[Windows Phone 7 General] vander09:
camera on video mode while listening to music on headphones makes the volume go loude

I have a HTC Mozart running WP7, today i was in a bus, and decided to record a

video of the nice landscape in view (note:im listening to music with my headphone). pulled the phone out of the pocket, camera button, and

when i switched the camera to video mode the volume of my music plaback goes off

for like less than a second and comes back a lot louder that before without me

changing the volume..

Did anyone experience this before?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Avandor:
HTC Trophy here with the same behaviour.
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
Indeed, the volume varies all the time.

This bug is already in the list in post #1.

For instance, if you listen to the FM radio and receive a call, then after the call the volume of FM radio will dramatically decrease. :(

The workaround is weird: take a picture with the camera, and the volume will increase and go back to normal level.

Hello! I'm new to wp7. And I've got an issue that might have been discussed before. I've searched but I didn't find anything related.

Mobile Office / Word:

I send an office 2007 word document from my office using mail and I receive it on my wp7 mobile device. I download the attachement and open it from the e-mail client.

The word mobile application opens the previous version of the word document! :eek:
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
True.

Added.
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
Indeed. It's already listed.

Whatever MS want to call it a design decision, it is a bug.

There is no sense not saving the camera settings.

If MS pretend it makes sense not to save the user's settings, I suggest MS to apply this clever rule to the rest of the phone: Why not a phone that DO NOT remember your live account, DO NOT remember the wallpaper you set, DO NOT remember the volume level, DO NOT remember the alarms you set, etc... Why limit it to the camera?
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
The bug in Word:

When I work on bigger Word files I often leave them open.

I mean I don't exit them with Back button but with Windows one, so after I come back to it it's preserved in the last state.

So the bug is after some time the file becomes unresponsive and you cannot SELECT more than one word. I exit, come back and all is ok.

Yah this is something they definitely need to fix asap. You should not need to reboot, or "battery pull" any modern phone.

On my Samsung Focus, while browsing anandtech.com anytime a large picture appears the browser freezes and when it unfreezes the text appears blurry, even zooming/unzooming does not fix it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] kainy:
I've encountered a problem after the "pre" update... I'm with my omnia 7 i've used the free Wifi in every subway station but after the uPdate i cant do that anymore... I'm now in my friends house and i cant connect to his secured wifi network like i've done before... Now the wifi networks are just pain to use/catch/hunt. Good thing that the phone connects with my secure wifi ...
[Windows Phone 7 General] mKTank:
Try forgetting them then reconnecting.

Sent from my Samsung Focus using Board Express
[Windows Phone 7 General] kainy:
Done that... Even hard reset the device and still nothing... This hapened the day after the update... It has to be something there :\
[Windows Phone 7 General] jakeunion:
focus

samsung focus freezes alot...ended up trading for captivate....-__-...back to captivate again
[Windows Phone 7 General] ajua:
I don't know if someone has mentioned this, but it is annoying that after doing a hard reset the phone will automatically list or install apps that you previously had even if they were uninstalled. You need to have a Live ID linked to the phone of course.

I saw some apps in the app list that were uninstalled some time ago. However, I forgot to try and see if the apps were installed or just were being shown in the list. I quickly hold the app and select uninstall as I was trying to configure everything in a hurry.
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
did you insert your own microSD card? if so, it was most likely that microSD card which was causing the issues, not the phone itself. You could have asked around and looked on the forum and you would have seen that a lot of those sorts of issues are related to people using their own microSD cards thinking that it will help expand the memory, which is true, but it can also cause a lot of issues.

this is because Zune reinstalls all the apps that you installed to the phone via zune, regardless of if you uninstalled it from the phone already. if you install the apps via the phone and then do a hard reset, the apps won't be reinstalled. it's a weird situation, but that's the current behaviour and hopefully MS adjusts it to be a bit more logical. I'm not sure if MS considers this a bug or a feature but i'm guessing in their initial testing of all this they didn't consider the long term of mucking around with apps and not wanting them anymore.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tfouto:
What's the point of this thread? Is MS gonna read this? Or its just for users to be aware of the wp7 bugs? Why not posting on Microsoft Anwsers instead?
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
probably so that we are aware more than anything. though i believe once the nodo update roles out, all of these pinned threads should be unpinned, and an accumulative of what is missing should be relisted in a new thread.

and actually i think MS takes their information from quite a few places, not just their own answers site, as they probably are aware that sites like XDA exists and a lot of solid developers spend more time here than on answers.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Found another bug. The download speed is horrifically slow even with 3Mb WiFi. My normal download speed is around 2500Kb/s on my HD2 and PC. But on my HD7, and according to Speedtest, it is under 300Kb/s. I was wondering why the Market was running so slow and now I know.

Bug with the live tiles ...

After leaving the home screen for exactly 30 seconds the live tiles stop working just stay still and don't move, when you touch the screen the tiles start moving again but again after 30 seconds they stop.

Birthday of contacts is offset by one day.
[Windows Phone 7 General] munkeyphyst:
I know this is listed in the 1st post, but after reading all 43 pages, I don't see who else has had this problem, or if there is a solution to it.

My Focus has recently decided that it won't sync my videos to the computer.

It definitely worked before, but now i get the Video Sync: Error message when syncing a video from the phone to the collection "An unknown error occured. Error Code C00D11CD"

As per the web help link in the error message, I performed all the windows updates, uninstalled Zune, reinstalled Zune, and still the same issue.

I have videos from my daughter’s recital on my phone and no way of getting them anywhere else. I can't select them as attachments, as they don't show up in the menu. If I hold on the videos and wait for the popup menu, it only offers to delete the file, no send or upload to sky drive.

Is there a solution to this? I am going to try to do the registry hack on my home pc to get my focus to show up in File Explorer and see if I can extract that way. I would really hate to lose these videos...

Any input from others here?
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
Munkeyphyst,

Did you also ask the question on the Microsoft Answer forum?
[Windows Phone 7 General] munkeyphyst:
I did not, but I did search through their many posts and saw several referring to a similar inability to transfer the video files with some suggestions to fix the problem. These suggestions had intermittent success by those experiencing the problem. I had already restarted both the Focus and my PC several times, updated my PC with all the updates, and uninstalled and reinstalled ZUNE, forgotten my device and re-connected my device, but I still cannot move these particular video files.

I did the registry edit to make the Focus show up in File Explorer, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=918451, and I can indeed see the Focus and add files to an area labeled "storage" on the Focus, but I don't have access to the files stored by Zune... argh...

I was hoping that since the bug was listed in this thread, that maybe it was discussed somewhere within the thread, possibly with a cool xda discovered work around or fix. It isn't.
[Windows Phone 7 General] cpimentel:
Have you checked if the video encoding is compatible with the device?

Some video encoding Zune can't convert, so you cannot tranfer it to the device.
[Windows Phone 7 General] munkeyphyst:
It's video I shot using my phone. It is encoded by my phone. Maybe I'm wrong to assume that video shot on my phone would be encoded in a way that ZUNE can transfer it to my PC? idk. this is very frustrating...
[Windows Phone 7 General] cpimentel:
Should work for sure. Sorry I cannot help you =( I know it is frustrating.

Try reach the Zune support through twitter. They usually are very helpfull.
[Windows Phone 7 General] munkeyphyst:
OK, found the problem. ZUNE selected as the folder for my video sync an external HD that is currently switched off. (it's where I keep all my dvd rip files) I changed that file location in ZUNE to the local HD and transfer began immediately...

So, problem solved, but quite aggravating that ZUNE gave no indication that drive unavailable was the issue.

BUG: Daylight Savings Time/Alarm Clock

On Saturday evening (we (North America) were still on Standard Time), I set my alarm for 7:00 am. During the night, the OS (WP7) correctly changed the clock to Daylight Savings Time. But the alarm rang at 8:00 am, even though it still said 7:00 am. So, this tells me that the alarm is locked into the time when it was set.

Fortunately, we were not late for my daughters ski race because I had a normal alarm clock, and my WM6.5 phone's alarm clock set. The WM6.5 phone worked as expected (updated the time to DST, and rang at 7:00 am DST)
[Windows Phone 7 General] tfouto:
3 bugs/design problems

- Inability to share a url on facebook on IE.

- Notifications History. Android system of notifications is Way better. Lots of notifications just go lost. There's a design fault on wp7 system. Some apps have live tiles, and could work as workaround of notifications history, but if the app is not on the tile front page, (its impossible to have all apps on initial page) then the notifications just get lost. That's not glance and go at all. Is glance and miss.

- Add facebook events&birthdays to wp7 calendar.
[Windows Phone 7 General] fwals:
the camera app won't save its settings..it's ok???
[Windows Phone 7 General] Avandor:
According to Microsoft, that's working as intended... but also possible to change if they see a large customer base asking for it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
No, it's not. Almost all users have already complained a lot about this issue.

I suppose MS are not totally stupid, therefore they will probably not keep on saying this design non-sense is on purpose.

If most users are unhappy it means that there is something wrong with this design decision. So, if they can listen to their customers, they will solve the problem. Anyway, it is still listed as a bug (whatever MS say).
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
Today I discovered a massive Calendar bug.

As simple as that - items disappear from the calendar. Precisely all of them before 6th of Feb. The later ones are OK.

But it's even more strange, because when I make a new appointment in 1st of January, all of the sudden all the invisible items appear there!!! Just to disappear when I leave the app and come back to it.

This is is ridiculous. Anybody seen this?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Avandor:
Nope... have a huge number of appointments before Feb 6th, going as far as the previous year.

PS

: just checked with a mate here at the office and his calendar is fine too. Mine is Hotmail & Exchange, his is only Hotmail.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
Thanks. I just looked in my Outlook and there I see many more Calendar events before 6th of Feb. But these were deleted from the device.

Some of them are not shown on my phone though I never deleted them. I start to think this cloud is crap sometimes.

Is there any Hotmail setting regarding calendar? What can be done about it?

It's totally not reliable.
[Windows Phone 7 General] :
So I read all the bugs but I was wondering what build or rom has taken care of the majority of the bugs and works as well as rafdroid in comparison? Is Windows Phone 7 capable of opening our old windows mobile .cab files? Like CorePlayer for instance? What's the deal on 720p video recording?
[Windows Phone 7 General] ruscik:
Sprawdz w telefonie ustawienia konta hotmail i zobacz ile do tylu ma sciagac maile. Ja mialem cos podobnego gdy mialem maile na 1 miesiac do tylu. Gdy zmienilem na wszystkie wrocilo do normy.

I had similar issue when I had my e-mail download in hotmail set to 1 month back as the oldest.

I changed it to any time and all back to normal. Maybe hotmail does not seperate those options?

Read more then as there is no deal with 720p it is just there and was from start.

Defo read more about cabs.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
Thanks but my hotmail is set for "any time" from the beginning.

Now I have set the one Calendar event for 1st of Feb and it's still there..

I have no idea but there's certainly a bug there.

P.S. Just checked my hotmail and it looks like I have very many items from over the last year, so again the number of items could be the issue.
[Windows Phone 7 General] cohowap:
I spent a few hrs going over alot of these bugs on the HTC Arrive, I didn't find/reproduce many of them at all.

The Arrive is on NoDo, so I wanted to know are all you guys still pre-Nodo?
[Windows Phone 7 General] hamzie:
Is the usb charging thing fixed with nodo
[Windows Phone 7 General] pikacz:
my mozart normally charges when i connect it to pc, and i haven't installed nodo yet (i have it available but am going to check the feedback first)
[Windows Phone 7 General] banvetor:
It would be nice if people with the NoDo update start checking this list to see what's been corrected and what hasn't...

Of course, in the case of specific bugs that don't affect 100% of the users, only the original user with the bug can check this... ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
Indeed,

The list in post #1 surely needs to be updated based on the bugs solved since the NoDo update.

I did not receive the update yet unfortunately.

Any help/info from users who update would be cool. Thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Loosenuts:
Only bug I see so far with my t-mobile HD7 is once in awhile the lockscreen will flicker green as it is timing out.

This doesn't seem to affect the performance of the phone but sure does make me worry there may be an issue with this build.
[Windows Phone 7 General] banvetor:
OK, just installed the update, and although Marketplace is MUCH faster (and of course there is copy & paste), here is a (very) quick rundown from the original list:

BUGS

MARKETPLACE

* Pressing the back button on an app’s details page takes the user back to the beginning of the list, who then have to scroll down again to where he was --> still there, happened to me once already (in 5min of use...)

IE BROWSER

* Bug when editing a Favorite: If you edit a favorite, and the change is limited to changing the case of the favorite but not the actual words (for example, changing Engadget to engadget), then you get an error with inaccurate details that states: "Your phone doesn't have enough memory to save this favorite. Free up space by deleting some files or apps and try again." http://social.answers.microsoft.com/...6-75ab1812828b --> still there

MISSING FEATURES / DESIGN INCONSISTENCIES:

* zune: No local search in Zune. The search function will only look into the Marketplace and not even browse into your own music collection if you search for a specific song, --> NOT SOLVED

* Camera settings are not saved --> NOT SOLVED

* Camera-shutter sound will remain enabled even when phone is on vibrate --> NOT SOLVED

:(
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
That's bad.

thanks for the feedback.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MagicXB:
I do not experience the same outcome with your first listed bug in regards to the Marketplace. If I hit the back button on an app's details page, it DOES take me back to the place that I was at on the app list. Everything else that you listed I agree with, however.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
For me it's kind of random. Sometimes it takes me back to where I have been, some times it takes me back to the very beginning of the list. I'm on NoDo.
[Windows Phone 7 General] pikacz:
yep, me too.

guys, i have nodo available but still haven't updated, cause i wanted to check the feedback first. it's quite good, so i think i'll do that today, or are there any problems?
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
Ok, I now have the NoDo update on my device...

Actually almost 100% of the bugs listed in Post #1 are still here

:

embedded image in emails not downloading, no camera settings saved, favorites in IE, etc, etc, etc....

What did MS do during all this time? I wonder.
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
I just discovered that, even after the NoDo update, the Marketplace search still mixes Music with Applications.

Is it normal.

I thought at least this problem was solved? Isn't it?
[Windows Phone 7 General] yfbc:
Missing Features

Zune: no app management

Zune: no calender/contacts backup/management

General WP7: cant manually add e-books for Kindle (can no longer side load with NoDo)

General WP7: no DLNA on non LG devices

General WP7: no SSH access/no remote desktop functionality

e-mail: no set as junk/not junk

e-mail: no empty junk folder

IE: no username/password control
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
It is solved. Start the marketplace, go to "applications" and hit the search button. It will only be searched for apps then. Same goes for the other categories.
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
No, not working on my device with the NoDo update.

If I start the Marketplace, go to Applications and hit the search button I

STILL

have apps mixed with Artists and music.

How can it be ?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tim.Smith:
Only two possibilities:

1) You're not on NoDo.

2) User error.

Go to the about on your phone, what is your version number? Can you copy and paste?
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
F.... I am not in NoDo, I am indeed in pre-NoDo only...

Can't believe it/ The update Orange agreed to delivered yesterday is only the pre-NoDo update (how I hate carriers !)

It was so late I thought it was NoDo..... :(
[Windows Phone 7 General] freaksey:
Is the wp7 development team stupid? They said they will check if there is an better option than always resetting your camera settings.

Just put a freaking checkbox in the settings which let us chose if we want them reseted or not!

I hate this... Everytime I want to make a video I have to set the resolution to HD! This is pretty annoying! Why would i want to record a video in VGA resolution???

Sorry for being rude but if i would not be able to fix such a bug within a day i would be the clown of the whole company =/
[Windows Phone 7 General] Avandor:
They don't call it a bug. It was a... "design decision".
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
Who cares about how MS call it.

Customers decide. And almost all customers call it a bug, which it obviously is, and almost all customers find it pretty annoying.

So it shall have been fixed already.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tfouto:
Hi, this issue

"* Pictures assigned to Live Tiles (people, pictures, etc) are very low resolution pictures", is due to Google contacts photos...

I have strange bug:

After going into Flight (Airplane) mode, the device won't turn it off and I need to reboot to be able to make calls again. WiFi and Bluetooth can be turned on separately.

Tested on:

HTC Mozart (no update)

HTC HD7 (February update)
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
If you want them to take you seriously, then it should matter to you what they call it. In the software development industry, a "bug" is a program behavior that is inconsistent with the intent and design of the developer. A "design flaw" is a program behavior that, although working the way the developer planned, inadvertently causes frustration and/or annoyance for users, or makes the software unusable for its intended purpose.

In this case (and, in fact, in the case of the majority of the possible "bugs" listed in this thread) it is a design flaw. It works exactly they way they wanted it to. It was just stupid of them to think that this behavior was in any way a good idea. A "Save as default settings" check box option would have accommodated both sets of users.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mitchellvii:
Ok, here's my gripe.

I just bought the new HTC Arrive today basically to try W7 out and see if I like it. One thing I really did like was the ability to link attendees to Calendar Events (something you sadly cannot do in Android).

However, much to my consternation, when I click on an address in an attendee's record, instead of opening a Navigator, it opens WRITTEN FRICKIN DIRECTIONS! Excuse me MS, but do you REALLY want me to get in a major accident as I try to READ WRITTEN DIRECTIONS while I drive? SERIOUSLY? No verbal turn-by-turn? Really?

Now, granted, I am brand new to this and perhaps there is some trick to link some sort of Navigator to addresses in People, but it is not apparent at first blush. Anyone who can share one with me will be on my short list of persons I love and respect.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tonyb81:
Have a Samsung focus, sometimes when I browse a webpage I've already visited, it will not load the most current Info on the page. Like I'll go to Engadget and the leading news story will be hours old then i have to refresh to get the most current info.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doejohn531:
Does it only do that when that was the last page visited?

When I visit a website, like Engadget, then close Internet Explorer (by hitting the windows button) do something else then later come back to Internet Explorer it will look like the page is being refreshed, but it actually isn't it's just being resumed.

When that happens you do have to refresh the page to get the latest stories. However, when I browse to a page with Internet Explorer already open, (for example I am browsing Joystiq and then go to Engadget) it always seems to load the latest page for me.

Just a thought.

I am using a HTC Surround.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tonyb81:
I tried your theory and that's not what's happening. As an example just a few minutes ago I went to Engadget and tha top story was at 8:12 I browsed around to other sites and tapped the windows button to exit. I went back to the browser and went to some other sites then went back to Engadget and the top story was at 3:12pm....i refreshed and the lead story went back to 8:12pm.
