Another easier way to get the NoDo update from the guys at XDA



Just did it there and worked first time, LG on Vodafone...still branded

Took me two tries.

I had to unplug my modem almost as soon as i clicked update.

I've been outages on Meteor all day, maybe that's what's happening to you?

evolutionqy7

When I was going into the game section just kept giving me an error :S
Ok now though. Maybe it was meteor then

Where did you order it from evolution?

I ordered a silicone case from China and it still has not arrived.

Your one looks the business!

I got it from www.GelaSkins.com

They do vynil skins for nearly everything.

Think i paid 12$ for the skin + something for delivery from USA. Took two weeks to get here exactly You can get express service if your in a rush though.

Protects the phone from scratches and makes the phone grippy and i dont need the bulky case anymore that adds thickness

I was looking for something like that but on most forums people posted they were mostly offset somewhere. This one is a perfect fit. Its very flexible so have to strech it out at parts but it looks the job though.

You can also make your own skins Was the reason why i ordered it in the first place

Ok scratch that, my Omnia 7 is going quite slow and jumpy since I forced NoDo.. Anyone know if Meteor have officially released it themselves?

Think I'll backup and reset my phone, then wait for the official release.

I got it on my Meteor/Omnia 7 last week without any schenanigans

chrislad

It's not on Meteor yet.

Odaise Gaelach

Should be. The Where's my phone update site lists Meteor as "Delivering update".

chrislad

I tried it about an hour ago and it said it was up to date and I have the pre-NoDo installed.

danger_mouse_tm

It's downloading and installing now folks!

Supermonkey ball is in the marketplace. Monopoly is the deal of the week

HD7 spotted running Android. Might be a relief to some

If this is true that means better news for those who want to stick with with windows.

Because to get Android running you would need to get past the bootloader. If we get access to the bootloader we get access to the whole OS

I just got the update but how do I get back the 5gb of space it wanted to use on my C drive?

Not that it matters stupid O2 sim stopped working today says it's invalid. I was hoping the update would do something to fix it.

Multi Tasking Might be Closer than we think

Excellent stuff! I doubt we'll see it for another 4-5 months but it's good to know proper multitasking is on the way.

I'm just wondering if anyone with a HD7 has experienced problems with their SIM card? The one in my phone seems to be dying a slow death. I have to repeatedly take the SIM card out and restart the phone to get it to be recognised. I'll be heading into the O2 shop on Saturday morning to replace the SIM card but I'm just curious if it could be a problem with the phone instead.

Yes! Sim invalid yesterday, have been without a phone since, O2. Just happened out of the blue it didn't gradually get worse it just stopped working.

Am I the only person who thinks WP7 is starting to sound a bit like windows 95...basically trying to give the illusion that it does things but not really doing them? The long wait for stuff like multi tasking is making me wonder if I'd ever migrate to WP7 when my current phone has had this sort of functionality for well over a year

Just got myself an Omnia 7 today! I had an iPhone for the past month but I'm sending it back for repair. I'll be testing the Omnia 7 for the next 2 weeks until i get the iphone back and i'll see which one i'll be keeping.

Love the screen on the Omnia but the bloody search button is wrecking my head!

Gonna stick with the iPhone, Omnia hasn't impressed me at all.

iPhone seems to be far better all round.

Yes and it took Apple 4 full iterations of its IOS to introduce multi-tasking. No one is forcing you to migrate to WP7. I have moved to WP7 from iPhone and have used the Android and will never move back. Multi-tasking or no multi-tasking its the best phone I have ever used. But again thats just my opinion and everyones opinion is different.

I am more interested in IE9 with built in Flash support.
