[Q] Install WP7 on LG WP7 PreRelease verion?

Hello.
I bought a LG Windows Phone 7 Pre Release version that has the not final version of Windows Phone 7 installed.
The download of content via Marketplace is not possible.
I talk about the device is visible here: http://www.xda-developers.com/windows-mobile/lg-windows-phone-7-oem-apps-dumped-and-available/
Is it possible to install the actual/final version of windows phone 7 on this device?
Thanks

I also have this device (LG GW910). Current Firmwire version is 7003 (looks like a debug version, but stills fully functional), but zune hadn't founding any updates (i tell about yesterday's update).

if it is really build 7003 then it looks like the update will be for you to .
if you look inside the update then you will see that the build number 7003 is there to , so just wait a few day's and see if it work (the update is pulled by MS and will be re released later)

How did you watch inside? Using sniffer, i've downloaded 4127275_2c13fa19e584b0b758fd2c4396876559ba291b63.cab, which constains a txt file, but i didn't found anything useful there.

We all have build 7003 on our Panthers. I haven't gotten the update yet either. Unfortunately I think all we can do is sit and wait.

Mb carrier is blocking an update? About dialog says that my carrier is AT&T though i live outside USA, and my phone isn't locked (MTS' and Beeline's cards work well).

I was wondering about that, but I don't know. Since we're unlocked and unbranded, I thought we'd be the first to receive the update.
I guess a good question is, are there people out there with Samsung Taylor devices that also have no gotten it?

Looks like they've got an update, because there is no topics about it.
P.S. How to change my f*ing nickname?!

Good point, and I don't think you can change it.

look here "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=963431 "
it is a .cab and in that .cab are a few .cab.pku files (look at the name of the files and you will see what I mean)
to open the cab.pku you just remove .pku and then extract .

Same here, but now I'm having a huge problem. Everytime I slide out my keyboard, my screen dims to an unreadable level. I've never dropped it so I'm hoping that it's not a power cable problem.

I have a pre-release focus, it's unlocked and no branding it seems. When I check for an update on Zune it says my phone is up to date 7.0 (6512), but no....it's not up to date at all. I wonder if I will be able to update?

This dump is actually newer than the software on my phone. It's at 21.21.12 , I haven't been prompted for an update yet. I'm holding out in anticipation of Sunshine V3.0 to see if anything happens.

jcase has already stated that 3.0 is not intended to support Moto phones. I think it's for the HTC phones only. Not to say the Moto phones may unintentionally benefit from the update, nor that there isn't a "version 4.0" coming later on, so I agree with you on waiting to take any updates whatsoever. Please do post all over every Turbo forum thread if 3.0 works when it's released. I mean, borderline spam the entire forum to let people know, lol.
I was planning to wait to get the phone until an exploit is found, but with updates coming out-of-the-box it may not be long before the stock of phones at 21.21.12 are gone and stores start stocking the phone with 21.21.15 already installed, so I'll be getting a 64 GB tomorrow afternoon.
I find it very odd that there is no information online as far as what the .15 update affects (supposedly not the VoLTE update).

I rocked .12 for the first 8 hours, then finally updated to .15 - right after updating to .15 a number of updates not available previously in Play became available for the Camera app, looked to be darn near every Verizon app, and a few other tid-bits... only thing of real note was the Motorola Camera app getting an update that didn't exist prior.
The camera also showed better performance with the update, especially in the neighborhood of noise in shadows. As well, battery life seemed better, but that could be the phone getting a proper charge / battery level reading.

The 15 update fixed my IMS issues I was having. On 12 my IMS wouldn't register but on 15 it works flawlessly.

Try texting someone nearby. See how long it takes for you to receive a message. In my tests it took around a minute to receive a text without IMS and it took mere seconds with IMS.

The main reason I need IMS is at Badger football games at camp Randall, the legacy spectrum is over saturated and won't allow me to send SMS without IMS. The LTE network can handle it however.

Fm radio h955 is here

Thought I was being stupid when I couldn't get the radio to work on my h955 but it seemed that lg had not provided an app nor the capability. Radio update now available from lg. Tried it and it works very well. Not sure if everyone else knew about it or if peeps were waiting without knowing so I'm letting you all know.

Link?

Are you joking or what? Just look at Settings / General / About phone / Update Center / App Updates. There are 14 LG apps, FM Radio 4.40.14 is among them.

No not joking. When I first got my flex 2 the radio wouldn't work. I tried and tried but to no avail. I may not be able to write in programming language but I'm certainly not a dumbass as your tone denoted. I've been rooting and modding ever since I had my lg 2x (p990). The update is exactly where you said. Maybe it was firmware specific but I don't think I was the only one who had this problem and thought it would be nice to let others know. Anyways. . . . . no luck with bootloader still everyone or is flex 2 considered a dead horse?

Was your Flex in original factory condition at the same time?
Was your box sealed?
Or it was second hand phone tampered by previous owner?
(*) Wait, I take a look into LG-H955_GBR_UG_Web_V1.0_150319-1.pdf users guide and have found this: "FM radio - NOTE: This application may not be available depending on the region or service provider."
But in such situation I would expect that FM Radio will be missing in Settings / General / About phone / Update Center / App Updates too, in other words - forever.

I am sorry, but that's purely your interpretation, I don't want to say this. I was only really surprised how someone can say "but it seemed that lg had not provided an app nor the capability". That is like missing for example Camera apps or Camera capability which is mentioned too in phone specifications. But now I know that even this is possible in some regions by some service providers, see (*).

I didn't read any post about missing FM Radio app out of the box on Flex 2 so far.
Did you noticed the second post, asking for link? Your OP could be interpreted as if LG post FM Radio in Google Play for LG phones. It was reason for me to enter with my exact specification where you are able to install/update LG apps including FM Radio:

Mine was second hand but I factory reset it before I used it properly. When I tried to use the lg radio app which was already on the phone it wouldn't work. I deleted and reinstalled it but it still didn't work. I searched online to see if anyone else had a similar problem and some people stated that they couldn't use their radios either. I looked in the manual and found the same as you did that lg may not necessarily switch it on in some regions. I checked some 3rd party apps but no luck. Nothing would work so I assumed maybe mine was switched off and just listened to mp3 ect instead. Then an lg notification took me to update something else the other day and whilst doing so I spotted the radio app. As soon as I opened it I could tell that it was different from before ( an updated version I assumed ) and it worked awesome. I thought others should know. You're right, I should have said where I found it properly in my op sorry.

Some variants of the phone don't have FM radio. I think the H959 doesn't have it.

If I had a clue I would, but I don't
I suspect if you don't have the FM radio, the relevant hardware is not included although this is just a guess.

I have the ls996 and it does have an fm radio.
ls996 users have to use a third party fm radio app to use the hardware ( I verified this through the use of the NextRadio app )
though I can make use of the hardware by other means, I'm the type of person that likes to have something official from lg to tinker around with.

I run radio on LS996? No full-time program, which put the program to work FM radio?

Android 9/PIE update on S9+

I have successfully updated my S9+ to android 9 using Odin.I have used it for over a week now and the ONLY MAJOR issue is the inability to pair with my Samsung Galaxy S3 Frontier. I have several pictures of what Pie looks like on the s9+.

Oh and what about share some download link

Can confirm working on s9+
Only problems I've had is Bluetooth car phone calls apparently sound like garbage to the other person and when the phone call ends it doesn't tell my car it's ended and when it resumes music it sounds like someone putting sound dampening material on my speakers. I have to turn my Bluetooth off and on again and it's fixed.
Also popup view isn't working correctly. The X at the top where you can drag the popup to dismiss it won't leave until you stop the process which is just a quick restart for me.
The original post says dual cameras isn't working yet but it does for me. I have normal and telephoto buttons in the camera app.
WiFi calling also doesn't work. Nor does device care.
I also feel like my Sprint LTE slowed quite a bit. Nothing loads nearly as fast on data.

Well it's not really sold for 1000 ... It's about 700 on Amazon. I bought mine for 600... In a year's time it will go for 500...refurbished 400 yet I don't think any X's will sell under a 1000....
still s9+ is not to be played with unstable Android from xda... It never will work as factory intended...
Anyone wanna play with Android's, buy xiaomi or oppo...
Anyhow, if u hold s9+ in hand vs xs, iPhone easily satisfy double the worth....
As I mentioned I feel hugely let down by Samsung's camera no matter what anyone reviewer say... Android is for geeks, iPhone is for people who want a dependable credible high a quality phone that no Android touches.... End of story
