7720 background multitasking lacks
Care to illustrate? I'm on 7712 & it works.. Not on all apps la, bt its a beta
Sent from my LG Optimus 7
Mango multitasking wont be good until the apps are updated to resume properly, right now when you go back to an app it usually wont bring you back to the exact spot you were at, because the apps doesnt know that they can and they will as long as the dev knows whats he/she is doing once mango apps start to appear
Be more specific please
Please refrain your question and be more specific. Remember this is a beta build or in your case (RTM build 7720) afterall, and only few apps and games take advantage of multitasking at the moment.
I'm running Mango RTM 7720 and multitasking is fine, much smoother and quicker than the first Mango beta build released in July and it will only get better once its approved by OEMs and network carriers.
RTM 7720 - Gmail syncing issues
Just updated my HTC HD7 to the RTM 7720 build yesterday by starting with a clean install from NoDo and everything went fine.
However, I seem to be having some trouble trying to set up Gmail. I have tried a few time to set it up but it keeps telling me "Attention required" under Settings (Email+accounts) - Gmail.
When I click on it it says the following "Update your information for m.google.com and press Save". I tried that on the browser but it takes me to the mobile version of Gmail and its not helpful at all.
Has anyone else come across this issue? If so, any solutions...???
Thanks in advance

I had that problem too. This morning it was gone. Maybe try again? It was perhaps on Google part that things didn't work.

As stated each app much be updated with a single line of code to make MT work in Mango. The Marketplace will not allow apps to have this code at the moment. Thus most apps not working with MT.

Really? I suppose instead of acting like a douche (Most users do) and telling you to use Search, I can tell you that you hold down the Back button on your phone.
PS: Use search. Most users wont be so kind.
hehe thanks....watched a youtube video and saw it.

If you used ChevronWP7 or Chris Walsh's tools to update your WP7 phone to NODO, and now you can't update to the latest May release (7932) then here is the fix you have been looking for! This tool allows the restoration of your phone such that it can be updated through Zune again. All credits goto Chris Walsh. No need to downgrade from NODO or mess around with your ROM!

Obviously use "wpst_x86_2.zip" for 32-bit and "wpst_x64_2.zip" for 64-bit Win7/Vista. Make sure you have at least .NET Framework 4.0 installed.
Instructions:
1) Sync your favorite WP7 to your PC
2) If Zune loads, let Zune sync with your WP7 phone, establish a connection, then kill Zune
3) Run the Chris Walsh program "WPST.exe"
4) Read the onscreen instructions and wait for the update to complete
5) Try updating phone in Zune after Chris Walsh fix

You need
- the phone to be unlocked (Chevron)
- WP7 Root tools
- Read Unbranding your phone for updates thread
- Read Prevent relock thread
1. Install WP7 Root tools.
2. Do the "Prevent relock" reg hack.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg]
"PortalUrlProd"=""
"PortalUrlInt"=""
3. Do the "Unbrand" reg hack
HKLM\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo\MobileOperator
Edit it and instead of "ATT-US" (original value) leave blank
4. Connect to Zune and update to 7392
I have a Focus updated to 7392
LE: alternatively, you can also sideload and run Samsung Tools and tick "remove sideload limit", "prevent relock" and " enable 3g".
This hasn't worked for me, I am still getting the update error.
Any other suggestions?
I originally flashed an Ansar VF NZ rom, it allows me to update to 7008, but fails with 80180048 on 7392.
Hard reset, Walsh's tool. still no go..
Anyone?
Yes. Flash the Rogers rom and start over. Something's not working properly and you can try to spend a lot of time trying to find out what it is or you can enjoy the phone. Your call.
I'm suggesting Rogers rom, because the while AT&T has apps (will you use'em?) it doesn't support sms delivery notification. Also, Rogers rom is closest to original Samsung rom.

Yup. You can at least figure out if it's a software, hardware or firmware problem. GL
Did the update. Is there any reason to rebrand the phone after the update? Or can I just leave ATT-US blank?

Yeah, from what I've read, there is no rush... When AT&T does offer Mango, will I have to add it then?

If you really want the additional stuff AT&T will put in it, yes. Otherwise you can probably get the "official" update like everyone else. Again, your call

WP7 doesn't really have bloatware. All the preinstalled ATT apps can be deleted. ATT did provide a WiFi sniffer that looked for free ATT WiFi spots and automatically connected without intervention from the user. I think this and the ability to import ATT contacts came only to ATT branded phones with the 7390 update

That's what I said What do you call something you don't use and that occupies space otherwise? Plus you do have to delete those apps to free space, so those are extra steps. As for the Wispr, Mango (including this beta) offers this connectivity generic. For contacts, I have no clue what ATT contacts are but Outlook sync works perfectly.

I'm looking forward to the official Mango update, and will see what happens then. Thanks for all your good input!
Is there a Samsung focus specific mango build? I searched the forum and can't find it. it seems like they are all HTC.
If there please direct me there.
Sent from my SGH-i917 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
the thread for the 7720 build is a generic rtm build that will work on the focus.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1215501
Confirmed, I updated my Focus v1.3 last week with minimal effort. Just make sure to remove music and videos off your phone to save time/time out error during the backup process.
yes, it seems like they are all HTC.
I have a post over at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1224139 that shows how to get a Focus updated to Mango keeping the unlock. I had issues with my Diagnosis app closing when I tried to use the GPRS manager to run the unlock provxml. Also getting past the timeout errors.. has to do with that .bat file.
Worked! Had to run the .bat file twice for the updates to take. Log said timeout error on restart. Second try worked great!!
No Samsung Update for me, and no issues with the updated Diagnosis. Unlocked too. MMS working as well.
Thank you!
Hello, I just got my Omnia7 and I need some answers:
1. When does mango come out? My country/region (Finland) doesn't have the market available and it's SO ****ing annoying! I can't dl games, apps I cand to ****.
2. Is it true that when I get mango, Can I use hidden wifi? My house wifi is hidden (don't know why, no hax0rz nearby I know that)? It annoying me so much that I can't even browse the net with my phone because no wifi available -______-
3. I have a .XML backup file of my SMS, is there an app like SMS backup&restore so I could get my messages back to my new phone?
I had somethin else on my mind that I had to ***** about too lol but I cant remember atm... Don't get me wrong, this phone is awesome, fast, and looks amazing but it's not ready yet and needs Mango ASAP!!
About the first one, Mango will be out probably this month. In order to get the marketplace working you can either create a live account with a UK address or wait for the official release of mango.

1. new rumors tell of an Mango release on 15th Sept.
search at wpcentral . com for the reasons of this rumors
(I´m not allowed to post links)
1. Marketplace will be open to Finland when Nokia launch its Windows Phones which is in 2 months.
2. Yes, Mango supports hidden WiFi.
3. Sorry, there's no way to restore and backup your SMS. (not officially anyway).
Uh guys, as far as I can see at this source the Finnish marketplace should already be open
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/952586?sd=zune
mango may be out in the fall, and now the mango is the reveal version.market is a Problem.you can hacking phone
Thanks for all the replies
Okay so the Mango should be coming in September? It's the 2nd now, wpcentral says it might come on the 15th and that's only two weeks with a phone I can barely do nothing...
@day2die do you have a source that I need to wait for the marketplace that long? I can access zune marketplace on pc with the zune thing I downloaded. I DL'd YouTube app yesterday but I guess it failed somehow because I wasn't connected
To wifi when I tried to visit the mp on the phone...
Thank god for the hidden wifi support, why didn't we get this from the start -___-
Also the backup&restore, I don't care if it's official or not, I just want my messages back lol hopefully some 3rd party software maker will make an app for that if there already isn't one....
How can I hack my phone to access the marketplace? Or how do I install mango beta? Does the beta have hidden wifi availability?
I read somewhere that Mango will be release in October not september.
If I now go to Mango beta by looking the noob friendly guide, is it easy to come back to the NoDo and then update to official Mango?
yes ' you can...........
i updated to mango beta and now i came back to nodo with out problem.....
i installed it on my computer which has win7 ultimate.. but i just cant find a way to open the program...
i have an hd7 chevron unlocked on 7392.. zune software 4.8.(someting)..
the version of the wpdm says it is 1.3..
i tried already to run it in compatibility mode for both xp and vista and still it wont open. can anyone please help me to open the program
What is it doing? Does it appear to launch & than automatically close? If so, it's because of the WP& Developer Tools (I think that's the name). It requires the 7.0 version to be installed. The Mango one will cause it to crash & not having it installed will also cause it to crash.
okay then how do we remove it>?
i couldent get it to work ither and now i cant get it to remove thares a non working short cut with no icon stuck in my control pannel
can anyone help?
no it doesnt do anything.. just the uac opens and then the circle around the arrow shows which indicates its loading but then nothing happens... i do have wp developer tools . newer ones cuz i needed them to unlock the phone n sync the .xap files to phone

WPDM v1.3 is not compatible with Mango & the Mango tools. The desktop app is reliant on the original tools. TouchXperience on phone won't work on Mango & is needed for WPDM to connect.
okk but wasnt there a wpdm with version 1.6 or something like that ??.
anyways so if i want to use it should i downgrade the windows tools and zune to 4.7 ????
sorry am somekind of a noob for wp7
I think 1.6 isn't reliant on the tools app. You can keep Zune 4.8, it's the mango support tools that causes the problem. The 1.6 is closed beta. If you donate to Schaps & email him on his site, he'll give your forum account on his site access to the beta forum. A minimum donation is enough. I have it & it's a lot better.

I don't think that works either. The main problem to why WPDM isn't working as it should in Mango is because Mango have restricted InteropServices and native code. As soon as anyone finds a way to go around that it'll probably work.

The OP is talking about the desktop app crashing. I already mentioned that TouchXperience doesn't work in Mango & is required for WPDM to connect to your phone.
ok thanks for your replies ill try to restore to the old developent tools to see if that works
I just got a message saying that there is a new update for the HTC Hub; should I be worried about anything like it trying to update drives or loosing my unlocks, I know this sounds silly but you know how sneaky they and MS are. Thanks.
App updates can't, by themselves, do either of those. HTC Hub does have ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES and the full array of HTC COM DLLs (for no reason that I'm aware of), or at least it used to, so it *could* do something tricky if you ran it I guess, but the odds are very much against it. Just installing it would be fine in any case.

I just updated it on my HTC 7 Pro with Dynamics7 rom.
In Setting menu I installed registry editor and advanced config, last version
and they're working.
I have also touchxplorer and other deployed app, such as battery status, and they're working, too.
IMO we can update, there should be no trick like what you wrote above...
[EDIT]: I ran it to update Accuweather, before trying registry editor and so on...

Thanks lordmago, I just don't trust these guys anymore with all the phones re-locking them selves out of the blue and such. Will try it when I get home, I have a back up anyway so I can always go back.
Anyone got a changelog?
