[Q] Samsung Focus Update

Has anyone done the update yet?
I can't seem to find anything that is related to the Focus update (other than the Omnia 7 fiasco)...so I was wondering whether or not I should update when Zune prompts me to...?

They are resuming the rollout.
http://windowsteamblog.com/windows_...-answers-about-our-first-software-update.aspx

Yup,
I did some research after I posted and I found only a few articles so I wasn't absolutely sure.
Eitherway, I did the update and had zero issues.

Are you on ATT?

anyone not getting update notification on either the phone and/or Zune software?
I bought my phone over a week ago from the ATT store here Georgia. never recieved the previous buggy update notification, and still have not recieved the new bugless pre-update. even with it connected to Zune it says my phone is up to date. 7.0 (7004)

I'm on Rogers in Canada.

There is a rumor that ATT is not rolling out the pre-NoDo update. Can anyone confirm this or has anyone updated their windows phone (focus or otherwise) through att?

update?
how is the update scheduled? Per region ? or carrier? What about if my unit is an AT&T Samsung Focus and I am using it on a different carrier, how will I get the update? Will At&T has the ability to block it? even sim card inserted is not At&t? I read that it will be pushed, but I never got any notifications at all.

No update here

AT&T has not approved the first update. Focus owners will need to wait for the No-Do update now which will be released pretty soon anyways.

No update here. Samsung Fucus. Washington DC. Purchased first day available.

It's a rumor, but hopefully it comes true:
http://www.wpcentral.com/ATT-focus-get-pre-nodo-and-nodo-monday

The first minor update was held back intentionally as some users reported it was causing some issue.
It was rolled out again this week, but apparently there are issues again.
http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-20039227-94.html
I just received mine this morning after notification late yesterday. I plugged in the phone to laptop this morning and it seems to be intalling the minor update. I am on FIDO in Canada with Rogers Samsung Focus.
EDIT: OS Version after update reads 7.0.7008.0
The update took about 10 minutes.

What does the up-date fix?

I beleive this update is only for allowing better/faster install of future updates that actually have fixes or features that we are all waiting for (copy/paste) among other things (Internet Explorer 9, Flash).

Have an unlocked focus in Egypt and no update notifications whatsoever.

It was a rumor with no truth to it at all. I don't expect NoDo to be released to the carriers until at least the 15th (the day of the "big" announcement from Microsoft).

No update here either...AT&T
Software version: still: vOS version: 7.0.7004.0
Reviewing that some International carriers are moving it on Samsung as quoted:
"I just updated WP7 here in Singapore.
LG Optimus 7.
OS version: 7.0.7004.0 to 7.0.7008.0
Successful Update. No glitch. Very Smooth.
3/5/2011"

this kind of explains it ?

[Q] Anybody rebranding for AT&T specific update??

Anybody thinking of reverting back, rebranding and getting the AT&T specific updates?? Kicking the idea around myself, Data="ATT-US" was the removed string... Please let is know if anybody goes this route...

I just did. Had to roll back to 7008, didn't have 7004. Hope it still works.

Think of doing the same just wanted to wait for someone to report if there are in fact anything different or was ATT just talking.

I'm curious about that too plus want to see if the Debranding then rebranding causes any issues with getting updates like the ones they are expecting for those who used the nodoupdatertools to get updates sooner then the rest..

well i did not do the chevron way i did the spoof way that was done at first so i do have a backup of my phone.

Not worth the wait (and sooo glad I did the VPN hack update)
Apparently the ATT exclusive *features* they are adding is a WISPr protocol that switches you to login into att wifi hotspots automatically when near one. To save you (and them) data bandwidth.
The other feature is to allow you to sync your contacts with your att address book. Even lamer.
So yes ATT made you wait this long for nothing.
Lesson learned. Always rely on the fans and community for support, not the ones you have a contract with.

lol same here. 1 starbucks and a few McDonalds...not worth it. plus i've been on ATT for 3 yrs now and still grandpa'd into the unlimited data usage plan...so no worries on data

I did revert to 7008 and re-branded my phone. I am not worried about ATT's feature. I more worried about firmware updates. I know Rodger's Focus had firmware updates.
I did have trouble with it at first. This post solved my problems:

Anyone realizing that ATT made us wait for a feature that switches us to their WiFi hotspots...unsecure open WiFi hotspots. Double stack stupid

There are AT&T-specific changes, and there are OEM-specific changes. I can live without the AT&T crap, but if Samsung has firmware or driver update included w/ the AT&T NoDo update, then you guys may be missing out on them...

If there are firmware updates of any importance for Samsung Focus phones I see two ways of getting them;
1. anyone who puchased their phones outside AT&T or any carrier(say on Amazon or retail store) I would think they would get the update through Zune or directly from Samsung seeing their phones are not "Branded" which is no different from our "debranded" phones..
2. Reverting back to 7008, use Samsung Registry Tool, rebranding AT&T and then getting NoDo with anything else AT&T is offering..

I'm curious about this comment -- where can you get an unbranded Samsung Focus because I have yet to find one? Do they have the AT&T logo displayed below the earpiece and does it have the AT&T apps/fluff pre-loaded? If so, then that's not an unbranded phone.

Your right, I didn't realize the unlocked Focus phones being sold outside of AT&T with no contracts still has AT&T label.. Learn something new everyday..*
Guess the revert to 7008, rebrand and update is the only option, not sure what's going to happen to those who used the ChevronNoDoUpdateTool though???

I doubt it, when MS asked Chris Walsh to pull the updater tool I got the feeling from comments by both MS & Mr. Walsh that both were going to look into a solution to correct the problem, let's face there is no way either MS or the Chevron team will let so many out in the cold on a new start up OS, there was something like 25,000 downloads of the tool..

Will people who got NoDo get this update?
I unbranded, updated, then rebranded.

My guess is your phone will be shown as Up To Date, I also imagine you can go into Zune and choose revert back to 7008 then you should be able to reupdate to AT&T's version.. Grant you this is only my opinion.. Going to be a interesting week for those who rebranded or used the Chevron Update Tool, especially with rumors of a upcoming Microsoft Update concerning Certificates..

I unbranded then updated via the VPN method then rebranded back. For some reason Zune isnt giving me the option to revert back so guess I will see what happens when they start rolling out the next updates.

I just connected my phone to Zune and it shows a Samsung update available. I am updating to it now. Looks like it saw I had the NODO then offered the samsung update.

[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!!!

FW Upgrade Rolling Out...

475MB... Isnt MM... Nothing more to be said. But, it looks like it fixes some of the first nags... Looking forward to getting it, still not rolled out to UK STV100-4
The BlackBerry Priv gets its first monthly maintenance patch via a 475 MB OTA update. While this particular update isn’t a Marshmallow overhaul, it does offer a bunch of new changes, improvements, and optimizations.
BlackBerry’s official blog outlines the major changes in the update including:
An improved camera: We’re implemented a number of tweaks that improve the speed of our camera app, and re-tuned it for better low-light image quality.
Better performance: We’ve also tweaked the PRIV’s software to improve overall system performance.
Improved stability: The update further includes a number of adjustments designed to improve device reliability and reduce instances of crashing and freezing.
Enhanced security: Lastly, the release includes December’s security patches – rest easy knowing your device is protected against the latest Android security threats.
The blog also mentions that the update is now available to all BlackBerry Priv units purchased through ShopBlackBerry.com by checking for system updates in the settings menu. Carrier versions’ update will begin rolling out on December 7.
BlackBerry’s official apps will also be updated via the Google Play Store starting December 14 with new camera filters and keyboard tweaks. The Hub & Contacts apps will also be updated to support WhatsApp.
DTEK will also be updated with new ways for your device to notify you of suspicious activity with sensitive information performed by your apps.

Tch, we have an OTA update URL, but there's no way to load it onto the phone.
Guess I have to wait a week.

I got my priv from amazon, and I got the update by mashing the check button over and over.
The main thing I notice is that it runs a LOT cooler now.

Update went well - Only noticeable difference (so far) is that it does not play the screenshot sound when the phone is on mute. Yay!

It appears so, CPW must qualify as a carrier... OR they are restricting the rollout somehow, IMEI lottery?
I am curious, did the CPW phone come with all the american "emergency broadcast" options (like earthquakes and amber alerts) under the same menu as APN settings?
Did it come with the "Demo" mode for showing off the phone on the shelf?
and have you found a way to turn off "lock screen when you put the phone down"?

The units CPW sold came from O2.
So, "from CPW" really means "an unlocked (and branded) O2 phone".

First info I got about this was from giffgaff (which is an O2 MVNO, they should know).
I am not aware that CPW is selling non-O2 Privs, but... I do not have confirmation.
Tell me something, when you reboot, if you look carefully at the screen, do you see an O2 background for a split second before boot terminates? It's just a split second, but it's really full screen and hard to miss if you stare at it. I rebooted a CPW Priv 2 days ago just to check that and there it was.

Actually I think CPW had exclusivity for 2 months and do offer the handset on O2/Voda/iD - so I would not expect them to be carrier-branded at all, CPW branded maybe.
US handsets had bootloader logos for all carriers and simply selected the carriers bootsplash theme I believe.

unlocked-unbranded BB10 devices are picking up the provider logos depending on your SIM.
Think that BBandroid is not different

Nope it isnt any different, powering off your device and powering it back on will show your SIM Provider Logo Splash Screen
O2 does the same, Voda does the same.

I can't send MMS after update. Anyone else. I tried changing APN.

UK Users Thread

Figured it would be nice for all us Brits to have a thread discussing how the U11 is on UK networks.
EE - VoLTE and WIFI Calling work out of the box on unlocked model from Very.co.uk

got mine from Carphone Warehouse on an EE contract and although unlocked it did have WiFI calling enabled, although in theory , this should not be the case as its not EE branded. Not complaining though I do not know how VoLTE works so i don't know how to check it. Might be the case that all unlocked UK CID models can support wifi calling, regardless of carrier branding. So nordic or others might not be able to do that.
Only gripe , and I have created a separate thread for that, is that Galileo support is not enabled on my phone which is strange and kinda stupid.

Ring someone (or 150). If your phone stays on 4g you have VoLTE.

Hi guys,

Hmmmm I probably would. Better everything apart from audio volume from headphones.

The only concern is the durability and smashing if I manage to drop it especially after coming from the HTC 1 0 all metal. I'll see how the Oneplus 5 does as that is also very tempting.

I have a u11 coming from O2 but unlocked. I use it with EE but I can't find a way to have 4g calling and Wi-Fi calling.
Someone could help?

Sounds like it probably has O2 firmware on it which means you're SOL for the time being until S-OFF arrives.
My device is unlocked unbranded stock firmware and 4g VoLTE calling and WiFi calling worked from day one. The phone actually asked if I wished to enable them.
Do you have the option in settings for WiFi calling (4g calling is in phone settings).

I'm on O2. You have to request it through the O2 app. Scroll down to 'Device details' and you will see Wifi and 4G calling. Click on it and it will send a request to O2, takes 24 hours.

That's what I did as my 10 still in contract with Vodafone for a year more but I really wanted an upgraded. Loving the u11 so far it has fixed the issues I had with my 10 like bad wifi/mobile signal problems with Bluetooth to my car system (weird micro cuts every so often)
The first device I got was faulty rebooted/shut down all the time couldn't even get through the setup wizard, got a refund and ordered a new one that is now working great.
Do wish Vodafone would enable WiFi and 4G calling but heck knows when/if that will happen unless you have a business account which I believe have it.
Edit: Seems vodafone does have this option now, can be enabled from your account it seems.

The Oreo update was released today. Currently having trouble updating mine, it downloads the update but then reboots into TWRP recovery then can't go any futher.

You have to return to stock before updating via OTA, with stock firmware, no root etc.
Bootloader can stay unlocked though.

Did you ever get this to work?

I'm happy with the phone apart from 2 issues:
- Still on the November security patch, and considering it's nearly March I don't think this is acceptable. America has December.
- Google Assistant does not work. Voice activation does not work and all the settings are greyed out. Have looked online and cannot find a fix. Have read even a restore won't fix it!
If these issues were addressed then this would be the best phone I've had.

Just to add to this. I have an unlocked / unbranded u11 from CPW UK. O2 sim pay monthly account. I've enabled the option in the app as above but still no toggles etc in my settings menu. I called htc UK just now and they said that a bug in the oreo update has removed this option, it's a known bug and the next update will address it... Seriously? Also no idea when the update will roll out...

Had mine since January after an unplanned upgrade and I'm really glad my HTC 10 got mullered by my friend's kid. Carphone Warehouse piled on extras and I eventually started pushing back to stop the freebies getting out of hand - had to move to EE from Vodafone for some reason I can't remember - not an issue. Rooted while on the wine 2 nights later so as to increase the suspense and the chance of bricking it - I went at it half cut basically and nearly trashed it, which is so much fun.
Can't grumble in Manchester city about signal or service although EE has a website that suggests they are delaying any move into the post 90's era and I'm sure they have a reason we'll one day marvel at when they suddenly replace a web presence so **** it must be deliberate digital art or summat - like Tracey Emin and Banksy making a collaborative statement about Google ruining everything - that is to be replaced by the tech from the movie War Games to make it more modern. At least the customer service is accessible if needed and don't annoy me with 'suggestions' like an app. that tells me things I know already but in a different way which makes it exciting and utterly essential.
The u11 is a top phone and if someone gave me a Samsung I'd curse the fool who did so. There's a list of superior spec's that the recent Samsung phones possess and yet on benchmark tests they mostly squeeze into a slight lead and can't manage to avoid being made by Samsung which means that it has lots of stuff but none of it is connected right and it will eventually make you feel angry because it slowly reveals its nature as a piece of crap with buttons like a phone.
I just wish HTC would explore an alternative to the Android system because Google are getting a bit shifty and I don't like the way they are more powerful than God but get all hissy with developers - they come at you like an all-powerful bastard when they're pissed but always do a great job of being really rubbish at maintaining a standpoint and eventually they go away - still, Stalin was bit annoying and no one would have thought he'd end up killing 10 million people before the War even started but he had the tools and then the bad mood - if Google don't do evil it's only cos they haven't seen the projections from Wall Street that show the profit they can make. If any company can shake Google surely HTC can - Samsung may do so but totally unintentionally and probably due to the distraction caused by phones that set aflame like a crappy transformer that is a phone AND a firework - then neither.
