no
Please lengthen your message to at least 10 characters
i have installed WP Bench app from marketplace, in display test it has a gradient test tool which it is obviously visible that gradients are not smooth !
you can install this tool from here : zune://navigate?phoneAppID=f7f88eb2-d35a-e011-854c-00237de2db9e

i've just had the HTC HD7 firmware update, and it has this issue
I installed NoDo using cheveron updater, then got the HTC firmware update seperatly so it must be a HTC issue

I received the update yesterday (HD7-tmobile US) and am not experiencing the symptoms you guys are describing.
I installed the WP Bench app to see (by the way that app is just a waste of time since all it's doing is running tasks but it is not giving you any meaning about the results or comparison with other models or even your own model so you know where it stands). The Display tab produces smooth gradients both in color and in the White to Black.
UM
I've heard there might be a fix for it soon, if its not already been issued, so i guess it just depends.
TBH i havnt noticed it much in apps yet, but i can always restore to the older firmware if it proves to be a issue
yeah mozart has the same problem
we got pictures there
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=924486
must be the new bootloader/firmware
I didn't have chance to test the gradient before updating, I so compared this to my other devices.
I want to say, even on my laptop, the picture is not completely smooth
But on my Dell Streak, it's even stranger... I mean when I open the picture from gmail, it's really really smooth. and when I save the picture to gallery and open it, it's same as HD7 did...
Yes...the gradients look ugly now...i too noticed this and am gonna have a word with the tech support soon through Twitter...is there a way we can reverse the no-do update??

There is no method to reverse an update aside from restoring from a backup, or flashing an older version ROM to your phone.

You can always download a pre-nodo rom (version 7004 or 7008) from the hd7 rom development subforum, put your phone in bootloader and flash that.
Same here with an HTC Trophy. The bug seems to be HTC related, as I've tested this versions on my trophy:
FW 2250.09.10908 + SO 7004 = Good
FW 2250.09.10908 + SO 7008 = Good

I hope we get a fix from Microsoft/HTC soon!
Got this reply from HTC Singapore, an hour after i emailed them with my complaint. Bottomline, they are aware of it and co-working with Microsoft to resolve the issue. Their recommendation to hard reset my phone is not necessarily a solution i will do for now! Here's their actual reply:
"Thank you for contacting HTC.
With reference to your query, we are coworking with microsoft with this now, and hope they could figure it out soon. And may be you can try a hard reset on the phone to see whether the problems can be fixed.
After a hard reset, the device is restored to its default settings-the way it was when you first purchased it and turned it on. Any programs you installed, data you entered, and settings you customized on your device will be lost.
Warning! Your device will be set back to factory default settings. Make sure that any additionally installed programs and/or user data have been backed up before you perform a hard reset.
To perform Factory Data Reset:
HD 7
1 With the phone turned off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and DOWN buttons, and then briefly press the POWER button.
2 Wait for the screen to show the instructions on how to do the factory reset, and then release the VOLUME UP and DOWN buttons.
3 Follow the instructions onscreen to factory reset your phone.
If hard reset won’t do any help, you just contact us and we will tell you how to send you phone for repair and arrange repair service for you.
Thank you for your continuous support of our products and services. Should you require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us again.
We look forward to be of service to you again.

HD7 Works
I can confirm that as long as you unlock a pre-nodo version (7004 etc) and ensure that it stays unlocked you can successfully install the Mango Beta. You need to find the files for yourself though or sign up to be an developer and you will get the links.
Google is your friend.

I've installed it and it sucks. All the sideloaded apllications doesn't work anymore. I can get no connection with messenger, email accounts .... Marketplace gives continuously errors.
I don't see any advantage in the mango beta. Rolling back ... I hope a next version will be better.

MOST side loaded apps don't work because Mango does support INTEROP_Services or what ever it's called. That means the file browsers/registry editors/other apps using native code. As for messenger, some have said they got it working,but you must remember, it's a BETA for a reason. My Email works just fine & so does the Market. The install process for apps seems better now. You can now query apps for install instead of having to wait for one to finish & the search is awesome. I had to reset my HD7 because of the failed connection error & had everything re-installed in like 30 mins. Something I must have changed in the reg or some app(s) must have been causing the failed connection.
Works great for me. The only thing that doesn't work is the messaging feature with windows messenger. Didn't try Facebook and twitter, however. All in all its still pretty stable for beta use.

Thanks for the info. I think I will reset my phone this weekend and give it another try and after installing the beta I will reinstall the apps. Did you experience any freezing? It seems to me that sometimes it hangs a while for example when scroling the tiles.

Nope, it's been running smooth for me.
Few apps didnt work like the registry ones but like someone already said, its because mango does not allow apps to be sideloaded that access outside the allowed API's.
Other sideloaded apps worked fine though I think mango is great even in its beta stage.
Has anyone been able to keep the phone chevron unlocked when upgrading to mango. Tried the bat files from windowsphonehacker but my phone was locked after the update.
Do the other files keep the phone unlocked after update. Ive been trying to google them for the past couple of hours and I cant find them. Obviously Im not googling the right words.
Anyways should I continue looking or is it all for not if the phone relocks itself anyway. I have an idea if both relocks the phone but I dont want to waste my time looking for the files. Since to unlock I gotta go all the way back to pre-nodo.... Already did it twice...lol
Just instaled mango in my hd7 work great! No problems here for now

Mango installed on my HD7. Install was simple. Still no flash, cant watch videos anywhere other than yutube. Multitasking is there, works flawless. No errors, this beta is running smooth.
My HD7 is not unlocked by the way.
You can unlock mango if you follow my link in the post above yours.

please help myu HD7 cant update as the update tool says its locked
When you install the beta, do you lose your files, texts, music,... or is it like any other update?
i updated my phone to mango and all seems great no issues what so ever live messenger works fine you can even make your own ringtones. I dont have my device unlocked and i didnt loose any info durring the upgrade
I have this update for like 5 days.
Overall experience is good.
OS is running smooth, but apps aren't - Facebook, foursquare.
I've found a dozen of bugs for the moment ( I'm a QA engineer for a software company ) but the most annoying is the one that keep rebooting the phone after 2-5 minutes of browsing the net, with an application or browser.
That's deff a big issue that will force me too downgrade. Hope for a new build soon as the mango update is pretty slick
Running good for a day now, no issues so far
Just got an update push from Android Market. Words with Friends Tablet edition available for download and install. The new updated version locks the player in landscape mode, with games to the left, current selected board middle, and chat to the right.
I find this is way better ... everything on 1 screen. Also seems faster (but still some sync issues with people ... one friend says it's my turn but on my screen it says it's his turn?)

Just get info about system update to version 2.30.405.1
my current version is 2.21.405.7 (android version 2.3.3)
Any one knows what is this update for?
Will I lose root if I update?

Yes you will lose root if you take the OTA. The biggest change that was made between 2.12.405.7 and 2.30.405.1 is that they have fixed all of the temp root exploits. So not only will you lose root, but you will not be able to re-root until a new root exploit is found.
Thank you for quick response.
OMG! It is good I haven't updated!
Looks good to me. Picasa albums add in working. Screen text a better size. Don't know what full list of changes is?

It's already been done. If you're looking for a ROM in future, the Android Development section of the forum is your friend.

Scrub that, Picasa add in stops working. As useless as it ever was.
Pretty fed up with HTC, they are nowhere near the Company they used to be. Flaky software, useless support, the farce of HTCSENSE.
Horrible.
After reading a few threads about this update, all I ever see is people querying and *****ing about losing their S-OFF. Is there an actual change list available so I see what exactly has been done?

I haven't seen anything. Have you checked the HTC Support site? That is where such information would originate from if it is available.
Surely you cant update if your S-OFF anyway...atleast I cant!
text prediction(suggestion) in portrait mode not working
Hi guys, I have successfully updated to this version.
However the most frustrated thing is when I am typing text in portrait mode, no matter what app (web browser, calendar, message, map, or 3rd party app, etc) I am typing in, the word prediction (suggestion) does not work anymore (or it does, but I could not see all the possible suggestions as I used to if I misspell something, then it just automatically picked one suggestion to replace my word)!! Only when I change to landscape mode they start to appear.
This never happened before this update, and also, before, when I typed on the text box, the keyboard would appear as well as the cursor positioning where my text will display. So I could still see part of the original screen of the app. But now, the text box basically expands a lot so I could not see anything else on my screen apart from the white, ugly, big text box which takes more than half of my screen and the keyboard, nothing else!!
I am wondering if anyone else who updated to this version has the same issue. This is bad, bad, and bad!!
Cheers!!

Ok, I just rebooted the phone twice and everything goes back to normal. I am sure I had rebooted the phone more than once before, but they did not work until just 5 mins ago...
Pls ignore my previous post then.

Hi all,
I'm on holiday in Greece and yesterday I tried to make a surroundshot with my note 8 but it didn't work!
When I open the camera app and swipe to the right I can select surroundshot, after selecting it the screen become black for 5-10 seconds and then I get the message "Surroundshot has stoped woking" with the option of close app and s3nd feedback. I send the feedback to Samsung.
Phone is up to date (android 8.0.0), updated last week.
Other apps ar all up to date.
Rebooted phone.
The surroundshot worked a few months ago on this same phone.
Maybe the update from last week is the problem?
And to help me out if nobody now's the answer for my problem, is there an alternative app that dos the same?
It would be great to use this kind of app on my holiday to make stunning pictures!
Thanks!
Ruud
Just tested mine and it did the same, I sent error report as well
More people that could test it?
