Access to marketplace

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.

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.

[Q] internet explorer

When you're on internet explorer and click the search button it sends you to Google search why? How can I change it to search with bing? Thanks
Mobile Providers can do it.. yet don't know how.
On my Mozart it does the annoying T-mobile search, even with an unlocked phone. I don't understand the reason. The boot logo is t-mobile, too. It has no branding on package, hardware or providers. Just the Software thing.
so btm I'm also curious to know how to change the IE mobile search... Any ideas?
i believe that's the carrier modifications... not sure if it can be overriden at this stage... hopefully MS provides capabilities to set our own defaults... please bring this for the next update...
Someone wants to remove Google from their IE as search engine here.
http://social.answers.microsoft.com...7/thread/bd17655c-b07c-420a-8cf0-ca5af80646d9
no help
no I still can't find a solution to this issue
T-Mobile or your carrier changed the settings on your phone. I don't know why, you are buying a Microsoft product that has alot of Bing in it regardless. Your only hope is that Microsoft gives people the option to change this in the future or that T-Mobile (or your carrier) comes to their senses and puts Bing back as the default in a carrier pushed update.
Even if the only options were a radio button that said "crap the carrier got paid for" and "Bing", would be a nice option, Bing is best on these phones so far, and I like Bing and google near equally

Missing/Broken Features in Mango Maps

I have the following issues in the maps application after upadting to mango. would be interested to see if others have the same issues.
1) The option to set maps to "rotate with my current direction" does not do anything. Maps always stay facing north, even when dricing directions are listed.
2) No voice announcements for driving directions, this was well publicised in several videos. I cannot see the options for "tap screen to announce next turn" under setting anywhere.
Anyone else verify these are bugs/missing features (I am in UK on o2 carrier on standard HTCHD7 - no hacks)
So:: 63 views and no replies? Somone on mango must be able to confirm if they see that issues as me...

As far as I remember voice notifications are region specific and not available in every country. Concerning your issue with the map rotation, I can only assume that this uses the compass feature of the device. Now if you lack the correct drivers for that feature, which many users seem to struggle with, it simply won't work. Works fine for me though.

1) My map rototes when I was driving yesterday to follow my direction of travel.
2) Correct, No voice annoucements, very annoying! Although just reading the large instructions isnt too bad I suppose.
I am also an UK O2 user with a HD7, which I forced to Mango.

I also forced to mango, but I`m left thinking that my compass driver is not working or completley missing. I think I will flash a pre-nodo O2 rom and re-apply the update.

I have a Samsung Omnia 7 and I forced the Mango update. During the update I did see the Samsung Firmware update take place first. I had the same problems with the map rotating feature then found out that it only works when you have set directions to somewhere and leave the direction list on screen. Saying that you must also be on the correct path (the blue line on the map) set for you by bing. You will see that the line will straigh down the middle of the phone and when you come to a turning it will turn the map to get it back to the middle (rotating with your current direction). It lame that it just doesnt work without all that but still that how i have found it to work on the Omnia 7.
me too
Just got my 02 UK HD7 back from HTC after a warranty claim. The phone came back with official mango on it and no option to activate audio in maps.
I think thus must be a UK nanny state thing. As the authorities don't want us having to tap the screen to hear the direction as this is how the TBT in mango works
Either that or 02 have blocked it because they want to sell us something instead !
Typical
Custom rom flash me thinks !!!!
Not an O2 thing as I forced Mango on my sim free Omnia 7, have the OEM firmware update too and no voice here either

Internet Sharing was part of the Mango update. If it's not enabled on your device, you'll need a firmware update with the appropriate drivers from your OEM. As far as I've heard (or to be more precise read), hacks and/or unlocks won't be affected by this new OS update.

No access to Mobile Network in Settings
I'm using an LG Optimus 7 on Vodafone UK and set the cab to my device.
It accepted the update and everything seems fine although I now cannot access the Mobile Network settings - it starts to open, you get the transition and then it just snaps back.
Anyone know how I can get it back via a registry tweak or whatever?

Looks like the update made the official Windows Phone site. Hopefully they update the "Where's My Update" section soon

Where's My Update - Community Edition

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.

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.
