I'm a new and proud WP7 owner of the HTC Trophy7.
My only problem is that I'm from Norway and can't get the marketplace stuff... Anyone know a way to bypass this? Would be epic if anyone did.
you have to create a live id or zune id on other country other than norway.

Hi, I live in Costa Rica (much less supported country), and what I did is that I changed my Hotmail settings for country and address, and I wrote a US address (whatever you can find). Please be advised that it can only be changed once every 12 months I heard, so be sure if you really want to make the change. But this way you don't have to create a new hotmail address, you just keep your contacts and now you can donwload at least free apps and trials from US marketplace.
Remember to change your phone's and also your PC's "locale" (Control Panel) to USA too.
Regards.

As of today i'm the proud owner of an Artemis to...
Coming from an MDA 3 this thing is a huge leap forward
The only thing that kinda bugs me is that i havent been able to find any MSN like apps on it.
It seems that Pocket MSN only goes as far as Winmobile 2003, perhaps any of you have a solution here?
Mine has Pocket MSN on it. Original ROM with no mods to it bought from Expansys. Not sure why your's wouldn't. In a pinch, you could use: http://mobile.msn.com to use the web version of it. Gives you everything except MSN Messenger but you can search the forums here for the Live Messenger Beta.

Contacts to Address Book
hey guyz,
has anyone tried that file i post the other day.
i installed it and used it for a good 1hr. the only thing i was not happy with was the first time you use it, it asks do u want to add contacts to device address book. the only options you have is OK for yes and Cancel. Do cancel and you cant login. So its forcing you add the contacts, which i dont really want. I was wondering if anyone knows how to get around this??

ok i thought would be smart and delete the contacts from the device...hmmm not the best idea. Seems that it deleted the contacts within msn messenger as well.
anyone know i dont know how to get them back. without typing each one of my 200 contacts
why do microsoft have to make things so difficult
UPDATE 15/12/06 22:00
hi guys just to update you on this issue with the contacts. got my normal msn contacts back, thank god i do backups.
i have synced my MDA with my Apple mac and its built-in address book. Something i noticed on the MDA contacts was that there was one contact whose number, email/msn, address i had. and in his details it had his msn email under a field called IM (instant messeging). So i went back to my Mac Address book to see if it had similer field... and yep it did. So i spent a good 1hr changing all my 200 contacts email field into IM field...
Re-Synced the MDA and computer.... *wants to rip hair out*.... thats right no luck. Now my mda address book doesnt reconise the IM field from the Mac Address book...so the mda has no EMAILS at all now.
Hi all.
My Orbit has MSN installed, but instead I use the free Agile Messenger. Here's from the developers:
"Agile Messenger is the most feature rich and versatile Instant Messenger for mobile phones on the market today. Agile Messenger is used daily by over 2,000,000 users and has been perfected based on feature requests and feedback from tens of thousands of users. No other mobile Instant Messenger is as mature and reliable as Agile Messenger. "
You can get it here: http://www.getjar.com/products/5317/AgileMessenger
only about 500k file. Oh yeah, did I mention it's free?
Damn, I had to edit this post...this WAS free, I can see now that there's only a free trial. Well as they grow, the greed grows with them I guess... Even when I installed the previous FREE version after starting the program they FORCED me to upgrade, and then the upgraded app informed me that it will expire in 7 days unless...well you know.
ok, so just to do a quick recap.
I installed the above posted file, all went well, my contacts were imported and are now in my device address book and they are still on my msn on my PC.
What should I not do (or do) to not lose all my contacts?
oh and can the good gentleman that helped me before please tell me how to make a back up of my MSN contacts. CHeers

hi will,
congrats installing it.
this is the problem everyone is facing with live messenger. theres a thread about this problem.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=282540
one thing you DEF DONT!!! want to do (speaking from experiance lol) is delete the contacts from your device - Do that and contacts from your contacts PC msn messenger will happly be removed also.
if you want to back-up your PC msn that should be very easy. My experinace is based on msn on Apple Mac. Shouldnt be too different on Windows. YOu simply go to File > Save Contact List ... And choose a location to want.
Hope that helps.
Syncing on a mac

hi rawedge,
the 2 ways i know of syncing is two apps
1) great app called Missing Sync can be found at here and is great syncs iCal, Address, Time, Photos, iTunes, etc see website for more details. Its one of the best app i have used for syncing.
2) the other one is called PocketMac i think this app doesnt have support for WM5 yet but should do soon.
http://www.pocketmac.net/
this is what there website says about WM5
"Windows Mobile 5:
We are currently testing cumulative updates for all of our Windows Mobile products (PocketMac Pro, PocketMac Lite and PocketMac Phone). We expect to have updates out shortly and will email all of our customers the moment they're available."
You can download both apps for a triel period, after which you have to pay for it. Altho i think Missing Sync is worth the money.
As far as i know of iSync doesnt sync with Windows Mobile platform. But i think missing sync uses some of the technology behind iSync for sync information.
Hoep this helps. Anything else just holla
thanks
I've just looked at missing sync however the artemis/02xda orbit isn't listed in their supported phones. has anyone got it to succesfully work? Don't want to fork out ££ if it's not going to work

hope it helps. if u need any more specfic info, will be happy to help

Hi Guys,
Anyone noticed that in the UK the Zune software has no podcasts listed. The PODCAST icon does not even exist.
I have to manually add my rss feeeds for each one?
anyone seen this.
Thanks
Russ
It's still very early days for Zune in Europe. I've had a Zune HD for a year and I've seen the US Marketplace and it's another world. You have more music, podcasts, a lot more movies and also (many) TV shows (plus Zune HD apps).
Hopefully Microsoft will work on that a lot more than they did with Xbox Live (Europe content is rubbish compared to the US). Apple did it, I don't see why Microsoft can't, they have to want it though.
Here's to hope...

It gets even worse if you update your Zunes through the UK version.
You lose access to the marketplace on your devices, and as late as last week you couldn't get any 'Channels' either.
Altho, now we can get some dumbed down (IMO useless) channels.
Is it possible to use my PC for UK Marketplace and my Laptop for USA marketplace?
So having access to both?
I already use a VPN service to access USA only sites like HULU with no problems..
I live in belgium and made an "belgian" live account, now I can only rent a movie, no music or apps or podcasts... We wait and see
Thanks for the confirmation everyone. Shame as they even mention adding podasts via the Zune software Marketplace on the UK windows phone site!
Hopefully its coming as I can understand Video being a rights issues internationally but Podcasts?

You can't use the same Live ID as it is be based in one location.
You'll need two ID's and Zune Pass's (1x UK 1x US) to use both at the same time.
I'm still looking for a better solution.

Have you tried setting your PC so it 'thinks' its in the US ?
You won't be able to login and buy anything (see above) but it should let you grab some Podcasts.
This trick worked for me, and allowed me to get Podcats and the Marketplace back on my Zunes. I don't have a WP7 phone yet so i don't know if it works with them.
It's easier to just get the rss and subscribe manually, at least he can use his actual Live ID and the marketplace.
Here's my problem, I have my Windows Live ID which I have used to sign into the phone. However, that Windows Live ID has an alias associated with it. When you use the email through the web interface, you can choose which alias you want to send the message from. Now, on the phone, I can't seem to do that. Has anybody figured out how to send from an alias associated with your live account?

Gonna try one last time with this, one of you guys has to have had this issue...
+1 ... same issue here ... I have searched during the last weeks but seems to me that there is no solutions for that ... sorry
If you find one - please let me know that would be great!!!
Happy New Year!!
How do i change my main account to my new windows live account? ive added my new one, but it wont register as the new one. Is it possible? or is there a registry hack?
Sadly, the only way to use a new Windows Live ID as your primary one is to do a reset, and when it asks you what Live ID you want to use, make sure you add it first. You can't switch Live IDs any time you like without a reset. And any additional Live IDs you add will not and cannot become your primary one.
Please use the forum search tool, or read the original documentation for Windows Phone 7. This question has been asked (and answered) countless times.
I believe you have to hard reset and start again. An option would be nice
I saw it before, but the thread was old, and i wasnt certain whether they had changed it in the NoDo update. but is there any registry hacks?

No. It has not been changed (if it did it would have been on the change logs most likely) and if there is a reg hack, no one has found it yet. Hard reset is the way to go.
id rather not hard rest, considering ill lose the dev hack and my apps. but if found ways to edit my live account and change the address to my gmail account, so ill work with what i have

MS considers the apps tied to the account. so moving to a new account means all those apps are lost. perhaps you should ask MS if there is a way to transfer those apps across to the new account? this is more in terms of actual purchased apps, rather than free apps.

You can change windows live ID assosiated with your account.
Go to account.live.com sign in with you old account.
next to windows live ID click on "change"
put your new windows live ID
all your account details, gamertag, purchases, achievements will be transferred to the new windows live ID.

I think you can use the same Live ID on upto 3 phones, i may be wrong though but no you cant use 2 different IDs on the same phone. Your main Live ID is linked to Xbox and Zune also on your phone.
Hey, wondering if you guys can help me out. I have an Android phone and I think I'm going to WP7. Do I need a Windows Live ID?
Disclaimer:::: I don't play games so I wont use Xbox and I don't use hotmail or windows live messenger. So basically do I need one and why?
yes, why? because you might need one later on. I believe you can use your phone without setting an id but you probably can't use some of the services.

You will if you want access to skydrive. You can upload your images/videos there after you take them.
I believe you can use your gmail account as your live id too
If you want to interact with any of Microsoft services you'll need a Live ID. This includes interacting with the app store. I imagine Android is similar with its market as well? I know Apple requires an account.

Yes you can. I just set one up and I used my Gmail. Much appreciation.
Use a windows live id to set the phone up and then forward it to whatever other account you use for email and stuff.
