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.

"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

Yes me too, yesterday. Microsoft's resolved then I can accessing now.
Mines not working again now...........what the heck is Microsoft doing
Dear All,
I am having a prob for the past week or so. This happened after the marketplace in my phone was updated (my marketplace search bar shows Applications and Games Search now. The music search is gone.).
The problem is that whenever any of my apps have an update, I click on Update All and then instead of downloading the new updates, all the Apps show "Attention required. Press Here".
1. I pressed and retried. Didn't work.
2. I long pressed and retried, that didn't work either.
3. I long pressed and deleted the update, and tried updating again and that didn't help.
4. Restarting phone was of no use either.
Can anyone please help me with this? The only way I update now is delete the app altogether and re download the app. This is quite annoying as I lose the settings on some apps and have to enter them again.
I am using a T-Mobile UK unlocked Samsung Omnia 7 with the NoDo update.
Thanks!
Read this thread.

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-us/howto/wp7/apps/download-apps-and-games-faq.aspx
And for future reference and search:
Why do I get an "Attention required. Tap here." message when I try to download an app or game?
Your phone might have temporarily lost its Internet connection, or you might be trying to download an app that's too big to download over your phone's cellular data connection. If you're trying to download an app larger than 20 megabytes, you'll need to connect to a Wi-Fi network, or connect the phone to your PC and use the Zune software.
Cheers. I did search before a few times and did not find what I was looking for. Thats why I posted here to hopefully find some answers. Thanks again.

I have read all that before plenty of times and none of the solutions have worked for me. It doesnt work over wifi and the apps I download are all less than 1mb. Moreover, I know that anything greater than 20mb required me to download through Zune connection. My phone software is also up to date.
So back to square 1 for me.....
just wait.. it is a temprary problem..
Ok. Will wait for a fix....

Where it says "Pending" did you try holding your finger there and hit retry? (After you established a wifi connection)
It won't auto download it till you do.
No I haven't. But will definitely give that a try next time.

I am actually having the same issues sometimes in UK Marketplace. However, after a while, they "mysteriously" go away and I can download.
Which makes me think it's either a temporary issue on the server or something like that.
In other cases, it worked when I switched 3G off, but I think that's more of a network provider problem.
Know what im talking about
Hi Guys,
ive had this issue when NoDo first came out, i updated to NoDo with the ROMS on here and was still receiving same message for any application i was reqesting from Marketplace, i rolled back from NoDo and my markeplace worked again. so i tried few things different by installing different roms and updating and so on, and still got the same issue when the final update was NoDo.
one thing i did notice was that my app would install over 3G but not over wifi which was the strange part, and 3G is extremely expensive when you downloading games and large apps so that definitly was not an option for me.
i am still using the latest release just before NoDo, because of this issue and i hope some smarty can figure it out or Microsoft release a fix for this soon.
ive scavaged the internet and found zip info that helps ! others tried methods that worked for them but none work for me.
btw i have HTC Mozart and in South Africa
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.
Does anyone with Zune pass and Mango have this problem?
When playing songs/albums downloaded from Zune Pass, randomly it seems as though the player will lock up at the very end of a song, refuse to do anything else, and require a reboot if you want to continue listening to music. This does not happen with music transferred to the device. Very annoying.
HD7. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I often disable my data connection? Though it still seems to happen over wifi.
nope doesn't happen to me.

It could simply be a connection issue. If you are playing music off the Internet, it of course has to buffer and stream. This could simply be a result of a wonky internet connection, so your phone isn't able to get a reliable connection, so it's trying to get your next song for you, and that may unfortunately lock up your phone.
Probably a beta bug. But I've never experienced it at all.

That makes sense, but this is happening with music that I have downloaded to my HD7 with my Zune pass. Streaming music works perfectly, but downloaded music locks Zune up between tracks. Well it technically doesn't "lock" up, but it does refuse to play any other song and just sits on the last second of the track that locked. Perhaps it's trying to get data from the server or something even though it's already downloaded?

Oh I thought you were talking about streaming music with Zune Pass, downloaded Zune Pass tracks is something different.
I tested out a song and there was no lag at all.
I know that at some point, if you haven't sync'd your phone for a long time, my Zune HD would momentarily stall before playing a song I downloaded with Zune Pass. I assume its pegging the Zune server for license information to make sure I can still play it. But I haven't experienced that on Windows Phone, or even know if Windows Phone does that all (but its technically just Zune so I assume it does do it if I haven't sync'd in a long time). Though if you just upgraded to Mango, you have to plug in your phone for that just recently, so it can't be that.
Maybe just a bug? Corrupted installation? A hard reset might fix that.
nope doesn't happen to me.
I did hard reset my device, and the bug appeared to be gone; however, it has since started up again. Perhaps it happened when I synced my phone to OSX, I am not sure, but it is back. Very annoying, randomly freezing when listening to my albums. It still only applies to music downloaded on Zune Pass.

Yes, I have the same problem with 7712: It doesn`t related with data connection: I tested it with 3g+wifi, wifi without 3g, all data services off. There is the same result: player randomly stopped at the of song for a 5-10 seconds or locked at all.
PS: Phone is Samsung Omnia 7

I've had this problem since upgrading too. Although even since pre NoDo, sometimes tracks would randomly pause and then resume, and then repeat that a few times.
I'm using a Samsung Omnia 7.
looks like the Jetflicks website has either been shutdown or has crashed. Their facebook page wall has deleted all user comments and all support methods are unresponsive (e-mail/phone). Anyone know what's going on with Jetflicks?
I have been having the same problem for 2 days.. Not sure what's up. Jetflicks has never been good about responding to support. Not sure why they even offer a way to ask questions. Hopefully they have not been shutdown..
Edit: if you go to the PlayStore (Market) and look at Jetflicks it says they are down for Maintenance until 3-28-12.
Really hope they truly come back tomorrow...they have the best mobile TV VOD service I've ever seen.
Their back.....
You might also want to try DroidTV Primetime.
It pretty much is just getting the same "free" shows you can get from ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX etc. websites. But it brings it to your phone. And your phone becomes a DVR. I have it set up to record new show episodes only when I connect to my WIFI at home. Then I can watch stuff on the go without using 3G. So Jetflicks and this combined is AWESOME!!
If you try this keep in mind the first time takes awhile. What it does is (I THINK) is it will have a server go to the Website and essentially "watch" the show you want recorded and at the same time record it to its servers. After which it will then upload it to your phone. So I think by doing this it goes through the needed loop holes to stay legal. This is what I think it does, but I noticed when mega servers were shutdown by the goverment, this program stopped for a bit.... so who knows. But just remember they have to get to there severs and then to your phone so first time takes a bit.
When you delete a show, you have an option to delete and permanently delete the show. "delete" removes from phone and "permanently delete" removes from phone and their servers. If you will want to download it again then just delete. If you will not want to watch again remove from phone and their server....
