Hello
I am a registered developer for WP7 and I got an invite from Microsoft to get Mango for my phone, and I did.
My questions is this: on engadget.com, I saw a video of a phone running a newer version of Mango, with a few extra features (visual voicemail, bing something, etc)
How can I get that? Or is it only available to certain devs?
Searched around, have yet to see any answers.
Thanks.
a number of features are country dependent and some are dependent on your carrier.
If you can give us that information, perhaps someone can tell you more.
can somebody explain to me why I dont have bing audio in mango beta 2? is it region specific too? I am located in surabaya indonesia with telkomsel. developer unlocked...
or nobody has it on their beta 2?

I am located in the US, on AT&T, with a Samsung Focus.
The new Bing map features were demonstrated using an example from NYC, so if anything, this should be available in the US.

I've got it on mine. Tested it too and works. I'm in the US. I wonder if there's any way to trick the Zune software, maybe connect through a proxy or something.

Visual Voicemail is available only on t-mobile in the US.. I have a focus on at&t.. so I don't get it either..
Bing Vision, Bing Music, Bing Maps w/ turn by turn directions and Local Scout all work on my device.
Facebook chat works as well, it just needs to be linked to windows live via live.com before it will work.
I saw at least one video with an unlocked focus running on t-mobile that was demonstrating the visual voicemail feature in mango.
Anybody able to make bing audio work outside us? Tried changing the region settings to us and did not work.
My settings are set to australia, but my actual location is in surabaya, indonesia.
if i disable location from search settings, its worse, local scout button is missing haha.
in germany its also working. turn by turn navigation and voicemail/sms ...

Oh ok, I see. I hope the retail version of mango is the same for everyone. Now off to figure out a way to get it on my phone. If I have any success, I'll post here. I'll message you too.

I'm going to look into this.
In the meantime, you can use the shazam app.
Nice

lack of visual voicemail is reportedly not an OS problem.. it's an at&t network problem.
They have to have it set up on their end.. and they don't have it for any phone but the iPhone.

anyone able to make a CAB for the youtube app? seems like Tmob UK have removed this for some reason!!
I have an branded Uk HD2 with T-mobile PAYG sim and YouTube finds no videos! they must be blocking...
I need the Youtube program too!! if I put an original HTC rom on the phone as a replacement
1. will the youtube program work?
and
2.will the t-mobile internet settings be difficult to re-install ?
Hi,
here is the CAB.
with friendly greet
starbase64
T-Mobile aren't blocking the YouTUbe app. I suspect that the Youtube App was taken out in error as they haven't taken it out of any of their other devices (such as the G2 Touch), and that supports high quality YouTube clips, as does the T-Mobile Touch 2 and probably loads more of their handsets.
Make sure you get the childlock removed on TMObile. you have to ring them up to do this. It stops you viewing any user generated (potentially nasty) content. Crazy that it's on by default and they make you turn it off rather than the other way around.
I had to ring up twice to get them to do it for me.
Saying that, now YouTube works perfectly over HSDPA but not over WiFi.
Oh and I also removed TMobiles proxy that is set up. This was stopping Twitter from working so I don't know if that had an affect on YoUTube also
I asked TMobile tech support about the proxy and why it was needed and why it was added if it can just be removed but they couldn't tell me anything. They had no clue and could only advise me on what the settings should be.
Be aware to install this cab for a german t-mobile device!
after install, no videos in HTC album are playing.
Hopefully a working Youtube.cab or a fix for this comes on.
You can find the program in the windows directory, make a shortcut in start/program/
...
As Chimp said, TMobile block practically all video sites through the phones data conection, not the WiFi.
This will stop any videos downloading through the YouTube app. Only way you can get round it is calling them up, getting the block removed and away you go.
Some what annoying, when you give them your D.O.B anyway... surely they must know you're over 18 to watch "inapropriate" videos anyway!?
You can just log into the t-mobile website and untick the content block, no need to bother calling them up going through the countless menus.

Hi.
Lookin for Skype app working with 3UK 3G network.
As many of u knows 3UK users have free Skype.
Standard app cant connect thru 3G
Found an Skype app for 3UK but only for android.
Anyone knows about WM version ???
Help much appreciated.
errr??? I have a skype 3.0 gold cab which I searched for on the forums and it works fine via 3G on my HD2 with O2???
It took about five mins to connect the first time, but subsequently connects within 10seconds over 3G (wifi disabled).
TBH no network wants skype 3G traffic - only way to get it over 3G is either sanctioned as 3UK do, or via jailbroken iphones. That's one reason why skype pulled WM6.5 support - because they could not guarantee to lock it down to wifi as they can on iphone.
Plz read the thread carefully, i stated 3UK not O2.
Thats the difference. Big one.
Any one else?
Edit: And im lookin for any version, not newest. Any.
I am in UK and on 3 network.
Skype V3 for WM works fine and connects perfectly over 3G. You don't need a specific 3 version...

My skype v3 after 60 sec or so, showing me a cant connect error.
Any ideas?
my point was to leave it for a long time - it appeared not to connect but eventually did regardless of network and versions.
The OP is referring to the specific skype through the 3 network app that is found on 3 issue phones.
There is nothing that allows this as 3 don't support the HD2 and so there is no model specific app.
Winmo skype does not have the facility to dial a "local" based number which is how the 3 network accesses the skype service for free through its own dedicated servers.
It may be possible to extract a 3 version app from another winmo model that 3 do support, but, then would it install on the HD2?
BTW Skype connects through any 3G network or WiFi by default.

Thats exactly what i meant.
Just wonder is this possible to extract it from another phone?
Any experts wanna give a shot ?
The problem is that they only list the Hero as a supported HTC phone and that's Android!
No way to make a patch in skype to send identification as hero?

The included app is specifically written for the android OS so very little chance.

Now i'm REinstalling mago,i hope it will work this time
they are location specific btw .. they might not be yet there in your country ... just to let you know
Still no bing vision,local scout,turn by turn:/I'm from croatia.
Here in Canada = no Bing Vision, no Local Scout... it's irritating.
Bing Vision and Bing Audio working fine here.
I'm from Brazil but my live ID is US.
My bing local scout, audio, vision bing maps turn by turn worked when I launch mango the first time. Then after several hours,it just disappeared. Quite weird.
I found the answer: I changed the system local to china.
So you need to only change system local to china,and you will get bing vision,scout ....??Can somebody confirm tihs?
Bing services are fine in the UK if you want to try that locale.
Sorry for my wrong expression.
I mean I cant find the bing audio/scout/... after i set system locale from US to China.
I tried change system locale from china to US. Not work.
But then I changed browser/search language to US, bing audio/.. come back.
Does anyone have Bing Music?
I changed my locale from Canada to US and got the improved vision & the local scout, but there's still no sign of Music on my end.
So please help:
I have Hotmail for 13 years.
Now Zune finally starts to support my country (Poland).
So when I want to login to Zune on my PC, Zune says country/region of my PC and Hotmail are not the same so I cannot be logged in.
Apparently 13 years ago Hotmail didn't even exist for Poland so I couldn't even locate my account for Poland.
So what can I do? I don't want to change my account of course and it is already attached to my phone. I can't login to Zune.
You can change country in Regional and country settings in Control Panel in Windows.

No no. I am not going to change my country/regional setting of my PC, why should I?! Idiotic.
I talk about changing Hotmail regional settings, it's logical and should be easier.
hmm i don't know if it's help but try here: https://account.live.com/EditProf.aspx
Unfortunately that link doesnt help. It says one thing there and one thing on the "Zune-side" of the account. When trying to add a CC to my Live-account it tells me that I live in the US (because when I first bought my hd7 i lived in the US), but now i I have moved back to Sweden. Result: I cannot use the Marketplace.
MS: When will you EVER learn...

Thanks but Zune still says the same thing!
So you say you CAN'T just easily change the country in your Hotmail in order to use Zune in your country?!
If this is true it means MS is really driven by idiots.

I don't get you.
My Windows is Polish, Hotmail set for Polish location.
So where is the problem?
This is madness. My live id is used as my developer id as a microsoft partner but I can't change the country back to the Netherlands.
Are they mad, mad mad , mad, yes..oh I know they want more live/zune users so now we all create a new one.....
Once you set the region in your live account (Zune, Hotmail, Xbox) you can't change it. I know it's absurd that you can't but that's how MS operates!!! they had the option of changing the country to newer xbox live enabled countries but that was very few (like South Africa).
I had set my country as UK for getting Xbox Live, and now i can't revert back to India. there have been numerous threads about this idiotic behaviour but no changes from MS yet.
Actually you can change the country on your Zune-account, BUT every app you have bought will have to be bought again and reinstalled as well. You will loose everything that has to do with Live/Zune/Marketplace on your phone according to the warning message I got when I checked it out.

And where do you do that?
Hello! I just got an unlocked at&t surround phone for christmas. I use simple mobile from t-mobile. The phone makes calls and sends texts but will not connect with the 3g internet or send MMS. I have already been through older posts here looking for an answer. everyone talks about an app in the marketplace called connection setup. I have seached the htc market place and the general marketplace and i cannot find it. Is there any other way? or am i possibly not looking in the right place?
Any help you can give me is welcome! if i cant fix the phone i will have to sell it and i dont want to I love it!
thank you!!

You won't be able to connect to 3G on that phone running T-Mobile. They use different 3g bands and it is hard coded into the hardware. As for mms you need to make sure your apn is correct
So it will only work with AT&T?

Yup or one of the carriers outside the US that use the same bands

Custom ROM for HTC Mondrian (Surround)
I have tried using the custom ROMs by DFT and Ansar, but the Intrinsic ROM seems to be the best. It has 7.10.7740.16 version and Internet Sharing. TouchExplorer and Registry Editor work on it. I have only two issues - TouchExperience is throwing an unhandled exception error and i am not able to update to 7.10.8107.79 through Zune.
An update - i didn't want to continue using a ROM which doesn't allow updates, so i tried Ansar's RUU_Surround_Cingular_US_4.03.502.01_Radio_5.69.09.05a_22.50.50.21U_NT_Mango_7720 again.
Again, Zune did not show the 7740 and 8107 updates, but i was able to install them using WP7+Update+Cab+Sender.
So i finally have what i was looking for - an unlocked phone which can be upgraded to tha latest os version.
Almost ideal, except for one key ingredient missing - Internet Connection Sharing. I've tried DiagProvXMLv0.91_IS and it has resulted in the internet sharing option showing under Settings. However, i get an error msg 'Internet sharing isn't enabled yet' when i try to turn on the feature.
Hoping that Ansar will read this post and provide a solution soon!
