[Q] How do i fix Music Freezing - Surround General

I was part of the mango pre-release test thing-a-ma-hooty (woot first time i have ever typed something like that) anyway the music will freeze at the end of a song, and if i try to pause / goto the next song the entire phone will lock up.

You are missing the HTC update. If your zune software tells you that you are up to date than unfortunately you must do a reset on your phone and then it will catch and upgrade.
If anyone knows how to get that HTC update without having to reset the phone, please post how.

i had this happen a few times after mango, with podcasts though, i just removed them and re synched them and it stopped.

The Bootloader is slightly different, 1.3.2259.7(111288)
vs. 1.3.2250.7(111288) Original OS release, but your Firmware is the original version released with the phone. So you are missing both the NoDo and Mango Firmware upgrades.
Based on your profile, you are on AT&T and located in the US, but I have to ask, is the phone carrier unlocked. Or did you do that unbranding trick back with NoDo and lose visibility as an AT&T device. Strange that you are missing all firmware updates pushed out by AT&T.
I would definitely suggest a hard reset and hopefully your phone will get updated through Zune. HTC made a bunch of subtle, but important improvements to the phone, involving alarms, music doing quirky things when you plug anything in to the headphone jack, etc. You want the firmware updates for sure.

Sorry for the late response but i did carrier unlock because of at&t's slow update process. also hard resetting did cause the phone to see the update and it did help the music problem for about a day. Anyway is there any 7008 roms available for the surround that is still at&t branded (also tested to make sure their working as I don't know how brickable this phone is)? Also if I was able to go back to 7008 should I do the chevron unlock or should I try to get my dev unlock even though I forgot to fill out geotrusts forms, do you think they would still have mine open after 7+ months?

HTC Update for Trophy available

About an hour ago I got message that there is an update for my phone. It is HTC Update, not MS one (I already had NODO). It updated my Firmware and Bootloader to latest versions. I already had latest Radio, so I do not know is it also contain latest Radio, but it should.
My previous information:
OS: 7.0.7390.0
Firmware: 2550.09.10908.401
Radio: 5.54.09.21_22.33b.50.10U
Bootloader: haven't wrote version, but it was somthing like (114xxx)
UNLOCKED before NODO update
My new information:
OS: 7.0.7390.0
Firmware: 2550.09.12000.401
Radio: 5.54.09.21_22.33b.50.10U
Bootloader: 1.20.2250.0(117833)
STILL UNLOCKED!
where
where did you get the update?
was it a message on the phone???
thx
Have yet to receive that update on my Vodafone Trophy, but found this insteresting piece of news related to the HTC update:
http://wmpoweruser.com/has-the-htc-update-caused-some-windows-phones-to-go-16-bit/
Santi writes us about a new complaint about a pretty undesirable side-effect of the recent HTC Windows Phone 7 update. He notes some HTC users are reporting color banding/16bit color across the entire OS after the NoDo and/or yesterday’s update.
He notes it seems mainly related to the new firmware FW 2250.09.11001 and FW 2250.09.12000, with the OS version making no difference and is present on the HTC 7 Trophy and also HTC HD7.
Santi has some more pictures of the banding issue which results in his dropbox account here.
To check if your phone is affected, download this image and view it in the Pictures and Videos hub. it should display without banding.

Yes I get message on the phone. Then I connected to Zune and update.
I was curious to see what will happen if user doesn't have latest Radio, so I flashed my phone with older release of ansar's ROM (7004 OS with 5.52 Radio). I know that someone will ask that once, and I had a little free time.
First I got notification about February update and clicked install later.
I unlocked my phone and installed patch to prevent relocking. Then I installed February update.
Immediately after that I got March update notification but there was also a notice about HTC Update, so I got BOTH NODO and latest HTC update AT ONCE. This update takes VERY LONG (40 minutes maybe), and I do not count download time there.
Result is same:
OS: 7.0.7390.0
Firmware: 2550.09.12000.401
Radio: 5.54.09.21_22.33b.50.10U
Bootloader: 1.20.2250.0(117833)
It looks like I got the firmware-update too, when I got my march update from ms...
But I dont see a difference :S

My phone is Vodafone DE (unbranded with ansar's ROM).
I downloaded this image, converted that image to JPG (for some reason I can not add PNG to my phone via Zune ?!).
I also downloaded image from here, and cut off the left part, and left only original image.
I can see that my phone is 16bit now (why I have a feeling that I will restore old ROM to see was it 24bit earlier? ), but on my phone picture of that girl looks MUCH BETTER than on part I cut off.
Strange!
Just thought I'd say... Just updated my Trophy to Firmware: 2550.09.12000.707

[Q] Differences between leaked Mango RTM and official rom

Has anyone noticed any differences in the official Mango release? I know the changes probably are minimal, but any extra options, performance increases or bug fixes? I will report back when i get mine updated.
So far on AT&T Focus:
- Hidden SSID
- Tap Focus (the camera will focus on the place you tap)
- Compass !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (at last)
- the Firmware and Radio Software version changed from 2103.11.3.3 to 2103.11.8.1
- the bootloaderverdion changed from 5.3.1.6 to 5.8.0.2
Can you please list the versions for all the updates you have under Settings - About - More?
I had Mango Beta 2 (not RTM) and received a set of auto updates. One to 7720, one "Cleanup" package and now one Samsung Update and want to make sure that I am now on the official Mango build and that I don't need to downgrade to get the official one.
Here's what I see on my phone after updating to Mango using info posted today on WPCentral.com
OS:7.10.7720.68
Firmware: 2103.11.8.1
Hardware: 3.1.0.7
Radio: 2103.11.8.1
Radio Hardware: 0.0.0.3
Boot-loader : 5.8.0.2
Chip SOC : 0.36.2.0
Can anyone confirm the same versions after updated to Mango without doing any forcing?

I didn't do any forcing of the update and I have the same software/firmware versions as your device.
BTW: MS said months ago that current generation phones would be version 7.1 and 2nd generation phones would be labled as 7.5 - guess it has to do with the additional hardware.
I guess I had better upgrade....

If Zune isn't showing that you have an update available, go to the Windows Phone Hacker site and they have an easy way to force the update to the at&t build of Windows "Mango"

****, man, that's pretty bad news for me
I knew I should wait for the official update. I am not even sure now what creature I have on the phone.
I guess it's not the branded AT&T version?
What does the 7.5 has compared to 7.1 ?
What versions do you see on 'about'? Please post them.

NOTHING SUCKS! The Zune update will work on just about any version of OS you are running.
7.1 is on first gen devices and 7.5 is on second gen devices - adds support for front facing camera, etc.
As to what version of software am I now running? Just look at the above posts, the answer is there.
Just connect to Zune on your PC and go from there.

i'm pretty sure the gen2 devices will still be using 7.1 as the build number, under the OS version above it says windows phone 7.5 on my focus even though the specifc build is still 7.10.7720.68

So true, I stand corrected.
I was running one of the Beta builds and not the RTM, but I did notice one difference right off the bat. For linked contacts pinned to the home screen; the displayed name changed. It previously used the name I set but when I updated it changed and choose the name from the linked contact with the most info.
For example, I have my wife pinned to my home screen. Her contact card consists of 3 linked contacts. I don't really need it to display her last name so I just had it set up to show her first name (by leaving the last name field blank on the primary contact). In Mango RTM, it went in and pulled the name details from one of the other linked contacts since it had more info (it ad the first and last name filled in) and proceeded to use that name as the display name on the tile.
I updated today from pre-release mango to final mango and got the clean-up update, but I did NOT get the samsung update. Im still on:
radio software: 2103.10.10.1 and bootloader 4.10.0.1
anyone have an idea how to get the samsung updates?
Thanks to everyone for confirming the build numbers. On my Focus (rev 1.3), I have the same as posted here. Good to know that I don't have to roll-back after all!

Unbranded 16GB Omnia 7 and no Mango till now

I have samsung omnia 7 16GB unbranded i bought it from expansys
and till now i didn't get Mango update
any one could help
Regards
Lies and a different battery cover?
I dunno the whole system seems buggered - I have an 8GB "3" branded Omnia 7, and I received the updates the day it came out
Its getting rolled slowly, it can take up to 24 days to reach everyone. Google force update trick to get it to install faster
Sent from my OMNIA7 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
Try the Unofficial Way
You probably won't get the update until a few weeks because it's still in the distribution phase which could, or could not, take forever.
There is a trick that everyone's been doing though:
1. Connect your phone to your PC and launch Zune.
2. Go to your phone's settings from there, and click the 'Update' tab.
3. Then click on any other tab, and once again click on the Update tab.
4. This is the tricky part...right after you click the 'Update' tab for the second time, wait exactly from 2 to 3 seconds and then disconnect your PC from internet. You must do that before you get the 'No Updates Found' screen.
If you suceed, you should wait for about 20 seconds and then you will find an available update.
5. Reconnect to the internet, start your update, and voila.
thx for help
i try this unofficial way and it work with me and install the first update 7.0.4
but while installing 7.10 it give me error and the phone restart and stuck with samsung omnia 7 logo
i made hard reset for the phone it restore again to old software
but form this time every time i restart the phone it stuck with omnia 7 logo and i have to remove the battery and insert it again to load the os
any idea about this

I have 16GB unlocked and unbranded version as well and i have no mango yet either. I read elsewhere here that if you do the "trick" download using Zune you don't get the proper update for the Omnai because there is a Samsung firmware update as well that is missing. I will wait for a few weeks max to see if I can get via Zune. Will let you know when I get it.
@egyfox85:
Try to flash your device with a RTM ROM (or Nodo rom, but you cant use then the Chevron Jailbreak), because your Omnia 7 firmware is damaged.
Then try update to Mango..
Greetings.

I'm in a similar position as you where I have a 16gb Omnia 7. I actually forced my device but restored it back to NoDo soon after realising my firmware version was incorrect. I just hope me forcing it doesn't hinder my chance of getting Mango - does anyone know whether this could be an issue or not?
I have an unbranded omnia 7 16gb from tmobile germany (no carrier branding shown when turned on the phone). I forced update to mango but received an error 80180048 and now I want to reflash it back to its original rom to re-do updates to nodo and just wait for offical release. Does anyone know what the original rom is?
I was in the same situation. I made dozens of attempts to update, but only succeeded by reverting to a pre nodo rom, and allowing updates as far as Zune would go. After this, the phone updated all the way through to Mango using the network pull trick without issue. So if you are willing to wipe the phone completely, this might be the way.
I started at Samsung Omnia 7 Firmware XXJL3 Retail UK.
I've been using Mango since the day it first rolled out on my 16GB Omnia 7 from expansys UK.
Used the forced update, got the lastet OEM updated firmware with it too
now my phone stuck at start up Omnia 7 logo and i reflash it with firmware I8700XXKC1 after i finish it updated to 7.392 but also no mango
this should be UK rom
any idea about this too

yip, mine is a German model with 16GB (that's why I bought from there). But hey, horror stories.... I couldn't update NOW so I deleted it thinking that the old version was stopping the new version from downloading. Then I couldnt get it at all so I tried to go back to NODO and couldnt restore. Phone hung on the update connection . Reinstalled KC1 using WP7 installer and got back to NODO and did a force install (trick) to get back to Mango. And still I cannot update NOW; must be a Sammy problem. You should try the "force Zune trick" to get the Mango update pal..

Aaah,nah I already forced it and wasn't happy as the firmware was completely wrong, the reason I reverted back to NoDo was because of that issue. On a positive note, I sent a tweet to windowsphonehelp (or whatever they're called) and they responded back saying if you've forced it and go back to NoDo it shouldn't cause an issue - so, when Mango does officially come out for these handsets, I should get it with no issues. Here's hoping that happens sometime soon as I'm getting quite fed up - all my mates and even my brother are fully mango'd

I've been having loads of issues with it. I had no problems whatsoever on NoDo.
Slooooow boot ups. (sometimes fast sometimes takes a couple of mins)
Sometimes if i switch it off and on it locks up and just displays the battery indicator. No home screen. (need to pull the battery)
Problems with the data connection dying requiring a soft reset of the phone to re-enable. (this is a MAJOR issue)
Started having bluetooth issues - it wont discover anything sometimes. (seems to work if i switch on WiFi as well. wtf?)
Info slow to appear on lock screen.
Keyboard closes itself randomly (known issue i see)
Really un-impressed with Mango. I've just hard reset my device so will see if that helps at all.

So my specs are close to most others on here so I dont think I will force back to NODO to wait for official Mango. My phone is working 100% on every level right now so i will leave well enough alone for now!!
Let me know when you get the official release and your stats when installed.

Tango on E900 and still no Internet Sharing !

Hi everyone.
I want to ask this because I didn't find any clear and direct answer to this question (in the awfully long threads about this topic).
I don't own an Optimus 7 directly, I am talking about my girlfriend's phone.
Long ago I heard about the possibility of enabling Internet Sharing on LG E900 Optimus 7.
I already know that a particular driver or firmware update is required for it.
Today I managed to update the phone to Tango using Zune. Still I don't receive any LG firmware upgrade ...
These are the firmware numbers I read :

My girlfriend wants Internet Sharing but she won't let me reset her phone. She doesn't want to lose any message or app or photo or video or information she stored so far.
So the question is :
is there ANY WAY to flash the driver, to flash the firmware, to flash what's needed into this phone to enable internet sharing without losing any data ?
I already enabled the Internet Sharing option using registry editor, but the driver is still missing. "There is a problem with the current settings" message appears when I try to enable it.
any dev could help me ? I wonder if the cab sender isn't enough to send this driver to the phone.
can somebody give me a clear answer except for "you must reset the phone" ?
Currently I am downloading the firmware 'LG-E900AT-00-V10g-222-10-SEP-29-2010+0_DZ'
Can I flash it without losing all the informations on the phone ? (the real question is : the firmware will reset the ROM too ?)
Waiting for your answer.
Have a nice day.

Hi everyone.
I want to ask this because I didn't find any clear and direct answer to this question (in the awfully long threads about this topic).
I don't own an Optimus 7 directly, I am talking about my girlfriend's phone.
Long ago I heard about the possibility of enabling Internet Sharing on LG E900 Optimus 7.
I already know that a particular driver or firmware update is required for it.
Today I managed to update the phone to Tango using Zune. Still I don't receive any LG firmware upgrade ...
These are the firmware numbers I read :
OS Version 7.10.8773.98
Firmware 1.1.2.10
Hardware 1.0.0.0
Radio 1.1.2.10

Good to you that you made update on 8773 on OPN firmware, but my opinion reason why you be luck to update on 8773 is because you do not have OPN firmware that bring Internet Sharing.
My Story:
Couple months ago, Zune SW pop-up with notification for new update, at the end my phone was able to act as access point.
To be able to do that on your phone, you will need 1.1.9.10, in between there two other firmware 1.1.4.10 & 1.1.6.10.
I am suspect that reason why I cannot update on 8112 and 8773 is this firmware.
Please if someone with 1.1.9.10 OPN firmware has same problem, please describe here.
Currently my firmware is LG-E900_V11i_Final-jan-27-2012-2250-7720, as I can see this firmware does not exist under stock ROM for Optimus 7. In any case bring ICS to LG Optimus 7.
Cheers.

Can you send me the cab updates for these firmware ?
And the most important question is :
what happens if I send the wrong cab to the phone ?
superbump !
hey
that is the reason of silly support for LG E900, no custom roms etc.
Because Users don't know what they have in own phones.
There is internet sharing since mango.
Serach in setting: internet acces!

You didn't really read all my topic, didn't you ??
What are you saying is wrong.
Tango didn't bring the internet sharing.
A firmware update that was not received by everyone bringed it.
The firmware update changes accordingly to the brand of the phone.
I forced the 'Internet Sharing' option to show up by using WinTT.
When I try to enable it as I already said a "There is a problem with the current settings" message appears.
The real question is still this :
I bought my Optimus 7 in France, and I discovered later that it was 'OPN' branded. I used it with Vodafone since the beginning. PHERAPS this is the reason I didn't get the firmware update.
So what happens if I try to manually flash the cab 'LG Optimus 7/E900 - OPN NEU branded 1.1.6.10 - November 7th 2011' over :
OS Version 7.10.8773.98

Hey,
Same history for me but my Firmaware and Radio are different.
OS Version 7.10.8773.98

Thanks and sorry for my english!
for what its worth, I know the german vodaphone branded rom has it, and its works great, for me its been enabled since i've had the device.

[q] i do not know what else to do help !!!!!

Guys, sorry about my ignorance............................
Does anyone REALLY knows if HTC Surround with SPL 4.3 and onwards are encrypted in a way you cannot re flash, no matter what ?
Background:
I bought 2 unlocked AT&T Surround from Jacksonville (USA, FL) with 3 months apart from eBay. They both arrived ok and originally had Mango 7 and with Zune both phones were upgraded to 7.5. Within months apart both phones failed. The first one I changed the Micro SD card and all went well.
The second phone failed 4 days ago in a little bit different manner. Used to turn on and of and I had to take the battery out. Then I changed the Micro SD card and lasted 4 hours. Then I changed, again, the SD card and same problem.
I then found this place (XDA developers.com) and read and read and read.
Just before I continue I like to list out what I have:
AT&T Surround fully unlocked. I use TELSTRA in Australia. Works like a charm ( so CID must be ok?).
OS Version 7.10.772068
Firmware Version 2250.21.40300.502
Hardware Revision Number 0003
Radio Software Version 5.69.09.05a_22.50.50.21H
Radio Hardware Version A.26.0.D4
Bootloader Version 4.3.2250.0(178976)
CHIP SOC Version 2.2.5.0
So based upon above and what I read and took the stance of downgrading to SPL 1.52 so I could use another ROM.
I used DFT and was successful to downgrade to SPL 1.52.
Since then there is no way to put any ROM of any kind and I suspect that my phone being 4.3; nothing is good.
Finally I had the opportunity to find a ROM quite new (in a Russian site) and managed to flash it. Gave me 100% success.
But the phone starts and beeps 7 times and that is it..........
Besides getting a hammer, what else can I do if anything.............. I have the funny feeling that I have f......... up the phone.
SPL 4.xx or 5xx cannot be made ??????
This is probably a model that was a dud from day number one. I wonder how long the other will hold.
If anyone knows, but really knows, would appreciate an answer. Sorry, I am a bit skeptical...........lots of people write and talk but I cannot make sense.
I need accuracy. Thanks in advanced !
PS: By the way every time I use a ROM update program, no matter which one is it (of the ones I could source) the previous version when running the wizard never appears. This is saying to me that there must be a protection in the EEPROM system. Why I cannot read the previous version and when I successfully flash it comes up and beeps seven times and dies there ?
