[Q] internet sharing over wifi for older HTC Mango Devices [HD7,Mozart, etc.] - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've seen that wifi internet tethering/sharing is supported on mango devices and its actually available on the new HTC phones like TItan. Also, I've seen on the deployment section of this forum that people have figured out how to enable this on older wp7 phones from Samsung. How can this feature be enabled on older HTC phones running Mango, such as HD7 or mozart? I've been waiting for this feature forever.. If its available on Titan, which is from HTC, running the same Mango OS that I have on my HD7, why cant it be enabled on HD7?

i heard that we have to wait for hardware update.

HTC announced that it will release a firmware update in the future that enable tethering.

but when? mango's here, new mango phones are here... when will the firmware/hardware update be herE? and how would we know? would it pop like like the software update notification on the phone?

I just received a HTC Update a day after I updated to Mango 7720 from 7712 (Developer unlocked HD7) but there is no internet sharing option. I wonder what that htc update was for?

i tried the xap from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1238519
i got internet sharing option under Settings on my phone. But upon turning it on, i get an error message saying there's something wrong with the settings.
I cant post on that thread coz i'm a newbie here. Can anyone help resolve this?

Instead of creating a new thread, you could have simply followed the already existing thread of enabled IS.
They are working on it, for every phone, so just sit tight and wait for them to do so. Subscribe to the thread if you have to, but its most definitely being worked on.

thanks for the update.. i am following those threads... just that i'm a new member, so i'm not allowed to reply to those threads... hence i'm posting here

Hello, I cannot find the topic you're talking about. I have HTC 7 Pro, 7.10.7720.68, open market. When will I receive update enabling internet sharing or is there any unofficial way to enable it? I am forced to use my old WM6.1 device to do internet sharing from 3G to bluetooth to PC, but I want to use my Windows Phone!
Thanks.

rumour HD7 could support share feature.

Internet Sharing is working on my Trophy...
Cheers!

does anyone have the actual link directly to the mozart 51007 CAB?

Can this update be installed over-the-air, or I must connect the phone to a PC?

I've had no verified report of anybody with a windows mobile device
ever recieving any data from the windows update on wm
YES Unlike windows for PCs MS has never given any update to WM
may be due to many many different builds of roms and many many devices
i always wondered if it could actually work if microsoft had to push some deathly important security fix out...

[Q] Mango/NoDo Email Reply Not Including Original

Greetings:
I have searched high and low on many forums and boards for more info on this and not found much so here goes;
I use my WP7 phone for work (I have the HTC Trophy and am on Verizon). I am connected to an exchange server and everything works great EXCEPT email replies; the original email text is NOT included and needs to be especially for work. Reviewing other threads across the web it seems this is normally enabled.
I checked with VZW second tier support and supposedly this feature is turned off on the Trophy. Fine, so I dug around, found an obscure WM6.5 reference to a registry key, poked around my NoDo registry and by trial and error was able to enable it by adding this;
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings
Value Name – IncludeOriginal
Value Type – Integer
Value Data – 1
Works great. Now, I am a registered dev and went to upgrade to Mango 7712and did everything possible I could think of (and yes, I know the provxml methods and able to edit my reg in Mango) but I can not get this back no matter where or what reg edit. I also came across someone else on T-Mobile that had this feature enabled on NoDo and went to the Mango RTM and now it does not work.
So, did Mango break this completely? Anyone looked at this on Mango or have any idea what reg key needs to be hacked on Mango?
P.S. This thread might be better in the dev/hack board but I am a Noob.
Digging around some more and need feedback; does the provxml reg edit for Mango on the VZW CDMA Trophy 7 work under any circumstances? It appears it is but it may also be keeping the provxml edits I make at the mid-step point in the Mango process (applied at the 7403 rev before proceeding to 7712). I make the provxml edits in Nodo using the older HTC Connection Setup (new rev does not work as described somewhere else). I then use it again at the 7403 step but have to switch to the new rev on 7712 (old no longer runs). Once I run the new rev HTC connection in Mango I can launch TouchXplorer and am unlocked. I can do all the same provxml processes (email new CustClear.provxml, copy, move, etc) but I am not positive edits are being made. But if my previous edits are kept (which all appear to be) why does my IncludeOriginal key not carry over?
Another note; it appears the main location in NoDo for this hack was HKLM (found using Reg Editor) and not in the HKCU like WM6. Looking at Mango registry dumps this is now in HKCU; is there more restrictive access to HKCU on the CDMA Mango or any version of WP7? I added a HKCU hack to the provxml at all steps just to have it there but did no good.
This brings up a good question - can you edit HKCU the same way as HKLM? I also see the key location I am after moved from Default.hv to User.hv when going from NoDo to Mango; does the provxml work on the whole registry or just the Default hive?
P.S. I have built a process to even get to where I can have TouchXplorer run on the CDMA device from a lot of other threads in this forum and greatly appreciate having everyone's knowledge to use. Thanks!
I am going to add this to the Dev and Hack board.
Odd.. Mine does reply w original text since 7004..
Sent from my LG Optimus 7
I'm having the very same issue. Am using my Dell Venue Pro to connect to my work email, via an Exchange server.
Problem exists in Windows Phone 7, but also in Mango Beta 2. The emai threads show up on my phone when I'm typing a reply, but the recipients don't see them, which often leaves them not knowing what my reply emails are aout.
For now, I'm working around the issue by forwarding emails back tot hem and comenting in the top section.
Would greatly appreciate any help that could be offered to resolve this.
I'm having exactly the exact same problem. It begun with the installation of Mango beta 1. Today I got the official Mango 7720 and the problem is still there. I'm connecting to an Exchange 2003 SP2 infrastructure. I've deleted my account on the phone and create it back and the issue is still there.
Have someone found a solution for this one?
No news on getting this to work (and I have tried, trust me!)...eraffone even mentioned to have this issue. This is not good and I even sent a request to "the phone" at MS about this and got no answer to as why (he did say he would look into it but that was many weeks ago; I have pinged him twice since with nothing).
I am curious to see what MS puts on their compatibility page for comparing WP7 versions with EAS versions and what is and is not supported (but I am guessing this one is a bug or an oversight).
Anyone on the forums having better luck with this using EAS 2007 or higher? This pisses me off and I am NOT upgrading (and down the road who knows what I will end up doing)
WP7 & Exchange 2003
I will also send a request to the "The Phone" with the issue maybe the more noise we make the better chance we have of getting a fix.
I was really banking on that official 7.5 (mango) release would fix this issue. We can't be the only ones who have Exchange 2003 on there corporate networks.
If anyone gets any new information please share it with us.
Thanks
Eric
GO VOTE ON WP7 - this issue is there!!!!

Same problem here Started with Mango Beta... My customers are getting confused when they reply to an email several time and I respond with a yes or no they have no idea what I am responding to.
This is a severe deal breaker for me, enough to make me switch back to Android. I have to be able to reply to e-mails without breaking the entire chain or I might as well just get another device.
Everyone vote up the WinPhone Feature Suggestion here:

Odd, we have exchange 2010, i have a surround with Mango on it... works fine. Are you using the official released mango? I never had to do any edits. 3 others at work with trophies have no issue either.
Yea, that is odd because mine has done it sine 7004 too.... using LG Quantum - updated to 7720 - and it still does it.

I don't know what version of exchange my company is using right now (they are a big enterprise shop) but I'm almost positive it didn't used to do this. They are however migrating to Exchange 2010 so maybe it will go away for me. This is still a huge issue though.

[Q] [ Q ] HTC HD2 "LEO" Activating Live without Chevron?

Hello, I'm new here.
I recently changed my HTC HD2's OS to Windows Phone 7, I tried using the Marketplace and received the "we need an activation code error".
I contacted Microsoft received my 25 digit key and proceeded to try this:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10566003
Sadly my phone doesn't download the Chevron Certificate as it should. I do know that it was discontinued but I decided to give it a try still. After much fighting and even downloading an official certificate installer, I gave up.
Now I searched through the forums and I see that the version I installed ( 7592 or Mango ) doesn't need to be unlocked in order to use the Marketplace. From there I deduct I won't need an activation code then... Why is it still asking me for it?
My question is, can I enter the code I received from Microsoft without worrying it'll be rejected because the phone isn't unlocked? Do I still need to install the Chevron Certificate? If so, how?
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I use a HTC HD2 as well but I have no idea regarding your actual WP7 problem.
Why did you change to WP7?
I changed from WM6.5 to Android and since then I am very satisfied using the HD2 with Android OS.
Did you already try to use Android on your HD2?
If not, try it out...... ;-)

A noob in HTC Trophy

Hi guys, I a newbie in HTC trophy. I'll receive my trophy maybe next week but I real noob in Windows Phone 7. I just want to ask some things like:
1. Is it possible to unlock Windows Phone Mango on HTC trophy?
2. How do I install .xap files? because I found some interesting apps here at XDA
I hope you can answer my question guys
It's possible to dev-unlock any Windows phone. However, unless you have a student email account, odds are that you'll have to pay a little.
$99 to MS at http://create.msdn.com (also lets you submit apps to marketplace).
Free but otherwise almsot the same at http://dreamspark.com (requires student).
$9 and no app submission at http://labs.chevronwp7.com (when available).
Alternatively, you can check the forum for your phone here at XDA-Devs, and try to find a pre-NoDo ROM (build 7004 or 7008). Then you can use ChevronWP7 Unlocker (details are on the Development and Hacking forum). However, I'm not sure if a ROM that old for the Trophy is available. Certainly if it's a Verizon (CDMA) Trophy, the earliest you're likely to get is 7389, which won't work for the hack used by Chevron Unlocker (not to be confused with Chevron Labs above - same people, different technique).
