Dude, that article was written in July!
[Windows Phone 7 General] hardcoreplur:
Maybe it is only a problem with my device (random reboot). What type of bug are you getting, and see if PlayTo now called SmartShare works, when I launch it, it tell me to update to the latest version (I am on 7720.68), then closes.

Thanks
[Windows Phone 7 General] derausgewanderte:
no issues here either on 7720.68. SmartShare does the same thing on mine, but I believe this will be fixed once new firmware comes from LG with official Mango update. No reboots and everthing is very smooth.
[Windows Phone 7 General] downloaderintruder:
Is build 7.10.7720 the final rtm or is it 7.10.7721?
[Windows Phone 7 General] derausgewanderte:
not heard of 7721 (there is a 7712 though). 7720 is RTM. the build number .68 will change to .500 when carriers/manufacturers release the official Mango with their updated firmware and app packages.
[Windows Phone 7 General] adesonic:
My guess is that if you are on a carrier locked phone there is zero chance of you getting official Mango before October, for many it will run into November/ December even January.

I for one will NEVER BUY A CARRIER LOCKED DEVICE AGAIN. The carriers have no interest in providing updates (be it WPY, Android or even iOS), it brings them nothing.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
To the OP:

I'm using a stock LG Quantum with NoDo, and I have random reboots about... once every 2 months? Once a month? I got the phone in January with launch version, it's been happening since then.

Also, since the last LG update, my keyboard lags when the key press sound is on.
[Windows Phone 7 General] DavidinCT:
Could not agree more. I still do look forward to my carrier's release, to get they 50+ FPS and some battery performance boosts once the carrier and OEM get together to do it right but, I must have the option to do it myself.

As long as my phone can be unlocked, I'm a happy person.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Purple11:
I just got a notification yesterday on my desktop Zune and I have successfully updated it to 4.8 version after that.. So my desktop Zune is now mango enabled.... Just waiting for on my phone now.. :(
[Windows Phone 7 General] adesonic:
See http://wmpoweruser.com/mango-update-coming-from-carriers-in-2-3-weeks/

If O2 manage to pull that off I will eat my HD7!
[Windows Phone 7 General] Theguru1:
so is it worth waiting??? is there any benefits to it?? i'm on o2 can o2 modify it anyway to work any better than the RTM release?

I want to update now...lol...
[Windows Phone 7 General] adesonic:
I doubt o2 will add anything to the rom, but certainly, the official HTC version of the RTM rom (I have an hd7) should include device specific drivers and such like.
[Windows Phone 7 General] edved:
Mushroom management courtesy of Microsoft...again!
[Windows Phone 7 General] Theguru1:
Sorry if this sounds dumb...I thought it is the carriers push the update through zune and notify you of the update...

So with that process HTC can add to that or will that come through as a seperate update?? I have an HD7 as well...
[Windows Phone 7 General] Magpir:
I have singapore hd7 and i seem to recieve updates the same time as US hd7 users.

if i not wrong, my phone is the same as US phone probably because both using the same ecosystem
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
No, carriers are not involved in the delivery of the update in any way. That is all handled by Microsoft. The RTM build of the update was handed off to both carriers and handset makers in July. Once they complete their modifications to the update, they deliver them back to Microsoft. Assuming there are no new problems as a result of those changes, Microsoft then creates a delivery bundle that merges the core update with the OEM mods and carrier mods that apply to your handset, and notifies you via Zune when it is ready.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Theguru1:
Thank you...so all in all it is auctually worth waiting really...because sods law there will be slight mods to the RTM version...then you will have to upgrade again especially & it will be worse if you have Chevron unlocked device
[Windows Phone 7 General] Magpir:
In think the only critical factor in all these is the carrier submission after optimization back to Microsoft.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Purple11:
when will mango come out? when??!
[Windows Phone 7 General] scoob101:
Tuesday. Just after lunch ;-)
[Windows Phone 7 General] adesonic:
nah, I heard Wednesday....during eastenders.....
[Windows Phone 7 General] Extreme boy:
I mailed htc Asia today and they called me back after some hours. According to htc Asia. Mango rom is not available yet for HTC HD7 and they don't have any information regarding dates. I asked them if its releasing in this month then HTC guy replied, "we'll inform you Via phone whenever mango is available."
[Windows Phone 7 General] Magpir:
standard reply isnt it??
[Windows Phone 7 General] vash_h:
I hate all these secrecy on update release dates.. Why keep them a secret?

Sent from my LG Optimus 7
[Windows Phone 7 General] truffle1234:
because if they fix a date and something happens and its delayed, lots of ppl will be *****ing....
[Windows Phone 7 General] Extreme boy:
The guy on phone is acting like a noob. Posting His full answer " We would like to inform you that our goal is to give every customer the best possible experience on every phone. Every HTC phone is a combination of a unique HTC hardware and software experience and a core operating system. We only update our phones if it will provide an overall improved user experience as we balance features, performance and usability. Once ROM will available we'll let you know via phone. Currently Mango upgrade is not available for HTC HD7."
[Windows Phone 7 General] Dr.8820:
If it isn't pushed on the 15th, I'm flashing the beta on the 16th!
[Windows Phone 7 General] DavidinCT:
Why wait ? It's worth it :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] josepmanel:
I'm afraid it won't so... you can go ahead and flash it now. I prefer to put myself in the worst case scenario and think it will be pushed sometime between October and November (I suffered a lot of stress waiting for NoDo!).
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
October or November is far from the worst case scenario. That would be more like February or March of next year (which is very likely for AT&T customers). The dates you mention are actually the best case scenario.

And the big problem is going to be apps. I am seeing apps disappearing from the marketplace on my NoDo phone at an alarming rate. The Samsung Zone is down to 4 NoDo-compatible apps left. By the time AT&T finally gets around to approving the update, there will be very few apps at all left for me to choose from.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sayonical:
I encouraged a few of my friends to switch to Windows Phone. Yes they were disappointed with the lack of ringtones and multitasking etc so to save face I had them stop over my apt off campus and installed the mango beta for them. They now worship the dust I walk on :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] vvelvetelvis:
i believe the missing apps are due to them being mango only. so if you dont have mango you wont see them.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
That's what I just said. People who aren't able to get the official update due to carrier delays won't see any of the apps that get updated to Mango. That is the case right now in the Samsung Zone. There used to be 8 apps, now there are 4.

That is an unacceptable situation for me. And don't say "well, just flash the Mango RTM update" as a solution, because that isn't a solution. That's a hack. I'm talking about the official update channel (where the vast majority of WP7 users are).
[Windows Phone 7 General] vvelvetelvis:
im there with ya. i dont want to flash the rtm. i want the official release. im just worried that att is gonna f it up.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
I'm sure they will, but right now I'm just as angry with Microsoft. Pushing all of the Mango app updates into the marketplace when NO ONE on the official update path can use them, and thereby making the apps inaccessible to those people, was a very stupid move. All it will do is make people more impatient, and cause another NoDo-like backlash.
[Windows Phone 7 General] adesonic:
I am not getting my hopes up for a mango update this side of Christmas. My plan is to buy one of the second generation wp7 devices in October (probably the Titan unless anything better comes along) then sell on my HD7 once the update has been pushed to it, I already have a buyer lined up!
[Windows Phone 7 General] jesuslg123:
Visit official web mango japan: microsoft.com/taiwan/promo/wpmango/
[Windows Phone 7 General] vvelvetelvis:
i will believe it when i see it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ZeBond:
Don't forget about the fact that in a lot of cases the update delivery time will depend on the carriers, who aren't really in a hurry in most cases. So the dates in other countries might not be the dates in the United States.
[Windows Phone 7 General] xDomsx:
I believe that more than 50% of people here have unbranded phones so we don't give a f*ck about carriers. They have no excuse about not telling us release date by now, beside to tell us they're incompetent.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Agree. Last night while cleaning my app list I tried to get apps like T-Mobile Slacker Radio and they are AOL from the marketplace. It's not like there is a decent alternative, either (Last.fm sort of, but it's pretty terrible TBH).

This is the dumbest thing I've ever seen a company do with their eStore. Just cut off every current user that didn't pay $99 for early Mango or hack their phone? Seriously?
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
I think a lot of people will give in to temptation and get new phones that aren't WP7 if they drag it on that long. Really, Mango is the first WP7 update even worth talking about. It'll be a solid year since release then. No other major smartphone OS has stagnated that long in the state WP7 is in right now without a major update, except those that are failures right now (WM, BB, Symbian, WebOS).

If Microsoft thinks it can pull that off and think people will buy, for all intents and purposes, new phones that are barely upgrades even over an HD2 from 2009 just for Mango... They're delusional.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
I agree about this. But if MS had stuck to its guns and controlled the updates like they were suppose to, we all could have Mango sooner rather than later. MS chose to be wimpy about it and caved in to the carriers. The carriers are now in full control of the life or death of WP7. And this puts MS in a bad spot for having to submit to the money-grubbing whims of the various carriers.

If MS doesn't grow a pair a solid steel clankers, I envision WP7 going the way of WebOS.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
So the apps plain just don't show up if they've been updated for Mango? I was under the impression that the marketplace would keep the NoDo version.

Or you wouldn't have Windows Phones at all. Its not like they are in the position to be dictating anything, they make all of the money they need from iOS and Android.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tessut:
In berlin a htc employee sad that mango will come at the end of september for htc devices
[Windows Phone 7 General] boredtoday:
Yes, I thought this was the case too. I wonder what's the problem here.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
It appears that in order to still have the old version show up for NoDo users, the Mango version needs to be submitted as a new app, not an update.
[Windows Phone 7 General] boredtoday:
no, i think the developer would just not be able to push updates to the nodo version anymore, but it will still be there available to anyone who wants it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Magpir:
If u are on mango RTM , u should be able to see mango apps.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
We know this, Magpir. Issue is, most people aren't. The VAST majority aren't. So now, many users cannot get to apps that were there last week or whatever for potentially months because the app has been updated to Mango and won't show up in the market for NoDo devices.

It's embarassing, and it's sort of infuriating.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
Then explain why people with Mango can see the Mango-updated apps (like the Samsung Now app) in the marketplace, but people with NoDo (like me) can't see the NoDo version any more.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Magpir:
because nodo is going to be a thing of the past...

Microsoft mandates this requirement that all apps should be moved to mango speicific, so that people will update to manngo
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
And that means those of us on AT&T will be without these apps till March/Apr. of next year. And those of us on AT&T with Samsung phones will be without them till June/July of 2014.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
You're really, really, failing colosally to see the issue.

You don't make NoDo apps disappear when 95% of your customers are still on NoDo.

It's stupid.

If someone is a Slacker Subscriber, it's just dumb that they'd restore from a backup or reset their phone and find out they can't even access the service they pay for because it was upgraded for Mango compatibility and their phone is still on NoDo.

Don't know why you are trying to make excuses for this terrible user experience and execution on Microsoft's part.
[Windows Phone 7 General] adesonic:
I have this bad feeling that MS will let the carriers drag their feet, most on locked devices will not see mango until feb/march next year. This will generate huge frustration and could well kill the platform with bad press. I will hold my next purchase decision until I see how this all pans out.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
Imagine that... Tomorrow, someone finds a way to power cars with seawater. Then next week gas stations phase out gas pumps and replace them with seawater pumps because gas is going to be a thing of the past, right?

The thing is, only 1000 prototype cars taking seawater actually exist. What is the rest of the world supposed to do? They're unable to buy gas and the new cars aren't on the market yet!

Do you get it now? Today, only hackers and developers are on Mango so this is a really silly move.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Magpir:
think HTC will release it in 2-3 weeks time...

FOr my phone , they did not delay,...
[Windows Phone 7 General] buffalosolja42:
I for one want a modded version of the RTM

Because being a former ATT employee, I can tell you this the wifi tethering will be blocked unless your willing to pay another 30+ for the service. I think that is my only gripe with ATT and the reason I wished Sprint or Tmobile would suit my travel needs. That is also the only reason I ever flashed my previous Windows Mobile devices because the carriers (especially ATT) take to much of the functionality out of the phone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
And you still seem to be blindly (or deliberately) missing the point. THE MANGO UPDATE IS NOT OFFICIALLY OUT YET FOR ANY PHONE. The only people who have Mango today are people who have an App Hub developer license, people who hacked their phones, and a few people in Japan who bought the new Fujitsu phone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
I will add that even if HTC releases the update in 2-3 weeks that will just be for unlocked devices. Carriers could still delay it indefinitely.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
And people that bough Fujitsu phones from retailers in Japan...
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
Are the Fujitsu phones already shipping in Japan? I didn't know that!

But still, I was referring to the update for existing phones.
[Windows Phone 7 General] josepmanel:
Hey guys, the Taiwanese Microsoft page (can't wrtite the link but it's in this thread somewhere!) has just been updated. It seems like Mango has just been released there, anyone who knows Taiwanese and can shed some light on us?
[Windows Phone 7 General] jojoblow4525:
hmmmmm

says its coming out today in that area.hmmmmmm
[Windows Phone 7 General] josepmanel:
No, it's not.

No, it's not... According to @wpcentral, it's a Facebook-related contest to win a Mango Phone... I guess we are just a tiny step closer...:(
[Windows Phone 7 General] vvelvetelvis:
aaaaaarrrrgggggg!!!!!!!!!!!! so many tiny steps. apps are being updated with features i cant use or just go missing from the marketplace and still no mango.
[Windows Phone 7 General] breus:
not so much left to wait ;)

Last time with NoDo, official roms were leaked about 7-10 days before the offical update. hope its the same also this time :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] edved:
More mushroom management!
[Windows Phone 7 General] aquanaut88:
not released yet in Taiwan, promotional event began yesterday to win a mango phone or other wp7 premiums (cups, t-shirts, ...). No word on new handset release dates. Only two handsets released here last November, HD7 and Focus. Pre-Mango OS has no Chinese language input or localization options, so very limited audience for WP7. In local discussion groups, now just beginning to talk about it with mostly positive comments -- people bored with Android and iPhone already...

Cheers
[Windows Phone 7 General] Aphasaic2002:
HTC Mozart is also available in Taiwan. I know cos I have one ;)

I've said on here before; no idea why they even launched, given the lack of chinese OS options and lack of chinese input. Hoping the official HTC updates include Asian language support.
[Windows Phone 7 General] aquanaut88:
Aphasaic2002 is right... only two available handsets are HD7 and Mozart, not Focus... FWIW, Aphasaic2001, you're going to be very happy with Mango... 注音符號 and handwriting input but no hanyu pinyin. Even my wife with an iphone commented on how much better the predictive text works with wp7. She's waiting for a Nokia -- all about fashion you know ;-)

Hi all,

I've just got a Locked AT&T WP7 LG. I've got the SIM unlock code, but the person before me, tried to put so many times a wrong code. Now, the phone doesn't accept the correct unlock code provided by the carrier.

Well I lost my G2 and was given a semi-bricked MyTouch with headphone jack. The phone only boots to fastboot and here are the specs:

Sapphire PVT 32A Ship S-On G

HBOOT-1.33.0013 (SAPP31000)

Fastboot USB is not allowed. I'm having trouble finding a method to allow a recovery flash/root without any other options (especially Recovery/ADB).

I think I've done all the searching a thread reading that I can at this point, hoping someone with some solid knowledge can point me in the correct direction.

Appreciate the link.

Can you correct me if I am wrong, but I should be able to copy this to the root of any SDcard and hboot it to flash? I haven't had success flashing any sappimg.zip files in hboot at the moment...

Downloaded & Installed Hosts. Rebooted. Still have Ads

Do I need to click "Use /data/data/hosts symlink" ?
[EVO 4G General] plainjane:
For apps that don't require an Internet connection but use one for ads (like games, etc) you can use Droidwall to keep them from connecting. I don't personally use Ad-free, so I can't help you with that. I feel like most developers deserve to have their ads visible (and clicked on occasionally).

However, I did read an article a while back about Rovio, the developers of the Angry Birds series. Apparently they make $1 million a month on ads from the Android free version of the original Angry Birds. That's not including the iOS Angry Birds apps, ads from Rio or Seasons or the paid ad-free versions available on Amazon. I think they make enough.
