Tango now available for AT&T and Canada

[jhoff80]

I thought that the garbage (faded) text behind the email compose screen had been fixed, but after closer inspection, it's still there, but not as obvious as it was in the previous version.

At this point, that's my only remaining issue.

8779 BUG disables Internet Sharing Ability on Lumia 900

Hi everyone,

Just to warn you that the latest update *MIGHT* render your internet sharing (tethering) useless. After doing a lot of digging and not getting an answer I called up my provider (Rogers Canada), and they just received notification from Nokia Canada.

The latest firmware 8779 has a bug which when doing an update disables the function of the internet sharing ability. (Maybe an APN issue?)

He only provided two solutions which was submitted down from Nokia Canada.

1. Do a full PHONE RESET (basically re-install all my apps, my contacts, accounts all over again).

2. Using the Zune software to Restore to Previous Version (downgrading back to 8773).


I haven't tried either yet because I really don't want to re-organized all my apps, games, and contacts again. It was a big pain in the butt. Especially if I am not even sure if that is a solution.

If anyone else has encounter this issue with a different solution or has tried any of the above, please share.

AT&T and Nokia begin rolling out Lumia 900 OS update for Tango | wpcentral | Windows Phone News, Forums, and Reviews

BTW: Not according to Nokia support...

Jason

Just want to informed you, the update that you receive on your device is not a Windows Tango update. It is only an update provided on the 7.5 software version.


PETER GOTH

The update was supposed to be Tango


Jason

Oh, for software update like Tango or etc., it is not yet available of Nokia Lumia phones.


Jason

The update that you receive only enhance the feature of the phone.


PETER GOTH

Well the version that is on the phone matches Tango.. 7.10.8779.8


Jason

Oh well, I do understand where you are coming from, but it is not a Tango update.

So after the Tango update, I can't stream music over bluetooth audio to my car anymore. It works fine as a bluetooth headset, reads text messages, etc. just no music.

Anyone else have this happen? Phone pairs fine, connects fine, just says there's no bluetooth audio device connected.

I still can't believe that wifi still disconnects after phone goes to sleep. This is totally unbelievable as other devices have a wifi sleepy policy which we can enable or disable if we choose. C'mon Microsoft! WTF?

I agree. And in my unscientific testing, using iHeartRadio to keep WiFi on (it works, really) all the time, it actually saved battery, keeping my LTE connection in a constant low power state. But of course, WiFi on all the time means you use less data, and the Carriers would not stand for that. Wonder how much market share WP will need before Microsoft can tell Carriers to KMA.

Yesterday I attempted to update my Lumia 900 to Tango. I had previously successfully updated the phone's software and synced it with my Mac using Windows Phone 7 connector. When I connected the phone, It received power; however, neither the Mac nor the Windows phone software was able to recognize the device. I subsequently tried to connect the phone to two other Macs and ran into the same problem. I then proceeded to attempt to connect the phone to a PC using the Zune software. Upon connecting to the PC the same problem occurred. I checked the Device Manager on the PC and the Lumia was not listed. After contacting ATT support, and being transferred to Nokia support I have received no solution and my problem has been brought to the attention of a level three support advisor.

Any suggestions on resolving this situation would be greatly appreciated.

Did you change USB cables?

 

[jmedamana]

Did you change USB cables?

Yes i've tried multiple usb cables. They all provide power to the phone, but do not allow the phone to be detected by the computer.

 

[anon(5339110)]

Did you change USB cables?

Yeah, a crap USB cable foiled my first update efforts...

 

[jimski]

Yes i've tried multiple usb cables. They all provide power to the phone, but do not allow the phone to be detected by the computer.

Have you tried using another USB port. I have had problems with ports before, refusing to recognize a device. As you have tried multiple cables I assume you know there are USB charging only and USB charging/data cables (more wires). Chances are at least one of those cables was a data cable.
