update: problem solved by itself. I unplugged the phone without letting zune finishes it and all the functions become available after 5 minutes. texts are back, twitter is added after several attempts.
hello everyone
I just received a push notification of the mango update the second time this month. this time the update is really available for the unlocked t-mo unit that I use on ATT. since my pc does not have enough space to backup all the files I decided to go ahead without backing up anything in advance. the update went smoothly until at the final step of the second installment. zune now is being showing "step 9 of 9 completing updates" for half an hour now. looks like the UI on my phone is mango's and all the apps I had are there. but the contacts and text messages are missing. (I cant even open the text message hub) and the people hub is not functioning properly - no contact - no facebook except the several friends I pined to start are shown on main screen. a notification on DVP says the update is complete but zune is still at the final step. should I wait for a couple more minutes or just disconnect it? is there anyway I can recover my text messages if I lose them? I had some backed up on my pc like 2 months ago.
any advice or suggestion is appreciated! I'm waiting for your help now for an hour. thanks!

Was offered and got this this morning. Ok so far, but now 'LinkedIn for HTC Sense' reliably force closes on sync or changing its sync settings. Anyone else seen this? Uninstalled now anyway.
I think I got it from the HTC Hub, but can't find it now - maybe they know and pulled it??
Have a separate question but still related to the post. I received a notification for this update this morning. Currently running stock HTC sense but s-off by alpharevx and have superuser access using gingerbreak. Will i lose both features if i do the system update as some other posts of earlier updates indicate that the hboot gets updated.
Just restarted phone because of weirdness again - used to have to do it every 3 days or so.
This time SMS notifications suddenly started auto-clearing a few secs after they arrived. Now works again. Missed I'd got an important one too, meanwhile. Really bad this phone is less reliable doing basic phone stuff than a £10 plastic 'txt and talk' alternative. Maybe I should swap for one of those. At least they allow me to txt and talk reliably, and the battery will last ages :-(
I think it'll be back to Blackberry as soon as I can. Over a year to go :-(
Anyway, got 10days 4hrs 39min 55sec out of it this time without a reboot or hard crash. A record
(Sorry about the rant)

Happened again. SMS's appear in the message list as new IF I open the message list, but the notification behaviour breaks after some trigger yet to be discovered. Anyone else seeing this?
Hi,
this is a strange question and a bizzare event thats occuring but i am hoping someone will be able to clear this up for me.
Basically i have had troubles with battery life on my windows 7 phone, its a samsung omnia on the orange network in the uk. This has ONLY been an issue since i upgraded to the Mango update last wednesday.
What i am finding is that my emails are syncing every 30mins or so despite being set to manual update only. I added 3 email accounts to my phone each via the windows live account addition option, i set them to each manually update only and only sync email not contacts/meetings etc... the mad thing is the main acount that is used under my people contact and the main hotmail/live account that is in use with the phone itself seems to stick at only updating when i tell it to sync (i have to click the refresh style sync button within the email screen) however the other two accounts after about 12hours start to go haywire and whilst they start out by syncing manual as soon as i have synced them manually once, after this they just update whenever they want too (every 30mins it appears)... i have tried a reset of the phone and starting from scratch but again eventually this flaw just keeps occuring! over and over, no matter how many resets i do
Its a real pain to be honest, when i first updated to mango i did link all the accounts together as there is an option to band all your accounts into the single hotmail livetile on the homescreen, i changed this option and decided against it, trouble is i cant remember if this issue happened then, im still pretty sure it did, its almost like the other two accounts have a mind of their own, is there any explanation as to what this could possible be?
I have tried to a rollback of my current firmware but it ended up bricking my phone so now it has gone in for a repair under warrenty to samsung, maybe it could have been a dodgy install of mango from day one? as my friend updated and he has the same phone yet hasnt experienced this email flaw, but then again he only has two accounts on his phone
Could it be the manual option no longer works in mango update?
many thanks for reading and hope someone can help, many thanks
Did a forced update to mango a few months back, since then I have had a few issues with facebook not syncing correctly with my main facebook account (deleted friends still showing up etc.) and was told that a reset would probably fix it, so blindly i did it.
After the reset it looked different to before and on the phone in the about settings it shows as being windows phone 7.5, but dosent look like it did before mango, cant search for apps by pressing a letter ect as this isnt here, on zune it says im running version 7.10 (7740).
So been trying to update via zune and nothing is happening, anybody got any ideas ?

7740 is actually one version after Mango. The latest update that fixed some issues with Exchange 2003. So you're absolutely up to date. The reason why the alphabetical jump list is missing might be that you lack the minimum amount of apps installed. The jump list only shows up if you have more than 40 (or so) apps installed on your device.
That is Mango. You just can't search because you don't have the minimum required amount of apps for it to appear.
Cheers for the info pretty sure i hadnt installed over 40 apps before, but I never counted..
I have a problem with Emails on my Samsung Focus, 1.3 with Mango 7720 installed. The phone downloads emails normally. But after a couple of days, it would redownload all the emails. It is so frustrating to see it download 2k emails repeatedly. It takes time and I cannot do stuff in the meanwhile as the phone becomes superslow! I thought it was a one-off situation. But it has happened several times now. The phone is downloading messages as I type now!
Any solution? Please help.
Thanks.
Well, not so much a solution as a mitigation, but have you considered telling the phone to not download all 2000 messages? If nothing else, that much burn a lot of your phone's storage... I only keep up to two weeks of messages typically, and use server-side rules to keep the really chatty mailing lists out of my inbox (and I don't sync those folders on the phone).
It's even possible that it does the re-download because it keeps hitting some storage limit, wiping the files out, and then starting again (though that's a very basic guess).
Thanks for the reply. I preferred downloading the entire stuff as I am on a 2g connection(Wifi at home, so I use it mostly at home), and it is pathetically slow to download stuff if I were outside my house. I have changed the settings to download messages from the last month. Shouldn't be much of a problem now.
Just to be sure, is it one of the Email bugs that was resolved in the 7740 update? I am on 7720, and I want to update via cab method, but just don't know how to. Thanks again and have a good day.
Why don't you choose to download say only last two (or x) days of Email?
Maybe that's what I will do now. Anyway, I noticed that this was your first post. Welcome to xda
I got my new S22 Ultra a month ago..i installed whatsapp..it stucks during restoring chat history…but i overcome this problem by forcing stop the app during the restoring process ( a solution i found after reading many threads.. untill nw it works but um afraid one day everything is lost. Also it takes much time to save hundreds of stickers again)..then everthing is ok for a month till 30 september 2022.
Since 30 September 2022, My WhatsApp has been messing up pretty badly. Over the last five days I randomly (and this is true - no errant reboots, no app crashes, etc.) get the error message "Something went wrong with your chat history" on WhatsApp, which has a Restore option under the dialog box. This is practically useless as the progress bar never successfully completes, but even goes back at times.
This forces me to reinstall WhatsApp, and pray that I don't have to start with a new chat database again. Because it takes multiple attempts to get back on the app. And i can't restore hundreds of stickers. This plunges me into another time lag, as the app's verification put in progressively increasing wait times every time I reinstall.Why i got this message over last 5 days every morning???How can i solve it without taking the restore option as it took me 5 hours trying to restore chat history and stickers???I hope you response quickly..
I have tried many solutions: clearing cashe..turning airplane mode on and off..reset networks settings…turn the mobile on and off…unrestrict whatsapp from battery saver…remove the backup at google drive..close whatsapp from recent apps…during trying to solve the issue, i noticed one day that the error occurs during backup is being uploaded to google drive so i choose never to backup to google depending on the local backup but i unfortunatley woke up the next moring and the error occurs once it was searching for new messages.
Please help to retrieve a permanent solution specially as i found many people suffering from this for months in many threads...
Hi, you probably need to let the program fully restore the chat database... Can you leave restoring during night, for example, when your don't use the phone? Did you give the app the proper rights to access storage, etc?

I tried but it always stucks at different points and if i leave it, it fails ending to an old group chat history... although when i force stop the app, the chat history is back completely.
switch to Telegram
Better yet switch to Signal.
