Call me crazy, but I decided to install the new Yahoo Go! 2.0 (beta) on my device (just to see if it is as crappy as the old version). The Yahoo website recognized that I was running WM6 ... nice ... I have (for those who care) Sleuth 3.1 installed at the moment.
So, far, it is running nicely. I like getting my yahoo mail on my 8525 without having to sign up for any special yahoo plan. Time will tell whether there are memory leaks.
For those in the United States, you can download from http://us.get.go.yahoo.com on your PDA ... or if you prefer, the cab file I downloaded is below. [there presumably is another link for other countries]
For others who try this out, we can use this thread to compare notes.
I was hoping the holdup was a new messenger... bah.
You know, the "push" side of things doesn't seem to be working for my Yahoo Mail... it says in settings it has it, but it's not pushing anything...
i know shame about the push
just out of interest which do people prefer, live search or yahoo go?
they're both very similar
Live Search doesn't have Maps.. .. that's what I like about Yahoo Go! .. that and it seems to be device specific.
hey same here Push is not wokring !!!!!
I wish there was some way to select and delete multiple emails .. anyone figure that out? Or even just to scroll through emails easily. The mail interface, in general, seems to suck.

same thing i said... no messenger... yahoo sucks ass. i think charging for im is dispicable. once you've got a net plan it should be free. i dont care if they put ads on it. they're so greedy they make deals with the carriers to milk us each message. and that forces you to buy a text plan.
thats why google will always be ahead of yahoo. google understands that you can make just as much, if not more money in ads and give away products free as if you would try to milk customers.
in conclusion: yahoo go with no messenger.... they lost!
on the brighter side, its just beta so maybe the official version will have it.

i love the go gui. yet the live gui is more to the point and simplistic, and that can be to the user's advantage.
Yeah, the Go GUI is totally sweet actually. Very easy to navigate. Now, I gotta convince my buddies at google to make something like this.....<wink>

Wrong. I don't know what you're talking about because Live Search has both Road and Aerial maps...
I've been playing with the new Go 2.0 today... mostly unimpressed. It runs slow and I've had to re install it once already.
The only cool thing I've found about it so far is the direct Flickr uploading ability. That is cool, everything else is sub-par.
Installed the new Go 2.0 beta today with no problems after reading this thread. I'll be playing with it the next few days. So far the GUI looks nice, but runs slow on my Edge connection.
It works pretty nice as an RSS Reader as well. One thing I really liked about the old Yahoo Go, is as soon as you took a picture, it would upload it to your yahoo photos if you wanted it to. Now with the Flikr deal, it doesn't do that... You have to go into the GUI and pick pictures to upload. Now you can manage the pictures better though... I have mixed feelings about that one.
Just had to uninstall yahoo Go because my phone kept freezing up..
Why can't I get Yahoo Go to work? My connection is set to Media net. I can't get Yahoo Go to connect, Google Maps to connect, Live Search to connect. Before I upgraded to WM6 I could get 3rd party apps to run fine.
I tried switching to my isp instead but when I switch to it, I get a message that 'the answering modem has disconnected....'
Can anyone help me?

If you have not put in your operator settings in, it will not connect because the settings are blank.

same here. Conclusion: NOT very impressive
Is a memory sucker too.
Prior to install would have 18-19mb of RAM avail.
After install was down to 12-14mb.
Now after uninstall back to normal.
With most email going through my exchange server and google maps and live-search, I see no need for more bloatware.

hear hear!
Oh well.
I had been waiting for this software for a while now. I can't believe they didn't include IM!
Hello there. I have the 25 digit code, and have successfully activated my windows live account on my HD2. But when entering Marketplace, i get this message:
"Either Xbox LIVE or Marketplace for Windows Phone isn't offered yet in your country/region. Please check back later."
What can I do? WP7 is kind of boring without Marketplace access.
NB: I've tried to change my country settings under my windows live ID to USA, from Denmark. But still, same error message."Can't set up your account" HD2 - WP7
what is your code?

Well thats not very nice trying to con someone out of their activation code, dont give it to him.
I had this on a genuine HD7 the other day. Setup Zune, go through the process to download a free app through Zune on the PC. It'll fix it.

IDK why people are so afraid to call Microsoft to get the code. It's easy. Call the Customer Desk, ask them that you need activation code for WP7 and that is how i got mine. Seriously, man up.

A word of warning. The new Shazam has appeared today in the marketplace as well as Shazam Encore. When you read the description it says you won't lose functions if you bought the app before May 18th, that's a lie!
You see, you can't update the old free app because it doesn't exist anymore, only 2.0 exists now. 1.0 doesn't even show up in your purchase history!
If for a reason you have to reinstall it, 2.0 will count as a new purchase and you will lose unlimited tagging. You will keep unlimited tagging only if you never ever have to reinstall the app. When you reset or buy that shiny Nokia phone in 6 months, you will only get Shazam 2.0, not the one you first got for free.
I have 1.0 installed on my phone, (I guess it's 1.0, there is no about menu for it anywhere, but it's been there for over a month and I have unlimited tagging. no update shows up in marketplace.
Are you saying that if I remove the 1.0 from my phone, I can then only install 2.0 and it will have limited tags?
Once Bing handles song tags, it won't matter much, but I have Shazam installed in my restore file, so I guess I can never really "lose" it.
What if the 1.0 xap was floating around and it was installed, wouldn't it too have the unlimited tagging?
True. It's not an update.
Just wait for Mango to have bing audio, music, whatever (;

Yes, if you remove it from your phone or buy a new phone it will not be the same version. It's not going to show up in your purchase history either even though you had it before they changed it to 2.0.
it's too bad they went that route. They'll lose customers for sure, and as Bing will do it for free, they really should be trying to build as large a loyalty base now as they can. Seems like a silly decision to me, but it's their app, their company, their choice...
I contacted Shazam, at least they were fast to answer. Hopefully he didn't get this confused with the update that went live today:
Daniel Van Damn, May-26 14:23 (BST):
Hi there
Sincere apologies for any issues caused by our recent update.
The issue has been identified and resolved, and the updated application has been submitted to the Marketplace for final approval. You'll be notified within the Windows Phone Marketplace as soon as it's available for download, this should take place within the next couple of days. If you've previously had unlimited tagging within your application, this will remain unaffected post-update, and will for all future updates. If your app is being stored in an incorrect location eg. the xbox gaming hub, it will be returned to the correct location.
Again, we're very sorry for this issue, and for any inconvenience it may have caused. Please feel free to get back in touch with any further questions or concerns you may have.
Kind regards,
Daniel Van Damn

sounds like they are talking about the previous issues and the update submitted to the marketplace is the one we're looking at now
Right. It sounds like we all need to email them to let them know that the current "fix" doesn't fix anything, and see what they can do about it.
My guess is that they won't be able to do anything. There are problems with the marketplace. I've already had one other app get lost due to a marketplace fluke, where instead of getting submitted as an update, it was submitted as a new app, forever breaking the update path for existing users. The developer apologized, but was unable to get Microsoft to transfer the purchase history from the old version to the new one.
So apparently Shazam is dead. Because I'm not going to spend $6 for a service that will be free in the OS in a few months.
Yeah we could try that.
email is: [email protected]
OK. Email sent. We'll see what happens.

Yeah came back yesterday. The issue is this version makes you lose unlimited tagging even if you bought the app before May 18th.
Great news! After a few exchanged emails with Shazam support they asked me to find my Device ID (there's a free app for that) and did some magic tricks within their database. I reinstalled the app and now I have unlimited tagging back!
Cool! Just curious, did you try installing the update before their database tweak? And if so, did you encounter the 5 tag limit? I only ask because I had to hard reset my Focus a few days ago to install a new SD card, and since I reinstalled Shazam 2.0, I have not seen the limit. I've done about 20 tags, and everything has worked fine.
Also, if their database is device id based, shouldn't your device have already been there?
And on another note, if the database IS device id based, that means anyone who upgrades to a new phone will lose their unlimited tagging, which makes me . It should be based on your Live ID, which (I think) follows you from phone to phone.
I tried to update but the marketplace wouldn't let me as Shazam 1.0 doesn't exist anymore. I had to uninstall it and install Shazam 2.0 and that's where I was hit with the tag limit.
I agree that their database should be done with Live IDs, just makes sense.

Interesting. Yeah, when I said "update" I should have been clearer. I meant did you install the 2.0 version that showed up. The reason I asked is because that is what I did after my hard reset, but I never got hit with the limit. Maybe my device id was still correct in their database, but somehow yours got lost.

Peew971, Im still with Shazam 1.0 as I don't want to lose the unlimited tags.
Is it worth updating to Shazam 2.0 ?
Thanks
It's basically the same app really, not sure if the YouTube feature is in 1.0 but I never use it. I'd say 2.0 will guarantee you get future updates but as long as yours is working there's no need to update right now.
If you do update to 2.0 and get a tag limit, do contact Shazam support, they'll fix it for you.

Hi there.
Yesterday I Chevronunlocked my HTC 7 Mozart (T-Mobile branded).
I used this xap to prevent it from re-locking, then updated to NoDo (7.0.7392)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1009974
After that my WP7 was still unlocked - so far so good. Today I noticed that I can not use any Twitter app on my phone anymore. All - including the official twitter app (rowi, motweet, beeez, birdsong etc.) tell me they can't authenticate. I retried multiple times with my username and email address, all to no avail. I made sure my password is correct, and I can sign in fine on the Twitter website (regular site from my PC and mobile site from my WP7).
Does anyone know what might be wrong? Or how I can fix it (without re-formating my phone)?
thanks in advance

Birdsong & Rowi have both been updated through the marketplace to fix this issue, Beezz won't work anymore unless its updated, and not sure if the official app got updated... Twitter changed its permission settings last week which broke a lot of third party apps, they all need to have a method to reauthenticate now

Actually, the only thing that was changed is Direct Messages. So if an app wasn't updated to support the new Direct Messages API, it would no longer be able to access DMs, but everything else is still the same as always and should continue to work as normal. Both rowi and Birdsong were updated to access DMs with the updated API.
I don't even see any development or updates from Beezz at all, so I completely ignore its existence.
If none of your Twitter apps are working, there could be something wrong with your setup of your phone or your installation of Windows Phone 7 is broken. Which means you may have to hard reset.
Thanks for the replies.
Yeah, I feared that a hard reset is the only way... so i'll just unbrand it while I am at it, a hard reset will relock the device, wont it? So I have to fully reflash anyways.
Thanks again, even though I have some work to do now
Not true, Rowi had many more issues pop up due to the dm permission change... I'm not sure why, but they made it clear on their twitter... I use the app, my live tile even stopped behaving properly, it wouldn't reset, just kept adding to the previous number until I got that update

If you log into Zune, you should be able to go to purchase history and see if the download occured. Also, you can go to Windowsphone.com, click on your account and see the same downloads.
What you say about the AT&T section though indicates a potential problem. If the AT&T section and/or the Nokia section is missing from the marketplace, it indicates you may not be provisioned correctly. All Windows Phone users get Marketplace. Those special sections, called Storefronts, are available only to validated customers of that carrier, hardware or OEM. It may take a few hours for them to actually show up. If yours is not showing up, then it indicates a connection is not being correctly made. I'd call AT&T and validate your data connection is correctly set up. Been alot of that going on the last 4 days, but now that the phone is released to the public, we should see less of it occuring.
Good Luck
Ive got a problem with a CC that expired. They let me update my expiration date but not the stupid CCV code... DUH. So I ended up adding a different card.

I logged in to Zune and found my purchase history. However there aren't any registered devices. Do I need to sync the L900 with Zune on a computer? Could that be why I can't download/purchase new apps?
Thanks!

YOu don't need to sync, though it makes it easier to see. The results you're looking for are pulled off of your account with Microsoft. As long as your zune account and microsoft account are the same ID, there's no worries.
However, if you go to WindowsPhone.com and log in, this is the uber site. You will see your information here, and be able to see your device, and potentially reinstall most apps from this site.
Go to Microsoft.com/windowsphone. log in with your Windows Live ID on the right side. You'll see your registered name appear. Click here and choose account. You'll see lots of stuff.
Problem solved: As you suspected, the phone was not correctly commissioned. Called AT&T and worked through it. We're good now! Thanks again.
