked, so no problems there. I just want to ask which version is better suited for European 3G networks, some say neither, some say either...
Could somebody here shed some light into this? It would be much appreciated
Thank you

Ask your provider. In Russia, 3G runs at 2100MHz and both models working fine.

Thanx Samver
Here in Serbia 3G also runs on 2100 (or so I'm told), but my service provider couldn't or wouldn't help me with purchasing Venue, I think they're just clueless.
Which version of Venue are you using? Are you able to use HSPA/HSDPA in Russia on your phone?
my phone is the AWS version, from Hong Kong, HSPA/HSDPA working

Get the AWS version if you dont plan on using it with At&t in the US or rogers in canada.
PCS = US model: 850/1900/2100
AWS: 900/1700/2100
Most european carriers: 900/2100
As they both support 2100 you'll still get 3g whereever 2100 3g is available. But in the unlikely chance that only 900 is available only the AWS model can recieve 3g on it.
Thanx Manii, thanx Samver, you've been most helpful
I guess I'll go with AWS version, can't wait to get my hands on it!
Can you do me a favor when you recieve it?
When you get it on and booted can you go to settings -> about phone and tell me the:
Baseband version:
Build number:
I will, no problem, it'll just take some time until I receive it.
Just got my Venue, looks wonderful
@ TheManii
Baseband version: GTOUB1A130730-AWS
Build number: 13505
I bought it unlocked from dell.com few weeks ago, as AWS 3G optimized version.
Thanks for responding, that sure took a while to ship.
I was hoping to see a new rom that i dont have, but as it has 307 i already have that rom
Well, it arrived after about a week, I was waiting for a friend of mine to bring it to Europe.
Hope we'll see new ROM soon...
Just a quick question - any ideas where I could find the drivers for my Venue, for Win XP? Wanna use USB tether, but it keeps asking me for Dell Venue driver, and the tetherxp.inf from Google is not functioning...
Thanx
Anyone? Still can't use USB tethering, tried tetherxp.inf, tried ADB tethering driver from sd card from my Venue, tried Dell Connection Manager, Dell Control point etc.
Thanx
Found a solution, easytether.

Works ok for now.
I had in past Venue Pro unlocked and it was with t-mobile before unlock.
Now i bought a Venue, it was with ATT..
My question is, in Mexico, using both phones, Venue Pro was not able to get 3G, and Venue does... Venue Pro was flashed with Mango and last firmware updates, but i remember when i installed last firmware to Venue Pro, i couldnt make calls...i remember i had to go back firmware 212 if im not wrong... with Venue, i get 2G, EDGE, 3G, everything with no problems...
I plan to go back Venue Pro... is there an issue with software or dell updates which cause this problem?
If the Venue Pro was T-Mobile bands and the Venue is AT&T bands I think you have your answer right there. The 3G bands are different.
Thanks for the reply... in reality, the Venue, before get unlocked, was in a dual mode, Tmobile and ATT, tought, not sure, still so, you are right, now the question is, how can i select what kind of bands to set in the phone? I know its a configuration properly from the carrier, but no way to modify them in "user mode" ?
Locking or unlocking doesnt change the supported 3g bands. It's physically impossible to change it without swapping hardware.
The VP should at least support 2g/edge speeds if the right carrier's sim card is used and it's unlocked, also if it's the VP that's giving issue you're more likely to find answers if you post in the VP forum
Hi, i am having Dell Venue 7 3741 3G model, is there any way to use 4G sim with this?
I have seen many videos using 4G sim in 3G phone on youtube, is it technically possible?
