I hope we do see the update to my old phone, it is a shame that LG didn't continue the WP support like they did at first, we were promised regular new apps in the LG store in the beginning, and I wish they had made an app to remote control my LG TV (there's one on android). But Smartshare DLNA works well to it.

Still, mine has been a good solid phone, no issue of screen scratches or memory errors here!

But mine will gather dust now for a while as my Lumia 920 is keeping me busy, and it looks like Nokia isn't going anywhere soon :)

Do not trust in LG customer support word

In the past, when I asked LG customer support for WP 7.5 they said "We don't have plans"... A week later, I received the update... ;)
[Optimus 7 General] stomms:
I'm updating it to 7.8 right now:D Just use internet disconnection trick:) Version is: 7.10.8858.136
[Optimus 7 General] Zerfox:
Really?? I tried it already but it didn't work.. Let me try it again! :cyclops:
[Optimus 7 General] stomms:
Done updating! LG E900 updated to WP7.8!!! Nothing really new except small tiles, but thanks for that too!:)
[Optimus 7 General] Zerfox:
Can you give us more info on how you did this?

What kind of Optimus 7 do you have? Unbranded? On what network? Thanks! :D
[Optimus 7 General] minep:
I'm working with update about a hour. Still no update.
[Optimus 7 General] stomms:
I have unbranded sim free LG E900 Optimus 7.

And here is the tip how to get updates if they are not available in your location yet:

Create Local area connection (or Wireless connection) shortcut on desktop- you'll need it later. Swich "Airplane mode" ON in a phone, connect it to PC and start Zune. Push "Update" button in settings, count 3-5 sec and disable internet connection (it is easier to do it with shortcuts on desktop, that's why you need them or you can just unplug the LAN cable) if you disable it too late zune will determinate your location and will tell you "no update available", if too early it will be an error "Can not check for updates right now...", so you need to find this correct time, you have to try several times (4-5 times usually), and when you hit this moment when it finds update, but can not determinate your location, it will say "update is available", after that turn on connection again and push "Update now"- the update will be downloaded to your phone. There were 3 updates intsalled today and the third one was 7.8:)

Good luck!
[Optimus 7 General] kharma45:
Can't seem to force it on my unbranded Optimus 7, just gotta keep trying I guess.
[Optimus 7 General] jhonnyx:
any luck with this? can anyone post a video or something?

[Optimus 7 General] antoro:
The force update method worked for me! I'm using a Telus LG Optimus 7, so it's an e900h. I have to install 2 updates first before 7.8.
[Optimus 7 General] geoponer:
I just plugged in my Optimus 7 to my laptop today and the update to 7.8 came up along with two other updates, without me having to force anything. I have described the process in my blog - I will update it with screenshots of the process later today. Nothing fancy so far, only annoyingly large tiles!
[Optimus 7 General] mnm372:
used the force update method, and after few trials it finally showed up. now it's working fine and developer unlocked using mfg!
[Optimus 7 General] Sig. Gargiulo:
Did you loose the InteropUnlock after the upgrade?
[Optimus 7 General] Fixo:
I got it working too and i like the new UI, finally we get some love! :D

[Optimus 7 General] stomms:
Never used any unlocks on my phone...

I do not even know what is "InteropUnlock".
[Optimus 7 General] Sig. Gargiulo:
Well, I'v just updated my LG-E900 to wp7.8 and the InteropUnlock has been cancel out, but following the official guide you can restore it :)
[Optimus 7 General] kharma45:
For those of you who've been able to update, are you updating from Mango or Tango?
[Optimus 7 General] Zerfox:
From Tango!

Zune finally did let me install 7.8 on my LG Optimus 7 during my final attempt! I'm so happy now! :victory:
[Optimus 7 General] kharma45:
Thanks, I'll keep trying then!
[Optimus 7 General] LMA-Winter:
aaaah! over 15 tries now and it still doesn't let me update! whats your problem zune? let me update! :mad: i tried waiting from 2 to 5 sec it just doesn't let me! what should i do?:crying:
[Optimus 7 General] Zerfox:
2 to 5 seconds didn't work for me either, try higher intervals around 6-10 seconds.
[Optimus 7 General] LMA-Winter:
after 4-5 sec mark it comes up with the up to date message, at 2-3 sec its the cannot update... im really confused
[Optimus 7 General] stomms:
May be it depends from internet speed...
[Optimus 7 General] LMA-Winter:
well my 1mb connection is probably the slowest you can get atm
[Optimus 7 General] stephan213:
I got the 3 updates (ending with 7.8) installed fine using the above mentioned methods of disconnecting while searching for updates. I have an airplane mode on my fn key for F7, so I just used that 3-4 seconds into the search. Worked fine each time.

I have however had problems since the update in taking pictures and viewing my photo albums on my optimus 7. I can take a picture, but the camera app crashes right away. When going to pictures and selecting any album or camera roll, the app crashes.

EDIT: a simple restart of my phone fixed the issue.

DOUBLE EDIT: my phone IS branded to Telus, if anyone was curious about this method only working on unbranded phones or vice versa.
[Optimus 7 General] kharma45:
Same for me, nothing seems to work so I've just got to hope it works normally eventually :\ or use the CAB method.
[Optimus 7 General] LMA-Winter:
hey, do you by any chance have your phones brand number? maybe it would help branding the phone with your brand number...just maybe...

NEVERMIND JUST INSTALLED VIA CAB
[Optimus 7 General] stead:
Brilliant, was hoping my old lg will be updated, honestly didn't think it would be!

phone still in family so it will get updated at some point! :)
[Optimus 7 General] nikshah:
Can't believe that my Vodafone UK branded E900 just updated to 7.8 when connected to Zune even though prior to connecting the software update was not available. Everything is running smoothly.
[Optimus 7 General] Strato77:
Worked like a charm! 4 to 5 secs! Tnx! :laugh:
[Optimus 7 General] Lpedraja2002:
I did it also. It wasn't working until I put it on airplane mode. I got one update with no changes, I guess I have two more to go. It also seems like I have to do the trick for the rest of the updates.

If you do it to soon it will say it can't check for updates, wait a bit 2 secs or 3 and turn off your Wi-fi.

*Edit*

Got the second update after re-trying the trick multiple times. If Zune keeps telling you that your phone is up to date too quickly, disconnect and reconnect your phone and try again. Still nothing new, guess I have one more to go.

*Edit*

Got the third and final update. The first thing you'll notice is the tiles are a lot bigger now, they actually removed the little arrow that was on the right side and used that real space to stretch the tiles so now tey're bigger and it looks nicer, also you can resize them to 3 different sizes!

Things are a bit laggy on the home screen size though, not choppy just that the new response time is slower than Mango but definitely noticeable. This includes tapping the tiles and clicking the home button. Also the color changed in the themes, look a little less vibrant and I lost my Mango color! It's now Orange and the other option is Amber but no Mango :(
[Optimus 7 General] haloss:
No added accent colours

I've update my phone using the Seven-Eighter and it seems I don't have the new accent colours, nor the bing wallpaper option. Anyone knows, what the problem might be?
[Optimus 7 General] djassa1:
Do we loose Internet Sharing option after the 7.8 Update? I am asking that because I installed the Argentina Personnal Carrier ROM to get that and dont want to loose it!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1381885

---------- Post added at 10:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:00 PM ----------

I have an E900H too but with the Personnal Rom to enable Internet sharing... Did you installed that too before Update?
[Optimus 7 General] stomms:
I had Internet sharing since Mango or even before that, and it is still there (never used it though)...
[Optimus 7 General] djassa1:
It's because you have the E900 !? Telus in Canada is selling the E900H with a different radio (UMTS or 3G on the 850mhz band) and no Internet Sharing. The E900H has Internet sharing enabled only with Argentina Personal Carrier ROM.

Anyway, Il will try it tonight and advise!
[Optimus 7 General] djassa1:
Update went smoothly, even if I had to use the disconnect trick. Internet sharing was not removed for the simple reason that when you use an other carrier ROM, it's this one that is get updated, leaving all the functions and features like they were before.

Unlock is removed by the way but seems that you can get it back with MFG.

I hope also that SIP (VOIP) is now available with 7.8 because it's what I am really missing from IOS ou Android!
[Optimus 7 General] minep:
What has 80072FA8 error or just no update found!

On this time I tried a long time update with disconnect trick. But... no updates.

NOW... from

FIRST

time update was found!

Solution:

yeah... first of all good things happen to UK. :D So we will use UK proxy.

Go to Settings - mobile network , then edit apn. In "APN, Username, Password" I typed my provider settings. In "Proxy server/URL" type 109.169.40.229 and in "Proxy port" type 8080. Here Done.

Next step: in computer STILL connected internet, in phone wifi is disconnected.

And last step: in Zune click update. Waiting about ~2 minutes, because proxy is very slow.

Result:

Thanks for UK proxy :laugh:

Well updating my phone to 7.8 has caused my touch screen not to work.

Is there any way of restoring my phone to factory settings without having to use my touch screen?
[Optimus 7 General] djassa1:
Connect to PC and restore with Zune the last firmware before upgrade. It should revive it.

Try after that updatiing again to 7.8...

I recommend downloading supersu from the app store and installing it. If you have appropriate root permissions, it should update the su binary for you. If that fails, please post every step you took and the results as best you can remember them.

2> When I try to install a apk file that I have on my tablet I can only press Cancel. The install button doesn't work. What am i doing wrong?

I now have Su working. Have rooted tablet with permission and busybox is installed properly. Hope you can help again.

ThanKs you Guys

LInda
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funnel71:
Happy to help. I was you just a few weeks ago.

I wouldn't remove system apps just yet. If Asus releases another update, and chances are they will, missing system apps can cause update failures, but if you want to do it, you can get a program like root explorer and remove what you don't want from /system/app folder.

As for your install issue, go to settings - security and make sure unknown sources is checked. If it already is, you might be trying to install an incompatible apk, just a guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] klaxian:
I just received the Android 4.1.1 OTA upgrade for my Verizon Galaxy Nexus. Unfortunately, now the phone will no longer connect to my wifi network. It worked fine on ICS, but not on Jelly Bean. The access point is detected and shows 100% signal strength, but it won't connect even if I explicitly click Connect. I tried removing the network and adding it back. I tried clearing the Google Framework Service cache and rebooting. I tried disabling all security on my network in case it was a WPA supplicant problem. I tried disabling mobile data, enabling Bluetooth, etc. Nothing seems to work. There is no error. It simply won't connect. Any ideas how to solve this? Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
Tried rebooting the router? Sounds funny, but mine (provider supplied) needs a reboot like once every two months.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] klaxian:
Good idea, but I already did reboot the router after disabling all security. What doesn't make sense is why it would work on 4.0.4 but not on 4.1.1.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
Can you try this:

- turn off wifi

- turn on wifi, try to connect to your home Wifi

- get logcat using adb

Perhaps something went wrong with the Wifi driver during the update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] klaxian:
Here's what adb logcat reports:

D/WifiService( 286): setWifiEnabled: true pid=8400, uid=1000

D/SoftapController( 119): Softap fwReload - Ok

D/CommandListener( 119): Setting iface cfg

D/CommandListener( 119): Trying to bring down wlan0

E/WifiHW ( 286): Unable to open connection to supplicant on "wlan0": No such file or directory

I/wpa_supplicant( 8888): rfkill: Cannot open RFKILL control device

D/Tethering( 286): sendTetherStateChangedBroadcast 1, 0, 0

I/wpa_supplicant( 8888): rfkill: Cannot open RFKILL control device

D/CommandListener( 119): Setting iface cfg

D/CommandListener( 119): Trying to bring up p2p0

So now the question is why my device thinks wlan0 doesn't exist? Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] klaxian:
I tried a hard reset and wipe of the phone and that didn't help either. Apparently I'll be swapping the unit out through Verizon. It's frustrating and disappointing that an upgrade would cause such a core function of the device to break beyond repair.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] devil997:
It is not normal, try to reflash. and tries to force the 2.4 GHz band, I heard that many people do not connect with the 5 GHz.

As long as you have a router in 5GHz ...

Otherwise, sorry but I do not know why it happens.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
You could retry flashing ICS factory images back, and then reinstall the OTA to 4.1.1. All things can break, but I'm not sure this is a hardware problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] klaxian:
How exactly would I reflash back to ICS at this point? I agree it's probably not a hardware problem. Something probably got messed up during the upgrade even though it appeared to go smoothly. Doesn't the phone have a recovery partition that I can manually go back to? Or would the JB upgrade overwrite that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] klaxian:
Solved

This has been solved. I had my router set to 802.11n only because all of my wireless devices support wireless-n. Apparently Android 4.1 tries to connect with 802.11g, not n. Once I enabled NG-mixed on my router, it connected normally. This seems strange because the published specs of the Galaxy Nexus do state that it supports 802.11a/b/g/n and it always used to work with N-only on 4.0 but Jelly Bean seems to connect with wireless-g. I wonder if that was done to conserve power? In any case, I wasn't aware of such a change and the fact that it won't connect to an N-only network seems like a regression to me. Thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] barryov:
Same problem

Hi. Sorry to bother you but i have the same problem, im no tecki, so i have no idea to do what you have done above, but it sounds the same problem. Any chance you could run me through how to do this, in very plain English if poss.

Also if i do this will it effect my other devices, laptop, printer that are already working on this wifi as i have it set up now?

Funny, I noticed this behavior just the other day. I had been installing some themes and such, so I thought it may have something to do with that. It also seemed to happen just after I removed the device as a USB device from my laptop (I'm running ViperXL 3.2.8 with the elemental kernel to allow USB mass storage).

GSM Arena is reporting this is being

developed based on the DROID Incredible X (pictured below)

The device is said to be running Android 4.1.2 — which includes bug fixes, Project Butter improvements, additional lock screen functionality and other tweaks — and is said to be equipped with a 5-inch 1080p full HD display and a quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro processor. The company’s first phablet will also feature “a super slim design” and a large 2,500 mAh battery, 4G LTE connectivity, up to 64GB of internal storage and a 12-megapixel rear camera.

Based on this Verizon variant

[DNA]: 1080p (1794 x 1080) quad-core Snapdragon S4 processor, 4G LTE, Sense 5 and HTC Scribe active pen support (to compete w/Note II) but will come w/only 16gb & no microSD card slot or removable battery
