[Q] Bing Music: I can't see the icon? - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I've updated my device to mango beta.
Now I've version 7661.WP7_5_Trial?
How can it be that I don't have Bing Music?
Also, Instant resuming is not working?
Do I have an older version or something?
I have an Omnia 7.

The new Bing features may not be available in Belgium just yet.
As far as instant resuming, third party apps have to be updated to work with Mango in order for this to take place. Since, no one can publish Mango'd apps to the Marketplace yet, the only way to do this right now is develop an app of your own with the necessary update or download someone else's.

Google Maps Navigation for Windows Mobile

I was just curious as to whether or not anyone was actually trying to make this happen because Google maps is awesome but i use iGO just because of the voiced directions. So is this even possible or is it gonna be limited to android phones?

It's only an update with Buzz(messaging thingy) included...no navigation features like android version as yet
Is there a way the hack the windows mobile google maps for navigation ?
I mean like navstarter or launcher for android.
i don't think so.. Google maps navigation is seen as a separate application, and is handled in that way by android as well.
It makes more sense to wait for Google's official release. I suspect they will want to keep the feature confined to the android market for at least a year before making it available on other platforms.
In a way, we get a better deal for our patience. We will get a more polished version of their software, since most problems would already have been encountered and fixed on android builds.
Google Navigator is updated and supported by pdafun. I personally think it's a bit strange to use 2 separate applications, both based on google's maps, ESPECIALLY considering that google maps already has navigation support.
um, I've got it installed on my phone... It seems to find me, but when I zoom in past the world view, it never updates the maps... it will lock on my GPS. Just double checked, but it's called google navigator...

I can't download
can you please upload to a different server?
Thank you
I always thought the navigation feature in google maps is still in beta? Hence the reason they are restricting it's availablilty until it's out of beta at least.
i am using Bing on my HD2, and it works flawlessly.
at times when i dont even get 3G it works fine on EDGE,
its free and has turn by turn navigation.
Google Navigator by PDAfun is not the application in question. That is a third party app that is not supported by Google and has recently changed the name of its application to Global Navigator at Google's request.
Google Maps Navigation is an extremely powerful application developed by Google and, as stated before, is only available on Android devices.

[Q] How can I retrieve my Google Maps update to version 5.5.0?

Today as soon as I opened my Android Market app in my HTC Desire, it showed me that and update for Google Maps version 5.5.0 is available. And I was able to update it without any problem.
But later I did a factory reset of my phone because the Mobile security in my phone was malfunctioning (not because of new google maps) from last few days due to some unknown reasons.
After reset I was expecting to get the google maps updated automatically, but unfortunately it did not. I am afraid why it is so?
I was eagerly waiting for the update form last so many months, and finally when I got it, I lost it even before I could explore it nicely.
Please tell me I you have any idea how can I retrieve my update to version 5.5.0? Or any suggestions related to the matter.
Thanks a lot.
Dunno, go to the market, find Google Maps and tap on update? What am I missing here?
the thing is that it first has to register that you haven't updated google maps - after downloading it today, they registered on the server that you had already recieved it.
best thing to do is to go to market.google.com and try there to download google maps there; it will check the version and when it sees the old version, will override to update!
Got market enabler from market, fake provider like T-Mobile, install as usual.

[App] Sonos now working

I haven't seen this posted but either the latest Sonos Update (Play 3 Software Update) or firmware update on the Transformer have now allowed Sonos to run. It's still the same app as the phone but it's a lot better than nothing, and not as buggy as Andronos.
Also, 3rd party widget out there now, needs some work but it's a start. Hoping Sonos steps up and develops the Honeycomb Tablet version and some widgets for both soon.

[Q] Marketplace won't update apps for Mango

Hi, I updated to official Mango yesterday, but Marketplace seems not to know about it. I'm still stuck with 7.0 apps, which I wasn't offered to update to their Mango versions. I'm not able to install Mango-only apps such as HTC Connected Media, I'm not getting HTC Attentive Phone update etc...
Is there any solution to force Marketplace to offer me Mango apps? THX
Look for the app in the marketplace, and you can update it there.
I hope marketplace will offer it automatically for all together soon, so i don't have to do it one by one.
Thank you, but that's pretty obious. But it's just a workaround, not a real solution, as I expect that auto-updating via Marketplace won't ever work in the future.
I even tried hr, but Zune did not installed my apps back. So I installed them manually and will wait for any updates - if they come or not.
I have the same issue, no notification for app updates are showing up after installing Mango (forced with the disconnect trick). I don't know if it's because of the forcing the update or just a general issue. But I definitely have apps installed that have a Mango version available.
What is also annoying & strange is that the Marketplace is still in French (I'm from Belgium) where it should have been in Dutch for me since Mango was released.
If anyone knows the cause / solution I would be very grateful.
Thanks !

No one is able to install these updates, just wait.
I didn't see any update notifications until I enabled my data service on my phone. Then literally, seconds after. 9 new updates.
This happened while I was on vacation, had wifi on in many places, but when I got back home at the airport, data on. Found a bunch of updates waiting to be installed.
That's a serious problem.

Get the NEW GOOGLE MAPS here

Just installed it and loving it. Supposedly will only run on 4.2 or higher unless you wait for the official update on play store. I was waiting for this so figured I would share the knowledge.

My HTC One on AT&T has not gotten the Maps update yet. I downloaded the APK from Androidpolice and it's working, but now I read there is a 7.0.1 update where they added the Offline maps selection when viewing the map (as opposed to having to type "Ok Maps" in the first release). However, I cannot find an updated APK for Android 4.1.2 devices... the two APK's I downloaded which were 7.0.1 could not be parsed because I'm not on 4.2. Anyone know where I can find the 7.0.1 APK for Android 4.1.2?
Also, for those of you with HTC One's, can you confirm whether addresses from the Phone application will open the new Google Maps app? On my device, if I click on an address from the Phone/Contacts app, it doesn't do anything now, whereas before it would open the address in Google Maps (on the older version).
Anyone else?

Same here. Actually, when I tap an address in contacts, it opens at&t navigator, which I am not using. I disabled it and now nothing happens at all when you tap the address. I was hoping that by disabling the at&t navigator it would default back to Google maps.
Also, if you just tap in the empty search bar, it will bring up the information cards. Just scroll down to the bottom and the option to store the map offline is already there in this version.

Yeah, somehow the contacts app just lost connection to the maps app with this version, so even if you don't have another app set as default, it just does nothing when you click an address. My initially was opening Glympse because I had that installed, but even after uninstalling it, it still isn't opening Maps. Definitely a bug between the HTC contacts app and the new Maps... which means it's probably not going to fixed for some time. I'm hoping that the upcoming HTC One update to 4.2 will fix it... but who knows when AT&T will be rolling that out. I'm not interested at this time in rooting my phone and installing a custom rom to try to fix this.
Thanks for the tip about the offline maps setting, I found it.
EDIT: There is still a way to get a contact address to appear in the new maps. Just start typing the name of the contact that has an associated address and it'll show up in the search results. Not as convenient, but at least it's a workaround for now!
I like it but driving along the navigation lags behind where I actually am

I received the 7.0.1 update through the Play store this afternoon (I'm on AT&T stock 4.1.2). When I click on addresses in Contacts it gives me the option to open the address with AT&T Navigator or Waze but not Maps. Not sure what the behavior was with earlier versions of Maps because I never tried it before now.

The correct behavior would be to ask you what app to use for links, including the Maps app. But since the link to Maps is broken, it is just asking you amongst your other compatible apps. If you don't have any other compatible apps, it will do nothing when you select an address.
Note that this just happens in the Phone/Contacts app though in Sense. If you use Chrome or another Google app that has an address or map link, it will still open in the new Maps. So it might be something HTC has to fix, or it might be something just broken with the API in the new Maps app. Only time will tell, but as I mentioned, you can start typing a contact name in the new Maps app, and it will show the address, so that's a workaround for now.
I had to uninstall and reinstall old version. If I zoom out past a certain point, the map doesn't render.. I'm on ARHD 12 if that matters.

It's hard to say whether it's your custom rom or not, but the maps renders fine at all zoom levels on my HTC One running 4.1.2 stock.
