I agree with this. HoneyComb would make it competitive, but FroYo isn't too bad on a 7" device. However, if Dell doesn't release Honeycomb on it they're practically committing suicide in the mobile space.
[Dell Streak 7] ctiger:
I do understand your feeling because you own one of DS7, but I'm kinda unable to understand what Dell's thinking. It really doesn't take too much effort for such a big company to port the HC to DS7, many other companies are doing that in weeks. If you find problems, you just fix it and push another update. This called moving forward, in the new century, everybody is moving forward. Dell is not big on this market, so they should act even quicker. For what we see here, they don't really care about this market at all, that's what I can think of.
[Dell Streak 7] GoldenTiger:
It would be nice if this is really the case... I like the Streak 7 well enough even with just 2.2.2 (Froyo) but Honeycomb (official) would really make it awesome... :D. It additionally would help their marketing in this space significantly.
[Dell Streak 7] bsoplinger:
Considering that there are almost no 7" HC tablets, just 10" ones, I can't see how it couldn't help but improve sales.
[Dell Streak 7] medseven:
Theres no 7inch's sold with HC at the moment as far as I know.

Huwei Mediapad is just around the corner, with a dual core 1.2 processor and an as yet unknown GPU.

There's also the Viewpad 7x and Acer Iconia A100 just around the corner, both with same hardware as the Streak 7.

So maybe not that bad Streak 7's HC hasn't been released yet, as there are no 7inch tabs with HC 3.2, the version supposedly optimized for 7inch tabs. Just really quite bad no info whatsoever on a confirmed release, not a particular date, just a yes or no.

Rang Dell the other day, here in the UK, and the guy told me maybe by the end of the year!!! Also said the next likely update for us, on the Wifi only version would be from 2.2.2 to 2.2.3!!!

So with that it seems every one who has rang Dell has been told a complete different story; some its coming soon, some there's a beta out there for a few Americans and the stroy I got!

Also, dont really know a great deal about coding or developing, but with the Viewpad 7x and Acer A100 coming out soon, with 7inch screens and the same hardware, would that greatly increase the chances of someone like DJ-Steve coming out with a stable HC release?
[Dell Streak 7] medseven:
Also, I just tried the Auto Customer Service/Tech support thingy again (i tried last week when it was mentioned here) and I cant find mention of honeycomb anymore.

Maybe im trying a different thing, but can anyone else confirm that it has been removed!?
[Dell Streak 7] bluesy_92:
As far as the Acer Iconia, I know it has a higher res screen, and lower rated battery (wasn't it like, 1530ma or something?) so it's going to have dismal battery life, even worse than ours, so I'd rather have Honeycomb on a Streak 7, than an Acer. I don't know alot about the Viewpad. And as far as a more stable build, I don't think a new device with Honeycomb will help at all, because afaik, most of the stability comes from the kernel. But Honeystreak is very stable to begin with, so I don't really see an issue. I'm screwing around in Froyo a bit, trying to make Froyo feel more like a tablet than a phone, but when I'm done with that, I'm flashing back to Honeystreak (Honeystreak 3.1, RC3, screen density 160. By far my favorite Honeystreak build, because of the launcher, which DJ_Steve did a great job editing to look and function perfect at 160 :D)

Those devices though, might (so don't take my word on this) improve Honeystreak in the sense that the launchers and apps were designed to run on a 7-inch screen. Our screen density for Honeystreak would most likely be somewhere around 130 if that is the case (133 is the actual density of a 7in 800x480) but if they did what DJ_Steve did (lowered the screen density below the actual density, to trick the OS into believing it's on a larger screen) then it may not be useful.

Search for honeycomb
[Dell Streak 7] bluesy_92:
To be honest, I'm not bugged that we're far behind, because honestly, we're not. Official Honeycomb on a 7 inch right now, isn't common (except for the tablets that are coming out soon.) What bugs me is that Dell is a larger company than Acer or Huawei, and being how long this tablet has been out, they had a good period of time with the hardware. And Dell said we would be getting an update. IMO, we should be one of, if not the first, 7 inch tablet with official Honeycomb, and we haven't even gotten word of a release yet, other than the automated support page "later this year." Being that they stated that there WILL, not might, but WILL be a Honeycomb update, I wonder if this would be grounds for a class-action if there is not. Many people (including myself) bought the Streak 7 under the pretense that we were told we would be getting an update.
[Dell Streak 7] H0daddy:
In total agreement here. This weeks Staples flyer still listed it as getting a honeycomb upgrade.
[Dell Streak 7] keith.valdez:
You should find that ad so we can sue them for false advertising!!! lol:D
[Dell Streak 7] jackedint:
offical HC build would be so nice

Ive been using the last 2 DJ Steve's Honeycomb builds....

not bad but the last one my bluetooth didn't work

the latest one, bluetooth works great but now my WiFi is buggy ... sigh

please please ... Dell produce the "offical" honeycomb build.... I wonder why the delay
[Dell Streak 7] edtuckerartist:

[Dell Streak 7] FredOak3:
Got this on Under the FAQ for the Dell Streak 7 on the Dell site....

The Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) operating system is a new version of the Android platform that is specifically optimized for devices with larger screen sizes, particularly tablets. An “Over The Air” upgrade to Android 3.0 will be offered to customers with the Dell Streak 7 later this year. You will receive a notice on your Streak when the update is available. At this time, the upgrade is not available for Streak 5 devices or other Dell Android-based smartphones.
[Dell Streak 7] H0daddy:
The A100 has arrived http://thegadgets.net/2011/08/09/7-inch-acer-iconia-tab-a100-officially-announced/

Come on Dell. Step up to the plate.
[Dell Streak 7] bluesy_92:
At the very least, if a rip is released, it would probably be useful for Honeystreak.

Now tbh, I want a 7 inch Honeycomb tablet, or something smaller, like a phone. Except for the Asus Transformer (which I an honestly considering switching to at this point, thanks to dell -.-) I see no point to large tablets, as they are no more portable than a notebook. And I DO NOT want the Acer, which having a higher-res screen, a Tegra 2 processor, and yet about HALF the battery power (I think it's rated for like 1530mA or something), I can picture the battery life being dismal - and that's in comparison to the Streak 7's already bad battery life.

Honeystreak is incredible, but like all custom Honeycomb builds, is not perfect. And untill the Honeycomb source is released, I doubt a perfect Honeycomb rom will be released for anything.

Come on Dell - if you don't give me Honeycomb, Asus will. And they'll give me a Keyboard, too.
[Dell Streak 7] medseven:
Say that here;..

http://en.community.dell.com/suppor...s/f/3824/p/19391686/19916232.aspx?PageIndex=2

But at the same time that Acer looks nice, has 1gb of Ram not 512mb so even tho 512 enough to handle today, can kind of seeing it slow down a little six months from now. Also, here in the UK, the cheapest you can get the Streak 7 is £200 which is like $325 about the same as that Acer new, the streaks sell for pretty much the same price 2nd hand to, so could probably swap for no more than bout £30.

Saying that tho, 1 thing I noticed when playing games on the Streak is that the speakers either side, although at the top, but my hands do cover them sometimes.

Any one think they could hold a 7 inch landscape with its speakers on either side, at the bottom, without covering them?
[Dell Streak 7] bluesy_92:
I know this'll sound stupid, but I had this idea in my head for a tablet that has speakers not on the top and bottom, or sides, but one on each corner. Your hands would be less likely to cover them, and whatever orientation you use, their would be 2 speakers on each side - you can have proper stereo sound regardless of orientation.

Also, at least IMO, RAM is not as useful to me as battery life. You can always download a task manager to save RAM, and since I use a WiFi tablet, I don't leave it on when it's not being used, so I don't have every app I used all day running in the background. And even if I did, it may slow down a little, but at least it won't die on me. The Acer looks nice - but the way it seems to me, imagine getting a Streak 7, increasing the screen res, and halving the battery - it sounds pretty dismal to me, unless they know something we don't to get longer battery life. If that wasn't an issue, I would choose it over the Streak 7 any day.
[Dell Streak 7] medseven:
Dont get me wrong I love my steak 7.

But having the speakers on the sides (side as in when holding landscape); be them at the bottom or top of the sides not as good as either side of the top of the unit, your hands are always going to hold either side.

Looking around the UK sites, I see the Acer A100 up for preorder, as the A101 only with 512mb anyhows...

http://www.shop.bt.com/products/ace...le&utm_medium=product+search&utm_content=RR00

http://www.dabs.com/products/acer-i...le&utm_medium=product+search&utm_content=Q200

I've got the Wifi only version, its always off when I don't use it anyhow. As far as the Ram use is concerned, its things like Google Maps and other apps that like to hog it in the background. I used root uninstaller to remove google maps, as cool as it is, hardly ever use it as its just as good in the browser.

So the Acer looks like it might have only 512mb of Ram anyhow, and with only 8gb of internal storage.

And here we have a little beast with 16gb internal storage, still pretty much at the top of its game as far as hardware specs are concerned being held back.

Any one get the feeling the people at dell are the type that like to suppress their kids!?
[Dell Streak 7] medseven:
Oh i get you now. On the corners, like the curves, that would be the best place :)
[Dell Streak 7] sam24and48:
I just got an email back from my business rep from dell. Stating that he is told "Yes" there will be a honeycomb update, but it will be a few months behind. So I wouldn't expect anything soon. Thanks to dj steve for what he has done so far. makes it a real good tablet!
[Dell Streak 7] dpoindexter:
Ok, so I don't know how much merit this holds, but I just got off the phone with Dell (not to get Honeycomb info) because the Stage Social Widget on my device just refuses to connect with Facebook. After 2 days of dealing with them and going through the steps, and none of the steps yielded getting logged into Facebook from their widget, he was going to set up a repair, because it was the device (not a software issue) in his mind. So I said to him "Really it's not that big of a deal, if there is a software update coming soon I'm not going to worry about it, but if I'm going to have to deal with your software/device not working forever then yea let's get it fixed" His response was "Sir, there is no software update available to download right now that is going to fix this" and I said "No, I know I meant sometime in the near future, I can live with it for now" and he said "Well wait there is a new update available, and it's a slow roll out, so as not to bombard our servers, some devices have gotten it, some have not, but it is Android 3.0" my response "So if I go onto my device and check updates it should be there?" His response "Maybe, but as I said it's a slow roll out plus we want to fix bugs as they arise, so here's what I'll do, I'll leave your ticket open and if you don't get the update in a week or 2 call us back and we will bring it in for service and update". So like I said I don't know if this holds merit or not, but sounds like a promising update to this. My question though, how is it no one has posted they've gotten the update? I mean does slow roll-out mean 1 or 2 devices a day?
[Dell Streak 7] medseven:
Its been posted before that Dell have claimed theres a beta already out there, released to a select few Americans. Although cant believe there is as there's noone one whatsoever on t'net!
[Dell Streak 7] dpoindexter:
I was very careful not to mention honeycomb on purpose not only did I want the issue fixed I wanted them to offer up the info instead of saying "where the heck is honeycomb" also was very clear with them that though the issue wasnt a huge deal I wanted to know if it was fixable. And if it wasnt going to be fixed in the near future then I would let them waste their money to realize its a bug with their widget. The way he said seemed unscripted anyway so id like to believe.
[Dell Streak 7] jessej:
Honeycomb is in internal testing only at this point from what I have heard. Looking at a possible September release but I do not know what time frame in September most likely late September. The one description about honeycomb that was used was the device is "fast".
[Dell Streak 7] bluesy_92:
Yep :-) I'm honestly suprised no manufacturer has tried this yet - no matter the orientation, you would have speakers on both sides, and they would not be covered :-)
[Dell Streak 7] Z4nd4r:
Time to tap that source for a leaked build ;)
[Dell Streak 7] bluesy_92:
Don't get your hopes up that Honeycomb will be leaked early :P

[Dell Streak 7] Chemus:
Thank T-Mobile, it's up to them to support their phones. And since they discontinued the 4g streak7, they apparently don't wanna do updates.

Hopefully, the official HC will be useful enough for DJSteve and co., to incorporate into the HoneyStreak ROM.
[Dell Streak 7] metal1f3:
That wouldn't really be dells fault. Dell has no say over when t-mo's tabs can be updated. But don't worry, the reason this is exciting is now Steve will have a version specifically built for our tabs.
[Dell Streak 7] bullseye69:
Ya its T-Mobile fault. But I feel dell could and should release a version for the 4g s7. And ya I'm little upset now I just bought one through tmo and its to be here today. If that's true I may play with it for my 20 day grace period. And then return it for the g slate. I was and have seen the the promise of hc upgrade. Lol but tmo does weird things now.

It's like with the G2X LG released a copy of GB before tmo said any thing.

I say dell should do the same thing.
[Dell Streak 7] medseven:
Humn,

Any one have any idea whether having clockwork makes a difference to these updates working?
[Dell Streak 7] FredOak3:
Previous update with Clockwork bricked the DS7. So it will probably be a similar problem this time. If you search the forum you'll find the info about it when the 2.2.2 update came out.

Same thing happens with 2.2.2 and clockwork installed and you try to do a factory reset. (Made that stupid mistake myself once), had to do a NVFlash recovery to WiFi stock.

I'm running WiFi stock and just rooted now and will simply unroot when the OTa show up before running it.

Then will have to see what the powers around here have to root HC.
[Dell Streak 7] H0daddy:
Good news indeed. Looking forward to it.
[Dell Streak 7] metal1f3:
Yes it will. You will need to restore to the stock rom with the stock recovery before you update. In fact you won't even receive an ota notification from dell if you're not on the wifi only rom.
[Dell Streak 7] keith.valdez:
I should have originally bought the Wifi, I don't even use the data service on this thing. But, maybe I'll still be able to use that update, just won't have data. Don't use it anyway.
[Dell Streak 7] keith.valdez:
Someone will release it somehow.
[Dell Streak 7] bsoplinger:
I thought that HC was for tablets and it wouldn't be until Android 4 that a new phone version would be released. That is to ask why would HC work on any phone since tablets aren't phones? Just the mental image of someone trying to hold a Xoom up to their head to make a phone call seems ludicrous.

Honestly not posted to generate flames but because I feel I'm missing something here in the whole discussion. In other words I don't understand why someone would expect HC for the streak with phone type stuff (3G or 4G)?
[Dell Streak 7] chamberc:
We don't use our 4G Streak 7 to make phone calls, we use it for data. WiFi is rarely freely available.
[Dell Streak 7] KenpoAP:
Sir there are lte and 3g versions of different tablets, so, HC on tablets with this "phone type stuff" is indeed possible.

And by the way is the streak 7, a 4g tablet.
[Dell Streak 7] keith.valdez:
Satan made me do it...

No it's a giant froyo runnin phone with no calling ability LOL. :D
[Dell Streak 7] ctiger:
You don't always have to hold your phone to your head, you can use headphones!

And Steak7 is not a phone, Dell thinks it's a tablet, (at least son of tablet). The fact is, it will be convenient if you can use the one device for all, so you don't have to worry about forget this or that device.
[Dell Streak 7] chrisfisher864:
I don't remember the last time I held my phone up to my ear, I always use a Bluetooth. And yes the ds7 is 4g !
[Dell Streak 7] medseven:
Edit:

I just looked how to remove clockwork and it looks a fiddle.

Hope some one posts zip that can be installed through CWM when it comes.
[Dell Streak 7] bluesy_92:
I'm hoping (if it comes out -.-) that this is a "vanilla" Honeycomb. I mean, 2.2 didn't have the best interface, and since Dell Stage basically was the same basic formula as the android UI, with the added widgets, I didn't mind it. But vanilla Honeycomb is pretty epic - much better than Stage.
[Dell Streak 7] medseven:
:D Thats a serious high hopes. A Dell Update without Dell UI and bloat
[Dell Streak 7] bluesy_92:
I don't mind the bloat - root with a file manager should get rid of it. I mind the UI. I love the stock Honeycomb UI - Especially when it fits the tablet well. That's why Honeystreak 3.1 RC3 with the 160 build was my favorite Honeystreak build - the launcher on that build is 98% perfect, like it was made for that tablet (pretty amazing DJ_Steve pulled that off, since it was ripped from a 10 inch tablet.)
[Dell Streak 7] medseven:
Ya I see what your saying. There's some native launchers on the market, but I don't see the honeycomb 3.2 one.

I have thought that myself once before though, when you get a custom one and the native one isn't available you've got the choice of the launchers on the market pretty much, although not that I know im sure the native/vanilla honeycomb launcher would be cool.

Ive just been thinking as I mostly use my streak as a gaming tablet, with quite a few Gameloft games on there I sure hope they still work with the update.
[Dell Streak 7] jessej:
I will see what I can find out about the 4G version of Honeycomb and let everyone know.
[Dell Streak 7] metal1f3:
You guys need to quit freaking out. All this means is Steve will have a hc rom specifically tailored for our devices. He'll have it for you 4g guys as well. YOU WILL GET THE OFFICIAL HC.
[Dell Streak 7] bogdi1988:
Hmm, i just called Dell Mobility support and they told me that they have no ETA on Honeycomb, BUT they will be providing it to ALL Strea 7 devices, including the T-Mobile one... that's what the guy on the phone said.

Been following this thread & other sites that "Say things" about streak 7 & honeycomb wile now.

I would like to see a official honeycomb & it seems no one knows anything really... Which bugs me...

You would think some one would know something definitive by now!
[Dell Streak 7] H0daddy:
And when i started this thread they said it was being pushed out now. i dont think dell support has a clue. You have to get behind the scene and talk to the reps and devs. Streaksmart probably has the most reliable info to date. If you missed it, check post # 130.
[Dell Streak 7] bluesy_92:
Yeah, I doubt Dell Support. I chatted with a mobility "expert" who told me that if there is a Honeycomb update, it will be available on the Android market. An operating system update. On the market. Not the update page, the MARKET. Now, the rep was very at her job - she answered my questions, and was not at all rude. Very good customer service. But also, very uninformed. IMO, Dell does not do a good job of keeping their employees informed on the products. After several Dell representatives, one said there was no planned update, though the Dell site itself claims there are planned updates, just never stated a date. Another told me that the update was already pushed a while back - I think referring to the streak 5 1.6 to 2.2 update? And this one said to check the market.

IMO, the Dell reps provide good customer service, but are VERY misinformed.
[Dell Streak 7] Donmotobike:
Sadly - probably true...same reason why Staples selling them at $199 - most $200 tablets has Froyo - anything above will be priced $300-400 and Dell is ruthless business machine -why would they update Streak 7 if its gonna cost them money:cool:....don't be sad - Honeystreak from DJ Steve awesome - I am using 1.5 version(Xoom) least buggy of the three in my opinion and at least you get Netflix to work which is saying alot compared to Asus Transformer or Acer tablets....:D

But maybe at least DJ Steve has another machine to target for the ROM... since the Acer A100 in Honeycomb just hit the streets today...
