i bought a game and it hasnt been installed onto my phone, it asked me to connect to wifi or connect to pc, so i connected to pc and purchased the game from zune and it hasnt instaled on my phone. i have checked the games hub and not there, its an xbox live game too
I had this happen to me with a game from marketplace. It gave me the same message & would not download by any means. This continued for two days, then on the third day it miraculously downloaded.
I think it's an error in marketplace, that happens from time to time. Can't say for sure, but hopefully you'll get lucky like I did & get your game. If not emailing the programmer should get results.

I have a Sprint Mogul. ActiveSync has ALWAYS worked perfectly fine for me, but today I think I may have messed something up...
I bought my girlfriend an MP3-Player for her birthday, so I loaded it up with all her favorite songs and CDs. After that, I decided that I want a few of those songs on my Mogul, so I disconnected her MP3-Player, and hoooked up my Mogul. All of a sudden, I get an error message that says:
"Synchronization cannot be completed successfully. Reconnect your device and try again. If the problem persists, see the Microsoft ActiveSync Troubleshooter in ActiveSync Help on your desktop computer..."
However, I can still explore ALL the file son my Mogul, so it IS connected and reading my phone AND storage card. The problem is, when I try to Sync music, or install a new application to my Mogul, I get another error message that says:
"Your device is using an outdated driver that is no longer supported by Windows Media Player. For additional assistance, click Web Help."
I realize what it says, but I loaded a few songs on my Mogul not 1 hour prior to getting this error.
Another weird thing is that every time I try to connect my phone it shows up as "WM_Owner1", then 2, then 3, etc...
-I have now performed a hard-reset, and now I can do absolutely nothing but make calls. I can not install applications, edit/delete ANYTHING, uninstall programs... Basically, it's almost like every file on my Mogul has turned into a write-protected file somehow. I do not have access to ANYTHING...

Have you tried reinstalling Activesync? Have you tried canging USB cables. Usually one of those is the culprit if a hard reset doesn't fix it.
Have you guys had this problem? I am up to date with windows live. Occasionally, it says it is connected but it isn't, and i know this because none of the contacts come online or offline and signing off does nothing... I have to soft reset to get it to work again. Also on a related note, after that when I try to sign in at home on my PC, MSN keeps signing in and then disconnecting instantly. I do not know if there is any correlation... This only started happening in the past few days...
Hmmm i downloaded AgileMessenger and was able to log in properly. Afterwards my desktop messenger started working and has stay connected again... Interesting....
Basically two things going on here. I know the phone can use WiFi just fine (works for data without having a SIM card in the phone), but when trying to use the marketplace, apparently it requires there to be a cellular data connection. Is this a bug or a feature?
Also on a similar note, I've purchased a couple games that are too large to download over the cellular network, and the phone tells me to either connect the phone to WiFi, or connect it to my computer to download the app. When I connect to WiFi, go into the market to start the download, it still tells me I need to connect to WiFi. Plugging it into my computer doesn't really do much other than open Zune, and I can't find a way to redownload purchased apps, it just says I've already bought the app.
Anybody else have similar issues or have any suggestions on how to get around this?
Remove from download and get it again

I had that issue. Once you have bought the app/game, you don't have to pay for it again. Taking this into consideration, you can safely cancel or remove the app from the download list, search for it and hit buy. It will notify you that you have already bought the app, and if you wish to install it again. Agree to do so and it should download fine (over wifi) without any hiccups.
I have installed a couple of apps over zune but it's just way too complicated, really leaving it to chance. Sometimes it'll install, but most times it won't.
Hope this helps.
Hey,
I just picked up a quantum myself and I'm having this exact same problem, I can't download apps through wifi. Mine is not unlocked yet so I haven't had the chance to test it with 3G.
Have you found a fix for it yet?
I've been downloading apps using cellular data...?
However not huge games, just normal apps. Although I tried to download one game last night and it said please connect to wifi, but that's been the only one.
So after using the marketplace app with my cellular data it seems as though I can download apps and games in the marketplace with wifi.
Weird it seems to work normally now.
Maybe there is some sort of authentication step or something that happens once you access the market with your cellular data.
as far as the wifi problems. Its windows... inherently, its still glitchy. Turn it off n right back on n it works for me doing that.
Also as far as apps that say you already have em? Uninstall it, then it will let you do it. delete it and uninstall it. Or worst case, if you REALLY want it, sync, format n resync.
I ordered a UK DVP last week, it comes with the latest firmware and I upgraded the OS to 7390, but wifi freezes. This doesn't happen to my US DVP.
After a few try I realised that it ight be zune which causes the problem. If I do not connect to PC after the reset, the wifi works ok. If I connect to PC zune, then it will have wifi issue unless you reset.
I just tried to re-install zune on PC and tried to forget the previous devices but it's not working.
Every first time I connect to PC(after reset the phone), once I disconnected, the phone will start download a certain number of games (5 with certain title) which I have purchased, I've purchased nearly all the xbox games but why these 5? And afterwards, the wifi freezes...
What shall I do now? Do I need to hard reset my PC?! To forget these damn devices.
(Everytime you connect a new device, it starts syncing automatically, you can't change setting before that, STUPID!!) I hate zune!!

I believe your Zune Live ID is the same across all your resets. If its the same ID, then it will download your apps. That's my guess.
Yes but why only these 5 or 6? Every time is the same and I've bought dozens of apps. I can't even cancel downloading. Tried after reset my laptop it's still the same. This is stupid!
It will download only those purchased on the PC. Any apps purchased on the phone will not be auto doenloaded

since the Nodo update i've been having issues syncing with Zune. Zune recognizes my phone and all, a listing of photos it could not sync is listed with a yellow exclamation point next to it. followed the link to correct the issue, plus spent weeks searching for a way to solve the issue. with no avail. along with the listing of unsyncable photos, looking in the PC folders it monitors and generates for "camera roll" and "saved photos" from the phone is a huge list of .tmp files it generated.
i tried everything...uninstalled and reinstalled zune, updated zune, used an MS tool to reset the media files for zune...nothing worked. decided to give one last shot...wireless wifi sycning. which i'm happy to say WORKED.
which works out great. it's pretty quick over my wpa2 secured wifi at home and it allows the girlfriend to use the laptop and sync my phone without disturbing her
wondering if anyone is having this issue though with syncing??
Usually, if i try to sync around 10 or more songs, it says that there was a connection issue and i should unplug my phone and plug it back in. Any less than that and it does fine. Same goes for pictures, videos, and podcasts. If i only sync a few items, its no big deal, but if i want to sync more than ten different items, it becomes a pain.
Very interesting that you bring this up. My experience was opposite, detailed here: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...ws-phone/a495b87a-6361-4791-a2f7-ab5642dc9086
Basically, my wireless sync wasn't working, which led me to connect with USB, which revealed that there were some podcast items that wouldn't sync. However, all 30+ podcasts were syncing just fine for months...now suddenly 2/3 of them have corrupt items? Unlikely. I suspect the phone.
The error code I get is c00d124d.
after the nodo 7390 update it becomes a pain always receiving C00d124d message. I restore to 7008 and it worked perfectly again. i tried again to update the SW and the message appeared again
