Music I've bought from the Marketplace plays fine, the issue for me has only cropped up while playing synced music. (I don't really use Zune Pass very much.)

The issue was much less common in Nodo but definitely happened on numerous occasions.

Now I can't be sure, but nearly every other person I've seen complaining about Zune crashes is using an HD7 so it could be device specific.

What's more likely is the actual files I am syncing are at fault --corruption maybe (some of these mp3s have been transferred from drive to drive across the years) or other issues such as non-standard bitrates. But the thing is, these files play perfectly well in every other music player I throw at them *without exception*. Which is what leads me to suspect that WP7 Zune is the weak link. Not only that but they play fine on my WP7 Zune 90% of the time.

I'm still mad that there's no gapless playback. Come on, that was the standard years ago. Why regress? :(

Don't know if this has been posted: when playing music and hitting the search button, the music will stop for <1 second. Still its noticable..

Seems like a LED flashlight is not working in latest 7712 (tested on Samsung Focus and HTC Surround).

On 7712: When I disable the ringtone for example new e-mails, the phone also isn't vibrating. Is this the exprected behaviour?

Voice navigation missing for the UK??

I'm a new developer and have only had the Mango Beta 2 update for 2 days. I'm in the UK on O2 and I have an HD7 just to make it clear. I can't get turn by turn voice navigation going. In fact when I went to the settings page in maps it didn't have a setting for turning this on like I've seen in videos of earlier Mango builds. Can anyone in the UK on the Mango Beta 2 build confirm that they have voice navigation??
[Windows Phone 7 General] silvertonesx24:
Interesting. I've heard that it may have something to do with having a password on the lock screen. Or with regularly syncing to the computer. Do you regularly sync your phone with the Zune software? Do you have a lock screen password? Do you keep data on all the time?

The issue is documented here as well

http://forums.create.msdn.com/forums/p/87576/525658.aspx

This is a terrible issue, and it better be fixed in the final version or I am dropping Zune Pass and going over to Spotify or something.
[Windows Phone 7 General] shinygerbil:
Ha! I hadn't seen that but recent experimentation had led me to believe it was something to do with the lock screen! Mainly because Zune will only ever crash while the screen is locked. Thanks for the link!

In a related(ish) note, I can't get Smart DJ to work. Is this another quirk of mine? :p

1. Still no voicemail notification (network dose not have visual voicemail)

Still looking for others
[Windows Phone 7 General] Aphasaic2002:
If we're talking technical bugs (rather than usability issues), I have two silly ones:

- When you add your Twitter account in "emails and accounts", under "username" it shows your real name instead of your Twitter username.

- With Facebook integration, there's no way to view "likes". So I got a notification under the "me" hub saying "5 people like your status", but I couldn't see who without going to the official FB app.
[Windows Phone 7 General] NoWorthWhile:
Bug:

When you receive a message, you answer it, and press the Windows key to go back to home, the app drawer keeps it there. So far so good.

But get another message from the same person, you click on the notification on the top of the screen, it opens a SECOND messaging app... And then, it doesn't auto-capitalize.

And each time, it opens a new messaging app. Only way to restore normal behavior is to close the app using back key.

It wasn't like that in the first Mango Beta.

Can someone try it?
[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
Pretty sure the delay for the lockscreen text is a bug. It doesn't seem to have a set delay as I have had some that have taken longer than others.

I'm sure thats worked out in the final build we will get with firmware for the phone, but part of me still wonders.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Aphasaic2002:
I just found a proper BIG one:

In call history, if you set 12 hour clock then time of call shows up as 1a / 1p instead of 1am / 1pm.
[Windows Phone 7 General] feygor:
I've noticed that if you have a png image as your background (with transparent layer) the unlock screen seriously gets screwed up, though this might just be with mine, anyone else found this problem if they used to use transparent backgrounds?
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
That started already with the first beta and is well known. ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] jmerrey:
This could just be me, but none of my new facebook friends are showing up in my contacts. I even deleted and re-added my facebook account, but with no luck. I had to reset my phone to get my linkedin and twitter contacts to show, I hope it's not the same with new contacts for these accounts as well.
[Windows Phone 7 General] silvertonesx24:
It definitely has to do with the lock screen- if you disable lock screen time-out it will never lock up. I have my lock screen set to 1 minute time out, and 5 minute time out with a password, on an HD7, and it locks up.

You can bypass this issue somewhat by turning the phone on when it reaches the end of the track.
[Windows Phone 7 General] xcvista:
I didn't see those bugs on my HD7 (Jailbroken and upgraded to 7.10.7712)

we're having trouble creating the smart dj mix. In settings, make sure the connect with Zune option is turned on and connect your phone to the PC"

Needles to say, it is and has been......

any ideas?

also, simce upgrading to Mango last night the headphone volume controls have stopped working.

again, any ideas?
[Windows Phone 7 General] beefalo:
Did this ever work? They just added it for iPhone, and they haven't even made it possible to sync multiple calendars to WP7 without disabling JavaScript in the browser when changing the sync settings. I was just assuming that this was Google's issue (which would probably not get resolved for a long time, as per their usual).
[Windows Phone 7 General] Erik Latranyi:
Perhaps not a bug, but under SETTINGS --> EMAIL + ACCOUNTS --> FACEBOOK

I cannot edit the Facebook settings and cannot delete the Facebook account. It has the wrong e-mail in it, so it does not work. It appears that Mango pulled my old Facebook email into that field and I cannot fix it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] EvenXY:
It's a very crappy bug for a phone :o ...
[Windows Phone 7 General] N3croman:
Another bugs

- when syncing manually Gmail account, it does sometimes nothing for the first try, like there is no new email, but when clicking 'sync' for the second or third time, it downloads new emails.

- when tapping and holding tile for rearranging, if you tap and hold just for the moment when other tiles move to the background and then you release the hold of the tile in the right moment, all tiles move to the background and you can't do anything in the tile rearranging screen. only press one of buttons to leave this screen. This is surely some race-condition bug, I may tape it and put to youtube to show it, that's it is actually happening.

- when running Sputnik JavaScript or similar hardcore test in IE9, it almost freezes the phone - clicking back does not work, clicking home takes several seconds to end the browser, also redrawing of the screen when zooming/moving is very slow. The test also won't finish due to some JavaScript(?) problems.

Google for (Sputnik JavaScript Conformance - version 2)
[Windows Phone 7 General] darkeingel:
Have problems after I've updated the phone to first beta with waking the screen after I finish the call. Literally I have to press the power button to be able to end the call, because the screen just timed out.

This is 2 out of 3.

Also still got issues with Copy/Paste icons placement.

And the UNICODE characters (East European) are broken here.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Sweeter than Apple:
Some bugs and a wish

I've got a Trophy running Mange Beta 2 and this is some of the bugs I've noticed

Bugs

-Skydrive and streaming of music says: Sorry, can't play file on your phone but only if I have permissions on the music folder. If I leave the music folder available to everybody out there, then I can play my music??

-Xbox live, I try to edit my avatar and it says: Either this game isen't avaiable, or we're having trouble to connect to Marketplace?

Wish

-Why can't I sort the contacts in my groups the way I want? I want to drag the contact tiles around.
[Windows Phone 7 General] andycted:
A few bugs I noticed:

* Call issues: When trying to end a call, there are many things that can lock the interface. Many times you have to press the power button

* IE9: opening a favourite from the start (don't know if it's a condition) sometimes lacks the address/menu bar. You have to restart ie9

* IE9: many wordpress themes won't show comments. Overall, there are a lot of other situations too where either the browser stutters, lags or just doesn't show parts of the page

* IE9: lacks find in page-hope this is re-added before rtm

* Gmail (or other mails too ?): If emails start appearing and you have a few, opening one results in multiple 'new email' alerts, once per email

* lockscreen clock: delay when waking up

* Pictures scrolling: messed up, many times it jumps instead of scrolling

* Scrolling: Scrolling for some controls is jittery, or jumps

this beta2 is supposedly extremely close to RTM. I think they messed it up and rushed it because they know they need 4-5 months for carrier testing/pushing.

Also, some of the basic missing features should have been there already in November.

- hotmail flagging

- select all emails, bulk actions

- copy/paste select all

- call history duration (was it there with NoDo ???)

No excuses at all for the absence after a year and that's an indication it's rushed.

when apple touted hundreds new features with ios 4, it felt stupid and it was marketing, but the phone already had everything else in place.

When wp7 touts 500 new Mango features, I don't know... they miss something my monochrome alcatel had and it feels even more stupid to me
[Windows Phone 7 General] basteman:
You must have a list of at least 40 tiles for the letters to show up...

so maybe that's no bug.

Hello, i have found this bugs at my lg optimus 7 (nodo forced)

Banding (but we knew that already)

Sensor doesn't work. When I put the phone to my ear during a call, the screen stays on. I have to manually lock the screen.

[Windows Phone 7 General] jbaggaley@gmail.com:
A couple more I have found...

Hi there,

Loving Mango so here is a couple I have noticed. Phones:- Omnia 7 / HTC HD7

1) If you download an album from the marketplace using the phone and then there is network or similar issue, the album gets confused. After resuming/completing download when you click on it to view the songs, only the first is shown as part of the album. I also had at least one track that was mostly just static after downloading correctly.

2) Clicking on settings ->messaging -> facebook chat -> set up -> [connecting to facebook....] -> Address not valid / link out of date

3) Still no easy way to see the current playlist. If I have hit auto DJ I should be able to see the tracks either by clicking the song label like you do with an album (still only shows album tracks) or at least see it in the playlists tab

4) Copy and paste icon always half off screen (on my HD7 as well) in messaging

5) Album art setting just shows red fading not an image - in the event of no image then please use the normal wallpaper image

6) Please can we have cross fading sometime eventually? I had it on my really old windows phones 6 years ago - dance tracks are so much better without gaps & mixing together!

Does anyone know if there will be another CTP of mango before it goes live later this year?

Thanks

Jon
[Windows Phone 7 General] Mowd:
Thanks for your idea.

I found if I change the system locale to my county Taiwan, the maps will loose these functions.

Change them back to Australia become normal now.

Zune live tile doesn't seem to ever update to the current playing artist unless i go into the app. This was broke on NoDo too though.
[Windows Phone 7 General] 0711:
I think there are some problems with german umlauts in email messages....

when i send a message with umlauts to an nodo omnia 7....and he answeres the message...i cant see my umlauts in the old text.

This only happens with the ä ... üöß seems to be fine!

Dont know if this is a problem with mango or nodo O.o...but it was not present in mailing between nodo and nodo.

Another EMail App bug is, it missinterprets the writing of the date/time in germany as telephone number

for example

03.07.2011 20:05

the fat part will be interpreted as telephone number

edith:

hm the problem with german umlauts happened only one time...cant reconstruct the problem

but the date/time missinterpreting is there

Marketplace doesnt work ?

( cant update, cant buy anything - htc hd7 )
[Windows Phone 7 General] andrew-in-woking:
Suggestion

Hi all

Some of these bugs seem quite legitimate and others seem to be a result of some users who have not understood how the functionality has changed in Mango from NoDo.

My suggestion is that if you detect a but, make sure you post about it on an official Microsoft WP7 forum. The more feedback Microsoft get now, the better the retail version of Mango will be when it comes out.

Cheers

marketplace works fine

another issue

search button on omnia 7 dont works in marketplace (goes to bing search instead of marketplace search)
[Windows Phone 7 General] jotapm:
Actually, games are a lot better on my Omnia 7 after Mango.

It's not a bug, it's a feature :P

Now the search button always takes you to bing.

That's the way it's supposed to be. If you swipe, the full icon will appear.
[Windows Phone 7 General] colossus_r:
From what i read here i have to say that ... Common sense its not so common.

HTC Trophy seems to be running 32 bit now after the Mango update for me. Its a night and day difference on this phone. Dont know why your phone didnt get 32 bit with the update. Maybe with the final Mango update it will.:)
[Windows Phone 7 General] edpham:
how does it work ?, i search FB apps then i dont see any download button, even i update htc software it stucks in " waitting " then crash.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jotapm:
How can I check it it's fixed?
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
Download WP Bench from the marketplace. There is a section for testing graphics. Either you'll clearly see bandings there (not fixed then), or you don't (fixed).

For me I gotta say, I never had any 16 bit banding since NoDo. Not in native apps and not in 3rd party apps. After I applied the pre_mango release, I had 16 bit banding in 3rd party apps all of a sudden. I hope Microsoft will fix it in the final release. If not, there's still the reg hack.
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:

this happens on my quantum, when writting with the touch screen keyboard I can switch between languages(office, sms, emails, search)... but when I open the qwerty keyboard only ENU (english) language is available. This was not happening on NoDo.
[Windows Phone 7 General] derausgewanderte:
LG Quantum, when I enter People hub it displays "looking for news..." at top and with the running dots it flashes on and off twice a second. Very often the notification bar also pops up in sync with this message (wifi, 3G, battery icon). Facebook images in the what's new section also flash. Looks messed up. Very rarely after some time it works.

edit: ok, just figured this only happens if I have all accounts enabled (LinkedIn, WindowsLive plus Facebook). If I choose either one of these everything is fine.
[Windows Phone 7 General] koornneef:
I have trouble with transparent pngs in the lockscreen. all sorts of repeated partial times, etc.

Hey everybody.

I paired my HD7 with a media player via bluetooth and played a music.

it played the music through the media player but there was a problem. The phone's loudspeaker was turned on too. it was not playing music , but i could hear a noise. i think it sould not turn the speaker on when connected to other device...
[Windows Phone 7 General] Marvin_S:
Hey people, im running the mango beta and now I wanted to play a song trough zune. So i selected an artist and clicked a song but instead of playing the song i clicked it played a totally different song. I tried it a couple of times and every time it played the same different song... So than I verified if the song was not corrupted or something so I clicked the next button until I reached the song I wanted to play... Guess what? The song just played fine. can somebody else try this as well and let me know if they have the same bug?

The steps I did:

open Zune and click directly on the play arrow.

it will now play all your songs,

Now select an artist click a random song from the artist and verify if it lays this exact song you have selected.

For me it consequently did not play it. Im reflashing mango now so cant test it again, probably a weird complicated bug.

Thank you
[Windows Phone 7 General] mikeeam:
My Marketplace isnt refreshing anymore, since mango. Don't know if it is just me, but i'm reporting.

Had this issue with NoDo and just solved with a hard reset.

Anyone else?
[Windows Phone 7 General] 0711:
Is it normal that the search button isnt anymore app specific -> it allways jumps to bing web search instead of marketplace search or people search in app hub (for example)?

Will this be the same in the final version?
[Windows Phone 7 General] mikeeam:
Yes, it is.

Now every app that include search will need a virtual button. The hardware search button always lead you to bing, which sux, because it's easier to find something at Ask than Bing.

Hate Bing.
[Windows Phone 7 General] 0711:
do you know if this is just a beta thing or is it a new "design guidline"?

i like bing but this behaviour sucks very hard :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] mikeeam:
It is a new feature at Mango. Like you said, a desing guideline. The good thing at is.. well, when you were at app you didn't know where the search button would take you. And I admit, that sucks. Sometimes you would go to Bing Search, and sometimes to internal app search.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
At least it is consistent. It was kind of dumb for the search button to have certain behaviors in native applications and for it to launch the bing application when done from a other apps.
[Windows Phone 7 General] voluptuary:
Transparent PNG wallpapers applied via email attachment no longer display properly. The transparent parts of the image are garbled. However when sliding up to unlock the image is displayed correctly.
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
There might be a new color value in the registry for the lockscreen background. I changed the start background color to full transparent one time playing with things & the background became all screwed up with the tiles repeating all over the place & animations ghosting in the bg.

Live Messenger option not shown

I have a Live Messenger friend but I get no "Chat" option under her contact profile. IM works fine over PC clients or if she sends me a message to my phone using her PC WLM. I can reply and it uses the WLM on Mango. It's just that I don't have a way to initiate a new WLM thread on her from my phone.

FWIW, she also has a WP7 Mango phone and has the same problem with my profile. It's like WP7 somehow thinks we are not WLM friends even though we are.

Anyone with similar problem?
[Windows Phone 7 General] TheBladeOfGrass:
Audiobook app doesn't play books anymore on my Focus. A message pops up saying something about a problem with Mango playing MP3 files with spaces in the name? When I rename and remove the spaces it says ensure that I'm not connected to Zune and restart the application. LindyAudio no longer works either. I assume because of the same bug.

Also another report of the transparent images repeating.
[Windows Phone 7 General] 0711:
yea its more consistent...but with the new behaviour i dont need the search button anymore, this is too bad and for me realy disapointing having a button which is nearby senseless on the phone

This can be one point for me to dont get another wp7 device :/
