[HTC 7 Pro] andrewkeith5:
Microsoft have said that all current phones will get the update...

...I was tempted too far when it was on offer here for £220 (as opposed to £440!)

Interestingly, no other website apart from ebuyer seems to be putting any discount on the Pro 7 in the UK, so maybe it's got a strange demand pattern...
[HTC 7 Pro] xtr3m3:
^ I noticed it on ebuyer too. I was tempted, but don't have the funds in my bank.

[edit]

I bought it.. :D
[HTC 7 Pro] Prerna:
Thanks, didn't know. Wow, 220£ is even cheaper; is this offer still ongoing?
[HTC 7 Pro] Kerri007:
today, the 7 pro is at 250€ on cdiscount (an important french website); it's far less than other WP7, why?
[HTC 7 Pro] Prerna:
Right, even the Desire Z is at only 269 on the same shop. Maybe because devices with keyboards are niche products. They probably got stocks to get rid of before a new release. Beside, hardly anyone wants WP7.

Now do I buy one or not; this is the question...
[HTC 7 Pro] Budniu:
I have HTC 7 Pro and HTC Desire Z from HTC polish distribution (no branding). HTC 7 Pro is very professionally done in comparison with Desire Z. keyboard slide mechanism is a brilliant and solid, and Desire Z is too loose and underdeveloped. Besides is a two different systems so do not compare, depends on what someone more fit. In Poland HTC 7 Pro is cost about 1500 pln =~ 378 euro and ~334 pounds but HTC Desire Z about 1100 pln = ~ 278 euro and ~ 245 pounds.
[HTC 7 Pro] shinho:
Play.com also have it for £219.99

Very tempted at that price!
[HTC 7 Pro] schwarzlichtkind:
o2 Germany offers it for 241€ quite some time now. If only there was a way to run Android on it...
[HTC 7 Pro] eric12341:
no need to run android on such a great device that has the mango beta out now and the official version within 2 months. wp7 mango is far superior to android and iOS.
[HTC 7 Pro] Jygar:
I am in the UK and know the Sprint Version is getting WP7.5 from the sounds of it, can we be sure that HTC will update the 7 Pro?

I'm replacing my Defy for a 7 Pro
[HTC 7 Pro] andrewkeith5:
Yes- it isn't up to HTC whether it gets an update, Microsoft manage updates for nonbranded devices, and they have already said that all existing devices will be getting a Mango update.
[HTC 7 Pro] DJW6927:
I definitely got tempted - for £220 from Handtec its a steal.

Buying for my father who's nearly 70 - no need for customising/unlocking. And WP7 is a lot easier to use than Andoid. All the complicated stuff we're into here at XDA ain't for everyone!

No need for a car kit either - the daft sod's getting banned for speeding an' all :)
[HTC 7 Pro] DeiMudda:
I got my from o2 DE (240 euro).

Mango Beta 2 is running fine, also with Jailbreak. HSPL is running, so i could debrand from o2 to HTC Europe.
[HTC 7 Pro] Da_maniaC:
So, would anyone have a date in mind for me to be able to install the official mango update for me HTc 7 Pro device? :)

I am loving WP so far, and am very anxious after reading all those positive experiences of people that are already running Mango.

I would like to stay before the point of NoDo however and wait for the the official update (but im just impatient :P).
[HTC 7 Pro] hassanselim0:
When I was in Germany for that last 2-3 months, I went to Media Markt (in Augsburg) to check out the cool stuff there, and that's where I found an amazing discount for the HTC 7 Pro.

It dropped from 449 euros to 249 euros, and the guy told me that the offer will finish very soon, I was curious why the 7 Pro is the only WP7 device that had such a discount, but ignored my fears and purchased it right away :)

Later when I went on a trip to Stuttgart, I went the Media Markt branch over there and found that the price dropped again, it dropped to 229 euros !

I like it so much and I dev unlocked it (legally), the only thing I hate about it is that its keyboard layout is German (Y & Z are switched, and other minor stuff), but I'm getting used to it :)

Oh, and I can't wait to upgrade it to Mango once it's officially available :D
[HTC 7 Pro] vinokirk:
It seems to have gone up again here in the UK, and then most websites are out of stock.
[HTC 7 Pro] jan_willem:
HTC 7 PRO delayed

Just talked to HTC support, and the 7 Pro Mango is not yet ready for release... They tried but failed at installing Mango onto the device.

I'm afraid we need to be more patient than others... Jason?!?! HELP!!! ;-)

Paciencia = Paz y ciencia... Repeat after me...
[HTC 7 Pro] Budniu:
Sorry but WTF ?

I have since yesterday Mango 7720 oficial update by Zune for my HTC 7 Pro unbranded.
[HTC 7 Pro] jan_willem:
Mango 7 Pro

I have an unbranded device too. Since yesterday?! How come support desk tells me they still fail? I connected yesterday, and I called because I didn't see my device on the list. But of course I try now immediately!

Thanks!

[HTC 7 Pro] iEatRappers:
Heard if you do it that way it doesn't install the correct drivers so some functions wont work(Like hardware acceleration).
[HTC 7 Pro] jan_willem:
No dice

Connected, got the Zune update, but that was it. Tried to tincker with the regional settings, US and UK, hoping somehow to fool the system, but nada. Don't really know why I did that... Probably because of initial unsupported Dutch environment I needed to select different region. Oh well, at least I'm not the only one waiting in anticipation. But the fact 7 pro users already run the Mango release killed my worst fear, which is a win in itself already! ;-)
[HTC 7 Pro] Budniu:
I don't know how. Yesterday I plug my HTC 7 Pro to PC and synchronizing by Zune and show me the message about already update. I read that help method from NoDo update:

You have to try.

---------- Post added at 08:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:51 PM ----------

Anyway.

You remember so official Mango for devices first generation NOT SUPPORTED OTHER LANGUAGES. If you want other languages and you have unlock phone (not difference Chevron or developer) my sugestion is do it that: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1216975 You add entry in the registry forever and any future update download with add your language package.
[HTC 7 Pro] jan_willem:
Tonight (it's. 0:30 now in Holland) I finished the forced update and I am now running Mango on my HTC 7 Pro!!

Thanks for the tip!! Went flawlessly!

Microsoft have said that all current phones will get the update？？？
[HTC 7 Pro] mrhankey_ch:
Hey,

Is there any news regarding Mango update for htc 7 pro?

On my side, I can't see the update, and I'm not even able to force it using the zune trick.

Thanks for the information.
[HTC 7 Pro] Prerna:
Hi, Mango has been deployed for all devices long time ago. Just connect your device to a computer with Zune installed and check the update menu within settings.
[HTC 7 Pro] mrhankey_ch:
Hi, thanks for your reply.

I tried to connect it to Zune... I could update to 7.10.8107, but no mango available!
[HTC 7 Pro] lordmago:
This is newest version of Mango...
[HTC 7 Pro] graycorgi:
8107 is newer than Mango.

[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] smp420:
I tried to flash this twice with MikG 1.2, wiped data and dalvik both times, and got repeated touch input force closes. Looks sweet though, thanks for taking the time to port it.
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] notsointeresting:
Ok thanks for reporting sounds like it might have done that ill try to fix it

but i will get to it i am making a 3D rosie supported version right now
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] smp420:
Just tried one more time and was unable to change the keyboard. I look forward to a fix. Oh, and thanks for the super quick reply
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] notsointeresting:

Updated OP with v2.0 for Standard Mikshift

Changelog in OP

Please give feedback
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] strapped365:
What happens if you change out HTC.IME before flashing?
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] strapped365:
Edit it seems that it won't let me change input methods now like if I'm on a blank text box and just long hold it vibrates unless I have text copied then it let's me paste...no problem at all I don't use on-screen kb much just reporting

The things your theme changed in my 3D rosie mod look sweet, i understand its not a full theme and everything isnt themed but the stuff that it did theme looks good i cant wait to see what you cook up next, good job...this is the only theme we have for 3D carousel if im not mistaken
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] notsointeresting:
It doesnt replace HTC IME anymore whatever you have for it will stay the same i kind of silently replaced the 1.0 version of the 3D carousel version 10 min ago to not replace htc ime didnt post it just changed the link so if your having a problem with it redownload new one and wipe and install

and thanks! i will be trying to add more to the rosie soon i just wanted to get a version out there
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] strapped365:
I have had one force close on some kinda profile widget that i dont even use haha and it was on first boot its all smooth sailing now
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] notsointeresting:
yea i had that too i dont even know what the "profile" widget is?

and do you notice that the clocks are missing on the theme for your version?

dont know if it was just a bad flash for me?
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] strapped365:
Yeah but if you go into browse all HTC widgets the clocks and photo grid are in there
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] notsointeresting:
So weird but ok im going to be porting something else tonight
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] Caiaphas:
Maybe I'm missing something or not reading thoroughly, but what one if for MikShifted 1.2 with the carousel home screen? I tried a few and the home screen use stays black.

For 3D carousel versions the link is right above the first screenshot
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] cbettis007:
You should take the htc_ime out of the theme completely... Not only is it a different version, but aamikan tweaked it, so, better left out of this theme for now.. That will fix the htc_ime f/c's... I am the owner of this theme and will be glad to help on the shift port if wanted... Just pm me and i can help!
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] cbettis007:
take the htc_ime and the profile widget out the zip you ported notsointeresting..

double post please delete.
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] smp420:
triple post please delete. No idea what's going on, these were several minutes apart and came from nowhere
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] notsointeresting:
Mikshift 1.3 has added a few things to the status bar from 1.2 . V2 of epicblues was made to work with 1.2 and below. Since the status bar was changed on 1.3 it screws it up I will have something posted for 1.3 soon. I thought my power supply on my desktop went out and waited for a new one to be shipped and it turned out to be my motherboard
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] smp420:
So sorry to hear about your computer, hope it's not down to long. As for the status bar problem, that makes perfect sense. I appreciate the reply.

Yea ill fix the status bar too tho. Really I'm going to release my own themes, along with the requests

[HTC EVO 3D] poweroutlet:
I'm not trying to bash the phone or troll so please don't violate my thread.

I'm looking to get the Evo 3d tomorrow but reading over this forum, one would think this phone has pretty bad quality control. I've heard about tilted screens, dust under the screen, dead pixels, loose buttons, yellow tinted images etc.

Every phone has its issues and there will always be some phones that should have ended up in the reject bin that somehow get shipped out but I'm worried that the Evo 3d may be worse than usual. Does this seem to be the case or are these issues simply being exaggerated on this forum?

Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] jgalan14:
No loose buttons or anything of the nature on my device , so far so good, and yeah they always find something wrong with the phone , you should been last year for the EVO 4G forums were hammer about it last year, just get the device and judge it on your own terms after 3 weeks if you think is no for you just get another device which most likely will have some problems too, I do recomend insurance tho cause you never know what could happen
[HTC EVO 3D] felacio:
No trolling...

Don't judge a phone by its forums. Simple as that. If you do, every phone looks like its riddled without issues. People go to forums looking for answers about issues with the phone. Just get one. If you happen to have one of the issues (check before leaving the store) just hand it back over and ask for another. It really is that easy. That's what I did. I got one without issues first time though. But I went through a standard checklist I have in my head before leaving the store.
[HTC EVO 3D] EricSS619:
Well the tilted screen is nothing, I am a perfectionist, and Im able to get over the slightly and barely noticable tilted screen. In fact I didnt notice till people complained about it. the loose 2d 3d button is also no biggie. Yellow tinted screen? I dont think you would realize you had it unless its next to a blue tinted screen in which case you may prefer the blue over the yellow, but alone it make no difference.
[HTC EVO 3D] mcmikecruz1:
Unfortunately alot of is true I replaced one for stuck green pixels and this ones screen has a slight tilt , a tiny missing spec of paint bye the menu button and light bleed at the bottom . Lots of folks here would return it for just one of these issues but I can live with it not a big Deal unless your putting it under the microscope .

I say inspect it well before you leave the store and if nothing jumps out at you don't look for it
[HTC EVO 3D] Bigjim1488:
This same issue keeps me from buying one. I am off contract and would like to buy one off of eBay because they run for about 350 NIB there but I am afraid to get a bad one.

But also granted as some posters said the og evo also had problems during release as well. Maybe it's best to wait until they get through the first gen releases
[HTC EVO 3D] pstevep:
it is no worse than any other phone that i have been a part of.. there are always bad eggs in a batch, you just pray you dont get one.. when the hero came out forever ago, it had the dust under the screen issues, i know people that had all kinds of issues with the orig evo.. the problem in the 3d forum is you are getting a lot of very vocal people, all coming from multiple devices.. and there is a lot of ignorace floating around too.. as well as people are looking for things not to like since we dont have permenant root yet..

i personally have no issues with the phone, i know several other people who have it as well, and they have no issues.. i wouldnt worry about it, if you get one with an issue, take it back..
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
+1 this.

I'm on my 2nd completely perfect E3D. I went through a bunch trying to find one with a good radio and couldn't. They all suck...but not as bad as the Samsung radios...trust me. It is likely that it is mostly cosmetic in nature anyway.

...and those other ones I had them open up and turn on? All perfect in all of the ways that are typically mentioned as fubar on this forum. The only thing I noticed was vary levels of screen-tilt. Nothing major. I'm anal about stuff like that, but, I didn't even find any of them distracting...though I did make it a point to take one without any.

That's how forums are. When I went looking for a new truck I looked around, 95% of the people there are people who just had **** luck...the other 99.5% of the people who purchased these trucks had none of those problems. But, when you get something and it performs as expected you don't tell everyone about it--but when something is screwed up you tell everybody.

Same for my current apartment. I read on all the rental sites and you would think this place was a vermin infested ghetto that had piss-smell in the hallways, ceilings caving in, holes in walls and daily knife fights in the parking lot....even though it they are actually the luxury apartments with every amenity...I have not once seen "garbage in all the halls all the time" that was mentioned, nor have I ever once "smelled them smoking drugs" in the stairwells. The dumpsters are never "over flowing with trash" and not only is the parking lot not "full constantly i have to park a mile away from my house" as stated by many people, there is in fact 4-5 times more parking than tenants....

When I ran a computer repair shop it seemed obvious that compaq couldn't make a computer that ran to save their goddamned life...cuz I only saw the broken ones.

Complainers complain because they got something that doesn't work how they thought it would/is supposed to. You can't blame them for being upset and loud...but the vast majority all got something that does exactly what it is supposed to (for the most part) so has no need to go on and on about it.
[HTC EVO 3D] mcmikecruz1:
Ide do craigslist not ebay ide have to see it my friend at radio shack let me inspect 2 the first time and three the next they all had (dust ?) Under the screen . So I've got the best of five and have the issues mentioned above
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
All valid concerns. I don't think the phone has bad quality control, just some really minor stuff that perfectionists (xda-ists) notice. When you go to the store, ask them to take it out of the box and tell them you want to inspect the screen BEFORE it is activated. Don't let them tell you they can't power it up without activating it. That's not true. If you see it first, you can judge for yourself.

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] mcmikecruz1:
Here's a tip launch the camera app on 3d and cover the lens to make the screen black . The first one slipped bye because the Green specs where only visible on 3d weird I know . Didn't notice till I watched the stupid green lantern movie
[HTC EVO 3D] poweroutlet:
Thanks for the responses.

I plan to ask the sprint store to let me inspect the phone before activating. I should be able to check for dead pixels easily along with loose buttons. To be honest I can't even notice the tilted screen from the pictures posted here and I certainly didn't notice it on the evo 3d on display at the sprint store. I hope I get a good unit.
[HTC EVO 3D] jasmithers:
An awesome phone

I guess I'm lucky -- hardware-wise, my 3D seems perfect.

Firmware-wise, I could give you a list of (mostly minor) areas where IMHO the 3D is a step backward from the EVO 4G. However, I acquired my 4G only in January of this year, by which time HTC and Sprint must have ironed out most or all of the issues. With a few more OTA updates the 3D should be unstoppable.

For me, the speed of the new CPU and Sense 3.0 are reason enough to get the 3D. When you go to test the phone, check out the new weather app, for example -- sweet!
[HTC EVO 3D] poweroutlet:
Yeah, I'm not too terribly worried about software issues. For that we have HTC which will probably address most issues with OTAs and also the great community here to offer further support.
[HTC EVO 3D] theinternot:
I am on my second... First one was perfection except 3g reception was non-existent. This one has much better reception, but all the hard buttons are mushy and non responsive and the ****ing 2D/3D button rattles like a banshee. None of these were issues in first one. Looks like I am gonna chance a third try tomorrow.
[HTC EVO 3D] DualSportDad:
Quality control on these phones is aweful. I've been through 3 in 4 days. I would have had my 4th today but I'm sick of returning phones. First phone took green pics. 2nd one took blotchy pics and the cameras were not even close to being centered properly and my 3rd and current one is having problems with the screen becoming unresponsive.

I was the first person in my town to own a EVO 4g and that phone was awesome from day one.
[HTC EVO 3D] Uchennadi:
I agree with what most of you guys have said. To add to that tho, I think with anything tech related, the people with problems are only a small minority, and because they do have problems they're gonna be the loudest, and that's all you'll ever hear esp. on a site like this. It's like eating out at a restaurant. I'm betting money that 9 times out of 10 you're more likely to go out of your way to write a novel online abt a restaurant you got horrible service from, than you are to even think abt reviewing the restaurant at all if you got average service. So I would say that you see more complaint threads because the majority of us with good EVO's don't start threads abt how average our EVO's are. Although if people do have legit problems, by all means they should be allowed to let the world know. It just sucks when their problems come from them being OCD, then it really is like a bad apple spoiling the barrel or however that saying goes.
[HTC EVO 3D] brownhornet:
Simply put if you get it you'd better check it out before you even leave the store. HTC's QC on this phone was absolutely terrible. How they managed to miss the tons of phones with tilted screens is beyond me.

[HTC EVO 3D] eman3316@optonline.net:
It seems like everyone at XDA has something in common. We are all OCD and we will find something wrong with almost everything.

To a normal person, not one issue here would have any effect on them or would they even know what we were talking about.
[HTC EVO 3D] brownhornet:
I think the many returns for green pics, tilted screens, low reception and slow data would prove you to be wrong in your assessment.
