Worked, I'm on Mango. I'll give it a college try tonight and see how many of my issues were fixed.

Edit: Rocket Riot mysteriously appeared on the Marketplace once I upgraded to Mango. Yay! Now I can download it!
 
Accuweather is the most laggy app I have ever seen. But it is the only weather app with nice Live tile features that are available for my region.

fedit: Rocket Riot is nice, Stump. If a bit cumbersome with both fingers on screen.
 
Okay. Need some advice, in the middle of step 7 of updating my device, I just got a update error. I have the transfer image on my phone, and zune just asked me to close the update. Nothings happening. Ooh now I have a usb device warning. WTF. Any help?

Question: I'm going to be at my girlfriend's place overnight. If I try to go to Mango from her laptop, will it cause issues? Should I just wait until I get home?
It should be fine to update while the phone is in guest mode (in Zune). My desktop PC has (apparently) slow USB ports and the WP updates always failed using it so I have done all of my updates using my son's laptop. My Focus shows up as a guest and it won't sync any my pics or videos, but it will run the update fine.

... where the hell is the asterisk in the Windows Phone 7 keyboard? I thought it was the interpunct like dot symbol, but that's not right. How do I write an asterisk? :p

Edit: Bottom left of the second page of symbols, hiding away there. Tee hee.

Numbers key then the arrow to the right key.
 
Well the HTC radar was officially announced for T-Mobile. I'll see what apple has in store on Oct. 4th, if they do nothing for me, I'm definitely going to be trying out WP7.
 
In Canada we have music, vision and voice in Bing so I switched the search to US and I now have Local Scout, which is awesome. Voice to Text working perfectly as well. So gooood!

Edit: Having trouble with texts being sent at the moment.
 
Not Mango related, but I have an interesting issue that recently befell my wife's Focus. The mic stopped working for calls. It's just in calls as I am able to use voice for search and text. I hoped the update would fix it, but no dice.

Any recommended course of action?

****EDIT****

The update did fix it. My phone's audio was wonky when I tested it after the update. SMH
 
On the RTM with the HTC firmware update installed Connected Media (an HTC DNLA app) worked a treat. Now with the final, legit Mango installed "This application is not available for your device" and I can't download it again. Poo shoe :*(
 
hmmmm nothing new here, but nice to see updating from the dev beta has left my device debranded :)

For all you guys that just updated to Mango, is the Marketplace detecting any updates for your apps? Mine doesn't seem to be doing that.

they will, I've been seeing them roll out for a few days now, so patience ;)

I only had one, which is unusual because I thought most of the games had updated for Mango. Is it possible that updates I downloaded previously did the Mango updates but also worked on NoDo?
 
I finally got it working. If anyone else gets error code 801812c1 and needs help I can tell you what I did to overcome it. Either PM me or quote and I will list the steps I took but otherwise I'm going to spend some sweet, sweet alone time with mango ;)
 
I might have to roll back :(
Keep losing my connection(goes in and out) and can't send texts. Might have to wait for the official Rogers roll out. Any other Rogers people in here?

only a handful of games so far have mango updates. things should really start picking up now, although over the last week i've probably had about six or seven things get mango updates.
 
So dissapointed I have to restore my phone and wait for the official roll out, but if I can't send texts and call, whats the point.
 
Mango installed! BUT, I have a big bug. I don't have my live/hotmail email icon. It was actually missing from the start screen. So I tried to add it again, error. I lock the phone, and it shows on the lock screen i have two emails. No icon. Nothing in the 2nd app lists page either. So weird.

wait, it sounds like that isn't the case at all. people are going right from beta and RTM to final aren't they, or are you talking about forcing the update? there really isn't much difference at all between RTM and final.

It sounds like you have two email accounts linked. Try to unlink them.

Btw, the website marketplace allows you to view all your installed applications so you can just click and have them re-install on your device over the air

I thought this too, but they were unlinked. Yet, I saw the hotmail link in my google options, I linked them and it worked, unlinked them, and I still get no email icon. I might have to start over from scratch.
