Don't think they have started the update as yet if you notice dell twitter Face book and there forum has been quiet since yesterday i bet they are getting bombarded with questions

Dell told me my device unlocked purchased from dell baseband 00 will be the first
[Streak 5 General] SAman1:
Sure the Streaks good on 1.6 but I still find the shorcomings too much of a compromise to not want 2.2 desperately. The poor camera & flash will hopefully be improved, the occasional freezing and glitches will hopefully be cured, the phone dialler search-as-you-type functionality will be a welcome feature I got used to on my previous phone, wifi router capability. will make life easier instead of carrying a 3g dongle around everywhere I go and hopefully we can use the flash leds as a torch, amongst other benefits. So, yes I also can't wait for this Froyo update!
[Streak 5 General] Godo_PPL:
Yes, don't get me wrong, I am eagerly awaiting froyo and want it ASAP.

But I guess the reason we "need" froyo so bad is because other handsets have it already ;p
[Streak 5 General] SAman1:
Actually, irrespective of whether other phones have it or not, my need is based purely on the fact that my phone is incomplete in its current state. ...and hopefully Dell is fully aware of this which is why they promised the update would be released not long after they first released the Streak. So we dont want to wait anymore Dell!

@iStormUK @Dickinstein I hear your pain, sorry for the delay. I have just seen a 2.2 sample, it seems to be in its final hours.
[Streak 5 General] ipguy:
This means another week of waiting before its finally approved and moves through the proper channels until it finds itself on the update servers
[Streak 5 General] lufc:
That makes 2 of us in 4 hrs it will be a day overdue

just cannot understand why they would say we are starting on the 15th then nothing not even a quick we are sorry having technical crap we should be ready by the 16th 17th or what ever

I am happy with 1.6 so not in a massive hurry to upgrade its not like life or death it just annoys me why they say we are starting 15th and nothing :)

Thats it my rant over with
[Streak 5 General] ipguy:
in the mean time im going to revert back to 1.6,00
[Streak 5 General] flub:
No the phone is unlocked/Sim Free, it is nothing to do with Tesco Mobile. I just purchased from Tesco Direct thats all, It has no carrier brands anywhere on phone,box or software. As I stated before I enquired & Tesco told me it was as supplied by Dell
[Streak 5 General] lufc:
Yes you are right mate i was looking at them today in my tesco it does have 2.1 on it and its unlocked baseband 00

Must say i was surprised to see the 2.1 on it
[Streak 5 General] flub:
This debate came about as OrionBG said there was no offical 2.1 release for unlocked Streaks just the 02 version & that mine was probably an 02 handset
[Streak 5 General] flub:
Thank You at last someone agrees
[Streak 5 General] fards:
you could dump the system and boot images, fairly easily.

but I'd rather get the entire lot that's in the pkg... its a pity dell don't just put a catalogue of their releases up on their website!
[Streak 5 General] fards:
verrrrrrrrrrrrry interesting..

they are charging 300yuan (28gbp.. thanks egrouse) to flash the latest chinese froyo build..

[Streak 5 General] htnprm:
Seriously. Can Dell organise a piss up in a brewery? I grabbed the Streak when I found the Samsung Galaxy Tab didn't have an ear speaker for phone calls. Didn't want to not be able to make/take calls if/when a headset wasn't available. Didn't realise that a speaker-phone call would be an option on those rare occasions, so I'm looking at my 1.6 running Streak (With no Exchange support) and sighing. Should have bought the Galaxy Tab...Should have bought the Galaxy Tab...Should have bought the Galaxy Tab.
[Streak 5 General] zgmf-x322a:
300 rmb is quite a good price :D
[Streak 5 General] zgmf-x322a:
i dun like froyo's notification bar................i like the one in 1.6 and 2.1 ><
[Streak 5 General] fards:
dell uk facebook seems to be getting agitated...

no-one has pointed out the dell US posted the upgrade was starting yesterday... yet ;)

Understand all the questions and comments regarding the upcoming 2.2 update. Our post on 12 November stated that OTA will begin before the end of November and this still stands. We are working to get both the EU Dell and O2 updates to you as quickly as possible, but want to ensure that the update process goes smoothly. If there is any update to the dates, including O2 we will post them as soon as we have them.

then

Dell Home UK As soon as we have a solid date I will announce it. I know we are working away with O2 to get it done as quickly as possible. But I do not know the answer as of right now.
[Streak 5 General] Fazziebear:
Crikey can everyone calm down?

It's only an update its not gold bullion. Or world peace Lol
[Streak 5 General] htnprm:
I've missed three meetings due to a lack of notifications for my calendar since the Touchdown trial expired. I haven't bought license for Touchdown because Froyo should do what I need it to. I'm also looking at a host of Android apps that require 2.x. It is supremely frustrating to have half a device, and the way Dell is pushing out this update is an abortion. Have you ever heard Steve say "Apple will be rolling out iOS updates in phases"? If you think Streak users are wound up, can you imagine how Apple fanboys would react? Froyo has been available for over half a year for my sake.
[Streak 5 General] eug:
If Dell didn't have to deal with carrier customization, it wouldn't have to be in phases. It'd be interesting to see what WP7 updates are like as there's no carrier customization, just minor manufacturer customization (like preinstalled apps).

Apple deals with firmware delays by not giving ANY information out at all. I prefer a manufacturer who's more open.
[Streak 5 General] htnprm:
Agreed. Dell's attempt to add lock-in^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hvalue plus carrier's attempts to do the same is a huge pain in the arse. When people bash Google and Android, they need to bash the handset manufacturers and the carriers.

That being said, they should be able to make the updates to all unlocked devices available in one snap of their fingers. No stagged rollout. Bang...It's just there.

Yes. It will be interesting, epecially with the mixed messages on this subject from Microsoft, OEMs and carriers...:-)

As do I. But again, this rollout is an abortion. Come up with a realistic release date. Announce that date. Press <enter> to push the files. Press <enter> to change the file security. Press <enter> to change the update page. Done.
[Streak 5 General] dacho:
I have tried and it just gets stuck with black screen so I had to go back to o2 2.1 with baseband 21.
[Streak 5 General] borijess:
Its funny how there are a ton of internet news that froyo is out for the dell streak but not one person has stated they received it. This is ridiculous, there lucky I love my streak with 1.6.
[Streak 5 General] htnprm:
Yup. Hammering the Google news/Twitter search for news of the inevitable delay/postponement, and it's just the same announcement that Dell "...has released..." or "...is releasing Froyo on the 15th..."
[Streak 5 General] cu_ninja:
Sort of unrelated but did anybody happen to catch this article over at ZDNet?

http://m.zdnet.com/blog/open-source/the-lesson-of-google-android-fail/7794

When new releases are delayed (like Dell's Froyo) do y'all think the average user sees that it's Dell's fault or Google's?
[Streak 5 General] htnprm:
"What's Froyo" - Average user

Seriously. Most people buying Android phones have no idea what Android is. They just know their getting a smartphone and it's 'like and iPhone but it's not an iPhone'.

Most people who care know it is a combination of the OEMs and the carriers.
[Streak 5 General] da_jojo:
still nothing...

tried the link for update but it got stuck on the download&install button.

as it needs to be initiated by the updateprogram in the streak this probably not gonna work anyways.

im on eu baseband GAUSB1A111100-EU
[Streak 5 General] htnprm:
Anyone up for a bet on how long it will be before Dell actually says anything about the update? My guess is they quietly announce a delay on Friday afternoon, possibly specifying technical problems/bugs with the release.
[Streak 5 General] eug:
I agree - nearly all my friends who use android phones don't know or care about 2.1 or 2.2 or whatever. The phone works, they're happy. It's only the techy ones who know or care about versions.
[Streak 5 General] ipguy:
Lets tell jenn at streaksmart, she should post an article
[Streak 5 General] da_jojo:
lol

i think its gonna be out on friday.

anyone wanna bet where it will be released first ? :p

i want it coz it has flash10.1 so i can watch my tv remotly in the middle of nowhere.
[Streak 5 General] Krisbo:
I'll take that bet. I think there's no way it will be out by Friday :P
[Streak 5 General] Kohawk09:
My bet is the 19th. seems to sound right :p

Then december 3rd for US streaks. Both dates are based on highy scientific formulas of course ;)
[Streak 5 General] ruskival:
Just A Thought

if this is a bit off topic i apologize in advance, but ive noticed a trend, ive had the galaxy S and S.E X10 in australia, following and using XDA for all my updates and hacks and what not, in every handsets threads there are thousands of complaints about delays and problems when updates happen and unsatisfied people who just want want want, as much as i want the update froyo as well, but in all seriousness i prefer the dell streak over the X10 on 1.6 or 2.1 and over the Galaxy S with 2.1. less issues.

at least for me.

all the Manufacturers have faults and problems and unhappy custmers that bought their devices but so far the STREAK is the best of them for me.
[Streak 5 General] Hcoberdalhoff:
You can reset the streak to factory defaults, this also resets the trial period for touchdown.
[Streak 5 General] rboschman:
DELL-AmyB on the Dell Mobile Forums is saying -

US beta Streaks - sometime this week

EU unlocked Streaks - next week

which does actually match up with what was earlier said, being that the unlocked Streaks would get updated over a 2 week period starting 11/15. We just wanted to believe they meant we would get it on the 15th.

Only time will tell
[Streak 5 General] adzman808:
sorry for the confusion

i've physically seen the streak in tesco & physically seen that it runs 2.1 (which bar the o2 arena desktop backround looks to me* the same as the o2 2.1)

the point i was trying to make is that despite what some people say, 2.1 has clearly been made by dell

just because 2.1 was originally only supplied by o2 doesn't mean that dell didn't make it.

i'd guess that dell made every base version of the OS

well unless of course they're coming here & downloading Steve's work

@Steve did you get a pp donation from dell ;)

*to quantify that - me playign with the tesco streak on display in store, whislt trying to remember what mine looked like whilst on 2.1 is hardly scientific!!
[Streak 5 General] Godo_PPL:
That must be the most informative and constructive post on this thread :)

That is exactly how I have understood it as well, but I must say I too was "fooled" to think that the updates would arrive on 15. Nov.

but it is clear now that Beta streaks will get it first, and then unlocked ones.

She did say the updates would start rolling out the 15. Nov, the information that Beta Streaks would get it before the unlocked Streaks I think was said on the 16. Nov
[Streak 5 General] hjlow:
nobody with a beta unit is probably still stuck at the official 1.6 build :)
[Streak 5 General] androidboy13:
Is it Just me or has everything about 2.2 seem to have died on the Web, no more updates, no more questions, just silence, kinda makes me nervous that this isn't going to happen at all.
[Streak 5 General] lufc:
Its like i was told when i contacted Dell

They said the update will start on the 15th and so on and so on and they told me they said it will be Europe then the us and so on but he said we did not say that Europe would get it on the 15th and the us on the 17th we just said we will be starting on the 15th but the first device may not get updated to 5,6,7 days later

Like the rest of you i presumed it would start on the 15th how wrong we were, going by what he was saying i would say nothing will happen this week or i will be very surprised if it does :)
[Streak 5 General] quikt:
We need US beta streak owners who have not updated the rom to report in here. Or US beta streak owners downgrade and report back.
[Streak 5 General] p51d007:
Ditto...

I'm a "techie", but 1.6 WORKS. I haven't had any issues with it.

Now, I came from the PPC era with the old Dell Axim PDA, then graduated to

windows phones with the HTC tilt, then the fuze, then the touch pro2.

The thing is, with the streak, out of the box, works perfectly for me.

The previous 3 windows phones, you had to install tools, booster apps, tweak

the registry to get any performance out of it.
[Streak 5 General] htnprm:
How many apps are you trying to install from the marketplace?

Edit - And you're running Windows ME on your PC? ;-)
[Streak 5 General] c0rnholio:
I'm personally far more concerned because of all the vulnerabilities in 1.6 but that may be just me because I work in this area and am paranoid by nature. And yes, some pretty useful apps won't run on old 1.6...

Cheers
[Streak 5 General] rboschman:
I have a US beta streak, still on 1.6, and still no 2.2 update from Dell
[Streak 5 General] quikt:
Thanks for responding! The wait continues ;)
[Streak 5 General] Ravi Shanghavi:
I've got one of the US Beta 00 baseband streaks. And no update for me. Though I am currently in Canada. So if they're checking IPs I guess I'm stuck waiting. I tried with SIM and without. wifi and not. No update for me. yet. Going by how much of a clusterf#2$ dell's streak launch was.. I'm not really surprised with the update being a flop. Ravi Shanghavi, Ottawa
[Streak 5 General] htnprm:
I really don't buy this "staged rollout from the 15th" stuff. No news of anyone anywhere getting the update, and I think the lack of comms from Dell is CYA.
[Streak 5 General] htnprm:
Ha! Think I've found what's happened to the release of Froyo ;):

[Streak 5 General] androidboy13:
Wow, I think your right. All the Dell forums and everything just went silent then 24 hours later a Dell dude leaves. Things must be a little chaotic over there and I bet Dell Streak owners are going to pay the price, with no FROYO!, now if i can only figure out how to root the Rogers Dell Streak that I bought 3 days ago.
[Streak 5 General] Krisbo:
I got impatient and installed Steve's Froyo build. Not a fan of Stage at all. Used it for 5 minutes and went straight to Launcher Pro.
[Streak 5 General] Krisbo:
I wouldn't go that far dude.

When I first played with the streak it was running 1.6 and I loved it. From there it has just gotten better for me. 2.1 was great because I could use Launcher Pro and 2.2 is blazing fast, especially for web browsing.

I don't feel Dell has ripped me off at all, I would just like to know what's happening with the official Froyo. I prefer to be kept in the loop, that's what annoyed me about the Testra Desire and it seems I'm lucky enough to have walked into the same situation here... :p
[Streak 5 General] htnprm:
Got a link? Last time I looked at the install process for custom 2.x ROMs for the Streak there were a few more steps with a few more risks than I was willing to take. I live on my Streak and can't afford to brick it or have it out of action for a day or futz around for hours trying to get a custom ROM installed or trying to un-brick it.

GUIDE

http://android.modaco.com/content/d...uide-to-upgrading-and-downgrading-the-streak/

I got confused about fastboot at first but it's not that hard. All you have to do is download the android SDK and extract the files. In the extracted files, there's a folder called tools, now this is where it came in handy that I have a lot of MS-DOS experience, open commend prompt (Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt).

I extracted the SDK to c:\androidsdk so in command prompt, I first had to navigate to the tools folder by typing:

cd\androidsdk\tools

I then made sure the recovery.alt.img was in the tools folder and typed these commands:

fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.alt.img

fastboot -i 0x413c reboot

Before completing the next steps in the guide, I had to download http://build2.streakdroid.com/update-release-1.1.1.zip then rename it to update.zip and copy it to my micro sd card.

In Steve's thread, he says that you need to upgrade to 1.1.1 before 1.3 so I just went along with it. One thing to note is that when in recovery mode, I had to use the second step of the camera button in order to select (remember, it's a two stage camera button).

If you've made it to 1.1.1 you will find it quite easy to get to 1.3, just follow the steps in Steve's thread.

Hope this helps,

Kris
[Streak 5 General] dead101:
wow one of the best post i have seen in ages well done boy... but what we have to learn from this that its not about 2.2 update its about 2.3 3.0 and so on we going to in same sh*t everytime , but you just ace man lol :)

I bet Someone like DJ Steve will come with gingerbread before dell officialy air its 2.2 update for everyone
[Streak 5 General] Troute:
Another keyboard warrior!

I've had my Streak for quite some time, never had a problem with 1.6, don't have a problem with 2.1, I'm not a liar.
[Streak 5 General] krumbs:
Even I am tired of waiting and want to switch to Steve's 1.30 update.

But only AT&T and O2 versions seem to be mentioned in the modaco guide. What about the rest of the world?

I have an unlocked Streak bought in India. Will i be able to update to Steve's offering and still maintain the product id/ baseband version? Currently it is gausb1a111800-eu. Or will my phone end up being identified as an O2 or AT&T version?

Thanks!

[Streak 5 General] CyberGhos:
I guess your tolerance for a working phone is above that of most Streakers I ever known. I am curious about your ownership and experience with the Streak. How long did u have your streak with 1.6? Have u ever had the phone responded to nothing when you have a coming call and have to call back after the call become missed? Have you ever had the phone screen just went black and blank on you and have to wait for a long time till it works again (or pull the battery)? Has your Streak's notification ever stopped working and u missed all the calls and texts till reset? and how often you have to force close your browser, kill some tasks before you can continue? How many apps are available to you on the market? Maybe you are lucky enough to have a working donut on your phone, but all the Streakers I ever known have my same problems. Just hope my Streak survives my temper till the update to fix all the crap.
[Streak 5 General] jay slasher:
Does this apply to Canadian builds as well? I too would like to update to Steve's 2.2 build.

Build #: 7921

Baseband: GAUSB1A111732-US
[Streak 5 General] SAman1:
I've also had similar issues with my streak over the past 2 months of ownership, but its not been frequent enough to make me wanna dump this device ...YET. Perhaps partly due to my past experience with winmobile phones, including the HD2 most recently. I guess I've come to almost expect smarphones to behave badly, altho I can see how it could make some people insanely crazy.
[Streak 5 General] Troute:
Hmmm.. Had the phone a couple of months before O2 released the 2.1 upgrade.

Never had the phone go blank on me.

My Streak is Data/Text only, no voice calls.

Notifications have never stopped that I'm aware of.

Never had to force close the browser (I use Skyfire/Opera/Dolphin combo, not the stock browser)

I kill tasks regularly using Advanced Task Killer, no point having tasks running that you're not using.

Apps on the market? no idea, lots more than are on my Android 1.5 Apad for sure.

[Streak 5 General] Godo_PPL:
For Streak customers with Google Android 1.6 or 2.1, the Streak Froyo Update will be completed in two phases.

Phase 1 : The first OTA (over-the-air) update will be available to customers who purchased their Streaks as unlocked units. The rollout of the upgrade will be gradual with different regions and versions of Donut and Eclair updated after this process begins. When a user’s device is ready for an update, the user will be notified by an update icon in the notification bar after a power up. A user can also manually check for an update by going to Settings – About Device and selecting System Updates. Devices ready for update will then be taken through the update process.

Phase 2: Eventually, users on devices locked to a specific carrier (i.e. you can only use your carrier’s SIM in the device) will start seeing updates as we work with our carrier partners for technical approval.

Taken from: http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/dsn/document?docid=376503¨

EDIT: Really like the Eventually.. part ;) Glad I have an DellDirect device :D

Meaning you might get it, some day, and if we strike delays [Which we are] we won't have to tell you because these are hidden in the "gradual" rollout.

The solution to this for me is seriously trying to figure out how to ditch my Streak and get a Samsung Galaxy Tab. Yeah yeah, don't let the door hit my arse on the way out...;)
[Streak 5 General] Volcanodancer:
Actually, me too. I tried Steve's 2.2 and got annoyed with the poor battery life which just didn't seem to improve with the version updates. Credit to the guy for bringing us 2.2 early, but at a price.

Now running 2.1 O2 official and managing to live with the bugs.

The only thing I really fancy about 2.2 is the Flash.
