Yeah this pretty much seems like clean up. Everything works smoother, more properly, with nicer animations, and just great performance all around (not that performance was an issue to begin with).

I dont think Twitter can be linked with contacts, I haven't seen it at all. It looks as if it may be because of the way that Twitter is integrated with Windows Live, and not the phone itself (like Facebook is).
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
Twin Blades still won't work in 7712. :/ And like mentioned before I have no idea how to link twitter accounts to contacts, since they do not show up in the peoples hub. Even though I specifically changed the contacts settings to do so and let it synchronize afterwards. Well, it's still not RTM, so there's hope. ;) Btw, am I the only on who liked the old boot up screen better than the new ugly squared red one?

Omnia 7, TMN Portugal, connected to Zune and a new update was available (7712). Zune 4.8.2098.0
[Windows Phone 7 General] ryotgz:
Phone wont connect to MS Live or Twitter right now. Co-worker having issues with Facebook and MS Live. But Twitter is fine for him.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Abb4d0n:
Jailbreak/sideload limit removal still available after update?
[Windows Phone 7 General] adiliyo:
does it normally sit at the "determine the amount of disk space required" screen for a long time (over 5 mins)?
[Windows Phone 7 General] seanlindo06:
Yeah it doesn't look like Twitter is integrated the way we thought it could be. Huge disappointment for me.
[Windows Phone 7 General] prjkthack:
I love the new square logo. It much better fits Windows Phone than the circle. XD
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
No, it's not. I had the same thing when trying to update on my PC where my device has a guest state in Zune. I aborted and started over again. Worked flawlessly then.

I'm cool with the new shape. But red? Could at least have been orange to match the mango. ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] adiliyo:
hmmm, mine isn't a guest relationship.

i guess i'll reboot the phone and PC and try again after lunch
[Windows Phone 7 General] pjlsantos:
Jailbreak yes, sideload... can't tell, I only have 2 apps sideloaded.
[Windows Phone 7 General] DavidinCT:
That is the question of the day....

I'll try it and roll back if it does effect it... I have about 10 custom apps installed and now I can't live with out them...

[Windows Phone 7 General] jmerrey:
hmmm, anyone notice that the "restore" option isn't in the new zune client?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Abb4d0n:
Just tried to update to the new version, but after the last reboot, I received this error code: 80180048 Update not successful...

Retrying to update now...

Update failed again... Any opinions about this? Phone is Samsung Omnia 7
[Windows Phone 7 General] singularity0821:
You should find it under Settings/Phone/Update.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ninjy:
Installed without problem on Omnia 7 Mango B2. :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] jmerrey:
yes that is where it was in the old zune client, but it's not there in the just released client, at least not in mine
[Windows Phone 7 General] NoWorthWhile:
Just installed (Mozart, Belgium), and appart from the Twitter integration (and LinkedIn, but I don't use it, so I can't judge), there doesn't seem to be any sizeable difference with the first beta :)

For those wondering: Upgrade from beta 2 to 7712, just plug your phone. No data will be erased.

Can anybody confirm that if I update ill still be able to sideload apps.. And be unlocked....
[Windows Phone 7 General] DavidinCT:
Installing now, I should know in about 20 min or so...

Edit: I still am unlocked, It did not ask me to remove any apps but, I can't deploy any or run any 3rd party app that I had installed (No more TouchXphorer or RemoverSideloadLimit.xap)

Dam, always the good with the bad...No more deploying apps, unless anyone else ?
[Windows Phone 7 General] shinygerbil:
When your phone is locked and you press a button to wake it up...it now shows your text (date/time/calendar) a split-second after it shows your background image.

At least I think that's new, I've never noticed it before.

Also, yada yada, Twitter integration, new animations etc. :p

Oh and IE9 seems the same to me....I still really dislike that I have to press the 3 dots every time I want to do anything other than manually enter a URL. (I don't manually enter URLs very often; thats what Favourites were invented for.)
[Windows Phone 7 General] oswald-josh:
I agree with you .. It was better the old ie.. Where the tabs bottom was on the bottom also.. So I hope they put it back on the final release
[Windows Phone 7 General] singularity0821:
Oh I still have the old version of Zune 4.8 - the new one wasn't there when I checked Connect, I just updated when the phone when Zune told me.
[Windows Phone 7 General] fb401:
Welp, went through with the current files and the update did come through, but my Quantum STILL does not boot up correctly and gets stuck in the infinite reboot on Step 8.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jmerrey:
well, maybe it's just me, but my backup is gone, probably why I don't have a "restore" option.

I uninstalled the zune client, installed the new one, and then updated

no, i never backed up my backup as we were instructed to do a thousand time

oh well
[Windows Phone 7 General] breus:
is it just my impression or apps load faster? i have a HUGE conversation on KIK with my gf and now it seems that it opens in less time than before
[Windows Phone 7 General] Doctorfrolov:
Yeah! Just updated... Unlock works!!!! ClustClear method...
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tim.Smith:
Yeah definitely faster.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Eimer78:
Yeahhh, Mango B2 => 7712 in ~15 minutes. Omnia7 unbranded + unlocked.

[Windows Phone 7 General] mikeeam:
What changes? Updating right now!
[Windows Phone 7 General] rhn:
Lost my unlock :/ Phone was loading sideloaded apps after the update, but ie crashed while browsing and had to pull out the battery for a reset(long pressing power didnt do anything). All my sideloaded apps are showing revoked :(:( had unlocked using provxml
[Windows Phone 7 General] prjkthack:
Well, now that i've tested it a bit, I'm gonna go ahead and rollback to NoDo, grab the HTC Update for my HD7, and then upgrade to the latest mango and start clean. Should be good.
[Windows Phone 7 General] oswald-josh:
did you tried to unlock with chevron again... I had the same issue after I updated to mango beta 2.. ..

but I haven't update to 7712.. For the same reason I don't wanna loose my sideloaded apps
[Windows Phone 7 General] DavidinCT:
Same boat here...Not revoked but, can no longer sideload (over limit message). I was fine loading on Beta 2....
[Windows Phone 7 General] roddaz:
Updated fine with the first beta Zune client and after update remained unlocked via chevron with a HD7 on O2 UK.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mikeeam:
The fast app switch is better now. It's not slow and shows a lot better when you select the app you want.

Noticed?
[Windows Phone 7 General] prjkthack:
Yeah, its much smoother, faster, the snapshots don't look so compressed anymore, and they transition much more nicely.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jessenic:
Updated, had to reunlock though but everything seems good!

Has anyone figured out how to receive notifications for twitter?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Eimer78:
Updated with Zune 4.8 (first???). After update: Sideloaded apps revoked by ms.

After reloaded "unlock.xml" in gprs settings (omnia 7 mango-unlock). Apps loading with Mango B2 are also loading with 7712.

A lot of changes everywhere and more speed (lower debug. more optimized code?)

My major features (SL in IE, Html5) are missing.

Waiting for Mango-rtm, deus ex 3 and bd.

(and Samsung galaxy s2 with wp7[.5]) ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] singularity0821:
You are right after updating Zune, the backup is gone, and therefore the restore option, I guess there was a reason why MS told us to make a few backups :)

Zune is a lot faster now too, great!
[Windows Phone 7 General] rhn:
Yeah,tried to unlock using chevron. Doesn't work, same old cannot connect message comes up :(
[Windows Phone 7 General] rhn:
I'm guessing it has something to do with the htc-provxml we tried to deploy in that increase sound thread?
[Windows Phone 7 General] oswald-josh:
ok then try doing the unlocking process again.. i started half way when it happened to me.. to re-unlock i started here --->> in Application Deployment, click on browse, click on Update_Mango_XBMODDeployer.xap and click on open

[Windows Phone 7 General] DavidinCT:
My process I did before was to do the reg for the side limit on 7401, and I got Mango 2 running with unlmited side loading but, lost it up the upgrade.

I was never able to get the sound provml working so, it never happend.

Looks like I will go back to NoDo later and try to upgrade again...thank god for backups of every step (5 backups about 18gb from my phone). I have a custom list of apps(10) that I made and others that I cant live without and I need to update them. I can't right now.

So with out sideloading, it's a problem for me :(

So, has anyone rolled back to NoDo and did the upgrade ? Does it take you to 7401>7712 or do you have to break in the middle ?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Andrmgic:
Google music works in IE 9 now.

That's handy :)

Also, it IS possible to link someone on twitter to your existing contacts.. you just need to tap the @whatever in your tweet or mention and hit the "link" button at the bottom.. then you'll get "Mention on Twitter" on their profile afterwards.
[Windows Phone 7 General] oswald-josh:
said samething to me....but idk what happened and after 5 mins it let me do it...

but i guess is different problem.. am sorry but am out of ideas.... :(...

tried to help ...

what you can do now is go back to the COMPLETE back up of mango beta2.. which you were suppose to do with Windows Phone Backup v1.4
[Windows Phone 7 General] madphone:
Hmm, seems like facebook push notifications aren't working anymore. can someone confirm that?

Browser hasn't changed, has it? browsermark score is still pretty low (22.700)
[Windows Phone 7 General] oswald-josh:
use a back up of mango beta 2 if you did one ..its the easiest way
[Windows Phone 7 General] seanlindo06:
Can you expand on this? I've been trying to do it but can't
[Windows Phone 7 General] badboy70:
Hmm, I can't find exactly where to tap the @.

If I tap it it opens a webpage.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Eimer78:
Sideloding via XAPDeployX is working. (sideload limit NOT tested)

@sensboston: some or many Html5 features are working! can not quantize, just have run a html5 brower comparison. ;)

But nevertheless, IE9 on WP7 rocks!!
[Windows Phone 7 General] Andrmgic:
The easiest way to do it would be to go into settings>applications>people>filter contact list

Check off twitter..

Then it will show any people you are following.. and you can go into that profile card and link to the appropriate contact from there.
[Windows Phone 7 General] shinygerbil:
Well, Google+ mobile version looks much better than it did in the previous Mango beta...but still not perfect. At least the desktop version still works (and the basic mobile version for masochists.)
[Windows Phone 7 General] DavidC1980:
7712 installed fine and Twitter & Linkedin are working a treat. Facebook updates seem to be broken tho. The list hasn't updated since the 7712 flash, but if I check fb any other way I have more recent items in my newsfeed. Anyone else got the same?
[Windows Phone 7 General] madphone:
@shinygerbil: doesn't matter. google will release an app next week.
[Windows Phone 7 General] adiliyo:
gah! now it's hanging at "preparing to install ... 0%"

why is this so frustrating?!?!? :(
[Windows Phone 7 General] seanlindo06:
I can see LinkedIn and Twitter updates in What's New but they aren't showing up in my contact list. I have setup so they should be.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Andrmgic:
By default twitter is filtered out of your contacts list.. you'll need to go enable it in settings for the people hub then they should show up.
[Windows Phone 7 General] morpheuszg:
Strange that they altered some of the colors. Lime and magenta aren't so vibrant anymore, they look now a bit faded which is quite bad. I loved that lime, now it's ugly.
[Windows Phone 7 General] revrak:
i enabled them and they are not showing up, any ideas :confused:
[Windows Phone 7 General] Andrmgic:
Give it some time.

It was a while after I had my twitter account enabled on the device before they showed up. Give it an hour or so.. it took a while for FB chat to be available after linking that through windows live, so I imagine this is a similar issue.

Rest assured that it does work :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Eimer78:
App switching is Tab switching:).Faster than ie-Menu.
[Windows Phone 7 General] shinygerbil:
I can't get my Twitter contacts to show up in the contact list either. Haven't really tried though, maybe I just need to reboot or manually sync contacts, or even just wait.

Another *excellent* thing I've noticed: non-Mango apps with integrated IE, such as Birdsong or news apps like NewsLab, no longer crash when trying to use IE. :D :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] adiliyo:
anyone else stuck at step 5 of 9?

i can't figure out why it's not going forward, it did once, and got to the rebooting step, but the phone didn't reboot and so it failed...now it won't go past step 5
[Windows Phone 7 General] cj_133:
I actually prefer magenta as it is now, the previous ones were slight to vibrant imo, lime certainly seems to have changed but I can't really say whether it's better or worse.

Brown is now slightly darker also, which has made it actually become usable. Pink again looks slightly lighter, could be wrong though as I never used it much.

Red is also altered slightly, overall I like the changes, they are very subtle but seem to work. Why couldn't they add a yellow though?!
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ironjer:
color banding still there on 7712 (HTC HD7) this is really annoying!
[Windows Phone 7 General] adiliyo:
ok, i got past step 5, now the phone is sitting at the "goodbye" screen for a few minutes now and zune is waiting for it to restart... :(
[Windows Phone 7 General] oswald-josh:
what do you mean by color banding?? ..(noob here )
[Windows Phone 7 General] derausgewanderte:
just be patient, mine was sitting there for 5-10minutes before it rebooted and the continued installation
[Windows Phone 7 General] adiliyo:
i forced it into download mode, and it continued, then rebooted itself back into the OS and failed again.

here goes attempt #900, this time i'll just leave it alone the whole time :P

It's that 16bit banding problem, no smooth color gradients.

[Windows Phone 7 General] rkremers:
I'd say just be patient... Mine sat for like 10 minutes at step 8, which is where the phone reboots. It hung at the "Samsung" title screen. I was starting to get a little nervous, but then it finally booted up.
[Windows Phone 7 General] seanlindo06:
I do love that Mango is an accent color. It's a cute touch (I know it's been there). I wonder how MS turned it around. It's almost as if Zune, Xbox, Live, and Windows Phone teams are working apart from the company and have free reign to do great things.
[Windows Phone 7 General] adiliyo:
this time i'm not touching anything :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] rsohne:
+1 Same experience for me.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Stragox:
is there a proper regedit fix for the 16bit color bull****? it is super annoying it definitely kills the beauty of the mango update and wp7 in general.
[Windows Phone 7 General] derausgewanderte:
Update works on LG Quantum!

LG Quantum had the nasty no-boot at the last step of the first mango beta (and therefore started with a "factory" mango with all info lost). Now it's updating without a problem.

Phone was unlocked before update to 7712 and locked after the update. Unlocked again with MFG procedure. Not seeing much of a difference in feel and speed like others stated. I was able to connect to my twitter account without a problem. The windows Logo on boot is bright red? never noticed this....unless it's new

cheers
[Windows Phone 7 General] buffalosolja42:
wow saw this post while at work

now updating to 7712 I probably should have read the 10 pages between to see what it does but oh well as someone said more mango!!
[Windows Phone 7 General] princetrey07:
Idk if anybody else had this issue but just to put it out their, when it's actually installing the update the progress bar will jump increments, not just flow, so don't be alarmed if it doesn't show any change for a few minutes.
[Windows Phone 7 General] adiliyo:
ok, so apparantly patience is a virtue. i left it alone the whole time (i think it took about 15-20mins) and all seems well now.

i need to learn this patience thing. :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] satchef1:
The new build seems slicker and faster somehow. Then again I'm coming from B1, so it probably is!
[Windows Phone 7 General] henry084:
It seemed to have fixed the brightness in HTC machines, this time is usable under level "Low".

However, in language option there are still only 5 (GB/DE/FR/IT/ES) display languages, please advise if it is the same in those other than Trophy. (e.g. HD7, Mozart, E900, Omnia 7, etc.) If yes, I may wait till official mango release, otherwise I think I should change my machine.

Did you go from 7661 or 7392? I still had the same problem going from 7392.

The keyboard is different. They seem to have gotten rid of the copy and paste icon until you actually copy something.
[Windows Phone 7 General] derausgewanderte:
I went from 7661 to 7712, no issues. I wouldn't want to do the no-boot again. Hope you have a backup of your 7661, then just update to 7712. It takes about a total of 20min. Leave it alone and drink a coffee.
[Windows Phone 7 General] derausgewanderte:
LG app store in Czech? interesting

after my update to 7712 the marketplace lists ATT AppCenter and what used to be the LG App store looks like this:

"obchod s aplikacemi" which from Google translated means "trade applications" and is Czech. Bizarre :eek:. Everything under that link is in English

guess I have to edit my reg entries for PortalUrlInt and Prod to get this fixed, hehe
[Windows Phone 7 General] yipcanjo:
Not sure if it's related, actually. I restarted my phone yesterday (I'm on NoDo) and found the same text in the Marketplace where LG App Store used to be. Looks like some other wacky thing, since I've not messed with Mango at all.
[Windows Phone 7 General] derausgewanderte:
thanks for posting before I messed with the registry.

btw. does anybody have a link to the updated Zune 4.8 client (not 4.8.2098.0) but the one that was supposedly included with the 7712 update for Devs.
[Windows Phone 7 General] yipcanjo:
On a related note, the previous posts regarding the Mango Beta 2 have some files that you download, etc.. I'm still on Nodo, but does anyone know if I can jump to the 7712 version using those instructions? I have an MS Connect account, but I've never had an invite for the developer stuff.

Just wondering if that's possible for me. I'm running an LG Optimus 7 with NoDo.
[Windows Phone 7 General] derausgewanderte:
It should still work. Some Devs are probably going back and forth and need the update path via MS server open. At least that's my short view logic....Just make a backup of your NoDo before you start.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Syst3m:
Just noticed this too. Also a bug I had before about entering two spacebar presses to enter a period is fixed - in previous versions, two spaces would enter a "." at the end of a sentence and capitalize the next word, but in B2 it would require me to hit backspace to capitalize the word. Very annoying!

I'm also noticing much improved speeds and animations within IE and in the Pictures hub. I'm on a Samsung Focus 1.3.

Anyone notice radio improvements too? I hadn't thought about it in B2, but my signal is much better than in NoDo and release. Download speeds seem to have a marked improvement for me too.
[Windows Phone 7 General] bluEwrecK:
Just updated, took literally about 7 minutes with no problems at all! Phone stayed unlocked also. ahh soo happy.
[Windows Phone 7 General] fb401:
When 7661 didn't work, I just reverted back to 7392 and let it be. 7712 from here yields the same infinite boot situation.
[Windows Phone 7 General] derausgewanderte:
well that sucks, you would think they fixed this by now. Guess it has to do with LG not getting their act together yet with an updated firmware.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ms79723:
I'm about to leave my house right now so I'll check and see if my speeds have improved as well.
[Windows Phone 7 General] prjkthack:
So just went all the way back to my NoDo backup, installed all the fancy new Zune software and updated SDKs, then updated all the way back up to Mango Refresh. Smooth sailing, everything all good. Mango is better than before.
