U.S and 2.1

So is there anyone left who owns a US streak and is waiting for the official 2.1 like me?
Or am i dumb and not understanding why i shouldnt just root it to 2.1? Ha i asked because all of my friends have rooted to 2.1 but ive just been waiting paciently for the official OTA.

Because 1.6 works fine meantime?

There's 1000's of 1.6 users, no least of which are 2.1 updaters who backdated (notice i didn't say downgraded) after deciding that 2.1 was bollox!
If the official release of 2.1 offers no improvements over the beta i wouldn't bother getting to excited. IMO all the 2.1 did was to remove all the good stuff from 1.6 and update the standard browser that i never use anyway!

Okayy cool thankss

And when will 2.2 be available?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App

Sadly, the latest word from Dell's blogger is "before 2011", which I'm sure translates into "last week of December" unless of course it slips and they claim never to have said 'before 2011".
I'm hoping he just gave a safe window to prevent another release date fiasco. Hopefully it'll much sooner.

I'm still running vanilla and I will do so most likely until a "real" version of 2.x comes out and the chefs manage to build some clean custom ROMs.
I don't need all the latest and greatest crap someone decides to poke into it, just mean and lean and I'll decide what goes in it after.

We all in the same 1.6 boat,waiting for 2.1 and best for 2.2

Yea, Ill wait for the OTA release as well. Actually for what I have been using the Streak for, Kindle for Android, it works very well. After the release, I will decide if I want to use my EVO as a hot spot or go with the alternate sim card for T-Mobil. T-Mobil has better plans than AT&T.

imma have to wait to bc coming from windows mobile i dont understand anything about android

First time user of Android myself (this August), initially was going to wait then realised that, with Dells track record, that could take forever (and yes, 3months is forever in phone world!). So took my Dell 00 unrooted, upgraded to 02 v1.6 then 02 2.1 (all in one go), and still unrooted!
No issues (knock on wood) except the usual, which are regardless of version, i.e phone standby consuming power, slow(er) maps/GPS lock etc, which aren't really problems per-se.

today is Jan 12 ,no froyo update,I think they are cheating us

ok here we are ,jan 12 is here ,and the update is not here , dell and at&t are making fun of us.

It's all at&t at this point. Just waiting on them. Or you could take matters into your own hands and install 2.2 yourself using the qdl tool.

You know what I will call att customer service and ask why I dont have froyo yet and if I get a stupid answer I will flipout over the phone and give them a week or else I will take my business business somewhere else. I think all streak owners should do this and they might stop taking us for granted

I used the qdl-tool to update then used the link and updated again but now when I hit the update button in settings it says turn on wifi when wifi is already on??? I just got the phone a few days ago so I don't know if this normal for the build or something

Funny... if you call AT&T customer service and ask about the 2.2 update, you can actually hear the representative getting that "glassy eyed" blank, "rabbit in the headlights" look when you try to explain what you are looking for. AND then, you can expect to be guided through a long, boring script of "Have you checked the settings.. Have you restarted the device..." and whatnot, only to be told, two hours later that the update is still in production and no actual date has been set for the release for the update.
Better to spend that two hours beating your head against the wall, or poking yourself in the eye with a spoon... It will be less painful, and more amusing for you.

Don't hold your breath, AT&T has not released 2.2 for ANY Android device. 2.2 for the Captivate was supposed to launch back in October, and that phone is sold in retail corporate stores unlike the Streak. Just use the QDL method, you'll be glad you did!

"Cheating" is a very nice way of stating it. Personally, I believe that they are felonious bastards that are stealing from us.

Other than apple, anyone waiting on a carrier to release something, is going to be in for a long wait!
Do yourself a favor, read up on the qdl-repair tool, download it, and get the 309?
version of 2.2, then update using the update tool to 318, you'll be glad you did!
The only "glitch" is if you are running the x64 version of windows. I followed the instructions TO THE T, on both my home & laptop x64 win7 and had zero problems updating via qdl.

I called earlier and sent me to Dell who states that the update rollout starts today, but it will get to me when it gets to me... no solid end date... bout to use QDL tonight.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App

I called both dell and ATT they where very clear. Roll out starts today but it will take time for att to push it OTA.
I will say it like they do:" OTA update starts at the middle of the beginning of mid January, start of first quarter but just before Hell freezes over"

At least u are not a US Galaxy S owner. They promised no froyo upgrade. Bit will gladly sell u a new galaxy s 2.

...well
it seems that across the board, ATT and Dell has been telling people that the rollout is kicking off today.
between here and the Dell Community FAQ Android page, it seems like that's the word they're filtering out.
waiting patiently.

So if that's the story has anyone got the update notice?

I don't understand these statements that it rolled out today, but it will take some time. Does that mean that some AT&T customers will get the update starting today then others will slowly start getting it? If so, why not let everyone get it at the same time?

AT&T streak users

hey guys. at&t user here. instead of waiting around for the official OTA update to 2.2 that we've been waiting to see come down the pipes for months with nothing to show for it, i decided to take matters into my own hands. I called up dell and told them my streak was stuck at the boot screen. The nice tech support lady told me run the factory recovery, (i didn't, just keep playing hot pursuit) and i told her there was no change. she immediately set me up for an exchange. So in 3 days (1 day processing, 2 day shipping UPS at no cost to me) i will receive a new streak and hopefully it will come pre-installed with the 2.2 update.
i will let you guys know if my plan works. and if not i'll get a new streak just the same.
and ya i could get 2.2 on there through flashing of 3 different roms but i really don't feel like going through that trouble when they can mail me one with it pre-installed.
cheers

couldnt just do the 2.2 update yourself?

Yeah no ****. Takes all of an hour to flash and reinstall apps. Brilliant

lol... Your not even sure it will be preloaded with 2.2. You'll just be back to square one with waisted time. Why even bother?? Also if it comes with the ATT 2.2, you know you will have all this extra bloatwear hogging up your memory you'll just end up tweakin your streak anyways at the end.

You also may be faced with the issue of it not being "broken". And they might decide to bill you...
Another thing to consider is the fact that you originally ordered an AT&T locked model. They will likely just send another AT&T locked model which I can tell you will still have 1.6 as I just received mine today and it as laden with 1.6.

This tactic is full of assumptions and totally without any precedence that it will work.
Full of Fail.

first of all they send me anew one before i send back my old one. second i don't really feel like wasting time going through the headache of updating a phone's rom 3 times just to get a buggy unofficial version of the rom. i can root the official and get rid of bloatware in a matter of 1 minute. second i get a brand new phone no matter what. no scratches or dings.
i'm not 15 anymore. i have a life and i cant be bothered with doing all these little mods and tweaks and ****. i have a life outside of technology.
umad?

LOL I am not 15, I work 60 hours a week, and play soccer 2 twice a week.
I guess but ur standard I have a lot of time in my hand.
I got the phone 2 weeks ago and run a quadrant test, and wasn't satisfied with it performance. Took me exactly 20 mins to upgrade to did Steve's version. Phone has actually not crashed once yet and its running better than the official 2.2.
How long did the phone call to dell take?

man you guys are seriously butthurt over this

I flashed official 2.2 straight from att 1.6 using QDL. I didnt have to jump thru 3 roms. Your method is good if u just want a new streak I guess, but to get 2.2, seems too much a hassle for me.
Btw ppl who have ordered the unlocked with 2.2 since dec. havent even received theirs yet, id be surprised if they gave u one so soon.

The Official 2/23/2011 OTA 2.2 Froyo Update Section!

*I've created this section so that our fellow member's of this XDA-Developer's community don't go posting all over the place that they've received the 2.2 Froyo update. And so that they can all have one place to post their comments and experience's about 2.2 Froyo.*
We've all heard the rumor's, On Feburary 1'st 2011 we will be seeing a 2.2 Froyo update roll-out to our Dell Streak's. We've read the post's, we've visited android websites, and we've even talked to rep's from Dell and At&t and O2 and Best Buy's. And all have said that today will be the day. As we all sit here with our finger's crossed in hopes that those promises are true, Today is the day we find out if we were lied to or if today is the day we will all see the light shine on the Dell streak.
If your one of the first few to see that update please post it here along with your thoughts and feelings about it.
*Keep in mind that OTA updates are sent to random phones. And that some people may get the update today and some may get the update tomorrow. But if the official update IS released today, you will be getting a copy.*

I so wish people would quit blaming Dell for this hassle/wait/frustration....
It is QUITE obvious who the culprit is...since every other Streak in the world has official access to Froyo, sans the AT&T customers...
.... and NO, no update from at&t yet... rickin frackin mackin smackin #^$_$'ers

the unofficial 2.2 is really good. (streakdroid)
i told myself i was going to wait for at&t no matter what but after about the third or fourth lie/letdown i joined streakdroid. and i did it back when you had to go through the entire process of eu1.6>eu2.1>flash recovery blah blah>and so forth. now its pretty much a 2 step process.
just my sound opinion

Not surprising at all. Those waiting have the opportunity along time ago to take matters into their on hand and get 2.2. FORGET AT&T and all those empty promises. Unleash the power of your Streak and don't get your device held hostage...lol
Yeah I too held out for a while. Now I think back on the doughnut build 1.6 and realize how outdated and bland it was so I gave up and did myself a favor and QDL and I have never looked back. By the time the official 2.2 ATT is released you'll have no choice but to go to a custom Rom because that will be outdated. Streakdroid is the way to go. I'm practically running full Gingerbread now on my Streak and couldn't be happier, Oh wait 1.7.0 is on its way imagine that.

Ahh, your just like me. I just got my phone and I fear of rooting it. I had no problem with rooting HTC phones but I'm a little scared of rooting the streak.

Same here. I had no probs with flashing roms on my Fuze, Tilt and Tilt II... It just seems that there is way too much to do when it comes to flashing android devices.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App

The hardest part is getting the drivers set up on your computer. Everything else just falls into place. It is very rare to completely brick your Streak, most people just give up on it and return their Streak. And even if you think you have bricked your Streak, the QDL will fix that and at the same time put you on 2.2 Froyo.

FROYO on the streak is legit.

Also, rooting a dell isn't any more difficult than rooting an htc

Yes i bought my dell streak directly from dell unlocked and it already came loaded with 2.2 froyo on it. but that's not why i want to root my phone. i want to root my phone for other reasons like to have the App2SD feature and also to be able to flash different rom's and themes on it. but like i said i fear the root part with the dell streak all other android devices that ran on HTC phones i never had a problem with. can you guys link me to the easiest tutorial on how to root it with maybe a video guide if avaliable. for some reason i always found it easier to follow a video rather then read something off a page lol. call me crazy but that's the way i am don't ask. by reading the posts on here i've noticed people who go to Theunlockr.com always find themselfs in a boot loop so i dont wanna trust that site with my phone even tho i always turned to that site as far as rooting goes for HTC brand phones that ran android.

What version of 2.2 are you running? Rooting stock Froyo is simple, install the drivers from here and download version 1.5.5 of SuperOneClick from here. MUST BE VERSION 1.5.5 - ALL NEWER VERSIONS I TRIED FAILED TO ROOT.
Once the driver is installed, extract SuperOneClick, run the exe and click root. If rooting fails, you need to fix your drivers. Right click on My Computer and click manage. In Device Manager, under Android Phone, if the device is called Android Composite ADB Interface you need to change the driver.
Right click and select Update Driver, choose install from a specific location and select don't search. On the next screen, uncheck the box to show compatible hardware.
You should be able to see two devices:
Android Composite ADB Interface and;
Android ADB Interface.
You want to select Android ADB Interface and click next. Wait for the drivers to install (takes a few minutes) and attempt to root again with SuperOneClick v1.5.5.
This is how I successfully rooted my Streak running Official 322 build.

[Q] Is 2.2 for sure in testing?

Because I'm curious, I know some say that its currently in testing.
I found this site from the Motorola site:
https://motorola-global-android.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/62460
Which makes it look like 2.2 is coming verrrry soon.

yes, i can tell you not only is it in testing but most likely coming soon.
i have seen proof of it on phones.

No its OTA. It goes out like all the other moto phones ota's.
the private moto forums have discussed it and it seems besides one girl having issues (unrelated to the update probably) everyone is saying it works good.
I dont know what they are watiing for, but surprisingly, the 2.2 rom is done and ready to ship. Probably waiting fot att confirmation.

Sweet. That is excellent news.

Uh oh
Will it still upgrade to 2.2 if I have removed the AT&T branded crapware?
What application/service do I need to unblock in droidwall for it to come down?

Did you totally remove the crapware?? I used Bloat Freezer on the ATT bloatware and unfroze everything before updating. No problems.

Yes. This was before I read that you had to keep it. Removed without backup with Titanium right after I had rooted. Would a factory reset put it back? I'd like to not have to exchange the phone at a store, but not having Froyo is kind of a killer. I mean, FPSE isn't even compatible with eclair

What i'm hoping for is that motorola will put it on the update map soon so that we have a rough date. As for apps.. if anything couldn't we get the files off one of our bravos if factory reset doesn't work?

This is my first motorola android phone. How long does it typically take after they release the final build of a sw version for them to officially release to the general public? Also, has anyone who has gotten the update, uploaded it anywhere for others to download or is that even possible with this type of release? Thanks.
