How many people have done it? I'm doing it right now. Step 2 of 9 for the actual beta update...my goodness..it takes a while but it should be worth it.
I'm doing it the way that doesn't require a dev unlocked phone or dev account btw.
Damn that texting bug!! It's still there (kinda). You can keep on typing after 160 characters..just can't send anything.

Yeah for real right? I hope it's fixed by the time Mango goes gold
Update went off without a hitch on two Arrives. Developer unlocked them and then ran that provision.exe file to backup/flip the switch to flag the update to come down.
I think the texting thing is a sprint ROM issue. So yeah, I don't think a fix will come until the Sprint Mango update is released.
Trying this on my HTC Arrive right now.
The final 7661 build is installing now!
I will update you guys when complete, if all goes well...

Update OK but
Update was OK, but I am seeing some issues, I am not sure if they are on all Mango phones.
a.) Screen does not go black (off) when taking a call. Thi is bad, because your ear is pressing buttons on the screen, mainly Hold
b.) custom ringtones work now, but they are still low in volume
c.) battery life, not as good as before Mango
d.) proboems with downloading email atatchements (does not work most of the time)
still missing some stuff:
a.) interface to configure phone network settings like, time before switching to voice box,...
b.) send a full contact to another phone
any other know issues or new features detected ?

This one existed before the Mango update, though it rarely happened for me.

I did see something I'd not seen before in email:
"This type of message is not supported by current version of Windows Phone."
As far as I can tell it's just a normal e-mail oddly enough, though I think it was digitally signed. I downloaded a picture attachment just fine though, maybe it's the type?
The no unlock process is on windowsphonehacker dot com Follow the directions. You actually update the phone 2 times. After the first time it says there is another update. The 2nd one is Mango. Literally takes an hour.
I'm using it on a HTC Arrive right now. No crashing or weird stuff for me yet.
done it yesterday, it took me about two hours, no problem
I am missing:
Czech QWERTY keyboard
different notifications for sms and IM (I don't want the phone to vibrate for every IM message, but it would be nice to vibrate when stand-by mode)
already put mango in my htc 7 pro and it is amazing, very fast, good performance and a lot of new things.
I like it very much, and the performance of the IE9 is amazing, very fast load the pages. i think is the best improvement in mango. The IE9 is the best browser i try until today.
i have no problem with the SMS about the number of character, until now everything i use must is running perfect.
think the wp7 is getting better and better.
Just gave Mango a shot on my Arrive. So far everything is working after a little setup and it all works flawelessly. Love it so far.

I have Czech too, but it is QWERTZ not QWERTY, and no option to change it, also when I pop out the HW keyboard the layout changes back to ENG - therefore preventing me from typing characters like čřžšě. Anyone else has problem with this??
Will try the different statuses behavior, but what I meant was: when you chat with someone and you are on the messaging screen it is not necessary to notify every message because you see what is happening.
Updated using non-dev process. Took 2 hours but works flawlessly. Posting from my Sprint HTC Arrive while eating phad tai...so spicy.
Any concerns by anyone that the unlock process (which I haven't read the steps yet) will lock you out of future updates in the same way that the previous WP7 unlocks did?
I've got a Dev account (a couple of free apps in the marketplace), but that's limited to three phones and I've got 5 phones at home.....want to upgrade everyone.
You mean looking before you leap? Thats crazy! Come on in, the waters fine. Maybe you remember that old tale from "Scary stories to tell in the dark" - Room for One More...muahahaha

If you're worried- september 22nd is the Mango drop date on the street. I'm sure we will see something non-beta around here shortly before that.
There is a process on windowsphonehacker to go back to NoDo.
I know this is very long to read but it's a very frustrating problem, hoping someone out there would be willing to help. I've searched a lot on it and haven't been able to find anything similar.
This is my original thread that's since been archived: http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1043323.html
I am using a Samsung Focus on AT&T, with the latest NoDo build (7390). The update went fine with no problems but the keyboard is slow to respond now. It seems like if I'm typing faster than a certain speed, it can't keep up and the buttons don't flash and make the click sound with every press, like I've reached some kind of threshold. I've tried turning off/on all the settings for sound on press, auto-correct, etc., and none of it has worked. This includes applying "reset text suggestions" in the keyboard settings menu.
I tried to reset the phone completely via the About > Reset Phone option, but that didn't help. I've also tried to reformat with the Power+Vol Down+Camera button combo but that didn't fix it either. It's happened with and without a memory card in the phone. The phone has plenty of storage space available...more than 50%.
This happens in the Messaging application, any email account, marketplace search, Bing search, etc. Every place I can type, the problem occurs. I downloaded the Text Text Revolution game to test that and it does NOT have the problem. This is an increasingly frustrating problem to deal with. It makes me think I've made mistakes when I really haven't and is very distracting. It's obvious the phone isn't broken or anything since the keyboard does JUST FINE in Text Text Revolution.
I've managed to revert my phone back to 7004 and 7008, using the stock AT&T Focus ROMs available over in the Samsung threads here. Those builds DO NOT have the problem and the keyboard works great. It works fine whether the phone is locked (stock) or dev unlocked (ChevronWP7). The problem only occurs after I upgrade to NoDo. Has anyone else noticed this problem when moving to 7390, AT&T or any other carrier? From all the work I've done it seems to be directly related to AT&T's NoDo update but I haven't been able to confirm this with anyone else yet. It can't be a problem with the phone since it works fine on pre-NoDo. Anyone willing to try and help me out?
I'm having trouble with the Samsung Focus after NoDo cuz after i update it the keyboard sudden become slow and not as responsive as before. the clicking sound of the keypress isn't sync with what i typed and it's so fustrating... i need HELP!!
everything else seems to work fine
It got it, too. It's because of the "Samsung update" from AT&T goes with NoDo update. What I did at the end is flash my Focus to Rogers ROM and voila, no keyboard lag.
YES.
I've had this problem since March and have so far not found a fix for it at all. No one has posted any helpful responses, either. I got fed up with it eventually and have disabled the click sound on my keyboard. Way to go AT&T for ****ing up my phone. You never cease to amaze me...
had the same problem, format fixed it.
I had this issue, too, though it didn't go hand-in-hand with getting NoDo. It got progressively worse after getting the update over the course of a month or so, and I just got used to it. Coincidentally, I chose to add a MicroSD card which means I needed to format the phone and start over, and the keyboard lag has been gone since.
I know a format/reset is not an ideal solution, of course...
I did a format (power+camera+volume down) instead of a normal reset through the menus because I was adding a MicroSD card. I don't know if just doing a normal reset would have different results.
I had my keyboard progressively lagging. What I found was that ALL of my text messages were still saved since december, so I cleared out most of them, and that seemed to resolve the issue for me.
I had this issue as well, upgrading to Mango seems to have fixed that.
hey where can u get the rogers rom? isn't it the canadian rom? and will updating to mango be affected by this rom?
Hi guys,
It seems that after receiving the new OTA update I ran into some issues.
My problem is that after installing the update my phone started to occasionally refuse to unlock the screen after pressing the power button.
If I connect the charger the screen unlocks but otherwise I have no option to unlock it.
I did a Factory restore (of course I lost every bit of apps I had installed - even tough I had the Backup settings activated-) and it seems that I'm seeing the same problem a few times a day.
Has anyone encountered this issue?
The phone is bought from Vodafone and original software installed.
Haven't rooted or S-off it.
Thanks
if ur phone is s-on and have same issue like s-off phones thats actually good news..seems that HTC messed up something...maybe is good advice for u to give phone to repair service if is s-on and see what thay can say about that.
I actually had that bug BEFORE the update, but not after. Instead of that, HTC Locations stopped working after the update and still is refusing to start even after factory resets and reinstall.
I have tried to contact HTC through their website to ask wheter something can be done about the issue, but the "Email Us" form doesn't seem to be sending anything after pressing submit and the "Chat with Us" form just shows blank white... I tried them on IE, FF and on my phone but they all show the same kind of behaviour.
It's really beginning to get irritating...
Clearly a software issue if it really happened after the OTA.
Wiping your Cache, Dalvik-cache partitions along with your Data (Factory Reset) should be able to refresh your phone as a "brand-new" one. That is if you can.
Stock recovery has an option to wipe Data and Cache.
If these still doesn't work, shove it to HTC's arses.,
Just kidding..
Send it for repair or maybe show it first to them.
some more bug.
-> live wallpaper sometime hang.
Starting yesterday I disabled the new feature "Trace keyboard" and since then the phone unlocked everytime.
Has anyone else kept this option activated and working ok?
2.3.5 OTA suxxxxs
Hi All,
I got OTA 2.3.5 Sense 3.0 on last Friday.
Since I have the screen problem = after a call sometimes I cannot unlock the screen with power button. If connect to the charger it's unlock and after the
power button works again. My phone is S-ON, fully original.
And I have 2 friends, they have Desire S and got this update too,
and after it the problem appear on their phones too.
So I think something wrong with new OTA update.
And I also notice the TTS Service, don't work too, it's always
halted.
(I made a factory reset and my friends too, but we have this problem too)
Any idea?
Everybody "got" this bug with OTA?
Bye,
Istvan from Hungary.
Wait for fix from HTC. They messed up something.
~Swaypovano sa Desire S BRE!~
I was finally able to get in touch with HTC regarding the Locations bug. The service agent said that he has never heard of such a problem before. His advice was that I should try the factory reset once more without the SIM card and without logging in to my Google account. I did that but the Locations still won't work. Only advice after this was to send my phone in for service... I'm really not happy with sending it in just to get an app (that was broken by their own update) to work again. I'm also pretty sure there was something wrong with the update to begin with considering all the new bugs being surfaced all the time.
This is really frustrating...
Would the people that have updated please tell wheter their Locations works perfectly? And if so, where are you from?

Try to disable the "Trace keyboard" feature. I did that and it seems that for the last ~18 hours I didn't encountered the unlock bug once.
Trace keyboard...
My "Trace keyboard" was off and the problem also present.
I tried to switch on, it hasn't any effect to the problem.
I hope the HTC will soon cede to this OTA full with bugs...
But as I known them, they not soo fast.....
Since the OTA update my Desire S crashes about once a day, and after it reboots it tells me it has recoverd from an error and asks me if i want to send the report to HTC. Seeing as how it reboots without any problems, and it works perfectly except the crash once a day, i suspect it has something to do with the flashing to 2.3.5.
Should i try a factory reset, or could there be another solution (seeing as how i really want to avoid a factory reset).
Oh and I have not rooted or S-OFF'ed my DS before the OTA update, so it's totally stock (as it has been since I got it)
I was able to fix the bug with Locations not starting up by changing my phone's language to English, then starting Locations, then changing the language back to Finnish again and voilá, it worked. One less problem for me.
I think that the Locations bug is limited to Nordic language versions (or even only to Finnish versions).
Hello
After update i have also the issue with the screen impossible to re-activate by power button after call is ended.
howto reproduce the issue: it happens only when screen is locked by security lock (PIN) and I receive a call. I pick up the call, screen is automatically turned off during call. After the call is finished, I'm unable to get the screen active again by pressing the power button!
Only working workaround is to attach phone to charger or connect to USB. Then the screen is activated and I can unlock it by PIN and working normally...
I need to have security lock enabled to be able to sync corporate email ( this is the security policy enforced by corporate Exchange server).

This new OTA update looks more like a beta testing for many users still haven't got it and those who got it are complaining about bugs.
Some are affected by power button bug and others experience difficulties unlocking their phones.
What makes the situation even more strange is HTC not announcing the update.

I'm sure you're right. HTC must have got a whole load of their people committed on new phones, others working on the recent security issues, so updates to our DS must be fairly low-priority. It smacks of the way that Microsoft beta-tested new OSes (perhaps still do) - Deploy many different public beta versions, don't bother actually reading the feedback but just simply measure how many complaints come in on each version. Finally, make official the version that got the fewest complaints.
I wouldn't be surprised if it goes quiet again for a week or so now.
The reply from HTC regarding the power bug:
Thank you very much for your cooperation and please be informed that we will get into this issue and we will try to determine what could cause these problems and what can be the solution. Please be patient with us because the investigation process itself it may take between 2 weeks and 4 weeks.
Have a nice day!
Disappointing
Hello,
After investigating further on my issue about "unable to resume screen by power button after call is finished" I described in my previous post I found it is most probably not related to OTA update but to HW problem...
I found my Proximity sensor is possibly dead. How the phone behaves (regarding screen on/off) during making or pick-up the phone is non standard. I also tried several android apps that are checking all sensors available on the phone and I see activity from all sensors except Proximity .
Talked also with HTC support... I'm going to sent my DS to HTC service center
Wish all getting the OTA update to enjoy it - I will certainly do so after I get my phone is repaired.
cheers
Ferro.
Pressing the power button during call or afterwards should light up the display.
At least that's what happened with the previous software version.
I'm still convinced HTC messed something in the update.
I have the exact same issue.
Has there been any work arounds how to fix this problem.
Mine's is on O2, never been rooted. Just stock.
If all fail looks like I will have to wipe phone and start again
I've got this Samsung Focus on AT&T, the other day I decided to force the newest update. I made sure I had all the correct languages and everything. The update went through and most of the phone works. (cellular connection is indeed corruption, and I know about the fix for that.)
Basically what's happening is, the Phone liveTile shows the accumulated missed calls but when I tap on it, the animation freezes then goes back to the homescreen. I can call people through the People app or by using TellMe, and people can call me. I suppose the only thing I can't do is check to see who has called me.
Is this a known issue? Is there a fix? please let me know! as for the backup...
Apparently the backup I did got corrupted in some way, so there's no going back to that (the currently existing back up for some reason is after the update, though I haven't tried using it yet).
restart it. if doesn't work. reset the phone
Yeah, I definitely tried restarting it. I even ran the Samsung tools and that didn't fix anything (including my data issue... I tap on "cellular" in the settings and it doesn't open. ****e.) To modify a classic Bill Gates quote... "I guess that's why they're not shipping 8107 yet."
I think I have an old mango back up from the fall, but oh jeez, that's a lot of backtracking.
I'll keep refreshing this thread to see if any experts have any ideas for a little bit, after a while I'll just reset the phone I guess.
The phone app thing isn't a huge deal at the moment, but no cellular data?! How am I supposed to win arguments without a cellular data connection?
read the thread more carefully, and apply the correct updates - core os update is not enough...just read...please!
Bad update, you need correct language file, i had the same problem on my Titan... Phone live tile, in settings Mobile network etc doesnt work after bad update.

Will simple reapplying work perhaps? I mean, I'm pretty sure those are the only ones I needed, I did read the thread quite a few times.
Update reapplied and now it's working!!!!
Now I just need to figure out my internet sharing issue.
