Hey guys!
I have to admit I'm completely lost here and I'm in need for some help. I recently started working for a company that do translation and checks the quality of these (which is my job). However, they use a database to send mass emails, and the first one to answer gets the job. The problem, and it's not a new one, is that most of the time I don't get instant notifications for my mails (I had to wait 40 minutes yesterday before getting a notification which made me miss that job). Was a solution, a real one, ever discovered?
Also, I have a 64Gb Mocha Brown Mate 8 on which I loaded the international Mate 8 software. How can I update from C900B133? I tried a couple of months ago but I think I did something bad and had to come back on the B133. Could you please give a step-by-step guide on how to do it? (or give me the links for the incremental upgrades I need to download).
Thanks a lot guys! Have a great day!

To solve your email notification issues, add your email app to the protected app list in the battery manager. As for updating the firmware, I do not know.
Hi!
That's the first thing I did, mind you. It is impossible to do for Gmail, but it is considered as a system app, but I did it for inbox and TypeApp which are the two other mail clients I tested. They all had the same behaviour and I still don't have any notification. I guess I'm just doomed till I change phones which is probably going to be next year ...
Strange, I use Inbox as my main mail cliënt and it has never missed a notification. Then again I do have the European Variant.
For eveyrone looking for a solution, I installed TWRP, rooted my phone and followed this guide. I've been getting live notifications since then. I didn't see any difference in battery life after disabling doze so I'm super happy.

Apparently, the official update for the T-Mo USA HD7 is available now. I'm eager to get it, but I have one question. Do you lose any saved data on the phone? (Like Pics, emails, messages, multimedia, etc). Not really worried about the other stuff, but I can't lose the txt message because I need to keep them for legal reason. With no SMS backup utilitie for WP7 I'm just stuck in the mud.
Kept all my text messages...
Well I need more proof...More people reply please.
It does a full backup as step 6 or 7... backs up every bit of the data. The less you have on your phone the better because it will be faster. It took me about 50 minutes but it will back everything up.
oh ok, downloading now.
Ok, nvm. It backs up all data...Even my settings. Nice job MS.
Everything that was on my phone before the update is still there after.
Yeah thats one thing MS nailed with the update. The backup backs up EVERYTHING which rocks.
I was pleased to find everything in-tact and the majority of my issues fixed.
Hopefully Mango will be a bit more timely.
At this point I'm ready to fully place the blame on at&t, as all it took was unbranding my device to get the update delivered. I'm used to having to wait on carriers and manufacturers to update their software and relying on the hacking community to have reliable updates.
I came to WP7 from a samsung android phone, after all
Hello all, I have a couple questions about the WP7.8 Sianto Edition for the HTC Arrive. I have the Sprint Arrive and am considering putting this rom on my phone. First I would like to know if anyone knows what kind of unlock it has, if any. Also, does the USB Tethering work in the 1.6 for the Arrive? I see it listed for the 1.6.1 for the 7 Pro..
And does anyone have any input on how reliable this rom is? I am looking for forward to the 2.0L that is said to be coming soon. As of late my phone has gotten so slow and my data connection speed is terrible lately. It seems every week it gets worse and I am having many apps just crash to the home screen and apps that rely on the data like radio apps just take forever to even open now. My wife has this same phone on the same network and hers is not having any of these issues.
Thanks for your replies.
Anyone know? Planning to download the rom tomorrow but want to know about the unlock first. I have yet to HSPL my phone but will when I have all my questions sorted out.
Hi mate!
Concerning the slow speeds, if you upgraded your phones memory by swapping the sd card, the two can be related (for example, my youtube videos are very sluggish while streaming). I Have an international 7 pro (no carrier branding) and it's been 10 months since my last hard reset (when I upgraded the memory from 8 to 32 gigs) and i am also experiencing very slow load times, but I don't know about the apps crashing. Data loading is also a bit slow on my side (on some apps while refreshing) but internet explorer just works fine.
But I remember the phone working just fine right after the memory upgrade, so my guess is that constantly adding and erasing apps and files like videos, music and pictures are kind of messing up the responsiveness of the system.
PS: Sorry for my response not being specific enough to your case. I didn't want to reply at first but since the 7 pro forums aren't much populated lately, I thought that my idea on the subject could help.

thanks for your reply, i was starting to think i wasnt getting one! lol but yea my phone is very slow compared to my wifes phone and has been since i got it. before the mango update it was laggy just scrolling on the Start screen. im hoping it is just the ROM that came on the phone, so thats partly why i want to update to the 7.8.. also i want the unlock benefits, but i cant seem to find if the Sianto ROM is unlocked or not.

For one, yes, the Sianto ROM IS unlocked.
And for another, the first time I loaded the Sianto ROM on my phone, it was at v1.4, I believe. After going through the steps, my phone was it's fastest ever, and I loved my phone even more than when I had first gotten it. Things were great for about a week, until tragedy struck: an app I installed from the Bazaar marketplace while at school basically bricked my phone. So, I borrowed a friends phone, let people know I would be incommunicado, and waited out the day. When I got home, I immediately came here to XDA, and tried to remember which ROM I had loaded, but wasn't able to get the same computer I had originally used. I remembered Sianto's name, but then saw ansar's ROM, and decided to try that one.
Long story fairly short: I switched back to Sianto after about a day, and haven't looked back since.
I don't know about USB tethering, but the internet sharing works in v1.6, and I especially like that Digital Power was added to the Settings. Every time I flashed my phone before, I had to reinstall Digital Power, but not with this version!
All in all, I wholeheartedly recommend Sianto v1.6, and I know that when v2.0L comes out, I'm definitely going to flash it.
Hope I helped.

Thanks for your reply! That's exactly the response I was looking for! Glad to know that it is unlocked and that you got a performance boost out of it. I get internet hooked up on Monday so I will be downloading and flashing around then!
Thanks again

No problem, hope everything goes well. Let us know how it turns out! :good:
Guys,
Incase you didn't know, doesnt appear to be common knowledge yet, but i just had a tip off, checked updates and low and behold, an update is available.
Im carrier unlocked, so it may be a while coming to you, but keep checking.
Strangely about still reports OSversion is 80.10211.204?
On the face of it, it appears to be a quite a big release, after installing and restarting a couple of time, you get presented a 'migrating data' screen, in all takes 10 minutes from starting the install.
Whats changed...?
Well i dont know yet, still installing, but thought id give you all the heads up.
Will report back when installation has finished.
Ciao.
Interesting find! Receiving the update as well now (unbranded). Makes me curious as of what might have changed.
Strange, but the "Windows Phone 8 update history" on microsoft site nows nothing about this update.
UPD:
Some Sina Weibo account could be added.
If you read OP message carefully, OS is not updated. It is probably just a HTC firmware update. Not a WP8 OS update.
Well it isn't an os update, so its from htc, as to what its done i don't know. I didn't note my firmware version before updating so i cant tell you lol. Device feels faster but probably placebo effect. Anyone notice anything?
Sent from my Windows Phone 8X by HTC using Board Express
Update
Both Firmware & bootloader versions have changed.
FW updated from 20003.111 to 20005.111
Bootloader from 0.0.1532.20(159895) to 0.0.1532.20(162966)

Contacted HTC support today, no changelog, they dont know (or wouldnt say) whats been updated, they said to contact MS for info, which ive now done.
Be interesting to know what else has changed.
I noticed this as well as I am always checking for updates in the hope some amazing new features will be added to WP8, wasn't unfortunately, as mentioned above a firmware update and rom loader version update.
Phone seems faster but we are all probably imagining that!
Any information on what this update contains would be appreciated
A little extra boost on battery life would be nice, not that my 8X has a bad life, but its not the best ever.
Hi
My 8X Just back from technical support and as already the new bootloader version (0.0.1532.20(162966)
It seem now i can't flash via Goldcard method! :crying: (i can't unbrand it this time!)
And after reset there is a gears turning during 5 mn on screen! I Never See This Before....
IF YOU WANT TO UNBRAND YOUR 8X DO NOT UPDATE NOW.
My batterylife seems to be better - my device would get pretty hot while using Whatsapp or reading pdf files or things like browsing, but not anymore since this OTA update!
One thing I have noticed, is that the phone sometimes has a 1-2 second delay after tapping the Back key. so sometimes I press back twice because the phone didn't seem to response to the first tap but it did in fact, so I double tap out of an app which is pretty annoying. But if thats all, well, I'll just use the windows button instead haha.
Anyone noticed that under Advanced (Wifi) you have the ability to let the phone detect your location for better wifi re-connection? At least I didn't notice this option before the patch. Pretty sweet! Doesn't seem to impact my battery too much, I usually finished the day with 25%, now I still have around 50-60%. Might be placebo, but it makes me smile when I see other people running for powersockets with their iPhones/Androids
Hi,
I have an HTC from USA AT&T, I have firmware: 1532.20.10009.502 and bootloader: 0.0.1532.20(156201),
Why this numbers are far enought from the one you are saying and when I look for updates it say it is updated.?
Well, the device is certainly booting faster, so that is a big :highfive: in my book
Is this update on Verizon.
Check the volume guys, same as Lumia 800. Restricted
Haven't received anything yet! Unbranded 8x here! Are they distributing this one by country or what?
Just had update here on O2 UK...
Only difference I have seen so far is a Hearing Damage Warning when putting the volume over 20 when listening to music....to be fair, mine never actually hits more than 15....

well, I had the update two days ago. The volume is not restricted, just that now when you turn it up above 20/30 while playing media content, it will give you a message about blasting your eardrums out. Probably they forgot to include that before as the 8X is quite capable of high volume output. Just some legal precautions. Other than that, it's just a FW and boot loader update from HTC side, not from MS.

i don't know how they decide which devices get the update, but it isn't depending on Country as my father got the update 3 days ago and i'm still with the 20003 Firmware
but as Long we don't Need to wait too Long i think it is acceptable

Hello everybody,
First time posting but great job with all the advice given on this forum.
I recently bought a BLU Pure XL phone online (not sure I can post where I bought it from). When I was playing around with it, I found some ringtones that go on for about 30 seconds and have names like turkish_music or persian_wow_music. This is my second BLU device and I can recognize some ringtones also present on my other phone (Life One), and their naming is, for example, HalfwayHome and the length of those is not more than 10 seconds. I have screenshots if this would help, but again I am not sure if I am allowed to post them and I would like some guidance on how .
I was wondering if they are part of the default ROM or if someone was using my phone before I purchased it, because I only bought the specific one that was listed as new. Do they exist on anyone else's phone as well?
I was offered a free exchange but I would like to make sure the phone is not new before I proceed, since this will probably involve paying the shipping costs, and having to wait for the new phone to arrive. Is there a definite way to find out if the phone was used before I got it? I have searched for hours upon hours and also tried all the relevant secret codes but most of them didn't even open the respective menu they were supposed to open.
I would much appreciate your help or your view on this.
Thank you

I can assure you those are the default international ringtones you speak of. If you factory data reset the phone, you will still see the same ringtones. I personally would visually inspect the phone along with its packaging to ensure it is new and not used. Good luck!

There are no visible marks on the phone or the box. I just was thrown off by the existence of those ringtones. No other data/apps or anything else exists on the phone. I already tried resetting and they are still there so I guess you must be right. Do you have the international version as well? Are those ringtones present in yours as well?

I honestly wouldn't worry about it then. I bought my phone from Amazon here in the USA. I am 100% positive it's brand new and I have the same ringtones. I wouldn't exchange the phone for that reason alone. I had to exchange my first one since it had a small screen defect. My second one the fingerprint sensor started acting up. I'm on my third one and (knock on wood) it's been perfect. I've had it for over two months now. All three phones had the same ringtones. I personally think it's cool how it has such a variety of ringtones.

Thank you very much for your reassuring answers. :good: I hope that your 3rd is the charm. I also think it's cool to have lots of ringtones. I may even have some more on it in the near future. Oh well, for now, let's get comfortable with the new phone first

Anyone use this app with 6.0+? I believe there is an issue in Android 6.0 that will delay or even in some cases not send the message at all. It's either that or Huawei.
I was using a Huawei P9 Plus (amazing phone!) and thought maybe, just maybe it was an issue do to it being an international phone... I ended up using a HTC M8 (terrible, terrible phone!) for a few weeks and it worked fine with Andorid 4.2. Huawei just released the Honor 8 and it has the same issues as the P9 did. Ugh!
Their customer support is hit & miss. Tech support has been working on this with me since June 18th and I can tell they are getting frustrated but come on... I have done everything they've asked me to do and only get replies if I ask for an update. I have to constantly unlink and relink the phone/app/PC - even then it is sporadic.
At this point I am also looking for an alternative to message/SMS from a Windows PC to a smartphone. Individually in groups of 20 or so in some cases. That said, MightyText does everything I need it to do, when it works.
Thanks for any help!

Wondering if you ever got any assistance on this. I basically have to link and unlink my OnePlus 3 every time I want to use MightyText.
No, worst customer support ever. They don't care. It's gotten better with my Mate9 on 8.0 but still glitchy.
