I'll give those a try. Thanks guys!

---------- Post added at 09:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:33 PM ----------

I've tried the things you guys mentioned to no avail. I think I should attempt a hard reset. I do not understand what the problem is, MMS messages just won't download at all.
[HTC 7 Pro] Aleki:
Any report on stability issues? I had random reboots plague my phone on the last update to 7.5, before the ROM's went 7.8.

I'd love to get back to this ROM, but I cant keep having the phone crash every other day
[HTC 7 Pro] mapaz04:
no issues here

I've been using it since he released it and I haven't experienced any random reboots or issues with the OS. There is a longer hesitation when tapping on the tiles to launch an app from the start screen but that has been reported on all 8858 builds I believe.
[HTC 7 Pro] wizziko:
I'm was user of leadpoizon's ROM on the Touch Pro 2. His ROM was most stable, efficient of any ROM in my three phone history of using Windows Mobile.

I now have an Arrive and just installed his ROM this past Friday and everything is great!. Battery life seems to be much better and the customizable home screen makes a world of a difference!

I too notice the slight hesitation when pressing the tiles on the home screen but it doesn't bother me one bit.
[HTC 7 Pro] hanjamin300:
Can anyone recommend anything else to try and repair my mms? I really would rather not hard reset. Would that even help or do you think it would be a sprint problem?
[HTC 7 Pro] x_orange90_x:
Other than what we suggested, and aside from a reset/reflash, the only other option I can think of is maybe flashing the radio to a newer or older version. I don't know anything about that or how to do it or even if its possible without reflashing the entire rom.. But maybe look into that and see if its an option for you.
[HTC 7 Pro] hanjamin300:
I certainly will, thanks!

Re: |ROM| ~[lead rom]~ | 7.10.8858.136 (7.8) || 12-25-12 | [GOLD_C]

I know someone said update profile, but usually it's the PRL update that fixes the mms issues.
[HTC 7 Pro] hanjamin300:
Good news, I made another attempt to do a PRL update and it would seem my MMS is working again. I hope it will continue to do so. Thanks for all the help.
[HTC 7 Pro] jonny4:
Goodbye my friends, I am off to the Nokia Lumia 920 and LG Optimus G forums. I just hope they unlock the 920 soon. Leadpoizon, thanks for the roms.
[HTC 7 Pro] haramzee:
See you jonny

you've been here a long time...

The hesitation when tapping apps on the start screen is VERY annoying to me, it takes away so much of the silky smooth operation that windows phones were known for
[HTC 7 Pro] leadpoizon:
Yeah, that has been annoying me a little as well. Unfortunately, that seems to be part of the new OS...
[HTC 7 Pro] pdawg17:
So now that official 7.8 is rolling out is it the same as this? Any reason to get the "official" version?
[HTC 7 Pro] remyservices:
Can we confirm the Arrive is even getting the update? Based on various things I'm seeing HTC is leaving WP7 devices behind.

I can't link it but the HTC Twitter account stated "Hi Hal. At this time, HTC does not have plans to deliver a Windows Phone 7.8 upgrade. If that should change, we'll let you know." just 6 hours ago.
[HTC 7 Pro] jonny4:
I bet it will at least allow people to make a true 7.8 release for the Arrive. The current version still doesn't have the Xbox Music app.
[HTC 7 Pro] Nimdock:
I don't think 7.8 is meant to have Xbox Music... It will still have the Zune player instead.
[HTC 7 Pro] haramzee:
I agree with numdoc

I didn't hear that xbox music is coming to 7.8
[HTC 7 Pro] Nimdock:
Microsoft has posted the changelog and it looks purely cosmetic as we expected...

http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/How-to/wp7/basics/update-history

It also seems it is the same build we have been using so I guess no luck with the laggy interface.
[HTC 7 Pro] mapaz04:
New update

@Leadpoizon:

Will you be trying to make a ROM with the "OFFICIAL" release? I am just wondering as I would like to get rid of the lag from the last update. I have seen that 7.8's release seems to not have that lag we are experiencing...

I don't know if the latest will change anything for the Arrive but just wanted to throw it out there and ask. Thanks.
[HTC 7 Pro] leadpoizon:
Funny, I thought the same thing since I started testing the next release... :D
[HTC 7 Pro] jonny4:
"20 additional color themes and new lock screen wallpapers are also included, while the Zune app has been rebranded as Xbox Music."

http://www.tomsguide.com/us/Microsoft-Windows-Phone-7.8-Update,news-16689.html
[HTC 7 Pro] Nimdock:
I don't know where they got their facts from but in the 7.8 build I am using it is clearly still Zune. Leadpoizon may be able to shed some light into it if he is testing the official release.

Even if it is a mere re-branding, that is not the same as the new Xbox Music app. They are different. It is also not listed anywhere in the official changelog I posted which is why I could be wrong.

In fact from what I have been hearing a lot of people wish Zune would have just been re-branded to Xbox Music for WP8 as it appear Zune is the better option when you have a Music Pass.
[HTC 7 Pro] jonny4:
The one Lead is using is a older build, he said that himself to a question I asked a few pages back. The video Windows Phone central of the Nokia Lumia 900 with 7.8 it had what looked like Zune.
[HTC 7 Pro] leadpoizon:
The official build still has Zune for the music app. That article has its facts wrong. I know there was a big hype about 7.8 getting Xbox Music, but the actual build does not have it. The only difference in this "official" release is that it is slightly faster to open apps and is probably a little more stable. Any changes from the current ROM release to this build are all back-end.

The next release will also include Nokia's drivers for Bluetooth sharing, so that those interested can install the xap and get that working. I'm still testing some things, but the release is planned for some time this week. I'm hoping I can get my hands on to a 7 Pro or hopefully Arrive officially 7.8 release, so that any new stuff can be incorporated into the new release.
[HTC 7 Pro] pdawg17:
The Arrive has an official release of 7.8?
[HTC 7 Pro] leadpoizon:
No, it's just hopeful thinking, haha.
[HTC 7 Pro] pdawg17:
Oh darn...I had given up on that a long time ago...I hope your wishful thinking works though LOL
[HTC 7 Pro] jonny4:
Sorry Lead, you are right, I confirmed it with @ZuneSupport on Twitter. I think it is funny because everything I am reading said it was changing. It is also a dumb move on Microsoft's part because there are issue's, I should know been having them since I switched to Windows 8, with Xbox Music devices and Zune Music devices interacting. I get errors when I stream sometimes telling me I have too many devices, even though my device manager says I have 3 active ones. It is caused by the streaming on the Xbox 360 and Windows 8 pc's being used on a Zune Pass. I hadn't switched because I still had the Arrive, until last week, and at one point the Zune files weren't recognized in the Xbox Music app in Windows 8, now they are.

---------- Post added at 06:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:38 PM ----------

I read the 7 Pro was getting an official release though, can't remember where.
[HTC 7 Pro] DAC324:
How about updates via Zune?

Perhaps a stupid question, but can somebody tell me if the official updates via Zune will work with this ROM?

Reason for that question are quite bad experiences with the ROMs made by XBMOD-YUKI. They were lacking some certificates so all updates via Zune failed. That was a real drawback since XBMOD-YUKI quit supporting his ROMs a while ago and thus, no OS or other updates were possible any more :(

Kind regards,

[HTC 7 Pro] probley:
Need some help

I’m a little new here in the Windows Phone forms. I have a Sprint phone HCT Arrive this is not getting the 7.8 update. Can someone point me in correct direction for adding a custom ROM 7.8 to my HTC Arrive?

I need the beginners guide on how to install a custom ROM.

Thanks All.

[HTC 7 Pro] jonny4:
Hey guys, something just popped into my head. I thought Microsoft controlled the rom release so how is it some devices aren't getting 7.8 and some didn't get tango?
[HTC 7 Pro] pdawg17:

Re: |ROM| ~[lead rom]~ | 7.10.8858.136 (7.8) || 12-25-12 | [GOLD_C]

[HTC 7 Pro] mapaz04:
Next Release...

Sorry to be a bother but... Any news on that next release? :confused: I would loooove those speed enhancements. Thanks for everything man.
[HTC 7 Pro] leadpoizon:
Still testing the ROM. I could release now, but I'm trying to get access to an official update, be it a 7 Pro or Arrive( in the future if it ever comes). The improvements aren't significant enough for new ROM if I am going to be releasing another one soon after that. Let me wait a few more days and see if an official update comes my way. I can then incorporate any new driver updates or the like into the release.
[HTC 7 Pro] haramzee:
Lead just want to say thanks for the continued support along with frequent updates/feedback.

Will you be switching to WP8 when Sprint releases one in the summer?

Re: |ROM| ~[lead rom]~ | 7.10.8858.136 (7.8) || 12-25-12 | [GOLD_C]

[HTC 7 Pro] leadpoizon:
I would love to make new ROMs for a WP8 device, but I doubt I'll be jumping on to the new phones right away, because they probably won't be unlocked at the time.

Re: |ROM| ~[lead rom]~ | 7.10.8858.136 (7.8) || 12-25-12 | [GOLD_C]

[HTC 7 Pro] pdawg17:
Ugh no Nokia devices?!
[HTC 7 Pro] Hootyhoo:
Just wondering

Your ROM seems to be flawless and I thank you for that, but I really thought that maybe the volume issue with the HTC Arrive was software and that someone would get to the problem, since you can’t through Diag. Mode. Probably gonna have to dump the phone because of it., but I gotta say this is a really clean ROM and again thanks.
[HTC 7 Pro] jonny4:
Nokia and Sprint have not had a relationship since the late 90's because Nokia fought Sprint every step of the way trying build the 5180 and the 6185. Nokia used to only make their own cellular chips and Sprint wanted everyone to use Qualcom chips. Thus the reason I left Sprint for AT&T and my Nokia Lumia 920.
[HTC 7 Pro] leadpoizon:
Update about the ROM

I've been really busy recently with, well, life... But that doesn't mean that I haven't been working on the ROM when I get a chance. It turns out that the new "official" release is buggier than the RTM ROM. I might need to rework the ROM from the ground up to figure out why there are random hiccups in stability. For those of you who are still using this phone and the ROM, there you have it. I'll update when I get a chance to fix all the instability. For now, the current release is the most stable.
[HTC 7 Pro] mapaz04:
Thanks for the update! Yeah, life does seem to take a lot of time out of ones day... jejeje
[HTC 7 Pro] Nimdock:
Lead, thank you for everything.

Time has come for me to move on and forget about Sprint. Hello Lumia 920. :D

[HTC 7 Pro] leadpoizon:
Sad to see all the people leaving the Arrive, but hey I would do the same if Sprint would offer a better Windows phone or if I could find a better plan on another carrier, haha.

New ROM now up. This final version has a clearly noticeable performance gain.
[HTC 7 Pro] aqualls:
Re: |ROM| ~[lead rom]~ | 7.10.8858.136 (7.8) || 12-25-12 | [GOLD_C]

I had to go back to Android for now. Still have my Arrive for my backup so I'll flash the new one. Sprint is going to have to carry one hell of a good Windows 8 phone and SUPPORT IT to keep me around. Just sold my TP2 finally still running your 6.5/2.1 ROM.
[HTC 7 Pro] haramzee:
Thanks again for this latest update. I'd switch also if it wasn't for the great plan. A few more months and we'll be offered new devices.

Microsoft recently said they'll be releasing another update for 7.8 to fix the live tile issues. Have you heard of those issues?
[HTC 7 Pro] leadpoizon:
I've not only heard, but also experienced it, but only with one app, so I had thought that it was just a bug in the app. The WPCentral app seems to not update it's tile regular.
[HTC 7 Pro] aijalon:
how do i send files with it bluetoothshare?? it wont send
[HTC 7 Pro] haramzee:
It's probably kind of crazy, but I went back to the alpha build for 7.8 from September. Its just so much faster to me and I never experienced issues with stability. Hopefully MS will update 7.8, fixing both live tiles along with the speed.
[HTC 7 Pro] dwellman:
Yes, I heard the same thing from a Sprint CS Rep. . . I was told to NOT expect the 8x. Meh.

Double meh.

Weapons-grade meh.

Anyway, my USB port is knackered. None of the "repair" stores will even look at it since I dropped insurance last month (I dropped because they'd just try to replace it with an Android device, I suppose, and I refuse to use either Android or IOS while there is still an alternative that works "perfectly" with Exchange). My micro-soldering skills non existent. I hope I can maintain a connection just long enough to load this new, final update to WP7. . . if not, I guess. . . back to the Touch Pro or maybe the M610, which was a great phone, really.

[UPDATE] I'm getting a "new" HTC "Arrive" from Asurion this coming sat (03/23) Even without "insurance" Oh yeah.
[HTC 7 Pro] iknowsingh:
As of this morning (and yesterday kinda), Microsoft has resumed rolling out updated versions of 7.8. Yesterday, build 8860 was noted as starting to be rolled out. No sooner than 24 hours later, now a newer build (8862) is starting to surface (no pun intended!) :D

It's been confirmed by Microsoft that this newest build (7.10.8862.144) fixes the live tile issues. The version released yesterday (8860) was noted as fixing the lag a bit when using tiles on the start screen. Perhaps 8862 fixes that further?

It's just something interesting to note... perhaps Lead can get 8862 for us sometime soon when he gets a chance?

It would be greatly appreciated! Just wondering if it's possible! Thanks in advance, Lead! :good:

SOURCE: http://www.wpcentral.com/microsoft-...ndows-phone-78-update-set-fix-live-tile-issue
[HTC 7 Pro] leadpoizon:
I already have the newest version flashed and testing; however, I don't yet see the fix taking effect. At least not in the WPCentral app. Another thing I noted was that the Google account doss not support contact sync and push email... I'll upload it soon for those curious to check it out.
[HTC 7 Pro] jonny4:
Yeah, the google thing is annoying, I have the Nokia Lumia 920 and it no longer has that. You would think since it still works under older WP7 builds that Microsoft could just keep using whatever is in those builds in the newer versions.
[HTC 7 Pro] Hootyhoo:
Time to Rethink this

I stepped up from my TP2 and bounzed between Leads Rom and Sharkies, to the Arrive. Great phone, especially with Leads ROM. That made the phone very usable except, nowhere have I been able to find a successful way to raise the volume for ringtones, text, alarms, and pretty much anything else that I use through a day at work. I really thought I could find something but I am still missing any notification neccessary to do my work. I think, unless anyone has any answers I must go back to my TP2. Thanks anyways for a great ROM. You have taught me alot.
[HTC 7 Pro] haramzee:
Hooty, I have no idea how you can return to the TP2, that was such a torturous device. Good luck to you.

Lead have the performance issues been sorted out on the new update? That remains my primary concern.

Thanks again.
[HTC 7 Pro] leadpoizon:
New ROM up, flash at your own discretion. I barely so much improvement in performance... I also kind of don't like how I lost my Gmail push email capability as well. Other than that, I still see the same live tile issue that was present previously, but others claim it is fixed. Additionally, there is still lag when I tap a tile to open it. I'm really not sure what was actually "fixed" in this build. Never the less, it's up and you're welcome. :p
[HTC 7 Pro] haramzee:
Great, downloading now. Thanks again!
[HTC 7 Pro] Hootyhoo:
Hell the Arrive, to me at least is a great phone. Its the best, as far as performance, that I have ever had, and all of Leads ROMs have far surpassed any expectations that I had about the phone and the OS performance that I had, but if I don't have my ear piece on and I am using a tool, I can't hear the ringer or even the notifications where as with the TP2 I could. That is the only issue I have other than the 160 count SMS. I guess if you have Sprint your out of luck. I can deal with that. So thats where I'm at. Thanks though for the reply.
[HTC 7 Pro] hanjamin300:

[HTC 7 Pro] IM0001:
Just a small request but is there any chance you could talk to the Chef of the Discovery 2.0 ROM to get the HTC clock? That's a nifty tile that looks good on the 8X.

Also is there a way within this ROM or some 3rd party app to support USB Tethering along with WiFi tethering?
[HTC 7 Pro] dwellman:
I've noticed, unfortunately, that MMS is broken for me in the 3.1.2013 release -- well, it WAS working for a few days and then stopped. . Trying the 3.16 now. . . I'll let you know. And my wonky USB port should hold out just this much longer, please, for the love of God. . .
[HTC 7 Pro] dwellman:
Reflashed

I'm not sure what. I didn't mess with the "Network" settings, but I cannot send or receive MMS. Keep hitting that PRL, I guess. Doesn't seem to do anything. On the fourth try. This sucks.
[HTC 7 Pro] leadpoizon:
Where does this ROM reside? I have not been able to find it...

Update the profile, not the PRL. Did you do this? Tap "change profile" to update the profile.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1524008
[HTC 7 Pro] leadpoizon:
Oh, I see. I mentioned this earlier to someone else who asked. That is not the HTC clock, it's actually a custom app. Dynamics is a ROM by Ultrashot and that particular ROM is a port for the HD2. Ultrashot has forbidden others from using that app and others he created in their ROMs.

Then someone get on his ass to make an Arrive rom. GSM devices can go to the birds.

[HTC 7 Pro] amdme127:
Does this ROM have a visual voice mail builtin or is there an app I would need to download?
[HTC 7 Pro] dwellman:
I did, as stated. "On the fourth". Four times. Now five times. Sprint pushed Network Profile change twice. No change. no change at all. Can;t send nor receive MMS. At all. Everything else (SMS, EVDO data, GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth) works.

And before anyone asks, yes WiFi is OFF. I did briefly toggle DDTM to see if I could get better network speeds (nope), so I'll be disabling that.

I was using your 3.1.2013 build fine until March 16. Didn't change anything, except my location (took a day trip to Chattanooga) stopped working. Came back to Nashville, hasn't worked since.

So to reiterate:

1) MMS works as expected (with Lead ROM release date 20130301)

2) March 16, 2013 MMS fails to work as expected

3) Change PRL x2 - No joy

4) Change Network Profile x2 - No joy

5) Reflash ROM - No joy

5a) Reflash with lead ROM release date 20130116

6) Update PRL x5 - No joy

7) Change Network Profile x2 - No joy

8) 2 hours on phone with Sprint - No joy

I am sorry, Sprint has got their lips firmly planted on Google's asshole. They don't care to go away from Android and when they do it is phone's people don't care too much about or phones they can sell to iSheep hand over fist. They aren't even launching the Blackberry z10, just the qwerty one. They Arrive didn't sell well because of it's specs and price, in a time when most of the android phones were huge and had 4g they introduce a phone with keyboard and 3g and kept the price so ungodly high it sold slowly but somehow was their best reviewed phone for the longest, I loved my Arrive and so did my mom. Sprint is just straight stupid and that is why I left them. Nokia has already announced newer Windows Phone 8 devices coming this month and they are supposed to announce more in April or May yet Sprint decides to release phones that will basically be 8 months old by the time they are released. If you ask me it is a message to their customers and I would leave if I were you. Also if you are worried about data usage don't be, I went to a 10Gb plan for 3 phones on AT&T and I haven't gone over 5Gb yet. I bet T-Mobile will be launching some of those new Nokia's to go along with their new LTE network and their plans are cheaper than Sprint now.
