[Q] Is it normal for a delay in marketplace from Zune on pc to Windows Phone? - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Last night I noticed a couple of new podcasts were showing in Zune on my laptop. Since I have Mango I figured I would download directly about an hour later. I went to marketplace on phone and the newest episode wasn't there. When I got up at 1 today I looked and it was finally there. So last night at 3 the podcast was on Zune but not phone. Since I went to bed I don't know how long of a delay it may have been. I have seen this before but just shrugged it off.

Marketplace problems today 5/5/11 anyone else?

"Can't get this information at the moment. Check again in a little while."
When i try to download or update apps.
also get "Can't play try signing in with your Windows Live ID or synchronising again." when trying to stream music with my zune pass
I Rebooted the phone, changed my live ID password, synced phone with Zune, took the battery out of the back, deleted the offending apps (now i cant redownload them and use them get same message), I am doing all these updates via Wifi, the router is about 10 feet from the phone in same room so no connection issues.
It's really annoying me now. I really want to like this OS but all the little bugs like 3rd party live tiles not updating, marketplace bugs, no call duration information in call log etc are starting to wear me down, factory resetting the phone is not a solution, having to reinstall all your apps and resync 10gig of music and files every time this OS has a hiccup is ridiculous.
I am having the same problems with my markeplace ever since I updated my phone this morning, please tell me I wont have to hard reset my phone!!!
It seems to be widespread. I'm hoping for a crazy billing update of some kind

Yeah i have been getting that today also am hoping it goes back to normal soon.
Yeah, I'm having the same problems. Ticking me off because I have two app updates and I want to download Square Off. Its not a bug though since its widespread, MS is probably doing something to the servers.

Microsoft is aware of the problem. Its affecting NoDo builds. They haven't released any fix as of yet. Started five hours ago or so.

Ah well makes me feel better it's not just my phone been stupid.
Marketplace is back up and I'm dowloading all my updates!!
Mines started working again too, yay!
yes i too !!!
i tried to start marketplace but it don't work HELP!!!
It's still not accessible on my phone. Strange thing is, when i use the app Marketplace Search and select an app i'm redirected to the Marketplace site of that app.
I have updated my phone yesterday with the latest security update.
I have problem too. I get try later message.
I have an HTC Arrive which came with NoDo and did not have any trouble today at all.
Mine is fine now, must have been coincidental that the problem started just after I updated.
I've seen this happen a few times in the past. It always seems to go away after a little bit.
I also faced it today morning and rebooted multiple times with no luck. Afternoon it resolved by itself.
I think marketplace was down for a while. It's okay now.
Had same problems til 2pm...Working now

Mines not working again now...........what the heck is Microsoft doing

[Q] Is this how podcasts work on Mango?

I subscribed to a few podcasts on my phone with the Mango beta and after I listened to them I deleted them. The next day I was looking to see what was out there and noticed when I selected one I had already listened to it showed subscribe at the bottom instead of unsubscribe.
So does this mean I have to keep at least one on the phone to stay subscribed?
that is the same thing i discovered as well seems dumb but it may be a bug.have you tried sync thru zune does it unsubscribe you if you do it that way
They don't show as subscribed in Zune. One question I have is.. If I have it set at 1 will the phone auto download the next new episode? I have it set at newest 1st and of course if I delete it , it downloads the next oldest. Should have a setting by date maybe?
update:
The music/video tile didn't show update but I went into my podcasts and it showed which ones had a new one. So with only one on phone that was already played it was removed with a new one added. One downside is I have had horrible battery life the last two days. And that is with bluetooth off but wifi on.

[Q] waiting online for help with DVP mango update

update: problem solved by itself. I unplugged the phone without letting zune finishes it and all the functions become available after 5 minutes. texts are back, twitter is added after several attempts.
hello everyone
I just received a push notification of the mango update the second time this month. this time the update is really available for the unlocked t-mo unit that I use on ATT. since my pc does not have enough space to backup all the files I decided to go ahead without backing up anything in advance. the update went smoothly until at the final step of the second installment. zune now is being showing "step 9 of 9 completing updates" for half an hour now. looks like the UI on my phone is mango's and all the apps I had are there. but the contacts and text messages are missing. (I cant even open the text message hub) and the people hub is not functioning properly - no contact - no facebook except the several friends I pined to start are shown on main screen. a notification on DVP says the update is complete but zune is still at the final step. should I wait for a couple more minutes or just disconnect it? is there anyway I can recover my text messages if I lose them? I had some backed up on my pc like 2 months ago.
any advice or suggestion is appreciated! I'm waiting for your help now for an hour. thanks!

Zune won't auto download subscribed podcasts

I have been subscribed to Tech News Today via the Zune software on WP7 and every weeknight at approximately 645PM EST a new episode goes live. Whether my phone is plugged in or not or on WiFi or not it never seems to get the latest episode. I've marked the episode I downloaded already played but it still doesn't download. I find I have to unsubscribe from the podcast, delete all previous episodes, restart my phone and resubscribe.
Does anyone else have this problem or know of a way to correct it?
Edit: the newest episode does not show in the marketplace list either until I reboot.

I have this same problem on my LG Quantum. I came intended to post this same question, but you beat me to it.
It looks like either no one know, or no one want to help. I am so disappointed with the Zune app.
I too am having the exact issue. Did anyone find a solution? I bought a windowsphone to use strictly as a Zune and the podcast feature is the prime reason. I already cant get wireless sync to work, so I was counting on the auto download over wifi while connected to charger.
You might have been better off looking for a second-hand Zune HD if you didn't want the phone functionality, but anyhow...
What's wrong with the WiFi sync? If that is a viable option for you, I'd focus on making it work first. Alternatively, just plug your phone into the computer every night.
I'm not saying there aren't solutions out there, but necroposting a thread from 3.5 months ago that didn't offer any solutions isn't a good sign.

Necropost, LOL.
Went phone route for three reasons. Cheaper $50 vs. $100+. Reason 2 , Bluetooth for bt playing in vehicle home etc. Reason 3 , I wanted to get my feet wet with Windows phone.
Wireless sync is a no go. I get error COODO7OA which gets no hits. Zune sw is on my htpc So I don't want to go to crazy uninstalling updating etc. So I found the OTA podcast sync feature in Mango and thought great just plug it in everynight and wake up with all my podcasts ! Unfortunately its seems to be broken. Some podcasts sync fine others require an unsubscribe,delete and reboot. Then resubscribe.
SOLVED
For those minor few that are in the same boat and find your way to this post, I believe I have found the issue.
Apparently the Zune checks as soon ass you plug in your device or sometime close to that. I believe the criteria is over 50% battery, wifi and 10.Minutes on charge.
The problem is once it checks it doesn't check again, and there is no way to force it other than delete podcast and all episodes reboot device an resubscribe.
So the real fix would be to be able to force it to look on command or different intervals.
What I am doing now is waiting to plug it in until after I know all my podcasts hit the servers. and then plug in. That has solved my issues. In the past I would plug it in at night early it would check, but some of my podcasts (Adam Carolla) didnt go live until after the check. So now I hook up in the morning and it pulls everything in just fine.
I understand this may not be ideal for everyone because you need the phone charging overnight, but I use my windowsphone as a bluetooth podcast player and its ideal.
TL;DR
Don't plug in your device until you know your podcasts are on the server and available for download.
Make sure phone is plugged in (dont need to wait 10 min)...then go to the podcast on the phone and click the unsubscribe button and then cancel, and then settings and confirm, it will recheck for more podcasts immediately.

Gear S2 Bluetooth constantly disconnecting from phone

Hi There,
About a week ago, there was an update to the Gear S-Plugin on my phone. I installed this update and all of a sudden when I received a call on my phone, the name would be displayed on my watch. GREAT. I've been wanting this feature. Then I started to notice that my watch was constantly disconnecting/reconnecting to my phone. I've been playing around with settings for the past week trying to get it to work. Today, I bit the bullet and decided to re-install all software. I reset the watch to factory and uninstalled all related software and started from scratch. Not 10 minutes after I finished, my watch disconnected again. It spends more time being disconnected than connected. Am I the only one experiencing this issue? For the past year and a half since I got the watch, it is been working flawlessly. Nothing has changed on my phone other than app updates.
Any thoughts or suggestions as to what to try next would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Jason...
