No it doesn't, another reason why i won't bother.
Everything that should have been improved is worse, and vice versa.
They should of called this version 'upside down cake' not froyo

I just upgraded to the streak from a htc hero, which was running froyo quite comfortably. Tbh, I had expected better from the streak.

The Streak was great with 1.6
2.1 UI totally screwed it up, so installed launcherpro
2.2 looks a total nightmare. I know a can instal launcherpro again or maybe even ADW Gingerbread. But i don't see the point of any of that.
Headphone volume is lower, and i already turn it up to 9 out of 10 for any decent volume, tried both mp3 and m4a.
Wifi signal is lower, already on a range extender at home.
Shorter battery life.
Locked to o2 again.
I don't get why everybody is jumping up a down, when the everyday things that people use everyday are worse.

Just got an X10, i've been using Legend for some days now (im in the business, as you might imagine)
The first thing that struck me: the keyboard... It doesn't register all key presses, compared to the Legend, it's really frustrating to writing on X10.
I've been happy with the speed on Legend, and thought that X10 would be even more blazing fast. But it isn't. Actually, its slower (!) I tried install Raging Thunder II on both phones, and it's running more smooth on the Legend.
X10 have way better hardware, but an older OS. Don't know how much this has to do with the fact that X10 seems slower than the Legend.
Would be interesting if the Desire ROM could be installed on X10
For now, I feel that HTC has done a way better job, customizing Android on a phone, and i'm gonna stick to Legend as my primary phone. But gonna use X10 for some weeks with twin simcard. Just want to test it properly
Try SmartKeyboardPro on X10. Must better that Standart Keyboard.
Try Asphalt 5 on X10 to see whats a good game
What compilation do you have? IE, your firmware.
Where did you get the X10? are you in the UK?

Yes. I think there's a free version named SmartKeyboard (without pro). If not try to change from standart keyboard to Android Keyboard.
X10 keyboard has a good layout but doesnt register some key. I had the same problem you have.
Can you tell me your firmware version, pls? Just to compare

Yeah
The screen is really nice. big and high res.
I don't mean, and try to be negative about X10. Guess I really was a bit surprised that i found Legend (low cost Android compared to X10) to be a better phone.. for now.. It might just be that Android 2.1 runs way better. I don't know.. But ok. i'll be fair. Going to update this post in a few days, gonna use them both for a few weeks
did you purchase it from an online store or did you get it from a business or something?
My delayed X10 arrives tommorow...
Ive also used the Legend since it came, and love it!!!
However, its the X10 I was looking forward too....
So, Ill give it the easter vacation to make a decition on what phone to keep...
Probabely both....
it comes with android 2.0 right? or is it 1.6?
it comes with 1,6. an 2.x update will come later this year(hopefully this year)

thats what I thought, but I ordered mine and they told me that its coming with 2.0. Everyone says it ships with 1.6, but he insisted that mine will ship with 2.0. I guess I'll have to wait and see. Arxx can you double check and see what yours is
anyone tried download dolphin browser from the market and multi touch working on dolphin browser
Yes, please. I really wish someone already has a X10 in hand, please test if multi-touch zooming works in Dolphin browser. I ordered mine, and mine is shipping on its way. I'm so worried about the negative multi-touch news came out today.

Multi-touch zoom will not work in Dolphin, or any other software. SE have confirmed that the X10 lacks any kind of hardware multi-touch support. No hardware, means no support. Period.

Just tested, and now i can confirm that under Dolphin browser, there is no multi / dual touch . Hope with Android 2.x there will be at least dual touch...

it will be 1.6 100% ! The 2.x update will be in Q3...
Now I've been sitting with my X10 for a couples of hours...
..and Im not really impressed. I do not like the keyboard, the device feels slow, timescape I know I will never use... Touchscreen feels to plastic-like..
The legend feels 10 times as good...
And dont get me started on exchange integration.. That part is just a joke...
It works kind of... But its just a mess....
And I who really was looking forward to this phone :/
just as title says . hate 2.2 anyway to get back to pre 2.2
Seriously? What do you hate about it? The new Stage UI? Are you running a DJ Steve ROM or an un"official" Dell ROM, if you are running a Dell ROM get to the 318 and load the perf zip optimization.
If you hate the new Stage interface you should check out LauncherPro or ADW.Launcher.
To go backwards to 1.6 is really doing the Streak and yourself a disservice.

Exactly. If you go back to 1.6, you will lose flash player capabilities, multitouch, etc.

I'm thinking of going back to 2.1 purely for the notification bar. I always turn flash off so that wouldn't bother be at all. The only think keeping me on 2.2 is that the UI is slightly faster and the browser is much faster.
I was tinkling about going back to 2.1 because my phone is currently locked to o2. But I quite like 2.2, so I'm sticking to it. I'm waiting for o2 to send me the unlock code and is using it as a tablet atm. I hate it when I can't use it as a phone though

ADS Launcher EX is actually really really good. Can be bought from the market
Traded my iPhone 4 for a Streak and it came with 2.2 What steps do I have to take to go to StreakDroid FroYo v1.5.1? Thanks.
This is your first Android phone, right? It was mine too. If you're already at 2.2, play with the apps there for a couple of days while you figure out how to upgrade. That way you will have a list of apps that you want to have on your final firmware.
There's very good threads about how to upgrade. You may brick your phone (or at least think you did) but keep working on it. I've found solutions for everything I needed already discussed on the board.

IMO, the 2.2 stock is better with the performance tweaks. I havent had any problems since being on 318

Nope. I was on the HTC G1 for quite a bit and then moved on to HTC Legend and then the iPhone 4. I do know my way around Andriod quite a bit actually. Just havent been up to date. Most of the guides I saw are for 1.6 to custom rom. I dont know what I must be doing since I am already on 2.2 stock.

Any other recommendations? I wanna make this fast and smooth Maybe ill try setcpu.
Your phone showing up with stock 2.2 is pretty sweet. I had to dump 318 since I think DJ_Steve's 1.5.1 is better, but there's still some things like the camera that are weak.

I'm in Singapore and the phone was just released about a week or 2 ago
I still cant get the front cam to work though. In the Camera app, I can only see the tab to change to Video mode. No switch for the front cam.
Mines also came with stock 2.2 build and unlocked for T-Mobile. I just flashed djsteves froyo build and IMHO, it runs a lot smoother and faster than stock build

My streak died on me... I couldnt get signal and and i saw that the Airplane mode was enabled. So I tried to disable it but it wouldnt. So rebooted and tried again. Same problem. Decided to do a factory reset.
And then it got stuck with the Dell logo. So I am trying to flash DJ_Steve's rom over now. Hope it boots.
Hello everyone,
I have been using an HD2 for some time with android. The phone was working great but i wanted to buy an android phone as i was spending a lot of time on it downloading different builds. After looking around i decided to go for the Dell Streak. I loved the big screen and how different it is for all the other phones around.
I live in the UK so bought it from o2. The phone came with android 1.6 with an optional upgrade to 2.2. As soon as i started, i downloaded the update but with great sadness i realised that on the 2.2 the phone looses the task bar on the top with the standard android and also the biggest let one down is the big screen is not anything special now. I did not like that you could see the different screen on the sides of your home screen.
Having searched i have managed to downgrade to 2.1 and the phone looks the way i want it again. Unfortunately there seem to be lots of bugs with this version of the streak so i am wondering if there is a way i can have 2.2 running looking like the 2.1 version or a fix for the 2.1.
Thanks in advance for any advice
neither can be done, froyo changed the frameworks too much to make porting the (frankly crap) status bar over, im actually happy dell saw sense and removed it as i dispised the 1.6/2.1 status bar with a passion
Thanks!
Not the reply i was hoping for but at least i know that it cant be done.
If i upgrade to 2.2 is there a way of streaching the screen in order to avoid overlappping?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
yes there is. You have to use a different home screen launcher. The two popular ones are adw.launcher and launcher pro. Both are highly customizable and will do what you want.
I currently use adw.launcher and love it.

Wicked i shall download it and have a play around with it.

I really miss the 1.6 task bar as well. Since getting froyo I have moved to launcher pro for my default launcher. Much better that stage.

StreakDroid 1.6.0 because it is stable.
I haven't found a compelling reason to upgrade or perfmod. Gameloft games work with 1.6.0. I was stuck on 1.4.6 until 1.6.0 and do miss the "rear door check" being disabled. Many tweaks can be done without flashing.

anyone else have the "this file is audio only" in stock Movies Player?
anyone know how to fix it? Thanks!

1.7. It has been the best of Steve's bunch for me. No issues at all.
so far a lot of you are on the official ROMS, impressive if you ask me. im on 1.6.1 as it seemed more stable to me, i couldnt change my keyboards on 1.7, or change the brightness like i used to, so i downgraded.

I stayed on 1.6.1 because its stable. 1.7 doesnt support FFC for Fring and I use it a lot with my girfriend. I think I'll stick to this ROM till the great Dj_Steve comes up with Honeycomb.
Steve's 1.7.. its perfect!
I probably will upgrade when I get the confidence! Just really scared of upgrading and bricking the device. Compared to Touch Pro on WM - I remember upgrading to custom rom on the very first evening! I suppose this is partly because there was more room for WM to be improved on. I am very happy with Android tbh.
Would be really nice to use Honeycomb on this device, but somehow I think it's going to be challenging. I have heard a lot about DJ Steve's achievements, but...let's wait and see and support him however we can.
Another thing - I cannot find any screen shots of roms available - so less tempting to upgrade I think. If the designs were shown-off a bit better, I suppose I would do the leap of faith and upgrade
Current status
Currently running 1.4.6
reasons for this :-
tried 1.5.0, 1.5.1, 1.6.0, 1.6.1 had issues with all trying to use gps.
1.4.6 seems to have best battery of all.
Have checked what 3rd part apps & widgets have been installed as well and even with minimal installed 1.4.6 seems best
