I appreciated the post, but I thought it deserved a wider audience. A lot of us 4G owners want to upgrade. I would prefer OTA direct rather than manually.

and thats Friday October "7TH" for anyone thrown off by the title. theres no Friday Oct. 5th in 2011. we know what you meant, and Im hoping for this too for my Tmo s7 4G.

October 5th, Friday? What world is the rep from?

No word on 4G
I haven't heard of the 4G updated for Oct 7th but only for the Wifi. Speculation is that 4G isn't part of the update due to TMob not being able to support update. However we shall see.

That's still the most current news. No HC update for the US version of the TMobile 4G Dell Streak 7. It's important to remember this is T-Mobile's decision not Dell's.
Here's to hoping that wrong.

I jus got off the phone with tmobile and According to a tmobile rep he informed me that as long as dell sends them the update they dont see the issue in giving us 4g streak users the hc update. He also stated that dell is in control of sending out the update tmobile has no control over it so if last night i spoke to a dell rep and he stated that 4g should get the update on friday and tmobile said as soon as dell releases the update to them they will send it to all 4g streaks via ota i dont see why we wouldnt get it. (Fingers Crossed)

Yes, I updated the title. Sorry guys, bad typing on my streak keyboard.

I am ready for a proper HC update, even with some of the negative review from the other OTAs pushed out so far.
For me, the DS7 will have more longevity then my phone. It's. Already faux-G, and I use it for vastly different reasons than my DInc.
Keeping my fingers crossed. That I won't have to root before my warranty is up!!

Dell Confirms T-Mobile Streak 7 Not Getting Honeycomb

Unfortunately, Dell will not be offering the update for customers locked to T-Mobile in the U.S. With each software update, the requirements for offering the update vary by carrier, region and device, and Dell has decided to not offer this update to T-Mobile customers in the United States.

If that certain build requires rooting, it won't help.
On the phone with Dell Mobility as I type this. I'm not going to stand for this, and neither should any other tmobile streak owners. They will be sending me a wifi only, or refunding me my money. Will post an update when something is resolved. Be it good or bad.
Yea that's not gonna happen, as tmo stopped selling s7's long before dell made any announcements of HC.
You're just as likely to be able to get them to refund EVERY s7 because it's unlikely to recieve ICS when it comes out.
This is bull****!! We pay MORE for the 4G model, and now we get screwed by Dell, just because THEY decide that THEY don't want to offer it to us!!!
Dell never mentioned offering HC on any of the packages/information when it was available.
The only time it will is on the newest ones that come with it pre-installed.
Carrier devices ALWAYS recieve updates slower/last on virtually ALL android devices.

It sucks, but they never officially promised HC. We bought the device as a 2.2, and so we got what we were told we were getting. The Wi-Fi's were occasionally advertised as OTA HC coming, but the 4G never was.
I definitely would never buy or use anything from T-Mobile or Dell again, but other than being a poor customer retention experience, we got what we paid for.
Been waiting for 3.2 on the streak 7 so I could sell it, this sucks having the T-mobile version. Love my Asus Transformer better than this paperweight. I am pissed, calling T-mobile shortly.

Let us know how your call goes with T-Mobile. Other than being unhappy with getting exactly what we paid for, I don't see that they have to or will do anything.
Seeing as it is still warranteed, I want to see if Dell will swap it out with WiFi model and cancel T-Mobile data plan.

lazy b4sta4rds!, they could have kept the same 4g modem info and added to wi-fi version..even if T-mobile was uninterested in paying, they could have easily made a 4G HC update for this device. Must be all about the money..
Not to worried, Not like I would have even used the damn thing or even downloaded the update for that matter..
Just would have liked official 4G firmware for DJSteve HS ROM's. Im sure the Dj's next update will support 4G somehow, so Im not too concerned..
...last damn dell thing I buy in a long time.. thats for sure..
I would post on the dell community page too, but cant seem to register as their signup page is b0rked in my IE browser @ work on XP.
**** off dell and t mobile,
I bought the 4g for a service that more and now I find it less.
but how the hell you doing?
only deserve to lose customers, pieces of ****.
---------- Post added at 09:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 PM ----------
Now I just hope that DJ Steve do a custom for 4g ... I hope with active calls and text messages ...
I serve
So the next question is, how do I get my hands on one of djsteve's roms? I assume that is the best way to go?
Neither company really cares. Dell is getting out of the mobility business all together (they stated just today that there would be no more Windows Phone's from them) and T-Mobile will either be taken over by AT&T or go belly up according to their parent company.
Either way, in their eyes, there is no compelling business reason to offer HC on the 4G Streak 7.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that the T-Mobile ROM was quite different from the Wifi ROM. Probably not that different under the hood, but was branded, some tweaks etc..
So in that case, it's not as if Dell can push out updates to T-Mobile devices. T-Mobile would have to take the Dell HC update, do whatever it wants to, then make that available. It's the same with every branded carrier device, they don't want their customers de-branding it. If anyone is to blame here, it's T-Mobile.
This is why branding should be abstracted from the base. Not in the framework etc, but rather at a "theme" level. Custom installed apps, sure, whatever. But don't make deep changes.
Its all about the money, and , screw the end user.. They dont care about us or the device they created.. ugghh... Dell trys to be "people" oriented but this behavior disgusts me.

[Q] Downgrade to Stock Froyo

Hi. I Have a T-mobile 4g Dell Streak 7. I got it and within a day i had installed Dj_steve's StreakDroid. I liked it at first but when i started playing games they would force close. All my games force closed at one point or another. Not only games but other things too. I decided to try Dj_Steve's ICS which is much worse but I know its a work in progress and I appreciate his work.
Now im trying to go back to Stock froyo or whatever is the latest ROM from Dell. I need my games. How do i go back. I saw a thread on here but it was only for the WiFi version.

I do not own a T-Mobile 4g unit but the Roms found at the link thread are official Dell Roms.
I am not 100% sure but isn't the 4G US Rom the one you are looking for?
Did Dell sell an unbranded 4G DS7s in the US?
Unless you are attached to the T-Mobile bloatware, I think it might be safe if you used the 4G US HC Rom... but as usual... proceed at your own risk...

They started selling unbranded 4g's sometime last summer up till they stopped selling them.
They sold them though their website, I dont recall if it was even available in any physical store.
That's the main reason US-4g roms exist seperate of the tmo 4g ones
FC's are more often incompatibility between the OS and the app, rather than the ROM causing it.
I upgraded from stock 2.2.2 last Friday and have 506 on here now. Whole new device. A real tech bargain at $179 USD. Happy as can be.

If you can locate a 514 rom... I would highly recommend it. 506 gave me quite a bit of trouble... few FCs and clunky UI... 514 is WAY better... my 2 cents...

After looking at that link above I just realized one of the leaked pictures was actually from Malaysia.
Now I wonder if it'll be released in my country (Indonesia) as well. I may be hoping but I'm not hoping much at all. Indonesia is like one of the least "Google-cared" country. We get new devices so late it's not even new anymore.
Then again it might be our retail shops / carriers that just went full retard and think "Meh, who the hell buys Nexus in this country anyway? Why should we rush to get this phone in?"
Damn it
I might get one from Singapore if it was released there, though. Should there be any problems warranty is much easier to process (I fly back and forth every few months).
I asked singtel on their fb page. Their response:
Dear Jeremy, thank you for your interest. Do keep a look-out! Please be assured that we will keep you informed once we have an update. Thanks
"do keep a look out" sounds rather promising, but I'm only cautiously optimistic

It sounds like a rather generic response to me...
But I'm not gonna buy w contract though. Seems like I'm the only one amongst my friends w 12gb data cap.. And I'm not gonna give that away. Starhub 3g is fast enough
If its released in Malaysia then all the more better. Just a drive/ride across 2nd link or causeway

I am also in SG. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for a 12GB contract on LTE. Singapore telcoms just followed suit with the USA and went for the massive cash grab known as metered billing.
I think that it's wrong to go from 12GB to 2GB of data while keeping the price the same. The price per month should have been lowered according to the data offered.
You have to admit though we are still paying a lot less than people in the USA. (http://www.androidcentral.com/us-mobile-data-prices-among-most-expensive-world)
My plan:
120 (outgoing mins)
600 SMS
2GB data
$39SGD (31.40 USD) per month
I have a friend that lives in the UK. I will be getting him to order me a white 32GB so that I can take advantage of LTE.

i work for sprint, so i feel like eventually the warehouse will run out of mono-band and start using the tri-band s4 as replacements. ive known the S4's were switched to the tri-band since it was announced, i just wanted to let everyone know (who didnt already) that us existing S4's are getting screwed over!

The S5 is right around the corner you know. Wonder if that will have the spark bands?
More than likely yes. Here's hoping Sprint actually FINISHES the LTE rollout for all bands instead of doing the half-assed job they did with WiMAX.

we just got LTE in PHX and its really nice. We never got WIMAX here. So just be a little patient. :|
Just so you know, when they added the Triband to the S4, it broke simultaneous data and voice on LTE. So if you someone that needs that, don't get to excited about this new variant. Also, no wifi and simultaneous voice has been reported.

I think I have one, but I'm not sure.
When Sprint came out with 4.4.2.Kit Kat two days ago, everybody was posting that you needed MK2 software to get the download.
When I checked, my software is L720TVPUAMK5. My model shows as SPHL 720T, and on the box it's SPHL 720TWT.
When I asked about it, someone said I had a new Sparks.
I'm pretty much in the dark on all this.
Will I still get the Kit Kat download?
Does Austin, TX broadcast the new LTE?
Do I have something better? Or just a gimmick?
Is there anything important to know?

Accidental thanks. Anyways you will not get KitKat right now as this update is for the regular L720. There isndifferemt software for the T model. For example when we first noticed a MK5 software we regular phone people thought we would be able to use it but turns out we can't.
You will eventually get KitKat.
As far as Dallas having spark network, I don't know. I just know LA, San Fran, NYC, Chicago , and Miami were the first to start deployment.

Accidental thanks. Anyways you will not get KitKat right now as this update is for the regular L720. There isndifferemt software for the T model. For example when we first noticed a MK5 software we regular phone people thought we would be able to use it but turns out we can't.
You will eventually get KitKat.
As far as Dallas having spark network, I don't know. I just know LA, San Fran, NYC, Chicago , and Miami were the first to start deployment.

Thanks, you've helped me a lot. Some guys in another forum were pushing me to manually update to MK2, glad I didn't.
I can wait for Kit Kat, at least now I know why it isn't pushing to me.
I can also wait for the tri band rollout. I get 30 Meg download on my home network.
Thanks again.

Thanks, There's a lot of good info.
Until the network is really ready - and it will vary by market - be careful what you wish for with Spark. Its been alluded to already, but in many cases this can be a step backward.

So wait.... I just bought this thing two weeks ago from the sprint store, and my model number is the 720, not 720T. Did they seriously give me one of the old versions even though the new ones have been out since mid December?

Yes. Because the stores have the regular ones still. And only online at sprint.com were you able to get the T model.

T-Mobile 600MHz

A few months back I read an article saying the note 8 would likely be the first phone to support T-Mobile's new 600MHz spectrum. I can't find any information on this now. Anyone know if it will in fact support this new spectrum?

They said they would be released 4th quarter that's October so I don't think so. Also t mobile would be tweeting it like crazy I would think
No, I asked on John lagers twitter page and got a reply of no.
Would be great someday...speed thrill's!
I had hope. I guess I'm stuck with Verizon for a bit. I wanted to switch to TMO, but they won't have good coverage where I live until we get the final 600MHz rollout.
wow that kind of sucks,I believe they said 2 phones would support it-maybe the new iPhones or the V30

Back in July, the T-Mobile CTO tweeted saying that LG and Samsung would have phone supporting the network by the end of the year,so it's odd that it isn't.
Just read article on BGR said nope
