Lost Favorites in IE again! - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just when I thought it was safe to get back into IE "Favorites" again, they disappeared! This had happened several times prior to Mango, but when I completed the upgrade last fall, I began to build the list again. Now it happened again! Is there any way to get them back? Does anyone else have this issue?

Old Android Market after stock 2.2 update

I just updated to the stock 2.2 and noticed the android market app is the old version. Anybody else have this issue? Is there anyway to update it?

Clear the app data in the manage applications menu. Should fix it.

I noticed that the first time I ran the market app after the Froyo install, it was loading a different interface. The next time I used it, it reverted to the old one again. I've tried deleting the app date, rebooting, etc, but it never has gone back to the new one.

It will give it time to update. I flashed last night to clear out a few things and the market was an older one and stayed that way for like 4 hours, Then it changed.
After the update, I had the ancient market. After I waited about 5 minutes and checked again, the new interface was installed, no need to clear any data. The ROM must have included the other one and out just needed to update like on the old ROM.

Hmmm. I just browsed the market for quite some time, and it never has switched over to the new layout.
You probably need exit the market first. Try exiting and then restart your phone after a little bit to see if it installs the update. Remember that it's a background update and may not happen immediately.

Would it matter if I was on wifi instead of Edge for this to occur?
I was on wifi, but it shouldn't matter.

I just did a factory reset on my phone in order to attempt to fix the Quick Office problem, the market update, and some other weird quirks. So far everything appears to be fixed except the market. The very first time I loaded it, it was the new interface. The next time it switched right back to the old one.
OK probably stupid, but when I saw people talking about new market I thought it was just the apps available, and since I could get flash, I thought I had it. Now I see folks mentioning different interface? What's supposed to be different on the interface ? I think I have the same one as I had on 2.1

What little I saw of it, the layout didn't have so much green color to it, and the top interface was different. I plan on trying to delete the app data for it today and try to get it to update once I go into town and get closer to a tower. Maybe it will finally download and update.
Anyone else still have the old market showing up? It's been several days now even after a factory reset, and even though my phone loaded the new interface on the first run, it went right back to the old and never has updated. I've cleared data and so on, but nothing works. Should I try the "Uninstall Update" button for the market app?

I had this problem...I was told to go to Applications->Manage Applications->All->Market and select "Clear Data". Then reboot phone. This should cause your "Market" to update after several minutes.
This worked for me.

Sorry I just read your post again and you stated that you already cleared data. I am not sure what to try. I cleared data rebooted left the phone alone for about twenty minutes then checked and the market updated.

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

[Q] "Attention Required. Press Here" during updating Apps from Marketplace

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.

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

[Q] Samsung Focus random shutdowns/restart in Mango

I've been having issues with my Samsung Focus when I install Mango RTM in it. It will randomly restart while using apps. I tried going back to 7008 and back up to 7720 and the same problem still happens. It doesn't happen in NoDo though. So I'm curious if anyone has had this problem and if there's a fix for it.
I tried searching for a solution and I couldn't find anything.
Thanks in advance.
I am having the same issue on my quantum. But it has rebooted once while messaging, and another time in bing search. So far twice in one week. The only up side is... It reboot so fast

Had to reboot for the 1st time

Been running all developer preview builds of mango and now have the official from Att for my 1.3 focus and had to reboot (due to OS problem) for the fist time over the weekend.
I received a text message with photo attached and every time id try to tap on the photo nothing would happen. Backed out of messaging and back in, same problem.
Rebooted and it went away.
Just wanted to post cause this OS has literally been rock solid until that point...... At least for me......

Same problem again today, anyone else?

The only problem mine has had was enabling the Bluetooth for the first time. The system crashed. But once rebooted, it hasn't done it again.
EDIT - I just sent an MMS to my Focus with a picture attached. I tapped it, it opened and nothing bad happened.
Wierd, I never had these problems on 7712
All related to the messaging hub....
