Hi Guys,
Anyone noticed that in the UK the Zune software has no podcasts listed. The PODCAST icon does not even exist.
I have to manually add my rss feeeds for each one?
anyone seen this.
Thanks
Russ
It's still very early days for Zune in Europe. I've had a Zune HD for a year and I've seen the US Marketplace and it's another world. You have more music, podcasts, a lot more movies and also (many) TV shows (plus Zune HD apps).
Hopefully Microsoft will work on that a lot more than they did with Xbox Live (Europe content is rubbish compared to the US). Apple did it, I don't see why Microsoft can't, they have to want it though.
Here's to hope...

It gets even worse if you update your Zunes through the UK version.
You lose access to the marketplace on your devices, and as late as last week you couldn't get any 'Channels' either.
Altho, now we can get some dumbed down (IMO useless) channels.
Is it possible to use my PC for UK Marketplace and my Laptop for USA marketplace?
So having access to both?
I already use a VPN service to access USA only sites like HULU with no problems..
I live in belgium and made an "belgian" live account, now I can only rent a movie, no music or apps or podcasts... We wait and see
Thanks for the confirmation everyone. Shame as they even mention adding podasts via the Zune software Marketplace on the UK windows phone site!
Hopefully its coming as I can understand Video being a rights issues internationally but Podcasts?

You can't use the same Live ID as it is be based in one location.
You'll need two ID's and Zune Pass's (1x UK 1x US) to use both at the same time.
I'm still looking for a better solution.

Have you tried setting your PC so it 'thinks' its in the US ?
You won't be able to login and buy anything (see above) but it should let you grab some Podcasts.
This trick worked for me, and allowed me to get Podcats and the Marketplace back on my Zunes. I don't have a WP7 phone yet so i don't know if it works with them.
It's easier to just get the rss and subscribe manually, at least he can use his actual Live ID and the marketplace.
Hi everyone,
I have been tinkering around with WAD and havent decided on what theme to make. Currently I'm working on Windows XP theme, but I wanted to do something a little different. I thought it would be great to implement an exact replica of yahoo messenger interface (easily done with docks and images for the GUI), but the problem which is stopping me is the communication with the yahoo server to receive realtime messages and status. Was wondering, does anybody know how to do this and would it be legal? I don't think it would be legal though due to copyright issues regarding the images etc. I'm talking an exact replica of the messenger ported to windows mobile but this would be an 'always on' version part of the homescreen/ desktop page when the phone starts up. I'm pretty certain it's possible, but doubt it would be able to be distributed to the public without a license from yahoo messenger. Only other way round it would be to distribute it with out the images and let people add the images themselves.
What do you think? Is it a good idea?
Can anybody tell me, if there are a change with the above problem? at this time, you can only sync to the main calendar of any account (Google, Exchange, Windows Live). But any of this, can support multiple calendars/account in the webview or in Outlook to. Only WP7 does not support this. Are there any news, if this is supported in a future update? NoDo, Mango or a Update before Mango?
A workaround could be syncing categories (and categorie colors) via Exchange, but this isnt also supported at this time. Very anoyying.
i would be happy, if a WP7 Developer can give me some Hints about the development belonging to this, but i have no real hope.
No news that I know of, but you can count on it being implemented at some point. They know they will need it, and WM has it. Their business users will need it for sure, but I doubt that is a priority at the moment. MAYBE towards the end of the year? Next year would be my guess.
NoDo here and there's no multiple calendar....
I too would like this functionality, but it won't be in Nodo. I suspect it will come in one of the "frequent" updates MS say they will be putting out between Nodo and Mango.
I don't remember my old WM phones can do this either. So, it's maybe one of the limitations of EAS.
I hope for one of the updates. In WM 6.5 you have categories. for my needings a better alternative as multiple calendars. bute the categories need to be colored to...
I saw recently that Nueva Sync (the cloud sync service) had a good take on the issue and how they deal with it... or better, how they "make do" with the API MS offers currently.
Does anyone know if Microsoft talked about this at MIX 2011 this week?

It's not a limit of Exchange ActiveSync, and yes Exchange Allows Shared/Multiple Calendars and Windows Mobile supports them.
I used that functionality on my HD2 (Private and Public Calendar, for example).
So here is a strange one, and I was wondering if someone knows how to do this correctly.
With my new phone I am using the same Windows Live account as my other WP7 device. It automatically downloaded a few of the games I had on my Samsung, but not others. Like maybe a third of my games showed up.

I think the only way now is manually install all the apps and game you had purchase in marketplace by browsing the marketplace all over again...
Some nice tips to ease this progress, use Zune software rather than your WP7 when browsing the marketplace for more efficient
Thanks
OK, it looks like I have to do it on the phone actually. On the computer, I click "Buy" and then it says the game is already purchased, but doesn't present me with an option to re-install, but on the phone it does.
Either way, it is still odd that some games downloaded and installed on their own, while others didn't.

zune can't tell what apps you purchase directly on the phone. Only ones that you buy/download through the zune software.
I have talked to the zune support team and they are trying to add the functionality in a future update of zune.

BINGO! That makes total sense as to why only a few auto downloaded.
Thankfully, NoDo made the marketplace 100x better to use. I was able to quickly find the apps and que them all up without any crash. A minute later, all my games were in their hub.
Lesson to be learned here: Download apps through Zune if at all possible.
Since updating Zune there are no devices showing in account/settings/computers and devices, and after trying to add a device to windows live ID it says i have the maximum allowable which is 5, Ok so I have had a few over the years and removed most but now i cannot remove any to add a new one, Before the Zune update I had 5 devices still showing on Zune and one was due for removal 2nd May, Confused? Have had to create another Live ID and link inboxes to use my contacts etc, Pain but anyone know how to get around this issue? thanks in advance.
If you contact Zune Support you can request a device reset for the affected Live account.
Excellent, Will give that a go.
