Zune 4.7 Download - WP7 Marketplace Live

Just in case anyone was wondering, the Zune client has been updated to 4.7. I don't see any live download links, looks like you need to already have the Zune software installed, and it'll auto-check for updates.
Some nice changes, and the Marketplace for Windows Phone 7 is also live so you can take a look at some of the apps currently available. This just gets me real excited.
That being said, anyone wonder why the Marketplace would be open when no devices are even available. I wonder if devices will be available sooner than we think...
Update: It looks like apps keep getting added and added as time moves on. There were only a handful of apps 10 minutes ago, and now there are a bunch more.
Update 2: Download link! The FULL Zune Client 4.7 package.

Wow, good discovery. Updating now.
edit: Whats strange is a lot of the apps are already reviewed. I dont get it o.o

Well technically the phone has been in testing/use for months now, so i'm sure those reviews are all from internal testers, developers, and the lucky few who get to test out these devices.

awesome, I will be upgrading my software tonight after work There will be phones available in the US on AT&T by Nov 8 and sooner in Europe I believe.

Does anyone have any word on how the Zune software will check it's location? I have a US Zune Pass for my Zune 80 but I'm currently living in the Netherlands (the pass is run on my American bank account). To get the Zune marketplace to show on my desktop I had to set my computer location in Windows to US.
Now the big question is: will a WP7 phone just believe my american hotmail or will it do some nasty IP checks or SIM code checks? I would love to have my Zune account directly connected to my phone, so I'm guessing this will be the deal breaker for me.

Not many apps on the marketplace. How are they suddenly going to have 2000 apps (as stated) on the app store by launch date next week? Confused.

No worries, there are still testing...think about the Netflix, IMDB, Ebay, twitter apps, they are all announced and not there. I think we will see much more 21st ongoing...

Many of the apps are still going through the curation process.

Hmm, how do you see the apps? Do you have a device connected?

just go to the marketplace and click on apps.

Or if you already have the Zune Player (which I downloaded last week) Windows Update will give you the 4.7 update. I installed it last night.

What's your country set to in windows? Maybe try changing that and reloading the zune software and see if it works?

Changing Location setting to United States worked, thanks for the great tip!

I think you need to change your computers region to a country where the marketplace is launched, e.g. UK or US.

Installed Zune Software for the first time yesterday.
I like it!

Um, I've had Zune 4.7 for a week now (or more..?).. I just clicked the update button and it did it for me.. so don't know what all the fuss is about. There was about 200 apps when I checked about 4/5 days ago, and as of last count they have 409 apps. Which certainly beats the Zune HD count of like 30 in over 1 year lol.
A few of the app's aren't displaying their picture which is annoying, but it will get there. With 4/5 days left till the launch, I'm not sure if they will get to 2000, but they most certainly are doing a decent job of going about it so far.
Some of the app's look pretty useless, and might never get used, but the xbox live games look GREAT. Can't wait to test this out in a week.
Lack of gaming apps does bother me a bit though.
EDIT: I don't know why but the Zune Software seems a bit sluggish to me now.. it can't be my computer.. its an Alienware so it's fast. Don't know why it lags at times.. it used to be speedy.

facebook app updated - checkin added

Marketplace has new Facebook app for dl. Feels snappy and has checkin support now.

This is like a single very first progress made, first baby step, first staircase in flights of stairs to come.. ever since the release of WP7 months ago.

haha, i agree.. to see the "Core" apps people want on their phone get updated features consistent with other platforms is great. Some of the bugs with links not being clickable are also now fixed (such as when you clicked on history timeline and couldn't select any links.. seems to work all the time now)

I've done two things in the past 24 hours and have had strange behaviour after, both things could have caused the issue.
I recently updated the Facebook app and I've also changed some security/privacy permissions on Windows Live. Now my linked contacts in my people list have become unlinked.
Wondering if any of you have had the same problem? Perhaps it's an issue with the update? (Or it could be the Windows Live thing)

people hub definitely uses the windows live contact list. I haven't tried myself, but can you link/merge them through the live contact manager and see if they stay that way or get linked on the phone?
obviously the only time i lost my links was during a phone reset.

i don't see a new facebook app available for dl....what version is it? the one i have is 1.1

[REG Hack] How to get live tiles working again [Possible solution for all]

I have my HD2 flashed with WP7 rom and i very happy with it...
After installing more apps withlive tiles i start to have probs with live tiles not working or updating..
I start digging the web for possible solution and i ended up at this site
http://mobilitydigest.com/the-live-...m_campaign=Feed:+FuzeMobility+(Fuze+Mobility)
This article was a relevation to me...
I learn a lot about the live tiles and that developers with bad apps can be the cose of the this problem...
So the short story :
If you have problem with live tiles then open the registry and check those 2 keys
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\PushClient\Endpoints
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\PushClient\ManagedEndpoints
Probably the Endpoint key has more that 20 entrys and the ManagedEndpoints arround 10 keys..
What i did to solve my live tile prob
1. I did disable the live update in all my apps.
2. I Delete all the keys in the Endpoints keys ans reboot my phone.
3. After that i start all the live till apps and re-enable the live tile ...
After 10 min boom!!!!!!!!! all my live tiles where working again...
I know that a lot of ppl have probs with live tiles so if anyone try this please report back your findings
Thanks again Jim Szymanski from Mobility Digest for this usefull info
Update
Seems that if you delete the key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\PushClient\Endpoints its faster (than deleting one by one all the entrys)
and does the same job.

I was having probs with most of the non MS live tiles sinse i did install and remove a lot of apps...
For example Beezz and tweetmo are 2 apps with probs...
Now after trying this all are OK...
I did some search the net and seems that its a problem with a lot of WP7 users...
colossus

no problems here
i guess its just an issue with ported wp7 on hd2. i have sideloaded a lot of 3rd party live tiles and all seem to behave well, before and after nodo update. but i will keep this thread in mind just in case my start screen screws up later. good find and thanks for sharing.
p/s: my friend is using wp7 on hd2 and his livetiles (even the default contacts) does not update and soemtimes seemed like it crashed

I used this to fix the live tile problem on my Samsung Focus. It worked great.
None of my non-Microsoft live tiles were working at the time.

Which wp7 rom are you using?

Found the Mobility Digest article few weeks ago, and have been regularly using it. Works brilliant and sorts out the problem.
One thing that helps "kick-start" the live tiles (after doing like first post says) is to start the app, and do something with (i.e. if its a chat client, send & recieve a message... If its Send to WP7, send yourself a link, etc)... once this is done, it should be ready to push things again.

What 3rd party apps have live tiles? None of the apps I installed seem to have live tiles (htc youtube, facebook, xda app etc). Standard live tiles like People & Zune work perfect on my HD2.

Here is a big list of WP7 live tile apps
http://wmpoweruser.com/a-long-big-of-windows-phone-7-live-tile-apps/
so in order to fix live tiles i need to make some changes in registry ?
cause i wrote nothing about editing it
and how u disabled all updates in apps ?
sorry for that but im new in whole registry editing stuff
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes to fix this you need to make some changes to the registry with a registry editor...
To disable the live time from apps you go in every app that has live tile and disable the functionanily from apps settings...

Hi m8
You must delete all the entrys in the Endpoints branch....NOT the ManagedEndpoints
Then you must reboot the phone and wait for a while ...
Also there is a version of HTC hub (1.5) that i use and works fine...

thanks again for the instructions. I coudn't tell whether live tiles were working or not. I deleted the entries in the endpoints anyway and rebooted (there were about 15 of them). curious about the htc hub you got though. you think that will work on an LG? the one I side-loaded is v 1.0.
btw, reading the original article carefully, it doesn't matter whether you delete the keys under ManagedEndpoints. The author in fact went so far and deleted both keys Endpoints & ManagedEndpoints and rebooted. they are being recreated by apps with live tiles. But deleting keys under Endpoints alone is sufficient as colossus_r points out.
thanks again for making us aware of this 'bug'

Unfortunately the patched 1.5 version of htc hub does not work on Samsung Omnia 7
gives error about not being htc device.

Actually, I did notice now that my weather channel live tile is actually alive. Before cleaning it only updated after entering the app. Now it updates the weather icon and temp automatically. Didn't know what I missed

Possible solution for all except DVP
Would love to use this fix on my Dell Venue Pro except there is no registry editor capable of deleting these registry keys. I have a total of 25 endpoint entries, one managed endpoint entry, and as a result one functional live tile. Uninstalling and reinstalling applications has no effect on the problem or the entries.

Differences between 7712 and RTM 7720?? Post your experience

as the title says, anyone who has upgraded Mango beta 2 to RTM 7720. Have you noticed anything different? Speed, features, stability etc.? lets use this thread to post our experiences (still havent done it yet, but will report once i do)
cheers
Sent from my HD7 using Board Express

thanks for putting up this thread, im looking for some differences as well.
I haven't upgraded yet to the leaked mango, it is tempting, but I`d rather wait for the official rom for my trophy.
from what I heard the 16bit color banding is still present, and no hidden wifi connectivity, and IE9 HTML5 performance is not yet optimized to 50fps due to the generic drivers used by the rom, instead of using the drivers specifically designed to the particular device, and this [maybe] why the 7720 is still in carrier/OEM testing.

The only so far is the maps, that were not working in brazil.

By maps do you mean turn by turn navigation? I haven't really tried this in 7712 (btw im back to nodo 7392) all i know is that it can route locations and stuff, but not voice navigation.
Some says TBT is region dependent like Bing LS and Audio.

I dont know im not really seeing what the differnce is either they could have at least let you change alert tones you can set parameters for wifi connections other than that unless im missing it not even seeing what the update was for.

i haven't really seen anything different from beta 2

IE9 now earns 141 points (7712 - 140) in HTML5 Test

By maps i mean i couldnt even find a place here. Now I can
But no turn by turn..

I found the HTC Apps in Marketplace is now working.

only found "not for resale" disapears

Exiting Bing Vision with the back button no longer freezes for a second as it did in 7712. Now there is an animation of the Bing page sliding down.

People Hub is changed. Twitter integration is now completely functional, so is LinkedIn as mentioned. Contacts show up and auto link where able to. Instead of having to go to individual posts on different services, you can now click the post and pivot to see the replies on different services. Phone is faster. Keyboard bug is fixed where it wouldn't automatically capitalize the first word of texts in messaging hub. Lock screen delay is gone on my HD7. Battery calibration seems a little more accurate, at least for me. Before, if you hit the search button in the Phone to search contacts, but backed out, the bottom buttons wouldn't reappear, this is fixed. Bluetooth is more consistent for me, it doesn't drop, it did on the previous build, often. Tiles no longer "bleed" and flicked through lockscreen for me. I know I found more fixes and features, but this is all I remember off the top right now.

also switching orientation has a different effect especially the people tab

i updated to 7720 yesterday and i think the lock screen is a bit different, the time and data shows up like an smooth animation (fade in) effect. i dont know if this was in 7712???

The time and date fade out has been in place since NoDo

I've just noticed it being a little smoother and boot up showing "not for Resale" is gone. It broke my sideloading tho, so I guess that's something

better battery life and increase in overall performace

Did anyone with mango update can confirm if Arabic is now read correctly on IE9? RTL issue

So what's new in 7.8?

Hey all,
Thank to your help I was able to update my Lumia 900 to 7.8 yesterday.
So far, here's what's new:
- New start screen (which we are all aware of {which I love by the way})
- More Accent colors
- Ability to use Bing as Wallpaper
- Bluetooth Transfer and Ringtone maker now work (it didn't work on 7.5 for me)
- Ability to make google as your default search engine in Internet Explorer
So far this is all I noticed... If there's more please feel free to add

they need background voip, otherwise i am dumping wp and going back to android. MS already has 2 strikes against them, current lumias will not get wp8 and we have not gotten 7.8 before Christmas.

Background VoIP isn't (and never was) coming to WP7.8. So, make your departure before wasting any time.

how to get the app for ringtone maker and Bluetooth file transfer? i've just updated and the link seems to be nor workable now

Try this (from your phone):
Bluetooth transfer
http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/bluetooth-share/51f49c63-5966-4752-bb12-430455f911a8
Ringtone Maker

I'm not sure why... my guess is they will be available when 7.8 will be official.
