Yesterday while I opened Marketplace on my Samsung Omnia W (version: 7.10.8773.98), I got message in background as "Attention: You must install the Refresh Marketplace app before you can access app and games."
I installed this app. This app got listed in Xbox, but still message continues to display in background in Marketplace (seems its static image).
Any idea what is purpose of this app. I am not facing any issue in installing any app from Marketplace.
supposedly is to upgrade the marketplace to the same app that windows phone 8 users have (minus wp8 apps, obviously)
some people have suggested that this can be fixed with a hard reset, but i think that's a bit extreme considering the fact that you can still use the marketplace without problems
btw, some guy did this:
This procedure helped me (Nokia Lumia 800, Windows Phone 7.5 Mango):
- Install the "Refresh Marketplace" app from the remaining marketplace
- Run "Refresh Marketplace" app in the Xbox Games app
- Connect phone to the AC power charger.
- activate WLAN (if not done yet)
- Open "Marketplace" (still the remaining, incomplete version) and let the phone rest for a few hours (up to 24 hours) with active WLAN. After a while, a notification about open app updates should appear. Download and install all app updates - during this process, the Marketplace also receives its update.
Then, Marketplace will open in its current version.

I tried as well with all steps including Basic and Advanced troubleshooting options. But no success in recovering Marketplace. In fact I had lost access to all apps/games in Market place.
Finally I reset my handset. After Reset, when connected to Zune for configuring Phone again, New update was installed on my Phone (Samsung Omnia W). After Reset Marketplace is working fine.

Alright, I'm beating my head on a wall here so I figured I'd ask if anyone else has seen this happen and/or has any other suggestions I can try.
I tried deploying an app to my phone using "WP7-Deployer". The app deployed but then I received an error when the app attempted to run (the app probably had protection on it). So I went to go and uninstall the app, but first problem, the app did not appear on the phone (appears like it failed to deploy?). So I tried to download and install the app through the Marketplace (both on the phone and through the Zune app). The Marketplace on the phone tells me that the app is already installed and that it needs to be updated, but when you tell it to update it gets through the download and attempts to update but fails. The Zune app on the desktop says that the software has already been purchased.
The next problem I'm seeing now is that I can't seem to deploy ANYTHING to the phone (either through "WP7-Deployer" or "Tom XAP Installer v1.1". I've made sure that the phone is connected using the "WPConnect" method, and I've verified that the phone is still unlocked by checking it in Chevron.
So what am I missing? Has anyone had a similar issue? Is there anyway to fix this without resetting the phone?
I don't see any other things you can do except for resetting the phone... And next time you should take the "Quick XAP Deployer 1.4" (or fast? idk..) and tick the first two checkboxes.
Thanks for the reply DomiKamp. I actually meant the "Quick WP7 XAP Deployer v1.4" by eried when I said "WP7-Deployer" (wp7-deploy.exe is the name of his file). I've always checked all three check boxes in the deployer app (remove signatures, remove DRM, and launch the app) and I have those settings stored.
I just wish I knew what the problem is so that me or others can avoid it in the future. I guess I will reset my phone and report back on my findings.
I already solve my probleme.......I only reinstall and repair the framwork 4.0 and windows phone development tools

Just a thought.. Did you buy games and then look for them in the regular app list instead of the XBox live hub?
If you bought apps through Zune on your PC, then your phone will eventually download them automatically. Sometimes this can take up to an hour. You could try plugging your computer in and sync'ing them manually, and that should force your phone to download the apps immediately.
You could also just search up the app on the Marketplace and start a manual download of it. It will recognize that you have already paid for it.
both apps and games doesn't appear on app list and xbox menu
when i try to but them again it says you've already bought this app
I'm primarily an Android user and own a Samsung Omnia 7 to keep an eye on WinPho7 as it really tempted me in the past but seemed very immature as a platform. I like how it's coming along but I still use my Android handset most of the time. Now that I have that out of the way this should make sense.
Is there any way to force the Marketplace to check for updates to apps? I have a very odd issue where I can't connect to my home wifi using the phone, or more accurately I can connect but it will kill the connection 100% of the time so I tether to my mobile. As a result of that I don't like to tether it too long and want to know if it's possible to force an app update check for installed apps. Thanks for any help offered!
The easiest way is to launch Marketplace, click on the eyeglass button and write the name of your favourites applications you want to check for update...
Or, if you installed WP7applist, there's the "Updates" section and you can scroll it to check which applications came out with an update... Also here you can search like with Marketplace...
Total n00b Q here, but I had a WP7 in the past, bought a few apps. Switch to android, but am going back to WP7.
Q: Can I reinstall apps I paid for (Angry Birds, Navigation US+CAN, etc) on my new phone.
Account will be the same account as used with 1st phone.
Thanks!
FWIW, old device was a Quantum and new is a Focus.

Seems I may have found my own answer:
see link:
http://pauliom.com/2011/11/26/how-to-transfer-apps-with-windows-phone-7-wp7/
" if you attempt to buy an app that you have previously purchased/installed then the marketplace will realise this and ask you if you just wish to reinstall it again. It’s a bit off putting to have to press ‘buy’ but it seems to install without incurring a payment."
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...ne-phone/c013094c-7028-4264-aed3-d0bf588ec96c
Guess we will find out if this is true!
Any input or advice is still welcomed!
Yes. Goto https://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/account, login with your LiveID and you'll see app purchase history with ability to automatically reinstall.
Tip from MS: To have apps or games you buy in the web Marketplace automatically installed on your phone, on Start, flick to the App list, tap Settings, tap Find My Phone, and select Connect to these features faster (may use more battery).
You can also login with the original user account on the Web Marketplace and it will show you ever app you have bought or download and even gives you the option to reinstall the app to X phone that you have registered to the account.
You an also install and app called Reinstaller. It will query your Windows Live account and give you your purhcase/download history. You can select items from the list and reinstall. Much faster than going to the website one at a time.

Thanks! I found that app as well.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S10 with Android 11
I have a Dell network laser printer 3110cn, on a fixed IP on the network
In general It's possible to print directly from the phone to a network printer, using Settings > Connections > More connection settings > Printing, if one selects "Download plugin" and installs e.g. from the Play Store, the correct mobile printing service app for one's printer manufacturer
Aside from the manufacturer-specific mobile printing service apps on the Play Store, there's also a handful of non manufacturer-specific ones.
I've tried all the non manufacturer-specific ones. Most failed to find & recognise the printer, but a couple succeeded & did at least try to communicate with the printer. I never got past garbage being printed, or last minute demands for payment though.
The 'correct' solution would be to use Dell's com.dell.mobileprint / "Dell Mobile Print" printing service app. This was discontinued by Dell a while ago though & was removed from the Play Store.
I did eventually manage to find a clean copy of the Dell Mobile Print 1.2.0.79 apk. It installed OK but with the warning about it being made for an earlier version of Android.
When I try to run it, everything seems fine however, the app only stays open for a few seconds before closing itself. During the few seconds it's open, everything does seem to respond as it should though.
Is there any likelihood I could use the Android software development tools etc. to reverse-engineer the apk & repackage it, such that it'll stay open and maybe work a bit better on newer Android?
I've figured out apktool (on linux desktop pc) & have used it to decode the apk & have a look around, but I'm not too sure what I'm looking at from that point on. I have lots of xml files and icons.
(if there's an easier, simpler solution to achieving the aim of printing straight from my Android 11 phone, to my Dell network printer, I'm all ears. Both phone and printer are on the same 192.168.x.x network)
Under the hood each app makes use of Android APIs - compiled software components ( AKA libraries ): These APIs often change from Android version to Android version.
Hence an app's developer defines for his app both a minimum and a maximum version of those APIs to ensure the app runs as expected.
In your case it would require a complete re-compile of the app.
.
Thanks for your reply.
I found another app from Dell - "Dell Document Hub" - which although also abandoned and removed from Play Store, does work well after sideloading despite 'older version of Android' warnings.
I guess the writing's on the wall for this printer though, no doubt eventually this app too will succumb to the march of Android progress.
