Today, I received 3 new updates for my HTC Mozart Windows Phone. The latest version number is 7.10.8779.8. My current version was 7.10.8107.
The first update I received was 7.10.8112.7. It was a small update took few seconds to download. One new enhancement is that instead of forcing the phone data backup it given me an option to apply the update without taking backup (a checkbox provided) which was brilliant as it saved lot of time.

To my surprises after the previous update I saw another Windows Update screen. This time the update version was 7.10.8773.98 from 7.10.8112.7. This update took almost 5 minutes on my broadband connection.
I got surprised again when I saw the 3rd update in a row. And this time the update was smaller as it took about 10-20 seconds to download & its version number is 7.10.8779.8.
So this way I received 3 updates in 1 row. At this point I could not find any new feature as such except minor performance improvement while launching applications. I will share my experience if I explore anything new.
THE END.

How can you be so sure that its Tango and not just some minor update for that device??
7.10.8112.7 is an OS number not a Firmware revision number

The blog shows an OS version number that would be consistent with a general update. On devices if a device specific firmware update happens the number looks totally different... in my short experience. Never heard of the blog though so it still could be bogus.
I'm connected to Zune as I type this and I'm not getting any updates. Doesn't necessarily mean anything. MSFT has been known to roll out updates sequentially around the country and the world. Happens all the time on Xbox 360.

Since Microsoft first released Windows Phone 7, I convinced my self to "NOT BUY" the very first release because I know and I think most of us knows that a few months or weeks, an improved version will be available.. Well probably upgrading a ROM is the answer but anyway, my few suggestions to improve some navigations.
A like to suggest in horizontal panning effect which I think is a very nice and beautiful. But to improve the navigation, here are some my suggestion.

Ok. So another one would be, in Application List navigation.
also posted in my blog site
http://jaysonragasa.net/post/A-few-suggestion-for-Windows-Phone-7.aspx
To be honest, those are nice concepts. I can easily see the Application list getting changed to allow grid support. Can't say much about the other.
FYI Windows Phone 7 is going to be very easy to update. It has a real updater unlike Windows Mobile. You wont have to flash a rom and wipe out all your apps and settings to get OS updates anymore. At least thats what Microsoft is claiming.

the question is, will it be "free" ? which I don't believe it will.
and if not .. well most of us I think will still swim around this kind of site for free upgrade, patched ROMs that we will still injecting in our phone's vains
EDIT:
-- ok, so hopefully it will be free like Windows OS
another suggestion would be
Bing search results.
Will it be nice to search inside your phone too such as Contacts, Applications, Calendar, and files? here's the preview.
A couple of days ago, a notification to update SPDClient appeared in Galaxy App Store (Samsung Apps). But what is this app for, and what does the update do? The descriptions does not show any relevant information and there are many comments asking what does this app do.
Does anyone know about this app?

It tells you in the app description what it is.

I also got that and was little afraid of updating, worrying if Samsung trying to sneak some security update for Knox, or root discovery etc.(I'm stock rooted). But it seems to be internal driver related to data exchange over networks, possibly updated due to new hardware like VR or S-watch. I updated it now, so in case I buy Samsung watch or some other new hardware in near future, I won't go crazy wondering why it doesn't work, since once you decline the update, usually doesn't come back anymore.

My phone just got a notification that it was downloading a software update from AT&T. It then asked me to restart and now it's 50% done updating.
Just wondering what the update does? Anyone know?
Got the notification, haven't done it

Same here. Have no idea what it is. I'm coming up empty on Google too.
Yup, installed earlier, only thing I have noticed is the stagefright fix.

178 apps were "optimized" on restart. Can't see or feel anything different.

Apps are always optimized after an update.

The apps that are impacted by the update are. 178's a pretty low number but the update was only 80(ish)MB. Going from 4.X to 5.X my Note 12 optimized 600+ apps on restart. Services are considered apps too. Right after I rebooted Play Services updated itself too. To 8.1.15.

It's an app, here is what you would have seen before the update
Got mine too. Updated and poked around the settings and features to see if Samsung added anything that they removed from the Note 4. Nothing so far.
I also checked to see if the aggressive task killing stopped. I'm getting a consistent 6 apps staying loaded after some tests, previously it was four or five depending on whats open. Anyone else notice this?
I just updated and Googled idk.
There's a thread in the general section. Looks like the update fixed the wireless charging issue many of us were having as well as improving performance a bit.

I've read a bunch of posts here and on reddit and I'm a bit confused. Can someone confirm what the current / latest OTA Android Wear / Wear OS version should be on a stock HW1?
I'm at 2.0.0.xxxx but I keep hearing reports of people being on newer versions. like 2.9 and 2.12. My watch says it's up to date. Anyone know for sure? And if I should have something newer, does anyone have an idea about how to get it?

OK, like an idiot I figured this out myself just minutes after posting
Maybe this will help someone in the future -- don't use the built-in "Update" funtion in settings. Open the Play Store on the watch and you'll see a Wear OS update at the top of the "Essentials for Wear OS" category.
Updating to Wear OS directly from Play Store took me to 2.16:

Where do you see anything related to Wear OS in the Play Store without searching? My PS has nothing about that, and the watch is updated whenever I update the Wear app.

Sorry I had a typo in there. Play store on the watch has the update option (not phone)

Oh yeah, thats right, that makes far more sense. Thanks!
On Friday I received a notification on my phone that an update was available for my T810S that I'm running in the USA on Cricket!

So, it's finally available!
Anyways, I just finished up backing up the images and other things from my phone, and am going to try installing it tonight.
My 64GB SD card has been full for some time, and I was saving stuff to the internal phone memory, which I don't like to do. But, I got everything copied to my PC, my RAID server and my backup drive, so I'm going to clean the items from my phone and do the update.
I sure hope that this fixes the notification issues.
Alright, I was able to successfully install the Android 12 update!
I really like the upgraded looks of the user interface changes, and it showed me a nice little tour of the Android 12 features. The extended screenshot capability feature could be really useful.
I'll give an update in a few days to let you know how it's working.
Here are the screenshots.
After clicking the install button it started showing a slow percentage increase, so I left it alone for half an hour while I did other stuff. When I came back, it was showing this.
After the update, it showed this:
Here's the About Phone screen, showing that I'm now running Android 12.
Just a quick update to let you all know that everything has been working well for my TCL 20 Pro 5G (T810S) since I installed the Android 12 update. I actually get notifications from all of my applications, and battery life doesn't seem to be any different than when I was on Android 11. Having notifications from all apps again is a real game changer for me!
I uninstalled and reinstalled some of the applications that I had previously manually tweaked the power settings on.
The only oddity that I noticed, is that if I have JBV1 auto-start with Android Auto (like I've always had), it locks up Waze and freezes Android Auto! I need to look into why that is happening, but for now I just disabled the auto-start functionality of JBV1.
