Hi all,
I would like to ask if there is a way to change language in marketplace on my phone.
When i got my omnia 7, first time i typed my location - Germany just to try it and hoped that i can change that later but now i cannot change the language anywhere.
I searched on internet that the only way is to create a new LIVE ID, Hard reset the phone and then typed new LIVE ID with UK location.. Even if i understand German i would like to have it in English...
When i connect phone with my PC and start Zune software, i can change the location there but it seems it only changes the location and language for web page but nothing is changed in the phone.
Thanx

Hi guys,
I want to access marketplace but since i live in Sweden it wont let me access it.
I have a dev phone and a zune account and everything...
Any ideas?
Im in the US and I can't access marketplace either. All I can see is the homepage and the games that are going to come to WP7 thats it. I'm not sure if its different for anyone else.

Actually then at least you see more than me I can't even enter the marketplace anymore (which i could just 1½ month ago)...
Something seems to have changed... And no one knows?

Can you try and change the primary country to UK or US? This will get really interesting

tried changing it to UK... but no change on the phone... will try again in an hour in case it takes time to replicate the setting or so..
Have you changed location under Region and Language in the control panel to UK or USA on your pc? If not, try that and restart Zune. Worked for me.
Or are we talking about accessing it directly on the phone? In that case you will need a UK or US Live account.
And i'm guessing you have the latest version of Zune!?
Another thought! I can access marketplace in Zune on my PC. If i use my swedish Live account on my phone when i get it, download apps thru Zune on my pc to my connected phone. You think that will work?

Yes i actually meant on the phone, i wasn't aware that you can access the zune market for apps on your pc!
Also yes i do have the latest version of zune 4.7... the crappy part seems to be that you have to hard-reset the phone to set another live account
I was wondering if anybody has had succes with this. Tonight i will receive my first Windows Phone 7 device, the HTC 7 Trophy. My country is The Netherlands. I am know wondering if i will be able to download apps from the Marketplace. Microsoft NL has said that dutch people would need to change their country in the Windows Live Profile to US for access to the marketplace until it will be released finally in 2011 here.
Can anyone confirm this? I'm talking about access to the Marketplace trought my Windows Phone 7 device from within the Netherlands?
hello all,
I once had an account us-live, in November 2010 transformed it into the account pl-live (polish account).
Now of course I do not have access to the marketplace, and trying to change the region - get the message that the change can be made once every 12 months.
I wonder how i can shorten this time?
access--enabler
This might just be the solution

I use a live account with UK country setting and ING card and it works fine. Just put in a valid UK address with your own name. Some cards won't work.

Hard reset and use UK or UK live account in setup.
You could use wp7 freemarketplace
Ok so I searched the forums but I can't find a topic like this so I thought I'd bring it up.
I'm from Ireland, living in LA. My Windows Live ID is oooold and was created in Ireland. Now I love my windows live id I don't want a bloody new one thanks. So anyway I got the DVP and started it with my Irish Windows Live ID, all contacts and all that are all fine BUT when I go to look on the marketplace I notice that I missing stuff I should have like Netflix for example.
So I'm thinking is this because M$ still think Im in Ireland eventhough all the region settings on the phone say the US? Has this problem followed me from xbox live. On xbox live I still get the Irish dashboard & Irish marketplace offerings.
I can't believe that this problem still exsists and that it has crossed over to Window Phone 7, this is VERY bloody annoying! gurrr!
Also can anyone recommend a way around this while still using my current windows live id. For example on my xbox I have a american account (live id) that I use to log in, download/buy what I need then log out. Once the app/game is downloaded to my xbox I can access it from my Irish account. Weirdness but it works!
:'(
have you tried going to LIVE.com and altering your location and such there?
M$ don't let u change the country field for some bizarre reason. Once you choose a country then you're stuck with it, something they don't actually tell you when you're creating an account of course!
I am able to change from UK to US just fine on Live.com under Account.
yes u can change it "aesthetically" but it doesn't actually change the region of you raccount, ie: you will not be able to get content for US (only) if you originally created ur account for the UK even if you're living in the US.
So for me, for example, I'm in the US, on T-Mobile US etc... but I can't find, view or install apps like Netflix, LastFM or WHERE. In fact there are hardly any (good) apps that show up for me at all on my phone which is just a disaster, I can't believe that this problem has leaked over to Windows Phone 7.
If you live in a country that does not have Local Scout in Mango (e.g. Canada)
Set your phone to English US in settings - region + languages. It'll then restart your phone and you'll have access to local Scout.
Just did that and it works (I am in Montreal, Canada for the record). Before that I did not had local scout nor bing audio icon in search.
I did that and bing audio icon is still missing..
Always had the local scout icon since the beginning though...
Does this mean that these features are going to be USA market only? Again like the voice search is currently?
If so, massive fail and i'd be really annoyed.
I have no clue about that but the fact that it works (data is available at least) is a good sign. I used to only have an eye and a mic icon. And now I have a town icon (Local Scout) and a music note (Shazam like search).
btw Local Scout is pinnable so you can easily know what's around you on the go.
You can get the local scout option to appear, but doesn't mean it'll find anything.
Here is China it finds nothing nearby, so I've turned off all location based searches - pointless if Bing doesn't have info on the country.
I've tried this, and can only get local scout to work. I'm in canada as well. I really wish bing audio worked, shazam takes forever to load.
yup, if you set "use my location" as ON from bing search option, local scout icon will appear, although it doesn't necessarily mean it will find anything around your region.
local scout finds nothing in my area too (surabaya, indonesia) because it is not supported region
getting bing audio is still mystery for me. However, a friend of mine in my region (indonesia) told me that he has bing audio icon on his by setting up region as US.
Mine is developer unlocked and did the mango update the official way. His is not. Maybe it is different mango build???????
Just set your Browser & Search Language to English US.
I'm living in Indonesia and Bing Audio just worked. I leave my Region and System Locale and the other to Indonesia. Successfully identified "Party Rock Anthem (LMFAO)", "Price Tag (Jessie J)", "Bounce (Calvin Harris)", "Give Me Everything (PitBull)", etc.
Of course, Nearby would return nothing, since I'm sure there're no data for this country yet.

just did this, restart device and bing audio is still missing... Any other suggestions?
strange ... maybe it's device specific bug. mine is dev-unlocked focus.
After switching to English US everything is available and seems to work in Germany. I've testet music search(like Shazam) and works. Local search works also and finds everything in my location. So Germany might getting additional options for Bing. But it wouldn't surprise me so much as windows phone has a bigger market share in Germany than elsewhere in the world.
Hmm.. I am using mozart, but another bloke is using mozart in indonesia and his got bing audio too..
This is weird that changing these settings is working for some people, but not others, I can't get bing audio either, I'm in Canada too.
Maybe it is because I've set up my Zune account as US even if I live in Canada, my computer is set to English US too.
That's possible seeing as how some of the zune services aren't available here in canada.
iam done wid this...thanks a lot..juz changing the region and languge gives u many more options..thanks a lot
Doesn't seem to work if you Pin Local Scout to your start screen.
Shows no location data available for me, yet going into Bing, then tapping local scout works.
In canada, btw.
Hi,
My Maximus rom was all English and rooted. I am working in Dubai now. I have a dual sim M8 with UK and Dubai (Etisalat) sim cards. When I checked my phone this morning everything was changed to Arabic. Location is never on except for GPS mapping but not for a few days at least.
I managed to guess and find the language settings and change back to English.
I dont have mobile internet access and just use the wifi in the hotel.
It was ok last night. Its worrying that something can just change a whole phone language? Seems like a security risk somewhere?
I have worked here many times before with this and other phones and this has never happened before.
I huse Autostarts and Droid wall and try block anything that seems to be running on its own.
Any idea what can change language like this? How can I prevent this from happening?
thanks...
Hi guys/girls,, I bought a galaxy watch a few months back from eBay, brand new.
I was told it was a UK version, but typically once I received it, the box said Bulgaria or somewhere on the label, but as it was a good price and unopened I didn't complain (even though I specifically asked if it was the UK version!), as its possible to change the language on the initial startup screen. So that's what I did, and all has been fine since, great watch, very pleased.
I have never updated the firmware, so still on original factory ROM etc.
Thing is, I read somewhere that since Samsung has released the new updates, the icon has disappeared on Startup where you select the language. So I have never updated due to worrying that the watch will be stuck in Bulgarian.
Is there any chance that someone running the latest update could do a reset to see if the change language option is still there? I've been through all the settings and I can't find anywhere to change the language (I don't need to yet as I haven't updated, but just having a look)..
Thanks .
Mine was similar to yours and I received a Portuguese version instead of a UK, after I changed the settings to UK my language setting disappeared as well.
But what I understand is that from now on your watch will use the same language setting that is on your phone.
Now this is just a guess, but I would presume that after you have updated your watch the language setting should still reflex the same setting as your phone.

OK thanks for the fast reply, but yes that's also what I have read, that the watch reflects your phones language.. Was just hoping that someone could confirm this for sure before I try as I doubt its possible to downgrade if it went wrong
Well in case anyone is wondering, ive updated and is still in English..
