[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurdland:
Hi guys!

First i would like to say if the moderator thinks that this thread should be in another section, please just move it ;)

Okay here what i want to share with you guys

I've been using hotmail service since 2003 and i hade my account registered in USA. When i bought my windows phone HTC HD7 and tried to buy some apps, i realized that i can't do it coz i can't add a swedish CC to my US account. The only solution i found in different forums, was to make another account (a swedish one) and use it as my primary account in wp (Which i didn't want to do)

Yesterday i found a way to buy apps with my US account still being the primary account. Here is how i did it:-

Prerequisites:-

1. You need dev/introp-unlocked device.

2. You need a reg.editor. I used WP7 root tools 0.9 (Thanks to Heathcliff74).

On PC:-

1. Get yourself a new hotmail account, in your own country.

2. Get a zone and xbox ID associated with the new account.

2. Add a CC to this new account.

On Phone:-

1. Use your reg.editor and navigate to

[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\IdentityCRL\Environment\Production]

2. Change the DefaultID to your new hotmail account

"DefaultID"=your_new_id@hotmail.com (Thanks to xboxmod and all ppl who participate in WP7 registry tweak thread)

3. Reboot phone.

4. Now you can buy everything you want using the new hotmail account. OBS!!! If you buy games DO NOT start the game yet.

5. If you think you're satisfied, re-do step 1&2 (On Phone section) using your original account.

6. Reboot phone.

7. Enjoy your new purchased apps. Now you can play your new games and all your achivements will be associated with your original account ;)

Hope this little tweak helps you guys.

Special thanks to all the XDA community.

Thanks man!

Same problem here, unfortunately :-(

I am not ready to give uo my Live ID associated with a en-US zone as well!

But how do you think it will behave when it will founf an update?

Probably it will give an error saying that the app isn't listed in the purchase history of the en-US live ID. And you have to do your trick, update, then revert again the changes.

Maybe some devoted dev can implement it in a small app, that would be great!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurdland:
Hi

Well to be honest i thought about this and i guess you are right, ie. you have to re-tweak the phone, then update and lastly revert back to the original ID.

I really wish if someone can put this in a small app for us all ;)

[HTC Amaze 4G] F9zSlavik:
I was just curious, 3.6 looks pretty much the same as 3.0. Little disappointed, I feel that 4.0.3 can't shine through the sense theme. I installed CM9 on my buddy's Sensation and it looks fantastic.

[HTC Amaze 4G] ChromeJob:
Claims that they (HTC, T-Mobile, anyone) don't want to "disrupt" our user experience with 3.0 on the Amaze are BS, IMHO. Problems with Sense 3.0 do NOT need to be continued ... and the enhancements due with Sense 4.0 are, I think, owed us. I bought this phone specifically because an ICS update in 2012 had already been promised.

I want landscape home screens. I want Car Mode restored. I want a better Dock Mode.

If ICS arrives with same ol' Sense overlay, and the problems I've had with three handsets not fixed, I may not even update.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Drzfr3shboialex:
HTC said sense 4 was built for s4/tegra 3.

[HTC Amaze 4G] dharvey4651:
Yeah but it doesn't seem like we have anybody driven to port Sense 4.0. Tis a shame because it seems like it really improved on a lot of weak points that exist in all current Sense UI versions prior to 4.0.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ziggy46:
I'm gonna take a crack at it possibly... I just want to get my phone activation straight first. (Tmobile sent me a invalid activation code with my sim card)

[HTC Amaze 4G] F033x:
hmmm what about the one v, its sporting an s2 and seems to run sense 4.0 fluidly.

then again it doesn't include almost any of the animations but still something to be considered.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ChromeJob:
That's even more bull****, industrial strength. The Snapdragon processor in the Amaze is certainly up to to the job. You've probably heard that the AT&T One X will have an S4, which isn't too different from the S3 in the Amaze.
[HTC Amaze 4G] hd2joel:
S4 not different from s3??????? I'd Google that. It has very significant improvements! Even at the same core # and clock speed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bara2:
Since about a week I'm having the following problems:

It is extremely difficult to get my phone running ICS. I tried like 10 different ROMs, the only one currently working is Dark Knight. In between I managed to run CM9 Nighlty (2 days) and Infinitum 2.2 (3 days)

Why is it so difficult? Well - I believe, I'm doing all the correct steps: Flashing JVZ with Odin, rebooting, flashing CF Root, rebooting. Enter CWM, wipe data, cache, dalvik, format system -> Install any ICS rom

Currently, CM9 doens't work at all, I get boot loops after the initial reboot and can't enter recovery

Well, when I finally manage to install any rom (method: install Dark Knight - 5.5 atm - install any rom afterwards - my phone boots up correctly and is perfectly usable

But: Whenever I reboot, I keep getting boot loops with no chance of entering recovery. None of the usual methods work.

Stupid thing: I don't need to reboot. But every other day the phone tends to reboot itself (at least that is what I experienced and sorta guess)

Result: I take it out of my pocket or look at it on my desk and see boot loops after 2 or 3 days

What can I do, why is that? I don't want to run Gingerbread :(

I am not a noob - I have been running any rom before for one and a half years without problems and flashed mostly without any problems

Believe me - I have tried everything for several days. Flashing the recovery fix with Odin doens't help either. Afterwards I am a able to boot intro recovery but can't install any rom due to build.prop errors. However, I can flash a kernel... Result: boot loop. Solution: Start over with Gingerbread and Odin :(

The more I think about it, the more I belive there could be an underlying hardware problem. Maybe something with the internal NAND?

I am greatful for any help or new ideas which I haven't tried so far... Thanks a lot in advance!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaharofir:
I know it's a long shot, but maybe you have issues with datadata folder? Use root explorer and see how much free space you have there...

Maybe try this:

After Odin, When in CWM, flash first a new kernel (try devil.072). Make sure to mount folders with CWM before. After flushing, go to advanced and reboot recovery. Now you have a new version of CWM (which supports screen tuch...). Now, from mounts and storage, format everything. Now flush the rom you want - in this case, I recommend Slim 3.4. Don't install anything yet - just let it run after flushing. Just login to your google account.

See if it works.. hope it helps
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bara2:
Thanks a lot! Unfortunately, it didn't work.

I tried your method which didn't even end up in a bootloop but in recovery after every flash/try to reboot.

/edit: Speaking of reboots - I tried to install CM9 afterwards/instead -> boot loop :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BladeZero:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bara2:
Yes, I wipe everything and tried JVZ and JVU as a starting point. Are there any other recommendations?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaharofir:
which firmware are you odining? maybe bad download?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swent:
Just try it again but do NOT select reboot recovery. It is a common bug that you won't be able to leave recovery again. Just reboot the phone and be sure to quickly press 3 button combo again to get into recovery again. You should then be able to format / reflash and so on. Just make sure you never select reboot recovery when you just came the long way from odin. In doubt just do as I stated: normal reboot and press 3 button combo quickly.

Good luck!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BladeZero:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bara2:
Ok, That shall be my next try :-) Btw: Another strange effect: I flashed Dark Knight 5.5, did nothing but click through the setup assistant rebooted - and voilà - boot loop.

Will report back in a few minutes ;) Thanks a lot, guys!

/Edit: Well - a litte success... I was able to boot into the system. First thing I did was change lcd density and rebooted - everything was fine. As I didn't have wifi or data connection I wanted to flash another kernel (devil) and hit reboot recovery from the power menu.

--> Boot loop again.

To the other guys: I tried JVU and JVZ with different downloads and two different laptops. Which starting base should I try next?

/Edit2: I'm going to stay on Gingerbread for the day. I need my phone and intend to enjoy the fantastic weather for the rest of the day... Will be back this evening. I am glad for further feedback and ideas :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BladeZero:
Umm well I use jvu and have no problems. This might sound stupid but when I had a similar prob (I flashed a kernel on dark knight 4 and got into a bootloop and couldn't enter recovery) I did a factory restset after backing up my SD card data and flashing jvu, then I reflashed jvu. Rooted, wiped rebooted recovery, wiped again, rebooted recovery again, then I flashed dk 3 then dk 4 without a wipe, the restored my apps and copyed my SD data back - I hadn't been able to flash a rom since the bootloop I got it working with dk 3 but then I got no boot animation and I just stopped there, the above process worked for me I know u on dk 5.5 but try dk 3 you should find the link in the dk thread around April 12-16 this year.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swent:
You may flash the new kernel right away after flashing the desired rom. Maybe that would stabilize everything... can't make any more sense of it right now, sorry :/ Maybe you could try to use the ultimate kernel cleaning script AFTER flashing the rom and BEFORE flashing the new kernel (with no reboot in between).

Script is somewhere out there, I'm gonna search it right now...

[HTC One X] lostsoul:
Hi, I sold my SGS2 and bought the One X thinking it would be at least a smooth as the SGS2.

But its not! I've installed the latest Leedroid without sense, but still in general the phone is laggy.

Especially when scrolling in apps and stuff.

Also Go Luancher EX, wich was the fastest on my SGS2 is so laggy, especially when scrolling in widgets like the calendar widget.

What's going on here, isn't this supposed to be a beast of a phone?!
[HTC One X] Spewy1:
It's not the phone it's the apps that are not optimised for ics. Had the same problem with the Nexus.

You will find that things improve over the next few months as developers update their apps and Google tweak ics.

I had the s2 too which was great but love the hox so much more.
[HTC One X] lostsoul:
Hmm ok.

I was actually thinking of selling it, and to go for the SGS3 when it comes out, but the problem could be the same on that phone then?
[HTC One X] woundtrauma:
I tried it from shop and it was fast like a hellhound. Don't blame your phone if you are using custom ROM. It's new technology. Be patient. Okay I can't test it yet in long scale because it looks like my friend has signed my parcel. I gave my keys when I left the apartment. When weekend is over, I can tell my experience with this phone.

So long my gf is all I got... :P
[HTC One X] audiobookman:
I agree with the previous comments, my one x had to be reset twice to factory because it had slowed down painfully slow in the first few days of ownership.

I've now only installed the apps that have been upgraded (check reviews for ics problems).

Since I've been more careful with the apps my phone has been flying with no slow downs in the last week.

I find it weird apps that are not running can affect the phone so badly, cest la vi.

Back up your files (even though you shouldn't lose them) and reset, you will be happy with the phone again

[HTC One X] jfrock25:
I swithed over to Apex launcher today. Took most of the day to get it all setup the way I like it. Apex runs very very smooth!!! Wigets on every screen.

Stock was sooooo laggy it was driving me crazy. You do lose alot of the sense wigets which sucks but I spend the day downloading and finding some good ones.

This should work for me if or until HTC fixes the issue.
[HTC One X] lostsoul:
Well Leedroid is fast, but I guess the problem is ICS. I mean the scrolling lag in many apps, including the widgets in my previous favo launcher: go launcher ex.

Nova is much smoother indeed, but the icons on homescreen are misaligned.

I mean they are to high, and at the bottom there's to much open space.

Is that the same for everybody?

Is it possible to login to my Skydrive via Total commander ?

Thanks for advice.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] MXT3:
Interesting idea, I know that you can use WebDAV to access your skydrive, and after some googling I found this WebDAV plugin for total commander: http://ghisler.fileburst.com/ce/webdav.arm.cab

It's and old beta. I haven't tested it yet, and I also don't know if there is any newer version.

You can get the WebDaV url by opening or saving something from or to skydrive with Office, I tink. It's a bit tricky to copy it and then to send it your phone, but you only have to do it once. I don't know if there is an easier way, somebody does?

that would be a nice option to have. sometimes the phone feels "too tall" to reach the power button and pressing the side button while it lays on a table is much easier too.

I would highly recommend avoiding this app. I installed, played with for a few minutes then put in my pocket for the drive home from work. When I got home, my phone was locked up, too hot to hold and upon reboot, I had no data connection. Literally nothing I tried returned my data until I did a full wipe and nandroid restore losing a week of data. The app didn't even work reliably in the first place...maybe 1/3 times would it unlock as promised.
[HTC One S] orangmanplayer:
Ok, I'll experiment it later with my jeans. Do you remember the settings for your sensor? (sensitivity, how long will sensor be on). Can you suggest an alternative to wake up the phone w/o using power button?

Some say no lock can wake phones via volume key but that doesn't work on my one s.
[HTC One S] user2120:
Brief instructions

It's quite easy actually. Here is a very brief overview.

1. Unlock the bootloader

2. Install a recovery

3. Install something like SuperSu

4. In /system/usr/keylayout/keypad_8960.kl, replace the "key 114 .... " line with "key 114 POWER WAKE". Voila! Now it works, but not when it goes to deep sleep to fix that

5. do this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2038726.

[HTC One S] user2120:
Hey, sorry for the late reply. Indeed, a button won't fulfil 2 purposes at the same time. What I do when I want to lower the volume is press the volume_up button. At this point a scroll bar appears on the screen. I then lower the volume by sliding the bar :cowboy:
[HTC One X] lostsoul:
I like the sense widgets, but since trying other launchers I've come accustomed to having no ugly texts under icons.

Also, I always make the icons a bit smaller. I just think it looks sleeker...

Can it be done for Rosie?
[HTC One X] clandes:
For homescreens and dockbar you can use Desktop Visualizer. Doesn't work in App Drawer though. For changing icons in the dockbar you need to open the app itself instead of using widgets and don't forget to tic "Encode" or the icons will revert back to standard.
[HTC Desire S] Daum Ex:
I'm not a n00b when it comes to stuff like this. I was flashing phones since ever, the last one being HD2, flashing HSPL etc, but these newer HTC devices confuse me a bit, and no help article here on XDA didn't explain in detail what's what about Desire S flashing.

Now i've bought a second hand Desire S and have noticed things aren't the same like with HD2.

The phone bootloader looks like this:

*** LOCKED ***

SAGA PVT SHIP S-OFF RL

HBOOT-2.00.0002

RADIO-3822.10.08.04_M

eMMC-boot

Now i figured what s-off is, but this LOCKED sign above confuses me so i'm restraining myself from flashing untill i'm sure which way i'm going.

Also, what's fastboot option in the bootmenu? (i'm also pulling the battery out to get out of the menu, don't wanna reboot through that fastboot just in case)

So, anyone care just to point me in short what to do?

I'd like to unlock the phone completely so i can root it and flash it later on.

Better safe than sorry.

Thanks everyone
