HTC Update for Windows Phone enables Hidden W-Fi App from HTC

The title says it all. Came home and after dinner, I plugged in my HD7 and Zune popped up. Suddenly, update was automatically ran and after a while, an update popped up, "HTC Update for Windows Phone".
Was fiddling with my MobileOperator value this afternoon, changing it back to "SIN-SG" from "000-88" because I was worried about having updated to NoDo using the VPN method.

Update has enabled my HD7 to run the Hidden Wi-Fi app recently released by HTC!

Not installing any updates until I'm sure it won't make my screen display colors like a VGA monitor from the early 90s...
Also, there was already a thread about this. I know you seen it, cause the thread title is nothing special and the forum automatically searches similar threads...

So, does anyone know the original MobileOperator value for o2 Germany?
I'm sure I wrote it down but I can't find it currently.

Thanks, but there is nothing which seems to be o2 Germany. But I found this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10944163&postcount=195
And it says, o2-Germany is "O2O-DE". So I tried it and i got the HTC-Update, which did not pop up with "000-88".
So I can finally use the HTC hidden wifi App. Nice
I changed the reg-key using this manual: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12521628&postcount=6

I tried a few mobileoperator including
SIN-SG and O2O-DE, but I'm not getting any update from HTC?

omg. that sucks! htc has only 3 phones for wp7. how many weeks do they take to release update for mozart? D:

Don't hidden network IDs cause more security issues than just using MAC filtering? Or a half decent network code? Anyway, this update isn't worth my colors going to crap just to use an app that I don't think the average consumer gives a damn about anyway lol

OMG I have the surround and that happened to me yesterday too, I updated to official, nodo, and then i did a reset. and bam, HTC update lol I wonder what that fixed,

I'm currently having this update as well. Anybody knows what this does on HD7? Hope mine works well afterwards. I'm pretty happy with my phone right now at .7392
But I clicked the update button anyway.

what firmware did you have before update? you have a vodafone branded version or unbranded?

I thought this update was taken down by HTC with the last update? I only just got my WP7 Arrive a couple of weeks ago and am learning the quirks of it. I need this option for my work since the current OS, NoDo, doesn't support this. My work area has a hidden WiFi and with this not readily available I am stuck waiting until Mango becomes official as I don't want to install a incomplete Beta OS.
Where is everyone still finding the Hidden WiFi update. I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks

There is one app on the HTC hub in the marketplace that let the HTC handsets connect to hidden WiFi hotspots.

I haven't been able to locate it. I emailed HTC and they said they pulled it due to finding out it was an unsecure program or there were security flaws in the program so they took it off the shelf so to speak.

Here is the list of some features:
Full list can be found here: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/how-to...
Xbox Music. It’s now easier to select, download, and pin music.
Plus, music fans will see more accurate metadata(such as song and album information)
and many other performance improvements.
FM radio. Listen to FM radio right from the Music+Videos hub.(I'm not 100% sure our phone will get this,
I will have to check with HTC or Microsoft.)
Data Sense. Stay on top of your phone’s data usage with Data Sense. You can set a limit
based on your data plan, or just keep track of which apps use the most data.
(Not all mobile operators offer Data Sense.)
Internet Explorer. Your web browsing experience is now better than ever with improved
HTML 5 compatibility.
Skype. Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) apps like Lync and Skype now feature improved
stability and performance.
Camera. Set your favorite Lens so it opens automatically when you press the camera button.
(Not comfirmed for our phone!)
And many more improvements.

Jaxbot's Native Notification Center for Windows Phone 7.8

Weird thing i found is how invisible this release from WPH is.
The Notification Center, the dream of every Windows Phone is forgotten !
I tested the app on my own phone... it doesn't work. OK, but still i found absolutely no thread about this Xap, i think it could be developped if known better (jaxbot has retired from the WP7 scene i think, so i guess he won't do it. We can be grateful for this very good start)

Here is his the presentation of the app found i here
There's been more opposition for this project than with... well, I tried to come up with a good joke, but let's cut to the chase.
I've decided to release a rewrite I made of Notifications. It only works on full unlocked devices. Here's the details:
This app caches the push notifications sent to your phone. So if someone mentions you on Twitter, and you miss the toast, it will appear in Notifications.
This app does not cache non-push messages, such as texts, emails, calls, etc.
Complete rewrite; it works differently than the original Notifications app. No PC tether, no external servers, etc.
The NC service runs on the device. This is why you need your device to be full unlocked.
I'll repeat that. It must be full unlocked, meaning you must be able to run EXE programs on it.
The setup is simple. Download and install it to your device. Run the app, and it should take you to the setup page. Press install, then agree to the disclaimer. It will prompt you to reboot. Do so, and with any luck, it'll work.
I'm releasing it without support. Notifications works for some people, doesn't for others. The problem is likely to do with full unlocking. If you have a custom ROM that is fully unlocked, it should work. As for EXE unlocking rooted devices, it may be hit or miss. We'll see on that.
The source is available on Github. Download the XAP here: ncroot1.xap. If you didn't read anything else: You need a policy unlocked or full unlocked device. If your device is not full unlocked, read the instructions appended below.
Also, if you want to test if it works, install SimplePush. It'll send a quick toast to your device.
Other than that, enjoy. I'm curious to see what the feedback is, and whether or not it works in certain scenarios. I don't know what the demand is to keep working on it, but here it is, and with that, enjoy.
Update: Should now work on interop-unlocked devices, provided you use WP7 Root Tools. To do this, install the XAP, mark it as "Trusted", run Notifications, click Install, and reboot your phone. Presto. Do give feedback on whether or not this works.

It's just a http server written using .Net (not silverlight), that listens for every push notification. But I really don't know what we can develop in this application. Any idea?

well personnaly i don't like the idea to have notification push making my phone ring every minuts (if i'm active on facebook or twitter).
So i use snotify to silence the notifications. This app would be ideal to tell me what did i miss on what app.
That's an exemple for one use, but i'm sure there is many others.
Actualy for twitter, my dream would be an app that puts in cache every tweets i missed (or the number of tweet i missed, even if i'm not mentionned, or every tweet from some selected profiles) so i would know if its worth opening the app or no (instead of checkin every 10 mins if there's something interesting) but we're maybe out of subject !

Any idear why it wouldn't work on my device btw ? I am full unlocked (septvies's devbuild_8862 1.5) on samsung Omnia 7

S7 active update

Anyone else get the update??
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using XDA-Developers mobile app

It's installing now. Any idea what is new/updated in this?

got the update biggest change was wifi calling not sure what else

Just got mine used and updated it today. Saw the wifi calling but didn't read the rest, I did notice mine was on the May security update and now it's on the July update so could be that.

They also removed all traces of the Oculus software that was originally on our devices. So no chance of getting VR support for these devices in the future then

wifi calling now available (eg wifi-only calling, BUT no wifi-only messaging so thats kinda stupid...)
activity zone 'compass mode' with 'map mode' (which never worked, only said 'google services is updating' removed
advanced messaging (separate balloon per text/attachment, and 'xxx is typing' is new)

Great news! The recent update 8/11/2016 fixed the dpi error we were getting. I was able to successfully change my dpi using the display scaling app. View attachment 3839483

I checked on the official site (which just recently added the phone on the site, as I've been checking often), and they don't have any info on updates or anything posted yet.
So far I noticed: WiFi Calling and Messaging, Message Scheduling (Don't think I noticed this before), Security Update, Removal of Oculus (the setup for the full Oculus Software), Advanced Messaging for AT&T customers, and Text Counter.
If we see anything else, I'll add to this, or we can hope for release notes/ change log

Anyway i can update this without att sim? Im using cricket

Should be able to

I have the s7 active and the battery life is OK not great but ok and the update installed WiFi calling and text messaging works on WiFi

The only times I've ever had good battery life on any Android device were and continue to be from custom roms and kernels. No stock rom including stock nexus roms give me good battery life. That being said, my used S7A is actually not too bad for everything stock without root and it had better with such a big battery.

That is likely due to compression in the SMS client you're using. I don't know what AT&T's limitations are on file size for MMS, but I do know third-party SMS apps allow for tweaking of that. I use Textra currently, and can set a max upload/send size in the options. I know other SMS apps have similar functionality, but I doubt the stock one does.

Another update today, looks to be only security fixes for Aug. I'm actually surprised they released it IN Aug and not months down the line. Lol

General New System Update (62.1.A.0.587)

Hello,
this morning I got a message about a new system update 62.1.A.0.587, 313.5MB.
By searching the web I found no info related to this update, which is somehow strange.
I guess it could contain fixes for the various bugs that were reported on Android 12.
However, I think I will wait a while before update my device, just to be sure...
Any news?

I updated to this new build just a few hours ago, so far no issues. I had some issues on the previous build where taking pictures through WhatsApp didn't always work, seems to be fixed now. Let me know if you want me to test something.

Here's the details, they updated the security update version to april. Google play update you could already do on previous build independently.

I've just updated to this new version and to me it looks like the display issue (green tint, crushing of black levels) is finally gone. I hope I'm not getting crazy. I'll take a closer look after work.

Anyone using Android 12 found that Wifi auto-connect is not working? I mean even if Wifi is turned off. If you enter the range for a previously connected Wifi, the phone should automatically turn on Wifi and connect to it.
It used to work in Android 11 but doesn't work anymore since upgrading to Android 12.

mmm ... maybe I'm wrong,
but for me that option allows to auto-connect to a saved WiFi network only when the WiFi is ON.
How the device could be aware if you are in range of a WiFi spot if the WiFi itself is OFF?

I'm still using Android 11 as I decided to wait at least one update before upgrade to Android 12. But as this update didn't change the material layout, now I'm planning to wait some more...

It's a new feature introduced in Android 11. I don't know the exact technical details but it seems to utilize the location of the phone to detect if you're near a previously connected Wifi spot.
And according to the link below, this feature was broken after Android 12 Jan update and was fixed in Mar update.
Google Pixel 6 Wi-Fi auto-connect issue persists after January update
Some Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro owners say that their phone does not auto-connect to their Wi-Fi even though the setting is enabled.

https://www.androidpolice.com/2020/...matically-connect-to-specific-wi-fi-networks/ - "Android 11 has a new toggle in the settings panel for Wi-Fi networks called 'Auto-connect,' and when it is switched off, your device won't automatically connect to the given network as soon as it is discovered."
I think it's related to location, so location must be enabled. But this is just guess, as I don't use this option and wifi is always on.

I updated yesterday, everything seems fine for now, with no evident changes with respect to the previous one.
I appreciated the fact that Sony released two updates so closer in time.

I updated yesterday as well. After 24 hours I noticed that the battery drain caused by the previous update is much better now. No other notable changes other than that

After the last update that I wasn't happy with (pull-down menu became huge icons and having to click multiple times to turn on wifi, mobile internet etc...) I'll wait...

there are no changes in the UI
