Earlier today I updated my Rogers Focus to Mango Beta 7712 through Zune 4.8. Now I am noticing the Music + Video hub is pulling and displaying artist pictures while I am viewing an album list. It doesn't seem to be pulling pictures for any other views or for the lockscreen option, and only about half the artists seem to have images. Also, there are no bio's or anything else, but artist pictures are definitely being pulled over WiFi.
Neither 7004, 7008, Nodo or Mango B2 did this, and as far as I know the only way to get these images before was to have an American Windows Live ID and phone region set to United aStates have a Canadian Windows Live ID and my device region is set to Canada. Is anyone else experiencing this? Could this be evidence progress is being made towards music for the Canadian amarietplace?

Oops, can't edit on Wp7 xda app. Hit the button too fast.
...*United States. I have a Canadian Windows Live ID...
*Canadian marketplace?
Or maybe this has been around for a while and I just didn't notice?

I'm using a carrier unlocked HD7 on Mobilicity in Toronto. Never had any problems whatsoever. Even pre-NoDo. Only issue that still exist is that the GPS is always off a couple blocks.
Even have the region set to Canada, and it's all good.
Thanks for the reply. I wonder what's changed for me?
Since its a false alarm, any mods who happen to read this, please delete the thread.

AA..contact a couple of devs..or contact zune support..if ur on Twitter, I have the zune support's handle.
Probably u can ask them...on the other hand,
Check for three things, Region of your computer (Control panel>Region and language). It should be United States.
Region of your Zune account (its the same as your Live account). Again, it should be United States.
Region of your Mobile phone. (US again.)
Match all three, go to Marketplace. And then try to do things mentioned in the earlier thread.
Lemme know if it works.
P.S: Im from India, Bombay. Plan to buy either HTC HD7 or HTC Mozart soon...
@WinPhoneSupport
AND
@ZuneSupport
ASk them and they will reply immediately...
Is anyone working on a Sirius Satalite radio app for Canada and the US, or possibly an upgrade for the SiriusWM5/6 app? And hopefully it works on all win7 phones.
I agree
however because there is no multitasking it would be hard to stream the app i believe. once mango is in place maybe itll be a possibility, but im just guessing. I had the music shark app (which disappeared from the marketplace) and every time I left the app it would stop playing. for now im using a sirius stilletto. I wrote the geekstoolbox forum on a wp7 app but they never responded
I'll happily look at writing one once mango is out. Until then music based apps are kind of pointless
I use Sat Rad Player, it works great on my Focus and is in the marketplace
I did not find this app in the marketplace

He had to rework the app due to the recent Sirius channel changes I believe. I think he submitted the new one on the 4th or 5th, so we should see it soon. I use it all the time on my phone, its great.
Im not convinced this app exists, can you show us some pictures?
Sent from my HD7 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
Not sure how to screen shot, but I'm not sure how, or why to convince you. Its on my phone so it definitely exists...on 5/5 he posted saying he was submitting the new one that day.

No worries....I wish it was currently in the Marketplace as I only have the trial and meant to buy it....but when I went to purchase, it wasn't there. So I cannot listen for very long. Its a great app though, hopefully he gets it up and running with the new changes.
Sat Rad Player is back in the market
I just bought my HTC Trophy 7 and am trying to download apps from the marketplace, however I can't seem to download without using a wifi connection from a home server, or an actual wifi box...
Why can't I just download using my 3g internet? Any help?
Edit: It only seems to not allow me to download xbox live games like Fable: Coin Golf. I was trying to download the trial... I have an xbox live gold account.
Games over a certain size limit require a wifi connection I believe.
Any way to disable that?
There's no way to disable it.

A warning pop-up would of been nice, ala Android.
Then again Microsoft have by their own admission gone the safe route on everything so far, and I guess you can't really blame them for that.
People suing them for data charge overages might not be good PR for a new phone os.
There is still no excuse for the current OS's lack of notification telling you to use WiFi to d/l the app or the marketplace should tell you. Otherwise you get ticked off users *****ing about it. Its all about making things easier and creating a positive light instead of the typical anti-ms spin that is so quickly propagated.
After Updating my LG-E900 to this version, in Marketplace, instead of "LG Apps" i now have "Obchod s aplikacemi".
Anyone else has this?
I use Italian Marketplace.
Does this affect anything like purchasing procedure?

Lol looks like you have Czech device or what.
First glimpse of Czech translation for upcoming Mango?
I noticed a few days ago the same thing on my C900 running 7392... Just thought it was a glich...
It doesn't affect purchasing apps.
I've checked a few minutes ago and now it has returned "normal": LG Apps store
that's odd!!!!!
Maybe czech users will have their own transaltion soon!!!
Perhaps it is because of the early beta. Glad everything is back to normal

So I got it and I'm very happy with it. What are the first things I should do?
Sent from my T7575 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
When you've setup all your accounts?
First thing to do would be to get it syncing with Zune on the PC, that'll also pull down any updates that are outstanding.
Then I went ahead and started installing all the apps that I'd researched prior to buying - ones I use daily are:
BBC News Mobile
Weather4Me
Amazon Kindle
Turn-by-Turn Navigation
Night Stand Clock Lite
HTC Youtube (is WAY better than the standard app)
To be honest, Windows Phone requires so little by way of setting up that you can probably safely start playing around with the settings, setting up live tiles/bookmarks in the browser, and generally making it your own!
I was pretty much done setting mine up within 2 hours...
For the YouTube app I'd look at either SuperTube or LazyWorm's YT app. Both have their merits. LazyWorm's seems to have the faster interface, but SuperTube has downloading of videos for offline playback.
Can't say I've tried anything beyong HTC's YouTube app, it works perfectly well and as a bonus even has a resume function so you can start where you left off..
One thing I did forget to say: Don't forget to setup security! A SIM PIN and device lock code are always recommended, and also, check out http://windowsphone.live.com where you can track, lock, and ring your phone if it gets lost or stolen.
The Arrive is CDMA, there is no sum.

Err? I presume you mean SIM, in which case I wouldn't know, but I'd assume there would be some alternative security measure.
It's generally good advice for the significantly larger number of GSM phones though. The Arrive is also not the only version of the 7 Pro

Reading through all the links you posted, none of this will help unlock a HTC Arrive since there is no Pre NoDo rom for the Arrive. Unless I am missing something. :/
The best thing aside from unlocking for now (which will be coming post nodo for what $19?) is to upgrade to the Mango Beta.
Hmm, but what is this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1142120 ? This is NoDo for Arrive or not ?
BTW install HSPL: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16189671#post16189671 and install customROM 7713: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1205111

You need a pre NoDo rom for the Chevron unlock you posted. There are none for the Arrive since it was released with NoDo installed.
The HSPL link specifically states that it does not support the HTC Arrive. Do not try it on an HTC Arrive or you could mess it up:
This release does NOT support these WP7F devices:
*GoldC (Arrive)
*SparkW (Trophy Verizon)
These devices are not supported because they are missing at the current moment in DFT team. Please don’t even try to use this release with them – it may brick your phone or make it unusable.

Yes, you right. I forgot about DFT not support Arrive.
What is wrong with the people on here? You don't NEED to jailbrake the thing, and if you do what the hell did you buy it for!?
