You perhaps mean Windows Mobile?



I agree. They are remarkably dissimilar. I am in the process of bettering what is already great, however, as Mango is busy downloading for my HTC 7 Mozart. Ridiculously quick rollout.

I have a SA HTC Mozart from Leaf SA (Lab88) with Vodacom sim card and I am not getting any update at all. Where did you get your phone?

I agree with the rest, you are obviously not talking about Windows Phone 7. You would be amazed once you try one.

Bought it at 8ta. Still have the 8ta SIM in. Perhaps 8ta isn't large enough for Microsoft to test it with them. Vodacom falls under Vodafone, which is gonna be a while, I'm guessing.

Aw man! You are so lucky! I've also got an HTC Mozart with 8ta and there's no update available for me yet. I can't wait!
 
Busy installing Mango right now.
I have an HTC Mozart that I got from a guy that bought it in Taiwan I think.
I'm with Vodacom

:)
 
I have the TMobile HTC HD7 and according to the MS USA page, it is being scheduled while some of the others are already rolling out. :(
 
Woohoo! The disconnect trick works! My phone is busy backing up for the update. :D

It took a couple of tries to get the timing right. Thanks for mentioning it Mike. :)
 
Connect your Windows Phone to a PC and launch the Zune software
Click on Phone > Settings > Update. Allow the software to tell you whether an update is available. If so, skip this guide. If not continue to the next step.
Click the update button again, and this time disconnect your computer from the internet after 1-2 seconds. Do this by pulling the Ethernet cable, disabling Wi-Fi, etc. If it says your phone is already up to date, you didn’t disconnect quickly enough and need to try this step again.
Wait 30 seconds or so and you should receive a notification that an update is available. This is 7392, the Mango pre-update.
Now reconnect to the internet and continue with the update process through the Zune software.
After 7392 is fully installed, you may receive a notification that another update is available. If so, install Mango now. If not, proceed to the next step.
If the second update isn’t popping up on its own, repeat steps 3-5, causing the 7403 update to appear.
Install 7403, brave reader.
Mango time! At this point, Zune should automatically start installing 7720, Mango. If it doesn’t happen automatically, force it like in previous steps.
This last step is very important! Celebrate your phone’s new found Mango status by purchasing a mango smoothie at your nearest Smoothie King, Jamba Juice, or Baskin Robbins.

How does it know a update is available if you disconnect it?

The theory is that it first checks to see if theres an update, once it knows there is it check to see if your SP has allowed it. By disconnecting at the perfect time the second call fails and it will tell you that you can update(because it found out already that there is an update). At which time you plug back in and proceed.
I am *almost* sure that this is by design to allow people to get past the politics of SP testing, and is more like a hidden feature than a bug.

P.S WOOT!
 
:'( Mango is running and it is amazing AND I CAN'T DOWNLOAD A THING THANKS TO SOUTH AFRICA.

There seems to be an issue somewhere that is making it impossible for me to download any apps. I wanted to use meteor so badly! (Try it if you have windows 7, looks amazing!)
Anyway this seems to be a South Africa only issue. Or am I alone.
 
Whohoo, download is working. Mine was took a lot of testing from .5 -6 seconds as I assume the download server needs to be contacted first before you can switch your connection off and this will be determined by your dialup speed.
 
Somebody needs to edit the 1st post with this. Let it check for updates once, then check a second time and as it starts, disconnect your connection to the internet
 
yippee, i checked once, no luck, twice, no luck, then followed the disconnect trick twice before it showed update available... step 7 of 10.... excitedly and impatiently waiting for it to complete :) MTN - HTC Mozart....
 
quick question tho, does it make a difference if you bypass the SP check? i.e. using the disconnect method? would this be the exact same update one would have received had it gone via the SP "approved" check?

Identical yes. It just checks for a yes or no.

Can you access the marketplace at all? Where exactly is it failing? Also, random thought, but try on 3G if you have airtime as some users have reported problems on WiFi.
