Optimus 7 mango?

Will the optimus 7 get the mango update or not?
or if it does, will it be slow?
like how the 3gs getting the iOS 4 update is slow?

It will as the hardware capabilities allows it and the "mango" update has basically updates on functions nothing on the core, besides not all WP7 has been sold (as some of them are expensive like the optimus 7) still waiting on the shelves
i think you need to be patient and be part of this pioneering same as happened with other OS
peace

So, it is getting the mango update then?
would the specs be too low for mango?
and what about the other first launch wp7 phones?

Of course it will get Mango, it's just an update. If anything, it depends on your carrier to screw you over or not. And it should run just fine, since WP7 has some very strict hardware requirements that pretty much every device meets perfectly.
It's just a matter of waiting for it to arrive

Mango beta 2 is already available for the Optimus 7.
Also, Mango actually give a nice speed bump-up to current devices.

LG & Mango
Mango works great by following instructions from this site:
Im not able to link any links here so lets do it this way just copy paste and change ** off
h**p://windowsphonehacker.com/articles/get_the_mango_update_now._without_being_a_developer.-06-30-11
Installed that last night and there isnt much change but chevron ringtone thing is not working anymore, but ringtones is still there.

re-lock LG Optimus 7 from mango update
hello, after upgrading my LG Optimus 7 to mango beta, phone blocked, ie not running homebrew applications, I can not unlock it by MFG, has anyone a solution?
Yours

After Mango Beta 2 upgrade, I just used MFG the same as normal to unlock. I haven't tested to see if the unlock worked, I just assumed that since the registrys updated sucsessfully, that it is good.

I think the updates are for Mango RTM only. Correct me if I am wrong

Nice! Just got the HTC Arrive!

So I got it and I'm very happy with it. What are the first things I should do?

When you've setup all your accounts?
First thing to do would be to get it syncing with Zune on the PC, that'll also pull down any updates that are outstanding.
Then I went ahead and started installing all the apps that I'd researched prior to buying - ones I use daily are:
BBC News Mobile
Weather4Me
Amazon Kindle
Turn-by-Turn Navigation
Night Stand Clock Lite
HTC Youtube (is WAY better than the standard app)
To be honest, Windows Phone requires so little by way of setting up that you can probably safely start playing around with the settings, setting up live tiles/bookmarks in the browser, and generally making it your own!
I was pretty much done setting mine up within 2 hours...

For the YouTube app I'd look at either SuperTube or LazyWorm's YT app. Both have their merits. LazyWorm's seems to have the faster interface, but SuperTube has downloading of videos for offline playback.

Can't say I've tried anything beyong HTC's YouTube app, it works perfectly well and as a bonus even has a resume function so you can start where you left off..
One thing I did forget to say: Don't forget to setup security! A SIM PIN and device lock code are always recommended, and also, check out http://windowsphone.live.com where you can track, lock, and ring your phone if it gets lost or stolen.

The Arrive is CDMA, there is no sum.

Err? I presume you mean SIM, in which case I wouldn't know, but I'd assume there would be some alternative security measure.
It's generally good advice for the significantly larger number of GSM phones though. The Arrive is also not the only version of the 7 Pro

2. Unlock device with Chevron (point 6): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1143999&highlight=unlock
3. Now update to Mango RTM 7720: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1215501&highlight=chevron
4. And now you can use device.

Reading through all the links you posted, none of this will help unlock a HTC Arrive since there is no Pre NoDo rom for the Arrive. Unless I am missing something. :/
The best thing aside from unlocking for now (which will be coming post nodo for what $19?) is to upgrade to the Mango Beta.

Hmm, but what is this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1142120 ? This is NoDo for Arrive or not ?
BTW install HSPL: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16189671#post16189671 and install customROM 7713: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1205111

You need a pre NoDo rom for the Chevron unlock you posted. There are none for the Arrive since it was released with NoDo installed.
The HSPL link specifically states that it does not support the HTC Arrive. Do not try it on an HTC Arrive or you could mess it up:
This release does NOT support these WP7F devices:
*GoldC (Arrive)
*SparkW (Trophy Verizon)
These devices are not supported because they are missing at the current moment in DFT team. Please don’t even try to use this release with them – it may brick your phone or make it unusable.

Yes, you right. I forgot about DFT not support Arrive.

What is wrong with the people on here? You don't NEED to jailbrake the thing, and if you do what the hell did you buy it for!?

[Q] Unlock/Jailbreak A HTC Radar?

Hi, I'm new with windows phone 7. I just got myself a HTC Radar, been looking around on how to actually install Homebrew apps or things like that. I did not manage to get anything to work even with ChevronWP7.
Is there any other alternatives?

I'm on Windows Phone 7.5 Mango i guess. I'm not sure how to check but the other time i bought the phone i asked the guy he said its Running on Mango.

Check by opening Settings->About. There should be written Windows Phone 7.5.
If you're on mango there is no way to fully unlock WP7.5. However you can use the new ChevronWP7 or get a Apphub account. Are you a student?

And yes i checked the settings like you said. It says Windows Phone 7.5.

Did you use the latest chevron unlock at
http://labs.chevronwp7.com/
It's 9$ and let's you use 10 unsigned apps.

Why did you ask him if he was a student?
Any idea of when more Chevron tokens will be available?

^ If you are a student, you can get a free student developer unlock, which normally costs $99 a year. No news from the Chevron team on tokens yet.

^Any links to how I can get that unlock?

There IS No Way too Full Unlock the 2nd Generation Of HTC WP7 till now

GDR2 Bugs Fixed

I had recently updated my HTC 8X (Unlocked) to GDR2. But I got the freezing issue when I played music.
I got a new update today which has apparently fixed the bug.

Too bad I have the bell version and will probably not see the update for a long time

I hear they took it out on pretty well every model.
TBH, microsofts update model sucks. It still goes through the carriers and some models will never receive updates (or never receive them until months after other models/carriers... Like Portico for Bell, getting it months after rogers.)

Guys, Data Sense is part of GDR2 but it depends on your carrier if you see it on your phone. Thats been said about 100k times. Thats what Microsift wrote in the update description.
AFAIK most european carriers dont suppprt it. =P

Or US model, or Canadian model...
So which mythical models support it?

Who is talking about 'models'? Its not about phone models.
It's about your carrier. If your carrier supports it you will see it on your phone with GDR2. If your carrier doesnt you dont see it.
If in doubt ask your carrier.

But can we plz stay on topic? Its about the latest update which came out yesterday. Can somebody plz check the numbers i posted?

Regardless, not one carrier (carrier's "model" i.e. - different carriers versions may have different capabilities) I have heard of included it yet (I think people on wpcentral with unbranded "models" didn't even get it.)
I was under the impression that Microsoft were not going to get strong-armed by carriers, like Bell getting portico months after rogers.
Also, talking about a feature being left out IS talking about the update.

This is about the update AFTER GDR2. I had it for weeks. Still there was another update today. HTC 8Xs had some troubles and this 'after GDR2 update' seems to fix the issues (like the overheating of the sound chip).
Please fin youself a thread about GDR2 not one for updayes to it. And for your information. This is not about 'bullying' - Data Sense like Visual Voice Mail depends on technology employed by the carrier. It is part of the update. And yes i do t know any carrier who uses it. But if you are from Europe i can by now confirm you wont see it. Please ask your carrier about when or if they will deploy Data Sense.
Cheers
Free
