Well, I'm wondering wheter to do it on my LG considering that are some people who are reporting the problems with internet explorer after update.

I'll give it a few days before attempting the force update.

You both on LG optimus 7? I'm using one, mangofied and yeah got some problems..

At first, the internet connection just went out when using data connection (wifi ok). After some fiddling, I need to manually add apn in the cellular section in settings. Right after inputting it, my internet is back again and is kicking mango ass. I don't know if it relates to any of you, but my phone is from LG Optimus 7 Starhub, running on Celcom.. i just put up the celcom3g as the apn name.

So far, not running any issues with internet explorer, except related to the above problem at first. My verdict : i love my optimus 7 now with mango thumbup.gif

Mine is a Singtel Optimus. So you needed to manually set the APN is it? interesting.. well we'll see, I know Maxis's gateway does some interesting things with their Broadband so it works on ANY APN, so maybe same with phone?

well.. forcing updates now.

Guys, note that when you force updates, remember to turn on flight mode and turn off WiFi on your phone. You need to kill ALL remote communications!

If this isn't mentioned already, to get access to the FULL vision search.

goto Settings -> Region+Language scroll to the very bottom and for Browser & Search language select 'English (United States)'

Havent got the routing to work yet though.

Here's a note for everyone upgrading to Mango.

If you find that cellular data DOESN'T work after updating to Mango.

Based on what some users have said here, it seems to be likely that your carrier APN isn't set anymore. Therefore you need to go to

Settings -> Mobile Network -> Add APN (at the bottom of the screen)

And add back the relevant APN setting for your telco.

I think someone should sticky this on the top of this thread for now.

my mozart stil showing up to date... force for so long d still cannot... any idea. jz bought this phone less than a week
*
- Remember to turn on Flight Mode and off your WiFi, the phone itself also must not have data connection

after that, what you do is.

If you count 8 secs, pull and it says Up To date,
count 7 sec then pull, if it still says Up To date,
then pull at 6 secs.

Basically
- if it says up to date, pull a second earlier
- if it say cannot get updates, pulls a second later

Also, remember to update your Zune app first.

For me, HTC started to suck when they released Manila on WinMo. It is the single crappiest skin/theme I have ever encountered, and their IME is useless. Anyway... that's old story.

I avoid HTC (though I bought the Mozart because it's freakin' cheap spec wise) for WP7 largely because of inferior hardware. They skimped on the storage by using Micro SD instead of NAND Flash, affecting performance and reliability. Small batteries giving you crappy battery life, and then they coupled it with LCD display. Plus a host of other things.

Yes, HTC's QA reputation is VERY VERY VERY BAD! I was forced to use HTC devices for most of my Windows Mobile years, and I seen all the weird ass problems.

That's why I'm so relieved that I have other choices now.

back then, not many options for smartphone until Google Phone surface then android, people now can choose any branding they feel reliable to, very very bad QA?? i did not encounter any issue since my 1st gen HTC touch until now or maybe im 1 lucky user??
mass production sure have small batch of defect that might slip passes the test, its a machine test, machine is stupid + human error all the time, so shit happen to user. what can we do?? warranty lor  laugh.gif

The problem is that they are inconsistent with their hardware build, the one that hits me the closest is the Diamond issue.

First few batches of Diamond, nice white backlight.
Then my friend gets one a few months later, it's a yellowish light

Such inconsisitencies cannot be tolerated, how can I reommend someone a phone based on what I use myself when I'm not sure what is the build quality of the device which the person I recommended to is going to get?

Again, music player doesn't even show up there.
LOL I did that for some cases. Press back over 50 times...
Not sure the details you talking bout but definitely I can pause/play the music but not close the player...
Paused the music but when i press volume up/down, the player is still running.
*
The player isn't running per say, it's just showing the last position of the last song you played.

Don't worry about it, if you're gonna worry about the power consumption of a paused song. You're gonna have a nervous breakdown over what the phone does to update information all the time.

guys,
we still didn't get bing turn-by-turn navigation and local scout right?
thanks.
*
Local scout doesn't work here.

Navigation
Settings -> region+language -> browser & search language -> United States

This turns on vision search, navigation, and a few other things.

About the navigation, the search has gotten *slightly* better. But its still pretty much hopeless, so my old video about how to use on WP7 is still valid, just disregard how to turn it on.

That's because google already has the map info for malaysia. MS doesn't have a SEARCH database for Malaysia, but routing works fine.

This is a video I made for wp7 maps

it demonstrates how searching suxors, but routing works

This is a demonstration of an app i made to work with the routing system in 7.5

If enough ppl are interested I'll submit the app to marketplace.

Though I would prefer an offline-able turn by turn voice navigation. But yours is a good apps. I would certainly buy it in the marketplace while waiting for an offline one.  thumbup.gif

btw, hows the search for address? is it like when we search in google?
e.g address search: 20, ss2/34, taman power, 47300 petaling jaya.
or still hv to use bing maps way and naming. coz its suxor to use bing maps way and naming...its haywired.

I can't CHARGE for any solution that uses Google Map service when I don't pay for it. So don't worry about that.

Searching for address is a problem for now, I'm not tying into THAT search yet, now I'm just using the Google Places search, so we see where this goes first.

PM me your Live ID I pop you into the Betatest List.

You can't even install Zune, what kind of error message are you getting? Just saying it doesn't work... doesn't really help much.
