[Q] Dell Venue OS change - Dell Venue

Hi everyone,
I have a Dell Venue phone and unfortunately there is a problem with it. The thing is after I charge it up it starts restarting itself and just keep restarting and stops at Dell logo. Nothing else comes up. I want to change the current android 2.2 to a different one maybe that would resolve the problem or is it just the battery? A hard reset helps for a few hours. Anyone? please! I hope I can fix this problem somehow and I am not going to lose my money and the phone.

I just talked to a dell representative yesterday and they told me the New OS upgrade to 3.0 has just been release, but we have to wait for the service provider to push it out over the air.
My venue doesn't have any of your issues, sounds like you might have installed an app that's messing up your phone.
You can do a system recover by holding down both volume buttons at the same time and turning the phone on until the screen loads, obviously do this from the off position.
Now that I think about it, it might be better to wait until you get an OS on an SD you can install.

I do not have a contract with a service provider (unlocked phone; prepaid T-mobile)....How am I going to get the update (Dell Venue; Android 2.2)?

I guess that might be where you would have to root it and then install the rooted version, but I don't know about that type of thing. It's just my guess.

I called a Dell service rep. Apparently they are releasing Android 2.2.2 and they are having big issues. The rep asked me to NOT upgrade when I get a message from the service provider (even if prepaid only I should get that) but check back with Dell whether the upgrade is ok. They expect a stable upgrade by end of August.

Thanks everyone. I tried the hard reset that is the only one thing which solves the problem for a few minutes but only for a few minutes. It was alright when I pruchased it but its started causing trouble a few weeks earlier. I do not know what the problem is. Is that true a new update coming out? Maybe that would make it OK. Dell UK is not selling the venue just the venue pro. I hope the update will help me. Or maybe I ask Lloyds about my phone insurance. I am falling in love with my BB torch white!

where are you located, because the dell mobile technician here told me it was 3.0 they are releasing over the air.

Dude, try to do a factory reset. Clear all the apps off your SD card first as I read that having apps on the card might prevent the phone from rebooting. Try the recovery option in manual.

In the US. But if you are right that would be great!

Version 3.0 - a version of the OS build. For Hong Kong - 3.02 for the Korean Olleh - 3.19, for AT&T - 3.21, but they all Android 2.2 or 2.2.2
Much doubt, that Dell will sharpen tablet's HoneyComb for our apparatus, at best it will be 2.3.3

sorry for my english

---

Yeah, u r right... Android 3.0 is ment only for tablets..... Venue screen is too small for this....

---

I've called dell on several occasions to ask about updating. I get a different answer everytime. Once it was gingerbread at the end of august, next it was honeycomb at the end of sept. and the latest was, not too sure, but there will be an update, oh and ice cream sandwich will be coming out by december and should work on the venue..... not sure what dell is up to really and dell doesn't seem to know what dell is up to????

---

Yeah lol.... I asked about update at Dell service center in Hyderabad and they answered that they didn't received any info about update....
