Phone set to Chinese Language When Adding Live ID

After setting up the phone (which I eventually got working... happy days) I've set up a Windows Live account and then used this to try access Windows Marketplace.

I get the 'Activation Failed' error message and so, after reading on the interweb, use Microsoft Chat Support to obtain an activation code.

Entering this code seems to suceed, but the phone is utomatically set to China???

Tried a couple of times now.

Anyone else experienced this and know of a workaround?

I want the region to be UK.

Cheers.

i wrote about this problem... this is problem with WP7.8 RTM and new Live accounts...

you must flash

HD2_Pdaimatejam_Rom_Wp7.5_Tango_7.10.8779.8_v8.4

(unfortunately) open new Live account on computer (dont open account on phone), add this account to phone (also need to enter activation code, no need for new)

set region on phone, download something from marketplace and this be locked region....

now you can flash WP7.8 and use Live account with locked region...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] bigglesworth:
Cool, thanks. I'll try that in a bit.

Hi, I need to replace the sd card I have in my phone with a larger capacity. I need to reinstall all over again or is there a way to replace the sd card without formatting the phone?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Robbie P:
You can copy your existing wp7 card onto your new bigger card (use 2 card method here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=913815 from step 3) but if you want to use a bigger size for wp7 partition (or the whole of the new card) you will have to backup ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2010135 )and re-flash (edit; or rather, re-install using settings/about/reset phone, with new card inserted)

Don't discount the first solution too quickly though. Even if you don't want android, you can still access the fat partition from your wp7.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] dxdy:
you need to make hard reset and cant avoid it.... but you can use WP Backup to backup apps, data, sms and others...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] kocis:
OK, thank you :good:

Hi Pdaimatejam

Now your ROM is the best.

It works very well with a Thai language.

no help for this... you must accept fact this not original device for WP and all is developed by enthusiast
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] georgekg:
Hi Pdaimatejam, grat work, great ROM, but as far as I can see WP is more turned to entertainment (and to look fancy) and far less is ours PDA, like winmo 6.5 is!

I installed this ROM and with a lot of help from dxdy I set it up to work properly. But today I noticed a strange issue. I added one contact directly to the phonebook (choose Google, and put all the information). After that I sync my Google account and when I open it on the PC there is no newly added contact in my contacts... In sync settings (in Google mail account on the phone) all the fields in Content to sync are checked - Email, Contacts and calendar (I choose to download new content on the phone manually).

Any suggestion?

THX!

edit: solved... it seems that it take some time to show on server, don't know why but... after few hours it's there :eek:

Lockscreen and ringtone

Hello I can't change the lockscreen pic with my favourite, when I choose a new pic and I press "v" to apply nothing change.

I have modified with zune the category about my music using "ringtone" but I don't find the song in the list of ringtones.

I have to trim the song and use a special codec?

Thanks

app crashes

I have a strange issue on the phone... Yesterday I install dynamic background app on the phone and everything worked OK, but suddenly it just wouldn't start. It starts and shows me the app for about a second and just get me back to the apps list... It gives me no messages, no crash report, nothing - app just closes and that's it... I try to reinstall it but nothing, still have the same issue... This issue happened with few more apps too, but they are never start correctly - from the beginning they are close itself as soon as they start... Any thoughts?

If you use the windows key as the power button though, the device won't wake, right?

I'm going to try using the phone button as power button to see if i can wake the device.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] georgekg:
soft buttons

I know that it could be a noob question, but is it possible to add some softkeys for back, home and search into the OS (like android) so we could save a little our (old) devices from ruining?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] RCOO:
I don't believe that the API's provided to the developers by the WP SDK allow that. I read that somewhere aswell.

This means that there is no "base" support by the OS for this feature, therefore, making such a functionality would require a tremendous amount of effort and it wouldn't fit well in the OS.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] georgekg:
Zune stores images and other content in My Documents\Zune\Content and there you have other folders named e.g 0100,0200... and there is all your images,sounds etc. but you can't see them under original names (like you named them on the PC)

You can see them under original names only in Zune (on HD2)

Also you can copy all the things you need on HD2 using WMDC, but in that case Zune on HD2 wouldn't see them in your collection, you must access them only via File explorer on HD2

I'd just like to say thanks to everyone. I've been an early adopter of WP starting on my HD2 then an HD7, then a Lumia 900 and now a HTX 8X. Just planning a trip to Europe and I'm having problems with the unlock of my current phone so have to pull out the old HD2. Started up right away with WP 7 so I decided to update so I could have the same experience on it as my new WP8. Everything went smooth and I am amazed at this phone that keeps on being relevant. It’s amazing!

So anyway, thanks to the devs and everyone who contributes for all your hard work! It’s very much appreciated.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] RCOO:
You can use the Cab Sender tool to backup the device... I believe it backs up the apps and its data. You can then use the Cab Sender tool to restore. I don't know if this works very well, since I never tried it.

got a strange problem..my screen stops responding on touch.. i can see the live tiles moving. buttons are working..what seems to be the problem..i tried hard reset but no avail...help pls..
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] dxdy:
if you not change anything (touch drivers, sending other cabs or other things) simply pull battery out and pull sdcard out. try wipe contacts with clean and dry soft cloth. put back sdcard and battery and turn on device.

you can try flash ROM again (to be sure first flash WM6.5 or do Task29 to be sure you clean everything from NAND, then flash magldr and WP7.8) but if frozen screen continue then problem is in your hardware (touch screen - digitizer)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] phoy18:
thanks for the reply.. i was able to find a solution..the red button seems to be the key here. try pressing it harder the usual and holah! touchscreen works now.. seems like theres a loose connection already here... hopefully this is not a quick fix only :D able to fix mine...

True, but you didn't read it well. Here is the part of the news: "Google Sync was designed to allow access to Google Mail, Calendar and Contacts via the Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync® protocol. With the recent launch of CardDAV, Google now offers similar access via IMAP, CalDAV and CardDAV, making it possible to build a seamless sync experience using open protocols. Starting January 30, 2013, consumers won't be able to set up new devices using Google Sync; however, existing Google Sync connections will continue to function. Google Sync will continue to be fully supported for Google Apps for Business, Government and Education. Users of those products are unaffected by this announcement...."

and if you want more info, here is the link ;)

and here is a part of the same news from other website much better explained: "Of course, that all said, this won't really change much if you're already a Google Sync user, because the End Of Life plan for Google Sync is currently to stop offering it as an option for new free accounts as of January 30th, 2013. If you are signing up for a paid Google Apps account, you'll still have access to Google Sync...."

and the whole news is here
