[Q] Mango Pre Release: Multitasking

Hi is there anyone else who has problems with multitasking on mango. When I hold the bakc button and then try to resume my game of pro evo its like nodo where it starts from the beggning, i also tried it with rise of glory too and the same thing happens?
Thanks
Apps have to be updated to incorporate the fast resume feature. Thats why microsoft gave devs the beta early so they can update their apps.
Oh ok, but how come rise of glory worked on MIX 11 and when Mango was relased but it wont work on mine?

They probably built special versions of applications for demo purposes. Those versions are not available publicly on the Marketplace.

The new version of Market will be rolling out over a fairly long window — it may take as long as a month to arrive on your handset, though it sounds like US users may see it sooner.

So what if my phone came with 2.1, but I have never updated to Froyo, except by way of cooked ROM?
Does google still recognise that I am now running 2.3??

To be fair, I'd say Swiping through screens has been there in Android for long, can't recall when exactly, but I think YouTube app was one of the first, the tiles do give out a hint of WP7, but again, I find the styling bit more close to Web version of the Market.
As for slow refresh, yes I do notice that too !! I'm sure will be fixed in future updates
the tiles on the front screen was the wp7 thing.
swiping left and right - didnt even cross my mind
Works on oxygen. But only then reallu fine, when pictures are loaded. But it looks nice.

Yep looks really nice but with all this graphics downloaded each time, it really need a better handling of cashed images/icons. It's horribly slow until I allow it to load fully, and by then im about to throw the device out the window.

Yeah, google should also put an option to disable the preview page, the one with bigger images, for each category..It works good on wi-fi, but can't work on low 3g or edge..After 10 minutes i browsing the market, it downloaded about 16 MB of data..too much
Really want to install this but the amount of data it consumes seems kinda crazy.
I've been using the new Android Market for about a day now and I'm really enjoying it.The new layout is nice and gives the market a more premium feel. Some new great high quality apps would make it almost perfect.

Mango RTM Build

Running on HD7
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?

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

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.

Mango app sort list with 31 apps?

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?
Sent from my SGH-i917 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
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...
Sent from my SGH-i917 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
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.

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.

Slacker Radio now mango'd for everyone

I wonder if it takes a while to show up in the marketplace for different people. Mine still says it's up to date at 1.6

Same here. I don't see the updated version yet.
Does this app actually work now? When I used it, it would take upwards of 3 seconds to respond to any type of touch/command. And it registered all gesters as taps.
I'm not sure what you mean. There is sometimes a 2-3 second delay after selecting a station, while it buffers content, but the app itself clearly responded to my tap instantly (there was visual feedback of my selection).
BTW, I just went to the online marketplace, and the update shows up there, and I was able to install it. Background playback is now fully supported, and the volume bug appears to have been fixed. I get very good volume levels from the app now.
I'm a happy slacker now!
I had to uninstall the current version in order to get this one but it works great even over my slow as **** 3G connection.

That's what I love about the new web-based marketplace. I didn't have to uninstall the old one, even though my phone kept reporting it as current. The web version forced it to "reinstall", which got me the new version.
1.6 is the latest I believe since it now plays in the background on my focus

that's a shame as I usually like seeing that marketplace tile show when there's updates available. maybe slacker is mad at me because I *****ed at them in an email about updating the tmobile version before the normal version.
Mine just updated. 1.6 is the latest, it just wouldn't let me update earlier. It is much faster and responsive and, best of all, plays in the background.

I think it's just a fluke. The marketplace is kind of in a state of flux right now. The WP7AppList app was reporting this morning reporting that there were over 800 app updates since yesterday.
