Does anyone know how to remove songs from your Bing Music list? I have the Zune Pass and when I get my songs on my PC, I would like to remove that song from my Bing Music history.

Thanks
[Windows Phone 7 General] Alcoholic:
It works but is really slow.

Bing music only searches the Zune catalog that is why some albums are different. It's cause Zune does not have the album, only that compilation.

The reason why services like shaman and sound hound are still going to be massively used is due to the size of their libraries from which they get results. It means you can accurately recognize more tracks with them. Zune is still missing a ton of albums and it's very apparent when you venture outside of the form genres like pop r&b and rock to things like classical music and opera.

In search accuracy > speed, but ideally you want both (that's how google gained prominence).
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
Settings > applications > search > delete history

I never use Bing music myself, Shazam and SoundHound are more effective and both pinned to my homescreen.

Ever since I used Bing music I rarely goto the others. Its identified everything I put it against. Even the telenovela songs

Depends where you are how well it works it seems. But its great to have all those tools in one place for me. All three of the tools on the bing page are very useful to me. Works great for me here in the US, but luckily there is soundhound and shazam as well for those it doesn't work well for.

I have an LG Quantum and after the Mango update I don't receive email for my Hotmail accounts and I can no loner delete email from the Exchange server for my Exchange account. I have deleted and re-added all email accounts multiple times and have reset the phone twice - still the exact same problems.

I found the following thread here...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=935605

Would using those instructions to flash back work because the phone is useless to me now.

Thanks,

Sandy
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derausgewanderte:
that is bizarre. Sounds like a certificate issue. You tried a complete cold boot (hard reset in Settings, About, reset your phone)? and it's still not working? Can't imagine what an original rom would do better than that. If you look further down the thread you found with the roms, there seems to be a NoDo rom as well.

Did you try to restore back to NoDo? when you upgraded to Mango the install process should have created a NoDo restore. Open Zune client, connect phone via USB and check Settings/Phone/Update. there should be a restore option at the bottom (Must be the same PC and same user account you used to upgrade to Mango).

There is some good info in this thread here about the same issues others had. At least somebody found a solution for Exchange server sync that may work for you.

Somebody here had the same problem with hotmail accounts. Even after hard resetting etc. He and somebody else were able to fix this by adding a twitter account (just a dummy one). Once twitter was added it fixed all hotmail problems. Note that they had this problem on 7712, however it sounds very similar to your problem. It also shows that a hard reset of rom flash will likely not help at all because it is some kind of certificate error or similar.

I would think that reflashing the phone would not be any different than hard resetting your phone. I strongly believe that the problem is someplace else as seen in the other posts above.

Good luck and hopefully it is something simple.

Thanks so much for your reply!

I just spent over an hour on the phone with AT&T who referred me to LG who told me to contact Microsoft. And we all know you can't contact Microsoft. Thus I got nowhere which is what I thought would happen but wanted to try anyway.

if you think flashing won't right this then I won't do it. What is interesting with my problem is there are no error messages - you just won't receive some email for Hotmail unless you manually hit the sync key (even though I have set it to deliver "as items arrive") - but other times you will. I spent a great deal of time today with my Exchange provider who is telling me others who have upgraded to Mango are having no problems. Thus no help from them either. I spent $500 for this phone right when it came out... and if it can't successfully and reliably handle email, and it's less than a year old - well I have no words for that.

I have seen the link about the tasks affecting Exchange and tried that but it didn't work - although their problem had an error message mine is not giving me. Adding a Twitter account is something I had not seen - who knows??? I am very frustrated at this point and would try anything..

Thanks so much for taking the time to reply!!

I am sure you probably checked this already. if you go into settings and swipe over to applications and go to people at the bottom is accounts. when you tap on windows live or other accounts you should see sync settings, e.g. content to sync (email). At top of the same page you see how often it pulls data.

for my hotmail account the server listed is m.hotmail.com

make sure those settings make sense.

ATT or LG will not be able to help you with this and I wouldn't hold it against them. I believe this is related to a sync/server hiccup. With a hard reset you create a the windowslive account fresh, so I do not believe it's anything on the device. I would try to change the password on my hotmail or windowslive account, so that the server has to re-establish/refresh user credentials.

edit: make sure you report about your outcome. hopefully a good one.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Sand:
I didn't think AT&T or LG would be able to help - to get me to call them means I am reaching the end of what I can think up to throw at this. They do what the can, this just beyond what they would know.

All my Hotmails are m.hotmail.com for the EAS. My settings all make sense - but your idea of trying to reset the password is a good one. I will give that a shot.

My main man at Exchange is back tomorrow (he was out today) if anybody can help me he can. He in in charge of the mobile division - he is really nice and doesn't give up easily. Hopefully working with him tomorrow can deliver some kind of answer to this.

Once again, thanks for your patience and time:)

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Sand:
Ready for what the Exchange problem turned out to be??? When deleting I use the check boxes on WP7. When you hit just to the left of an email, check boxes appear, and I selected what I want deleted and hit the trash can at the bottom. Then I would hit sync. That doesn't work for my Exchange account anymore, thus my email was still sitting on the server. You have to push down on the email message and delete using the pop up menu. Then it deletes the email off the server... I have still been able to use the check boxes for my Hotmail account from WP7 to delete from server.

I am still dealing with how to get my Hotmail email off the server using Outlook as the "Remove from server when deleted from 'deleted items'" no longer works. Which forces POP3 users into the Hotmail Connector. I am going to work with that today to see if I can use it but configure it to not sync my calendar/contacts and certain email folders that I do not want on Hotmail's server. If you use Yahoo I guess you are just out of luck now...

So some of this is solved...

Sandy
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derausgewanderte:
I knew there were checkmarks, never used them. I always highlight an email or thread and delete. But I also never paid attention whether they are deleted from the server. My Outlook at home fetches the same emails and it deletes emails after two weeks anyway.

Have you tried to create a dummy hotmail account to test the problems you have with your current?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Sand:
How I delete (whether check mark or holding for the pop up menu) didn't work this afternoon. I worked with the Exchange guy today and we thought we had it... but it happened again late today. I also have my Outlook set to delete the email but once I try to delete it from WP7, unless I log into OWA the email doesn't get deleted - so when I look at my Blackberry, or some other device, I see all these emails that should have been deleted if not by WP7, then by Outlook (If WP7 fails to delete I use Outlook). Right now I am restoring my system back to a month ago (I use Acronis so I have multiple image backups) to see if anything got corrupted in Outlook - just to rule it out.

So bummed because I thought I was in the clear.. (but to tell you the truth, I thought "how" I deleted seemed a little sketchy.)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derausgewanderte:
before you do your system restore, please make a backup of your NoDo restore point that was created when you upgraded to Mango.

The restore point is located here:

C:\Users\UserAccountName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update\g52e4324 - 19e00804 - 6918db00 - e64473cf

where the last gibberish is your phones device ID (and therefore different than the above).

That folder should have the date of your Mango upgrade. You can use this to roll back to before you upgraded to Mango using the Zune client. Just in case you find out it DOES have to do with the Mango upgrade and the problem is on the device.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Sand:
Thanks so much for passing that along. I went ahead and backed up the file you suggested. I have done a hard reset on my LG (2 actually) - if I take my computer back a month will the Zune client know the phone due to the hard reset? And if it doessn't, can I simply put that file back in place and "point" Zune to it to get a successful restore?

Once again thanks for all the help....
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derausgewanderte:
yes, after your restore, connect the phone to USB and let Zune recognize it. Zune should create a folder of the same file structure in the Phone Update directory if one isn't there already (probably your restore folder will have a pre NoDo restore point). Disconnect phone, close Zune and replace the one you just backed up with the one that is in there (best to delete old one and copy new one in to avoid mixup of files). When you open Zune and connect the phone and check settings/phone/update you should see a restore point with the date of your Mango upgrade. The directory structure should look identical to what it looks right now (in other words, you need to copy the entire device ID folder into the Windows Phone Update folder). Sorry for being wordy....
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Sand:
Great! Fantastic news! I will go ahead and restore the computer back to a month ago now... this will rule out Outlook causing any problem - narrowing down where the problem is.

I know I keep saying this, but thanks again for the help! :)

p.s. you are anything but "wordy" - have you looked at my stuff??? now that's wordy.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Sand:
I restored the computer back and things are better. As far as WP7 I can still tell that deleting by bringing up the pop up window on WP7 as opposed to the check marks is indeed a factor. The check marks don't work for conversations. Maybe the pop up windows takes the conversation an a "whole" and deletes it. It seems WP7 and Outlook 2010 and working together better - not flawlessly yet, but better.

Sometimes the Exchange server lags at night when you delete from Outlook so I will wait until morning for further testing. But I am feeling a litter better tonight about what I am seeing after the restore.

I can't thank you enough for your invaluable help! I have a Nokia N900 and have flashed it before - and tried to flash it backwards due to an upgrade issue, which wasn't so easy - so I know if can be difficult. I really appreciate your input that flashing wasn't really advisable for my situation. You spared me unnecessary work as well as giving instructions on saving my restore point for Zune. So I certainly owe you one!

I will post back what happens as well as what I am going to do about Hotmail not deleting from the server using Outlook anymore (even after the restore that option isn't working, so it's coming from Microsoft.)

See I told you I could be wordy ;)

p.s. I do have my restore point in Zune for Mango btw - I followed your instructions - killer!!

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Sand:
My email was a trainwreck today. WP7 will delete Exchange from the server but Outlook now won't. Exchange on WP7 isn't working in "real time" I have to hit the sync button to get it to refresh and tell me what email is on the server (I have "as items arrive" as my setting.)

On WP7 All 3 Hotmail accounts are unable to delete any email off the Hotmail server even though I have m.hotmail.com selected, which is like Exchange and should give me a direct reflection of Hotmail's server. All my email is sitting in Hotmail's inbox.

I am calling AT&T tomorrow to get another one as I am still under warranty. It will be refurbished which I don't like but I feel I have no other choice. I have gone in circles for over a week trying to solve this and can't.

I will post back how my next phone goes... if I have any of the same problems (hopefully I won't.)

Sandy
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derausgewanderte:
darn, before you return it have you considered to restore back to pre Mango? connect phone, open Zune and go to settings/phone/update. you should see a restore button that should take your phone back to the state before you upgraded to Mango.

I just tried the email deleting myself to make sure (more for myself) that this is not a feature. It works fine. When I delete an email from the phone and the phone syncs (set to every 30min), the email gets deleted from the server right then or when I manually sync.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Sand:
I decided to do just that... I think I will stick on "Life before Mango hell" for a little while. Watch everything delete from server just like it should for awhile. I didn't know how good I had it. Plus, when I talked to AT&T they said normally you won't get a refurbished phone for this type of problem. But I also said if you would like me to continue to pay you a large monthly smartphone family plan like I do ( I am not under contract, I buy my phones myself) then you better make sure I have something to play with.

But pre Mango I am running as stellar as before... Thanks for making sure I had that backup!

I will try to upgrade again, maybe next week - and see if it handles it better...

Sandy
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derausgewanderte:
glad the restore worked fine. so you were correct all along and it is indeed the device, wow.

Maybe there is a setting in NoDo that causes the partially failed upgrade. So here is one more suggestion. If the next Mango upgrade gives you the same problem then restore to NoDo (move the current backup you have to a safe place) and hard reset the phone in NoDo, and only then upgrade to Mango.

Good luck
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Sand:
Yes, I totally agree... A wiped device then upgrade to Mango.

I will let you know...

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Sand:
I did the roll back to NoDo - Hard reset - update to Mango. The update took twice as long even though there was nothing on the phone (weird.) My Hotmail accounts (which are EAS) are now syncing, but I am still having trouble with deleting from Server using Exchange even when I hold down to get the pop up box for delete (which does work better than the checkmarks.) I have to over ride with my Blackberry to get things off the server. I am seeing things on forums now regarding EAS not syncing for people, mostly contacts and calendar, but it's there. Thus we all have to wait for MS to issue an update that fixes this.

So we wait...

Sandy
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Sand:
I just checked and my Hotmail account didn't delete anything off the server - I hit sync and it's like it does nothing. So basically my all my EAS' are not working correctly, which means the phone has to go back to NoDo. I can't have every EAS account not working correctly.

sorry for the frustration. I hope this will get solved soon.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Sand:
It was difficult with AT&T because if they consider your problem a software failure they won't give you a refurbished phone. I have been dealing with the same guy who is tech knowledgeable and he wrote it in such a way I will get the refurbished.

I can see from your signature you run an LG Quantum which makes me feel better. AT&T did say I could try the refurbished and if it had the same issue to send it back and keep mine... then I would just wait until the next WP7 update hoping that would fix it. But again, since you are successfully running Mango on an LG Quantum I feel better - that hopefully mine just has some weird hardware issue and the next one will update successfully.

I certainly will let you know...

my wife and I both have the Quantum and (knock on wood) we never had any problems with it. I really hope the replacement will fix the problems.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Sand:
The refurbished LG Quantum AT&T sent me has the exact same problem:(

I tested the email first - before I fully set up the phone. Things looked pretty good for Exchange as well as all Hotmail accounts before I went to bed. Then I went to bed. And just like before - when I woke up there was email in all accounts, and when I deleted that email using WP7 it stayed in the Inbox of whatever server it belonged to. Just like my last LG Quantum. The entire rest of the day it synced nothing off any server.

I am back running NoDo which syncs flawlessly...

Sandy
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ROCOAFZ:
Odd, i haven't had any problems using push whatsoever with my surround in Mango. I also have hotmail and 3 other accounts linked to there own inbox (2 are pop). What version of exchange are you syncing too? If you go into settings, email and accounts and hold your finger on the account, press sync what does it do?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derausgewanderte:
so it's not the phone, it's Mango playing games with you :(. At this point I can only suggest to contact somebody at MS. I've found the AppHub forum helpful. I suggest you post your problem here.

Other things that come to mind: Are you experiencing this from anywhere? Is it possibly a router/firewall issue?

I know this may not make any sense, but you never know. In Germany we have the saying :" I've seen horses in a movie theatre throwing up".

good luck and I hope this doesn't turn you away from WP7 for good...I'd be pretty frustrated by now.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Sand:
The horses in the theatre is riotous!:D

And you are right to check router/firewall. I have wifi disabled on Mango. If it's enabled it interferes with the sync - even if it's not connected to my router.

I am on Exchange 2007. I emailed my Exchange people to ask what WP7 devices were being used successfully. All Sansumg Focus.

I am still under warranty with AT&T but they can only deliver me another Quantum. I was looking into buying something refurbished (like the Samsung or HTC) on AT&T's website - hoping this problem is only happening on the Quantum. AT&T has NO refurbished WP7's - only iPhones. Which is not right. They need to back the device by offering refurbished to those that lose/break their phones out of warranty which can and does happen. If you are running WP7 - you expect a WP7 refurbished - not an iPhone. I have contacted them about this lack of choice...

If I want to run Mango it's going to cost me. My only choice now is to buy from Amazon a Samsung or a HTC and hope this problem doesn't "follow" me. But at this point who knows.

I do have Microsoft's phone number (given to me by AT&T.) But I don't expect much. I think they move on to the newer devices...

Thanks for the link - I will check it out...

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Sand:
I actually tried updating my LG Quantum from another computer last night. Still the same problem. But I have figured out a work around (thank God!) You have to do it exactly this way or the messages will remain in the Inbox on the server no matter how many times you hit Sync.

When you want to delete messages don't - you have to "move" them to the trash. If you use the check mark way (easier for multiple messages) or push down on the message for the pop up menu - you want to select "Move" - then select the Deleted Items folder - now hit "sync" - this moves the messages on the server to the Deleted Items folder. Now hit Delete or Delete All - then hit sync again - this will remove them from the server. This method was the only way to get all my EAS email messages for both my Exchange account and my Hotmail accounts moved from the Inbox and the Sent Items folder on the server to the trash. Nothing else worked. And I mean nothing.

I am very grateful I didn't have to go buy another phone because I like my LG Quantum and WP7 - this work around, while a little tedious, is certainly doable.

Just passing along in case somebody else stumbles onto this problem...
