Windows Phone update history
We think even great software can always get better. That's why we periodically release Windows Phone software updates to add new features you've asked for and to maximize your phone's performance.
When a software update is available for you to download, we'll let you know. A notice will appear on your phone, telling you to connect your phone to your computer. (For details about the process, see Phone updates.)
To ensure quality, we release updates on a staggered schedule throughout the world. Many factors influence when you'll receive an update, including which phone model you have and which company provides your mobile service. We're committed to delivering updates in a timely manner, but don't be surprised if it takes a few weeks for us to notify you that an update is available for your phone.
The scope of each update varies. Sometimes we'll include only a few minor fixes or tweaks and sometimes we'll include brand-new features. When it's available, we'll also pass along software from phone manufacturers that improves the performance of specific phone models.
See How do I update my phone software? to learn how to check if there's an update available for you to download and which version of the Windows Phone operating system (OS) is currently on your phone.
Here's a summary of what we've included in each update so far.
March 2011
OS version: 7.0.7390.0
•
Copy & paste. You asked for it—now it's here. Just tap a word and drag the arrows to copy and paste it on your phone. You can copy text from emails, text messages, web pages, and Office Mobile documents, and paste it anywhere you can type. To learn more, see Copy & paste.
•
Faster apps and games. Nobody likes to wait. That's why we've whittled down the time it takes for apps and games to start up and resume. It's all part of our focus on getting you to the things you love, easier and faster.
•
Better Marketplace search. We've streamlined Marketplace search to make it easier to find specific apps, games, or music. Press the Search button in the Apps or Games section of Marketplace and you'll see only apps or games in the results. Press Search in the Music section of Marketplace to search just the music catalog.
•
Other Marketplace improvements. We've improved the stability of Marketplace while you download apps. We've also improved the experience of downloading apps larger than 20 megabytes, upgrading from trial apps to paid apps, using a credit card with an address outside the United States, sharing links to apps via email, sorting Xbox LIVE games by release date, and creating an Xbox LIVE account from within the Games Hub.
•
Wi-Fi improvements. We now display your phone's Media Access Control (MAC) address in Settings. (You might need this info if you try to connect to a Wi-Fi network that uses MAC address filtering. To learn more, see Connect to a Wi-Fi network.) We've also removed the limit on the number of Wi-Fi profiles that you can store and reduced the time it takes to start your phone if you've stored lots of Wi-Fi profiles.
•
Outlook improvements. We've improved the experience of viewing iPhone photo attachments you receive from a non-Exchange-based email account (such as a Google Mail, Hotmail, or Yahoo! Mail account), using the Global Address List (GAL) when connecting to Exchange Server 2003 using Exchange ActiveSync, and working with email display names that contain brackets (for example, "David Alexander [Contoso]").
•
Messaging improvements. We've improved the experience of receiving Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) messages if your phone uses a PIN-locked SIM.
•
Facebook integration. We've improved the experience of syncing Facebook accounts.
•
Camera improvements. We've improved the stability of switching between camera and video modes.
•
Audio improvements. We've improved the experience of using a Bluetooth headset to make calls when you're playing music or videos.
•
Other performance improvements. This month's update also includes software from several phone manufacturers that improves the performance of specific models. Naturally, if you don't have one of the affected models, we won't install this portion of the update on your phone.
February 2011
OS version: 7.0.7008.0

We made some improvements to the way we deliver software updates to ensure that the process keeps working smoothly for you.

did you try plugging it in to a computer with zune installed?
Zune still reports 7.0 (7008) for me (UK)
Hmmm... This seems to be good news. I am in Canada and my HD7 still says that I dont have any updates as of yet so I guess the waiting game begins.
Does anyone happen to know if there is a reported schedule for which countries the update will be going top first and then in what sequence from there?
HD7 my t mobile usa .. There is no update for me. ?
ok here in greece!updated!
Switzerland still no update
Unbranded (to Euro) O2 UK, received the update.

Microsoft is slowly distributing the update to a number of unbranded devices worldwide and owners should see the update notification shortly. Carrier branded devices are a whole different story. A number of mobile operators, Orange, O2 and AT&T blocked the first Windows Phone 7 patch update when it was originally released. It’s not yet clear when carrier branded devices will receive update notifications. WinRumors understands that O2 UK should be pushing the update to its range of devices on March 24.
I had installed the "xda" nodo via gold card, and it still wants me to update (could it be footballs euro release was not GOLD<g>), anyhoo here goes nothing...
Schmoo!

Football release was 7389 version...I think that this is the "official" update from Microsoft (7390)
Thanks,

same here. no update on my branded phone in austria (A1)
Interesting - it all worked, but it only kept the last restore point (it blatted the previous one)!
Schmoo
Well I won't waste any time looking for diffs so! Football rules (if I didn't mention before LOL)
Schmoo
Actually from a serious point of view - I could have fernangled zune backups so I could always return to a V1 side-loadable OS.
Also I bet these backups are in some password protected VHD format (since MS have been using them for many things of late - including the VM WMP7, and WHS V1 backups)
Hmmmm,
Gordon.
What broadband ISP you use in greece..??
Still wait for the T-Mobile Version
Unbranded to Euro O2UK, no update as of yet! Waiting game begins once again.

I'am interested in comments too. I'm using version 8 and happy with that version until now.
I've bought the european premium version yesterday for my HD2 and Galaxy Tab.
As far as I can say already, it is working absolutly brilliant on my HD2, but on GT I have some graphical issues, mostly caused by the 7" resolution.
I haven't had much chance to test the navigation itself but as far I haven't seen any issue beside some missing german translations with HD2 and CoPilot Live 9.
Upgraded from v8 to v9 Premium and glad that I did
When CoPilot v9 was first released, I refused to buy. Because there was no way to transfer my ActiveTraffic subscription and the reviews on Android Market were looking pretty dismal. But ALK came up with an easy way to transfer ActiveTraffic subscription within v9. And I did see some favorable reviews over time, although it seemed most reviewers did not like it.
So I took the leap and purchased CoPilot Live USA Premium (v9 premium). I've used CoPilot Live v8 on WM on my HD2, moved over to CoPilot Live v8 on Android when I switched to running Android late last year. Now that I have v9 Premium myself. I am glad I didn't listen to the nay sayers. The bottom line is this, if you LIKE Copilot v8, you'll likely enjoy v9. And don't get the Standard version unless you want to be limited on features. The Premium version is an upgrade. But if you go from v8 to v9 Standard, you're really going to be taking a downgrade. Because the Standard version does not come with features such as 3D Maps and Text to Speech. V9 has everything built in with the only exception being that you have to transfer or buy an ActiveTraffic subscription, and it also does not come with gas prices. (Gas prices cost an extra $4.99 if you want that. ActiveTraffic cost $9.99 if you don't already have it.) I'm a no ethanol guy, so most places I get gas from don't spend to report gas prices digitally anyway, so I don't need gas prices. And you who have v8 already know the gas price reporting stopped working in v8 long ago.
Upgrading to v9 Premium, I've got all the features I had in v8 and way more. There's now Bing local information you can pull up for an area you're in. It's literally the "Local" features of the Bing app built into CoPilot. It also has Wikipedia information for local attractions. It has a feature to find your parked car. It has a means BUILT IN to the app to report map errors. So now they've made it super easy to report any map errors and get them updated. You point out the error directly on their map and tell them what the error is, hit send and they promise to fix it .
CoPilot never had the world's most up to date maps, you're not going to get anything different in regards to maps from v9. But I do feel the built in means to report map errors will help v9 to get way better than v8 ever was with maps. I've already reported issues in the maps that I've known were in my area. Some issues I never reported before, because it was never this easy to report them before.
You can't import your Favorites or anything from v8 into v9. So with the move to v9 you do have to setup your favorites and such again.
There's a lot more in v9 that I'm not going to type all out here. But I'll be happy to answer questions. I'd recommend if you have v8 that you make the move to v9 while it's still just $9.99.
Using at the moment. Works great
New In Tunnel Mode.
Found out yesterday when I entered a tunnel, that v9 has an "In Tunnel" mode. So you don't get errors about GPS connection being dropped. It tries to estimate your time through the tunnel and continues the moving graphic as if it knows where you are at .
Can any one upload it ?

No. It's not freeware and was not developed by an XDA Developer. So you have to buy it.
Changing to a new device can be a pain with CoPilot
I just upgraded from an HD2 running a NexusHD2 ROM to an HTC Sensation 4G (T-Mobile USA).
I got temp root on the Sensation and restored CoPilot from Titanium Backup. I had already copied the entire copilot app folder from the old SD card, to the SD card in the new device. When I started CoPilot, it was not registered. (That alone was a surprise, since usually on my HD2 no matter the ROM I could restore from Titanium Backup and CoPilot would work.) I tried to register with my CoPilot account and got a message saying that the registration was already with another device and had to be deactivated there before I could activate on the new device. (So I feel they must be storing a unique device ID when you register. And it seems that must be checked in the app every time it's started up.) Given the issues on my old HD2 (Nexus) deactivating was not an option.
I had to contact CoPilot support, tell them my Nexus One is dead and I need my account and license keys freed up so I can use them on the new device (Sensation). They asked for my license keys, which I gave them. They then told me things were freed up and should work, but still nothing would register. Contacted them again, they said they freed things up (again) and to try again. I was able to activate CoPilot, but my Live Traffic subscription would not transfer over. Had to contact them yet again, they freed up the Live Traffic subscription and I was able to transfer that over to the Sensation.
So it took some back and forth, but I finally got everything working. Keep in mind, this thing is a pain when you have to change devices. They really need to improve the method that has to be used when changing devices. But at least their support staff didn't give me a hard time once I explained the situation.
Also it is completely stand-alone... Not using the phone service. I switched too. Love it
Works fine! Have it on my HTC FLyer en HTC HD2 with rom NexusHD2 gingerbread v2.8.
You should be careful though. I bought it when it just came out, and it worked fine for a bit, but after the latest update to 9.1.0.119 it doesn't work anymore, and customer support is non existant. Try and take a look here:
http://getsatisfaction.com/copilotlive/topics
It's their official community driven forum. Just take a look at some of the problems that people are having. Both software based and with the support.
I've always received good support when I open a support ticket with them via their dedicated support ticket page.

I opened a ticket 10 days ago, and got an answer yesterday, and that was just some standard installation procedure mail they sent me. They didn't even bother to read my issues and respond to them.
5 days ago I opened another ticket, demanding a full refund, as the product doesn't work on my phone (which is on their compatibility list btw). They haven't reacted to that as of yet.
And they promise answer within 48 hours.
Understand my frustration now?

Yes, they must hate you .
I submit a ticket and get a respose usually in under 24 hours. And they charge way more for your version of their app than the US version. You'd think I'd be the one waiting...
"transfer" Licence between Devices / ROMs
Attention to all ROM "changers, testers, updaters ...":
in CoPilot Live Premium (v 9) there is no possibility to de-activate the licence to "transfer" the licence to another Device (ROM). You have to contact CoPilot CustomerCare to de-acticate your licence and re-activate it on another Device (ROM).
I use dungphp's Pyramid HTC WWE 1.35.401.1 - Real 3D [V2.3][RAF 1.9GB] and had this Problem while upgrading from 2.2 to 2.3. Normally, I chnage the setup-script so it will not delete my personal stuff and settings - but this time I deleted everything to do a clean update. CoPilot won't activate after this again!
So I contacted CoPilot CustomerCare about this. I get an answer within 12 Hours, that they have de-activated my licence in i can activate it again. I asked them where I can de-activate my licence before i change the ROM - the answer was, that there is no possibility to de-activate the licence within the software - you have to de-activate your licence over CoPilot CustomerCare.

Use Titanium Backup. You can backup before flashing a different ROM and when you restore to the new ROM you'll have everything working just fine and activated.
On behalf of RyBo Muckin Entertainment i would like to present version 3.60. The new update looks and operates nothing like its initial version, tons of new features and interface. After 4 submissions fails in a row i have decided to put it up for beta testing, in hope that you guys can find the problem. Microsoft error report says the application fails to launch but it works perfectly on my htc hd7 and both wp7 emulators. If you try the application (you get paid version for free) please reply with the status( if it worked on your device).
Toronto Transit is a navigation applications designed to make ones every day travels more efficient. You will find GPS, Maps, Bus locator, Taxi phonebook, and Much,Much More!!
HP is shutting down WebOS on January 15,I have 2 Touchpads,one is unopened sitting in a draw for 2 years.Should I do anything special before the shutdown?
I only use it as a web browser on wifi when on the road at work,and from day 1,it has been barely adequate,and from day one it has not been functional on many websites,and seems to be more incompatible with other sites as time goes on.Is there any reason to keep WebOS,or should I just convert it to Android...and is there any rush for me to do anything,like any downloads or apps before the 15th?
I don't have any Palm devices,so I have no feelings for the OS at all.All my phones have been Android,don't play around with them much,but root them all.
I didn't have any actual information on the implications of it shutting down but it also piqued my interest so i had a quick search. See the following link ( i can't link yet but it's a https address.
developer.palm.com/content/resources/develop/faq.html
It seems most of the useful services will be shut down at the same time (including the app catalog and alarmingly, but not surprisingly, any password recovery). So basically, after the 15th you'll be a bit stuck.
As for whether you should get rid and use android, i think you answered your own question. You only have 1 function and it doesn't perform that to your satisfaction. I would suggest switching to Android, at least you can dual boot and give it a go. I currently use Lolipop on mine. Whilst not as smooth or aesthetically 'nice' as webos, i find it far more functional.
Hope this helps
Well,HP announced at the last second that they were extending the services until March 15.
And hahaha,yes I guess I kind of answered my own question about keeping WebOS versus moving it to Android. and yes,my dissatisfaction of the WebOS browser started the day I turned it on about 2 years ago,and found it would not render the National Weather Service website correctly...apparently not compatible with how most government websites are written.Being in the construction industry,I am hitting up that website a few times a day,to plan out the day,and that site is by far the most useful and accurate.
I guess my next question is...How will this touchpad run on Android,and what limitations or glitches can I anticipate with it as a web browser? I just want to be sure I can install and chase down any problems with my simple and rudimentary skillset.
I can only speak from my own experience, although if you look through this forum sub-section + the ones for a particular ROM you are considering (in the development) it would give you a good idea.
I have used various ROMS (mostly derivatives of Cyanogenmod). It started out a bit shakey, which is understandable, on version 7 but now it is up to 12 and i don't really find i have any day to day issues. The ageing hardware does struggle a bit if you have a load of widgets on the home screens and background apps running but from the sounds of what you want i don't expect an issue. There are also a lot of various different android weather apps that should suit your needs without even having to visit a website.
The installation/removal is fairly straightforward now with step by step guides on doing it. Look at the threads about TPtoolbox. This is a very straightforward tool.
Also if you try it before March you can always revert if you want to.
Live long and prosper WebOs

Hi,
can any of you recommend the Rom to be fully functional and without any major bugs? Which of the basic normal functions must work and most do not work:
- enabling / disabling locations from the drop-down upper bar
- the ability to remove the search bar from the bottom of the background of the main screen and the date and time from its upper part (unnecessarily blocks the space, from this are the widgets)
- adaptation to fast charging, with a minimum current of 2000 mAh
- small date and watch with seconds on the upper beam
- list of connections as in older versions of android with a specific date and time, not in the type "3 days ago"
- dark background in the call list and sms messages
- software flashlight
- 8 shortcuts in one line (upper pull-down bar)
- main screen number of columns 8, number of lines 9
- working encryption
- average memory consumption max 1.5 GB
- security update status> March 2020
- advanced restart
- gallery with menu offering after the first click, e.g. image rotation, etc.
- installation file without Gapps and max 600 MB!
- rom created min 1-2 months ago, constantly updated

SuperiorOS-Phoenix-santoni-OFFICIAL-20200331-0941 (my favorite, No. 4)
can offer the above combined functionalities without the need to install additional software.
Worst of all, the developers do not respond to comments and submissions.
Some of them are almost perfect, but the grid density, hotspot, or the right number of columns settings are missing.
I was thinking about LineogeOs .. but this is a very limited rom in terms of personalization and settings. Practically like MIUI.
Table from a comparison of Roms:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tCVfL3i3j6H9mWrmzM_q-erkzYRjm2PRzNjwmNyNTPE/edit?usp=sharing
How about you build your own ROM ? No offence. I've been thinking the same I too need the exact features you ask for. But I do not have any coding knowledge to build a rom. Tho I'm willing to learn but I don't find anything that would teach me lol. (searching YouTube too build a rom would be futile since some videos are either old that it's not the current format and or if it is the current format they talk as if we already have knowledge of what they're talking about). But otherwise lineage with nothing in it would make good empty cup to fill tea or coffee of your wish to fill in. But I know it's p.i.a to have additional softwares like magisk or apps, thus comes ROMs of other better developers but with one noticeable flaw that the ROMs are not customised to your liking. So the only option left for you is to build your own ROM. I guess lineage allows you to customise and share your ROM however you like it.
Lineage hasn't been updated in 7 days(usually within 5 days you'd have gotten an update) .. I think the official version is gonna jump from 16.0 to 17.1. if it did I hope the features you asked for would be there. Obviously except the gapps one.
Thanks for the message .. what are you not angry
I also thought to build my ROM, I have energy for it, but no time at the moment. I did not check how to build instructions ... if you do not need to be able to program it sure and it would do the trick.
In addition, Remi 4x is a bit old equipment, but still without a successor in these dimensions and with such a battery. So he'll probably live some more. I do not know to what extent the knowledge and rom prepared for a given phone can be used to transfer everything to a possible new phone model.
In my opinion, LineageOs is unnecessarily updated every day ... it's a waste of time - because no one updates the phone so often! Unless there are some patches from your phone by checking for updates (partial additions, like in Windows) that I don't know about?
Downloading 600 MB of data each time is also an unnecessary load on connections.
In fact LoS 17.1 may be showing up at any moment, but I am convinced that not much will change. Do not understand and understand that the community and developers completely ignore bug reports! I also do not understand the logs, since the applications are based on freshly installed software and ordinary uncomplicated, perfectly visible faults.
A lot of new ROMs are being created, but if I don't see earlier versions and the creator is little known then I will certainly not install such software. Unfortunately, I value privacy.
All in all, I prefer a ROM with minimal additions, embellishments, etc. but with lots of settings. The Rom remix was such, but from June 2019 it is not updated.
In addition, I see a lot of duplicate settings not needed from several places on the system. Elementary deficiencies in the ergonomics of use. I have the impression that Android was built for the first time and in addition they were students ... and yet it already has several editions. How much time has passed and how much discussion was about dual-sim, and yet it was a standard that was obvious.
Developers are developers, but certainly Google itself is extremely mixed in all this. Probably, if not for the huge number of devices and even more subcontractors, something could be created that would be fully open to the benefit of all users, such as Firefox, Openstreetmaps or Linux Manjaro.
Probably I will return into Los:
