fantastic to see dell users getting the update...
now if only there was a way to unlock em...

Strange. I went to see if I could tether and I was able to install the USB modem drivers but I can't get it to dial. Interesting though since beta didn't even give me the option to install those...hell it wouldnt even charge in composite mode.
If anyone gets theirs to dial, tell me.

Microsoft provided info on the timing of the phased rollout:
http://windowsteamblog.com/windows_...27/windows-phone-7-5-mango-update-begins.aspx
Basically 10% this week, 25% next. If all goes well everyone should have it within the next 4 weeks.

update done
no difference on system itself.

just updated my unlocked DVP using the article from WP7Central
"Force Mango update early through Zune software and avoid frostbite"
P.S. Sorry, i can't post the url because the restrictions

Currently down but here is the URL http://www.wpcentral.com/force-mango-update-early-through-zune-software
It seems the old “disconnect the internet“ trick from the NoDo days also works for forcing Zune to deliver the Mango update to your phone.
The step by step instructions are:
Connect your Windows Phone to a PC and launch the Zune software
Click on Settings/Update. Allow the software to tell you whether an update is available. If so, skip this guide. If not continue to the next step.
Click the check for update button again, and this time immediately disconnect your computer from the internet. Do this by pulling the Ethernet cable, disabling Wi-Fi, etc.
Wait 30 seconds or so and you should receive a notification that an update is available.
Now reconnect to the internet and continue with the update process through the Zune software.
Seems simple enough. Let us know if it works for you.

Did anyone actually get a notification on their phone or just after connecting to Zune? Dont think there was one for Nodo either but want to confirm.

OTA Update offered 1.31.707.3 - any good?

Upon checking for updates, this popped up: 3.55 MB, no release notes, just 'improvement to e-mail application'.
Did anyone try already?
My current build is unbranded HTC Legend 1.31.707.2 purchased in Singapore.
In Italy the latest is 1.31.405.4
No update is possible for now....
Also just the 1.31.405.4 here in Belgium

Sent with my HTC Legend using XDA Tapatalk App
I installed it meanwhile (too curious), but can't find for the heck of it, what has changed. I use both, the gmail and standard e-mail application for POP3 mail. Everything seems to work like before.
The new version number is shown as was an 'update successful' message.
Hm. Why can't they simply publish some changelog or more detailed release notes? ;-/

Where and when did you buy it? I wonder if that means, that HTC sends outdated updates, or just different regions have different version numbers.
I also noticed, that the 1.31.707.3. update is mentioned on their support website for SE Asia (www.htc.com/sea/support.aspx), while there is nothing about any updates if you chose India as your country. I asked via the support form for a changelog, let's see if and what they come up with.

Wonder why it's not available for me though
In Italy is now available the 1.31.405.5
but is not clear the changes
Just updated to 1.31.405.5 couldn't find any noticeable difference except that gmail auto syncs again.
Other guys talking about an HTC program adjustment, messaging etc but I have not noticed a real improvement
In Spain was available today OTA the 1.31.405.5 and, no, no clear difference at the moment.
My impression is that Legend changes from UMTS to WIFI a bit faster and establish UTMS connection a bit faster than before (I use Juice Defender, so it stablish UTMS connection every time I turn on screen) But, maybe is only my impression.
I checked that the problem of signal strength is still present (signal strength is lower when you hold the Legend in one hand compared with signal strength if you put it on a table-not in your hands- measured in Settings/About the phone/Network, signal strength) So seems to be no imprevements in radio.
Finland as well. Update available. couldn't find any difference or improvement.

You cannot fix a hardware design flaw with a software update
The Legend's GSM antenna is inside the battery cover, just where you normally hold the phone.
I have a problem, I have canceled the update message
and now it dont show me the update message.

Network Pull -> Quick Mango

Pull the network right after checking for updates - if you get it right, you'll receive the update immediately and won't have to wait for the staged roll-out to reach you.
It was the same with NoDo.
How much time did you wait before u pulled off the network ?

Update Version # 7.0.7403.0
It then updates to 7.10.7720.68
The below link should help too
http://www.wpcentral.com/force-mango-update-early-through-zune-software
This worked for me on my phone branded to T-Mobile UK just finishing installing the secound update now. Heres what i did
Debrand the hand set
Check for updates
Block out going connections with my firewall
Rebrand the hand set
Update
7.0.7403.0 is installed no problems. nearly finished installing 7.10.7720.68 has taken me nearly a hour.
Any tips on how to do the internet pull thingy?
It doesn't seem to work for me...
Every time I do the pull i get a message that there's a connection problem and when i reconnect i get a message that my phone is up to date...
I've got Zune running on a laptop with a wi-fi enable/disable key so following the instructions on wpcentral I selected Update, waited for it to say 'Your phone is up to date' then selected the item above (Linking), then selected Update again and immediately disabled wi-fi to kill networking and this worked a treat, now running Mango
Unfortuneately, I had hoped Mango might help with my Omnia's random rebooting/boot failure problem, but it doesn't seem to have made any difference :-(
Does seem to boot a lot quicker though (when it decides it wants to boot!!)

I'm sharing my experience with Mango update...
Omnia 7 ex T-Mobile but now unbranded
from NoDo 7392
Initially, I didn't get any update message when connecting with Zune and trigering Search update from Zune Settings -> Phone -> Update.
I tried the disconnection thingy about 10 times without success. At that point, on my phone, I had disabled WiFi and Data Connection, but I was connected to the carrier network. I disconnected Internet on the pc after 3-4 seconds. I tried multiple times altering that timeframe to no avail. Some say that u have to disconnect quickly less than 3 seconds, almost after searching for update.
My next guess was to go to Airplane mode on my handset, and after the first try - voila - I got prompted that there is an update, 7.0.7403.0, clicked OK, connected Internet back on the PC and continued with the installation. I can't be sure if getting the phone to Airplane mode did the trick or I got the disconnection timing right, but you don't lose anything trying this.
The update failed shortly after, because of low disk space on the PC (required for the backup). Estimate about 10 free GB's of free disk space on the hdd that you have installed Zune.
I freed some space connected again the phone to Zune and I got the prompt again without trying any disconnection work-around. Proceed to installation. Update to 7043 was successful and was prompted automatically to a new update, the long awaited 7.10.7720.68 Mango. After some steps, I can't recall at what step, I got a message that the update was not successful due to low disk space on the handset this time. I had about 320 MB's free before the update. Any worries for 'brickage', did not arise at all as I booted with the 7403 o/s, which was operatable 100%. At that point fw / radio / bootloader had NOT been updated.
Freed about 250 MB's of phone settings, bringing free space to 570 MB's, and that did the job. I connected to Zune, got prompted for Mango, completed update. Funny thing, that after the Mango update, free space was not lower than 570 MB's, but close to 800 MB's
So, summing up, get your phone to Airplane mode (may or may not help), ~ 8 GB's free on the PC, ~600 MB's free on the phone, and do not worry, very bad luck is required to brick your phone.
I didn't get of a 3rd update, as some have reported, the OEM update, but my firmware / radio / bootloader all have been updated to:
fw: 2424.11.8.5
radio: 2424.11.7.2
bootloader: 5.8.1.9
So, I assume, for those updating from NoDo, the OEM update is included in the Mango update.
Now running Mango, the ui is faster than NoDo, unbelievable. All apps keep on working, except for sideloaded homebrew apps that use native code and most patched OEM apps of other OEM's (but not all of them), all other apps, sideloaded or downloaded from Marketplace, homebrew or not, continue to work. All games still work, I could not spot any performance difference from removing the 30 fps cap.
In the Samsung section of the MarketPlace, or after searching for Samsung Electronics Co.,Ltd., I spotted a lot of new apps, some known, some never heard of. The apps not existent for NoDo are: AllShare (DLNA client), high fidelity position (GPS settings, adding GLONASS support), Mobile Print (I am not sure, maybe existent on NoDo), FunShot, MiniDiary, RSS Times, advanced text messages, Video Call (video calling through your operator 3G, chargeable)
A strange thing is I haven't received any pushed notification from the Marketplace to update any app. I have updated a couple manually without need of uninstall/re-install but not automatic notification whatsoever.
If you get a message saying when attempting to run an app, something like ''Microsoft has invoked the use of this app'', it means that (if you have a Developer unlocked phone) your phone has been locked; you have to repeat the Unlocking proccess with the Windows Phone Developer Registration option of Windows Phone SDK 7.1 tools. However, the maximum apps limit has been as well lowered to 10 apps (or 3 if a student dev), so I can't sideload any app (so no homebrew to assign max apps / or registry editor). Any ideas (other than hardressting and installing assign max apps, or uninstalling apps till u reach below 10 apps)
Tried the same thing multiple times now, no dice. Same as above posts, errors out when disconnected and says updated when connected.
The unbranded UK ROM shouldn't be an issue, should it?
Update: I finally got it to update, using the steps described. It was probably some weirdness with my desktop, which is probably why it only worked on my laptop. The delay needed seems to be about two seconds.

I had to enable updates via 3g network in the phone to get the update message in zune or I always get same errors as you, hope it helps
I would like to remind everyone that not all mobile operators ship mango, so just like in NoDo era (especially Omnia 7's from germany, also some other phones in America) you need to registry unbrand your phone. Start by getting WP7 Root Tools and then change the following in the registry:
Under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo] set:
MODeviceName=OMNIA7
MobileOperator=000-88
that should make this trick work if it does'nt work without network pull!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1265321 or any other registry edito, but you will need a developer unlocked device (If you already have mango, which also works, you will need the interop unlock, see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1271963)!

tried the network pull so many times, just checked those keys, MobileOperator was empty, i used a debrander from xda. entered 000-88, restart & network pull worked first time, disabled wifi after about 4 mississippis
I didn't get the OEM update how do i get it?
I've unbranded, turned on 3G updating, turned on flight mode, restarted both laptop and phone, and I've disconnected instantly to five seconds.
I guess I'll just wait for the official thing, perhaps the fact that I'm on the RTM is screwing with it?

Mango is a GO!

Just hooked up my rtm version of mango dvp to my computer and checked for update and it says there is a dell update!
updating now.
Plz tell us how it goes... I have RTM ver as well..do I need to roll back to NoDO before the Mango update???

Hey nutnithin, I'm planning to buy a Dell Venue Pro in India (possibly from Flipkart). After getting one, what are the steps I should take to upgrade to Mango?
What can this error code C101007c be, when I am updating my DVP to 7720?
I found I cannot boot it up when the update is finished, what can it be?
Can anyone tell me what are the update contents? (7403, 7720 and firmware update?)

According to the Microsoft troubleshooting document:
"C1010007 Make sure that you are using the USB cable which was included with your phone.
Try to reconnect your phone to another USB port on your computer. Do not use a USB hub or ports on the front of your computer."
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2484484
Update contains OS update (mango) and firmware update (219).
The latest Zune software said I had an update yesterday. I let it remove the RTM version of 7720, install the "latest", and I hoped I finally had the Dell version on my unlocked, but AT&T version of the DVP.
But when I look under wireless networks, I still can't connect to hidden SSID networks. The option simply isn't there. Does anyone have that functionality after their update?
I should mention that when I ran the update, my sim was still in my Motorola Atrix. I did the update connected to my wireless network on the phone, and with the USB cord attached to my primary PC... an ASUS G73 laptop.
I updated late last night, but finding out this morning that I have no audio. I cannot listen to music, hear ring tones etc. Audio IS turned on. Could this have been a bad update? Should I reset and try again? I fell asleep last night while it was updating so something could have happened during that time.

I also thought of having a faulty cable. The phone turned off by itself when I touched it.
However I remembered that I have flashed the firmware 2.0 on the touch panel some time ago, that may cause the problem. After that I rolled back the update and flashed back the firmware to 1.6, the update was then successful.
Anyway, many thanks.

Same as yours, I have an unbranded EU one.
I think it does not depend on which computer you have connected to during the update.

Hi guys,
I got a new 10.1 yesterday as I had to return the old one due to the Newton rings issue. Anyhow I have rooted the new tab with the latest Overcome ROM and all that went fine. Now I want to transfer my Titanium backup to the tab so that I can restore all my stuff. The thing is Kies does not recognise the tab at all?? I have tried to uninstall it fully and re-install it again but still no joy :-( I'm on Windows 7.
The previous 10.1 that was also running Overcome v1.2.3 connected to Kies without any issues?? This one pops up a little message in the status bar saying "USB Connected\MTP Connected" and there is a USB icon there but that is all that happens?? I have also done a factory reset on the 10.1 in case that was it but Kies still does not pick it up :-(
Any ideas guys??
Cheers,
M

Hi
Make sure the USB debugging is turn off
Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging.
Rgds.
^ this. I run overcome and it works fine with Kies. You might also need to update Kies to a newer version if the above does not work.

Hi guys,
I have tried both those things and on two different machines now and still no joy :-( I am starting to worry about this to be honest...... Could it be the cable? It charges fine and as I said MTP Initialisation comes up then MTP Connected in the status bar but that is as far as it goes?? Luckily I made a backup of the original ROM and have just restored it back but surprise surprise it will not connect either :-( It's the exact same as with Overcome or Bindroid?? Would I have damaged it somehow by rooting it??
I only want to transfer files, why does Windows not just show it as a removable drive? Is there any other program I can use?
Cheers,
M
After trying EVERYTHING to try and get this working and I mean EVERYTHING it still will not connect!! I have just called Samsung and they are to send me software called Kies Logger via e-mail that they claim will fix it.....I doubt it but await it eagerly!
Cheers,
M

Since i guess, we are alot of people who is experinencing, that we're not able to connect it to Kies

I will post no probs or send in a PM when I actually get it....still waiting and when I called them half an hour ago to ask what was the delay he said it could take up to 24hours!! I was like that is ridiculous as it's only a piece of software! I asked him to make it high priority and he said it already was. Up to now I have not been impressed at all by Samsung's technical support!

Thanks buddy..
just for giggles i checked the SW version on the kies i use for my two galaxy phones (which should be the exact same for the tablet)But it has a different SW version then the one found on samsung site for the tablet... The Kies i have installes ends on -152 but the one on the officiel samsung kies site ends on -152_4...

Hi mate,
Samsung still have not sent it too me :-( I rang yesterday to get the call escalated as there are totally messing me around. A friend of mine thinks it's a hardware issue and I think he is right!
Cheers,
M
I rang Samsung last Friday...
they had no idea about the issue, nor the program.. The young lad i got hold of, literally troubleshooted his heart out! i just kept saying "tried it already"
I'm not sure its a hardware issue.. since my Win7 finds the device instantly... and so did my old Kies.. this happened after my update..
Cheers...

you should try this
http://www.simplehelp.net/2011/07/05/how-to-transfer-files-from-your-mac-to-your-android-tablet/
Much easier, just as fast, free, and more reliable than kies. why waste your time?
Thats true.. but your not able to update this way.. You kinda need kies for that. If you dont use Odin and so on

But that ^ only works for a Mac and I am using a Windows machine mate??
Apart from that it should work as specified and if it's faulty which it looks like it is I want it fixed or either get a new one. I'm calling Samsung again this morning if I don't hear from them before 12! So far they have to be THE WORST to deal with on the customer service side of things!!

I would really like to buddy.. But i dont have an older version, then the current one from Samsung.. I tried to google for an older version, but without any luck..
I guess the only thing we can do is to wait for a new Kies update.. I did ask the helpdesk when we could expect an update.. And the answer was of course "no"

Waiting for a Kies update is not good enough for me mate. Mine NEVER connected to my computer from the day I got it. I'm 99.9% sure a new version of Kies will not make any difference, it still will not connect. I will not be happy until this is fixed by Samsung!
I have been promised a call back by a manager over an hour ago and get the feeling that will not happen either. At this stage it seems like the small claims court may be the only way to get this resolved.

Great! Well Samsung FINALLY booked my Tab for it to be sent in for repair! Let's hope they can figure out what is wrong with it.
I flashed a stock image using Odin back onto it before sending back, will they be able to tell it was rooted? I noticed a flash counter on the Odin screen so wonder will that now be +1?? I checked and Clockworkmod Recovery was gone, all that was there was the stock recovery.....

Nexus 6 got new system update?

Some users on Reddit are receiving an almost one gigabyte system update, build n° N8I11F. I don't see it listed, so, anyone knows what's going on?
I didn't receive it.

According to the link to the factory image it is supported for Verizon based Shamu. https://developers.google.com/android/ota#shamu It is available to download and manually flash.
That last update on the google site is not it. The build number is way different. I think it is ota only till they update the site.

does radio img and bootloader been updated
I got the 911 mb update show up today on T-Mobile usa. Haven't installed it, I'm personally waiting for the factory images to be posted first. According to the others it sounds like baseband was updated, not sure what else. Hope we'll get a changelog or something.
I received the update notification yesterday on T-Mobile. Personally I'll wait to get some feedback before updating. The last time 7.1.1 was introduced, it caused some issues.
Project Fi user here. Downloaded and installed the update.
Still version 7.1.1 w/ patch level of 10/5/2017
Baseband is MDM9625_104670.31.05.51R
Kernel is 3.10.40-gc7ebca13933
Build number is N8I11F
Any significant changes is the system/apps?
So weird that a dead device gets an update out of the blue, and a large one at that! I'll be watching this thread and the ota and factory image pages for info as well! So odd...
Still no post on Google Factory Image page? ... Can someone post the .zip for us to download and install.

I posted the update in the oreo rom repo
This update is now officially posted on Google Factory Image site.
It's a bit awkward.. Did anyone find something different?
It was pushed via T-Mobile today at the just under 1G size. Haven't noticed anything different other than new build & baseband.
what is the new with the latest update

Just baseband, and ambient notifications. As far as I know. I thought the radio but no. Maybe modem too.
I got the update OTA, and I don't even have a sim card in my 6 anymore. I just use it as a wifi tablet for viewing movies, etc.
I applied the update and am sorry I did. Having 4 Nexus 6's I was so excited to get it. I have T-Mobile unlimited data and use it for my home internet with the hotspot turned on. Nexus 6 covered the whole house. After the update the hotspot is really poor. It seems worse with my older Thinkpads - t60, x61 tablet. Sometimes I have to turn the hotspot off, wait 30 secs and back on several times an hour. It doesn't seem so bad with my Thinkpad x230 tablet. ( All my computer run some version of Linux mint.)
I set up a cheap TP-Link range extender that is the only box that talks to the hotspot and that seems to minimize the problem. Though it was nice before not having to use it.
I also have a Nexus 5x that is running whatever the latest is, Android 8.1 or 8.2. The hotspot on that seemed poor but mostly in terms of range, and worse on the x60 and t61. No needed to turn the hotspot off and on.
Haven't noticed a difference in making calls.
There may be improved bandwidth though that is just a feeling based on doing as speedtest I was able to download at 35 mbs from the range extender through the the wired connection and that is 10 more than I recall ever seeing.
It may be that the older thinkpads get something out of wack where before they did not. And it gets things out of wack with a difference on the nexus 5x running oreo.
I would like to let Google know this. Any ideas on where to post it or send it?
