I tried contacting Dell last week for an answer with no luck, however they sent a follow-up email from the mobilty support team and so i replied with the question of when the Dell Streak 7 will get the honeycomb update as promised.
Here is their reply:
Hi Dave ,
Dell has allready started sending notificaton's for the Honeycomb update...you will also receive it Shortly
Or Else you can manually try
Go to Setting > About Phone > select System update ... and follow the instruction's
Thanks
Ronaque
I tried a manual update on mine. No go as of yet. Give it a try and reply if successful.

Non-carrier branded Dell Streak 7, I assume that means not wifi?
Not a carrier branded DS7, i would think means wifi version only.
according to dell, any non carrier branded dell streak 7 tablets should have the ota available now. So apparently thats the wifi only version? anyone have a wifi only version that can check for us?
Also, please get us a logcat of checking for the update and downloading it if it is available, so we can get the download link.
Mine is the wifi only version and it's not here yet. I will post as soon as i receive it.
Streak 7 HoneyComb
Hey
Yeah, I have a WIFI only version and as of 8:40 Central time I do not have the update yet. However, I called Dell and they said I'd be getting it within 24 hours. As soon as I get done posting I'm going to call again!
awesome! wifi only or not, its going to have everything we need to get a fully functioning honeycomb rom running! I bet DJ_Steve would love to get his hands on it......

I hope when it becomes available someone makes an NVFlash rip, so I can flash over. I can't NVFlash back to stock, but it would be nice to have Honeycomb that was meant for us. Honeystreak is incredible, but the fact that it's ported from a 10" kinda still shows through.
EDIT: Would this also explain the recall rumors? Maybe pull it from shelves so they can start shipping with HC pre-installed, while the rest of us get an OTA update?
I just got a runtime db error on their webpage when it was trying to pull the service number checking for the update instead of the no new updates message I was seeing earlier. Wondering if they are getting slammed with people checking or are switching over...
I just checked with my wifi only DS7 and instead of the normal "No updates available" I got this message;
Server Error in '/' Application. Runtime Error Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom errorsettings forthis application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.

Well...Dell employees are saying it's coming out, and the update page has changed...sounds like it's finally happening *excited*
Unfortunately, I'll still hve to wait untill a member uploads, since I can't return to 2.2, but it's nice to know it will finally be released

I have a weird issue and I'm not sure what's going on.
A few days ago I noticed that the market layout got changed a little bit. The three tabs on top changed to Apps|Games|T-mobile. Going to the t-mobile tab shows recommendations from t-mobile. The next day I noticed that it was gone and back to the original Apps|Games|Downloads, and the weird part is that now the market icon is back to the 1.6 one (I've had the android 2.0 icon for a while since I'm running cyanogen).
Oh and I checked with aTrackdog and it says I have Market v1.66 and there's a v1.71 available. Any idea what's going on?
I have a G1 on t-mobile and running CM v4.2.9.1
edit: I feel like this is an app issue and not an issue with the ROM, hence the posting in the apps section. Also, it happened randomly and not immediately after I updated to the newest CM release or something.
Things just get jittery when running apps2sd which you probably are.
I didn't know rooted phones were suppose to get that Update.
So idk you really shouldn't be getting OTA updates like that ESPESH from Tmobile.
So there was actually an update for the market for non-rooted G1 users on t-mo? When did that roll out?

Yea, it's been rolling out/bloggers/sites have been asking if anyone has gotten and it's seemed like it was rolling out, then got pulled back and delayed a lot.
But all the Update does it replace Mydownloads with Tmobiles lame apps.
But the main part about this is it allows you to buy applications and place the cost on your tmobile bill so you don't nessicarily need a credit card which is really cool.
But I'm pretty sure Cyan already twatted it's not likely to get ported to rooted phones or something like that which is understandable since it deals with Tmobile's billing info.
Oh okay thanks for the clarification. It's weird that the update got rolled out to me. I guess it didn't go through the regular OTA update 'channels' or something. I follow a few android blogs and didn't see any mention of it. Anyway I don't really care about adding the cost to my bill, both options are the same to me. As for the tab, yeah the t-mo tab is pretty stupid, I don't care about their recommendations, plus it means it's an extra click to get to my downloads.
So I guess in theory if I reflash the ROM I should at least get the android 2.0 market icon back? I'm gonna wait til tomorrow and try it (since I guess Cyanogen is releasing an update tomorrow)

The change has NOTHING to do with having a rooted phone. In fact, it has nothing to do with the application itself. It is all on the server end.
There are a few bugs that they need to work out before deploying it to the masses. I have been running Cyan's newest ROM since it was released and my tabs have changed from Download to Tmobile and back. Why? Because it's coming from Google's server as such.

Did your icon also revert to the 1.6 one? Anyway I guess that's good news. Means that future changes like this will also roll out to rooted phones.
I really don't think a T Mobile Recomonded tab in the Android market is coming from the Google Server I think it's Tmobile controlling it's phones like when they took the Tether app off the US market and how the Droids market is different than others.
Flashed the newest CM today and it didn't fix the market icon, still have the 1.6 one. It's not a big issue but I just find it weird that the icon got reverted back (if it's just server side changes the icon shouldn't be affected).
I noticed the same thing. I had the default Market, a few days later I noticed it had a T-Mobile button then all of the sudden it appears to be back to the default.
I just simply gave up and said whatever anymore.
verizon already has the new market with VERIZON were our downloads are.
I also have the updated market in a nandroid from cyans rom.
Anyone receive the text notification of a new software update?

2.2 Update....
Just bought a Captivate on Sunday (Nov. 7th) and would love to update to 2.2. Reason being is I've read it will support a wifi hot spot, anybody else know anything else about this ?? OR possibly how to reinstall the stripped (by AT&T) ability to tether ??... I know PDAnet will allow you to do this and it seems to work so far, I just would like to keep my UNLIMITED TETHER data plan while I still have the option, in 27 days, I'm going to have to say goodbye for ever or go to another phone.
On a side note.. do any of you think AT&T is trying to eliminite everybody that had UNLIMITED data plans ???.....

If that's the rumor, then it's not a good one. Did you notice that the image had "NOVEMBER, 2011" on it?
There's a thread in the general section.
I succesfully downloaded and installed the update today, after recieving the second text. What it did was add a update to my 2.1 and update me to JH7. In the process it gave me the 3 button fix. Many are hoping it's the precurser to 2.2 but I guess time will tell.
I recieved the txt message last night it done the same thing as trying to manually update it. It downloads the file, then reboots into its update screen but never goes through with the actual update it just sits there with preparing then reboots and tells me no updates were applied
If you have this number "above" in your oem version post a little something, if you got it from dell or other than dell.
I'm determined to figure out why this oem number isn't receiving the update.
Also say rather your service tag directs you too the streak 5 download's or not.
Thanks
No update for me yet...
I have this number GLUNB1A133830 I got it at Staples.
Service tag comes up as streak 7 at dell:
1 XT0R4 ASSEMBLY..., BASE (ASSEMBLY OR GROUP)..., TABLET..., WI-FI, 16G, STRK7
I am stock same as day I took it out of the box. Not even rooted.

I have that number . won it in a contest so not sure where it came from.
Same here (Staples). Still waiting. Not sure if i want the update after reading some of the 'impressions'.
wow i thought i was the only one. also got it from staples. mine went into read only mode. sending it to dell. did urs go into read only mode also?
I just tested and I do not have a read only issue.
No read only here either, & still no update.
I have that OEM number as well, I install honeycomb using the link from another thread and its working fine. I didn't event have to do a factory reset, almost everything worked fine.
Go for it

Any particular reason why all of you are waiting for the update? I too had the same build as all of you and I bought my directly from Dell in July.
I proceeded to go to the link below (yes I've read many of the threads here) and it provided the download page. Once I did the download, up in the notification bar, you drag it down to show it's progress when it is done. Once it is done, all you have to do is tap on it and it will advise you that there is an update and do you want to install it. Once you click "Proceed or Yes or Update"...don't recall the exact wording, it will then compare your system to the update and once it finds that it's compatible, it will then install.
Two things when doing an update...
1) The battery should be FULLY charged
2) Don't reboot the device during an update.
The system will reboot itself and the install takes about 5 - 10 minutes to complete. It will take that long to download as well depending on your internet speed.
I've had my update since Thursday and there has been no issues with it. It survived an entire day (7am - 10pm) without needing a charge as I gave it to my daughter Thursday night as a gift for her schooling as she has books she needs to read that are in ebook format.
I know I'm not the only one who has done the update with the same build and I haven't seen any of us with any issues. Remember that Dell sending out the updates in phases so not everyone is going to get notified at the same time because their servers will not be able to handle that volume of traffic.
http://mobileupdate.dell.com/?version=GLUNB1A334430
Same, but I don't care, I'm not updating until there's a custom kernel with tun.ko and some of the bugs are tweaked. Unfortunately I have to read Yet Another Forum to keep up on that development....
I guess its more of why isn't it auto updating or showing the page saying no updates? Curios if that will be corrected & eventually we will get prompted to update. I know i can go with the other link, but then i wouldn't ever know the answer to the above.
I just got off the phone with Dell mobile support, I told the tech that I wasn't seeing an update to 3.2 when doing a check from settings and asked if there was an update available for my service tag no. The tech gave me a link that was the same link listed in the second post of
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1291257
which is
http://mobileupdate.dell.com/?version=GLUNB1A334430
So according to the Dell mobile support tech the update package is the same
for GLUNB1A133830 and GLUNB1A334430 which is why I called.
Did you ask why it might be acting like it is?
Ok i went for it since the dell guy said to do it, man i'm glad i did, this is exactly what i wanted... I might actually get the dock now.
I also have a Streak 7 from Staples with the same version number. I performed the upgrade with no apparent issue. At this time, I have discovered two issues. First, Netflix doesn't work. I can log in and see what it offers, but it fails when I attempt to stream. And second, when I connect to the dock, it does not recognize that it is docked. It charges, but doesn't acknowledge that it is in the dock. I have not tested if it will direct video out to the HDMI port or not, since I can't get Netflix to work.
Netflix won't stream video with most HC platforms, there are only a couple that do work. Netflix needs to get serious about correcting the issue it has been dragging alone for months now, and since it worked correctly under 2.2 it isn't hardware. but somthing between HC and the Netflix app which was solved for a couple platforms.
On a plus side my DS7 will now pair with my BT keyboard which makes text a whole lot easier to work with.
Have you tried this patch? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178773
Grab the file and put the file in /system replacing the existing file.

Out of curiosity, which methods and what were the results? Do you even get the page that says there is an update but the package won't install after it finishes downloading?
Method I used:
Charge battery to above 60% (well above)
Using the stock browser go to
http://mobileupdate.dell.com/?version=GLUNB1A334430
click on the download and install button
When the download is complete click on the notification that the "download completed" That will start the install process.
When complete I found that most of my downloaded apps were still installed BUT many had problems. So if that is what you find go to setting Privacy and do a factory data reset you will then have to go to Market, Amazon,... and reinstall your applications. Good luck

There's an issue with the update. It was failing halfway through for me, so I called AT&T. Of course, the person I spoke to is a bumbling idiot, so they directed me towards HTC. HTC confirmed the issue to me and said they are working on a fix as well as there being no timetable for the fix. Is anyone else having an issue updating OTA? Mine is downloading fine and my phone turns of and goes to a screen with progress bar. About a quarter of a way through the progress, I get an error icon.

My update went off without a hitch. I am experiencing one side affect though... Seems that the phone no longer sees the AT&T Microcell.
I did noticed the under Base Band the radio did change, so I wonder if this is the root cause.
Is anyone else that has the MicroCell having this issue?

I suspect it was failing halfway through for you because you either froze or deleted some of the bloatware that came with the phone. The installer checks for those, and if it doesn't find them, the update will abort.
My phone was completely stock and unrooted and the update was installed and running in less than 10 minutes.
I don't think there is anything wrong with the update, though, as long as you haven't monkeyed around with your phone.
Not the greatest screen shots... will try to upload better shots if anyone is intrested.

One of the users hopefully before doing the update will copy the ota off device to computer and upload somewhere for the cooks to start with higher build 3.26.502.56710RD

That's been my experience, but I stopped using the HTC browser. Download Chrome Beta, then go into app associations in the setting menu and make it the default app for URLs/links.
The issue doesn't happen with Chrome...and Chrome is a much better browser anyway IMO.

That's everyone's answer but there should be a fix for the default browser for people that like to use the HTC bookmark widget.
Tonight i will be looking into the issue and will post a fix here for the stock browser if i find one!
Since Thursday morning I have been having issues with my Droid Bionic after Verizon did the OTA update to Android 4.0.4 System version 6.7.246.
The initial problem was that after the OTA installed my phone was bricked. After many attempts to bring it back and my bosses being rather unhappy that I no longer had a phone I went through the warranty/insurance and they sent me a new phone the next day. Now I of course need to root it. I have tried all the Razor's Edge based roots I could find on both a 32 and 64 bit Win 7 system with the latest drivers as found on the Motorola website. The Razor's Edge systems (ADB.exe specifically) don't seem to find my device so they don't move forward (Figured that out by copying out the individual commands from the Batch file to see where it stops). I just tried downloading and using the Motofail on these forums and after downloading it says that it won't run on my system.
Has anyone else been having these kind of issues when you updated OTA or have been trying to root? I do know when I talked to Verizon the rep had said she had already covered two calls about odd behavior after the update. I find it very funny though that I haven't had such issues when I upgraded my Nook Color to ICS.

I find it very funny though that I haven't had such issues when I upgraded my Nook Color to ICS.

Have you tried this http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/4730-samurihls-house-of-bionic-faq/. It should work.

Ok I just want to make sure I am on the right page. The House of Bionic method will push out an update to 246 which already includes root access? Rereading my previous post I realize I may not have made it clear that with the replacement phone the OTA update did work so I am on 246.
I could not get Razor's Edge to work on my new laptop(W7 64bit) but Motofail worked perfectly. Have you tried it?

Not yet. I know I had issues downloading it and when I tried to run it I was informed that it wouldn't run on my computer but that was only on the 32 bit computer so I have yet to head back home and try on a 64bit. Also I am not 100% sure of a good download location, I seem to remember hitting a lot of incorrect ones including one from the developer that said it was a defunct method.
As I said for this rooting my luck has been a whole lot of bad.
I downloaded from the Motofail thread.

Here is the link to the download

This worked great for me. Had to update the moto drivers first then downloaded and ran the motofail-ics. I have been searching the forums here and other areas. Never realized how much I was spoiled with root until the ics ota took it from me! =( lol. Thank you all for the postings, comments, and feed back. It help to make re-rooting loads easier for me!¡!¡ :thumbup:

Bionic after updates goes back to previous owners account
Hello, not sure if I'm posting in the correct place but I need some help. I purchased my bionic on ebay about a year ago. My service is through pageplus. After receiving updates the phone reverts back to the previous owners info and will not work for me. I then have to have it flashed, which has been done 4 times now. Last night was the most recent. Everything is working for me fine but when I look at about phone and status its still showing the previous owners phone no. and min. but when dial the program codes it shows my no and min. Can I fix this and how can I get it to stop reverting back..

I am so sorry to read that this is happening. I am not 100% sure but it sounds to me like the phone was never de-registered after it was activated with your current service. I would think that doing a system restore back to stock and then going through the motions of re-registering the phone to your account and service provider may work. The only other thing I am able to think of is that it may have been rooted to the original owner and they never un-rooted it and de-registered prior to selling it.
Hope this gives a better idea or maybe some one else whom knows more then I will respond.
Gl,
Cheers ....
