I tried this to see if I'd get the same result as you. I didn't, but perhaps b/c I'm on a CDMA service the bug acted differently b/c I think I had some weird bug where my reception completely crapped out on me at my house and I 99% of the time have no problems with reception. I mean, my phone literally went off the network and when I tried to change the prl it actually went into airplane mode.

retrieving contacts when dialing from number pad

this is perhaps a bug/design inconsistency.

when you open the number pad to make a call as you type the number you'd expect a list of matching contacts to be displayed. even though this doesn't happen you would think if you clicked search it would go to search your contacts but instead it just opens bing search and searches the web. i know before you go to the number pad there is the option to go to People Hub from there but still once you're at the number pad it would still be good to be able to retrieve contacts easily.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tfouto:
there is a way i tend to use and its fast, its not smart dial up, but. When you press the phone tile, it will go to call history. If you press there the search button and start to type a name it will start to filter the available names on call history, then you can press the little phone icon on left and

it starts to dial the number. This is a fast way. It only displays the history contacts but 95% of people i want to call i already have on call history.

If you want to call a number that its not on history you have to go to traditional way. But next time it will be available.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Omega Ra:
this is a known thing and has been known for quite some time. hopefully after MIX and they open up some API's that can be remedied. Should have researched first if that was a must have for you.

have same problem on optimus 7 but how i work around it is by just tapping the engadget logo and it loads the newest info.. or on winrumours i would tap the winrumours logo...etc
[Windows Phone 7 General] voluptuary:
In the Zune Player if you pick a single track from the recent list and it is set to random and repeat it will stop after each play through of the song until another sound is played, like for example you get a text, then it will play the song again.

I don't have this problem, I also know all my USB ports on all my PC's are USB 2.0 or better so... is everyone who is having this problem sure they aren't using USB 1.0-1.1?
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
It's a bug - confirmed by Microsoft.

http://windowsphonesecrets.com/2011...es-un-pinning-and-linked-contacts-de-linking/
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
I read the link you mention above. Honestly I don't see where it says it's google's fault??

On the contrary several users explain that pictures assigned to contact have low resolution when

they pick a picture from their gallery

(and therefore taken by the phone's camera). What Google has to do with this?

But I will add your link above in the first post.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
The link you posted has nothing to do with the "bug" that is claimed. The link confirms that in some cases, manually linked contacts get de-linked, and that in some cases, contact live tiles disappear.

The question here is whether it is really a bug that contacts are automatically linked between Facebook and other email accounts.. As far as I understand it, that isn't a bug, but an intended feature. Whether or not it's a good idea is another story...
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
Ok, thanks for the clarification. However I could hardly imagine that having some contact live tiles suddenly disappearing by themselves could not be considered as a bug.

Anyway I will move it to the 'design inconsistencies' section.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tfouto:
yes, but they have the google contacts... when they upload-sync with the cloud, google downsize the photo. You can make an experience. A hotmail contacts accounts and a google contacts accounts with the same photo. Its google contacts that downsize the resolution of the photos...

Zune music videos bug

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet.

Music videos in the Zune software are listed randomly in no order whatsoever... instead of being arranged by song title like in the Zune HD software.

Also, "swiping" from one album to the next is a bit "jerky" instead of transitioning smoothly.

looks like the same for me too. HTC Arrive.
[Windows Phone 7 General] kiwicasperguy:
I've experienced the Connectivity Bug, and still do.

Wifi seems to go to sleep, will not reconnect unless I restart the Modem / Router. Does it every time. I have an LG Optimus Q7 ( which I think in the USA is the LG Qauntum). Otherwise this phone rocks. The problem still exist and I can reconnect . as i said, if I restart the router, but its a PITA. I'm sure it will be addressed, but I don't know if its a Winpho 7 problem or an LG problem. I'm sure it will be fixed, Keep the Faith.

Cheers, Bill

Super AMOLED screens have always been like this. It's just how they work. The 16bit banding bug only affects HTC phones after the HTC update.

No Bluetooth File Transfers

No decent File Explorer
[Windows Phone 7 General] fishbowlhead:
What with the amount of time its taken MS to get the first tiny update out the door, and with this massive list of bugs, can anyone see the OS ever getting ironed out. I mean itle take MS about 60 years to clear that list up if there current release schedule is anything to go by.

Not trying to be a troll as im quite a fan of the whole design and speed of the os, but some clarification on when the next update would be helpful.
[Windows Phone 7 General] banvetor:
Just today at MIX11 Microsoft announced that the next update (Mango) should arrive by fall, which should include multi-tasking and the necessary APIs to run Skype!

Before that I think they already stated that the update interval would be more or less 6 months... let's see if this holds true.

Anyway I agree that some of these bugs are annoying and could be fixed sooner... maybe not only the bugs, but mostly some weird design inconsistencies that could be left for the user to decide!
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
I also hope some more flexibility and openness.

WP7 is currently too much locked down, too much like an iPhone.

This is what makes Android still more desirable than WP7. Once Microsoft will solve this problem, WP7 will be almost perfect.
[Windows Phone 7 General] fishbowlhead:
Just seen that and it doesn't fill one with confidence does it? maybe in the fall at the earliest. Also ive noticed that the updates are being released to the carriers first, seems a disastrous move to be honest as the carriers couldn't care less about updating, i thought ms were going the apple route for updates to stop all of that?

Surely with MS resources they could get these updates out on a monthly basis quite easily?
[Windows Phone 7 General] gkoonjul:
i also wonder about guys like Mel sampat who left Microsoft to work on his own apps because the windows mobile platform was all set to welcome developers by the masses. Anyone know what he's up to now?

CAMERA

* Setting are not saved.[STILL HERE after the NoDo update]

This one was partially fixed. Anti-Shaking is now ON by Default when you open the camera. It is now truly a point and shoot camera.

Still would like to see the ability of saving all settings, but this is a nice start.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
Is this anti shaking feature Samsung specific or am I just too blind to see it on my HD7?
[Windows Phone 7 General] SuperSport:
You could be absolutely right. I do believe it was a Samsung Specific update. Which would make it a Non-NoDo update. I stand corrected, sorry... :o

To verify, go to your camera settings. It's the Last option in my settings list on my Focus.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
I just checked. HD7 doesn't have it. Shame. Thanks for the information though. :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] banvetor:
Indeed it was reported to be a Focus firmware update, not a NoDo feature (http://www.wpcentral.com/new-features-focus-firmware-update)

My LG Optimus 7 has the "anti-shake feature" also, but it is still off by default... :mad:
[Windows Phone 7 General] SuperSport:
That's truly unfortunate. Without being turned on, my photos almost always were blurry. Now, the Focus is truly point and shoot, and only 4 Seconds to a usable camera straight from my pocket. I hope you get the update soon.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Disinto:
Exactly, you can instantly tell the difference with and without the option...

I wonder why a firmware update is needed though. Can't we just tweak the registry for that?
[Windows Phone 7 General] SuperSport:
I thought the same thing and even spent a couple evenings looking through the reg, but never could find it. Hopefully, I missed it and someone else will have more luck than I did.
[Windows Phone 7 General] valaris:
Anyone have an issue with the LG Optimus 7 where the clock will randomly jump forward 20-30 minutes? It happens to me about once a week.
[Windows Phone 7 General] chiasottis:
On my LG Optimus 7 it's still off by default and needs to be reactivated every time you open the camera.
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
Yes,

Exactly the same happened to me.

I have the LG Optimus 7 also

I disabled the automatic time set in the Settings.
[Windows Phone 7 General] munkeyphyst:
My wife's focus and mine do not have the same time. Both are set to auto update. They are off by about 45 seconds from each other. Annoying.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
I expect this thread will have slowed way down since NoDo. I had a lot of bugs with WP7 prior to NoDo. Now there are none that I've seen so far.
[Windows Phone 7 General] SuperSport:
All I can assume is that one of them came off the assembly line sooner than the other. :p
[Windows Phone 7 General] valaris:
Weird. Now it not only jumped 20 minutes but 2 days ahead as well. This time it was set to not auto set time. So odd.
[Windows Phone 7 General] munkeyphyst:
Weird indeed.
[Windows Phone 7 General] valaris:
and now it just rolled back to yesterday. What is going on with my phone!?
[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
No idea. Never had any issues with time/date, and yours seems pretty bad. Can try to do a full reset, but I would personally take the phone back and get it replaced.
[Windows Phone 7 General] itsraining2008:
mine is hTC Mozart. When enable airplane mode and lock the screen(without back/windows key) for a while, I can't enable nor disable airplane mode again.

Only reboot solve the problem. Did you guys have the problem like me.

P.s. don't know somebody else have been post or not. Sorry for my poor english too :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] pr5owner:
somethings missing from the list

WPA2 Enterprise AP's sometimes needs certificates (or the option to ignore certificates)

WP7 has no options for anything wifi and is completely useless in a corporate environment

hidden network is still not working, HTC released a useless app that does nothing on my TMO HD7, all it does is crash.

seriously MS, stop dicking around and add some wifi functionality

Exchange support, WTF is this crap?

WM6.5 included tasks, notes and SMS Sync with exchange servers, WP7 has none of this, as of now, no phones can make use of those 3 features for exchange 2010, this is your own phone and you dont support other products in which this phone was supposed to work with.

Lync client? you have got to be kidding me if blackberry gets support before you people do.

i guess i shouldnt be suprised since there is no proper msn client either, the official third party client is a piece of ****

still, after half a year i cant load ring tones (already said but this is ridiculous)

i paid $600 for this crap phone with a garbage LCD and i get no support for basic things, im going to android once the SGS2 comes to canada.

if you see my sig ive been with WM products for a long time (and ive seriously flashed over 1000 roms), but i guess all things come to an end eventually
[Windows Phone 7 General] SuperSport:
While I do understand your frustration with not having robust Exchange Support, I don't really think MS was aiming at the Corporate Market when they first released WP7. From all the TV Commercials I've seen, it appears they were trying to market to a busy lifestyle. "Look and Go" while at your kids games, or just before having sex, etc... :eek:

Also remember this is only v1 of this Brand New OS. iPhone didn't have proper Exchange Support at the beginning either, nor did Android. This thing is still in it's infancy, and it appears it's headed in a proper direction.

The reason a lot of features were not available at first is because they locked down the system, which prevented a LOT of apps from doing what people wanted. I think that was a smart play on their part. They needed to release a Solid, Stable OS that just Worked! I have yet to have my phone crash or reboot without me wanting it to (without SD Card installed), and I bought it almost at first release. Of course there's the SD Card issues for some, but again not on my phone (after getting a supported card), and I do stress my phones a LOT! After they have confirmed a strong, working platform, they can open it up a bit at a time and see what works and what does not. No matter how much testing they do in labs, that is no replacement for real world useage, as they found out with the SD Cards and Updates. But, they will learn from those issues and adjust, just as Apple and Android have.

I too have flashed thousands of times, and have cooked many ROMs, and I look forward to doing the same on my WP7's, but that all comes in due time.

My personal oppinion after watching where this is headed is that a little patience will go a long ways, and we will all be pleasantly surprised at how open and at the same time locked down this OS will be. I think for the masses, it needs some locking down, but us DEVs will also be allowed to tweak to our hearts content. (Remember Windows Mobile)

I'm sure you will enjoy your Android phone, as it's a great choice, but I also bet you will be back to play with WP7+ as it matures. ;)

PS: I'm a fan, not a fanboy. I too am frustrated with lack of Backups, proper Outlook Support, etc, but from what I've seen, they will likely be coming shortly. Well, ok, someday.

first upate on zune

I dont know if i am the first one to run into this because i didnt see this problem anywhere. but after i got my WP7 working and i tried to intsall the first update, it worked just fine untill the last stage of the update, then i got error code 80181148. not to mention i only had 150 mb of space on my phone. i already read that alot of people ran into problems when it comes to space. my question is, am i running into this update problem because of the fact that i have so little space? or is it something else? any help would be appreciated, thank you.
[Windows Phone 7 General] munkeyphyst:
yes. Lighten your installed items prior to the first update

Today my Optimus 7 changed the date and time by itself once again. :mad:

What's wrong ?!!!

And "Automatic time setting" was disabled.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mrmoo:
i had windows mobile (ce) handsets since a vintage late 90's HP with dial up pcmia model and it took ms 15 years (wm 6.5) to get an option to select all emails to mark as read ... we finally get it in wm6.5 ... and in phone 7 ms goes back to the 90's again and omits it (unless im missing smthg) ... ggggrrrrrrrr

for me this is the top annoyance ...when ms all you need is an "All" tickbox at the top on the multiselect screen ... theres even a gap for it !
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
That's definitely missing, yeah. I'd love to see that too. Goes for deletion as well.
[Windows Phone 7 General] StubbornMinion:
Hi everyone,

I wanted to ask a question re a bug that's registered here.

My LG Optimus 7 does, constantly, change the time and date. However, the way the bug is phrased - "TIME AND DATE CHANGE BY THEMSELVES (EVEN WHEN AUTOMATIC SETTING IS DISABLED)" - may suggest that although the time changes by itself when it shouldn't, it nonetheless changes to the correct time.

That's not my issue. My issue is that it will change to a random date and time that is incorrect. It usually happens when I'm listening to music. Indeed, at the moment it seems to happen every time. I'll be walking along at 3pm on a Wednesday, and then find that my clock now thinks it's 1am next Sunday. There is usually a pause in the music that gives away that something has happened.

Is that how it is for everyone else? And is it only the LG Optimus 7 or all phones?

I also have the random restarting. Often this happens overnight, meaning my alarm fails to go off. Once my 11am alarm went off at 11.44, weirdly, and I could see the phone had reset itself.

Also, with whom should I file a bug report? I really want to press MS / LG to get these two issues fixed, as they are quite severe.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ogdenous:
Bluetooth audio

better support for bluetooth audio
[Windows Phone 7 General] SuperSport:
Hehehe. I read your first post before being edited. I completely understand what you were saying.

Unfortunately, the bluetooth on WP7 is all or nothing. On other OSes you have the option to use only the headset part, or the stereo (A2DP) part, or both. Unfortunately, on some Car Bluetooth Systems, there is only the option to listen to the HeadSet, but not hear the Stereo Portion (A2DP) of the system. My Car Bluetooth is that way. All my system sounds are sent to bluetooth, but since my car is not currently wired to listen to the stereo part (A2DP) of my phone, the system sounds are muted.

If I use my HD2 with Android, I have the option to only play the HeadSet part to my car and leave the system sounds playing through my phone. Android seperates A2DP and HeadSet profiles.

I also HOPE Microsoft addresses this.

I now have the same issue with my Omnia 7 after doing a combo update (7390+7392).

This didn't happen before that.

Quite frustrating as I'm using my phone as an alarm clock. I'd hate being late at work because of that.
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
It happened again.

My LG Optimus changed the date and time by itself yesterday evening.

From 7:45 PM to 8:20 AM !!!!!!

Annoying and very unsafe when you use your phone as an Alarm clock.

MS, PLEASE FIX THIS.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Disinto:
Exactly. And then it also screws up the sorting of the SMS...
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
I would like to report this obvious bug to MS directly.

But I don't know the best way to report issues? Does someone know?

The "MS Answer" forum is a waste of time.
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
Regarding time and date changing by themselves, I opened a thread on the MS forum:

I am having trouble on my Htc Mozart with IE on a particular forum, logged out I have no problem but when I log in I cannot see the actual thread pages..all I can see is the reply button where the posts should be. The problem started a week ago I think some forum features have been updated but it works fine if I log out. The forum is inverts.com.au

Edit:No one else had this trouble? I am fairly certain it is wp7 specific as the website works fine on my laptop and PC. It must be something to do with a cookie I get when I log in. It is a vBulletin forum so I figured someone would have encountered this by now. Obviously this particular forum works fine for me I am using my phone now.
[Windows Phone 7 General] VizagDude:
I am not sure if this was already mentioned, but I did NOT see it in the list on the first post.

While playing Vidoe, the audio form that video is not routed via Bluetooth headset. This is basic function of BT when a device supports A2DP.

This is really frustrating and I was hoping this would be fixed with NoDo and apparantely NOT. Now I don't even see it as one of the features in Mango... How can you be so stupid MS??? Don't pull out features that are basic.
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
I am adding this bug to the list in post #1. thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
Please, also express your wishes or concern here:

[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
There is still hope. New features continue to be announced every week (such as the just-announced in-game purchase feature). I really hope this issue gets addressed in Mango (along with the host of other audio / volume profile issues).
[Windows Phone 7 General] StubbornMinion:
Can I point out that the phone restarting, which the post says has apparently been fixed since NoDo, has definitely NOT been fixed! Happens to me still, quite frequently.

Also, can I add to the list of missing features regarding email (specifically gmail, but I suspect it's an issue with other account types) that the email app will not allow you to reply from the same address to which the message was sent. There's an entry on windowsphone7community about it.

It's completely preventing me from using the email app, which is almost as serious as the time changing by itself. (As all my mail goes to gmail, but not using my gmail address. So I cannot reply to any of my emails without exposing my gmail address - which is not only undesirable for me, but also confusing for the receiver - or using the gmail web app in IE, which is a horrible experience.)
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
Indeed,

the bug still exist. Even after NoDo.

It even appears more and more often, especially on the Samsung Omnia 7.

Crazy that Microsoft did not fix this !

(I will edit Post 1)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Vytlne:
Help

Not sure if what you mean by restarting is shutting down and then restarting or hard resetting and losing all data. Because mine does the latter usually once a month or so. Its extremely annoying and pushing me back to wm6.5. Ive been losing data that I need and its quite frustrating. Any help would be appreciated or point me to a thread please.

I found the reason for this, It's the Vibrate settings.

If disable the vibrate, the issue will go away. HTC HD7. feels like some kind of racing condition.
