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?

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
Microsoft has announced they will no longer document update releases by carriers, but this is still useful information, so now we must keep track ourselves to know which carriers are lagging behind.
Feel free to edit this spreadsheet when you have received an update notice on your carrier (no login required):
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AuPW6_Ouc0FidG53dGQ1al9JbGtQWnQ2TTR2Q1pGaGc
Cheers
Looks Great. Although I would suggest that they are completly sorted by Country, then Carrier and then device I guess this is fine for a first version.
Maybe someone can add these changes later with the help of this forum.
Anyway, today I received 8107 but only after using the cable/network disconnect trick on my PC. Should I still mark it as delivering update?
As long as you haven't changed your branding or your ROM to a different carrier, then you can add that your carrier is delivering the update.

Unbranded probably wont get the update as there is no one to request it for you! I think that is how it is. I've forced the update on my Titan and worked perfectly fine. Very simple steps. There is link etc in the Titan forum as well as here somewhere.

hi the trick is to disconnect the WiFi (1-2 sec) on the PC after click update,right?
btw, do you have the wifi or 3g on, in the phone?

You disconnect your PC from the Internet (in my case via network cable) shortly after you start searching for updates via Zune. I actually disconnected about 5 seconds after searching started, but you can try out what works for you.
I had WiFi enabled and cellular data connection disabled (no 3G and no EDGE), although I only disabled cellular data due to my prepaid flat expiring.
can confirm that unbranded/open market phones not get the 8107 update
omnia 7 -> no update availible in germany, even with cable trick, no chance.
dell venue pro -> no update avaible in germany, even with cable trick, no chance
both no carrier brandings.
I am pissed a lot about microsofts way to schedule udpates to the people, nobody knows where and why any update will arive and there are everywhere anoyiing bugs in wp (keyboard) -> user experience is an F
What does it mean, open phones no update??? no update now, or no update never ever?? Anyway, we pay more for a open phone, to get more updates and even sooner, and at the end, we are the last.

I think open phones now get the updates much easily! We only need one carrier to release update and then using cab sender it updates right away! I did that with my unbranded Titan and it only took 8-9 minutes from point A to point B!
there is currectly no update delivery, maybe in the future but if you see microsoft community manager any carrier has to request the update ... but theres no carrier for open market phones, whats the obvious? Open market phones dont receive this update ever and get it maybe with the next (tango?) update.

I think that is a dangerous method.. If you don't update all the language cabs..
You may not get next HTC update..
So open phones users, we are screwed or what? i got the 7740 update right away. but until now no theethering for example.
yes this is the actual situation, some unbranded phones may not become wlan tethering because it depends on carrier request and dont get the 8107 update (on the official way...with hacks you can have both but this is not the point why i choose windows phone)
sad to see microsoft destroys its own system and screw away their fans
I've got a Samsung Focus (originally a Rogers phone) unlocked and using on Bell Canada network.
I did the wifi disconnect trick and got the 7740 update...doesn't this mean Roger is delivering it?

for tethering you need OEM driver update it's not only OS depended
Iosu
Samsung had the driver ready even before Mango started rolling out. In the official rollout drivers update was already softap implemented and working . I got some ROM that had older OEM drivers date than the Mango rollout and it was there too.
On the other hand, HTC was playing bad and didn't include it. No idea how LG and Dell...

i know...but if i use hack i can use internet sharing...if i dont, i am not able to use it
even on german telekom the omnia 7 users got internet sharing
i have german telekom sim but unbranded omnia 7 and dont got it
i know that the dell venue pro is not capable for this feature but omnia 7 was before mango!
When i look at 2 friends, one with branded telekom and one unbranded, both got internet sharing and no one can tell why my friend with unbranded got the update and i am not.
its not the lack of the feature, because i dont care about wlan tethering but who pushs the updates? Microsoft and they hold it back, a total inconsistents in the update process...like with 7740 as os update or even more worse the 8107 update
-> tested the cab sender and all seems to be fine for me but restored my backup because i want it on the official way and not this. I paid not only for the device, for the os, too! The update experience is just bull**** with wp, android doin it better because i can choose nexus phone (never thought i say this) and get every update immediatelly and apple do it the best way since now.
Looks like my next phone will be no windows phone, regardless that i like the system but i dont get what was promised and what i get.
The big issue here is how to confirm all this data.
Maybe some of the information is wrong.
I guess I'll try to keep the Sasktel (Canada) section current. I'm guessing there aren't too many Sasktel people on here with windows phones but I could be surprised.
Also +1 on being annoyed with this whole carrier requested updates.
At least we'll be able to come here to see what's officially available.
Just noticed today that the chat option is available in the settings menu.. It doesnt work but hey, it's there! Stop teasing me Google! ?

That only works if your carrier supports RCS. That has nothing to do with Google.

I can confirm that my regular Sim is also not getting it as well. I know RCS is supposed to be available on TMobile either now or soon, so I just can't wait until it's fully implemented. I'm sick of iMessage being the only decent first party messaging service ??
No RCS on pixel phones with T mobile. TMO only supports Samsung devices and I believe one LG phone.
Very few US carriers support Universal RCS and it's usually just a few devices if it is available. The carriers publicly state their support of Universal RCS, but clearly there is little to no motivation to switch. Right now texting uses the carrier's propriety technology and they don't want to give up that control. I doubt Universal RCS will ever reach the masses even though it is clearly a better user experience.
In a timely development, it's being reported that Google will be taking control of rsc rollout by giving uses a choice to opt into a Google service. Not in the US to start, but we will see where it goes.

Same here.
Yep, even in the Europe.
Yeah just had it in UK.
Gone again, just the date and weather showing
I got this as well in the US. I clicked on it, looked around at the map and read some of the text then dismissed it without issue. The screen wouldn't time out afterward though until I turned it off manually. Now it's back to normal. ¯\(°_o)/¯
It's gone now.
I just had the same, never seen this before and had to goggle it.

weathermen here in the UK cant even get our weather correct so I'm not sure how the Philippines can!

My emergency alerts had all been re-enabled after this months patch for some reason so i just disabled them again.

Hello.
I am living in Norway and I have the opportunity to get the Pixel watch from the UK.
Will it be restricted here so just basic functionality like notifications and health tracking will work, or can I take use of e-sim, and google pay?
Maybe there is a way to spoof it if ever it is restricted?
Thanks in advance!
Update: I got it working with help from @lxrable , all kudos to him!

Hello! I live in Sweden and i got LTE working on the Pixel Watch. I am using the carrier Telenor.
Ordered a esim from a supported carrier/country. (Vodafone De Pay as you go free esim)
Activated the eSim, and restarted my phone making sure I had connection with the supported carrier.
Launched the Pixel Watch App in my phone.
Went into the eSim/Carrier section and clicked on setting up the connection with the supported carrier.
Changed to the phone settings, and deactivated the temporary eSim and activated my primary eSim
Switched back to the Pixel Watch App, with the request to scan a QR code still active.
Scanned the QR-kod I got for smartwatch at Telenor SE

Ok. Can you elaborate what you did? And did you get LTE to work?
Hello again. I recieved my LTE Watch today.
When it come to adding E-sim to the watch it only say "set up your mobile service", but there is nothing to click after that. Seems some options should show up under the text. I talked to my provider and they said it should work.
Secondly I added my card succesfully to Google pay, but when I open Google wallet on the watch it says it's not supported in my country. Google pay on wearos should be available in Norway so can this be because of the watch not being sold in Norway?
After tinkering with the watch and the phone, I made Google Pay work by clearing data on wallet app on watch. (I did try it before, but didn't do anything then)
Has anybody been able to setup the esim in an unsupported country?
I have an esim for my Pixel watch but like others, the page to set it up in the app is blank.

Hi @hippos78 , i live in Italy too!! How did you setup the esim? I have Tim...
I was able to order an eSIM from Vodafone Germany (pay as you go, 0€).
After adding the eSIM to my phone I was able to scan the QR code of my unsupported carrier successfully.
However, my carrier requires custom APN settings, and I don't know how I can change them, so I can call, but I have no data connection.
Does anyone have any idea how I can change the APN settings on the Pixel Watch?

Good idea with the Vodafone eSim! I will do some testing when I get home in a week!
Italy here.
GPay works wonders, no way to put an eSim or another plan on it.
I have Vodafone (IT) which has a secondary plan for watches, but even after activating it, the page in the app is blank.

Did you manage to solve the APN settings problem? Can you tell me how can you get a QR or SM-DP+ code for the multipoint/ multidevice sim service, I could only get a QR for the esim which can be used in only 1 device.

Have been trying with TIM for a week. No progress yet. We can't get a QR for the multisim in Italy. Best solution so far is to use a very mobile esim on your watch (no problem with APN but different number so no calls unless watch is connected).

How you guys got those pre-paid esims from other countries? Did you actually went there? I can't see any option to send those abroad... :O (sending this from Poland, while nearest "supported" countries are DE & GB)
