Im tired of this. Ive reinstalled windows phone 7 four freaken times!!!! and i STILL cant get the music + video player to work. What heck am i doing wrong??? The music player should be working WITHOUT live services! I click on the tile and it shows "loading" and then it just takes me back to the home screen??? Same when i record a video. When i wanna play it it just takes me back to the home screen. Can anyone help me please. Ive already tired restarting, hard resetting, and reinstalling the whole rom. Its not working. I think im the only one with this problem -_- im frustrated so much. Has anyone else had this happen to their rom?

Don't be affraid to call M$.

The person I spoke with really didn't speak that good of english but I did understand the activation code when he was saying it to me ;)

They only asked me for 3 things,

My name, my email and my phone number.

I asked him which phone number he wanted and he said any number thats best for you.

I did tell him I would take phone back if I can't get it activated.

Good luck!

Since I don't live in the UK or USA.. is it not possible for me to call microsoft for the activation key?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] hecatombercm:
extended battery

anyone had any luck with the extended battery, and their new hd2to7 convert? I used mine yesterday, it ran the phone fine but it seemed slow to charge, and did not seem to charge at all when the phone was off. It is important to note that I do have a bent pin(middle battery terminal) in the phone so I have to watch extra carefully when I swap batteries or the battery does not charge with any OS.

To those taking note of different experiences getting activation key from Microsoft. I called 6am Pacific Time 1/15/11 they asked my name, number, email, and phone make (not model). They asked me if I could hold while a key was generated, about 30 seconds later they read the key off over the phone. So I feel pretty comfortable. I mean by the time I did this, Microsoft had to know what was going on here, the entire mobile-tech-blog-osphere is lit up and visible from space. If I wasn't afraid to be the guy that tipped them off, Id call em and ask, "my friend did this to my phone without my knowledge do you guys care?"

I think you may have missed my question. The HD7 is working fine and already works well. How do I display the code that's in use on the HD7 so that I can enter it into the HD2. It appears that the code is generated by using the phone number, live ID and email address. This is the same for both the HD7 and the HD2 so I want to try the working HD7 activation code on the HD2.

Can anyone suggest a Radio to use for WP7 on the TMO US HD2?? I got everything set up including the Live activation, but my device keeps restarting on its own and freezing. I end up having to do a battery pull almost every 5-10 minutes to restart it.

I know restarting is in the list of bugs, but is it really happening this often for others? I'm starting to think its an issue with my radio. I have 2.10.50.08_2 flashed.

Also, whats really strange with the restarts is that sometimes it starts in a seperate profile where my data is gone as if I just did a hard reset, but then I softreset and its all back.

Any suggestions??

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] justqt:
I had that problem earlier, switched to different usb port and it installed.

But I'm sure you already tried that.

Try this, plug in your phone, usb to pc.

Goto Control Panel, Device Manager and when that opens up right-click and select scan for hardware changes then it should show an error

on one of your usb ports... Click uninstall, un-plug usb and plug into different usb port.

That fixed mine.

Usb ports can get a little buggy and confused..

Yup! same here man... I can't even get the chevron to unlock my phone
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Hamburg:
You need...

The WP7 SDK from MS on your PC.

Zune on your PC and it needs to sync with the phone.

Turn off firewall and antivirus.

Right click on ChevronWP7.exe and go to properties, then go to the compatibility tab. Select Run this program in compatibility mode for Windows XP SP3 and also the box for Run as admin.

That should get the "Sorry cant connect to your phone" message go away. But then you may hit another snag... You need to go into c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc and go into the properties for the file called hosts. Make sure its NOT set to read only.

Thats about all I can remember at the moment. If I think of anyhting else I had to do, I'll edit the post.

EDIT: Oh and of course you need the certificate installed on your device.

I noticed that many people are haveing download errors in the market. One important thing is that u only enter the code from MS after u have done the other steps. I was entering it upon the first boot of the OS and getting the same problem.So u want to skip the setup that requires the code the first time, complete all other steps in the setup process and enter the code last. If u do not do this u may have to perform the factory reset and start over.

No need to do "all" the steps
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Monty Burns:
Problem is,

-if they sell you an upgrade to Win 7 they would have to then support it. Its unlikely they are willing or even able to do this on phones that were not designed to do it (this is why it has had to be hacked onto the HD2)

-they probably also have a license agreement with HTC, Dell, Samsung etc that clearly states the phone models, specs and more importantly - hardware buttons that have to be present. The HD2 doesn't have those.

You could try installing skype, googling some random USA number and giving them that when you use "Skype Out" to call from the USA? Maybe they are still giving them....
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Monty Burns:
Try telling them you have a Samsung Omnia or some over phone. Doesn't appear that the code is linked to the IMEA, in fact I know its not as I gave them a false one.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] russpattaya:
Tell them you have a HTC Mozart WP7 mobile. and one of your friends bought it for you from the UK and if they ask for imie number, tell them you cannot as you are calling from that mobile. Make sure you have a hotmail account, and ask them to email it to you. You will then have it on record.

Best of luck
