Has Windows marketplace ceased for windows phones? and does this mean all the apps i had stored in marketplace are now out of reach?
Last time i checked i could still download purchased apps.
Whole day I can't sign in from the phone, but from the PC everything is OK. Strange
Hi,
The information from Microsoft was that MarketPLace on PC will stop in August, but MarketPlace from your Phone still continued and it still possible to buy and update applications without any end date at the moment.
Thougt, Microsoft MyPhone for Win 6.* will definitively stop in september I think.
yes the marketplace isn't available
After two days of no working, today is working again!
I grabbed a couple of apps I was looking for...
Are there some clear plans of Microsoft about the Marketplace for WM?

Yesterday I had to do a factory reset on my WM6.5 phone which forced me to reinstall all my applications. I had a few applications installed via marketplace, but I can't reinstall them because marketplace keeps telling me it can't connect (applications that I had not installed previously using marketplace can be installed without any problems).
So my question is, how can I remove applications from my purchased list ? I checked the marketplace website, but there is no such button and searching the web didn't offer the solution .
I've just installed an update for marketplace, but I still can not install previously purchased (free) applications. It keeps giving me
Error We encountered an error while trying to reach the Windows MarketPlace server

I've already adjusted my time and changed the Aku value from .5.5.0 to .5.3.00. I've even tried installing an older (hacked) version but that didn't work either.
If tried it over edge, wifi and activesync, using different catalogs, nothing works
Btw, I'm now using Marketplace 1.2.1422.0000
The problem fixed itself a few days ago.
Probably was something wrong at the Microsoft side of life
Hi all.
I've been enjoying the Assassin's Creed game trial over the past few weeks and decided to purchase the full game over the Zune client.
However I can't seem to get it onto my phone - each time I launch the game it tells me I am still using the trial. There is only tile for it in the Xbox LIVE hub, and I have tried restarting my phone and connecting it to my PC, with apparently no change. I've also checked in my updates list and the game isn't listed there.
Totally baffled, any suggestions?
Did you already try uninstalling the app and reinstalling it from the MarketPlace. You won't be charged twice; the MarketPlace will recognize you already bought the game.
Cheers Stingray, that seems to have worked!
Do you know if this is a common problem?

The Marketplace in its current form has several bugs, some related to the Trial mode. One of the most prominent ones being that you (often) cannot update an application that you have installed in trial mode. The update process seems to work just fine, but the update never actually gets installed and Marketplace will keep telling you there's an update.
As for your particular issue, I haven't experienced that one myself. But when things go wrong you can often solve it by uninstalling/reinstalling the app. The only disadvantage of this solution is that you probably lose your application's settings or some in-app data (save games, downloads, in-app purchases, etc.).
By the way, this isn't a Windows Phone specific solution. Works for iPhone/iPad/Android too
Also Microsoft has promised to fix some MarketPlace bugs in the coming January/February update.
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.
I live in Sweden and Windows phone marketplace insists on only allowing me access to apps it decides are available in Sweden, even free apps.
I was able to download the kindle reader app on my Android from Sweden but Microsoft says it is "not available in your region" when I try to download it on to my Nokia lumina 800.
I have had a chat session with Amazon who say it is Microsoft blocking it and the Microsoft forum say it is Amazon.
This is really hacking me off, as I use the app to read on trains etc.
I was able to get the skype app yesterday without going through the marketplace where it is still not available. I was wondering if anybody has an idea as to how to get the kindle app other than via the marketplace
Thanks Rick
I also live in Sweden and i found some apps that i want and have on my android phone, but due to region restrictions i cant download to my phone.
Its kinda big deal for me not being able to get the apps i want and im willing to pay for.
Just uninstalled a few apps (Official Aljazeera, E! Red Carper, etc) on my WP 7.8 and to my realization, some of these apps are no longer published at the store when I go into my purchase history and try to reinstall them.
Are they no longer available to WP 7.8 and available to only WP 8?
Why are they no longer published?
Is Microsoft removing them and Why?
Can anyone try to see if they are available in different regions? And if they are not, why is Microsoft limiting these general apps at the store? Are they prematurely forcing us to WP 8?
If you still use WP 7.x, try logging into windowsphone.com, go to your purchase history and see the number of apps that are no longer published (you can see these apps cuz they are directly indicated in orange ink as such and not finding the reinstall link beside these apps)
Please help, need more insights into this and now I better watch out for important apps before I uninstall them....might not have them again if you do....just like in my situation now. Regretted uninstalling these apps seriously and kinda sad now :'(

It's not just WP7. A lot of developers have dropped support for the platform as a whole.
Well that's very bad for Windows Phone.

The same issue i have. My country: Romania.
Wierd thing is apps like Kayak are ON THIER WEBSITE.. and I could download a XAP but not in the marketplace.
Seems 7.8 must have borken a lot of them or something.
I would love to know how to sideload Kayak with the XAP on to my DVP with the latest 7.8
I don't think you cab sideload the Xap files on WP 7.8. You'll need an SD Card to do that and legacy devices lack that. Too bad for WP 7.8

You can sideload xaps on custom ROMS in WP7.8
