anyone in the U.S. been updated to 7.8 on ATT yet without "trick?"

78er is for OS updates. Unless something has changed(doubtful), it does not update firmware.

I finally got the 7.8 update by using seventy eighter

Check your firmware version. It won't match up. That's why I mentioned that 78er is for OS updates only.

I'd rather wait for an official update than use 3rd party tools. I want a phone that works when I need it, not a test system. Although the laggy tiles are pretty annoying.

The 3rd party tools update your phone to the official version.

Minus the updated firmware....which is what I keep repeating. The updated firmware does make a difference in this case.

Precisely. This is a phone. Firmware matters as much as an OS update does.

Just got the 7.10.8862.142 and 144 updates this morning (AT&T), through the official update. That took a while...

did you get a notification, or just plugged it into Zune?

I just received notification (15:30 Central/IL) on my phone and through Zune for my locked AT&T Lumia 900.
Downloading/installing 7.10.8860.142 now!

Edit: 7.10.8862.144 coming down now.

I am also updating an AT&T Lumia 900 right now with no tricks... First update 7.10.8783.12 in progress.

 

[Orlok1138]

updating from 8858 to 8862 now!!

 

[Orlok1138]

anyone with 8862 have a working Bluetooth share now?

 

[joeaux]

Done via Mac WP Connector. Took long enough but looks good so far. Up to "7.10.8862.144" finally. Bluetooth seems to be working on mine Orlok.

 

[Cory Verellen]

So i've got an odd one after the latest update on my 900. The internal mic and speaker don't work during phone calls. If I switch to speakerphone mode, both sides of the conversation are as normal. Anyone received a call yet and noticed this?

 

[Orlok1138]

I must say. My live tiles seem alot clearer now, before sometimes in 8858 they would sometimes get "blurry" but now they look more clear overall. My tiles open faster now too. Not quite as fast as 7.5 but quicker then 8858.

just from Bluetooth in settings or an app?

 

[slotti]

WOW.
So I did the update through Zune, and there is one feature that is unbelievable......I have an unlocked 900 from ATT using it on T-Mobile, and after this firmware update the INTERNET SHARING is working on T-Mobile!!!! Man I am glad I have not given up my unlimited web access (grandfathered plan $10 a months for unlimited un-throttled 4G, well HSDPA+).

Just to be sure, the tiles are much bigger now right? My tiles look huge on my screen
