Good news! Official Windows phone 7.8 update arrived to all windows phone 7.5 owners. Dont need to wait for carrier notification, update directly from microsoft.

You need to install two minor 7.5 update and finally 7.8 update. The articles detailed with screenshot.

Thats not directly a problem with 7.8 it is a problem how the app was coded. the developer of this particular app has done something wrong... his site has no valid url for a live tile so the OS searches again and again, because it can happen that the live tile is not found in the first attempt but this is the fault of the developer which has not fixed this issue where to find the new live tile picture...

Nothing found for my Arrive from Sprint or Titan II from ATT, both US phones.
That is because the official 7.8 update did not arrive to all WP owners...

Anyone on a US carrier -except for AT&T L900 users have not received the update ............................ yet.

T-Mobile cancelled the update for the 710...and probably for the Radar and HD7...

It is highly probable that AT&T or any other US carrier...will do the same

I had to do the Zune update cheat trick 4 times last night but finally ended up with 7.8 on my HTC Win 7 Pro.. Nice to have the aditional colors and resize of tiles. Wish it had bypassed the carrier and turned on ICS but oh well.

Custom ROMS

Does anyone know if this update works with a phone that currently has custom 7.8 on? I am running the deepshining 7.8ROM and is there much point in getting the official update? Does it fix the delay in opening apps?

Thanks :confused:

at&t Windows Phone 7.8 update being deployed

Nothing here.... HTC Trophy unbranded. I Never buy WP And HTC Again!
Still no update? I have an at&t Lumia 900 and got a message today that an update is available. I think there was some issue with the update earlier this year and they halted the roll out so they could fix something. Once the fix was made I guess they started rolling out the update slowly. I actually called at&t a couple of weeks ago and the guy I spoke with was clueless about Windows Phone 7.8. He kept swearing my phone was up to day. Then he put me on hold and spoke to several other people who were about as clueless. I really don't understand why people work in tech support if they have no interest in the device they are supporting.

Got It, But No Bluetooth Share

I got the update when plugging into Zune. No problems..However, still no availabilty of Nokia Bluetooth Share in the Marketplace. Marketplace still says not available for my device. I hate to say this, being a long time Windows Phone user, but this Bluetooth Share fiasco is a joke. Can no one get their act together any longer? I realize this is a Microsoft/Nokia issue but it is laughable now. Bluetooth Share continues to be hyped on the Nokia site as a benefit of 7.8. Well then, where is it?????????????????????????
