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.

Hello,
The app is composed of 3 main screens:
1 panorama containing
- "my daily" : the incoming episodes. with buttons to mark episodes as acquired / watched. orange is for "aired" blue is for "acquired"
- "manager" : to manage favorite shows / add shows to favorites
- What's new : a random selection of the last updated shows.
Here are a few screen caps :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
White theme
1 other panorama containing the details on a show :
and a page containing details about each episode.
Off course, settings and "about"
it shows the number of episodes aired since the last launch of the app
video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3sh6jF4t6o
This app has been released in french, english and spanish, german should come soon
Data about episodes and shows are available thanks to tvDb.
V1.3 :
- language bug fixed, you can now look for a show in your native language (if supported by tvdb)
- show posters can now be saved to your picture library (they make excellent lock screens)
- diverse other improvements

Hey man, looks pretty good.
One thing that popped out at me: The refresh/sync button in the first set of screen shots. It looks like it will be a bit hard to hit (I've got fat fingers ). For an end users point of view it would probably be better in the application bar (although it may look a bit lonely there).
just my twocents
hello
Thanks for your answer !
it's a good suggestion, we will take care of this tonight
ps: video is (finally) working
youtube tag doesn't work?
Looks good. I really like the fact you get info on every episode of the show. It would be cool if would add reminders and live tile notifications of upcoming episodes. If that was added I'd pay $1.99 and if not $.99.
It is a nice app either way, but it would be a hard sell for more than 2 bucks.

I had one of these types of apps in progress before I just gave up on it due to not really feeling like finishing it. One idea that I wanted to integrate into mine, but never found out if it was possible was something like a calendar sync. You hit the button and bam, it will add it to your calendar to remind you which night a certain show might be premiering or returning to TV.
thanks yor your answers,
for the calendar, we wanted to do so, but no api is available in WP7, the only possibility was for us to access the users gmail account and send reminders in.
But it implied storing personal connection data, and we don't like that.
If new apis are available in new wp7 updates we will probably check it out
for the live tile, I think it will be in a V2
Looking good. Was actually looking for an app like this. I assume it will only show the original airdates in the country of origin? Would it somehow be possible to let the user add a custom day of week, so they can check what shows are on that day?
Hello
We originally wanted to convert airtime to the users timezone, but we don't have the "original timezone' information on tvdb.
For your other question : I didn't really understand what you mean.
(or maybe?) : you would like to see what airs on tuesdays for example?
or for a specific date?
Let's say I've added Big Bang Theory to my watch list. In the UK this show is on a Wednesday, so I'd assign that day to this show. Someone else might be watching the repeat on Fridays, so they pick that day instead.
Then somewhere in the app, I could check what's on each day of the week and if I looked on Wednesday it would list Big Bang Theory and any other shows I've flagged for that day.
It wouldn't have to have to say what episode or anything (no dates or times either), just that the show is on. Like a reminder and personalized TV guide.
I think it would be a great feature considering the fact that most shows air on different days around the world.
Appologies if this is already covered in the app, I didn't see it in the screenshots or video though.
Protip: Please add a notice in the app saying something along the lines of "All data provided by TheTVDB.com" and "if you enjoy our services and can afford it, please show us by donating" linking to our Donate page.
Also be advised there will be an official TheTVDB client in the future, with interactive functionality - i.e. ratings, personalized recommendations and so on. You've done some good work here though. If there are any API calls you feel could be optimized for mobile, do let me know (some have already been re-written specifically for WP7, although they are still in private testing).
Hello,
there is already the "about" section containing informations and links to tvdb. (I contacted Scott about this app)
News :
we added the live tile functionality!
If a new episode airs, the live tile will be updated.

I'd love to be one too!!!
Lol I actually thought the App had been released and searched for it...
Ugh I'm liking this app alot (Manga!!!!!) and I'd like to know if you guys have a time frame or any new developments
As for price, most might disagree with me.. But I do value the effort developers put towards their apps, and I am not afraid to go as far as $4-5 depending how fast updates and the application works. It's a service to us and an income to you ;-) Hopefully lol.
Hello,
We are currently tweaking the app to make it as fast as it gets and once it's done, it will be sent for validation to microsoft.
thanks for your replies.

Hello !
This week end was productive !
Trial / lite version will be available (limited to 3 favorite shows and no time limit)
The last freezes are gone.
Globalization works well ! (French and English for the moment, we should be able to do Spanish and German)
Thanks for your posts !
Good news. Thanks for the update. Looking forward to this app. Hope it's out soon.

We want anyone, anywhere, on any platform, to be able to check in with foursquare. When Microsoft unveiled Windows Phone 7, they wanted to make sure foursquare was available with their awesome new OS, and worked with us to build it. Today, we’re super excited to announce a total rebuild of the app, with a ton of new features.
We collaborated with Microsoft to develop the app entirely on our open API v2. The new version really speaks to the distinctive capabilities (and slick design!) of Windows Phone, while maintaining the foursquare features you know and love. Playing around with it, what’s cool is that it feels both familiar and new, with a personalized experience through the lens of Windows Phone 7′s panoramic UI.
Grab your official foursquare Windows Phone 7 app from the Windows Phone Marketplace, and check out the Microsoft on ISVs blog for more info on the development process.

Anyone on Mango having issues installing the most recent update of the 4sq app? 2.1 tells me I need a newer version of Windows Phone to install it.
I can see that there is a new 2.1 version listed in the marketplace, but the only way I could install it was to uninstall/reinstall (BTW, I'm not running the Mango beta). But even after doing that, it reports the version as 2.0.0.1153, and it's still painfully slow to load.
I have 2.0.0.1153
I can't get 2.1 on Mango for now. A bit slow but okay I suppose.
After some testing... its a gorgeous app, bringing out some of the best WP7 can have, but its performance next alot of tuning.
Compared to 4th & Square, its still pretty slow.
I installed it before Mango and it works fine, sometimes a bit sluggish.
I also noticed the live tile doesn't update immediately. Sometimes it takes a restart of the app.
Brand new update released recently now installs on Mango rather than giving you an error message.
But now, the brand new update of 4th & Mayor does not install on Mango.

I haven't seen any thread on what people have noticed from the update. So it would be nice if people who have updated to 8107 could comment on what sorta fixes they've noticed besides the dissapearing keyboard/stuff on the changelog. Any speed improvements? Also, does the gmail issue fix the server search? I've been waiting a log time for that fix
My Titan is louder! especially with microsoft tell me and navigation instructions.
Also it seems snappier and either ATT upped our internet it this area the same night, or my browser seems faster (full foxnews or cnn in about 2 seconds... note not mobile versions)
Text word prediction also seems to have gotten very accurate. Like it was back in the pre nodo days. (it seemed less accurate especially after mango)
Anyone else see anything new?
i have an ATT titan as well, im just a little hesitant to update it. What happens when the official update comes out? Also, have you ever noticed the problem where if you send multiple messages in a chat application or maybe even text messages, the last word from the previous message gets repeated in the new message? I hope thats gone too
Yeah im waiting for att to push this update next week. Not doing the manual update
Sent from my T8788 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
I haven't seen anything new jump out at me so far after installing 8107 last night. Maybe it's all in my head, but everything does seem a split second faster and more responsive too. I did have a problem earlier this evening where a text message started coming in and then my phone got permanently stuck in airplane mode. I had to reboot to get airplane mode to finally turn off.
I did the manual update on an ATT TITAN. Seems snappier somehow to me as well, but it might be wishful thinking.
I am not that worried about wanting to take a different path once they release since I can just restore from backup and then take the update.
If I notice anything substantial I will post back tomorrow.
there're some changes in the configuration menu, like date and time and mobile data connection

8107 on Focus S
I went ahead with the update. My notes:
Keyboard no longer disappears, but keyboard lag that plagues the Focus S is still there (it might be better than before - I'd gotten used to it and now I only notice the lag during high speed typing).
Overall system performance feels the same; that is, still fast.
I don't connect to Exchange so I can't comment on the fix that was supposed to happen in 7740.
I do not have either the 3G toggle or the ability to sync with a carrier time clock. Both options might be device or carrier specific (I haven't run the Samsung utility).
When someone mentioned their device seems louder, it made me realize my phone is louder too - my system sounds have been louder, notably the sound when you charge it and reminders. Music and call volume through headphones and bluetooth are unchanged. I think Mango quieted system sounds (which I liked), and now this update has returned them to pre-Mango volume level.
I haven't tested the so-called SMS bug (because I don't want to hard reset my phone if it isn't fixed).
My guess is this release won't be sent out to all users, only users of devices or on carriers where the fixes are appropriate. I bet when they fix the SMS issue, they'll force a cumulative update. I hope that's soon.

How would you do that? The combination of characters to cause this bug hasn't been revealed yet, has it?
At least I hope it hasn't.
But according to a tweet by Tom Warren (who was apparently involved in uncovering this bug) has confirmed that the bug has not been fixed. Also this version (8107) is from early December before the SMS bug was made public.

If Google "fixes" that (fixes = implements), then yes... This is not MS's problem. Google does not offer Exchange. What they offer is some wannabe implementation of exchange that doesn't support server-side search. They provide it just on Android - and only in their proprietary application. Nor iOS, nor WM can do that either.
Gmail server search has always worked on my old iPhone.
I do not have either the 3G toggle or the ability to sync with a carrier time clock. Both options might be device or carrier specific (I haven't run the Samsung utility).

Music is different. I can't put my finger on it but it's not louder, but i guess on my higher quality songs i got from zune, it seems clearer on my titan. Also no click between songs.
Is it just me or do the live tiles seem to start moving faster as you get to them?
Also does your browsing on the internet (using desktop mode) seem faster? Mine does.
More snappier. Performance
more typing accuracy.
slightly , but very slight battery life improvement
WiFi seems slightly faster now.
Te keyboard disappearing problems seems to be solved.
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

Hello,
I live in Korea and not an AT&T carrier user. So, I have never received AT&T's OTA.
I tried to connect my Galaxy S7 Active to Samsung Smart Switch, but Samsung Smart Switch says my phone's firmware is the newest version.
My phone's baseband version is G891AUCU1APE7, and build number is MMB29M.G891AUCU1APE7.
Am I unable to update my phone forever?
I want to update my phone's firmware.
I desperately need your help...
Update lên pi2
Has anyone yet figured out how to either find or port the "NEW YouTube for Android TV 2.0" x86 APK to an ARM APK? We have waited over a year for a new version, yet its only for x86. It is disturbing that this new YouTube version is not available on the SHIELD TV almost immediately.

You've waited a year, you can wait some more. APKmirror is probably the place where it will show up first.

Yeah lets hope so. And no I didn't wait a year. I flashed Full Android on mine so I wouldn't have to wait for newer YouTube versions any more. It was the only reason I went to FULL Android because the Youtube for Android TV was really showing its age and crashing all the time. You pay a premium for a premium device, so you should expect a premium experience in return. Otherwise they are not doing their jobs.
What's interesting is that this youtube 2.0 UI is exactly how youtube looks like on my old and loud Xbox360!!

Yeah some say it looks like the HTML Smart TV version below. I'm not so sure until I actually see it on my SHIELD TV.

So it can't be ported to arm format?
I have this new format on my Smart TV, and it may well do away with that crappy Red Bar that pops up when you try to pause on something. But that said, the new Layout sucks donky balls. And Google can take their sweet gentels with porting it to the Shield.
Though I have to say (Even given the decentralized nature), of my Smart TV), I'm kinda shocked the OEM has even botherd. Considering the TV was sold in 2015. And, picked up about a year ago on clearance. But it was hard to say no to a 50" 3D 4k LED set. Even if the Smart TV bits of it tended to also suck.

Good question. Maybe it is exclusive to the Nexus Player. Or they are just testing it on the NP before releasing it to 3rd party devices. Who knows? Without an official statement of what's going on we can only speculate. I guess Android TV must not be very big or as important of a platform to warrant updates.
apk for arm device is available on apk mirror (v2.00.17):

Someone was looking at this threat actually was looking for some tutorial in how to port it, but google has done the work for us, we should thank them
Yeah they were working on it all along but released the x86 version first for some reason. Maybe the arm versions had a must fix first before release bug?

Really I don't like very much this new version, I don't know about you, but the app crashes when you try to type anything on video search.
No crash for me
But option to change quality video is gone:crying:
The user reviews are in the toilet as well. I'm no longer in a hurry to try it. However I can't get last year's YouTube version to not crash either. It's easily the #1 most unstable app I use by far.

I updated it and hated it and immediately rolled back to the old one. My problem is I got 2 Youtube accounts associated with my Google account. My primary account I created about 10 years ago with all my subscriptions and the G+ one it forced me to create a few years back, which I don't use.
Under the old app, it allowed me to select the account I wanted to use:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Under the new account, it won't allow me to select the account I want, and only shows the G+ account saying my other account isn't available.
I downloaded and installed it and I hated it as well... There's no rolling text on the thumbnails so you have to open each video just to read the full title... no comments as well, no add to watch later no anything good... rolling back to the old version as this one sux.

New app is ugly and slow (everything seems to require more clicks to get there).
Besides the ability to select resolution being removed, many Sony TVs lost the ability to play 4k (they locked it to a max of 1440p).
This version is going to need some work.

Do we really believe Google will be working on it??? :/
Yeah, and not only that, when I updated to the new Youtube app it used my "original" Youtube account before Google bought them out. So hundreds of my subscriptions and all my proper recommendations were missing and I couldn't recognize my own Youtube channel. It was like starting all over again on Youtube from scratch. And worse still, it wouldn't even offer me the ONLY account I ever use, yes the same one I have been using every day since Google bought Youtube, it was completely missing as an account option.
So I was forced to reset back to the original Youtube app and it immediately offered me and connected to the proper account. Is it really this hard for a multi Billion dollar corporation such as Google to code these apps?
I sort of meant someone HERE might take a look under the hood.
