My phone has stopped receiving marketplace updates automatically. To get an update I need to browse to the app in the marketplace.
When I used to plug my phone into my PC and start Zune, this would "force" through any updates but this doesn't work either. An example is the recent Flixster update which I have not been notified about.
I have flashed the HTC Mango ROM to my phone. Can't see why this would stop updates though.
Is anyone else having this problem?

I don't know if this is the proper place to ask. Maybe I'm better off getting an answer from Microsoft forums, but has anyone been having a login problem after purchasing a zune pass? I can't login I purchased one a few days ago and have not had a problem loging in till now. It just started happening today. I can't sync my music to my hd7 unless I'm logged in. The music was downloaded using my zune pass.
Zune wouldn't let me log in earlier today and at one point my username/avatar wasn't even being displayed in the upper right corner. May just be a temporary server issue because I've since been able to log in again.
I don't have Zune pass BTW.
Zune and Zune login is working just fine for me. Haven't noticed any real issues. I do not have a Zune Pass though so not too sure what's going on.
I was having the same problem earlier, but now all is good.
yes, all is better now. sweet.
zunesupport on twitter confirmed an issue, it seems to be fixed now
I'm on my third HD7, and I noticed this after i got my second one. I can't sign into my Zune software and I can't download anything from the market on my phone. I'm having this problem right now. Restarted both phone and computer and nothing helps.
Just wondering if anyone else is having problems with the market place this morning?
I've got 4 apps that have updates, and when I try to go to update them, it loads for a while and then says that the windows live id service is not available at the moment.
Trying to figure out if it's a problem with my phone / network / account, or a general server issue?
I've already soft-reset the phone a couple of times and no difference.
We both Have HD7's on O2 in the UK and we both have Mango RTM leaked on our phones.
This morning she was notified that there was an HTC update for her phone, after installing it she now has new radio and firmware. Quite a bit newer than mine.
I can't force mine to get the update and the only difference between the two phones is that mine has bootloader version 1.*** and hers has version 4.***. Could this be the reason I have not got the update?
Or would that have been updated by HTC? (I did force install NODO on mine and think I needed to change the bootloader then)
Am I destined to never get another update? Can I change my bootlloader? Any help much appreciated.
All RTM and Normal WP7 phones will get the Update regardless, its just that MS does them in batches and your wife's phone was the lucky one in the first batch.
You can try force the update in Zune with the disconnecting trick.
Just have patience as all phones will be updated by end November.
So it has nothing to do with the provisioning of the device from when I updated from the beta servers for beta2?
In addition to all this, Connection setup will not run. So I uninstalled it and now I cannot install it again because it says it is not designed for my device in the marketplace. Why is that?
HTC HUB and some applications seem to be affected if you update from RTM to the Official HTC one
THe work around I found was to 'FACTORY RESET' your Phone after the HTC Update.
To HARD RESET your Phone

Thank you for all your advice.
But do you think this would prohibit me from recieveing the firmware update?
OMFG
zune on mango is bugged

there is a f***** way to resolve this f**** problem that freezes the phone every time i listen music in random play? or i have to downgrade TO NODO !??!??!?!?!??!?!?!??!?!?!?
Did you force the update? because I had this problem on the Dev Preview, but with the official update and HTC Firmware update it is fixed. You need the HTC Firmware update.
i forced the update through zune with the internet trick, my update is official! i've done the same thing with nodo!
THIS IS INCORRECT. MANGO DID NOT BUGGER UP ZUNE. STOP SPREADING HEARSAY.
I've had this problem since April (bought phone in March) with original HD7 firmware. It's related to WMA and/or Zune Pass DRM content. The problem continued through both NoDo and into Mango.
Deleting the Zune Pass Subcription content and redownloading fixes the problem. Been problem free since doing this 2-weeks ago. No problem. Works perfectly for hours, without usb power connection.
Note:
DRM Free only content will not freeze (mp3's);
Running device on USB power will not freeze;
If you've ever taken a long flight with your WP7 device, you may have run into the problem -- while in the air, turn on Zune and all drm-protected content refuses to play. Only drm-free content works. MS should look at the way Zune routinely reviews drm certificate or db integrity.
Ive solved the problem
i was using wma drm free 96kbs for put more music in the fucching 16gb
with mp3 128kbs there is no problem. But this is not acceptable
aquanaut88 got lucky - the described fix doesn't work for everyone. Certainly not me.
Also, this doesn't necessarily have anything to do with DRM'd files. It's reproducable with unprotected WMAs ripped from CDs.
onorevole.paolo - you've not soved the problem, you've found a workaround. Plus it won't help with Zune Pass content.

From the Microsoft Answers thread, someone received this response from HTC:
"We are aware of this troubling issue and we are working closely with the carriers to develop a maintenance release to correct it. Our developers are currently working on this and we hope to have an update available for you soon. We do not yet have an ETA to provide for you. To stay on top of release dates for upgrades and new devices, you can follow our social network feeds on Twitter and Facebook, or our official website at htc.com/us. However, you will receive direct notification to your device once this is available for download and installation."
Yesterday, I bought an HD7 directly at a T-Mobile store and placed a pay as you go SIM with a balance of $0.00 in it.
I first synced with Windows Phone Connector Beta on my Mac running 10.5.8 to get all of my music on there.
Then I plugged it into a PC running Vista to update it to Mango (7000 -> 7008 -> 7392 -> 7408 -> 7720 -> ISharing).
The phone has been driving me nuts ever since!
I've hard reset it twice today, and gone as far as to make a new Live account.
Things I'd love to get working:
Push Notifications -
Neither IM+ nor Facebook can update Live Tiles or send toast notifications unless the app is in the foreground. IM+ gives me all of my notifications (toast and vibrations) once I open the app back up, but that defeats the purpose, doesn't it?
Native WLM/FB Chat -
I get the dreaded "Can't connect to chat" message when I try to connect in Messaging. I'd love to get WLM and FB chat working in here, since I can't get IM+ to work. I tried everything, from toggling every setting possible, to settings up and linking another brand new Live account. Nada.
I love this phone and WP7, but this is outright unacceptable.
From what I've read, both of these have occurred on even the flagship Lumia 800!
I'm just wondering, could these two issues be related?
Is there anything that can be done about either issue, other than the common solutions, like downgrading to NoDo and re-updating to Mango, installing a custom ROM, and/or registry hacks?
Update: Both issues fixed themselves at the same time about 5 minutes after I posted this.
I've since found out about the HD7 defaulting to 3G for internet connectivity even when connected to Wi-Fi, and the issue seems to be related to this.
For some reason, I am able to access websites and apps that do not use SSL over mobile data with no data plan. I'm sure this loophole will be closed soon. This would explain why chat would not connect. I'm not sure push notification problem was related to that, as IM+ was connected over Wi-Fi.
I was able to duplicate my problems by turning off Wi-Fi, allowing my phone to connect to 3G, and turning Wi-Fi back on.
Toggling airplane mode and then turning off cell data fixed the issue and allowed chat to connect.
I am having the exact same issues with my HD7. I have not found a solution yet. Last custom ROM I tried was based on 7720. I have not tried a 7740 ROM yet. I have re-flashed mine to stock TMOUS for now.
