when will Mango update become available for dell venue pro? I have been keep checking for last 10 days, no update.
anybody got the update?
www.wpcentral.com/force-mango-update-early-through-zune-software
it worked. now in zune, it says current software version. 7.10(7720)
it that mango upate? should it say 7.5? what is correct build for mango?
Yes - that's the correct version number for Mango. If you look further up in 'phone information', it will say "Software: Windows Phone 7.5".
I think it's just the way Microsoft does numbering. Windows 7 (desktop) was internally version 6.1
finally got mango.
I don't see any huge change in overall visual style. biggest change I see in first impression is app list now come on alphabetically, messaging listed in thread with different colors.
still looking through the features.

Lol. No they are not going to release 6.1 using the WM update.
They never released an update using the WM update.
Updates are available through the manufacturer of the device (in this case HTC)
They have the possibility to give us an update, but that don't have to do this if they don't want this
Windows Mobile 7 will do updates
WinMo 7 will do real updates via "automatic updates"
I think WinMo6 has it in there as some sort of test. I'm sure they count
the number of times the update.winmo site has been accessed from a device.
You can also be sure they datamine the country, model, device etc..
Nothing wrong there. Would like to see some real updates tho'
Keep clicking the icon maybe they'll release something to keep us quiet.
So this web site is is crowing about new versions of windows live apps, with more (or reinstated) features like photo upload and live messenger... but all the download links lead in a circle (when they don't get caught by the popup blocker).
Does anyone have an actual download of these apps?
http://www.windowsliveformobile.com/en-us/home/default.aspx
If you're referring to what I think you are referring to, I don't they are out yet
No wonder the web site looks like it's half finished. Whoever set it to live should be fired.
And dude. Hi, neighbor.
i think it will show up here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/mobile/wl/download-en-us.mspx
right now they have 10.6.0042.800
but i remember reading somewhete that they will be releasing a new version on thursday, thats tomrrow, so i'm waiting to see what they have instore for the new version. plus the funny thing is in build 6.5 21198 they 10.6.0052.900 so it might be that build they're talking about. the 0052.900 build is not much different from the other builds but i do like the slide left/right functionality though.
Here is the news as it is ..

Version is v10.06.0046.0800
Older than the latest that is around here, v10.06.0050.2700
Anybody want to confirm messenger will indeed install (on Verizon). If not I will keep what I have.
edit: yeah it works sweet! Now if only I can find what changed/fixed from the version I used to have...
Installed on my VZW XV6900.
Will there ever be
A version that actually works and does not come up with the network connection issue ?
seems to work well....actually fixed an issue I had with the stock Touch Pro ROM (the new one) where Messenger didn't work on my phone (it would close immediately after opening).
installed and so far it is working great. no problems at (soft reset after instll). it seems scrolling large emails filled with images have been improved but really not sure about that, maybe its just the speed of the 21198 build. but all in all its great. i wish they had the dinamic backgrounds like they have on the desktop.

Looks good, thanks!
Wait, where is this latest version? I searched for that version number, but nothing is coming up.
Has anyone figured out how to get the photo upload to work? Uploading photos to your live space is advertised as a feature, but I don't see any kind of interface for it.

Perhaps I'm being a penis but can you update the HD2 like a desktop edition of windows i.e. vista / 7 on the flyi.e. over 3G/wifi or are any updates only via Sync?
What is this, I don't even
Windows 6.1 had an update option in the start menu, and that used a data connection/wi-fi - whatever was available. I suppose you could download updates and do it via the usb cable. Anyway, if this option still exists in 6.5, I've not seen it anywhere.
This is probably all moot anyway. I don't think Microsoft bother making updates for windows mobile. That's what xda devs is for
Thanks - I guessed there are very few updates for Winmo just an idea

And where would chefs here on xda get those updates if MS didn't make them? Of course they make updates (called Adaptation Kit Upgrades, referred to as AKU usually), they just don't distribute them to end users. There's a big difference between WM and your desktop system, for major updates on your phone you'll usually have to reflash the whole ROM image. And that ROM image is made by the OEM, not Microsoft, and includes tons of OEM software and drivers. This software can even break with a new update, so pushing OS changes directly could cause lots of problems. So the only safe way to have updates would be from the OEM (HTC in our case). Or we can get them unofficially here.
The Windows Update applet in earlier versions of WM had only minor updates such as daylight time database changes and so on, so I guess it was rarely used by anyone.
Thanks for the Info - I get the drift
How do you install Zune on Windows 8? I've tried but it requires frameworks 3.5. I can't install frame works on Windows 8 because it says 4.0 is already installed. WTF?
Be connected to the net and just install the program. Windows Installer will see you need something and ask, then it will retrieve and install the missing .net frameworks. If it doesn't do this then I think yer stuffed.
I installed Zune and it didn't run very well on Windows 8

Yea I was connected and everything but Widows 8 sucks right now; hope they really fix stuff before it is released.
What you have right now is an Alpha release. The beta release is due beginning of February.
You have to install the complete Zune package, which can be found at http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=27163. The install will take longer, but you will end up with working Zune software on Windows 8 DP.
JBC2005 is correct, I would download the complete installer package and the install should be doable from the legacy desktop interface.
One of the things that I was surpised about with the current version of Zune (4.8.2345) is that it is not as finger-friendly as you would expect the app to be. But it does work.
You're complaining about it sucking right now? It's a developer preview build...it is not expected to even perform like Beta software! Give it a few weeks until the beta drops ...even though don't make any final judgement until it is finalized.
Wait for release of RTM of W8 and zune update will come with ...
Well the now release just came out a few days ago and I will be trying Zune on it. One thing though MS is looking into creating a new music client to work across all of it's platforms including XBOX. I'm not sure what this will mean for Zune.
Zune player works ok with Windows 8, although the Music service in Windows 8 isn't zune anymore, so I don't see the point of using that since whenever I go to Windows 8 Music Marketplace, it doesn't let me stream songs, it however, asks me to either purchase or preview, so this is definitely not zune. If it was, then I should be able to still, stream and download songs since I have zune music pass.
Music and Videos app in Windows 8 is tied in with Xbox interface.
When installing Zune, a pop-up will appear saying to download features needed (.NET 2 and 3.5?)
When plugging in a WP device, it will install without zune, although the app that's supposed to manage the WP device isn't there yet, the drivers are built-in.
The .net framework is there you just need to enable it by going to control panel then add/remove software and then windows features
Hello guys, I recently bought a Samsung Focus on Amazon, works very well, until I notice that I can't update it because it uses a WP7 Version that someone here in XDA get out from the Windows Phone SDK last year. Is the Pre-Mango build for the simulator. Remember? Well this phone had things from Windows Phone 7 (like the boot screen, icons and stuff) and other from Mango (copy-paste, multitasking, Twitter and LinkedIn integration) So, my problem is that I want to change it to the normal carrier OS and then unlocked again if necessary. I am new here as you can see and I do this kind of stuff on Android but this is my first Windows Phone, so I need help please.
The Phone is the Samsung Focus Rev. 1.3 from AT&T
Try the post in my sig and try this from there.
Should work, but takes time.
There are also a few unlocked ROMs that you can flash. Everything done in one step.
