[trobin7]

Will the Venue Pro be getting the update to the Windows Phone 7.8 release?

Hi trobin7,

Microsoft has officially not provided the release date. It is rumored to be early 2013.

Once Microsoft launches the release date Dell will let everyone know if Windows 7.8 update will be available for venue pro.

Please get back to us for further information.

Will the disable functions such as WIFI tethering and E-compass come back online?

Will the Venue Pro be getting the update to the Windows Phone 7.8 release?  Will you repair compass?

There is WP7.8 for Dell Venue Pro, but you may need to force update it. Unfortunately, there is no eCompass fix and no Tethering.

Although the step is for WP7.5, the step are the same.

Didn't work for me. Several attempts. The instructions aren't terribly clear. Am I supposed to turn cell/wi-fi off on my phone too?

Will somebody from technical support give answers to these questions?

You know how excellent the technical service is. About the force update, google a bit. Two advices:

1. Turn on airplane mode

2. Do not connect your phone to a USB hub. The method work for me.
