In the 'People' hub swipe to 'Whats new' & under 'Whats New' you will see 'All accounts' in the accent color. By touching this another page will open showing Facebook, Windows Live & eventually Twitter & Linked in will be available when activated. This allows you to Filter the posts from each social feed, making them easier to follow (it just keeps getting better).
[Windows Phone 7 General] jmerrey:
I remember before mango you could only dial someone from your headset with the voice controls. Now, you can open programs, etc just like you can from the phone itself. Maybe this was changed with nodo, i'm not sure.

[Windows Phone 7 General] tboy2000:
I don't have that option. Only two options. Use favorites as wallpaper and pin favourites to homescreen. Could it be variations in mango betas or only shows up depending on language settings?
[Windows Phone 7 General] fraincs:
Just to make sure you are at the good place : start picture hub you should see camera roll album date and people and three dots when I click mine it says :

choose background

shuffle background

settings
[Windows Phone 7 General] jan123456789012:
How do I change the accent color of the background and live tiles now in mango. I read in a thread but I can't seem to find it ???
[Windows Phone 7 General] tboy2000:
Ok am there. Main page once Pictures Hub launched. I don't even have the three dots. Only way to change background image is to tap and hold screen. Again no three dots at bottom o screen.

Am using the the mango rom with market enabled and sideloading and have set all languages to US English in settings. Confused dot com.
[Windows Phone 7 General] munkeyphyst:
I see you're on an HD2, did you install MANGO using ZUNE, or flash a ROM? If it's a flashed ROM, maybe the hacked mango ROM you flashed is missing some of the elements of the official mango beta 2 that everyone else is refering to?

Create Playlist on phone in music hub

Not sure if its been talked about but you can create a playlist on the phone simply clear your "now playing" soft reset is the best way then go to your first sone and tap and hold when menu comes up tap add to now playing continue to do this to all the songs you want in playlist then go to the now playing by taping on the current song in history and tap the menu and then create playlist add name and you are done it will now add it to the playlist section on your phone...
[Windows Phone 7 General] efjay:
Does the phone playlist sync back to your pc?
[Windows Phone 7 General] tboy2000:
Ah maybe. I am running beta 1 flashed rom.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rruffman:
Yes where you can edit it. as once you create the playlist on the phone you cant change it while its on the phone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] pittphan:
You have to add some pics to your favorites. Ot will automatically shuffle through your favorites on the live tile. Works perfectly for me.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tmak22:
What about creating picture folders, because the only way i can view pics I added is by the date
[Windows Phone 7 General] tboy2000:
I did add pics to Favorites. Still no joy. Are you using beta 1 or 2?
[Windows Phone 7 General] efjay:
Thanks, sounds good.
[Windows Phone 7 General] johnnyme:
hello all, yesterday I installed the second beta version of Mango and I continue to encounter two major problems:

1) when I insert the earphones is impossible to make a call. GSM signal is completely regular but if one is busy and calls me the same signal appears to me when I call. The good part is that I can listen to the radio without anyone bothering me:) ps: the data traffic runs smoothly because I get emails.

2) To me it is a big problem: To search for an appointment or a series of recorded events (eg dental appointment to find out what I planned) I use google calendar via the browser on my phone! the search function is not provided for appointments.

Marketplace Error

How did you fixed it? Whenever I try to download something, I just see a dimmed-out screen saying Downloading... And then an error. Originally, it used to queue up downloads.

Note: I can't download anything from Marketplace... Especially games.

Regards.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
Really nice trick reported on wmpoweruser.com:

make a new folder on skydrive.com, click on the information button and change its type from documents to photos. Now upload some videos into this newly created folder.

After a while it will appear in your device's picture hub and you're able to stream those videos directly from skydrive to your device.

I already tried it and it works like a charm.
[Windows Phone 7 General] drky:
photo jump list

Not sure if this has been posted, but when in pictures and you click on date and then click on a date you get a jump list like apps, just found it not sure if it new or was in NODO.
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
NoDo has this too.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nizzon:
A few questions about how well facebook is integrated in the peoplehub...

1. Can we like comments? (I mean like comments to pictures and statusupdates, not only the updates and pictures themselves)

2. Can we like Photos?

3. Can we tag Photos?

4. Can we see

everyone

who liked a certain thing, and not just 2-3 of them?

5. Can we @-tag people in comments?
[Windows Phone 7 General] norgan:
Nizzon, points 1 and 2 yes :-D there is a tag feature but you have to do it from the pictures hub. It still only shows number of likes not who it is from memory.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nizzon:
Sigh, useless.

Guess I will be stuck with the facebook-app then, which also suck.

How hard can it be?
[Windows Phone 7 General] andycted:
Thanks for the tips !

that's cool, but isn't it a bit cumbersome ? I mean, is that how it will -always- be done, or a pre-functionality ?

Very interesting ! But I can't seem to find a way to copy text ??

lastly, not to spark too much discussion, but I find ie9 having a lot of catching up to the android browser
[Windows Phone 7 General] DJRedLine:
care to elaborate?
[Windows Phone 7 General] andycted:
If that doesn't spark too much discussion, sure.

in comparison I think the android browser is:

* faster in loading

* faster in rendering (no white, rendering space)

* better for reading (reflow)

* more compatible (renders everything perfectly)

* more js compatible (I can use every single form)

* has find-in-page (removed in ie9)

* has a neater way to select/copy stuff

* has better interface (ie9 has everything buried in menus now)

* has flash (ok, let's not start debating flash though)

This thread is about mango tips, though...
[Windows Phone 7 General] andycted:
Either they removed it or something is wrong with my phone. The album is there, but the videos don't show up (it's empty)
[Windows Phone 7 General] jr.solis:
Did you resolve this?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Laquox:
Just some tips that I have worked out from various other resources I think should be added:

Mango Possilble 16-bit banding issue fix

After reverted back Nodo with Chevron Unlocked, i had the newest advanced config installed and fix the 16-bit banding issue on No-Do for me.

Time passed away, i miss Mango, so i decided to re-up to Mango tonight.

And as i got though 7401 , no banding issue, after 7712, no banding issue again! and now, 7720 RTM, no banding issue, everything is displayed beautifuly on the screen.

After several test with some pictures which are claimed to be a perfect test for 16-bit banding issue, i found no problem at all, it is totaly different with my previous Mango experience when 16-bit banding ruins my whole experience.

You guys can try yourself by revert back all the way to 7004, get the new firmware and radio, unlock it, fix the 16-bit banding issue right at nodo with Advanced Config, and then reup to Mango.

I will be happy if someone here see it helpful.

Also, in order to get the "fast switching apps alphabetical list" in the application list, you must have over 45 apps on yourlist to get it.

Having issues getting the custom ringtone working within Zune. Also having issues with ringring7. The custom folder is showing in zune but not on my omnia 7. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Edit: Sorted
[Windows Phone 7 General] Strike_Eagle:
You mean ringtones in mango? Or you are still in Nodo?
[Windows Phone 7 General] mlk:
Quick one to add I found: Custom ringtones that dont transfer/upload/sync to the pheone: check the bit rate as well, if its under 200kbs, it will transfer & sync, otherwise you will be scratching your head as it all seems to work until you try to access them - damn MS and their half-arse documentation!
[Windows Phone 7 General] Talys:
*cries* My list says: direction list, search results, clear map, favorite places, hide favorites, aerial view on, and settings.

Where is Visual Voicemail? I dont' see it under Settings -> Phone or Settings -> Cellular.

Really bizzare: :confused:

When I receive an SMS, it comes in twice. Like:

------

Hello!

------

Hello!

------

My incoming SMS is still off by 4 hours, too.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tiny17:
Sprint.

Annoyingly - Sprint firmware is borked and won't allow me to type a message over 160 character (and auto into two), it just greys out the send button. For some reason I thought this would be fixed with the mango update, but I guess I will have to wait for the Sprint version later this year. No biggie though.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Marvin_S:
Facebook problems here too, manual syncing did not work.

also random html5 website did not work... And a html5 video completely froze my device, its a beta I know. IE still need some work, also a lot of websites don't listen to the "desktop" setting and force themselves the mobile website.

multitasking is great.

push seems to work for the troubled Europeans! This is the biggest thing! Thank you Microsoft :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Talys:
Background Tasks/Multitasking

Here are two examples of native application multitasking. I don't know if this worked in NoDo -- perhaps someone can try.

Skydrive upload:

1. Go to Camera, and slide back to the last picture. Share to -> Skydrive

2. Immediately press and hold back button and switch to another task

Check for the photo on a PC; the picture will be there shortly.

(In NoDo, maybe try hitting the Windows key and jumping into another app).

IE9 rendering:

1. Go to Engadget.com and hit Desktop version link at the bottom (Desktop version takes forever to render on phone).

2. Switch to another task. Wait a minute.

3. Switch back. Engadget is rendered!

(please say so if either of these actually *aren't* backgrounding, and it's some clever slieght of hand)

Obviously, the Music (Zune) app works, too. But that's not new, except for the controls in the Toast notification area and wallpaper.
[Windows Phone 7 General] prjkthack:
The native applications always had the capability to do tasks in the background. All the native apps do them in some shape or form. What we'd all really like is 3rd-party background tasks and applications. That's the primary concern here.

So those examples above have always been possible and still work just fine in Mango.
[Windows Phone 7 General] webwalk®:
facebook chat not working...

IE9

http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/

speedread - nothing

fishtank - 5min, still loading

it sais it need more info, press ok, then fullscreen trying to connect with facebook, ie9 error loading page

oh wait... everything works better with wifi enabled :D .. now i get a facebook error, try again soon..
[Windows Phone 7 General] superaca:
help!, how to unlock mango? can anyone upload the tools?
[Windows Phone 7 General] superaca:
facebook chat works fine on me
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
Those tools are part of the SDK which is free to download for all. But you need to be a registered developer in order to get your device unlocked. Or at least know a registered developer who is kind enough to unlock your device for you (each dev can unlock up to 3 devices). There's currently no other way of unlocking.

[Windows Phone 7 General] xz4r:
try deleting your facebook account and add it again ... now i kinda have a not working facebook chat :/
[Windows Phone 7 General] hamzie:
Go to your windows live messenger (on PC).. LINK YOUR PRIMARY ID YOU ARE USING FOR YOUR PHONE TO YOUR FACEBOOK ACCOUNT now go to settings and then email and account and sync BOTH YOUR FACEBOOK AND THE PRIMARY ID let it do its stuff now go to messages and change your status to offline NOT APPEAR OFFLINE now change it to online and leave your phone.. till the 'connecting is done' it should now work

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Now can someone explain how i fix the msn part.

So someone msgs me on windows live ID right.. and itll come up to my phone... but instead of his or her name.. their whole email comes up as the 'sender/recepient' and when i click on the email it links me to the contact.. so the phone knows who the sender is.

but when i go to that contact.. i can SMS, Facebook chat option.. theres no option for windows live even though they are online and just messaged me

and in available online.. only FB people are listed.. no msn people

hope that makes sense
[Windows Phone 7 General] ambc:
The Facebook chat solution was give by and it works for me *blackpenny15: For those of you with Facebook chat issues do the following:

Make sure Facebook is linked to your live account, if not do it.

Go to settings, accounts and make sure you Facebook account doesn't need attention, if it does then input ur password again and let it connect.

next on the accounts screen, hold down the Facebook account and press synchronise, then do the same to your live account and bingo it will start working and the Facebook chat toggle in the messages hub will be switched on, no need for a bogus URL that isn't working.*
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
Did anybody besides me test that speed reading thing they have shown in several videos? I'm far away from having those 20fps or more. It's more like 5fps. No matter if I'm on 3G or WiFi, it's damn slow.

And wasn't the XBox Live hub supposed to have a jump list as well? Or do I confuse things here.

Whatever, I'm absolutely stunned by Mango so far. Smooth, fast, reliable push notifications... Love it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nok_fusion:
the same live account to the device? because i'm using an another for facebook
[Windows Phone 7 General] ken52787:
I've tried this, and now the slider is enabled for Facebook chat and it says I've signed in, yet it says that no one is online. I've done the syncing thing and all that nonsense. I've rebooted my phone. Nothing is working :(
[Windows Phone 7 General] Omega Point:
I got 27fps on my Mozart although I saw it hit 29 for a moment, that was over 3G.
[Windows Phone 7 General] killerkhatiby009:
Tried the facebook chat fix and now the button is enabled but nobody shows up online, tried going offline and then online again but still doesnt work. Hopefully another beta is released fixing some of these issues so we dont have to wait all the way until the final release! Also anyway to bypass the side load limit anymore? Its a bummer to only be able to load a few apps at once
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
Hmm.. Gotta reboot my device and test again then. Thanks for the information. :)

[Edit]

Just for reference. Desktop or mobile view? And it's http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/Performance/SpeedReading/default.html right? Or is there a WP7 optimized SpeedReading test that I have missed somehow?
[Windows Phone 7 General] mikeeam:
Guys, if you're having trouble with Facebook chat try this:

In your PC:

- Log in into your hotmail account, the main windows live account used in your WP.

- Connect with your Facebook account and make sure that the option "Chat with your Facebook friends~" is enabled.

- Wait until your Facebook friends appears on your Messenger. Using the WLM on your Windows will work too.

- When you see your friends at WLM, go to your phone.

At your phone:

- Disable Facebook Chat at "Messasing" (if enabled.. if not, nevermind this step).

- Go to "email+accounts", press and hold your Facebook account and synchronise it. Wait until it's done.

- Reboot your phone.

- Synchronise the Facebook account again.

- Turn on Facebook Chat option.

Now you should be able to see your friends online at Message app.

And yes, it worked for me, exactly like this. This doesnt mean it will work for everyone, but it's a shot!
[Windows Phone 7 General] Omega Point:
Desktop view but using the mobile site here: http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/mobile/
[Windows Phone 7 General] ken52787:
No luck for me :-/ Thanks for the suggestion tho
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
Aaaahhhh! That's an explanation, lol. Just tried it and got 16 fps. Gotta mention that I'm currently syncing my device so that should be okay. Thanks for clarification, mate. :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] mikeeam:
Someone knows how to deploy a XAP file?!

I can't deploy homebrews. Default theme color is killing me!
[Windows Phone 7 General] stolid:
Okay this is what worked for me

In WLM goto Tools>Options>Contacts

Select Organize contacts by Categories then

Sort By status and check Show offline contacts in a separate category.

After your facebook contacts show up in WLM goto your phone goto Settings>Email+Accounts and sync both your live and facebook accounts.

See if that helps.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sayonical:
You can pin photo albums to the start screen.

Select some favorte photos and the pictures hub live tile will cycle through them. nice.

When naming playlists on the desktop get creative, it now recognizes many of the special characters like skull/bones etc from windows character map. Pin it to the start screen :)

install xbox live extras beta to edit your avatar etc

uninstall shazam. Bing audio works!

dont buy im+ messenger/facebook chat works beautifully. (skype soon please!)
[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
If I'm correct, you needed to create custom colors before updating to mango as you wont be able to use those theme color registry altering apps.

Also updating to mango relocks your phone, so just go and register it again with the dev tools to be able to deploy.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Casey_boy:
To get Facebook chat working, I had to change my Facebook account language to English US (in addition to linking my Facebook account to my Live account)

Dunno if that'll work for you guys too.
[Windows Phone 7 General] arkavat:
Artist images are missing for the SmartDJ lists. Even if the lists were made on Zune Client (w/ Zune Pass) The artist images are not showing up. They only show up for dongs you have downloaded to your collection. This was not the case in NoDo.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mikeeam:
Thanks. Just needed to register again!

Mine is Portuguese and is working. Maybe that's why you made some change and updated your Facebook account?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Knochen1981:
Youre doing the wrong test xD

Go to the mobile testdrive. Lesser resolution more frames.

Desktop version with 5fps is absolutely amazing compared to the old hardware wp7 has.

Edit: anyone else noticed that transparent wallpapers no longer work. they geht scrambled:(
[Windows Phone 7 General] arkavat:
The option to hide facebook contacts not in the phone contacts seems to be miising from people hub
[Windows Phone 7 General] stolid:
In the people hub scroll to recent, tap the three dots on the right hand side corner, goto settings, goto filter contact list. Uncheck facebook.

???

Profit!

Edit: You can also access filter contact list in the settings app>Applications>People.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
Is the podcast search that should be part of the marketplace now missing or am I blind? I also miss local scout. oO I can search for a term an then swipe to the local pivot, but I was to understand that I can have local suggestions for what to do or where to go or something like that.
[Windows Phone 7 General] prjkthack:
Depending on your location, Podcasts and Local Scout may not be available in your area at all.

For me, I simply hit search, Bing comes up, and there is a button at the bottom to go into Local Scout. There is also an option to get to Local Scout within the Maps app.

And for Podcasts, its an option in the Marketplace. If I do a marketplace search, I can filter it to show me podcasts.

If none of these options are visible to you, its possible that is not available in your area.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tiny17:
This worked to make it so I can enable FB chat, but there still is an issue preventing my online friends from showing up. I don't think it is an issue on the phone end though. If I go to my messenger on computer, even though it now has all my facebook friends populating the news feed and what not, it doesn't show any of them in the chat bar to the right.

Any tips?

Thanks!

Screen cap of vital area:
[Windows Phone 7 General] prjkthack:
Mine is doing the same thing. Facebook Chat is enabled, and I can see status updates in Messenger on my PC, but no contacts. I think it takes time for Facebook Chat to really take effect in Windows Live Messenger. I've read some people had to wait a day before they saw their contacts in Messenger show up.

I've already contacted Microsoft on this and am awaiting a response.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
Damn, I was so much looking forward to downloading podcasts via marketplace. -.- Thanks for clarification though. :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] lil_dipo@yahoo.com:
I had the same issue but i got my contacts to show by turning facebook chat off in the settings and changing the online status to off, then go to settings:emails+accounts and re-sync facebook(long press).restarted my phone and turned facebook chat back on and changed the status back to online and about a minute later my contacts appeared. Give it a try hope it works.
[Windows Phone 7 General] prjkthack:
Already tried everything that has been suggested here on XDA. Unfortuantely that did not work.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mikeeam:
For me it took about half hour to show up. Still, it just showed up on my phone when it became available at WLM.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tiny17:
Same. . . .
[Windows Phone 7 General] notebookgrail:
Do you folks feel the limit of 20 contacts per new group is good enough? Why can't we have unlimited.
[Windows Phone 7 General] stolid:
Having WLM open at the time of syncing might have helped though...but i think now its individual luck i guess.

Did anyone try the solution i posted couple of posts back i had the same problem of contacts not showing up before it.
