Will we get official mango update for htc hd 7?
I'm asking because it's ready and has been shipped to carriers for testing.
But news mention just nokia, and fujitsi.
So what about htc hd 7?
Of course we will. Not like Android, which chooses which phones will be updated. Official will be for all Windows phones!
Since its been shipped to carriers for testing have they given an actual date as opposed to the fall season.
The current version is beta, not for resale as it says on the windows screen when the phone starts. Certain things don't work and are not enabled including API's. Official version will be very soon, possibility as it looks is September, but no official word from Microsoft. Running mango myself, it is ready for release, few small glitches here and there lime html5 implementation API not working yet but is there. All the rest is fine. Volume now is loud and speakerphone is useful once again, as well as the volume steps are changed from 10 to 20 now. All the new hubs and custom hubs as email work great. Search, new look and feel market, people, photos, social integration, Facebook chat not yet. It is there but only redirects to Facebook. WiFi,3g, bt all work much better. Visual voice mail not available in this beta build. For anyone installing the test beta, please note that this. version will not upgrade to the official mango. One will have to revert to no-do first. All settings will be lost.
Microsoft has taken the Apple approach here, so almost all windows phones will get the MANGO update.
AS mentioned above its looking to come around september/October, unless you have a carrier branded phone which might push it a couple of months more, as Microsoft lets them test it for their networks.
It rumoured RTM is almost ready to be shipped so hopefully we on target.
Tried the mango beta and looks really promising.
Has anyone heard about WiFi calling?

Visual Voicemail works for me... And I do notice the volume is loader (thank god) but I don't see me being able to go to 20 instead of 10.....
Anybody verify this? Volume was always a big issue, especially plugging in to external speakers and such through the audio jack.

When you say the volume is louder do you mean when a headset or headphones are in? Also are they iphone/ipod loud?
What version of the beta are you running 2 or 1?

Microsoft wants a full blown complete update in one shot. Whether carrier branded or not as of RTM the carriers also have their time to test it so given that mid to late October is about three months from now I do believe everyone will be receiving the update regardless of carrier branding.
Even if Hd7 gets official Mango update, it will be a while before the users start seeing it. I would assume the new devices will get more attention for carriers.
If no new phones come out then its probably safe to say yes. If new phones with the mango update come out then its probably a no.
Any one know the Lumia Black update timeline for Lumia devices in NA?

Other than the 1020, all other Lumia's are waiting on the carriers to fuc$ around for the next 6 months. I hate US carriers.
keep an eye on ncs. I'm sure we'll see them creep up on there before being released ota.
Yep, or you could try the Nokia Software Updater for Store. Its a lot simpler to use and it will actually tell you and download the newest firmware when available, but most of the people reading this already know that....
Waiting for the Black Update on meh 928.

Look here
http://www.nokia.com/global/support/software-update/wp8-software-update/
I have a Lumia 720 as business phone and I hope that next update will bring the possibility to select attachment with the mail client. I don't care all the other new features I read on latest news.....
Currently I can only select pictures as attachment on mail which sound strange for me it this is considered a business phone.
I guess we should wait for users getting the update to confirm that this feature will be included now.
Just because your company calls it a business phone doesn't mean Microsoft considers it one. From the beginning, MS unapologetically marketed Windows Phone as a consumer phone. They focused on personalization, user-friendliness, and social features but neglected business features like VPN support, encrypted email, mobile device management (WP7 didn't even support encrypted storage at all), and attachment support (although you can attach Office documents from within the Office hub).
Updates and new releases have slowly improved this area, and future versions will improve on it further (S/MIME encrypted mail and mobile device management are both said to be coming this year, along hopefully with VPN and better WiFi security options) but to call WP a business OS at this point in time is silly. It's a personal, consumer OS that has support for some business features, much like iOS was a few years after its initial release.
Define the problem, not the solution...
You can of course attach other files to email via WP8 (and 7.5 for that matter). If you're trying to work with PDF/DOC/XLS/other office files, you need to go to office, bring up the context menu on the file that you wish to send and click Share... This will allow you to send the file.
If you wish to share files via SkyDrive - this only sends a link or uses the Share functionality from SkyDrive.com.
I guess if you think about it logically, you define the problem - sharing a file; not the solution - adding an attachment to an email.

Thanks for the hint. I mean that if you like to reply to a discussion and attach a document, perhaps saved from another mail, for my understanding this is not possible currently. Starting a new mail and attach a document or share from office is fine but in a regular use is not a typical use when you should follow up an open discussion with an existing distribution list instead of opening a new one from zero.
hi guys looking for android os thats runs on raspberry pi please..
None, that are usable
Why do you want to install Android on the Raspberry Pi ? There are a lot of applications that works well on the Raspberry Pi.
However in this section there are some interesting threads like this one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/hardware-hacking/raspberry-pi/rd-android-4-4-4-t2816952
It would be great if we can install Android on Raspberry Pi

Well with ARM 7 they might be a chance for Android with RPI 2

Personally I'm more interested in the upcoming Android Auto. Android is nice because it can be easily adapted as a Car PC and there are already great navigation apps, and other apps which are all designed for the touch screen interface.
I could do linux with XBMC, which I may just do, but the Android system just seems more of a fit.

That is exactly what I am looking to do for my car. It already have the Microsoft Sync system in it, but I think Android auto would work better for the most part. I am thinking about installing it in a way where I could have both systems and have the output from Android auto run through the speakers, and also adding a bluetooth OBD2 adapter to monitor the cars internal systems. Sync does a poor job at that. If everything is running smoothly it only says that, without going into any detail.
Get the new Pi 2 model B. Microsoft is going to be releasing a port of Windows 10 for it... Hopefully have some apps to take advantage of Microsoft Sync

Already ordered mine. Hopefully the 2 systems will tie together but I heard Ford is going with Blackberry for its new Sync systems and dropping Microsoft. http://microsoft-news.com/ford-substitutes-microsoft-for-blackberry-for-the-new-sync/
Hi,
I would like to use the Android Mini as a terminal for our school library. However, kids using the terminal may just install software from the Play store or from other sources (just share it from their own devices will already work). They can also play loads of games on the mini.
How can I restrict this? I tried using app blockers downloaded from the play store but I think because of the Mini's multitasking capabilities, it is possible to easily disable the app blockers simply by pressing ESC. Can I do this without rooting (I am not experienced in rooting and prefer if the solution did not need to open up my mini)
Thanks a lot

heh no the mini in the current state is not good for education (root need soldering),you should try cloud ready the Chrome os distribution for pc,they are fond of chromebooks in education I think

Thank you Taillol for your suggestion of using Chromebooks. Chromebooks are currently not in my mind as one of the viable solutions though. I heard that most applications of Chrome are dependent on the internet. What I like with Android is that it has enough applications which can load locally like office apps and paint programs. So in this case, I can free up bandwidth if the user decides to use any app found in its memory.
Android also has applications which are very similar or almost identical to their windows and Linux and Mac desktop counterparts. For instance, I plan to use the android version of textmaker HD for the android boxes while using either the linux or windows versions for the offices using PC (or even use the remix x86). In this way, the applications will look the same in whatever machine they will use. Although google office is also available in all these platforms including chrome, I dont want to get a subscription for business.

Thank you so much Wastemeter2014. I was hoping to come up with some sort of solution soon as I was planning to buy the Remix mini units already this week. Ill have to wait for your reply.
Sorry for the delay, Tailslol is a member of the same Ambassador team. I have forwarded your request to the engineering team. I have a few ideas I will try today but the current OS has limited options in which to lock it down to the extent you are looking for. That being said, please allow me a little further time to consult further I havn't forgotten you.

Yes i am an ambassador too.
And we are looking for a solution internally.
Current version of the mini lack of tools for this kind of use.
I was suggesting Chromebooks mostly because they have Google adminstrative tools and recent ones have access to Android play store.

I would agree that chrome would be better suited at this point. The parental tools on Google Play I looked at today still would not lock it down the way you would like. The software engineers have your request.
First, I really appreciate the interest you've shown. I've been talking to the developers and here's the latest.
To fulfill the needs of your scenario, there is development work that we need to do. To that end, there is good news and bad news.
The bad news is, we haven't had the resources and time to develop it yet, so the Mini or any Remix OS product right now can't claim to support Mobile Device Management or any type of kiosk mode fully.
However, the good news is that two weeks ago, we started the ball rolling on this development. The timing is unclear, but we are aiming for the end of Q1 or early Q2 2017 with the releases for Remix IO and Remix IO+. This development should also provide Minis with administrative rights and management ability.
I'd hope that you do stay in touch and when we have it done, we'll update you then.
Thanks!

Thanks so much.
I downloaded the x86 version of the Remix and installed it on a PC. I noticed that the PC version gave options on bootup. One of them was a "guest mode". From the description it says that "Guest Mode" cannot save anything. Does this include the inability to install apps? The Guest Mode sounds like it can work, but I wasn't able to explore the PC version so extensively.
If so, maybe we can have a "guest mode" for the Remix mini too then simply password protect the "Resident mode" so students wont simply reboot and choose "Resident Mode" on reboot. If the guest mode already exists for the x86 version, then I suppose the code for this type of admin control is already available. Thanks.

you can install app but not large ones due to the limitation of ram and usb drive size and none will stay when the computer reboot. account information will not stay too.
Hi Community,
does anyone have a idea how to access my notes taken with the notes app on my PC? I have setup syncing with my Samsung account but cannot find a web application. The Win10 notes app in the MS store is not compatible with my Dell. Ideas?
Thanks much
You can in a limited way, by sharing them as PDF.
I installed s-note and enabled sharing with evernote. That way I can use my webbased or pc based evernote app to access my apps on all my computers. I went back and forth with other apps and found this to be the easiest way. I also have a surface book with which I take notes and tried onenote for a while, but came back to evernote.
Google Keep would probably be the easiest solution. DL notebuddy and set it to auto-launch keep instead of stock app. I've been very satisfied with this setup.

I find onenote to be very good for syncing between different devices (i have a laptop, an android tablet and the note 8, not to mention guest login to various other devices), it seamlessly syncs so no need to be messing around with exporting and importing data, it's free and the PC version can OCR your scribbles too. Its free (even the desktop version which is miles better than the metro version), only downside is you need a live account.

I use OneNote for now but really like the Samsung Note app in terms of features. I often run I to situations where I accidentally touch the screen with my palm and OneNote is very sensitive to that. I end up in looking where I was noting things down. It's a distraction since I take a lot of notes during meetings. Samsung notes also let's me easily rearrange parts of my notes. I always keep action items on top so I see what still needs to be done in the notes overview screen.They expand while I add items and my notes move down along with that. It's the little things I guess.

I always find the palm rejection quite good, but you are right the composition and inking ability on the android version is frustrating, i just wished they would bring the android version closer in line with the desktop version (which does want your asking plus more), ultimately i end up cleaning up my notes on the PC version.
My workaround for the time being to use SideSync and access my Samsung notes via PC and a USB cable. A little cumbersome in setup but I can write directly into Samsung Notes. I just wish there would be clipboard sharing between my PC and the SideSync app.

HI, I am a fan of google keep, however, it has become so unstable that it crashes on all my devices in the middle of my work, only on my tablet works better, it too crashes but less frequently. I have tried all forums, could not find the answer except for rolling back, then I have stop autoupdate for all apps :crying:

I have the same problem. It says Samsung notes for Win 10 and available on PC (among others). My build is much later than the minimum required - I have green ticks against all the requirements. Then it says "Not compatible with my device"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope someone who built the thing sees this and puts it right!

I think it might just be meant for samsung laptops ???
Edit : I just tried on my old acer and voila it installs... Holy sh*t
Edit: Oops got it wrong.. It was S note and not samsung notes... Samsung notes need Arm architecture... Most of the pc's are intel based.
Samsung Notes does not need ARM, as it works perfectly on my Notebook 9 Pro, which has Intel processor...

I was looking at the requirement for the app in Microsoft store and for Samsung Notes it says ARM only...
S Note on the other hand needs x86 or x64
Are sure it is Samsung note and not s note?
Edit : it may be that it is a Samsung laptop... So I guess they can bypass the requirement
