Does it mean that a monthly "patch tuesday" update won't fix it ? Does the "will only work if you update the build" applies to any build (it just needs to go through the update process to fix that) or a pre Redstone 1 one is required as a starting point ? It is Lumia 650 so there is no way going back to 8.1.

Most likely patch Tuesday won't help you. What we sadly need in my opinion on an update for Outlook mail & calendar, but there were so many of those, and no fix for this issue yet. I was waiting for the fix since July until October, and no updates helped. That story about update is just "in general". Like "if you have some issue, update your Windows 10 Mobile build and your Calendar apps version, and we hope the issue your having has been solved". It this case - they haven't solved it.

But yes, in this case in particular, it helps to get to Threshold 2 I think. Some you have Lumia 650 forget about wp8.1, and in fact, it should be easier for you.

You would need to use Windows Device Recovery Tool to reinstall Windows 10 Mobile, update all apps, setup Calendar, and then update to Redstone 1, that is to the current version. Unfortunately, I only don't know which build of Windows 10 Mobile you would get with WDRT for Lumia 650, but if you would get a Threshold 2 build, such as *.107, then that's the solution for you! Plus, it would be easier for you to do all that than for us with older Lumia's. You don't have to upgrade to w10m, etc...

And if you do this, don't use your restore points, setup everything manually. And avoid doing a hard reset while after you upgrade to Redstone 1.

This is what I did but it had caused different issue I already described, missing contact list in new email To field. This is hopeless

I posted it to Technet forum hoping to get an attention

It is reported as 10586.13333 that is supposed to be 10.0.10586.494, the latest before Redstone 1. Am I out of luck ?

Don't you at least have this button to add an address from your contacts?

You're not out of luck. If you setup the calendar while in that build, the tile should work fine. Also, before trying to setup any app just wait until this app has been updated to the latest version.

Yes but it is useless because it copies email address without name to the To field only and it is quite hard to use. I hope the next complete reinstall won't return the issue back.

[garisa]

Me too... Well, speaking of not displaying names - be and my girlfriend both have the issue that when I send an email from my phone, my name is not being displayed as senders name, but only my address. I have noticed that issue on several other w10m phones, and I may also assume that all w10m users have this issue. Though I don't have this issue with my Outlook account, only with Gmail, and my email account for work.

I've just loaded RS2 to see if it acts differently, as I thought I might as well if I'm going to have to reload from WDRT. But it's the same. Going to wait one more week for them to fix and I will comment on the TechNet link.

This is completely different issue. It affects IMAP accounts and started when outlook email aliases support was introduced (April 2016 IIRC). There are tons of reports of this bug in both Answers forums and Feedback app, apparently without any response from Microsoft It affects both Mobile and PC version of Mail application.

Exactly same issue here. I use Gmail only. I tried all things including extensive web search to solve this issue: no user name when sending Gmail.

I gave up on this. At least the mails arrive, we should be happy. Mostly I use the iPad for sending mails and there I don't have this issue. W10M is a beta only OS.

Unfortunately you are right. I can confirm neither update to current .576 version nor hard reset using this version helped. I went to the WDRT path.

[enriqueinter]

I already did the WDRT path and still not working!! Downloading the latest .576 patch but I dont think it will do any better :(

[svknet]

I upgraded to .576 version. But before upgrading, to my surprise, Outlook Calendar Tile displayed today's date!
As per my daily ritual I unlocked screen thinking to resize Calendar tile to update data and events. But Live tile was already displaying today's date. Though I had no event for today, so no events on Tile. I will add few events for tomorrow and check if tile updates correctly tomorrow.

I think the easiest way to test the outlook tile, lets say, to send a mail from other accounts to your account, and see if the Outlook mail tile refreshes. The Mail and Calendar are tied together, that's why they have the same tile problems.

[garisa]

Yes, but I have never has that same problem with Outlook mail tile. Only once, but simple restart solved the issue then.

You can just add a new calendar event scheduled to next hour and check the Calendar live tile.

After the WDRT cure and updating to .576 including apps all issues are resolved for me. Both live tiles issue and missing contact list in new email To field issue are resolved now. Battery drain is about 0.5% per hour.

Unfortunately it seems as Microsoft does not care about the hard reset issue at all. There is no response in Technet forum yet. I also added it as comment in the WDRT tool.

Which is often, but not always, the way to fix it. Until it's broken again a few days or hours later.

With the WDRT cure you did, did you restore from a back up? I'd like to try that technique, but I want to restore from my current backup. Do you think it would be alright?

Yesterday I added event for next day (15-Dec), and after sometime event started displaying on Lock screen and Tile for "Tomorrow".
BUT... today again Live Tile was static with no date or event. Just Outlook Calendar icon.
I am not sure why it worked fine only for one day yesterday (14-Dec).

Come on Microsoft!!! Fix this!!!

You should do no backup, but to do a clean install of everything. Because you cannot apply Redstone 1 backup on Threshold 2 (as far as I know, I have never tried that, but Microsoft was speaking about that at some moment), so to apply your backup you would have to do a hard reset on Redstone 1 and that would bring the problem back.

I had same experience too before doing the WDRT thing... For some moments it looked fine by actually it wasn't. It was just the case that reinstalling the app forced the tile to update at that single moment, but the issue hasn't been resolved.

I've "Bitten the Bullet" and reloaded the WDRT, upgraded to W10 (.107 I think) hard reset then set it up again. After I was happy with the setup, I then upgrade to RS1. It's now working again. Hope I never have to reset again any time soon and because if this issue, no more fast ring for me...

[mjyumping]

I know that reinstalling the app doesn't fix the issue, but, I am just curious on how do you uninstall a built-in app like Outlook on Redstone 1?

On RS2/fast ring I could install it even on SD card. Was buggy as hell, outlook not working at all. Delete and reinstall internal.

Yes, it's that buggy.

[garisa]

Wait, so on Redstone 2 you already have an option to reinstall a system app, or perhaps even to uninstall it?
