Totally agree with you, have come to the same conclusion as this.

Now previously this wasn't a problem on lbc rom, and I've been on it from the start, I work from home a couple of daus a week and am constantly on wifi these days so would have noticed if this problem had been there from the start.

fortunately, lbc next release is from A later stock version so I'll wait for that.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erezsegev:
Hi,

I have MT4G unlocked with S-OFF.

When I installed ROM Manager I get a message that it can be proceed to backup my phone, since it's not rooted.

If I have S-OFF, it doesn't mean that my phone in rooted?

When I open my device with power+L Volume I can't see the option that I can NANDORID or ROM Manager in the menu.

Please advice.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
S-OFF means - the bootloader doesn't protect internal memory, and you can actually flash things.

Rooted means - you have root privileges in your OS.

Download Visionary APK, run it and select "temp root". You'll gain temporary root.

If you want to remain on stock OS - select "perm root" afterwards.

If you want to change the ROM anyway - just run ROM manager with temp root, flash the recovery, and go from there.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zxicemanxz:
I apologize in advance and assure you im not trying to hijack your thread but I've tried this several times but can't get the recovery to start up once I reboot I just get the phone icon with the triangle and exclamation point and I've tried every method of rooting that is stickied in this forum!!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danyune:
that means clockwork didn't either:

install at all

or install correctly

in either case, reinstall it.

Redownload ROM Manager if you have to first, then run it and install clockwork manager. If the program works it should list your phone, then hit it and it should say "Successful!"

source: me because it happened to me yesterday when I was flashing 2.3.4 GB rooted. Had to re-do ROM Manager

[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] Uppy:
Is there a way, without flashing a custom ROM to calibrate the touch screen? I remember being able to do it way back on android 1.5.

The calibration is waaaay off and has been since she bought it. you have to press to the right of where you actually want in order to register, so for example if I want to press "A" you need to press between A and S and so forth.

Please help.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] Jordanooo:
I dont think there is any way to do it manually, id suggest taking it back and get it replaced
[Windows Phone 7 General] Vintage144:
Truth be told the recent updates did nothing that I can place my hand on , just what will Mango , obvioulsy Microsoft claims it will be able to do everything , but what is everything , I remember all the cry babies whining about copy/paste , so far Ive used it once , not a big deal there , what else , security updates and firmware? So just what is Mango gonna do ?

My phone is a Focus developer unlocked , its fun to mess with and Ive taken it apart (mechanically/ OMG the warranty is no good, woo hoo!) , all fun and games ,I enjoy playing with the registry and other things , but hell you can do that with just about every phone out there ,what will Mango bring to set us apart?

In other words , What is it that Mango is doing that will make or break the OS? That will make or break Microsoft for the Phone business ( WP7 wont knock Microsoft out though even if it fails)! Microsoft has bought enough patents to keep all the manufacturers in its pockets for years to come !
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
The features Mango brings integrated itself are amazing. The improved messaging, photos, music, people, just everything it does itself will definitely be worth your time. However, the biggest thing Mango does is open the doors for developers with the new apis, allowing numerous apps to be created which weren't able to be made before, from sockets to background services, to self updating live tiles... The BBC app over in the apps section is just a small taste of this.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
Many of the features people expect in a smartphone (and need) weren't there on release, and those are going to be a big part of this platform getting adopted. Mango is bringing pretty much everything 'most' people need (and more), so I would say its pretty big for getting mass consumer adoption.

I'm assuming Tango will bring much needed enterprise additions which will help them move further into the enterprise as well.
[Windows Phone 7 General] JohnMcD348:
Is there any kind of blog or list of features that MS publishes to show what features/items/ road plan they have for the new WP7? I'm new to the whole thing and have a lot to learn about how this new OS works and functions.

I haven't even been with Smartphones for very long either, finally just "upgrading" from my Axim x51v and separate phone just about 1 1/2 years ago. Prior to that, I'd always been really happy with my phone for talking and PDA for working for the past 12 years.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Seed 2.0:
***Nice List Here***
[Windows Phone 7 General] drbuns:
I think the short of it is that Mango is crucial primarily because the update brings major software parity features to Windows Phone currently missing that are present in other major mobile platforms like a form of multitasking, fast app switching, better service integration (Twitter), support for services like Skype, and a much better, more capable browser. On the hardware side it will be the second batch of hardware. While Windows Phone runs very smooth on my Focus, it remains to be seen how well it performs with Mango and future updates.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
Information like that is typically kept close to the chest. We probably won't find out anything about post-Mango updates until early next year. Any earlier and it gives competition a chance to steal ideas.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Seed 2.0:
Well after my first full day with Mango 7712 it's my opinion that Mango will immediately bring WP7 up to the same level as Android and iOS; and past them both in some areas. With the right marketing for the holidays, a proper explosion of devices from Nokia by Q1-Q2 2012, and by the holidays next the mobile market will be a true 3 horse race.

I got my Focus on 11/8/10 at store opening. To this day I have only seen one WP7 device in the wild, at a concert. Not a single friend, family member, or coworker has one. Most of those people have Android devices, except for two Iphone 4's. All of those people love my Focus. My dad can't wait to dump his Iphone for a WP7 device. (Don't worry dad I'm keeping my Focus pretty to trade for your upgrade in Feb :D ) A lot of those people have an upgrade in the following months.

With out Mango

I have at least 8 people excited to upgrade to WP7. Once I show them Mango it will pretty much put 6-8 more WP7 users in the mix no latter then Christmas.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Andrmgic:
I wouldn't worry about the performance of mango.. it runs better than NoDo.

My focus is faster than it has ever been.

Mango is a critical update for this OS. It brings near feature parity and gives developers the APIs they need to make excellent apps with deeper functionality than was previously allowed.

Mango will allow developers to do things with applications that can't be done on other platforms, such as linking to a particular part of an application via a pinned live tile or passing a piece of meta data into an application from the OS (such as passing a movie information card into IMDB or another app that handles movies for more in-depth information or passing a book card from a bing vision search into the Kindle app or similar application)

Microsoft will need to do a better job of marketing these upcoming devices.. almost everyone who plays with my Focus loves it.. and that was before Mango, but they are struggling at retail.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Magpir:
I ebeleive Mango is better than what IOS is rolling out so far.

IOS lack integration, Mango is in some ways better than IOS especially the twitter, facebook apps,, unified messaging, UI and other things as well...
[Windows Phone 7 General] Nudua:
I think Mango is very important for WP7 to really establish itself as ecosystem, Mango is really filling a lot of the basic needs people previously might have dismissed OS because of, while adding tight integration to social networking sites and other much needed features.

Not to mention the miss-conception regarding Windows Mobile and Windows Phone, even phone sites to this day tends to **** up and call it Windows Mobile every other WP7 article, maybe they should have called it something else than Windows like they did with Xbox?

And to be honest, I couldn’t with a clear conscience recommend other people WP7 when I first got it, because of the lack of a localized OS/marketplace, navigation app, copy/paste and multitasking to mention a few things, it just wasn’t up to par with the currently released smartphones. However with Mango, I can clearly say that it’s up to par and even surpassing in some respects.

As for Nokia it’s very much a do or die situation regarding the smartphone world, with their stocks plummeting and the poor success with MeeGo as their smartphone OS. Hopefully they can bring some real marketing out there, especially in Europe where they’re strong and a nostalgic brand; I even know a bunch of people that are still using their Nokia “dumbphones”.

I really hope Microsoft doesn’t shoot itself in the foot this time with the new Mango phones and gets a varied and good enough hardware lineup to compete with the newest Android/iPhone phones. And really gets WP7 devices out in the stores for people to try.

As for the carrier conundrum in especially the US, not having a choice of all the phones you like. E.g. only having the choice of a HTC Trophy on Verizon might have scared away potential customers, even though it’s not a bad device. I really hope this way of carrier monopoly goes away sooner than later.

To end this rather long post, I’d like to say that I would wish for WP7 to have huge success with Mango, because I really like the OS itself and its excellent development tools, as well as their dedication to the developers. WP7 has come a long way in a year and now it’s time to go from very small to smallish/medium at least.
[Windows Phone 7 General] linh1987:
Truth to be told, if you have it developer unlocked (that 100$ unlock, not follow-the-chevron-tutorial-unlocked), and you know how to tweak it. Then I assume you know at least where to read the breaking new features of Mango?

If not then your skill is kind of.. lacking :confused:
[Windows Phone 7 General] boxrick:
Think the sooner Mango is released the more "press" WP7 will get. One thing I have recently noticed is the lack of adverts for WP7 compared to when it first came out.

Perhaps they are waiting for Mango?
[Windows Phone 7 General] colossus_r:
I dont know why ppl even try to answer questions like the ones in opening post....

when its clear that they are not real questions ...

Just a catchy title like "How importand is Mango ?" and nothing more ....

Dont do it guys ...Dont answer and leave those so called questions to the man who has them...
[Windows Phone 7 General] deanwoof:
So from what I gathered, Mango is just getting WP7 up to par with iOS and Android, and the only thing they're really 'adding' is the integrated apps (and to some extent just making the messaging/twitter/live tile updates)?

what is it going to do to make itself stand out? that's what i want to konw
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
It will not be on par with Android.

Anyway they add alot of API's for developers.

And add Skydrive functionality and many enhancements.

What is it going to do to make itself stand out?

I don't really know, besides the design...
[Windows Phone 7 General] blanket:
well, for the average consumer, maybe the word 'WINDOWS' is scaring them away

i've met people, and have friends, who still thinks wp7 is wm

when they ask to play with my phone, they fiddle with it, ask me what os is it, and return me the phone when i mention WINDOWS

seriously, ms can do everything right wrt the os, but when it comes to marketing it to people, i think the damage done to their reputation during the iphone vs wm days is something that they will have to think of how to rectify

it may just be too much
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
Absolutely. I think most of people "run away screaming" hearing Windows.

The damage is done big time. But I still think lack of features in most countries doesn't help it either, like no Marketplace or native letters etc.

So in those unsupported countries WP established itself as... Not that good.

The campaign changing the direction will be very very long. I think it will take years to change things. It's not "hot" in any way...

It's a pity, as an "average" OS for "normal" consumer it may be very cool.
[Windows Phone 7 General] pillsburydoughman:
Think about this for a second. Have Android and iOS improved by leaps and bounds from their initial releases? Not much, when a new phone comes out there is less and less emphasis on the software and more on the hardware. "It's thinner, it's lighter, it's has dual core" etc.

Mango is WP7 playing catchup in the software department (and some minor improvements). It elevates WP7 from an inferior offering to a similar one of the top two contenders. So in that sense, yes it is important.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
It's the silliest thing I wrote. Mate what are you talking about.
[Windows Phone 7 General] efjay:
Its ridiculous this is even being discussed. When WP7 was released, people moaned about missing features. Now WP7 is going to be updated with a lot of those same missing features the update doesnt matter? Guess MS should have just called it a day after they released it and everyone would be satisfied.

Oh, and can this Windows Phone 7 General forum actuallly have any more WP7 haters?
[Windows Phone 7 General] colossus_r:
No...there are more of them ... alot of fanboys arround ..lol
[Windows Phone 7 General] cormasco:
I'm really impressed with WP7. Pre-mango it is a good OS. Post-mango it is excellent and a game changer IMO. The way they integrated facebook/text/twitter etc.. into the contacts is great. No other phone or even facebook itself allows you to make a group and see only their updates(far as I know). I love that I can take a picture and it's instantly uploaded to skydrive. I also like how most apps use the WP7/Zune layout/fonts. I'm a smartphone junkie. I've used iphone3g/4, 2 Androids, few windows mobile, Palm etc.. and this is my favorite OS so far.

Apparently I need 8 posts to include links so you'll have to paste them in your browser.

There's also a lot of legitimate concerns in this thread, it's ok to be a fan of something but, don't be a

blind

fan. If consumers aren't buying the phones and pushing for features to be added, they why would they add anything?

I'm sure most of us in here want WP7 to succeed, but being "very small" in terms of market share is't encouraging and a lot does ride on the success of the new Mango phones/Nokia partnership. Hopefully it pans out in the end like it did with Xbox.
[Windows Phone 7 General] enyaj:
Problem is, it doesn't matter if iOS improves by leaps and bounds or not because when Steve Jobs says they invented something/or they were the first with this or that(Copy & Paste???!!! I had this with my WM2002 since...well the year 2002), people will say how great apple is. Ignorant people that is. Unfortunately there are a lot.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
You are terribly wrong here.

In fact yes in the beginning it looked like that, however iOS was already completely different experience than any other touch UI.

And what is very ironic for me, current WP7 fanboys are claiming the same - WP7 is so great already that complaining is so wrong.

But what made iPhone stay on the market was constant work on improving the OS and design, adding features and making big thing out of it. If you look how many things iOS could do in 2007 and 2011 you'll understand what I mean.

I personally don't like Apple's approach but I have to admit, they work really hard to make it better. And added tons of things to it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ttblondey:
as for me different OS have their own capabilities.Actually it's up to every individual,whether they like or dislike how the OS functions.
[Windows Phone 7 General] derausgewanderte:
no Mango no Tango :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] mplant99:
I'm really hoping that this is addressed in Canada as well.

Regarding the OP, Mango brings far more than social networking integration tweaks to the OS. I've been playing with it for the past week and am still finding new tweaks and functionality. As others have noted, it's a game changer because it makes WP7 broadly comparable to Android and iOS. It also, simply, augments the user experience. I've been on WP7 since November 2010. Even with its original flaws, I preferred it to iOS and Android (I have devices running iOS 4.3.5, Android 2.21, Android 1.6 and Android 3.2). It's even better running the Mango beta (7712). Multitasking, task switching, and international language support are big new features for me, and I am sure will make WP7 more widely "attractive" to prospective adopters.

As an aside, I am still running into salespeople sublty (and sometimes far from subtly) poo-poohing WP7 and steering me toward Android or Apple. I wonder if there are OEM incentives to sell these phones? I know that there are serious sweetners for salespeople to push Samsung tv's where I am...

its already superior to android in many aspects.

-battery life is hell of alot better.

-I dont have to reboot the device

-has a kickass ecosystem that android doesn't have.

-I have full control over what runs in the background and what doesn't

-I dont need an anti virus

-the OS doesn't infringe on patents or is built off stolen code like android is.
