Preparing for the update The update process will take close to one hour so ensure that you proceed with the update when you will not have to use your device.

  1. Zune software is essential to download and install Windows Phone 7.5 update. Install Zune, connect Windows phone to a computer and launch Zune client.
  2. Ensure that the phone has adequate power prior to downloading update.
  3. Ensure enough free memory is available and delete unwanted items such as applications, games or large files.
  4. As a precaution, the application backs up the device’s operating system prior to initializing installation. So ensure that the computer has adequate free space for device OS backup.

  6. Ensure that the phone is displaying accurate time and date information since updates are time sensitive.

  • hanks for the review! I agree with you regarding the limitations of the built-in tools when it comes to time tracking. If you’re finding that OmniFocus is more complex than you need you might give Things a try. Things is my task manager of choice and I find it’s a joy to use. There’s plenty of functionality under the hood (including repeating tasks), and it never seems to get in the way.Nice Post. Thanks for your sharing.IPhone App Development
