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?
Sent from my T7575 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

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

1. Downgrade to 7004 or 7008 (help to you this topic): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1013810
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] MS says 7392 update only for samsung focus v1.4

The update schedule for WP7 on the Microsoft link states that the 7392 update is only for the AT&T samsung focus v1.4 only.
What is the reason for that??
cant post link... but you can check the update schedule on microsoft windows phone website

Your wording is not correct. It is saying that it is only DELIVERING to 1.4. All devices will receive all updates (except firmware specific updates). When Mango is released, all 1.3 devices will receive 7392 as well.

This is the difference between Android & WP7. All WP7's will get the updates for as long as they are still supported. Of course at some point an old devices will become unsupported officially, but all current WP7's will get Mango at least.

7392 Is only for Samsung Focus v1.4

Focus ver. 1.3 is set to get the update on Tuesday, ver. 1.4, which seems to give even Samsung heartburn wont. They are scheduling the ver. 1.4 for completion by the end of Oct. You'll get the update, just a little later sorry to say.

yep. still interop issues. until we solve those, no luck with much. sure would like to see something released, what with htc locations sucking, being expensive, and mia on wp8. with the new engineering info that was dumped hopefully we can see something before TOO long, but i'd expect it to be a while.

or maybe never.... they already announced it in June of last year and they said MAYBE.... and also manufacturers choice, not ours.... So if HTC would like it we already would have it on our phones..... I hope I'm wrong...

Android 9 Pie update for Nokia 7 ?

Is this phone getting the Pie update ?
On the Nokia forums, some mention that there's an internal beta but no evidence is provided.
Does anyone know anything about this or have any evidence that Nokia is planning on released an update ?

Yes, it is under active development and it will be released. None of the CN phones have received Android Pie yet because the CN ROM has to include all the customization. Wait for it

Haven't the 7 Plus, 6.1 and 6.1 Plus already received the Android Pie update in China ?
Also Nokia has rolled out an external Beta for the Nokia X7 (released this year).
Still no news released about the Nokia 7 though.
Unless there's evidence behind your claim, i think it's highly doubtful ?
For now we can assume that Android Pie support for the Nokia 7 has been dropped.

None of the Nokia phones in China have received stable Android Pie yet. All under active development. You are right about X7.

I saw beta post. Beta version for nokia 7...... Maybe it will relsed in next month

For nokia 7 its a long term process maybe we wait more next year

Yeah, with android one, you would assume timely delivery of updates.
IOS updates are generally phased within a few days regardless of geographical differences.
Nokia just made a false pledge. Receiving the pie update for China variants months later is no different from Samsung releasing an update 1 year later.

Yeah, recently there was also some speculation that Nokia was delaying updates to boost sales of the latest devices. It's not been confirmed but i think there's some merit to that e.g. How is it that the Nokia X7 has a public beta of pie before the Nokia 7 despite the latter being released an entire year before ? The dev team were likely instructed to prioritise the latest devices for strategic reasons from marketing.
Whatever the reason behind it, they've failed to communicate any delays in development and didn't stick to their word. Their silence is complicity towards a false pledge.
I guess when it comes to android development, we just shouldn't get our hopes up.

I've installed pie update and performed a factory reset. Everything went ok however I'm having an issue with contact sync; neither stock contacts application or Google contacts are able to sync my contacts, also I am not able to install Google+ either from playstore or using APK from apkmirror.
I've had to import my contacts to phone from an exported VCF file from Google contacts.
Any idea on how to make contact sync to work?
Thanks
