MIne worked straight out of the box. It sounds like you may  have a defective GPS receiver in your Streak, I would call Dell and get a new one sent to you.

I experienced the same thing until I turned on my data connection in settings & locale I think it was called.

Now I'm not sure why it needs a data connection for GPS, this would make it pretty worthless if you were to go out of data range.

I requested a new unit which fixed the problem. I did not have to change any of the default settings to make it work. "Use wireless networks" was not enabled.  I picked up 8 satellites sitting on my couch, no where near line-of-sight with the sky, so its working very well in fact.

Thank you, I beleive my unit is defective also. I canot get anything unless I have "Use wireless networks" enabled. :emotion-6:

What app are you using to let you know how many satellites you are picking up?

GPS Status is a free app that will display details about your GPS reception.
