where is the mango for htc arrive?

[Jetface]

According to this post on the Sprint Forum's we're looking at 1pm CST today for the update going out.

Sprint Community: 9/27 - HTC Arrive Software Update -...

I am a current webOS Sprint Pre user who loves webOS, but with no new hardware, I sometimes think about getting this phone since it has a keyboard. Will this mango update bring tethering possibilities to this phone? I currently have freetether on my pre and use it for tether my touchpad. If this phone can do a similiar freetether I'd be inclined to try it with mango.

No tethering with or without Mango, sorry.

On a related note, as a disenfranchised webOS user, I have to say WP7 is slick. Never tethered with my Pre so it wsn't a deal-breaker and I'm very glad I made the switch.

Tethering works for some. Bit messy though

Enable USB Tethering on the Samsung Omnia 7 and Samsung Focus Windows Phone 7 phones..if you can | MobileTechWorld

 

[scottitude]

Still, unless/until Sprint starts offering the Samsung Omnia 7 and/or Focus, ryancellsprint is out of luck. For now anyway, the HTC Arrive is his only option.

 

[TheWeeBear]

Yes that's true Scottitude.

Updating now. Should be done in a few minutes. (coming from Mango dev beta).

The main thing I will be looking for here is a fix for the texting which won't allow me to type long messages and then auto-break them up.

Edit:

First it updated to the final build of Mango.

Then it ran through a cleanup update.

Now it is running through a Sprint specific update. (fixed texting - I hope so!)

So if you aren't already running mango, I assume you will skip over that middle step.

i just received the update....everything seems the same as RTM but I see no tethering option...

Booyah!!

Updating as I type this....started at 2pm CST.

160 Limit is still there. :-(

Did you have to turn it off and back on to make it receive the update? Mine isn't saying anything and its past 2 PM central here now...

no i just plugged my phone in and Zune notified me with an update to 7403, then another one after that....

Yep. I assume at this point it will never be fixed. Very disappointing.

Here's to hoping Sprint releases a Windows Phone variant of the Galazy SII or some other sleek big screen device in the next month or two.

Hmm....the update finished but I see none of the enhancements. It looks the same....

doing a restore and trying again another day....

 

[jrdatrackstar1223]

the only real enhancement I see is in IE....it used to rotate with a sort of laggy animation.....

other than everything looks the same as RTM. that's why carrier updates get on my nerves....they don't add anything at all but more time between getting an official release...

If multitasking is there, then your phone is up to date. If you are saying no enhancement from the developer release, there shouldn't be anything too obvious.

I meant Mango(7720) didn't even install....the update stopped on 7403 even though it said it was complete....I'll try it again when I get home tonite...

 

[DontHate707]

no visual voice mail or internet sharing -_- everything else is amazing I really doubted sprint at first but I was one of the first to get it here I think. So sprint def gets a pat on the back. Mango is amazing the os feels so much more complete with every detail now. And im using internet explorer 9 as I type and they turned a great browser into a amazing one. And the performance boost and none laggyness ensures why im sticking with wp7 for the long haul speech works great Bing is amazing they truly did a great job it was worth the wait. I hope you all get it as soon as possible.

Oh - well this update actually comes in several parts. If you just leave your phone connected, it should detect the next part of the update.

Soooooo......forgive me if this is a dumb question but if some of you have gotten the Mango update, shouldn't all Arrive owners as well? Maybe I'm confused on how this is all going down. Zune is saying no update for me.
