hi
I have bought my htc hd7 from o2 germany.
2 weeks ago, mango upgrade is available for my phone. I have updated my WP succesfully but,
this mango is different.
no messenger, no wifi hotspot, no general ringtone option etc.
my mango version is 7.10 (7720)
In you opinion, what is the problem?
Hey buddy...I don't think the official wifi hotspot and general ringtone have been released.therefore, we are on the same boat,no worries.
In regards to the messenger,make sure you sign in to the correct windows live account,as microsoft don't allow secondary live account to get the messenger functionality and they blocked IM+ from offering live messenger...which is shame....
If you confirmed you use the same live messenger account as the primary account in your phone,then you can just simply go into messaging hub and set the chat status to online. For facebook,just go to setting and add the facebook account.
thanks for you reply.
when do they release these options for mango? do you have any information about this?

For the wifi hotspot,i think it is coming soon...got people reported that Mozart in India already receiving the latest HTC update which added the wifi hotspot function. However,not sure when for htc HD 7...I think it won't be too long.
For the ringtone stuff,I didn't use custom ringtones much(honestly never use it before). AfAIK, there are apps on marketplace that you can buy and download some new ringtone...
Is it a spl update?
i can't remember an older spl but now,spl is 5.xx

I'm ready to upgrade/flash my Dash, but just wondering, what exactly is the upside of WM6? I'm happy to be an early adopter and all that, but what will I notice to be improved?
if you haven't read every thread posted here about wm6 then you aren't ready to install it yet.
there are quite a few important changes you need to make imediately after installing.
the main advantages for me are the email enhancements and xt9 staying off pemanently. it also looks prettier. windows live seems to work better as well.
oh and the early adopters downloaded and installed it a month ago

Thanks! Could you be more specific about the e-mail enhancements?

Is that it? How about alert customization depending on the account or something?
I have the files on my PC ready to go but I'm still using WM5 because I don't want my device phoning Microsoft or T-Mobile with my IMEI or other information. While you can disable it, the idea that your device phone's home should be kind of scary to you. Also, its BETA. I don't want my phone going crazy while I am on the road and I need it most.

its more then just html but that is nice.
you have the option to send mail when you hit send instead of having to hit send/receive as well.
you can keep mail on the server when you delete off the phone.
delete is moved to the left softkey instead of having to go into the menu.
I'm using WM6 on two devices, and although I wouldn't go back to the previous version, WM6 is JUST LIKE WM5. It's just that the majority of the applications have something or another that makes it that much more usable.
What I mean is, there are quite a few little features (and a couple additional applications) that make it an "upgrade." It's just like how WM5 was an upgrade to WM2003. It isn't an upgrade as much as it's update, if that makes any sense...
I'm pretty sure WM6 doesn't "phone home" or anything. I imagine this would have been found out by this point.
installation process
But, it sounds like upgrading is a whole lot more complicated than just running RUU_Excalibur... on my unlocked T-Mobile Dash. I then have to do a bunch of other mysterious steps?

He's talking about the app on the t-mobile beta wm6 rom which sends an SMS to a UK number frequently thus running up a high phone bill. Once that app is uninstalled it appears to be ok.

But there isn't exactly a step by step guide, at least none I found on a search.
You could write one...
I am using WM6 since first HERMES build appear.
PRO
Faster
Nice grafic presentation
Some applets (office mobile for smartphone could be one)
Windows LIVE (but is also available ad WM5 add-on)
CON
Is at least a RTM bur still some beta's DLL and drivers are out, meaning unpredictable results with some appz
No big improvements, I am using smartphone notes and documents to go and I HAVE a better office sute, having even some PPT editing, nice word usability and formatting
Needs to be patched just to work normally
HTML e-mail works ONLY with exchange server 2007
Conclusion
The Excalibur HTC ROM is fast and stable (we are talking STABLE in terms of a windows system ). Documents to go is much better than WM6 office, no compatibility for both with office 2007 doc formats, nothing really improved having the WM6 Rom at this stage .
WM6 is a MS business to boost VISTA compatibility and exchange server 2005 sales (all important new features are available ONLY uif you use exchange server 2005)
From user point of view better graphic is the only real enhancement
WM6 really shines when you are a corporate user with Exchange 2007 airsync. You have stuff like rights management, sharepoint proxy, calendaring enhancements and better office integration (with lates office clients you can also use new formats). There is much more info on the M$FT website.

correct me if im wrong .. I believe this is the latest windows live v10.6.33.0600, click on my link below my signature to get the latest version. theres a lot of other stuff as well.
There are 2 newer versions then the one provided in the link above, but they do not include Live Messenger. They are 10.6.38 and a 10.6.40. If you need Live Messenger then the 10.6.34.800 is the newest version.
Here is the official link off of Microsofts website.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/mobile/wl/download-en-us.mspx
I also learned something new which is probably the cause of all my recent WM Live problems on 6.1 ROMS. On 6.0 ROMS I could install it on the storage card, but on 6.1 ROMS it was completely jacking up my phone.
Q: Can I install this product on a Storage Card?
A: No, Windows Live can currently only be installed to your device’s internal storage. Storage cards are not supported for this application as it extends several Windows Mobile features.
and the beta version use to aloow you to send a nudge from your device
not anymore bastards! loved that feature!

That is for Windows Live, messenger is not included. Here is the file for Windows Live Messenger 10.6.34.800
Thank you soooo much!!!!
I re-flashed my phone removing windows live+messenger from it because data plans here in NZ cost a small fortune (and i wanted a lighter rom for flashing), only to discover I could connect to my home wireless with 6.1 (and couldn't with the old 5.0 on my apache)
Thank you so much for the .cab for live+messenger. Damn microsoft removing it from the download. VERY UNCOOL!!!!

I have tried everything but I can't get messenger working the way it's supposed to.
I have the Verizon branded HTC Touch Pro, which doesn't ship with wlm. I've been able to get the one of MS's site (with no wlm) and it works fine. But no wlm. So I tried the "fixed" cab install, which installs and the program shows in the list of apps. But when I click it it doesn't do anything. The interface also gets screwy and theirs like artifact-lagging from menus. The first time I got it running, it showed up on the today screen and loaded my live ID, but just wasn't responding to my input. I unistalled and have tried it again but now the button for the app doesn't even do anything. Click, no response.
Help!
this is not a custom ROM, it's the stock wm6.1 pro for a "ralph".

wm6.5
does anyone have a tested version that works with 6.5
Im gettin a weird message by setting up windows messenger.
I installed it, and tried to run messenger, then this message appears:
"The Windows live id service requires a certificate, but yours isnt working. you can probably fix this by updating the time and date in your device´settings. Afer you do that, try connecting again."
I tried change date and time, but it wont work.
Anyone an idea?
guys this news is straight from Microsoft's Worldwide partner conference.....
Windows Phone 7 will come bundled with a new updated version of MyPhone ... And from now on all serives including premium services are free! go here...

When did they say that? I wouldn't be too shocked to see them actually update "my phone" with a new version that works with "Windows Phone Live". At least I hope they do. The back-end is likely extremely similar. Mostly just new UI and branding. Shoot, all the URLs they're using are still "myphone.microsoft.com"
myphone is liked to your live account so it wont be a problem as windows phone live (as the name suggests) will also limk to your live account.

ms wont stop myphone.. as it comes pre-installed in stock roms of 6.5 and 6.5.3.... it would embaras ms if customer buys a handset, and is asked on the myphone to get updated to the win phone live!! window phone live is a myphone only for windows phone 7.. windows phone live is a markettin strategy of ms for WINDOWS PHONE 7. they are willing to a give.. ah.. 25gb of space for file transferring, which is not in myphone.
myphone may get later updated for windows phone live... but quite later
It's just a name change + a 25gb free skydrive. Why do you complain about being given free features and upgraded cloud-space?
Actually, I'm looking forward to LiveMyPhone to be hacked to WM-non7 phones. I'm using MyPhone since beta stage and it always worked flawlessly, got evolved with new functions and now it's getting Skydrive-powered-25GB online storage... I want that now!
EDIT: they say you can even erase/locate your cell from remote for free (now you pay for that feats)... suck it, MobileMe! XD
Maybe the GPS will be good enough so that if I loose my phone in my house I can tell what room it is in xD. I'm excited about the 25GB transfer limit this will be great if we start having hacked roms and can get all of our files from the cloud upon loading a new ROM. If new ROM's will even be nessicary anymore of course.
I have a HTC Tilt2 (ATT) and there was a official ROM that was released for this mobile.
But i was just wondering if i can update this... Iam NOT using this mobile now. However i unlocked mobile with official unlock code provided my HTC / ATT.
Now if i update this latest version of ROM (1.something to 2.10.502.4), then will i have to unlock the phone again ??? I was just wondering if i need a new unlock code or the same unlock code that was provided to me earlier should work here.
I am sure it should work (my assumption - as long as IMEI of the mobile is same, unlock code should work). But just wanted 2 take a confirmation before i get my mobile updated.
Can some expert advise on this ???
ALSO can somebody tell me how to take a back of all contacts data / music data / video data from this mobile and restore it after getting it updated to a new ROM ?
THANKs in ADVANCe

Just use activesync or WMO device center to back up your info or use pim backup your unlock should not change
I have updated a registry editor (that works with HTC devices) that I found here on xda to work with non-interop unlocked devices (viewing only). If you want to edit entries you will have to add the interop line to the manifest file manually. If you don't know how to do this then look it up .
If the OP of this app has any issue with me doing this please contact me and I will take it down.
I made is so the search bar is hidden by default
Added Icons for folder vs. entry
Added custom splash and icons
Made it so you can use the back button. No more having to click [..]
Interop unlock not needed
Added a few paths that were missing from the old version
Added tilt effect to selected item in the list view. This makes it easier to identify which item you are actually clicking on
Added an exit button to close the application since you might not want to have to hit back a bunch of times.
If you have any suggestions please feel free to tell me
2011-11-17: Added exception handling
bleh, just realized I'm an idiot
I am glad I could be of service
Thank you a lot,great App!
It does not works on my HD2 does anyone tested working on HD2
THX, works fine on htc 7 pro
It does not works on my HD2.
So if this is a registry editor that works on mango htc devices.
Couldn't we interop unlock our HTC devices by just setting the max apps above 300?
I'm upgrading to mango this weekend and I would love to interop unlock my device so I can attempt to get internet sharing working.
With a cdma Sprint Arrive, there is no custom bootloader so interop unlocking is our only shot to get internet sharing working right now

App does not work on VZW HTC Trophy. It tries to launch for a second and then closes. Wonder if this is due to having the HTC updates that came after Mango?
On my fully updated HD7 with 7.10.7720 that is chevon unlocked, this app opens then closes right back. It allows me to see the screen for like half a sec.

What is the FULL version that you are running and what ROM are you using (stock or custom)?
For example my Radar is 7.10.7720.68
Stock 7.10.7720.68 - my phone is in my sig. Thanks
Hmm. I will test it on my sister's HD7 and see if I can debug it. Strange thing is I am not using anything that is specific to the Radar. Thank you for the Full version number. Those last 2 digits do help
There have been issues with some versions of DllImport on HTC Mango phones. The latest one works on my HD7 though. However, this app does not.
7720.68 (Retail build) but none of the HTC updates (so ComRegRW and ComFileRW still work). Speaking of which, I notice you've included them in the XAP - considering that they're useless on most HTC phones, that's not terribly good use of storage.
Love the icon/splash screen though. Also, thank you for not installing in the Settings hub; I actually really am not much of a fan of that.
Can you link me to a dll import file that does work on your device? I can update the code to see if that helps.
1.4 with the custom tile system seems to work:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1006331. 1.3 didn't work for me, though I don't know why.
Hi,
it's really a nice looking register editor but unfortunately it doesn't work on my hd7, deepshining v3.1, 7.10.7720.68
i'm ready to use it instead of schaps one so...strenght & bravery bro!
Works on my titan. Really neat looking app.
Turns out it must be the NativeLibrary or the DMXMLCOM.dll that are giving people issues.
I just added some exception handling to the xap. Please re-download and try again. Provide me with the exception it throws.
