Mango update now live!


Recommended Posts

Got my update on my samsung focus. Boy howdee does it bootup quick! 3g access/signal detection also seems better. I get 2 bars instead of edge at work now.

It also seems they decreased animation times, so things navigate quicker.

The OS is pretty nice, I agree. However, I haven't seen a single phone design I truly like so far. :/

This has been my issue too. The Samsung Focus is probably the closest, but I'm extremely wary of Samsung WP7 phones.

For people not getting it yet:

try that out and see if it works.

Hm... I'll give it a shot.

Question though for anyone that might know. What in the world is build 7403? This is the first I'm hearing of it...

And I also like this line from the 7403 install window in Zune: "Because updates are cumulative, when you install the latest update, you'll also get all the previous updates we've released if your phone doesn't have them already"... Is that why I have to install 3 separate updates? LMAO I love Microsoft, but that's not what cumulative means...

I'm installing that now, I assume that is the update that had to be installed before the Mango beta to provision the phone, that's why if you didn't have the Mango beta you're getting it now.

The Mango installation took a really long time and the phone's been stuck on the penultimate step restarting the phone for at least 15 minutes. Is this normal?

Ah, I was just being impatient. The restart step has just completed and it's on the final step now. I guess I should have expected such a big update to take a while but the lack of a progress indicator can lead to nervousness.

Ooh, my phone says Success! and I have Mango :)

Yeah, Wikipedia just lists it as an unknown update. Mine went right to installing 7720 after updating to 7403.

Yeah, that had me scratching my head as well. The odd thing is that when they are talking about service packs for Windows, they actually use the term correctly!

Mine has as well, downloading it now.

I'm curious about something in your sig: what exactly is the difference between the model of HD7 you have and the one I have here in the US (other than the 3G frequencies since I'm on T-Mobile here)? You have yours listed as "O2 UK Exclusive".

edit: mine sure is sitting at step 7 of 9 for a while when installing 7720! (the lack of any type of percentage on the progress bar is very disturbing!)

For some reason the update didn't work the first time, it was in the restarting phone process and failed or w/e, I wasn't paying attention to it. So I'm trying it again. Still, I have no idea why it's taking so long for the update to even download, it's going so slow.

Well, that worked. I got Mango. Thanks so much for the help. :)

Does anyone know how it works now with Visual Voicemail. Is it basically a "If it's there it's there" kind of thing?

I guess now to see how long it takes for the Marketplace to let me know I have app updates... LOL I know there are plenty...

When I was running the beta, I had to go to the options on my T-Mobile account and turn on the feature (at least they don't charge extra for it).

Really? You had to do that directly with T-Mobile, not on the phone, correct? I guess I'll see if there's any such setting for Verizon. I used to have Visual Voicemail when I had WinMo on Verizon, so I would think I would be able to get it. I suspect they'll be trying to charge me though as they did for WinMo... :(

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!
    • Same, never saw it on Android or iOS. Guess only some people got it *shrugs*
    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
