Recently updated my Nokia Lumia 900 to the new "7.8" OS and I'm not able to change/resize the live tiles. I've googled and searched and been on other forums hoping for some kind of answer and help. In return I keep finding all the articles and posts about the new update and how the 900 won't get the WP8 update, but the 7.8 instead, and so on.
I was hoping maybe someone here would be able to help me out. I did the update through the Zune software but I still can't resize or change the tiles. Any ideas? Or am I just missing something all together?
Thanks all,
Kamil

7.8 is not out yet, so are not updated to that version and dont have the new start screen. It will come later.
In fact it's rumoured that 7.8 won't be released until after the release of wp8, so you'll be waiting until Xmas I suspect.

Hi guys .
ok so i have delved into the world of wp7 and after being an iphone 4 owner may have expected too much from the phone so am not really impressed with its features so far.
i have just a couple of problems and questions i hope sombody on here can clear up for me.
first the phone was bought from ebay stating it was open to any network which it is i am currently using it on vodafone but when it boots up i get the 02 splash screen.
is there anyway to de brand the phone to remove the 02 splash screen?
also in connection settings if i set it to vodafone payg it does not store it says setting sucessful etc but reverts back to vodafone contract when going back into the settings.
also i have read about some nodo update
as a new user to htc what exactly is nodo and what are the benifits
i am desperate to fall in love with this phone and not be stuck in the world of apple ios
any help much appreciated
p.s a big thankyou to all the forum mods etc and members for this forum its has some great reading and infomation .
NoDo is an update from Microsoft, not exclusive to HTC. Download and install the Zune software on your PC or Mac, and connect your phone. It should tell you there is an update. However, check your phones OS version first. Settings-->About
If you've got 7.0.7390, you have NoDo. Anything less and you do not. You can see what's been added here:

Unfortunately as a Yank I cannot answer your other questions
You're going to have to look in the HTC hd7 development forum and ask there about rebranding
HD7 unlocked
thanks for the replys guys after more and mnore reading i have finally done the unbrand on my phone and have now got rid of the 02 boot screen
I followed the thread started by ansar and its really simple to do so if anyone else is in the same situation as me follow that thread
Also the unbranding has sorted out my problems with selecting vodafone payg settings in connection setup so now its time to sit back and learn the phone inside out
thanks !
gratz to your HD7. nice to see switching people from iOS to WP7.
i hope you enjoy it.
Firstly i would like to day hello to all and thank you for all the great work you guys have been doing. If it wasn't for your site i would be a lost soul.
Now to get to the point. I am getting my HD2 within the next two weeks and would like to know if i upgrade to wp7 and get the activation code, will i be able to do live updates and so on oficially? If this is poster before i do apologize but i could not find the answer.
I'm from Cape Town South Africa. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
With updates do you mean system updates? In this case, no, you have to wait. Now we're all waiting for DFT to release the NoDo version
Thanks allot for the response. Looking forward to it.
I did mean the official updates from ms yes, sorry forgot to put that in there.
No, you and I are at the mercy of "黑暗軍團" (Dark Legion). It is up to him to release updates and you cannot update via zune, because it will download files, reboot your phone a few times, and then fail.
Lovely. Guess ill stick with SPB and the 6.5 till then. Got so many awesome apps on my I900 and don't think its a good idea to lose all that atm. Also would like to start to create a few apps and so on for WP7 but I guess ill need a WP for that.

And how on earth would you be able to get an "official" update from M$? There is no "official" HD2 WP7 software/drivers!?
What you have is a custom rom which has been edited to run on your hardware.
I do understand that and did think that was the case but i figured no harm in asking just to make sure. I don't assume something since we know about assumptions. Thanks for the info.
hello everyone , my question is do u guys think we will ever get an adroid on our hd7s
i have been reading alot of threads out there but none of them answers this question, is there any developers out there whos actually working on it

Yes. The Guys From Xda.cn have posted 2 videos showing it working. the 1st shows an SD card error and no wifi or cellular radio.
The 2nd one however shows all this working.
The DarkForcesTeam have made RSPL's so android can run on the phones (this being all HTC WP7 Phones) so my guess is that they are working on doing something like their MAGDLR for the HD2.
The guys from xda.cn have apparantly stated a June release, so just wait and see, You've just got to be patient with this, its a huge job to port it.
I understand its a huge job and I appreciate it. I was just wondering because I've looking everywhere and I just want to know if am going to get android eventually or not on my hd7. do u have any links for the videos ?
By the way how is that going to be effective who are (claims) that they making android when the developers from wp7 are aboutt to give an update of MANGO?
Does this mean the developer who are making android for htc hd7 have to re-start again because WP7 has a new interface MANGO about to be release soon ?
Just wondeirng either theres going to be any interference with the making of android vs the new MANGO about to come soon. Due to the fact some settings may be different from what WP7 is know to what MANGO will be next and try android on that. Confused.
Mods please lock this thread, original poster, read the Android on hd7 thread you will get all your answers, DavieGee props for your patience on answering the same question that everybody asks, Sandra really? You are going around in circles in three other threads with the same comments, unneeded really one thread is enough one question is enough, do some research.
Yes... Matter of time...

Hi everyone I recently update my HD7 and i found the good news in the settings, finally HTC added the internet sharing, enjoy everyone
Awesome!!!
This is awesome! Plugged in, update was there, WiFi sharing! Thanks for the heads up!
I sure hope Tmobile don't yank this!
That's fantastic !
Still nothing. Plugged my phone and Zune says its up to date :|
still nothing for me too. unbranded singapore version
Seems that not everybody is getting these notifications for the 7740.16 & HTC firmware updates. Has anybody have already received it in Spain?
My current setup
Unbranded HTC HD7 T9292
OS version: 7.10.7720.68
Firmware revision number: 2250.21.40502.401
Hardware revision number: 0002
Radio software version: 5.69.09.29a_22.50.50.21U
Radio hardware version: A.102.0.D4
Bootloader version: 4.05.2250.0(129185)
Chip SOC versión: 2.2.5.0
Last night my mozart got the update of internet sharing but still nothing for my HD7..
Same here, our Mozarts have all got the update, our HD7s have not. All of them have had the HTC Euro unbranded rom installed.
I've had my HD7 since launch day in Oct 2010 and been happy so far but I'm getting fed up waiting for the internet tethering option now (unlocked HD7 using o2 sim).
I know it might be off topic but does the lumia have the tethering option enabled?
btw, I had a conversation with HTC asking them where the upgrade is and got this reply
"Thank you for your email. I understand your disappointment and I'm sorry for not having any more information on the matter, if and when HTC will release this update for unlocked and unbranded devices it will be announced on the HTC Facebook page. I would advise to check there for any upcoming news relating to the specific update you wish your device to be updated to. I hope that this information meets with your requirements, should you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact me again. If this response has resolved your query, and you have no further questions please close this ticket by following the link below. Upon closure of the ticket you will be invited to complete our Customer Satisfaction Survey which should take no more than 1 minute to complete"

Microsoft always does this - come up with something amazing, and somehow manage to screw it up. It's a talent of theirs Why microsoft, why?

Why dont you just update via the official cab thats posted on xda.. Rather than waiting. Look for the official 7740 update cab.
it has nothing to do with 7740, most of us already recieved the latest OS update...
Hi,
same here. Unbranded european HD7 and got the 7740 a few days ago but still no firmware update. I got a ticket opened with the HTC support and they told me that it may take up to 4 months (!) to get all phones updated. I think as soon as they deliver the update to microsoft for distribution to the customers they have no longer influence on when a certain phone gets the update. That's why they told me this rediculous time.
I prepare myself for waiting a bit longer now as MS is still busy delivering the OS update and I believe that they will deal with the manufacturer updates once thats done.
Cheers ... gooselk
Well i have searched for it and i dint find it sorry if such a thread already exists.

Nothing exists for the Lumias as of now. Looking through the top threads under Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking, you'll see that same question asked.
ohh...
Im sorry for posting it again

You're making the assumption that there's devs actively trying to do it... I was the first one to perm-root the Garminfone (Android), simply because nobody else was trying
trust me, there's a lot of people trying. The samsungs are easier because they've got the built-in registry editor.

hacking lumia phones look to be very hard.
sometimes i think about switch to Ativ S but i love my L920
If someone could tell me how i can get in to the system of the lumia windows os i could try messing with it and maybe find something out!
... I don't even know how to respond to that. Have you read *anything* about our work hacking this OS? Assigning reasonable meanings to "get in to the system" and "find something out" (because you were incredibly vague), no we can't tell you that; the whole point is that we don't yet know how to "get in". If you just meant read-only access througg, there's the webserver (limited permissions but runs on a retail device) or the ROM image (which you can mount and browse at will, but it's not "live" in any way).
I asked that coz they have obv got into the device or else there wouldnt have been the inteprop unlock...i just wanted to know how..

go look at the forum that explains how interop unlock was achieved on the ATIV S. If you've read enough to know that a wp8 phone is interop unlocked, you'd know the reasoning why it was possible for the ativ s and not the lumias right now. Just wait until someone releases a thread detailing how to interop unlock the Lumia devices. Until then, you'll have to use your phone as.... A normal retail wp8 phone.

Thanks snickler ur one of the devs right?..
Well does anyone know why sideloaded games dont work but apps do?...i have a dev app and i tried the to sideload games which just startup and automatically shutdown...whereas apps work fine
Lumia 520 Reporting ---|||---
I'm going to go wayyyy out on a limb and guess it's because your dev app is a legitimate development version of an app, whereas your games are not?
Yeah...this sounds like he's wanting advice in terms of piracy. This community isn't for helping you get your cracked apps/games working on your phone. If you want games and apps to work, BUY THEM LEGITIMATELY AND SUPPORT THE DEVELOPERS.
