Any idea where it is? It was supposed to be released today (well, yesterday now).
There was some kind of issue deploying the xbox live dashboard update today. Since the dashboard update and the app go hand in hand, they delayed the release of the app until they get it straightened out. It was only supposed to be a couple hours delay, but it has stretched past that now.
Been delayed for a few months. I remember it was called the fall update.
I woke up expecting the new dash update, but nothing was there.
Just got the xbox update (about 6:30PM PST).
It's still fall for the next couple of weeks.

You need to login to windows live / xbox live from a computer and accept the new EULA. Afterwards everything is working just fine again.
Still missing the companion app though.
I got the update but am able to log into Xbox live as well.

it showed up on the Xbox for me. All is normal now, except for the missing app.
Companion App
Lots of information about the delayed update but no news on the Companion App. Anybody got anything on that?
I've asked both Windows Phone and Xbox on Twitter and haven't received a reply
I guess we will just have to be patient a little while longer and I will just have to add it to my wait list along with Lync.

So really it could come today like it could come Friday. The dashboard update is still rolling out so they probably want to get it out of the way first.

Just got it. And I have to say, it's pretty sweet. I didn't expect it to work if the device isn't in the same network as the xbox (I have two wifi hotspots). But it does. It even works when the phone is on 3g. With just a very small delay. Good work, Microsoft.
can anyone upload the xap becuase i am in greece and this app it is not available in the marketplace??
ok I got it, but sadly the new dashboard of Xbox its nothing more tan a big marketplace
Now I got the Xbox marketplace that requires gold subscription, the Zune marketplace, and the Premium play marketplace. that's a crazy stuff man. the only free apps, are a bunch of more marketplaces themselves
It seems that every good Idea of Microsoft has to be screwed by stupid things
The app seems okay feature wise, not amazing, but keeps reconnecting every 60 seconds though :/

A lot of people are complaining about the ads, I'm not really sure I see the issue. It's kind of like going in iTunes and being upset that you see a banner for some new Lady Gaga single. I understand not wanting to see deodorant ads, but new DLC or XBLA release? I honestly see that more of providing information than annoying ads. IMO of course.

The twitter app featured seems to have a live tile which tells you if you have new tweets or not. Am I missing something here? My Twitter app is nothing like that and is just a static tile with the twitter bird on it
Is it a different Twitter app? Or have they just put out an advert which features software not available to the public yet?

Push notifications just hit the iPhone app in the last week or so, they announced at the same time that it was coming to Android and Windows Phone. So yeah, its either edited or they were using an early version of the software.

I think you've missed this guy's point. He was making reference to a similar observation elsewhere on the new phones. Don't be so quick to judge.
Edit. Its a demo, which makes me wonder how the hell did it get on my phone. I have tried the demo before, but I did not install it again after resetting the phone.
So today I decided to factory reset my phone to update my Samsung. When I go back and sync all my contacts, I have a look at my Xbox hub and as expected there's nothing there apart from a bunch of "Try it now" links for some games.
Then I go to marketplace to get the essential apps and games and when I go back to the hub so that I can pin Krashlander to the home screen, I notice there is ilomilo in there! So I am like WTF? I didn't download this... So I open it up, expecting some kind of a "This is a demo" message and that didn't come up either.
Haven't had the chance to go through all the available levels to see if it is indeed a demo. If it's not then it's a pretty good way to saying sorry for the loyal users!
Anyone experienced this?
Ilomilo was free for me on my Samsung Focus when I got it at launch. I think it was a promo or something. I don't remember the details exactly.
ATT gets ilomilo free. I don't know about other companies.
Wasn't preinstalled on my Focus (Rogers). And when installed from Market it's only a demo until purchased.
Pretty cool game & concept.

Hey guys,
for those of you on Orange UK
check out the marketplace.
there is now an "Orange Selects" section and you can download free versions of apps such as Cocktail Flow, Touchnote, Pathfinder etc.
Sorry if this is old news.. I only noticed it last night!
Yeah saw this recently too! I like it!
Where is it?
I'm not seeing it, but I fear this is either because I'm not using an Orange SIM in mine or more likely because I uninstalled the Orange app out of the programs! Can someone be very specific about where it appears, then I can be sure? Is it supposed to be in that first list where you get HTC Apps, applications, games & music?
Humm i cant get into the orange selects section since going to mango i get an error 805a0194

It happens to everyone on mango beta.
To get around it (to get your free apps) just go to the marketplace search and type "Orange UK" and it will give you the same list as the "Orange Selects" section.
Hope this helps.

From what I know we're getting 1 free app per day for every day in July. So each day you go in to the orange selects section one of the apps in there will be free (the price changes to £0.00 for 1 day then changes back to whatever it was originally)
Hope that helps.

I have the free version of that, it's really good.
I'm not missing another one.
The only problem I see is that once we downgrade back to NoDo, all the apps that we installed on Mango will be deleted (AFAIK) so we'd have to pay for these apps once the Mango Beta ends. Can anyone confirm/deny this?
8th July: Bye Bye Brain
A bit bummed cos I only just found out about this promo
That sleepmaster app just seems like an accident waiting to happen.
Plug it into mains and then sleep with it in your bed? A lot of reviews citing the phone getting red-hot which seems inevitable. Not something that i'll be doing.

Hi all
I understand that the Windows Phone marketplace policy is that once you have purchased an item, you can re-download it anytime later if it has been deleted from your phone. This should include future updates to applications/games. The purchase is linked to your Windows Live ID rather than the phone.
The only problem is if the item is removed from the Marketplace after your purchase.
Cheers
andrew-in-woking
This ain't good at all and I'm really pissed. All my apps in my purchase history are MISSING. I can only see 10 purchased games and that's it. Can you imagine I've been asked to repurchase WPCentral app again after trying to reinstall after having some log in issues with it? WHY and HOW? :
What the **** is wrong with Microsoft and the Marketplace? Why am I experiencing this? I can't pay for an app twice. Any insight into this?
Maybe you just can't "see" the purchases. I have had no problem re-installing previously installed/purchased apps.

is possible that this issue affect only us two?
please if any other user is affected let us know...
i think i know what causes this bug. the purchase history on windowsphone.com in my case only from 22.09.2012 till today. so i miss all apps from june 2011 till 22.09.2012! and that causes the paid apps to be gone, not all paid apps, only the ones downloaded for free which normally cost before and after these free days. i wrote microsoft but nobody has answered yet. they send me a link to chat with them but the link is broken it says "windows live id is some thing bla bla bla..." so i cant access the chat to tell them what is going on. but this is a serious bug. no matter if it is paid app or the purchase history, they cant do this to us.
offcourse in my case those apps are get by free in different sale&promo offers by the devs on the store
but i want them back...
maybe
could it depend by the fact i have not associated any credit card to my account?
ms didnt reply to mee to (neither a chat link)
:crying:
I am also having the same problem! It's only showing the apps that I have purchased/downloaded since October 2012. Except it shows one app that I purchased on 5/27/12 which is the XDA app. Hopefully they get this problem figured out and very soon.

Having similar issues here. Just tried to re-download ilomilo (which I've owned since WP7 launch-day), and it's asking me to purchase it again. wtf?
i dont think they gonna fix this. i think they deleted our data purposely. they want that we pay for the apps, and they dont want that we store all our app and reinstall later to use it. till today the chat link of the microsoft service center is broken, it says something with the windows live id is not right...
for me all my apps are gone from 2 years it seems though they left after I did som cleaning on my account and removed the phone they were first purchased from ms credited me 35 bucks but says they have to escalate it to get the 150 bucks I asked them for.so if you have old phones listed there that your not using do not remove them he also said if you change the live id that it could lose them in the migration
I'm really getting tired of this. MS support saod I should wait but for how long? Why is it that they are not coming out to tell us anything.....in a press release or something to make people aware of this issue??

By the way, did you change something in your Microsoft account? Language or location?
I had the same problem when I changed the language from French to English on my Microsoft account (not on the phone, the one for everything: live, msdn, xbox, credit on the web). When I went back to French, all the purchase history came back.
Last Sunday I contacted Microsoft by Chat on "www.windowsphone.com" (it pretty amazed me to get live support so easily) and they told me this is a known issue and that they are going to fix it. They also told me this is going to take a week to be fixed.
When they fix this, they'll merge the new and the old list of apps.
Polish microsoft wrote to me that this is know problem which touch part of people who changed their WP7 phones to WP8 and doing everything to solve this problem. I didn't change my phone to WP8 but I installed Dynamics 2.0 (7.8) maybe this is the reason of our problems?
Edit:
From today again I can install part of my old, purchased apps starting from 02.2012. Not all installed in period 02.2012 to today are visible in purchase history, but few of them I can install.
Brothers, I think the issue is partly fixed. I got my WPCentral app back but still can't see apps BEFORE 29th March, 2012. All apps in 2011 and early march 2012 are still missing; which still contains my Liquid Daffodil's apps. Microsoft should please fix all for me. Check yours to see if all is available
