Hi! I have a problem while surfing with my new Dell Streak. When going to certain websites (may blogs and forums), I get an error message saying (in swedish, since Iīm swedish) Problem with dataconnection: Too many server redirections. Can someone help me access these websites? Is there a setting I need to change? I really need help, since I canīt even access my own blog using my Dell Streak. Thank you!

Update to a slightly newer 2.2 build or use opera.

How do I know what version I have?
And how do I change it?

You're on 1.6 if you press menu to unlock
You're on 2.2 if you slide to unlock (2.1 also I think)

To check for updates:
settings-> about phone -> system updates (you may lose stored data if you update)

In general, to check your Android version, build #, etc:
settings-> about phone -> Android version
settings-> about phone -> build number
settings-> about phone -> Baseband version

Should look something like this (some example I copied -- too lazy)
Android 2.2.
Baseband GAUSB1A130900-EU (309 I think)
Build 11548

So that link I posted should be:
Baseband *318*
Build 12821

I have 2.2. Any other tips?

You didn't list your baseband/build information. If it's older than the one listed below, you can try updating to it by clicking on it.


Q. I bought my Streak Unlocked, I received the OTA Froyo update, but I am getting the redirect error. When will Dell fix this?

A. Here is the latest Android 2.2 update for the unlocked phones that are currently on Dell version 3.09 or 3.15 that fixes the issue with browser redirect errors:

I downloaded the uppdate, but how do I install it? What versions should I check for? Kernel, OEM or just simply version? Baseband: gausb1a131500-eu, kernel: 2.6.32.9-perf, version: 12332

Did you click on the link from your Streak's browser? I can't remember for sure but I think it was automatic after that.

Looks like you're on 3.15 build 12332.

Yes, I did click the link, and downloaded (twice). It only says I downloaded, but there is no installation notice. I also checked for update using the auto update function on the phone.

I downloaded it in the native browser, clicked on it from the notifications bar. Then it offered to "Update now" or "Update later" so it seems to be working for me -- I'm also on 3.15.
