7.10.7740.16 Update - Like a BigBoss :D - Venue Pro General

Got the official 7740 Update via Zune, anyoe got a Changelog?
I'm Installing it right now - will post anything new i find

Nothing noticeable in this Update -_-
DVP - Great Smartphone - Great Software - Missing OEM Update= Useless ****! Dell you SUCK!
Sent from my Dell Venue Pro using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

Microsoft's aim with WP7 isnt to introduce anything new or mind blowing, its to just improve feature level functionality without confusing the end user.
Like a Boss indeed!!

I got nothing on my unlocked US T-Mobile Version of DVP =/

Yeah just got the update for my factory unlocked TMO DVP and nothing we can notice at all. Just bug changes that probably affect a small batch of us. Here's the screen shot of a somewhat of a changelog:
http://www.wpcentral.com/microsoft-reportedly-rolling-out-7740-os-update-windows-phone
Still waiting for a unique WP7 phone as a replacement to the DVP

Can we please stop using "Like a boss". It is a bit childish. I am not trying to flame here but it is nice coming to a forum that is mostly professional.

How about we let people just be themselves. I know I'm not a senior member, but I see no need to censor anyone.

the multi-tasking resume time on apps seems to be faster from the beta. And overall seems faster response time. I would recommend a battery pull for everyone after the update also, that helped mine too.

I updated mine yesterday and it seems to be fine except for one thing. I used to get "H" all the time, now only 3G. Anyone experience the same issue? Pulled the battery a few times already and still the same.

Anyone else updated yet? Seem to be very few update reports, havent got it myself yet.

nothing for me yet

Well it would seem its tmobile blocking this update, my generic DVP got the prompt and updated ok while my tmo locked one still claims 7720 is up to date.
Such a disgraceful state that US carriers are so intent on blocking updates for the devices they carry and have effectively killed the market for true unlocked phones.

my att DVP when from the beta 7720.212 to 7720.219 and now it says its up to date, is that true or should I have 7740?

Yes, that's correct. 7720.219 is the latest firmware version.
The 7740 OS update was relatively minor and Dell has not released new firmware since the Mango release. Therefore, the firmware version number has not changed since Mango.

That's what I have on mine. Are you only seeing 3G or do you get "H"? I used to but after the update I only get 3G.

I have noticed this on my phone as well. I remember it showing 'H' more often with the 212 firmware than it does now. Similarly, I did not see 'H' very often prior to the 212 firmware.
I suspect my signal strength may be near to the borderline, as I haven't seen many other people mentioning this.
In the 212 firmware, Dell made some tweaks to improve signal strength (http://wmpoweruser.com/dell-venue-pro-users-new-fw-report/). Not sure if any of this changed in 219 - it's possible.

T-mobile 2.13 update removed from T-mobile site.

The title says it all:
Customers have reported issues when attempting to download the HTC HD2 software update, and may be experiencing additional issues following successful downloads. As a result, the software update has been temporarily removed from www.t-Mobile.com/wmupgrade.
Support teams are engaged and working to resolve these issues so customers can take advantage of the many benefits this update will provide. Once the issues have been resolved, the software update will be re-posted on www.t-Mobile.com/wmupgrade.
Customers who have successfully downloaded the software should keep the update and continue to use their device as normal.
Thank you all for your patience!
Leads me to wonder whether or not T-mobile tested the update thoroughly before releasing it to consumers...

"and may be experiencing additional issues following successful downloads."
Not really sure what the "additional issues" are, but I hope that includes the radio problems, sensitivity problems, and the scrolling issues.
Yea, It was probably just refering to the slow download speed from the site. It's gonna be the same ROM with its issues.
Download is still there

thanx alot my hd2 needs work
Unless they modified this update, it will make the phone less useful (as for my experience). I updated my htc hd2 but I immediately downgraded.
Yea It was up this morning my guess is t-mobile was getting excessive bandwidth issues with all the hungry consumers wanting this updated ROM, which they all very well should be !!! ROM has been on my device for over a week and I haven't had the need for a battery pull or reset since, everything is kosher,...there are complaints of lag, but I have not experienced any issues with my HD2 since I upgraded my ROM to the 2.13

I've updated to 2.13 yesterday and last night, it was taking up to 45 seconds to make a call. Holy Smoke!
I mean I've pressed call and put the phone up to my ear and took up to 45 seconds before I heard first ringing.
I'm looking into downgrading for now.
well i downloaded the update yesterday but then like half and hour later the update from the website was taken off and that made me think that it might of been something wrong with the update other than a downloading problem. until they put a new download i highly doubt that i will upgrade. hopefully tmobile will announce some news on what the update is doing to these phones cause many people have upgraded and most of them have different problems.

Not. Normal.
this is a junk upgrade!
Downgrading's easy. Just go to the sticky and download the 2.10.0 rom and then flash as you normally would and then you're set. I just did it this morning and boy what a difference.
This update has been very good for me, on both HD2 phones. Battery life is much better, reception is better, data is faster. I can see a difference in the touch-screen sensitivity from the original but everyone was complaining about it being too sensitive.
It would be good for HTC to develop an included GUI for adjusting the screen sensitivity.
For me this update has been very good!
There is a cab to change the sensitivity back.
it worked fine for me. second day and its fine.
It has been working great for me. No freezing (yet), and much faster response time. Weather updates still buggy. Opera browser got an update as well.

Looking at the verbage used in the statement issued by T-Mo, it makes it seem like by putting SOOO much emphasis on "trouble downloading" and then throwing a little 3 word "and after downloading" at the end that the real issue is the ROM. I say this because bandwidth is cheap (relatively) and for a wireless provider like T-Mo, pushing 200 mb files out to a small subset of their users should be nothing. I've downloaded 5+ gb of data from Microsofts websites the day that updates were released with no download issues what so ever.
My thoughts (and this is probably wishful thinking) are that maybe .01% of downloads failed (which is normal) and so they have the proof to back up their claims about the d/l being buggy, but the real issue is the actual ROM being bad
T-Mo is in the business of communication (aka transportation of voice data), they have the technology to push a relatively small file to an even smaller subset of users. I'm raising the BS flag on the download issues and hoping for a better ROM release.

Ok, but the file is back up on their site with the same version number. Indicating that is has been put back up for download, but no changes to the ROM.
A lot of the newest ROM's are based on this version, correct? Is so, how has the stability been affected? I have heard nothing but bad stuff on the update and am not surprised it was pulled. Are the ROMS based on that update OK to use. Stable? Fast? Screen jitters?
I am running Kumar 1.2 now and am considering upgrading.

Software Update From T-Mobile?

Hi everyone, first time posting!
I just received a notification that T-Mobile has an update for my Vibrant. Did anyone else get this? Could this be the GPS fix everyone's been talking about? I'm installing it right now!
I tried to manually update it but I got the same old message "no firmware! "
It didn't end up going so great... It hanged on the Vibrant screen after the update. Doing a nandroid restore right now.
Lol. Really?
My first post so here it goes.
I just finished downloading the update and its not 2.2. I have noticed a few slight changes though. First being that websites seem to open faster and scroll smoother, it could just be me though. The menu that is brought up when you are using the browser is different and has a brightness control on it.
There is a new HD camcorder application and a task manager application. I have only had it running for a couple minutes. In not sure if there is a gps fix cause I'm in my basement so it its rare for me to get any signal down here.
I also just found out youtube videos have a HQ button on them now.
Just checked with mine and I get the "no firmware" as well.
looks like JI6 then?
So how do theses OTA updates work? Does everyone get it at the same time or does it update few people at a time? Anyone know?
Will I get any update if my phone is rooted and has lag fix installed?

This seems legit. People on both Android Forums and T-Mobile Forums are reporting the update. Can't be a troll
I'm already on JI6 so it's all good!
GPS has been OK with this version, over WiFi it's really not going to work well for some reason. Jumps around all over the place.
Tracking has been reliable overall. Using it with the Root Wireless app to track my network coverage it was very quick to lock in.
Samsung posted this on Facebook as well.
The Gallery is still problematic.
Reception has been EXCELLENT, overall if this is what we would have gotten back in July people would have been much happier.

Waiting for AT&T for NODO? - here it is in spite of them

http://blog.walshie.me/2011/04/04/so-who-wants-windows-phone-updates-like-right-now/
I did this. My Focus was totally stock. No mods. This took less that 10 minutes total.
After it was complete, all of my stuff was still there. About as painless as it could get.
There was no chance to backup anything. Also this can't be reversed. But who cares? It worked great.
Make sure you download the 32 bit or 64 bit versions as appropriate to the PC the phone is connected to. If you read some of the comments, you will get the feeling that the few that complain probably ran the wrong version.
If you are not sure if you are 32 or 64 bit, go to Control Panel, then System. It will tell there.
The No mods portion is quite misleading. If it runs Chevron, chances are it is modding it. I would be stunned if this didn't void your warranty, absolutely stunned. The only way to update sans any mods would be to wait for the update to come. Otherwise, you might as well run the debrander and update that way...
Concerned
I used this to update to pre-NoDo (7004-7008). I have not done NoDo yet and I'll tell you what my concern is. I would like to know where this update is coming from (I am assuming the MS servers) and whether it is the same version currently being tested by AT&T. I am concerned that there may be AT&T or Samsung specific "fixes" in the AT&T version that are not included in the version being downloaded through this method. Wish someone could tell us.
Well I did it all
Went to nodo and my samsung is working fine if you need me to test some things for you just let me know and I will be happy, as far as warranty goes whenever I did chevron I didn't worry about it anyway, nor did I when I have had any previous devices.
My phone was not modded prior to the update. As far as I can tell it is still unmodded. I didn't see anything happen except the two updates. There is a command window open while this process is taking place.

I had a similar thought, but after a few days of read about people getting NoDo, I said screw it. As far as I have read no company, Samsung included, has added anything to NoDo. I would be shocked if they did anything.

Samsung firmware updates come separate. This update method works because Microsoft released " Windows Phone Support Tool "; Chris acknowledges. When you update, your specific phone gets identified.
I have a non-mod AT&T Samsung Focus. Like everyone else who followed the directions it took about 10 minutes, and worked perfectly. I've tested the features and my apps and it is much snappier. I'm happy with it!
*** Oh, I also used the windows phone support tool before trying to update ***

chevronupdater
Here's the chevronupdater for 64 bit windows. Also, i had trouble doing this as it would run and not update anything. Then i ran windows phone support tool and it updated my focus from 7004 to 7004.3 or something. If it's not working for you, you could try that
You guys might also want to go ahead and download .Net 4, since the updater apparently requires it.
I would link directly to it, but I haven't posted 8 times yet!
One general thing I noticed last night
My phone kept chiming .........bing, bing, bing, bing bing bing......... well you get the point. I turned it off and back on and it came back so at that time I just switched my phone to vibrate reason I have no idea besides that it has been running great.

Do you have a Focus? This behavior has been reported with the Focus a few times, in fact there is a thread somewhere about this. I had(?) this as well. The battery icon would flash like it was charging when it was not connected to a charger. When the usb cable was plugged in it behaved normally. It would not allow the screen to turn off. I worked with ATT Technical Support as well as Samsung. ATT informed me it was a known problem and they had seen many cases, MS knew of it and it was being fixed "in the next update". This was over a month ago. Mine stopped this behavior. I was normally able to stop it by plugging it into the PC and then, through a combination of turning off Zune, turning off the phone and unplugging while the screen was off, get it to stop.

It was the first time I experienced that I had my Focus since launch and it has been unlocked since the chevron came out, until I tried the unbranding update ;(. But it is up and running since running chevronupdate, I really haven't noticed anything as of yet, because my device was running fine prior to update, but the XDA disease really keeps my wanting more Thanks for the update big guy.

I know, I need to get a life. I got tired of tweaking and upgrading when I was in my "crazy" phase with WM 6.5. Thought I "had to" constantly visit here and update. Didn't realize until I had WP7 that I really didn't need to do that. But, I did not want to wait for that foot dragging AT&T to get me this simple update but also had no interest in sideloading apps. This was a perfect solution.
Wonder why the updater was pulled?????

I am guessing ATT, asked MS to do it because it looks like it makes them seem to not care about customers (worked a while for Cingular/ATT) and alot of things I know can be implemented into devices and they just don't. They nickel and dime us to death I think MS should I hate to say it (do like Apple) and just push the updates themselves to the devices and only radio updates should be pushed by providers (the only thing they need to do anyways). If anyone needs it I have it in my dropbox (the chevron upate 32 and 64)

The worst thing MS did was allow the carriers to play such a significant role in the update process, especially their "Premier Partner", AT&T. I worked for them for 9 years during a time when customer satisfaction was at the core of the company. Today's AT&T is not that company, not even a shadow. MS will get the brunt of the criticism for this early update fiasco, even though AT&T deserves the blame. MS will receive it because consumers view this as an MS update. In addition, MS agreed to this "model" with the carriers so, in a way, they deserve the criticism.
AT&T Samsung Focus Success!!!!
Detail and I don't know how many had this issue. DO NOT turn off your phone before the update as the Windows Phone Support Tool instructions tell you. I know, I know, but I did that for quite some time until I decided NOT to turn off the phone.
Did have to run it twice, but I've already copy and pasted to my heart's content
Great job guys.....Thanks a million!!!!!!
just Unbrand
I just got a new Samsung Focus and all I did was dev unlock my device because I am a dev, but after that all I did was plug in my phone, unbrand it, and I got the 7008 update, followed by the another check and I got the Nodo update. No other mod necessary. Just an unlock and an unbrand and I got both updates.

Had a few problems with Rainbow *not just the relocking* but I've been using this for 3 days now and its a lot less hassle with an Omnia 7
Same here. Orange UK - Still on 7740.
Orange have been poor with updates. Shame really... I couldn't look at other networks though as Orange have by far the best deals available and do stock a decent range of WP7 handsets.
I've been having major issues with the 3G not working randomly after 8107, so you are quite lucky.
I know this is an oldish thread but has anyone on orange/tmob/everything everywhere or whatever they are calling themselves today have the 8107 update?
The disappearing keyboard is such a pain and I need a fix.
It's Mozart I'm wondering about really because reading up it seems other phones may already have had this update.
I called Orange business support and theire tech guys "don't know about any 8107 update". I thought this was just the call centre woman fobbing me off so sent an email to account managers and they said the same thing even though I sent them offical link from MS about the update.
Wasn't being pushed to my Omnia 7 on T-Mobile UK as of last week.
Is your phone Interop unlocked? If so you could just tweak a registry entry so you receive the update.
If not, you can manually update using the cab sender method. Doesn't require a developer/unlocked phone. I did it myself and its pretty straightforward.
I followed this guide. Easy to do and it shouldn't stop you getting future OS updates (i.e. Tango) and manufacturer firmware updates through Zune. That is, if Orange ever get round to letting them be pushed out.
Thanks sab, I followed the guide and have updated my phone.
I've not seen any problems so going to update my colleagues phone too!
I'm just annoyed with Orange for not pushing updates from MS. I think MS should take control of updates like they do with their operating systems and take the carrier out of it. I appreciate there will be regional issues and carrier specific configurations but it's just silly having updates and not being able to apply them.

Can you confirm this works OK for Orange UK? I don't want to screw up a phone when I still have a few months of the contract left. Also, did you only need 5 language pack on the Mozart? Mine only lists 5 under Display Lancuages, but loads under Region Format.

I've been using it fine since I posted that updated. As has my colleague. So great to fix that annoying 'hidden keyboard' problem.
If I remember correctly, I used the 5 languages pack only. The same as what was listed in the languages section of the phone.
There are no guarantees and you may screw up your phone. That's the risk you'll have to take.

Forgive my asking another stupid question, but my phone only lists "English". Am I correct in assuming this is English-UK?
I'm also wondering if I should to this if it might break the auto-update and the Tango update might be available in the future. Any thoughts?
Finally, my phone's on 7740, not 7720. Anyone know if that would make a difference?
Yes "English" is English UK. Mine is the same.
I can't comment on the Tango update but I doubt it will affect it. This cab update your doing is an official release as far as I know but it's just that you are forcing the update instead of waiting for Orange to do it.
I was on 7740. This should be the latest build(last time I checked) from Orange on my phone anyways - HTC Mozart.

Android Central hmzzz don't believe everything they are saying.
They also said you loose image quality /features in the camera if you unlock the bootloader which isn't true.
Notice any differences in how it operates? No notice of any available update on my device as of yet...

Some users on their forum also says that. ATT got it 2 days before and we are getting it to.
I hope they move dual window back to back button. Thats all i need.
I have a H815. So i don't think I will receive an update then
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-22421
Pretty sure its true, but ATT's was only like 25mb
What I don't understand as an EU G4 user.
Why does T-mobile provide an update? Is it an update on their software? Or is LG involved?
Are there specific T-mobile apps on it?
I got the update this morning. To answer a couple of questions: No, no new apps. Dual window is still in the same place.
I dont notice anything right offhand different, but I havent done much with my phone yet this morning. Heres a capture of my info:

You're kidding - I always thought they knew what they were talking about. Where did they say that?

T-Mobile (as well as most carriers) ship out the updates after they've approved the changes. I would imagine this is to ensure that nothing being updated will affected their carrier's included Spam (I mean added software) or network connectivity. Last thing they want is their stores or customer service lines inundated with "help! The update broke my cellular connection!" claims.

If you do notice anything of real substance, please post it so that we can know. For now, I think I will avoid connecting to WiFi until I know what this update actually does. I've never been a fan of generic changelogs...
But then it's a little bit strange that the international version. Hasn't got the update.
So you could assume it has to do with their spam apps.
Maybe it fixes the touchscreen issue. I haven't gotten an update yet, and I've switched back to my S5 for now.

Could have to do with any number of kernel/lib/framework related items specific to carrier. Could be cellular radio related, WiFi related (wifi calling has been weird on my phone...doesn't want to seem to connect but I have awesome reception where I live, so I don't need it), etc...
Has your version had any updates in last week or two? If so, it might just be that the carriers are just now approving that update and pushing out to the devices.

That is true for certain phones. Like the Sony phones.
Sweet. Pretty quick imo. Look forward to seeing if it fixes some small issues I've been having (touch/tap misses and knock settings). I know knock settings are a longshot, but it would be nice to be able to configure them to each persons liking. I'd love to be able to turn off the "drag one finger down to quick view the clock/status"
I got my update overnight.
Phone updated without any warning or notice when I woke up this morning. CHecked the software version and it was the new one.
I havent noticed any differences as of yet.
Actually I just looked at my phone and already running version h I wonder if from the factory there were two different images

No I haven't got any updates on my version (H815).
Got the update and my phone starting shaking and jumping around on my desk. When the update was complete it turned into a Galaxy S6
Since they are already working on root and unlock I wouldn't take the ota just yet. Ive got a replacement on the way so once I get the update I'll take it on the one I'm returning and see if any changes. Ill also do a system dump on the new version too if necessary.
