how cool is that :D

Hah this is rich!!! I gave my phone for repairs ... today one hour before the update (rofl) that is just ...

I've got the pre-NoDo update in the first "wave" (Samsung Omnia 7 successfully updated to 7008) So I asume that if I had my phone now I would be happy right now with the new update :D

Can someone check if they had the first update in time and the second again in time? this would be some kind of releaf for some people :)

BTW don't compare Apple with Microsoft ... And pleace don't compare Xbox 360 with iPhone :D it's ... dumb ... how can MS update every freaking PC/Laptop with SP1 for Win7? Clearly there is a reason for the update to take long ... At first there was problems ... what if now there is a bigger problem? And eliminates 50% of the devices? Better sure than sorry as some say... But MS told us that the update is OUT ... so there is only one reason for not having it right now ... the chain between you and MS ... the freaking carrier period!

No one says nothing for the unlocked phones :D what happens if someone have some info please share it all here will be thankful :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] TheRaggyGandalf:
You probably need to seperate O2 UK and O2 Germany

And Deutsche Telekom AG is called T-Mobile in Germany, too but thats just nitpicking ;)

guys calm down ... TODAY I AM GOT FEB UPDATE .. ( i posed pic on previous page _ ... TELUS - SLOWPOKES

carriers could hold update as long as they wish.. and i am not blame them after - bricked samsungs .. no one eana bother with warantly return .
[Windows Phone 7 General] pjfan75:
Do you know what firmware and radio software you had before the update? Those 2 are the only ones different from my DVP without NoDo.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Halle:
So in other words, I will NEVER recieve an update, since my phone is unlocked and unbranded?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Dumdidum:
Of course you will...
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tim.Smith:
You should be getting it soon if it truly is unbranded and unlocked from my understanding.
[Windows Phone 7 General] WithinRafael:
Chevron won't work on NoDo.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Halle:
I was wondering since you said that the carriers are the ones pushing out the update. However this can not be true for unbranded devices? In other words, MS is also pushing out the update to unbranded devices. Either that or I completely misunderstood your earlier statement :p
[Windows Phone 7 General] vander09:
Mozart with official NoDo

I have a htc mozart, i had the leaked NoDo for about a week, and today, 22-03-11, when i found out that the NoDo update was out, i connected to zune check for update and there was one, so updated to 7.0.7390.

Have not unlock with chevron, and have unbranded my phone when installing the leaked NoDo.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vander09:
i got it :D

this afternoon in the UK, with mozart unbranded from orange, and had the leaked NoDo before the real thing.. updated in less than 20 minutes :D, smoother than my hair lol
[Windows Phone 7 General] vander09:
i got it today. Mozart unbranded. before had the 7.0.7389 now i have the official 7.0.7390 :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] bmazloum:
SFR hasn't gotten ****. Its pissing me off!!!
[Windows Phone 7 General] moonshines:
heres a sad news especially for telus branded device owners.

http://wmpoweruser.com/carriers-to-be-slow-on-nodo-updatemay-roll-out-over-course-of-weeks/

i hope the other cariers will be quick to have the update available to their customers.

there is also a rumor ive read in the tmobile forum that the update for tmob branded wp7s will be made available on the 25th.
[Windows Phone 7 General] FishFaceMcGee:
Microsoft distributes the updates. The carriers tell Microsoft when. If there's no carrier, then they release it when it's ready.

However, the release schedule is apparently gradual even when the carrier gives the OK or if it's available because you're unbranded. This is what makes no sense in comparison to iPhone/Xbox/Windows desktop.
[Windows Phone 7 General] uristic:
I also have an unbranded Omnia 7 (bought on contract, but it's unbranded... Slovenia and out carriers are way too small =P) and I still didn't get the update. Though I got the "pre NoDo" immediately as it started rolling out.

Haven't seen an Omnia 7 user reporting for reciving the update...
[Windows Phone 7 General] emkovicz:
Unbranded Omnia 7, Vodafone, Czech Republic. I was offered the update by a popup message. Installation was without any problem.
[Windows Phone 7 General] HTCalltheway:
Hello, i just updated, so here's my info:

1. Rogers (debranded device though)

2. unlocked

3. no Chevron

4. had leaked 7.0.7389 before the official update.

Hope it helps :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] uristic:
Nice.... at what time (hour) ?
[Windows Phone 7 General] fiinix:
No update yet (Omnia 7 unbranded). 7008.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mo3ulla:
ms distribute platform updates on wed night .. ONLY .. so in best case th of next week

and tbh it is NOT sad news ... i dont rly wana .. for - update which will brick my phone .. and generaly i am not flashagolic

why all bothered about updates if NEW BUILD DOES NOT JAILBREAKED ? XD ..

copy paste is not a point to sacrifice - ringtones . homebrew apps .. as for me - well I NEED RUSSIAN KEYBOARD. in more easy words .. i need jailbreaked build to install dual lang keyboard .. otherwise most of functions for me will be - obsolete
[Windows Phone 7 General] webwalk®:
actually i didnt had enough and it told me it would need ~444MB freespace

ive cleared around 4 gigs and were fine, phone is only 2gb filled

ive got the popup too, but you can also manually search for updates in zune options. i guess branded devices will have to wait a few more days...

yea sadly still no jailbreak...
[Windows Phone 7 General] ratchetjaw:
So did they fix the mms issue for unlocked phones on different carriers?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tim.Smith:
My understanding is Microsoft released the update to carriers, the carriers "test" and then when they give the okay Microsoft turns off the flag that has your phone blocked and you get the update.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Nano3:
Just got home and tried again... Nothing yet... ARGH! ha ha
[Windows Phone 7 General] cyclical:
Does anyone have any idea what changed between versions 7389 and 7390?

I have a Sprint Arrive which came with the NoDo update, but version is showing 7389. Even on Microsofts website they don't show any information between the 2 versions.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nathantw:
They're most likely releasing it slowly right now because they want to see if any phones and what type of phone blows up with the update.
[Windows Phone 7 General] moonshines:
no update yet.

let me just share a post from the tmobile forum about the update

this is WHERE i read it

i hope this is not just a rumor but a fact that tmob wp7 device owners will get the update on the said date or hopefully sooner.:confused:
[Windows Phone 7 General] interware.ch:
LG E-900 Optimus 7, debranded from Swisscom with Firmware update to open-EUR, on Sunrise net. received 7008 in feb, no 7390 yet.
[Windows Phone 7 General] JamesAllen:
No on ATT

Same here, no for the Focus on ATT.
[Windows Phone 7 General] moonshines:
do you think this REPORT is true?
[Windows Phone 7 General] vHatch:
Guess you are wrong about that one. :(
[Windows Phone 7 General] Nano3:
Dang... dont put my hopes down :|
[Windows Phone 7 General] BlueAnt1958:
Telsta AUS

No update here in and don't expect it anytime soon if I know Telstra in Australia :mad:

I think it maybe time to unlock, debrand and run nodo that way. :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] xmckinzie:
I removed the ATT-US for my Focus and the first update prompted. It's updating now.
[Windows Phone 7 General] gsidhom:
Egypt

HD7 , Mobinil Egypt, Unbranded , updated today to 7390
[Windows Phone 7 General] moonshines:
sorry. just wanted to share the info. im also kind of losing my hopes as well as my patience waiting for this update. i direly need copy paste n my phone. still were going to get the update this week incase the info is true.
[Click General] roughkoala:
Hey guys,

I'M using this Rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=892401

Its really great, but...

The FM Radio can only go with steps 0.2, that means my Channel has 100.2 but you can only choose 100.1 or 100.3 and so on.

Why no 0.1 steps???

Why must BT be on to use Radio??

Any Chance of using 0.1 steps?? Such as registry Hack or something!

PS : I really am a Noob, flashing ROMs is all I can do :D

Greetz from Germany!!
[Click General] vura:
Change the region settings to enable 0.1 searching on fm radio and bluetooth is related to the fm Hardware somehow cant change that in any way

no kickstand?
[EVO 4G General] Brutus2TheMax:
Good. The kickstand was stupid. How lazy can you be. I cannot wait for this phone.
[EVO 4G General] xviiivx:
I'm not lazy, and I love the kickstand. Just because you don't have a need doesn't mean it's stupid and people are lazy. I work a desk job and listen to bluetooth headphones.. it's pretty cool to have my evo on the kickstand so I can see the album art. Beats the hell out of buying a dock to keep my phone upright.
[EVO 4G General] gqstatus0685:
I work at a desk also and would like the kickstand.
[EVO 4G General] Brutus2TheMax:
I understand that just because I don't use it doesn't mean nobody uses it. To me it's a gimmick. Displaying a phone upright so what? You can see album art? To me I wish it wasn't there on the EVO 4G. To each their own though.
[EVO 4G General] gqstatus0685:
You said it wrong. I think you meant to say "To each his own".
[EVO 4G General] muppetman462:
That phone is impressive. Love the idea of taking pictures in 3d, but I suck at taking pictures, so a blurry 3d picture is just as worthless as a blurry 2d picture..
[EVO 4G General] plmiller0905:
I like the front of the phone but the back of it kinda look like a gigantic cassette tape. Don't get me wrong I like HTC phones...I have an Evo and an Inspire. But I may pass on this one and grab the Nexus S instead.
[EVO 4G General] xviiivx:
Actually, it's pretty convenient for long video chat sessions, too. Just sayin... it may be a gimmick, but it's a very useful one.
[EVO 4G General] Brutus2TheMax:
If you're going to correct my grammar and try and rack up an extra post then fine. You forgot to put the "." inside of the quotations.
[EVO 4G General] smarmytime:
It's also convenient for using it as a clock at night...I'll miss the kickstand.
[EVO 4G General] newvet:
Despite it all I want the kickstand also
[EVO 4G General] Zabalba:
I'm sure 3rd party manufacturers will make cases with the kick stand. Not sure why they dropped it from the design though
[EVO 4G General] blakeboys:
I will miss the kickstand. I use it to take more stable pictures and when holding the phone in landscape mode. I flip the kickstand open and slide it between my ring and middle finger on my right hand. Helps so much! and big hands helps too I guess.
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
I haven't seen a picture of the back yet...where are you guys seeing that there's no kickstand?
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
Kickstands are FTW
[HTC 7 Pro] Charms:
Okay, so its been a little over a week, so I thought I would post some objective opinions.

Whilst there a mixed batch of reviews out there, my personal overall feelings on the device are quite positive. Its a sturdy, well built device which in my opinion is let down mainly by a below par screen and a keyboard that is not quite as good as the one on the touch pro 2.

Additionally the paltry 8gb of internal storage borders on an insult! Particularly as microsofts cloud services are not what they should be, and wp7 currently has no apps to support streaming from home media servers.

Having bought it to replace my lost TP2, I honestly think that HTC also should have included a front facing camera and the speakerphone functionality of its predecessor. In terms of hardware, that's where my criticisms end......

Whilst the keys lack the travel found on the tp2,the keyword still works pretty well!

The screen washes out far too easily, but out of direct sunlight it is vibrant with good colour reproduction.

If you are moving from a windows mobile device, whilst wp7 is a delightful interface, you may wish to wait for Microsoft to release the mango update. As slick and intuitive as wp7 is there is still a great deal missing...

No direct sync with outlook

No unified mailbox

No ability to make or send videos in mms form.

No voice guided Sat nav software

No support for Rar files......... No file explorer!

No cut and paste

No pause dialling

And these are just the things I can remember off the top of my head!

To reiterate the user interface is awesome but still very much in its infancy. I think it is absolutely ridiculous that I can no longer drag and drop audio and video onto the device without first going through Zune.

the camera is pretty good as is 720p video recording.

Overall it is a good device that has the potential to be great but only if and when MS decide to pull their finger out.

I've probably forgotten loads of stuff. If any one has any questions please feel free to ask and I'll do my best to answer.
[HTC 7 Pro] cohowap:
I think it's only fair to add a comparison to the HTC Arrive (sprints 7 pro).

No direct sync with outlook

- Outlook works perfectly fine with HTC Arrive, syncs and pushes.

No unified mailbox

- There is no unified email on any WP7 device yet, but will come in Mango release.

No ability to make or send videos in mms form.

- Can't do this on the Arrive either, can send pictures just fine though.

No voice guided Sat nav software

- The Arrive comes with TeleNav, which works just fine. It is voice guided, text to speach and all.

No support for Rar files......... No file explorer!

- Can't do this either, however, you can have a file explorer once unlocked (though, unlocking via Chevron doesn't seem to work with NoDo update. Official Developer unlocking seems to not work also, but I can't confirm)

No cut and paste

- NoDo update enabled this, so the Arrive can do it.

No pause dialling

- I'm not even sure what this is.
[HTC 7 Pro] jb347:
Can you force this phone to roam like in WM6.1?
[HTC 7 Pro] 92GTA:
I gotta say that MS nailed the OS in terms of actually working and being vert smoothe and fast!

As mentioned, Zune for syncing blows nasty chunks. It's a shame because I like the Zune app, but dragging and dropping files is a must, just like custom ringers, IMO.

It also sucked that SkyDrive is such a piss-poor excuse for a cloud service. I had to email all of my word and excel documents to myself and save them to the phone, only way I could get them on there.

The hardware is great but the antenna is worse than the TP2, less signal. Also when coming out of roaming, I have had to reset because on the Sprint Arrive, it wouldn't kick back from 1X to EVDO.
[HTC 7 Pro] cyclical:
In regards to Zune for syncing, what do you mean dragging and dropping files is a must? I was able to drag and drop all my MP3's and Picture folders from Zune onto the phone icon in Zune and it synced up for me just fine.

I haven't messed with skydrive, so no comment on that one.

My phone went into roam a second ago here in my office (always had bad reception here), and when I moved to a better spot it jumped back onto EV without any resets or anything like that.
[HTC 7 Pro] 92GTA:
Trying going into roaming in the mountains and no signal at aall, then let me know if it comes back to EVDO ok :D

What I meant was unless the files are already in ZUNE, you can't drag them to your device. Which means for example when I put my MicroSD card from my TP2 into my computer, I could not drag the files onto my Arrive. Even when I told ZUNE to check that folder, it still wouldn't import the files for me to drag them on.

Yeah SkyDrive is a joke, especially for media...
[HTC 7 Pro] Sb22:
I'm not sure I understand your frustration with SkyDrive?

1. Go to www.skydrive.com and login

2. Select the folder you want to upload to

3. Click "Add Files" on the top

4. A new windows pops up where you can drag documents to. You also have the toption to select documents for upload manually.

5. Drag and drop away

Shouldn't be any reason to email files to your phone first.
[HTC 7 Pro] mikoriad:
After looking closely at my HTC Arrive, I swear I can see 2 small circles just above and to the right of the HTC symbol on the front. One I know is the light sensor but what is the second one. I hear that it is actually a front facing camera... The whole thing looks just like it does on the Evo.
[HTC 7 Pro] wifihack:
I was just looking at some reviews and noticed the USB port on the side.

WTF are they thinking?

I keep my Tilt2 in an upright dock on my desk for sync.

How do you build a dock for that?

And in my car, i keep the unit in a dash holder with a power connector

out the bottom. A side connector would be real clumsy.

The cord would be under a tight stress angle.

Dave.
[HTC 7 Pro] Ricki_Hunter:
Yes - it's VERY annoying! aside from the position, which as far as i can tell is just a poor design, changing to ANOTHER different connector is ridiculas...MicroUSB-EMU was fine, most camera's and other USB devices use MicroUSB connectors, so i have loads of those cables... now i have to buy all new! boo!
[HTC 7 Pro] udaberrian:
WM6.5 for 7PRO?

I make the same question: ¿can I have in my 7 PRO the WM6.5? I would be very happy if they could. The WP7 is very poor.

I want to run in my phone apps like Garmin, WiFi-Router, File Explorer, Remote Desktop native, and more.

:(

Is there a miraculous person who can create this ROM?
[HTC 7 Pro] Canesfan22:
One is Proximity and one is Ambient Light
[HTC 7 Pro] LayneRobinson:
I'm pretty sure the switch to micro-usb is due to the European standardization on that plug. All phones in Europe must comply and it just makes sense to push that to the US (and any other country) as well since it simplifies manufacturing. I've seen news articles where the US is standardizing starting in January 2012.....guess which plug they are standardizing on -- micro-usb. Bite the bullet, it'll be worth it in the long run.

I'm just glad it's getting easier to get USB plugs for the wall and car.....now you only have to swap out the cable instead of getting new chargers.
[HTC 7 Pro] udaberrian:
If I have HTC 7 PRO, ¿can I sync with Outlook "perfectly"? Because now I can't.
[HTC 7 Pro] LayneRobinson:
The Syncing with Outlook should really read "Syncs with Exchange" as you sync to the server and not to your local program. I exported all of my contacts from Outlook and imported them into Windows Live Mail (tied to my Live account) and got them across that way.
[Xoom General] omnia1994:
samsung just announced that both of their tab will be released on early SUMMER n june 8 means i have to wait till june for buying anyone?

i m fed up of waiting, so i 'd like to ask xoom users, are xoom worth to buy? wat is it's bad?
[Xoom General] eyan15:
If you have decided on buy an Android tablet, I don't see any reason why Galaxy tab's will be better than Xoom...

I can't see any negative to Xoom when you compare Galaxy tabs, but there are a few benefits,

Xoom comes with vanilla honeycomb which is million times better than any other 'skins'. Also you will get updates much faster and don't have to wait for Samsung to port it.

Look wise I like the Xoom..
[Xoom General] sirius b:
I read an article yesterday that stated samsung is using a custom honeycomb UI so I lost interest immediately when I read that. I enjoy my xoom and I will stick with it at this point. I have also read that it feels like cheap plastic, which is another huge drawback in my opinion. To me a better screen isn't worth molested android, especially a version that is not only buggy and incomplete, but also total revamp of the whole UI, I foresee samsung screwing it up with a laggy interface as usual.
[Xoom General] funnycreature:
The thread should be merged with this one. Maybe you'll find more inspiration there.
[Xoom General] omnia1994:
btw, last time i watched a review and it said that "the marketplace need an update to view all apps". does the marketplace updated now n can view all of the apps?
[Xoom General] B Dizzle:
I would go with the Google Experience device. Chances are you will receive updates more frequently on the Xoom than the Galaxy 10.1. Plus TouchWiz is on this thing according to Engadget. Not sure I would want that screwing up my Honeycomb greatness!
[Xoom General] omnia1994:
does xoom really very heavy? some user complained about it's weight in galaxy tab forum.. isit true?
[Xoom General] martonikaj:
It is quite heavy. different people have different tolerences though. It will be about .30lbs heavier than the 10.1 galaxy tab.
[Xoom General] musashiken:
Well any tablet when held long enough will feel heavy. Depends on how comfortable you are holding the tablet and how strong your arms and wrists and fingers are haha..

Perhaps you can try holding a book of similar weight and see if you can stand it.
[Xoom General] omnia1994:
thx for everyone =)

but i just read about ppl said xoom will be sstop producing on june.

will this cause it lacks of accessories n software update in the future? is this true?
[Xoom General] gogol:
I read that the TouchWiz 4.0 is not deeply integrated into the Honeycomb (find the CNET article about this).

They are just bunch of apps and widgets. Even the 10.1 will be launched first as stock, which users can (or forced) to download the TouchWiz 4.0 via update.

I am not too worried with this TouchWiz thing, because XDA devs will root and we will be able to install custom ROM "anyway" :) Unless the bootloader is LOCKED and encrypted (like Motorola phones), history said Samsung has never done that.

So, I am now OK with this TouchWiz. From what I look in the hands-on video, it is still Honeycomb.

And also, living in Europe, Samsung gave updates to their phones here :)

So yeah, pretty much covered about the update.

I really like the hardware profile of this Samsung 8.9" :)

- Lighter at 470 gram versus 725 gram of Xoom.

- Thinner at 8.6"

- especially the PLS screen which is even better than the IPS of iPad2, no contest with Xoom in this area.
[Xoom General] omnia1994:
i heard that there's issue that xoom cant read sdcard? isit true? =(
[Xoom General] martonikaj:
just answered your other thread, yes, the SDcard doesn't work yet on the Xoom.
[Xoom General] armychris28210:
weight of xoom

im pretty sure that metal weighs more than plastic, so as far as how heavy it is....

i mean, c'mon..think outside the box people.

btw..my xoom is freakin awesome, and had a apple guy convert from ipad to xoom this past week. freakin sweet.
[Xoom General] Kcarpenter:
If you considering the Samsung, you obviously don't own a Galaxy phone. If you did you would not even think about it. :rolleyes:
[Xoom General] Bobdlux:
^ These words are true.
[Xoom General] kalfou:
True...two companies I really REALLY dislike and that's samsung and Sony, over the years they have royally screwed me over, Samsung stop caring as soon as you hand over the cash and Sony screw you once they have your cash
[Xoom General] lanternca:
I love my xoom, and don't think i'd get any other HC tablet right now. I will say, I do like 8.9" and my only hardward wish with the xoom is for it be lighter and thinner.
