[LIST] Post-NoDo Update - Quirks, Problems, Issues [UPDATED LIST]

I didn't see a thread about any issues regarding post-Nodo forced update. I originally posted my issue, but have since resolved mine, but there are some out there with issues. Post them here, I'll try to keep main page updated w/ any options/suggestions for FIXES. Thanks

Some users have experienced loss of 3rd Party Live Tiles and FIXED with uninstall w/ re-installing. Others, including myself, have had no luck w/ uninstall-reinstall fix, but did have success w/ Hard Reset.

Weatherbug works just fine for me. Motweets does as well. AP mobile and flixster work as well. Everything is working for me. Not problems here.

Nice. I guess it's a personal issue with my device. I've heard of people having this issue just in general, and sometimes a hard reset worked. I'm just afraid of going back to the original pre-pre-nodo settings. Would that be the case? or would a hard reset still have nodo update on it?

everything is working good for me as well....only app giving me problems is one of the theme color changers and just my luck is was my fav one...no problems with marketplace apps...

I just updated my Focus on AT&T. The only problem I've found is with the Zune software. I'm currently re-syncing my entire music collection back to the phone (since I had to remove a lot of content to get the install to go through), and after a random amount of time, the sync will stop. The error is that the USB connection has been removed, but it hasn't been touched.

Some of my live tiles have been blank in the past but rebooting fixed some, just opening the program from the tile fixed some, re-pinning fixed one and reinstalling fixed another.

Anybody notice that you make a phone call it no longer vibrates on connect? I really liked that... wonder if there's a way to bring it back...?

I played it safe and uninstalled all 3rd party apps, deleted all provxml files but left it dev unlocked as i did nodo update. Seems to have paid off cos it is still unlocked and sideloading is still possible.

QUite unnecessary if you would've followed the Prevent Relock instructions. I just left mine registry unlocked and updated to NoDo and my phone and all 3rd party apps are still functional. Even installed an XAP just to be sure.

Please have these types of discussions in WP7 General. These do not contribute or add anything specifically along the lines of hacking WP7, just discussing official update issues.

10-4 there big dog. So, about this vibrate on connect issue...anybody got any ideas? Maybe it's a setting in the registry?

Posted this on the Omnia form but no replies....Screen resoluti1on on my Omnia is poorer for some web pages (specifically noticed the pictures on Bing are really banded but used to be crystal clear, WPCentral webpage also even more banded than it used to be).
Anyone else noticed this? was hoping there may be a firmware fix, but haven't found anything (was running XEN JK1 prior to the NoDo update).

woah, I just noticed the same thing, samsung focus here
also, when i attempt to access "find my phone" it gives me a "setting up find my phone..." dialog box with an ok button, when I hit the ok it goes back to my start screen

Fixed my issue
I said "F it" and did a hard reset, and, voila, after downloading all my 3rd party apps again, the live tiles are working. Didn't take long to set everything back up, as outlook had all of my contacts set up. It restored to factory settings, but with NoDo update

Yahoo! Issues
I installed NoDo Yesterday and this morning I went to check my e-mails however now I cant sync my e-mails with yahoo! anymore =S anyone else having the same problem? Or hopefully know how to fix it?

Nevermind fixed it myself apparently when it updated to NoDo Yahoo! figured it connecting was suspicious so I changed my password and all works now =) Thanks anyway!

I lost windows live calendar and contact sync. Even inside of Settings>email & accounts>Windows Live, I only have the checkbox to sync email. I tried adding another Windows Live account and that is able to sync both contacts and calendar. I am going to try to remove the original account and re-add it. Will post results shortly.
Edit: So you can't even delete the original Windows Live account you set your phone up with. I don't want to hard reset, but I will if I have to. Any other ideas?

I noticed after the Pre-NoDo Update that on the Lock Screen text is running off the screen instead of wrapping, so now it looks like utter **** in addition to being unreadable because my Calendar is filled with items that may start off the same, but the part that isn't hte same is off the screen. I'm 100% sure this was wrapping before that Pre-Update. Before it looked like this:
Calendar Item Line 1
Calendar Item Line 2
Calendar Location
Time
Now it looks like this:
Calendar Item Line 1 Cale {rest cut off}
Location

HTC peep

hi all
I recently noticed that my friendstream was not updating. So i logged out and tried to log back in but it is saying username/password incorrect which it is not. i have change my password and email address and it still doesnt work. Anyone got any ideas.
Thanks
Jonathan

I think I saw a thread a few days ago about this - something to do with https or something...
Sorry its a bit vague - I was using the official Twitter client more these days - but have a search in the forum - I am sure this was brought up recently
e.g. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016439&highlight=htc+peep

Yeah, seems Twitter have now changed to use HTTPS and sounds like it's knocked out Peep - Official apps works fine but HTC are going to have to update the Desire to get it working again

Yeah have no seen that its effecting a lot of people.
I have notice that HTC as released a fix for windows mobile devices. But nothing yet for android.

the WinMo fix for Peep I think was a security hole in their s/w rather than this issue if it was the one released a couple of months back.

Double-check on your Twitter account and see if you're using HTTPS - if you are see if turning it off works?

I had the exact same problem - Cannot log in!
T-Mobile customer services said it was my problem......grrrrr!
No it is your problem - please sort it!
I have had to add a bloated Twitter app....come on HTC, if you tie in these "apps" into the software - keep on top of it - OR allow us to remove the "app" as normals apps can be removed!
Rant over....for now!

i dont use it my self but they fix it

Mine works fine just logged in no problem, odd it only affects certain people.

By the time it takes T-Mobile to do anything helpful, you might as well have bought another phone!

the advice to NOT use https does not work - same issue.
HTC are at fault here for not keeping their eye on the ball (well eye on Twitter that is!)
I will forgive them when they release gingerbread shortly!
Dave

not the first time peep has been having issues.
tried reporting it to htc? they'll probably say wait for a future update.
or in the meantime try the official app

Log in problem with the official Twitter app.

Just wanted to find out if anyone is experiencing log in problems with the official twitter app on Windows Phone. I cant log in since 3:00 pm yesterday and it's driving me nuts. Have tried everything from reinstallation to time change etc but still not able to log in. Please help.
Sent from my HTC HD7 Windows Phone using Board Express.

I think it's a common error of the host network .

fewer people using that type of mindless nonsensical BS is beneficial to society as a whole, however, so you may consider halting your attempt to login

Thanks y'all. Thought hard reset will solve the problem but still not able to login after hard reset...regret I even did it coz I've lost important lab files....oh my!

The Twitter app leaves a lot to be desired. I either use the built-in people hub or Seesmic when working with Twitter on my WP.

Agree!
That is why I would recommend Mehdoh [or our twitter client - TwiDeep]. Have heard good things about Carbon as well.

You should try out Rowi or Carbon. They are both excellent twitter client for Windows Phone.

The problem I'm facing is that, no twitter app seems to work now on my phone. They all give me twitter authorization error. Went to the site to make some changes but still. Now I think it's a general problem coz all my friends are experiencing the same thing. Contacted twitter but they are not aware of any situation. All apps that require twitter authorization are not working and I'm now frustrated. Can it be a geolocation services in my region.

Kenzibit, had this anoying problem here and what i discover is that once u signed with your Live ID and then add Twitter account from settings, this account become linked to your ID and then this error starts cause you arew already signed in twitter and then the official app understand that and cant sign u account.
What i had to do is signed first with other ID that i had that i use only for business so no contacts no Twitter,Facebook nothing linked to this account than i download Twitter and worked since. Try this.

Ok thanks but this means, I have to hard reset again because WP does not allow signing out of you live ID, not even delete although you can delete all other accounts (gmail, yahoo, outlook etc). One I have signed in with this Live ID, I can't sign out untill hard reset....something I really don't wanna do beacuse I have a lot of unbacked up files, information and settings. I have to be ready before I do this. Any suggestions before I try this step?

Wow...I went to my windows live ID and removed all associated social networks and apps and hard reset again (for the 8th time and now fear phone might start acting funny). Installed twitter app first, loged in and hurray i'm in.
Now fear if it will stop working again after adding all the removed apps and social networks. This wasn't so before why is it happening to me now.
Anyways thanks for your suggestion becuase it really worked.
All the best in what you do.

8773 - Not receiving facebook messages with message hub

Since I forced update to 8773 in my Omnia W (Brazilian version, SGH-i677), I can't receive all facebook messages when I'm online using message hub. Is anyone having this problem? How to fix it?

Same issue, same cause. Probably that's the reason why we're not getting the damn update officially. Haha

haha damn!! I'm trying to restore to original firmware, but don't know how... Any ideas? I've opened a thread, but no replies so far...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28190923#post28190923

Not sure about the Omnia W... I'm on a Lumia 710, so I can re-flash it through Nokia Care Suite (not going to, though. BTW that pretty much confirms it's not device-update-specific, but the update as a whole).
Samsung has ODIN for Android, doesn't it have any similar tools for WP?

This bug,
HTC camera modes bug,
Lumia connectivity bug,
etc...
Probably all these bugs that we take upon ourselves are indicating to us that "STOP, force updating your phones". Most likely we don't have the updates officially because there are things not done well.
I had official update on my Titan and everything is happy as a rainbow.

Nothing at Samsung site... ANy ideas of how to restore to Mango, or even NoDo????? Please!!!

Does anybody speak portuguese? I have found this blog, will try it later:
http://www.blogaomobile.org/2012/06/tutorial-como-atualizar-rom-do-samsu.html
*Just followed the steps and it worked perfectly! Now I'm at 7720! Awesome!
*Updating via Zune. Using that disconnect-wifi-after-2-seconds method.
*Updated until 8107, nothing was found after it.

The issue is still happening.
Someone told me that this is also happening in 8107, and I can confirm that.
Any solutions, please?

I'm also with 8773. Facing the issue. No clue on how to fix yet

8107 works fine on my samsung focus. No issues. Have you tried re-setting up facebook under settings?

What do you mean by resetting? Disabling chat integration or remove facebook from Windows Live and adding it again?

How did you get Tango on your Focus? I have tried forcing it through Zune to no avail.

Same issues on my Lumia 800 with OS 7.10.8773.98 and FW 1750.0805.8773.12220
Not all messages are forwarded to the phone. I forced the tango update too with the cab sender method.

People are writing in the comments here that they are seeing this on Mango too.

I posted a thread about it. Changed my region code to ROG-CA and did the update trick.
I have no problems with 8107 or Tango

I had this problem, fixed using this method:
1. Remove your Facebook account from your WP
2. Cancel the connection between your Windows Live and Facebook accounts
3. Remove Microsoft of your Facebook account and every data related
4. Reconnect you Windows Live with Facebook
5. Reconnect your WP with your Facebook with your new @facebook.com email
Worked for me atleast.

i flashed my lumia 800 with tango and since then having the problem , but flashing it to mango again didn't helped either !

Tried it too. Apparently my Facebook account was removed from the Hotmail Integration by itself... just re-connected it and now it kinda works like before.

Tried the method above, using facebook email, did not worked. I started a conversation with a friend and only saw the reply via browser or facebook app...
Bought the WP7 for the social network integration, and it does not work...

Facebook News sync lost after hard reset

Greetings
after I hard resetted my Lumia 650 I can no longer download the MS Facebook app with contact sync (People App --> News is the important one for me) . It worked before.
Maybe it updated to a new insider build which removed the functionality?
When I try to install an old MS Facebook APPX Package (Microsoft.MSFacebook_10.3.2.0.AppxBundle) it works but it only shows contact pictures. If I click on "News" or "Recent updates" it shows nothing
Any help ? Thanks!
Robin

The MS FB app just doesn't work anymore. Facebook removed access from all older & 3rd party apps. So, you're stuck with FB's latest version... I know "Boo", right?

If you sideload the MS version of Facebook (the Appx is in the forums, search for a thread with my username), you will get connect back. ONLY if your OS build is prior to Creators Update. I don't know if the 650 was eligible for the CU, hopefully its not, because the CU will remove even that possibility. MSFT killing off every good feature one by one.
I still have FB connect working on my Lumia 1520, but it went away on my HP Elitex3 after Creators. I did do a factory reset on my HP, restored it to my Lumua 1520 restore point...I had FB Connect for a few hours, but once Creators Update kicked it, it was gone. Perhaps, if you find a way to prevent windows mobile from updating, you could prevent CU from kicking in.
good luck. I was upset about this too!
