.Neo Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Exciting! Thinking about heading out to an AT&T store to check out some WP7 phones. Mango definitely shows a lot of promise. The OS is pretty nice, I agree. However, I haven't seen a single phone design I truly like so far. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Lyons10 Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Has anyone gotten Mango on Verizon? Or are they just shipping 7392? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudtrooper Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliott Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will do that as soon as I get home in a couple of hours. I forgot about it and that it worked for NoDo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Lyons10 Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 For people not getting it yet: http://www.wpcentral...h-zune-software 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

jakem1 Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakem1 Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 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 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern Patriot Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 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. Yeah, Wikipedia just lists it as an unknown update. Mine went right to installing 7720 after updating to 7403. 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... 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo158 Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Yeah, Wikipedia just lists it as an unknown update. Mine went right to installing 7720 after updating to 7403. Mine has as well, downloading it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern Patriot Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 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!)

George P Global Moderator Posted September 27, 2011 Author Global Moderator Share Posted September 27, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farchord Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Ditto, installing the second update atm :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Lyons10 Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 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...

Southern Patriot Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 \ Still, I have no idea why it's taking so long for the update to even download, it's going so slow.

articuno1au Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Vodafone Australia on a HTC Trophy 7. Got it with the plug-pull method. Installing the last of the updates right now :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern Patriot Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Does anyone know how it works now with Visual Voicemail. Is it basically a "If it's there it's there" kind of thing? 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... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdrock Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 just updated my Samsung focus to 7.10.7720.68, is this the final mango version? I don't notice anything different from the beta. no new theme color either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
