[Q] February Telus Update

Hey was just wondering if anyone on the Telus network recieved the update yet?
I am on TELUS with LG Win 7 phone and wanted to make sure they aren't being blocked by my carrier as Microsoft said they might be for some networks. I've checked through Zune and still nothing I know it's only been two days but I'd rather know now if I have to start finding another solution to get updates. If anyone has recieved a notification or knows anything about it let me know thanks

I did not get anything either. I have a feeling a lot of carrier based phones haven't got them yet, and I doubt a lot of them are blocking it.
Edit: I stand corrected according to wmpoweruser It seems like telus hasn't pushed any updates but this can be due to the whole samsung fiasco delaying things.

Any chance you can send me a link to that page would love to see what's going on.

it was an informal poll, just people leaving comments saying they had or hadnt gotten it.
I just spoke with a telus rep who wasn't able to tell me anything more about if/when the update would be available (I was on hold while he contacted "the technical team").
The only piece of information I got (which was assumed ... by me anyways ) was that unlike the old system where Telus paid OEMs to create the updates the wp7 updates are "free" to the carrier.

March 1 and still no update. I think Telus is skipping this one. The Telus rep I called didn't even know Telus carried any Windows phones and thought I meant the iPhone, so you can imagine how long that phone call lasted.

The 7008 update is now available for Telus customers. Here's news for the 7389 update (NoDo);
The earliest date that a TELUS customer can receive the Windows Phone 7 software update is Tuesday March 29th, 2011. Microsoft is releasing the software update in a phased approach and it may take up to four weeks for all TELUS customers to have the option to receive the update and upgrade their device software.
Keep your smartphone running efficiently by using the latest available software.
The release of OS software 7.0.7389.0, provides the following benefits and enhancements for your smartphone.

The one thing I noticed after updating my phone is that it did not do a backup of it. (There was only 9 steps done on the update process) I thought that the pre-nodo update was supposed to make a backup of your phone.

[Q] AT&T or any quantum user... Got the update yet?

I am just wondering if we are all in the same boat. I haven't received the notification, nor will it update if I plug it into zune... Why do I feel like the quantum is the bastard child of the wp7 lineup?

You might want to check this out:
wpcentral.com/get-nodo-now-debranding-your-lg-phone
Be sure to read the comments as there is a correction to the process in there.
I did this to get the patch update (went from build 7004 to 7008), but no NoDo yet.

I've been looking for this info!
I figured there must be a "targeting" string or something in there somewhere.
I bet it gets reset somehow later.

I'm with Bell in Ontario, no NoDo for me.
I'm honestly not really expecting it. Like at all. I've lost pretty much all faith in MS.

I'm with Rogers here in BC, but using an unlocked AT&T branded phone.
No updates (either of them) have shown up, but I suspect it's because AT&T hasn't released them yet.
I think we'll eventually see the 'NoDo' release, but it might take a while as AT&T are notoriously slow in 'testing' new releases of the O/S...
Have to check out that 'unbranding' thread, tho (since I'm already 'unlocked' from AT&T)...

I feel like m$ screwed up by letting carriers doing testing. There is no way m$ could get carriers to release updates on time and together. AT&T has never had a good IT device department. it is like letting a baby be a contractor and expect a house to be built on time.

None of the AT&T US phones are supposed to get NoDo until May or so I think. It's because they're slow "testing".
I can confirm that the unbranding and using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1012189 Method 1 works but is a bit tricky to get the timing right.

I went to wpcentral and followed the instructions for "NoDo update hack released--works for every device, every carrier right now" I now have version 7.0.7390.0. It was pretty easy just follow the instructions.

Got NODO (7390) today on unbranded Quantum
Hi guys... just wanted to let you know that I just got the NoDo update (7390) today through Zune on my 'unbranded' AT&T LG Quantum.
Took about 15 mins.

[Q] Official Mango Update for UK

I have 16GB unbranded and unlocked Omnia but I don't have the official update yet. Has it been released in the UK yet?

I have unbranded locked omnia7 in UK and got the update as soon as Microsoft started rolling it out on Wednesday. I was running the 7720 RTM.
Sent from my OMNIA7 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

Hmmm, wonder di you get it because yours is locked to a network. Dont know how it works when the phone is not locked to any carrier. MAy have to go the zune forced route but would prefer the auto update.

i had a dev unlocked handset tied to Orange and received the RTM update and the samsung update on Wednesday but lost the Orange Marketplace (had it in beta2..)

Seems so far then that it is only carrier operated handsets that are getting the update. HAs anyone with an undranded AND unlocked handset got it yet or am I the only one??

Its definitely not just the carrier operated handsets that get it as im on T-Mobile and they have said on the forums that they wont be releasing the update for a couple of weeks.
They are probably busy taking a **** on the OS so it says T-Mobile everywhere.

Not just that, but making it so everything automatically sets to google, so when you hit the search bar it will load a Google page :/ Google doesn't even work properly on WP7 -.-
I got the update Wednesday too running RTM, and mine is a "3" branded (although has been properly unlocked with a code) Omnia 7 8GB. If you are getting impatient you should just update to 7220 RTM and it 'should' (I am not guaranteeing anything here, I'm just suggesting it because I was on RTM and I received the updates on Wednesday night too) then push the (I think it said 10? Wasn't paying attention cause I was excited to finally be able to use Bing Vision effectively and such) updates to the phone.
The three store and app things were still on my phone while I was on NoDo, but the store itself dissapeared when I went through the unofficial Mango RTM update process - I don't see the Three apps anymore and to me thats a good thing. Although I can't speak for the Tmobile apps the 3 apps were all useless (especially considering I was on a different network) and they were all horribly programmed.
I'd say Mango is well worth losing your network specific apps from what I saw of the "3" apps.

You're sooo right brother. Or maybe to upport their shait add-on apps, which no one gives a crap about. My phone is branded TMO-DE and so far, no any official update yer. The International schedule on the Microsoft again show the SFR in France and T-Mobile - Germany as the only ones not pushing 7720 to Omnia owners - still "in testing". testing my ass, worthless POS TMO..

Official Update finally came through
Guys,
Please to say that I finbally got the official Mango through zune today. Had not had much time to investigate but one thing I can say it is soooo much faster on my Omnia; hoping for other great things....Good to see we can now add custom ringtones but NO alerts!!!! Why?????

still no update for omnia 7? buyed phone from T - Mobile

I lost Orange MarketPlace after updating from RTM too.. but after a few days it returns mysteriously
I think it's to do with the way that the update logic works - different servers id the phone & the carrier (thats why disconnecting the internet at the right moment tricks it into updating the phone even if the carrier isn't ready)

I'd like to buy Samsung Omnia 7, locked T-Mobile. So, has anyone in the UK received Mango update for their Omnia 7 on the T-Mobile network?

I have a T-Mo UK Omnia7 and was running the 2nd Beta of Mango when 7720 was initially released. I got the 7720 update as soon as the first releases happened, so was quite suprised earlier this week when I get another update notification.
I haven't done this latest update yet as I'm running 7720 and am quite happy with it. If I update with this latest notification, will I run the risk of having to roll-back to my NoDo backup first, or is that process now dead and gone?
Does the T-Mo UK version really have internet sharing If so, my iPad is getting a new lease of life!!!

[Q] XT1064 US Version: Still no update (SIM from CANADA)

Alright... before the huge amounts of responses and memes responses, let's make something clear:
This is the US version purchased from amazon.com during a trip to the US.
I have a mobilicity (Canada) SIM in my phone
Still no update
The only thing I imagine is blocking my update is my IP address/GPS location or my carrier sim card.
- Does anybody know how to bypass this check? or fool the phone to think i am in the US? I am not really into rooting this phone or losing the warranty on it.
- Anyone with a US version in Canada who received the OTA? what carrier are you using?
Thanks in advance.

Motorola is releasing the update in batches, so not even all US phones have officially received the update yet. You can update your's immediately by following these steps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/development/lollipop-moto-g-2014-xt1064-t2937361

I do not. 2014 Moto G single SIM US Market GSM model purchased at Best Buy in Denver. No OTA and no update available via the Moto Device Manager software.
EDIT: There are some Moto comments in this thread saying they're still working on L so it seems they pulled the full update: https://forums.motorola.com/posts/6168839e0e?commentId=838808#838808

Same boat here: Moto G XT1064 (USA GSM, Unlocked, Carrier-independent) bought from Amazon in early November, still no Lollipop update for me, also checked OT and via Motorola Device Manager. Apparently Moto has pulled the update to fix some bugs, but they've done a TERRIBLE job of messaging this. They have an "official blog" which trumpets the launch of Lollipop but no mention anywhere, on any of their support pages or their blog, that this update has been shelved to fix some bugs. I'm fine with that, but I need to *know* that's what's happening rather than just sitting around pushing update and wondering why my phone still hasn't gotten the update yet.
Moto needs to better message this stuff so that we don't have to hunt through forums to find answers to our questions. I even contacted Motorola support a few days ago and they didn't mention a word of this, so it almost seems like the left hand doesn't know what the right is doing. Either way, this has been a really disappointing rollout

interesting. I too believe that is OK if they had to pull it... but had i known they had done this I wouldn't have checked every day like a maniac hoping to get the OTA.
what you mean OT and via Motorola Device Manager. I tried using the MDM but it never detected my device. When i plug it in, windows 8.1 detects it as XT1064 and i am able to access the memory card, etc. But MDM did not see the device. I read somewhere that this happens if its not supported.
how did you get MDM to work with your device?
What you mean by OT? did you mean OT"A"?

Any one with april update?

Did anyone get update with april patches...??? T-mobile already issued one which improves battery

I still haven't received the March update. The people at the AT&T Corporate store and AT&T customer service didn't even know there was an update that should have been available until I showed them. And then they just scratched their heads and gave the old can response of, "maybe it's being rolled out in stages?" I then asked, "Who can I talk to to find out when I will receive it?" and either they didn't know or they claimed to know...but people were not allowed to talk to them.
So, I'm guessing this update might come out around this time next year from AT&T.

I KNEW I should have bought a T-mobile device and just unlocked to use on AT&T since that's the carrier my family is on.....and yes, i'm still waiting on the March security update. Maybe i'll get that one in June and the April one in Dec. :/

There is no march patch.. there was an update released on march 18 but it still had february patches...

Regardless, the update changed the Baseband Version from APB5 to APC2. The MYAT&T app clearly shows that it should be available. My phone is still on the APB5 baseband and I can not get the update from any method. I have not received an OTA notification, manually checking for it shows me up to date, and Samsung switch tells me no update is available. So an update was released in March but me (and apparently others) can't get it. The only thing I haven't tried in the Samsung Experience at BestBuy.
This is the reason, I am thinking that (at least some people) probably won't see an update from AT&T like the one Tmobile just got for a long time.

AT&T Sim. Everything checks out with the phone and sim. I've talked to AT&T customer service on the phone and brought the phone into a local AT&T corporate retail store and both times they said the phone and account were fine. They also both claimed to not know about any updates until I showed / told them about it. Then, they just scratched their heads and gave me the old, "well...maybe it's just being rolled out in stages?" But neither could tell me who to contact to confirm if that was the case or not. Basically, they are clueless about their own products.

Nope... when you check for software updates.. the server checks for the sim before it issues the ota.. if we dont have the carrier sim it simply says your phone doesnt have any updates

anyone gone to best buy's samsung experience kiosk yet to check and see if the April update is available there?

I purchased my S7 at BestBuy about 2 weeks ago and the next day came back to Uruguay(South America). Then I saw online the March 18th update which also updated the baseband.
I tried to update it mannually but as it was mentioned it didn't work because the SIM is not from AT&T.
I have an AT&T SIM card that came with the phone but is not activated, do you think that placing that SIM card in the phone and trying the update will work?
Plane mode also?
I'm starting to get desperate on this phone because when I bought it I didn't know about this AT&T stupid policy about the updates.
Thanks.

Im in the same boat as you are.. i dont think we ll get any updates without at&t activated sim to receive the otas..
The only thing we can do is sideload the ota update from people who have already received the update..
But that means people with s7 edge on at&t should share the ota as soon as they download it without updating it... if they update the phone the phone deletes the update..

if you wanna sideload you'll need to unlock the bootloader. as far as I can tell, the galaxy s7 is locked tight!

correct me if i'm wrong, but I always thought ODIN was for flashing full rom images, not updates. At least when I used it was mostly factory default images that Samsung/ATT already released.
