Could this be for current owners as well?
Slightly worrying as I've got one from T-Mobile. Couple of things keeping me from being too worried:
1. I haven't noticed anything awry yet
2. If there is a glitch, it seems to be software based, so flashing the phone with/when the generic HTC ROM is officially publicy available (which I intended to do, anyway) should fix it.
load of bull because its available in shops now
I think it's likely that we've got phones with bugs and will get OTA update soon.
i wonder what about the unlocked and unbranded phones from mobiles.co.uk ?
maybe they had the t-mob versions and just unlocked them ?

Maybe so. lets wait and see. if its a software bug, i can live with that as it can get rooted/updated but if its a hardware issue.
well were ****ed then
My only grief until now is the absence of the voice-to-text facility. HTC have specifically mentioned this on desirehtc.com -> Android. They mention that "Rather excitingly, it brings us into a realm where voice-to-text is a reality in all text fields. Imagine sending texts or emails simply by talking to your phone. Now do it, we're there." How the t-mobile desire version did not get it is beyond me at the moment.
I find it strange that they only included the HTC Touch keyboard and removed the standard Android one. I ran both on my G1 and it was each to switch input methods with a simple long hold in a text entry field.
-deleted...-
Can't say I have seen anyone complaining of any problems yet.
Can't be that serious can it!
If it's a software problem it will soon be fixed. If it's a hardware problem I guess we will have our phones replaced.
I wouldn't worry about it. I would rather have the phone now with the seemingly trivial problem.
I flashed the Generic ROM anyway but I wouldn't recommend it as it's not possible to revert to the T-mobile ROM if you need to.

Hi guys. well whats happened is I just updated my trophy to the next version of mango, but I just saw on the windows phone news that a firmware update for vodafone trophys (which im on) just got pushed out. So now I'm pretty much stuck since I really want this firmware update since it says it address's battery life issues (trophy has alot of them) and its not showing up.
thanks in advance,
also, is it just me or has the whole trophy general forum just disappeared? I cant seem to find it at all anymore.
There was a message that went out a day or two ago that several forums (I think including the Trophy forum) were being moved to the low activity area. You might check there.

You WON'T get the firmware until you downgrade, but I suggest waiting for Mango RTM before doing so.
Also, the HTC Trophy forum (along with many other Windows Phone's) have for some reason been moved to the Legacy Devices forum.
ok so I should just wait for mango RTM then the update should be there? I hope
and thanks, ill take a look there
I think what day2die is saying is that, before you can get the final Mango update, you are going to have to roll back to NoDo anyway. At that point, you should be able to get the Trophy update from HTC, since you will be back on the official update path.

Exactly what I intended to say. Thanks, RoboDad.
ahh ok thanks guys, also I never really understood something. When I go back to my premangostate files, will I lose all the apps I installed since then?
You won't lose them, in the sense that you won't need to repurchase them, but you will need to reinstall them.
You will lose a number of things, though, that you can't get back. Any activity on your phone since installing the Mango beta, including text messages, documents created on the phone that haven't been synced anywhere, and game saves/progress will be erased. And, of course, any changes you made to the settings of your phone, or to the settings of any installed app, will also revert back to their pre-Mango state.
Basically, after rolling back to pre-Mango, your phone should look exactly like it did the day before you installed Mango.
It is for these reasons that I decided not to run the Mango beta.
A lot of people have seen the links on WPCentral and WMPowerUser for force updating to Tango using the cab sender method.
I've been posting in that thread since yesterday and I'm seeing countless people messing up their phones by (a) not using the cab sender tool to make a backup before sending the updates or (b) not installing the language packs with the update or not installing the correct language packs.
The other thing people should be aware of is that for some people the update is removing INTEROP unlock. If you have a very recent Samsung firmware there may be no way to unlock again.
Tango adds very few features. Location awareness icon is not there. Export to SIM only appears to be there for a select few. Unless MMS is something that your life depends on, wait until more work can be done by the developer community analyzing what effects the 8112 and 8773 updates have on all the different phones & variations (carrier/unbranded) thereof.
EDIT: One user with a Dell Venue Pro has most probably irreversibly bricked his phone by applying the update.
If you want to force the update, try it:
http://www.wp7connect.com/2012/06/28/how-to-force-tango-update-on-your-device/
Worked for me. Needed two updates. The second one was 8773, then I received Nokia firmware.
i don't understand how those steps are able to work. if the wlan connection is killed while zune is searching for an update it returns a 'can't check for updates right now' error.
If you do it the right timing, it will stop the checking of the phone carrier etc. So thats something like
Connect to server > Check Atual Version > Check Last Version Available > Check if allowed to update > Update
When you kill the wlan, you are supposed to it exactly in the part that check if you are allowed to update. When it doesnt receive a response from server, it just update. Basically, you jump one step.
And it works perfectly. I've done this with Mango, now I done this with Tango too. Believe, it's not troll.
Another method is to count how much time it takes to answer you that your software is up to date. And then take 1-3 seconds off. That's when you have to disconnect. So you keep trying alternating the time you disconnect your pc.
thanks for the explanation of the sequencing.
i love wp7, and the lumia has been great...but i think it's a bit strange that updates are via zune software only, yet they stripped the marketplace accessibility functions from that same software making them ota only. sorry for the stray OT.

WP 8 is going to have OTA update. And a rumour that 7.8 too (I dont know what for. Will MS release updates after 7.8 to 1st and 2nd generation?). But I think the Kernel CE is the one to blame here. Its not a big problem for me. You will have like 2~3 updates in one year. That gives one update every 4 months or 6 months. I dont mind connecting my WP to computer.

on what carrier are you?
It worked for my carrier unlocked Samsung Focus.
At first I installed the OS updates (4), then I tried to install the 5 lenguages that my phone needed but an error prevented that, so after I tried to install only my main lenguage and it worked!
I agree, it's not really worth it, I use the MMS feature, but this cab update method it's not very stable in all phones.
I finally couldn't take the disappearing keyboard issue on my HTC HD7s. As far as I read, AT&Crap had no intention of providing that update, or Tango for that matter. I followed the steps for the cab loading updates and they worked fine. Haven't noticed any adverse effects for the past few days. Now I just bide my time until my contract ends so I can grab whatever decent WP8 phones that come out.
We've been doing force update thing from the Mango days. It's a easy process *IF* people follow the directions. It does work but, you must have the correct language packs/files to install with it.
It also could remove your Unlock.
If you READ THE DIRECTIONS and RE-READ THE DIRECTIONS, then FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS you should be fine.
It's people who are in a rush who brick or screw up their phone.

Question about the Tango update...
On My Lg it went smooth... i see sms picture, video that i can attach, but i have ringtone in place of voicenotes ??
Anyone else experience this?
Tango on at&t Lumia 900???
So is there any confirmation that people are able to do the Tango update on the Lumia 900 on at&t via the disconnect internet trick? I've tried a couple of times and been unsuccessful. I don't want to waste my time continuing if it won't work.

Yep I only have pictures/video enabled,anyone knows how to enable voicenotes?
After several attempts finally got the prompt for update OS to 7.10.8112 however the update was unsuccessful!! Did it 2nd time but again the update was unsuccessful???
Not sure why it's doing this? If I cannot update to 7.10.8112 then I cannot update to Tango 7.10.8773.98
Has anyone else experienced this on unlocked European Titan? If it helps I'm currently on OS version 7.10.8107.79 and with Bootloader version 2.6

I followed cab sender method, which seemed to work fine. However, I also do not have Voice Note, instead I have Ringtone.

Hi there
Wondering if any of you kind folks can help me understand what is happening on my phone.
I've a new Nokia Lumia 900 which I've had for about 2 weeks. Unfortunately (rather fortunately!) I won it at a Microsoft event, so I can't exactly take it back to a retailer for repair or question.
My phone seems to intermittently crash. Most times it just reboots but occasionally it's just dead and I have hold down the power button to reset. Anecdotally it seems to happen most when I have WiFi turned on, though it does happen occasionally without WiFi on.
I have reset back to factory setting twice and also turned off all background process I can. Of course there are still a few applications that I can't turn off from running in the background.
Despite this, the phone still crashes A LOT with WiFi on (2 to 6 times a day) and occasionally with WiFi off (once every 2 or three days).
Does anyone know what is happening and how I can find a fix?
PS: Both the phone and Zune report that there are no updates applicable.
Cheers.
Look in settings/about and take note of the Firmware and OS versions and kindly write them down on here, If you have OS ver 8862 then you already have the latest version and need to take your phone to a Nokia Care centre or send for repair as it should not crash at all, If you have a lower ver ie: 8107, 8773 or 8858 then maybe you can force an update through Zune, Which may well fix your issue?
Tried that...

Thanks for your reply Andy
I did exactly that, checked the OS version, and I discovered that I did NOT have the latest OS version but Zune reported I did.
As a result I contacted Nokia to explain the difference in OS version availability published on the Australian support site vs the fact that Zune reports the OS version is up to date. I was told that not all OS versions are available across all Lumia 900 phones and regions! Er... Whatever...
However, the support staff did recognise I'm having an issue and has lodged a ticket with the "appropriate department". Time will tell how response they are.
I guess I either have to wait for the OS update to be made available to have their support technicians contact me back to resolve the issue.
Either way I will update this thread with the results in case anyone else has a similar issue.
Fingers crossed they get it sorted for you,
However if you do decide to be cheeky there is a way of forcing the update via Zune, As you click update and before it tells you you already have the latest firmware etc you disconnect your lan cable, It is a bit tricky and timing is the key, You may have to try several times etc,
Or as a last resort http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128295
In either case I cannot guarantee it will fix your issue but it could save you from boredom as you await a fix.

Ha! Yes.... Well I've not heard anything from them yet. Day 2 so I'm not quite bored yet
However, on a positive note the updates came through tonight via Zune without pulling of LAN cables (ED: read hair), so all's good on that front. Time will tell if the updates solve the problem, but it did 3 cumulative updates so I guess there was a bit to do...
Thanks Andy

Phone remains unlocked. Unfortunately, it wipes APN data and now I can't go in and edit APN. Anybody have any work arounds? I can't add an APN (no option) in the settings menu (settings - more - mobile networks - access point names) nor in the ##3282# menu with the MSL. It's been a huge pain and I'm currently trying to use this phone in Peru. It can make and receive calls/texts but will not access the internet without being able to add/edit APN's.

But if anyone knows how to do it please i beg you i need help as it was my gift to my father and i fu..ed it up :crying:
Why,LG, why?
Gah this is so frustrating. I had my phone unlocked by sprint and am currently abroad, but had the wonderful combination of ideas to both update to ZVE and reset network settings. I've already been using this international sim for five months and everything was fine and dandy, but now I can't add an APN so I can't connect to the internet (the apn settings are greyed out) - I even spoke to Sprint for 3 hours and they concluded there's nothing they can do. I'm thinking there's one of three things to be done: change the APN by some "hack" like a dialer code or ADB, revert to previous firmware, or connect to the internet somehow without an APN.
Does anyone know how to do either of three things? Please help.
Update: I called LG and Sprint for a combined total of about 5 hours. LG confirmed that indeed with ZVE they disabled manual changing of APNs (due to "security") and they don't even have a special code or anything to fix that. They said I should ask Sprint to maybe push an ota apn for the international carrier but they said they can't do that. The LG guy said that he would add a ticket (they can't even talk to anyone higher up) to tell the dev team to add an option again to change APNs but I don't know how likely that'll be. It's just super frustrating that LG pushed an update to break international data and now says they can't do anything about it. Reminds me of my bootlooped Nexus 5x that they said they couldn't do anything about. Smh lg, smh.

Welcome to my hell. I tried to warn the community in my comment about this exact issue. I spent weeks talking to Sprint and LG's useless "technical support." LG reps kept insisting that LG has nothing to do with software updates which is completely wrong and extremely ignorant of them to think that. Sprint advanced tech support even conferenced LG in on a call once that lasted about 45 minutes and the LG rep kept saying they don't have anything to do with the updates. Finally, we got him to agree that they did make the updates. But, even that was a waste of time. It wasn't until I wrote to LG through their website that I got several responses (mostly the same as before - walking you through how to change APN settings) but, finally in those conversations, I was able to get LG support to admit that they had a problem with ZVE and that they are the ones that broke it. The last response I got was that their developers are aware of the problem and are working to fix it. It probably won't be fixed until the next software update and they won't give me any timeline as to when that will be. It's been a couple of weeks since I last talked to LG. My advice is to do the same and file a bug error on their website. Calling in is a complete waste of time. They need more reports on this so that they know this is a big issue. You can't even go in with your MSL and change APN's. If they were really worried about security, they would at least allow the carriers to give you permission to modify the APN. Seems completely nonsensical to me.
Never update if you have an unlock. I've said this a hundred times... Maybe you can get on eBay and get a remote unlock.

How does one file a bug report? I looked and couldn't find it.
As to the reason I updated my phone, I'm very involved in security and need the newest security patches I can get. Also, I don't know/don't think a remote unlock will help, I think it is actually fully impossible to add an APN at this point... I even had sprint lock and unlock my phone...

Sometimes you can't have your cake and eat it too. A bug report will get you nowhere. I've filed legitimate bug reports with solutions and didn't even get a reply. They did this on purpose and don't care if it effects you. They don't want you to use your device the way you want, they want you to use it the way they want.
I read this in other post
Idk this work

Google, download and install HiddenMenuCall_1.7.apk
Go to LTE Settings
Go to APN Settings
Set APN there and use "default,dun,fota" as APN Type
Restart phone
