Ok so the OTA 2.2 should be around the month.
I was just wondering is there an android app or program for the pc to back up the current state of my phone such as all apps and preferences so i dont have to start from scratch after the update?

When I tried to update to the unofficial 2.2 (and failed ) titanium backup did the trick. Reloaded all apps with settings, just had to rebuild my screen layouts. Problem is most of the backup programs require root. Accordin to streaksmart.com the "dell insider" was not able to root the official build. Not to say the smart people on these forums wont have that figured out in no time after its released: )

Dell have said that they will tell you how to back up all your data before applying the update so maybe they have a program they are sending with the update
Theres a free dell backup app on the market now specifically for the streak so problem solved

Has anyone else found that some of the apps were/are not accessible from the market.
Pre 2.1 it was pandora, after 2.1 its myplayer amongst others.
I'm guessing dell haas blocked these some how?
Any one got any info on it?

Also noticed a paid app called national rail is missing from my download list and the market.

Found it out.....
Apparently the new rom needs to be registered with google for it to have full access. Well at least that what the htc replied in a forum reply in the link below. Sounds like a way that the providers can limit or access to bandwidth hungry apps

Since updating to 2.1 i can only view piccltures i took before the update in the gallery. My latest pictures only show through by going through the new camera app in 2.1.
Any ideas

i have the same issue. proper p**sing me off. no idea how to sort it
Have you cleared your Dalvik-cache since updating? Give that a try if you haven't already.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Just checked, and i'm seeing picture from after! But then then i'm still using the beta, and won't be installing the official anytime soon. Only extant issue is GPS acqusition appears slow (but then I only ever really check when i'm indoors )
8023 had very slow gps. The previous version (i forget the build number but I think it began with 7) was better. 8105 is better for gps but not as good a the 7xxx build.
I guess its a power saving change

How do i go about this
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Its just on the market, search for it... Froyo is very near I think!
If it isn't working the first time ( invalid backup), reboot your phone... Try it again and it will work.

Made by/distributed by Nero? ah well who cares
Nero? We probably can connect external USB-Burner to the Streak and burn our data on DVD *lol*

got my streak a week ago, found dell backup in market a few days ago
+2 for froyo release.. I would bet it will be release on the 11th.
thanks - this saved me a heap of time
Where does this program save the backup file to? I don't see it on my SD card
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Its under com.nero.android.dellsync on your sdcard

Nice find, worked great.
Keeps hanging on backing up applications, or when the screen turns off. Running official o2 2.1
Scratch that, rebooted my streak then tried again, works fine.

I'm confused. Two questions.
1. What makes this program a good sign for Froyo's release?
2. What is different about this from the PC suite that I use with 1.6 and came standard with the Streak for backing up the program?

1) it was on Tweeter and on Facebook (dell uk) stating that prior to receiving Froyo, backup using this app.
2) no difference, backs up the same stuff but the difference lies in the fact that this way, you don't need a pc to restore your settings.
What is Titanium Backup good for?

EXTREMELY powerful tool. Backup ALL apps, Market links, remove bloatware & MORE!

No problems here, maybe try uninstalling TB and reinstalling then trying the pro key again. Silly question, you are rooted right?
Yup, rooted to the foolest! And, yup, I tried the uninstalling and reinstalling thing and still... no glory! Guess i'll play around with it till it kicks in. I just don't understand it. Thanks anyway
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Visit the Titanium Backup official site and in particular the wiki.
The feature I use most on TB is the freeze feature. It is also useful to backup settings for programs, like K9 mail, that do not have a backup feature built in.
Useful info. Marv... Thanks.

Hi. I'm new to the forums, but just figured this out - so be gentle.
This basically tricks apps into thinking your phone is a Nexus One
Download and install the netflix.apk (not sure if I'm allowed to post - I'm sure you can find it.)
1. Copy /system/build.prop to a local directory and change the following settings:
ro.product.name=libra_passion
ro.product.device=passion
ro.product.board=mahimahi
ro.build.fingerprint=google/passion/passion:2.3.4/GRJ22/121341:user/release-keys
2. replace /system/build.prop with the edited build.prop
adb remount
adb push yournewbuild.prop /system/build.prop
3. Reboot
4. Enjoy
How to I get to step one? Sorry I am a noob to this. Please help! Or could you post the modded apk?
Any side effects of changing those settings?
Here are some better instructions.

I am having that same problem exactly. I wonder it is because of the stock ROM?
I used this method and it worked great.

Same play for 2 seconds and then goes to the main menu screen. Both on 3G and Wifi.
I might get a membership for this, but I don't have an unlimited data plan and don't want to think of the charges I'd ring up. If I'm at home with my wifi I'd just use a TV.
Unless there's a way around that?
I just installed the Netflix apk file and it worked like a charm. I didn't edit anything. Also as for data usage refer to this http://blog.netflix.com/2011/03/netflix-lowers-data-usage-by-23-for.html. it mostly depends on your settings but it can, in turn, consume quite a bit of data.

Is there a way to download the entire movie at home and watch it later while out and about?
Anybody figure out a way to get this to work on 351? I get an error when trying to save the build.prop and then it just reverts back to what it was... thanks in advance

You opened it with read only privilege. You need to open it with a program that has root access.
You did make a backup copy first, right?
I used es file explore and I clicked the boxes to grant root access. It says error and just reverts back to what it was
