[Nexus One General] justsignbythex:
I had the nexus S for about two weeks before I had to return it since T-Mobile service is horrible where I live.

I've gotta say that the S is better in most aspects. The screen is amazingly bright and easy to read in sunlight. The screen also registers fast typing much better, so I make a lot less mistakes.

Stock gingerbread is so fast and smooth.

However I didn't like the glossy plastic construction on the NS. It was a fingerprint magnet. Also, the quality control on new units were terrible.
[Nexus One General] Heulfryn:
the only thing that I keep N1 is to stay with T-Mobile $5.99 old unlimited data plan.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] arkatis:
Yeap thats right! I confirm that it works just fine..In Cyprus is not Official yet but we can make it work here and of course on any country thanks to the guy who made it!

here's how it goes:

First download and install the free Zune software from Microsoft.

Having done that, click on the Start button or orb and in the search box type regedit and hit Enter. This will open the Registry Editor.

Navigate to the following key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Zune\Features

Here double-click on Marketplace – you will see the codes of the following countries:

AT,AU,BE,CA,CH,DE,ES,FR,GB,IE,IT,MX,NL,NZ,SG,US

You will see the same value data for Apps and SignInAvailable too.

Now one after the other, in each of these three – Marketplace, Apps, SignInAvailable, modify the value data, by adding your Country code.

I just write CY (Cyprus)

It should now look like this:

AT,AU,BE,CA,CH,DE,ES,FR,GB,IE,IT,MX,NL,NZ,SG,US,CY

Exit regedit.

NOW connect your Windows Phone to your Windows Computer.

Your Zune software will automatically start and you will be alerted with a following message:

FEATURES HAVE CHANGED!

Click OK.

You will see the Marketplace tab too now, in your Zune software.

Here not only can you download Free apps, you can also BUY the Paid apps, legally!

Select the App you want and click on the FREE button to install it. If its a Paid app, you can choose to Try it first or Buy it directly.

There is one hitch. The next time you connect your Windows Phone, you may not see the Marketplace option. This means that you will have to modify the registry every time you connect it. I have therefore created this registry file which I first double-click on, to add its contents to my Windows registry, and then connect my Windows Phone to my Windows 7 computer.

ALSO CHECK WP7 MARKET PLACE ENABLER:

Do note that, you may have to first run the Enabler, before, every time you connect your Windows Phone.

works like a charm!!!! :eek::D:rolleyes:
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] zinty:
Thanks for the post but when i went there, at the last phase i couldnt find features or it was a mistake from your post ? Just curious because all i saw was the rest in this form HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Zune\ the features folder WAS missing from my registry editor ? can you help ?:)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] jad71:
Agreed ,same issue bro... please help
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] varunverma:

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] sweetdoc:
yes same problem, kindly respond
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Marvlesz:
You can download free apps only, you can't buy paid apps.

Because you have to register a credit card that was issued from a country which already supported WP7 :rolleyes:

I've been into this before :)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] arkatis:
Thats strange guys... I have the Features folder in the registry!

Try and add it by yourselves.. Try to sign in into Zune...let it update and then close it in order to make this tweak! If you still can not find it please create the values in regedit! Go to regedit then HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Zune\ and create a key inside Zune...Now call it Marketplace and then open it..Now on the right side just create a string value and put inside you country code... Try reopen Zune...

Have you tried the MARKET PLACE ENABLER????
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] bjkizito:
I had the same problem but I did the market place enabler first but it returned a message that some features may not work. It went on run and I saw the message FEATURES HAVE CHANGED. I connected my phone but didn't see the market tab. I'm still trying.

However, I checked the Regedit and this time the features folder was there and my country already added! I didn't have to enter it.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] arkatis:
Market place enabler will do the trick! try and download a free application and tell me if it's working! :cool:
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] bjkizito:
ok, it now works. The trick/(s)? I logged off my pc and signed in as adminstrator. I run the market enabler without issues this time, connected my phone, zune lauched automatically and viola! market place tab is there for me to start exploring. I have that belief though that we will not be able to buy cos the credit card will tell the region from which you are and return errors but who in the first place thought we'd have windows 7 on this hd2? That is therefore small a problem that I know someone on xda will solve some day...thanks
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] arkatis:
Glad it worked for you also bro! You can now download free applications with no problem at all! :D

I haven't checked the paid apps because i never buy anything! LOL!

Good luck! ;)

Do note that, you may have to first run the Enabler, before, every time you connect your Windows Phone.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Marvlesz:
Free Apps -------------- |x|Check

Paid Apps -------------- | | How to buy them if you can't even register your cc ?

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] wardh:
To activate features, create a new Key at HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Zune named "FeaturesOverride", then create DWORD (32-bit) values inside the key "FeaturesOverride" with the following names, "Marketplace" and "SignInAvailable" setting their value to “1” to turn them on.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Ulyaoth:
i did everything, but when i try to download an free up, it forces me to sign in, but i don't have a zune account and nor can i create one in greece i use my hotmail and a blank terms and conditions page appears. no matter what i press, i get the same error: can't submit your acceptance....blah blah blah check your internet connection. oh, and when i try to create an account directly from the program after i enter all the info, it will simply get stuck at the final 'signing in' part. if i click finish, it'll be as if nothing happened!! :(
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] arkatis:
Man i will give you a simple solution! If in Greece you can't get Market place to work and you dont have an account just listen to this!

Register on Zune and make a new account...Write your hotmail and on postal code just go to Google and write "USA Postal codes"... Copy a postal code from there and paste it in Zune and you will have a US account ready to sign in! I use the Market place just fine! ;)

here you are...postal codes:

i can login to markeplace but when i try to install , notice show pls to sign-in Live account on phone first ??? my phone WP7 still not yet Activated , how ???
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] bjkizito:
It appears you didn't complete the activation process or may be the phone could have relocked itself. Chevron locks it the moment you unplug it so check those and see
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] bjkizito:
It works fine!

Ok guys, what I did differently.

1. Signed into computer as administartor. It is important cos you get full rights to change computer settings.

2. Went to Start/Control Panel and changed the computer location to US.

3. Went to Start/ Ctrl Panel and changed my time zone to a US time zone. Specifically I used Canada/East Coast but I think any time zone in the US will work.

4. I run WPME (Windows phone Market Enabler) and I chose my location as US.

5. Connected my phone, zune launched automatically and there was no " features Changed" message this time.

6. I went to market place on the PC and tried to download a free app. It promted me to sign in. Note that I never had to create a new windows ID for this to work. I used my original from former windows phones.

7. started enjoying the free apps. I have not tried buying anything but I confirm it works as far as free apps, games.. are concerned.

Try it and goodluck
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] kenloon2009:
can i install the app without activate the WP7 ???? cos i cannot get the activation WP7 code. can anyone help me ????
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] m0nkm0nk:
1. I changed the computer location to the US

2. Maked a live/hotmail .COM account in the US

3. Reset your phone and login to the live services on the phone with you US account

4. After step 3 you can add your other live accounts

5. Go to the marketplace and login with your created hotmail/live account at step 2.

Download them all. No tools needed?

[Fascinate General] rigglemania:
A VZW macro-antenna was recently placed on the building across the street from where I work, and for the first week after I returned from Christmas vacation, I'd have a solid 3-4 bars all day long. Since doing more extensive ROM/kernel modifications to my phone, I notice that my reception will jump around a lot... 4 bars, 1 bar, 3 bars, 2 bars, 4 bars, 1 bar, etc.

Using a signal widget confirms that it does actually vary quite a bit... such as suddenly dropping from -86dmb to -106dbm, then bouncing back to -86 without the phone having been moved.

Has anyone else experienced anything like this or have any idea what might be causing it and what I could try to alleviate the issue? I suppose I could go back to the adrynalyn's 12/12 test kernel (the one that came with DJ05), but as I'm currently using both Voodoo lagfix and sound, I'd really rather not have to do all that.

Currently using Superclean 0.9, JT's 1/23 voodoo5 + lagfix + sound. Thanks in advance for any assistance! :)
[Fascinate General] Cali3350:
I dont have exact DB measurements but I can tell you that just sitting at my desk at work my 3G connection speed varies from 1mbit to 10kbit in about 4 seconds sometimes. The network just dies. It slowly builds back up to 1mbit and then dies again. Pandora streaming is annoying.
[Fascinate General] xlinth:
edit: after 4th try of *228 option 2 i now am getting better signal and 1.8 down and .6 up....maybe verizon was having issues in my area and now they have it fixed...we shall see
[Fascinate General] kent1146:
I have had problems using that kernel (Superclean 0.9, JT's 1/23 voodoo5 + lagfix + sound.), with my cell signal dropping out entirely at random times.

Once I went back to the previous kernel I was using, everything was fine again.

How long have you been using your current kernel?
[Fascinate General] xlinth:
Im using adrynalyns latest i think ...with voodoo and voodoo sound fix...for about a week now....i've tried just about every kernel i could find but still had the same problem. *228 has done the trick so far......my signal is low but is constant....its no longer dropping to 2g at least.
[Fascinate General] MADDAN18:
I thought the 3g to 1x problems got fixed with DL09 (stock rom) but it still appears to be a problem when I get in a low coverage area. My friends HTC Eris with the same low coverage still maintains the 3g while my Fascinate starts to switch to 1x and won’t grab 3g until a reboot or at least 3 bars of coverage are present. I tried *228 several times with no luck. Any ideas?

Easy fix man, break a battery pin off so the phone doesn't power on, and take it back saying it just died. They won't be able to boot it to check the rom at that time and should in store replace it with a refurb. I have done this once, when they didn't want to replace mine for screen wobble.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sean Hicks:
You could also intentionally flash a file that shouldn't have be flashed, to stick the phone at the boot logo.

Without being able to boot, they cannot reveal what rom is 'running'
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insanity213:
Just get a 12-24VAC power brick, like one used on a sprinkler timer. Drag the 2 bare leads from the output around the contacts on the back of the phone for battery, sdcard, antennas, etc... It'll roast the **** out of everything inside of the phone. They'll never know what ROM was on it after that.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jrdalrymple:
I can't believe I'm the first person to experience this problem, but searching the forum yielded no obvious similar problems.

I had a perfectly fine working Darkstone SuperRam 1.5 <3 on my HD2. I wanted to try WP7 so I flashed it on. I didn't hate it too terribly badly, though I missed things from Android so I wanted to go to a dual boot setup. I got through that process without a hitch and now I'm dual booting fine WP7 and my same original SuperRam build.

The problem is that my ringtones, SMS and E-mail alerts all chose a random MP3 from my library instead of the original ringtones etc. that I had configured. I can go into the settings menu and see all of the ringtones and notifications I'm used to seeing, preview them and even select them, but it didn't have any affect. the phone still chose to use those MP3s to alert me.

I removed all of the MP3s from the SD card and now it just uses some terrificly generic beeping sound for every notification :D

The folder structure hasn't changed. I straight copied all of the contents of the original card (still intact) to the partition created on my dual-boot card. The pertinent areas look something like this in Astro:

/mnt/sdcard/media/notifications

/mnt/sdcard/media/ringtones

What am I missing? What did I break? Any suggestions appreciated. If I don't get anything sane suggested before tomorrow I'll try to load up a fresh build and see if that works any better.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jrdalrymple:
Ended up doing a fresh build.

There was some trial and error, some loading up of alternative builds, some reloading of my old build (same results), some logcat and google, etc. etc. At the end of the day I was worried that I was going to be flashing 6.5 back on because MAGLDR+Darkstone 1.5 wasn't working nor were any other ROMs working to my liking. Well, come to find out I just had to reboot Darkstone a few times after the initial load for everything to work properly, it freezes the first couple of times as noted in the main page for the ROM by others. I wouldn't recommend wasting time trying to fix this problem, it's not worth it.
