I just had a notification on my streak 7 that a dell software update was available. Though when I opened it up it said the same no updates...
Same here, message comes up every time you reboot it... just started today.
Me too Wonder what's up.
Whatever it is, it won't be anything major. Honeycomb won't come until at least July according to Dell's "roadmap".
i think we can all agree that even if it is only a release to increase stability, it will be welcomed gratefully.

I am so happy to see this post here as I was suspecting my system giving me more **** by flagging false update notice EVERYTIME i reboot the phone...
I just uninstalled the bloatware AccuWeather last night, so I thought it was because of that...
anyways,
whatever updates from dell should be welcomed, I guess.
I dont get this message?

What ever was causing it seems to be gone now- I don't get the message when I reboot now.

Yes, I have Steve's updates and I got the notification. It seems to have stopped now.
maybe dell was doing a mass 'testing' of the devices on the field and an update is in the near future? :-s

For those of you who don't know there is another version of this device call the streak or dell mini 5 witch is a 5inch tablet but it makes normal calls like a normal phone so its a tablet phone now dell pushed this new streak 7 as the same as the streak 5 just a better CPU and 7inch not 5 now how can you say its the same when the one thing that would make it the same is not there a phone???

Streak7 as a phone?
I didn't get the impression it could be used as a phone, either. I know someone hacked the US version(s) of the Galaxy Tab on T-Mobile to get it to work as a phone but not sure if the Streak7 can be made that way.
I, too, would love to use this as a phone since I always use a headset (wired and/or Bluetooth). If it wasn't for the battery life of the Streak7, I'd really want to use it as a phone.
Why would you want to use this to make phone calls? this thing is huge and so is the tab, I would do it just for the sake of doing it but i can imagine having this to my ear for longer than 5 minutes

I dunno of anyone saw this yesterday or not by DJ_Steve. It seems our awesome and only streak Dev has gotten hardware acceleration in HC to work on the notion ink tab!
You guys are wondering how this is relevant to us streak7 users right?
Well in the details it says the rom he made for the notion ink tab as been ported to the streak7!!!!
I don't see a link for it from the site link on the video upload, but if anyone knows about it or happens to have the rom, I'm sure we would all love to test it out!

we all know already he post to his twitter if he doesnt post here and this is not development so you would need to have a mod move to general the development is mainly used for releases
Yes. Need to port the s7 kernel too 2.6.36. And possible have the touch driver modified. Ask around only thing holding it back atm

from what i read no hardware acceleration issues any more
I stand corrected sir. I miss read

Sorry for the error in where I posted this. I don't use twitter anymore so this was new to me until yesterday since I follow his YouTube channel.
Ill get this moved into the general forum. Since the development area is used for rom releases anyway? where is it?
Hellzya hate to act like a forum noob but could u help me out in the link for HC port? I know you are Dj_Steve's tester for his releases so Id like to try it out.

Honeycomb's going to be awesome, but let's not kid ourselves into believing this thing is a slouch with FroYo and DJ_Steve's ROM. If you have another, HC tablet, though, I could see your point.
This is my only tablet. For the price and specs, it couldn't be beaten regardless of what rom it's using. And it's definitely going to be something else when a ported version of hc comes out. I'm sure that's something we can all agree on (at least after it becomes stable lol)

I'm sure HC is going to be great, but I have no problems with Froyo; it does everything I need from a tablet. The battery remains as the biggest issue for me.

I honestly have not used this tablet enough to actually complain about it's battery life but that will come soon since I plan on using this a lot more this summer so I guess add me to the general consensus.

I don't think the ds7 will have HC, no enough devs to make it happen.

I live in queens and go to school in midtown(Baruch) I could do it for ya. But I'd have to charge ya something(you actually would be my first client of the IT consulting company I started today)
You don't have to fiddle with Fastboot if you didn't apply to 2.2.2 update, FYI. You can simply use SuperOneClick, and then flash CWM and DJ_Steve's StreakDroid7 ROM.
So how much am I looking @?
You still have to have a pc to do SOC. My only pc is a laptop that runs vista and SOC wont run on it for me.

I used Vista to get CWM, then rooted rom. Just use drivers pre-loaded on
The sdcard.
When I try to use my laptop it says I need some Java JDK stuff and I have downloaded all the java JDK files I could and it still won't work. I was also told that SOC does not work on Vista so I gave up.

Not much man,, whatever you think is fair is cool with me. I can do it for you in just 5 minutes. I would do it for free but I'm trying to get my business off the ground and I have to start having that business mentality
SOC will only work if the DS7 isn't updated to 2.2.2, if it is flashing CWM recovery and a rooted Rom is the only option you have at the moment. I'm in DFW now, otherwise i'd say meet up at Austin Java Co or something ;b
I work at Georgetown airport mon thru fri, I am totally down for meeting anytime you want. Drop me a pm.

If you wanna put it in the mail ill do it for you. With a return label. But might I suggest holding out for a few weeks. Things may change with cwr.

I'm in no hurry. So what could change with cwr that would help you root without fastboot?
Sent from my Dell Streak 7 using XDA App
no it would still be fastbooted but we may have to rewrite cwr not sure yet though. stay tuned. but im serious if you want too send it to me with a return label ill be more then happy too do it for you.
I may take you up on that. Pm me your address and I may ship it out to you next week.

StreakDroid7 and HoneyStreak are both great roms, but not perfect.
StreakDroid is a 2.2.2 ROM, and in my opinion, just an improvement on the stock ROM. HoneyStreak is based on 3.1, which was designed for 10 inch tablets, not 7.
I was wondering if any of the developers here have plans to relase a 2.3, 2.4, or 3.2 ROM, and I would rather run something like that rather than another 2.2 or a 3.1 that was never intended for a 7 inch device.
With the first 3.2 tablet coming soon, I expect a 3.2 ROM to be made by Dell or some XDA members to be coming within the next few months, but it would be nice to know if there are already plans for it.
3.2 is planned once i have a syatem dump of a 3.2 device
Sent from my Atrix using Tapatalk
Hopefully you can get that soon. Loving the latest version of Streakdroid HD7 tho. 3.2 should be even better!
DJ_Steve, if you can get 3.2 working, I would worship you. HoneyStreak is great, but the display errors are annoying. Getting a 7 inch version of honeycomb would be incredible.
EDIT: I shouldn't really say errors, as the rom runs fine, more like display "issues."
Yea i agree. So if anyone can get a dump off the new huawei tab or has contacts possibly able to do so get on to them

Since streak 7 heave the same screen resolution as streak 5, is possible to port 3.2 to streak 5?
Please, correct me if im wrong.
Since the Streak 5 has the same resolution, and the same LCD density (160) if there is a port, I doubt the screen would cause any problems.

Does it delete all installed programs, or just downloads? If it is everything, then it is most likely the mysterious read only problem.

i have called them but i have bought this from a previous owner.
they said i had to be the original owner for return :[
Contact the prior owner and ask if either they can call them or you can "be" them to get it corrected. How is Dell to know who exactly they are speaking to.
