Just got off the phone with some tech guy over at dell. he said it would be about a month, that I would get an ota notification. So lame, flashed back to stock for nothing....gg dell, bunch of @ss clowns.....
[Dell Streak 7] khaytsus:
So you reverted based on what, someone here downloading drivers from Dell's website, and that's Dell's fault? :rolleyes:
[Dell Streak 7] jayfr76:
No, based on 10 different sites saying it was slated to get hc this month, Dell did however say it was going to be 3.2. The Tech recommended that I not upgrade though. didn't really say why...
[Dell Streak 7] serranom:
NOOB

sorry guys but new here. couple of questions. is the honeycomb that dell releasing for wifi only? or for 4g version too. would like the honeycomb version but unsure which one to install. or should i hold my breath for the update through dell/t-mobile
[Dell Streak 7] FredOak3:
Dell's announcement was for the 7 WiFi only, but you know once it's out DJ Steve or someone will work on it
[Dell Streak 7] pyraxiate:
Not here on XDA he isnt . . . . . .
[Dell Streak 7] FredOak3:
No I know that but for those that need that flash fix they know where he now lives :)

So any news about honey ?
[Dell Streak 7] kosenn:
Here is what I got from Dell product support as of today:

Dell The Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) operating system is expected to launch by October 2011.

Some new features of Android 3.0:

Optimized for 7-inch and 8.9-inch devices

Zoom-to-Fill compatibility mode (for apps designed to run on smaller screens)

Expands support for more mobile processors such as NVIDIA Tegra 2 and Qualcomm’s processors

Fixes some bugs and improves hardware acceleration

Provides updates to widgets and apps (e.g., Movies, Movie Studio, Music, etc.)
[Dell Streak 7] bsoplinger:
Dumb question...

Does anyone know if the spiffy zoom mode helps out with the incompatiblity issues older programs were having with Honeycomb tablets like the Zoom which ran 3.0 or 3.1?
[Dell Streak 7] dwcasey:
Same here. Can't seem to find stock dell DS7 wifi only img/rom
[Dell Streak 7] bluesy_92:
I found it, and it's worked for me before. Not anymore, though. There was a thread somewhere that had replacement .img files for the NVFlash restore tutorial.
[Dell Streak 7] sdelliott31:
I have a wfi only streak from staples. It is Stock Rom but is rooted. There was nthing yet on the update page for me. Please Santa Dell.
[Dell Streak 7] WankerP:
It's 11:35pm Pacific Time and no update...still getting No software updates available at this time msg. :(
[Dell Streak 7] bluesy_92:
I just had an online live-chat with a Dell sales rep who says that there is no information available on Honeycomb. Since other XDA members seem to be having better experiences, and have mentioned the update page acting differently, I hope this is just a fluke :-/
[Dell Streak 7] fliberdygibits:
Carrier version ?

I see alot of murmurs and whispers about Dell being on the verge of releasing OTA Honeycomb update for the wifi Only version of the S7..... is there ANY word on the T-Mobile version?? Or is that dependent on T-Mobile rather than Dell?
[Dell Streak 7] bluesy_92:
I think that it's just as dependant on T-Mobile. But the fact that an official Honeycomb build might be released...can't see why they wouldn't want it.
[Dell Streak 7] Xi2wiked:
the tmobile rep i spoke with today told me they have recieved the update from dell, and are doing internal testing. they have no set release date yet.....
[Dell Streak 7] khaytsus:
Update page looks exactly the same to me? Besides one person who hit a web service bug or such?
[Dell Streak 7] BBurago65:
10:00am Eastern time

...., Nothing Yet
[Dell Streak 7] danny727:
So is this real?

I was thinking about picking one of these up today, but only if it gets the sweet honey. Today is the last day for that $100 off coupon at staples and that would be nice deal for a honey tab with a name like Dell behind it.
[Dell Streak 7] khaytsus:
2 weeks return policy, if you can find one grab it. If HC doesn't arrive, or the bizarre inconsistent battery life pisses you off, return it.

Or lack of a microUSB, or the sleep of death that happens about once a day, or the poor viewing angle in Landscape mode, or....

If this thing wasn't so snappy I'd return it. But speed and GPS are making me hang onto it for now.
[Dell Streak 7] danny727:
I have a Gtab now, so this has to be better than that :)

I would be using it to put Copilot on for gps ( not great but it works )

And lazy stuff around the house ... Light games... Facebook...

is the screen ok for that?

I know it's not a transformer but for in the car gps sun will give glair, hope not to bad. I would have a charger in the game so battery nit a problem.
[Dell Streak 7] khaytsus:
Yeah, should be fine for that sort. Screen is much better than the GTab :) Not sure about backlight brightness for car GPS navigation, I keep saying I need to try it but don't have a car mount for a tablet yet.
[Dell Streak 7] frogman74:
I use it in the car for Gps, Works fine.

I have Copilot 8 and 9 on it. 9 looks way better btw.

The only Problem is the dang mount, it barely fits in the "universal" one I have.
[Dell Streak 7] danny727:
Cool, I have Copilot 9 premium also, like I said it's not great but it works on the Gtab, but the Gtab just isn't cutting it for me. I made a custom car mount for the Gtab and it works great, but that will always depend on what car or truck you have. I'll make one for this and start a new thread with how I mount it so it might help you later.

Thanks for the info guts.
[Dell Streak 7] crzayalex:
As of 9:36 pacific time, no update yet on wifi only version.
[Dell Streak 7] Xi2wiked:
Call dell, have them transfer you to the mobile dell streak 7 dept. They will confirm honeycomb has been released. Unless they lied to me and the other people that posted that dell told them it was released as well.....
[Dell Streak 7] asjimene:
As of 9:54 am Arizona time no update for the wifi only version. Hope to see it soon!
[Dell Streak 7] Xi2wiked:
Also, just fyi, tmobile stated they have released honeycomb only in china so far.....

So its definetly in the works there....
[Dell Streak 7] danny727:
NM, found a web page that had a copy,

Staples has the link down now.

Anyone have another way to print the Stapkes coupon out? I had it linked but never printed it, today is the last day for the sale and the link isn't working :-)

Thanks for any help.

[Dell Streak 7] Xi2wiked:
Call dell and have them push the update :D
[Dell Streak 7] rockhunter:
When someone gets HC upgrade installed please post wither the Netflix app still streams or not. I have another Tablet with HC but not another with fully functional Netflix yet, I might delay upgrading for now.
[Dell Streak 7] cobrasdh:
Here is what the dell service just told me. Who knows if he has a clue what he is talking about though.

It shows here that we don't have the detail on when the upgrade will be released or if it will be released any time soon. However, once it is available, it will be downloaded to your Tablet Overt-The-Air (OTA) as long as you are connected to the Internet, Shelby.
[Dell Streak 7] bsoplinger:
I just purchased my Dell streak today at Staples. I own the 10" Archos Android tablet. Took it with me and just showed the cashier the coupon on the Archos screen. They had no problem giving me the $100 off that way. At just $199 + tax, especially if Honeycomb is really arriving, this is an awesome deal.
[Dell Streak 7] khaytsus:
That's a whole lot of non-information. We all knew that already. If a release is released, it'll be OTA...
[Dell Streak 7] cobrasdh:
Well excuse me! Jeez.
[Dell Streak 7] papermate:
I bought mine at staples today for 200 also because I read there will be a HC update. If it doesnt come, I'm bringing it back.
[Dell Streak 7] Tannerlynn:
Dell just confirmed that we will be geting 3.2 in 2 to 3 weeks!!
[Dell Streak 7] edtuckerartist:
The world ends in 8 days :p
[Dell Streak 7] GhostXtreme:
Ok now I am mad ...:mad::mad:

First it was available now .. then it was available in 24 hours and now it is 2-3 weeks ...

Is this a scam to prevent people who got the $200 staples dell streak not to return it and keep past the return period ? Dell will then finally deny the update all together ...

Please all call Dell Mobility Support at 1-800-308-3355 ....
[Dell Streak 7] Tannerlynn:
Me too!! :mad: :mad:

I got the $200 staples deal last week bc I wanted an Android tablet and we were gonna get HC on the Streak and now they keep delaying the update all together. Someone call and tell Dell we are waiting....
[Dell Streak 7] H0daddy:
I was just wondering if you talked to Dell or Dell mobility? (not sure if it makes a difference). I will send off another email to mobility to see what they say. Either way, it's good to know it's on the way. :)
[Dell Streak 7] Xi2wiked:
i wanna find out where they are keeping the update on their server...........

doing a scan now, only 28,600 more urls to scan then i should have their whole directory. Now, i just hope they have it listed.... :eek:
[Dell Streak 7] Xi2wiked:
grrrrrrrrr,

Mobileupdate.dell.com is protected, cant view the files............. :(
[Dell Streak 7] metal1f3:
I had started a thread asking for the URL for the wifi only update site. You can manually check by going here http://mobileupdate.dell.com/?version=GLUNB1A133830 . Thanks goes to manii for getting that for me.
[Dell Streak 7] ccheung:
I got Streak 7 from Staples $200 deal. I want to love it, but the poor view angle prompts me to turn it. Does anybody have the same struggle as me?
[Dell Streak 7] khaytsus:
Yeah, the landscape view angle sucks.
[Dell Streak 7] bluesy_92:
The sad part is, if it's true that the Chinese already have the Honeycomb ROM, then that means it exists somewhere, and we don't have it :-(
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
He's not gonna find it, the S7 has no update.pkgs for any of the wifi roms (338, 340) and it's been out for nearly as long as the 4g model. Also missing is the initial 322 rom. The ONLY rom available as a pkg is 336 as an update to 322.

Dell never releases the initial rom version as a pkg, as they only release UPDATEs and installing the same rom on top of itself doesnt count as an update.

Everything is stored in http://mobileupdate.dell.com/PackageProductionLocations/ and that dir is protected. Only way to get links is though the normal update urls. And as I know the methodiology I'm either the first to find a new update, or the first to unpack it and report on the details (for the Streak/Streak7/Venue).

the url would likely look like:

http://mobileupdate.dell.com/PackageProductionLocations/LG7_x0y_zzzzz_30.pkg

x is probubly gonna be 5 so it would look like 501/502/etc as 4xx is likely to be GB for if/when they release it for the S5

y is whatever exact build they release, might not even be 401

zzzzz is the build number, it'll prob be in the 20-22000 range estimating from how long they usually take to release stuff.

the file wont even be uploaded until like minutes before the update page is updated and update notifications hit stock s7's

so it's all a waste of time, if it is ready to ship and not on ota it's sitting on some build computer that isnt hosting files on their website

Keep in mind that dell like normal businesses dont release on the weekend, if they do release earliest is monday when they get to office.

On an unrelated note: the S10 might still have interesting files that might be of use to the S7
[Dell Streak 7] rsfinsrq:
Considering there may be a OTA update for the WIFI S7, it's ben my experience (with Streak 5) that you need a stock recovery to install .pkg files. I have rooted and installed CWM on my S7 and cannot find the stock recovery for the 338 build. All the nvflash files for the WIFI ROM are rooted with CWM. Will the 336 recovery work on the 338 build? Does anyone have the stock recovery for the 338 build? Or is the stock recovery required to update on the S7?

Thanks.
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
336 and 338 are different regions so they wont work. You overwrote the recovery when you installed clockwork. If/when HC comes out I'll upload the matching recovery like with normal updates. (I simply dont post much at all on s7 updates as there's only be a single OTA update in it's lifetime so far)
[Dell Streak 7] rsfinsrq:
Thanks TheManii!
[Dell Streak 7] H0daddy:
Seeing that tomorrow IS a Monday AND August 1st, well i'm hoping.....
[Dell Streak 7] H0daddy:
FWIW, my reply from dellmobility 7-31 @ 9AM CST

Hi,

The update has been released as a beta version for some regions of US and still we are undergoing certain testing along with different carriers to check the compatibility on different networks. Once the update is released officially it will be posted on the Dell website. For more information regarding the update you can visit

http://support.dell.com/support/top...k/streak7?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&SystemID=TBLT_STRK7 and keep you self posted on any news and updates regarding Honeycomb updates.

Regards

Bijal..

Original Message Follows: ------------------------

Hi, Ronaque,

The update has still not been pushed out. I was wondering if you had an update as to when this will be pushed out. The streak community is really looking forward to it.

Thanks so much for your help and have a great evening.

Dave

Streak 7 wifi version.

So, this really doesn't help at the moment. Hoping for a wifi push tomorrow.
[Dell Streak 7] treubber:
i expect dell to keep stringing us along. If you want honeycomb and actually want your ds7 to feel like a tablet,I'd say flash honeystreak from dj-steve. I'm sure he'll figure out how to incorporate the official update once its released. But if you hold your breath to wait for dell...well you might be holding your breath for a while. Chances are they'll release the 10 inch version firsg in the us anyway so they can get more sales for that one.
[Dell Streak 7] FredOak3:
10:07 Eastern USA and nothing so far, just the no update screen
[Dell Streak 7] chrisfisher864:
Its 12:25 in south carolina and as of now there is no update and I just called dell and the lady that I could not understand said that there is no word on when it will be out and that when they get word they would let me know.. funny thing is she had no clue who she was talking too but she also told me its when google releases it as a update ....
[Dell Streak 7] thcrw739:
If you type in "honeycomb" on the streak support page automated Q&A thing you get :

"Dell	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.

As new Android OS versions become available, you will be notified by your carrier on your device."

Kind of sounds like it's a real thing, other wise why take the time to program it to say that.

[Dell Streak 7] dancforfreedom:
I started a thread on the dell forums a few days ago before this thread got so big.

Maybe if every one here showed interest in the enquiry it might push for a response.

Added a comment, thought I think Dell totally ignores that area for fear of reading the truth
[Dell Streak 7] jpmi23:
My turn...

I thought I'd get on board with bugging Dell about this so I jumped on a Live Chat and hit them up via Twitter. Here's the screen grabs of my lack of success...

Via Chat: LINK

A break down of my findings... Nothing. :(
[Dell Streak 7] illdill:
It means "To Be Announced"... Classic. Thanks for the clarification.
[Dell Streak 7] jpmi23:
I know! What the heck?! I'm 32 years old "Nina". I know my acronyms. Jerk.
[Dell Streak 7] Z4nd4r:
From my experience having worked both in retail and call centers, the "help" staff are usually the least knowledgeable ones out there. Not their fault; they just have crappy training (OK, for some of them it's their fault). Truth be told, the people on these boards probably know far, far more about the Streak 7 then the tech support at Dell ever will.
[Dell Streak 7] ctiger:
I replied on the other thread for official HC on DS7. Anyways, I returned it to staples. I also noticed the view angle problem. I used it mostly in no light condition, and I can feel that my two eyes seemed saw different, so the screen sorta glare, made me uncomfy. I can't tell exactly what it was. Is that typical for larger screen tabs? anybody?

Also, I didn't get any case for it, holding it is another not preferred thing, it is relatively heavy, and hard to grab, might be too short in landscape mode. I have a sony ebook, that thing was just great to hold, this one is hard.
[Dell Streak 7] Z4nd4r:
Other tabs have better screens, but if you find the Streak 7 heavy to hold you're going to hate the others. Even lighter ones will feel heavier due to leverage constraints (since they're all 10.1"). Try the Samsing Galaxy Tab 10.1; best screen out there and the lightest on the market.
[Dell Streak 7] papermate:
I returned mine today, no official HC is the deal breaker. I only bought it because of the rumors of the update last saturday that turned out false. The unofficial HC isnt 100% so its not worth keeping. And the nvflash back looked jivy as hell. The op of the nvflash restore got stuck at dell boot just like everyone else that used it and then managed to get it back because of the previous cwn flash. Too risky.
[Dell Streak 7] khaytsus:
The Nook Color has the best screen out there, I have one.. Love the screen, but wanted GPS, better speakers, Tegra 2, dedicated keys etc..

I would typically get 2-3 days without charging on the NC vs 1 day on the Streak 7, and I hate having to charge with the pain in the ass dock connector on the Streak. The screen resolution I can deal with, the viewing angle bugs me..

But I'm still not convinced I'm going to return it.. I have until Friday.
[Dell Streak 7] FredOak3:
I have had 3 tablets now all low end, then I got a Nook Color and went through all the various configs with autonooter and manualnooter and CM7 and eventually returned it to stock and got the DS7 as I had a deal that Dell offered.

It's been decent, not great, but sufficient for my needs. A few apps that I would have liked don't work but not a deal breaker.

Then I was in BJs the other day and the are going to carry the Transformer for $350...now Dell better get on the stick and get us some HC because that unit is looking awful tasty. :)
[Dell Streak 7] Z4nd4r:
The Nook Color has a great screen, but the new Sammy has a PLS LCD. Very nice screen, though I don't think it's quite as pixel dense as the Nook's. In any case, all are better than the Streak 7's screen (which isn't that bad, but it's by no means top end).
[Dell Streak 7] gsmtmofan:
This is hilarious since Tmobile isnt in china :confused:
[Dell Streak 7] jpmi23:
Additionally, if HC were actually released... any where in the world... XDA would have it. I'd be curious to hear if ANYONE has actually received the update. I have yet to find one single note, or tweet, or blog, or any rumbling on the net about anyone getting it. I'm really starting to think it's not going to happen, not officially anyway. Bummer. It could use it, IMO.
[Dell Streak 7] darknitewolf:
I've heard rumor about Android 4, Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) which will run on both phones and tablets. It will be released by the end of this year. I wonder if the DS 7 hardware can handle it or not. Can it be the reason for Dell not investing money and time on HC for DS7 because of ICS?
[Dell Streak 7] H0daddy:
Well, from everything I've seen and read both online and from other members here, i'm fairly confident it will happen. It's just a matter of when. It really irks me though, that Dell feeds us a line of crap telling us it's being sent out. It better happen soon or that Iconia is gonna look mighty tasty. Hmm. Cake?
[Dell Streak 7] Z4nd4r:
This isn't Apple; Android is usually designed such that newer versions actually make older hardware faster. I know this was true on my OG Droid (worked better with Gingerbread than with Eclair or FroYo).

Also, Honeycomb was rushed to market to get into the tablet wars; manufacturers were clamouring for it from Google. This is why Google hasn't released the source code, yet- it's not quite finished. I have a feeling that IceCreamSandwich is the real, next OS. I see no reason why the Streak 7 would be incapable of handling it, seeing as it's the same, basic hardware as the XOOM, GTab 10.1, Iconia, Transformer, G2X, etc. Actually, I'd be willing to bet my OG Droid will be able to run ICS.
[Dell Streak 7] ctiger:
I don't know, but the way I used it, I hold that for too long. For a bigger screen, I might be able to put it somewhere? I'll have to buy one first to test with.

That's what made me really pissed off, from everywhere, you can see that it's gonna happen, but it is not yet, as I said, I found a post from Feb 2011 that dell's going HC, and now it's Aug, and it's still not released. I know it's not like click a button, but give me a break, how hard is it? The only reason I can think of is that it won't really generate too much revenue for Dell to do so, because I do software, it will be just ten people for 1 month, the HC is there, ready, all others can do it in weeks, why not Dell? If it takes them so long, I don't have a reason to stay with them anyways. Of course, that said, it's simply that I was still in the 15 days free return period. If not or if it's too good a deal, I can live with it and wait, but for my situation, not 100% satisfied means 0%, it's back. Sorry if I hurt others feeling here, because many friends here own the DS7 and can't really return it to get all money back.
[Dell Streak 7] khaytsus:
Anything in Feb would have been nonsense, as they could barely get Honeycomb to work on the Xoom. If anything it was a homebrew Honeycomb at that point.

And keep in mind Dell has been very clear and careful about their upgrades so far. It's capable of OTA upgrades. Nothing about there WILL be upgrades.
[Dell Streak 7] GoldenTiger:
I'm hoping it'll hit soon... I want an official Honeycomb :)!
[Dell Streak 7] chrisfisher864:
I had a chat with dell today and the lady told me that they have no update at this time and when you even mention honeycomb they act like they don't know what it is!!! Uggggghhhhhhh I think I will give the streak to my wife and I will get a galaxy tab ...
[Dell Streak 7] bluesy_92:
If you go to the automated customer service thingy on the Dell website, and search Honeycomb, it says that Honeycomb WILL be released for the Streak 7 this year. On the contrary of what you said, Dell has directly stated that there WILL be an upgrade. They better come through.
[Dell Streak 7] ScottZ0:

I went to that auction site and initially looked for iPad mounts but then got smart and looked for tablet mounts instead. Often the same thing but cheaper.

To get back on topic...

I to just purchased mine with that Staples deal with hopes of HC but find that its a nice enough tablet with 2.2 that I'll keep it anyway and just see it as an extra if HC really shows up.
