I guess they have to sign agreements with UK retailers to get us UK results so that when we scan, say Gears of War 3, we get results from Amazon, Game, Tesco, etc.

I'm pretty sure there's at least one 3rd party app that does it so I don't get why a massive corporation like Microsoft can't do it.

Haven't tried navigation as Londoners don't really need to own a car :p

I factory reseted my phone because i thought it would fix my missing feature of smart dj and lock screen album art. It did appear after but, when i synced my live email the functionality vanished. I have an unlocked unbranded omnia 7 and live in canada but all my settings are set to us. so wtf, i want those features, anyone have a clue? i have a feeling its to do something with my windows live email.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
Found another annoyance. When I try Smart DJ on my phone I get this message:

I've done this and Smart DJ still can't work. Anyone else having issues?
[Windows Phone 7 General] CAH000:
I'm also UK based.

In relation to the earlier query about Bing Vision, in the Region Language settings the only setting you need to change to English (US) is browser and search language - Bing Vision works for me with UK items/codes with this setting.

Smart DJ is also working so don't know whether it is related to the above setting too. Start a piece of music playing from the music you have on the device, and then select "play smart dj mix" - I guess you realise you need a Zune pass for Smart DJ to select similar music from the Zune market catalgue.
[Windows Phone 7 General] BigwaveMx:
when i play a song and lock the screen, no artist image is showed. Only a degraded windows appears. I have the option enabled. My phone is a Samsung Focus sim unlocked.

And SmartDJ option is not available in my cel. In Zune, SmartDJ works fine.

Any ideas?
[Windows Phone 7 General] acefiredx:
Same. I can only see song and artist info, but the wallpaper is some kind of pink rainbow thing - no idea where it came from.
[Windows Phone 7 General] VelJharig:
Wait a minute... some of have been trying to get Zune hub artwork for a long time from Canada (without getting a US Live ID/Zune account). I've already got my locale set to US for local search functions. Was the Zune hub artist backgrounds a change from Nodo for you?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
I don't want to set my region to the US that's ridiculous. Yes it will scan items but I don't see the point in getting US results, that's just stupid.

I had a Zune HD and Smart DJ was working without a Zune Pass and it works on my PC so I don't understand why it doesn't work on my phone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] BigwaveMx:
Yeah, thats what i'm talking about. I think that feature is only for US phones. I'm from Mexico and my Zune account is from mexico. I had to modify some keys in regedit (windows 7) to get SmartDj feature. I think we can unlock this feature for none US phones trought regedit. I check it out.

EDIT: Any one with full features can post the values under HKEY Current User\Software\Zune? I only have this:

[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
Are your songs properly linked in Zune? Does it show the artist image in the background of the Zune player and on the Zune tile?
[Windows Phone 7 General] DJRedLine:

You need to have a Zune Pass in order to see album art on your lock screen. It won't work any other way. If you want to see local scout all u need to do is change ONLY "Browser & search Language" to English (United State), everything else should be ok left as your own county and language.

ps. Canada is finally getting zune pass on october 3 for $9.99/month, but no 10 free download. zuneinsider.com
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
That's wrong, I have album art on my lock screen without a Zune Pass. Can't get Smart DJ to work though but it works on the PC.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
Yeah but you would get US results which is beyond useless if you're not in the US yourself.
[Windows Phone 7 General] skwarek:
This is only Browser and Search language your changing not the System Locale (which would change everything to US eg. miles instead of km) Not sure about UK, but I get local Canadian results. Plus, i can scan CD or Books, but it then tries to redirect me to marketplace where it says that it's unavailable. As for the album art, it might be because you guys have a zune music marketplace. We don't have it yet in Canada so we don't get album art. I was able to purchase a song over zune in Canada since they are testing it, but still don't get the album art (not even the songs i purchased). I am not 100% sure, but pretty sure I read somewhere that you need zune pass (or maybe zune music marketplace needs to be enable in you country) or album art to work on lock screen. I have the option enable in my settings and still only get the pink wallpaper instead of album art. It would be great if you can try it on you phone in UK and see if you actually get lucky like we do in Canada. Please let me know if you don't mind.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
I have no Zune Pass and the album art shows up on the lock screen. There's a music marketplace in the UK so it may be down to that, I also used Zune Social Tagger to link my songs to the Zune database.
[Windows Phone 7 General] oscard:
one of the features is having RMS client (rights managment server) client; another feature is lync client
[Windows Phone 7 General] henry084:
Other than that 5 EU languages, you cannot even search the way on your Map, not to mention Local Scout. You can just find where you are.:(
[Windows Phone 7 General] AbbzTract:
Hey guys,

i just updated from 7712 to 7720 aka Mango and its like the update has gone backwards or something because when I press the Search buton, only 3 icons are visible i.e. the Bing Music icon isnt there. So can anyone please tell me if thats how its meant to be is not?

Cheers guys.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
Could be that Bing Music isn't supported in your country.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Strider88:
My app list lacks quick jump, the letters aren't there.

Any idea why?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
You don't have enough apps ;)

[Windows Phone 7 General] Justinhopaolo:
lockscreen music wallpaper doesnt work for me. all i see is red background when playing music. even if i have album covers in zune.
[Windows Phone 7 General] pwachleman:
Zune doesn't use album art for the lockscreen but artist art, and I've learned they dont have artist art for everyone...yet.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Justinhopaolo:
Alright.. Bummer haha
[Windows Phone 7 General] articuno1_au:
Local Scout works in Australia for what it's worth >.<

I, however, cannot get voice navigation working.

The setting simply isn't in my Maps options :\

Any suggestions?
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
As far as I remember this is US only. Or US and UK, don't know. I don't have built in voice navigation over here in Germany either. I don't care though, since I use Navigon an GPS Tuner Turn by Turn Navigation.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
Maybe somebody here will help, since the thread was deleted from here and left in WP7 Q&A...

So is that possible to effectively change my Hotmail's local/country settings?

Zune keeps saying my PC and Hotmail country don't match what is complete absurd since I changed my Hotmail in sett. to Poland and I don't want to change my PC settings of course.

And of course my Phone uses the same account for everything which works just fine.

So how this can be done? Just don't tell me it's not possible.
[Windows Phone 7 General] maddog497:
From my research, Album or artist artwork is available only if Zune Music Marketplace is available in your country. It is coming to Canada October 3rd. Hopefully this fixes this as it is a cool feature.
[Windows Phone 7 General] poloche:
I live in French... And Zune Marketplace Music is available in my country ! ... but i have not the artist artwork in my lockscreen with music synchronised by USB... Just only with Music downloaded or listen with Zune server !
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
So nobody knows?
[Windows Phone 7 General] </travis>:
Oh I know.

Let me explain it from the top.

You can change your live ID's country, but if you already signed up in Zune, then it will use your live ID's current location and set it as default and this can no longer be changed. However, your live ID's country can still be changed but this won't affect your Zune account, so there's no point of changing your live ID's country settings

after

signing up for a zune account.

In your case, it sounds like you already have signed up for a zune account, so you can no longer change your country settings in zune.

This is Microsofts big problem, for example, you signed up for a live ID in a country where zune music marketplace isn't supported, but then years later you migrate to another country where it supports it, and you can't change your zune settings, what happens? Nothing, you can't access it

unless you create another live ID just specifically for that country.

But what about your purchased apps/movies/games? They all go away, you will have to re-purchase them using your new account.

So, there, its pretty much useless if you use a US live ID in another country, because with this, you would have to purchase stuff in USD and get locations and search results from US. Though there are some benefits like Zune Pass and music marketplace.

So for your problem, you're stuck with your zune account in US, or whichever country it was before you changed your hotmail to Poland. So what you can do now is match your zune's country with your PC's location so you can sign in. Your phone works fine because it doesn't really depend on your hotmail's country settings, it depends on your zunes country settings. Thats why very limited countries have Zune Music marketplace/Zune Pass.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
Thank you. That's clear.

So it means I will never be able to use Zune unless I will create completely new Hotmail account?

Lol that means I can say bye to WP7 and MS ****ing idiots without brain. Lol, what a brainless company.

It's hard to believe they ****ed up another simple thing. They will probably never really learn anything.
[Windows Phone 7 General] george232:
I don't have artist artwork either, and I know for sure I had it before Mango...and I still have it in the Zune software. What kind of bull**** is this?

This whole Zune account thing and inability to change your Windows Live ID without resetting your WP7 phone to factory defaults is so lame.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickyiswhite:
so im trying to send my phone to htc for warranty cause there is a problem with my lcd screen, a few problems though

i followed the unroot guide then got up to the point where you had to update with the PC10.IMG , but my screen is garbage and for some reason it wont show the boot screen, bootloader, or recovery.

im stuck in a ****ing bootloop and i know this even though i cant see it, it vibrates, then vibrates and again, and keeps vibrating.

but when i try to go into the bootloader it doesnt vibrate or anything but the LED goes of if im charging it so im guessing its still going into bootloader even though i cant see it? but when you go into bootloader should it vibrate?

EDIT: i got adb setup, but when i run the commands

#to flash a pc10img.zip:

80	#- IF NOT IN RUU MODE, SHIP HBOOT WILL NOT FLASH THE ZIP!!!! ## RUU MODE RECREATES PARTITIONS! ##

81

82	adb reboot bootloader or fastboot reboot bootloader

83	fastboot oem rebootRUU

84	fastboot flash zip <zipname>.zip

but its giving me on error saying CANNOT LOAD

its the PC1OIMG.zip from the unlockr.com, i placed it in the platform-tools directory where adb and fasboot are located, no luck.

and Nipqer gave me like 3 hours worth of help on IRC and we still could not figure it out....

so if anyone knows what im doing wrong please help! i dont wannna spend $400 on a new phone :mad:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lynyrd65:
Please explain, locked?

Turn it off if you can. If it's being wiped yank the battery out.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luxferro:
Use adb to install cwr. Then boot back into recovery and make a nandroid backup. Then share it!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motu0083:
how would I know if it's being wiped?

I'm guessing it would be if Google found out abou it. Or if the phone was stolen.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lynyrd65:
If you can't do anything they are probably trying to. TRY TO TURN IT OFF!

After you turn it off (by any means necessary including yanking the battery), follow the tutorial for rooting you phone then make a nandroid backup of what you have using CWM then mount your phone via USB and upload the back up.

After making a back up you may be able to safely wipe your cache and data. It could provide you with a working phone and provide the rest of us with a nice treat!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motu0083:
ok, battery is out.

i'm guessing the lock will not interfere with rooting my phone?

even if i was able to root it, is my phone unuseable now because it's flagged or something?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lynyrd65:
Not necessarily, It probably is but I don't know how google's software works. If I had to guess you could probably get it working again by wiping data and cache.

Be sure to remove your sim card as well.

*Tin Foil Out*.

I'm still confused on how it's "locked"....... *looking over shoulder*
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motu0083:
idk, never experienced it before. I just assume it's what happens when you lose a phone and then remotely secure it so it can't be accessed.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lynyrd65:
Google has the ability to force ota to your phone and remote wipe

OP, if your phone works on T-Mobile 3G (not edge) follow this guide up until this point

select Recovery

then it should boot into this screen, if not then repeat the steps to download the image

at this point instead of installing a rooted rom go to back up and restore then select Backup.

wait for it to finish then connect your phone to your computer via usb then go back to the main menu and select Mounts and Storage then select mount USB storage.

search for a folder called clockworkmod on your computer and make it into a zip file. If you're awesome then you could upload it to mediafire and post the link. :)

Next select unmount after copying to your pc then go back to the main menu. Select wipe data/factory reset then select wipe cache partition. The phone is now factory reset and COULD boot.
