Has anyone noticed that when you switch to a different application it completely resets that app?
1. Open Twitter then close
2. Open email client
3. Press & hold back button to navigate back to Twitter
4. Black screen flashes and then "resuming..."
Is there a code snippet that just needs to be included to fix this behavior? I have not yet gone through the Mango training course but hopefully that's the case.
The application project has to be changed to a 7.1 project and recompiled.
If it hasn't been updated to a Mango application as above, then it won't be using the new features.
I don't think MS is allowing Mango application submissions yet.
Yup. As andrmgic stated, its something that just requires it to be recompiled with the 7.1 SDK for mango. Its not additional coding or anything so its very easy for developers to address.
But they will also need to wait for the ability to submit those changed apps, which wont happen for a couple months.
But it is fairly easy to add. So I imagine we will just see a ton of app updates come out right before Mango is officially released.
I don't see "resuming..." when I go back to an app. I even tried openning 3 games and returning to them was instantaneous. Maybe it's because I had dehydration hack enabled on NoDo?
Wait, I was under the impression the Mango update was a full reflash of the handset. In that case those registry hacks should be wiped out, but maybe I'm wrong. I have a few apps in 7.0 development; can't wait to switch over to 7.1 and implement these new features.

Nah, all my info was there after the update. That's why some people are having issues if they had reg hacks before the update.
Interesting. Don't think I'll go back to nodo to apply a few tweaks though. Thanks given all around.
I had the dehydration hack enabled and I now have fast app switching on all apps including games.
I am so glad I had that hack enabled before the update, as its a great experience switching between apps now I can be playing a game, then go check on facebook, then hold the back key and get straight back into my game where I left off, no resuming necessary.

OH! I was wondering about this becuase fast app switching works really well for me. I do not get a resuming screen at all for example playing angry birds and switching to facebook is near instant!
Some apps dont work well this way though, the xda app for one crashes and rowi has trouble resuming.
Aw man..that's great news then. It would be nice if I could edit the registry after the fact. I'd hate to re-download everything and get my tiles and everything setup just how I like them. Plus, my FB chat finally works!
Well, this is odd. All of my other games (14 xbl titles and 11 open titles) work with no issues but every time I launch twin blades after getting to the screen where you choose to continue or start a new story mode it just links back to the games hub. This has been tried on the focus and the dvp and I've deleted and re-installed the app just to make sure. It just doesn't want to get past that point with the latest mango pre-release.
It's an issue with the game.
It won't work until they update it to work with Mango.

awesome news, hopefully we may even get mango in the next few weeks, if these guys can get it onto the web. Also when we downgrade from mango do we lose all the apps/data we have put on since we updated?
Want to get my hands on it =)
i really wanna like to see what has improved or changed in the mango rtm build since 7712 beta hope the speed of fps handling gpu has been set to 50 fps.

According to MS's official statement, yes. You have to restore from the back-up you created when you upgraded to the Beta in order to Upgrade to the official release. So, anything installed/done after upgrading to the beta will be lost. You can reinstall those apps from the marketplace on your device though.
They will be releasing it to the public over the next few months and I cannot wait as it means that everyone will be able to make use of the power and the new feature set of the Mango update.
Has anyone found the rom on the DFT site?

Cant we just copy app data to computer and replace in the official mango build. This is what I'm gonna try for my game saves. Not that it really matter's I'll just beat the games again. Give me something to do on my down time.

If you're referring to XNA/Games, the fixed 30 fps frame rate has been removed. Any game to run in a higher frame rate would have to be updated and optimized accordingly though.
yeah you´re right but i didn´t mean that did you see the video where they compare ios, blackberry android and wp7 they showed that the ie9 can handle 50 fps in the fish test... hope you know what i mean..
yeah well im hoping the wizards here on xda will find a way for us to get the RTm version without going back to our backups. since I have alot of data- texts etc hahaha that i would like to keep
Mango
The DFT has a RTM build of mango hopefully we become a 7720 ROM to flash

I wouldn't do that. I'm looking forward to rolling back to NoDo and flashing the RTM. As we saw with the Twitter usernames in the People Hub, somethings are broken when updating from test build to test build. The only way to get Twitter fully working is to roll back to NoDo and upgrade, if not, it won't allow you to link your contacts to Twitter names. Who knows what else is off.

if the OP is on the mango beta, the only update i could imagine it asking for is if they aren't on 7712 yet. other official updates for anything pre mango shouldn't show up as being available since the system should be newer than the update....
personally, i haven't seen any update messages, i'm on 7712.

then the update it's talking about is 7712, if you are able to, i'd do it, it makes the OS run even smoother than before and ads a few more new things.
me: focus on 7720
I have 31 apps in app list on phone but it's using the alpha sort headers. What gives? Is it including the number of games to determine when to use the alpha sort function? Is there some way to turn it off?

Oops. I misread your post. I have no idea why the jump list would be visible with only 31 apps. I wouldn't expect it to include games, but who knows?
31? Lucky you.
I need to have 45 apps in order to get that jump list.

+1 you need to have 45 apps
Well, I only have 31 listed and I have a jump list...
So my 31 apps plus the 17 alpha placeholders makes my list 48 items long. It's pretty annoying as it's ugly and inefficient.
I have 30 games installed and I have considered uninstalling some of them to see if that collapses the jump list but I don't want to lose settings and saves...

31 games? or 31 apps? Because those are both stored in 2 different places.
If you are talking about games, I didn't even know that the games hub could show the jumplist at all. But then again, I've never installed that many games to find out.
The app list is only supposed to trigger the jumplist at 45. So, your phone is probably bugged.
31 apps. 30 games. App list has jump list. Games hub is normal. Either the games + apps is counted to trigger the jump list, or there is an error somewhere. I fear I'll have to hard reset and restore to pre mango and update again...

45 apps here means, you need to have total 45 icons appear the same time on the app list to get that jump list.

I know that we are only supposed to see the jump list once we have 45 icons in the app list, but what I am saying is that I only have 31 icons in my app list AND I do have the jump list. It's ugly and I don't want it. I am trying to figure out WHY on my phone the jump list is activated.

Oh well, I don't know my friend. I think jump list. Is Is really useful, I don't have to scroll down all the way to open the setting.

I have 43 APPS, and it's showing the jumplist.
Weird.
Just deleted 3 apps, down to 40 and I still have the sort list.
JAJA WOW!!! is somebody really complaining about this? people wanted an easier way to keep track of apps installed in the app list but now that it's here there's complaints? revert back to NoDo if u don't want it. problem solved.

I'm not sure how many apps you need to have, but it is indeed based on the # of apps. I upgrading to Mango & had the jumplist, uninstalled all homebrew apps that no longer worked & the jumplist disappeared.

And i am started to think that each device has its own number of apps on apps list to get that jump list.
Focus is much smaller than HD7... So the Jumplist will appear sooner ?

I doubt it. They all run the same resolution (WVGA/480x800), plus what you are running is a generic Mango RTM or Beta, not the official. So, there's no OEM/Device specific code yet. This may be the case for the Retail though, who knows if OEM's have control over that.

I don't think the OEM had a chance to touch the 7720 before Microsoft release it.
I mean that is what Microsoft did with each ROMs for each Devices before they rolled it out for their OEM.
Smaller screen may result in different configuration, who know?

No, I mean after the RTM. RTM means Release to Manufactorer. This is when OEM's start testing & tweaking it & possibly updating their device specific drivers. As for having different # of apps for jumplist depending on device, that depends if MS gave OEM's a registry to tweak to control this setting, it's possible. I don't see it being done though because of a smaller screen as all device have the same resolution & therefore the same amount of content shows up onscreen, no matter it's physical size. It just looks bigger on a larger screen. This may be the case for the Tango Chassis 2 device from what I remember will be more like a BB/HTC Status in design with a smaller screen & keyboard on the front.

Oh okay, i get your point.
7720 is RTM, but not a final build. I am looking forward for a new Firmware from HTC for Schubert, or a completely good Eternity.
Are you gonna get a Mango Device? or you will stay with Schubert?

For now I'll stick with my HD7. I got it for $30 with 2 yrs upgrade, so no upgrade for me, plus I'm unemployed atm. I really want more info on this eternity though. If it's worth it, I'll probably get one anyway once I find a job & if it is indeed on T-Mobile USA.
What's I really like is a Mango HD7 hardware with slide out keyboard like the 7 Pro, bigger battery & Super AMOLED Plus screen & better camera lens. I hate how they make you choice between 4.3" screen & hardware keyboard. Plus MS needs a landscape mode for the start screen.
EDIT: Oh, & better speaker that actually have decent base.

They are starting develop the 4.5 inch SAMOLED i think. I read that article somewhere.
Eternity with SLCD is good enough for me. Probably buys some new jeans with bigger front pockets sometime...
After Leo and Schubert, i know i can't stand anything smaller than 4.0 inch on my hand....
T-Mobile is getting through AT&T... not soon... so let's hope.
if not, i will get the International Version then.
