Yea, I've noticed this bug, too.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Hirnteri:
I can shut down (turn off) my htc mozart without unlocking...
[Windows Phone 7 General] warenbe:
same here: LG optimus 7

while on the lock screen i can shut off the phone

but, with the design of the LG, it will not happen: the small power on button is to small to be pushed in the pocket ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] heisven:
Same thing for my Mozart. Long press on the Shutdown Button, goodbye message, and screen off. No matter if screen locked or not.

But actually you have to press rather hard.. I'm not afraid that it's going to happen in my pant's bag.

But if you're a lot into rockabilly leather pants or very tight pants, well...

I love my baggypants :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
is this a bug or a feature???
[Windows Phone 7 General] Hirnteri:
My mozart turned off 10 times itself in my pants...

(bad english ^^)
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
buy a case??? :confused:
[Windows Phone 7 General] CR1M1N4L:
As for this one:

I've got official response by Microsoft via Twitter:

Not cool...
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
Thanks.

What do they have in mind?

It's maybe by design for them, but it's considered by most users as very annoying.

So let's consider this as a bug, obviously.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
whether we like a function or not, if it's working as written in code, I don't think that is a bug.

More like a feature we would like to add.

Hopefully in the update, we'll get a choice to save settings.
[Windows Phone 7 General] CR1M1N4L:
I guess they made it by design to avoid problems when users messes up they camera settings and doesn't know how to restore default ones.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ceesheim:
LOL one extra button "restore default" and that is fixed .
[Windows Phone 7 General] Hirnteri:
1. I hate cases

2. MS cant say that all wp7 buyers have to buy a case to use the phone

no they don't have to require a case, but they also don't have to make the buttons not work when screen is off either.

Anyone noticing SMS timestamp errors? My Optimus 7 is showing incorrect times on all incoming SMS.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
my time stamps have been right all day. Is your clock right?
[Windows Phone 7 General] otech:
I like it the way it is, otherwise when it locks up at the lock screen I will have to take the battery out - and thats a pain in the a$$ on a Mozart.
[Windows Phone 7 General] CR1M1N4L:
It's HTC problem. My girlfriend has some old LG phone and all messages I get from her have incorrect timestamps. And it's not only on my current HTC Mozart. It was the same when I had HTC Hero with Android and HTC HD2 with Windows Mobile and both of them were using different operators.
[Windows Phone 7 General] thenotoriouspie:
How many times do you guys have to reset per day?

Not trolling just curious
[Windows Phone 7 General] MichaelStolzen:
I've had my Samsung Omnia 7 for just over 2 weeks now and I think I've only had to reset my phone about 3 times in the 2 weeks.

Of the listed bugs, I have experienced:

- Games not downloading. Stuck at "Attention Required". Deleted the game from the download list and retried.

- Pressing the back button on Marketplace goes to black screen. Waiting aprox 10 - 15 seconds and it sorted itself.

- Zune sound not playing. Soft Reset sorts this out.

My biggest issue is in the email. I had an email come in with pictures attached. I clicked "download images" and it came back "download incomplete" Couldn't find any option to force the email to re-download. Sorted by forwarding the email to myself.
[Windows Phone 7 General] kenadams111:
change in brightness when zooming a photo

when looking at the pictures taken with the phone's camera (omnia 7) in landscape mode, when i pinch to zoom in, the zoomed image gets brighter. zooming back to 'fit screen' and the original brightness is back. so zooming in and out displays an obvious brightness change of the original picture. is that a feature? if so, i don't like it.

i got a reboot while trying to add a friend in xbox-live app. i think it happened when i received a notification in there. not sure if i can reproduce this.

also something that's annoying. i wouldn't call it a bug, but a missing feature. why there is no address bar in landscape mode in browser? rotating the phone from landscape to portrait to enter web addresses, and then back to landscape is not nice.
[Windows Phone 7 General] agp64:
So after reading this thread Can I assume that the WP7 phone has to be restarted about the same number of times as an android Phone.

I was really hoping WP7 was going to be more stable then this.

I was sick of my other phones freezing and crashing all the time.:mad:

Think I will hold of on purchasing one until the update in Jan.

Freezing during charging

Hi guys.

It's been 1 week that I have my HD7 and I have only 2 freezings: all of them during the chargin (using the wall charger).

Since my 2do freezing, I restart the phone before start to charge, and for my surprise, it didn't frooze again.

Another thing is that sometimes the led is green but the OS does not show the battery full. Reset 'solved' this for now.

I think the main problem here is the drivers that control the charger, since I couldn't also charge the phone when it is off.

Perhaps some kind of leak of memory which after some chargers it get 'lost' and freezs the device.

I will keep doing this 'reset' thing after 1 more week and then another week without doing it too.

PS: until now, I did 2 full discharge/charge... will try one more

Doesn't close active WiFi connections

Hi all

The behaviour that I have observed is that if you have something running on the phone that requires a connection, your WiFi will not be switched off automatically. For 3rd party applications I think the developer has to access a feature called "Run under lock" and that applications that use this feature have to give you the option of enabling it when you first run the application.

Cheers

Haven't restarted once

Hi all

I haven't "had" to restart my phone once. I have had one lock up after I installed a load of software via USB connection in Zune Desktop but in normal use I have had no problems at all.

One thing I find (and this explains most of the screen transition animations) is that the applications that you have had open stay "open" or saved in the background as previous pages in a browser. This means that if you press the back button many times, you go back into all the applications you have used. The only way to clear this "history" is to restart the phone, but it is not necessary for performance.

Overall, I think that the core of this OS is light years ahead of WM 6.5!

Cheers

Weird Icon Bug

Hello everyone,

A weird icon has appeared in my app list. (see image), I drew it in paint so it's not very good but you get the point.

When I click the Icon it opens up the settings for adding a new account (windows live, facebook, google et cetera) If I hold on the icon in question I get a greyed out "pin to start" option which I cannot select and nothing else...what on earth is this icon and how do I get rid of it?

Thank you.

##update This is caused by adding an account and then changing it's name to begin with an @ symbol, this produces the icon in question. I have so far been unable to remove said icon after removing the @ from the accounts name. Maybe this deserves to be in the bug list if not already there.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Dazzla:
Not really a bug, but when you are listening to music and you receive a notification you are unable to see the notification on the lock screen. The now playing bar obscures the notification.

At least that was from memory, I could be mistaken.
[Windows Phone 7 General] agp64:
Glad to here there are a few WP7 phones out there that do not need resetting all the time.:)

I need a stable platform for when I travel and not a phone that might fail on me.
[Windows Phone 7 General] TripOG:
FIXED

these problems were completely eliminated by using the original charger and not the charger i got at walmart when my dog ate the one for my hd2
[Windows Phone 7 General] eternalemb:
what windows phone 7 has stability issues? My HD7 stays snappy even if I'm listening to music, have 6 tabs open in IE and play need for speed.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vashht:
I've been having problems with my HD7 in some apps like ebay, netflix, imdb and some more and it's the same problem. When i scroll through lists the touch screen becomes totally unresponsive until the scrolling is finished. Like if i swipe down then try to swipe again while its scrolling it won't respond at all and it's really frustrating. Are any other HD7 owners experiencing this? Do I have a bunk unit maybe?

It's especially bad in ebay, if I'm scrolling through a search the screen becomes completely unresponsive and then jumps around once the scrolling stops. Other than that the marketplace freezes up occasionally but nothing else is too bad. ebay is by far the worst but netflix and imdb seem to have some slowness to them too.

EDIT: I just wanted to add that the regular menus and marketplace and some other apps run really smoothly, is it just these apps are somewhat inefficient right now? The only reason I got kind of worried is because a lot of reviews talk about how well they run when it's obviously not the case on my phone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
I've had zero freeze up on my hd7 so far only one time I had to reset because marketplace wouldn't open.

And if this does happen, check out the boot time thread. WP7 is the fastest booting phone on the market (all units under 30seconds), probably due to less UI add ons than winmo or android.

I haven't noticed much lag at all with scrolling, but that was in the reviews that not all the apps scroll as well as the stock software.
[Windows Phone 7 General] cpimentel:
I realized that the charger I was using at home hasn't the same output as the original one =(. Fail on me.

Now I will only use the original one and/or one that has the same output, just to verify.

Today I did a full charger using an iPhone charger, everything worked fine, but 2 others that I have at work, it's not working.

I never see such thing in a phone =(.

The battery bar is still showing wrong information until I reset the device.

[Windows Phone 7 General] vashht:
Well don't get me wrong I read the reviews, but the eBay app is so bad it makes the search basically unusable unless I scroll trough really slowly. I actually did a hard reset and left my phone off for a couple minutes and that made imdb, Netflix and a couple other apps scroll much better. Just to clarify though, the scrolling itself is smooth, but if I try totouch while scrolling there is pretty noticeable lag in the touch input.

Sometimes when you exit the browser and go back in, the back button doesn't navigate to the previous webpage, it just exits the app. Pretty annoying.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Welp...got screwed on my first app purchase from the Market. Was needing a timer and all the free ones are stopwatches. I did an app search for timer and it popped up one result for $1. Turns out the guy mislabeled it because it is nothing more than a stopwatch. I could have installed a free stopwatch if I needed one.

Not a good sign...People have to lie to make a buck.

don't know why you went that route...i downloaded a free timer app, aptly named Timer. It appears jn Xbox Live Games for sone reason but it works fine.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Scrtcwlvl:
Found a bug that I have been able to reproduce many times.

-If one is taking a picture with the camera in landscape mode, but then receives a toast notification for a text message, if you tap the notification and go into messaging, the messaging system will be stuck in landscape but the keyboard will rotate into portrait. Rather odd, but not a big deal.
[Windows Phone 7 General] kenadams111:
unusual portrait - landscape switching, need a setting for portrait/landscape lock

so while in the messages or mail app viewing the messages i noticed this:

while the phone is sitting horizontally on a table there is a need of ~45 degrees tilt for the interface to switch from portrait to landscape and vice-versa.

that's ok i guess but the most annoying thing happens when i am using the phone on the move.

so i take the phone out of my bag and somehow the moves i make 90% of the time, internally it switches to landscape mode or maybe it was set to landscape while sitting in my bag. so when i look at the phone in my hand (in portrait mode as the main tiled interface shows) it's position is close to that of it sitting on the table. so the treshhold of 45 degrees isn't met. then if i open the messages or mail app, the content is in the landscape mode. that's annoying. then i have to tilt the phone 45 degrees and wait for it to switch to portrait.

on the move i use the phone in portrait mode since i can handle it faster with one hand. when sitted i can handle it with two hands in landscape.

it might be me. or the phone in the bag and one handed phone handling on the move don't go together :).

but anyway i guess a lock portrait or landscape setting would be nice.

the phone is an omnia 7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ceesheim:
I post it here for you to read.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Because that was all I could find. As it is right now, with no repsponse to my email from the app maker, I will never buy another app from the WP7 Market. I don't see MS prospering this way, once more and more ppl get screwed.

By the way, for those who want to avoid a false app on the Market, the app is caller "Timer" and has the vague picture of an hour glass and is from EKSOFTWARE.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
yeah, I couldn't find it, then there it was in the games.

I'm waiting for one that works in the background, stopwatch timer pro is hoping to add that in the next update. Currently the stopwatch works in the background but the timer doesn't (go figure).

Bugs, flaws, omissions...

I posted the following to the Microsoft Answers forum and was referred here, so this is the same post again - in the interests of hoping these points get picked up and addressed in the forthcoming software update.

I have an HTC Trophy (exclusive to Vodafone in the UK, although I'm using an Orange SIM card).

At first I found Windows Phone 7 and my HTC Trophy very impressive but a few things are making me fall rapidly out of love with it. Call them bugs, flaws, omissions - whatever you call them, they're disappointing:

1) The Calendar function won't fully sync with my Google Calendar account. It's synced only four events out of dozens, and quite a random four, too. Nothing I've tried fixes this.

2) I can't turn the camera-shutter sound off. Even with the phone on silent, it still sounds.

3) Ringtones individually assigned to different contacts don't work - it's always the default ringtone that rings, whoever calls.

4) Deleting the 'Personal (Web)' folder from SkyDrive (which WP7 places there during the first sync) renders OneNote on the phone unusable, in terms of syncing with OneNote on my PC. (To be fair, there is a warning in the relevant Help section online not to delete the 'Personal (Web)' file, but that's no use if you've already deleted it, oblivious to its importance. You're only likely to consult the Help section once you've deleted it and experienced problems, so a warning at the time deletion is attempted would be much more useful.) This action can't be undone, seemingly, so now I'm left without an important function of the phone - possibly forever!

5) Can't play YouTube videos embedded in Facebook.

6) Can't rotate photos.

7) Can't seem to get a 3G signal anywhere that I used to be able to. Probably not a WP7 issue but thought I'd throw it in there anyway. Stuck on GPRS, having a smartphone seems fairly pointless in most regards.

I'm sure this list will get added to in time - after all, I've only had the phone for four days. WP7 is beautiful, but good design isn't just beauty; it's functionality too, and there's a lot lacking on that front at the moment.
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
Hello Nightboat,

Regarding 3, 6 and 7 it works fine on my device.

Are you sure it's not hardware related ?

1 is already listed

I will list 2, but I suppose it's by design.

I will list 5

Regarding 4 does anybody face the same bugs ?

Thanks

Some of my installed apps are starting to disappear. I have no idea where they are. When i go to marketplace and try to reinstall them, i am unable to do so. Only the "Share" icon at the botton can be seen.

So this shows that the app has been installed. But it somehow disappeared from app list. No idea where it went too.

[Windows Phone 7 General] andrew-in-woking:
HTC 7 Mozart design flaw or feature?

Hi all

By my understanding, the Unibody design of the HTC 7 Mozart creates some problems with Network and WiFi connectivity. If you make a phone out of a solid block of metal, there is nowhere for the radio waves to get in or out. HTC have overcome this by cutting out the lower section of the back at an oblique and used the rubberised battery cover as an antenna. For me the phone looks and feels great like this but...

It is possible to hold the phone in such a way that you completely cover the antenna section of the phone, and loose some WiFi and/or network reception.

I haven't done any exaustive tests, and to hold the phone in this way is not the most ergonomically natural way to do so, but it can happen.

I put this down to a trade off between design features and technical performance. The only other way HTC could have done this is to have the antenna in the rubberised section at the top but clearly this created problems with the camera and flash unit.

Overall I have about the same network and WiFi coverage as I do with my HTC Touch Pro 2, which, by the way, suffers from the same issue, despite having an entirely internal antenna.

Cheers

Phone charging Error indication when Laptop is in Standby

I have the LG-E900 with WP7.

My laptop was on standby and the phone was connected to my laptop via the USB port. The charging indication on my phone was flashing. As such i took it that my phone was being charged.

I left the phone and went out. 8 hrs later when i returned, the phone was still indicating that it was charging. The battery was half consumed, pretty much the same when i left it 8 hours earlier.

So i am wondering could this be a bug.

I'm having a few of the issues that have already been mentioned, the marketplace freezing up and refusing to start when I get kicked out of it, IE issues (though most are just interface quirks that could be fixed with a small update) such as freezing and no nav bar when in landscape mode.

I have a complaint about the marketplace using the search button to search everything. It would be nice to narrow it down to music or apps for the phone. Granted there aren't many apps yet, it would be nice to not see a bunch of music results for an app I was looking for.

I've had the marketplace crash on me a handful of times and restarting the phone doesn't take long but its not all that convenient to be doing when I'm just browsing through the store.

My phone, Samsung Focus, sometimes will not unlock if laying flat on a table. Sometimes the lock screen will flip open, and other times it opens a sliver of the way up and bounces back, completely unresponsive. I don't know if it's meant to be this way, but it's a bug for me...
[Windows Phone 7 General] tjhart85:
Doesn't MS allow for returning of apps that don't work as advertised?

If not, I wouldn't ever buy from their marketplace.

Android allows return of any app within a day of purchase. After you've bought an app once and returned it, you can't do it again. Seems fair.

I would have thought MS would have something similar in place.

Microsoft should have an easier time as I understand it because all the carriers/manufacturers additions are "addons" (not their word) to the OS. This means that MS can push out their update & everything should just work. It wouldn't need to be customized per phone or anything like that.

I'm hoping Android 3.0 will have something like this in place so we don't have to wait 6+ months for carriers to re-integrate their skin (motoblur, touchwhiz, sense, etc...).
