I live in Hong Kong, and phone numbers here are 8 digits, not in the American (xxx)xxx-xxxx format. I was wondering if I can get the phone to recognize that and stop displaying numbers in the wrong format.
I use the Energy ROM Phoenix 2.

is there a way to tell the difference by just looking at the outside of the box?
The UK version has tomtom logo on the back near the windows logo. It appears now though that it doesnt make a difference though (you can download tomtom from this site) as I have succsessfully registered my imported phone this morning.
also the SERIAL (not imei) has GB within it or is that just a coincedence with mine?
Mine has GB in the serial and its an imported phone. From what I've read all Kaisers seem to have GB in their serial.
ok, thanks alot guys!
Also in mine there is GB in the serial and mine was buyed in Italy and registered without trouble on HTC Europe
I use a SIM card of One SIM multi number;
When I used the number of China Mobile, the number of SMS center is +8613800100000 or etc. It's OK, but when I used the number of Indonesia TELKOMSEL. The SMS center number is +6281100000, but in the phone settings what I can get is +6281100000151515, and the every time after I witch the phone off and on, the number will change to the wrong number.
I am not sure it's only the problem of My Multi number SIM card, or someone had the same problems?
the systems I used include WM6.1 WM6.5. every version of ROM has the same problem.
2 Days old hd7. Bought from London 02 locked. Used imie unlocked website n got kt unlocked.
now I'm in India. When ever I try to access marketplace it says not available for ur region. is this normal or since its unlocked some features may not work?
Or it would only work with 02sim and in London only?
also has anyone been able to manage a file explorer ? I'd still need market place though
It's to do with the Live ID you used to sign in. It is most likely linked to India and because the marketplace isn't open to India yet you will not be able to access it.
IF you want to gain access you will need to setup a new Live ID with American / British addresses.
I'm not sure how payment will work though as you may need a Billing Address in the US /UK.
Okay this is what i tried.
I reset my HD7. Then when it started i didnt set up the live ID. i tried market place and it worked on my home WiFi. (i put my sin card off - flight mode)
Then i went on the computer and changed my hotmail id to united states. I entered my id on hD7 and again on WiFi tried market place and it worked.
BUT when i tried to purchase anything it says product not available on catlogue.
Then i started my simcard and tried market place again and it said itsnot available for this region.
So its the sim card thats creating the region.
Now with my ID set as USA, when im in london next i am going to try market place. I have a 3 service sim card there with internet on it.
Will then check and post again.
I tried to put my phone and flight mode and tried market place on WiFi and guess what now again it says not available for your region.
So until i had no sim activated inside i was good. but now somehow phone knows wether flight mode or no flight mode...my location is India
As far as I know, once a Live ID is created for a certain region, you cannot change the region.
You are able to change it for the individual services (Hotmail, etc) but the base ID remains attached to the country you registered it as. There were some problems experienced by UK residents where they had initially registered a US account for use with Zune marketplace and then changed it all to UK when they purchased a WP7 device but because it was still a US account they could not add their UK credit card for purchases in the MarketPlace.
So, it seems that you'll either need to create a new US ID but potentially have no access to your credit cards or you'll just have to wait till the WP7 launches in India.
Good luck and let me know what you try!
I bought a HD7 from London locked with O2. I used htcimieunlock and unlocked it.
Then i flew back to India and right now with the vodafone network. I can make calls and send text.
But when ever i go to the market place it says "feature not avialable for this region"
While i was in london had 02 card inserted and had tried to access market place and i had got the same message.
Am i a getting this because of a unlocked phone? Or there is genuinely problem with the region.
What do you guys suggest to get this fixed? As of now i cant use my pdf docs or any other softwares.
Also has anyone been able to find a file explorer in market place?
I have an unlocked phone and it's working fine, sounds like there's genuinely a problem with the Marketplace in India.
And there is no File Explorer app.
Thank you for replying.
Are you from london cause i will be there again in 3 days.
In settings is your region/location as United states or united kingdom?
Cause when i was in London last week it said, that i should change my location to US
Hi,
I'm from Birmingham, England's Second City, in the Midlands.
My Region is set to United Kingdom for all options. It shouldn't have said that when you were in London, I know I'm not actually from London but the chances of it varying through the UK are slim to non. The marketplace should work fine in the UK. Maybe there is something wrong with the software on your device?
If your live account is set to india then it will do that to you, no matter where you are in the world.
I'm using the hotmail id since last 5yrs plus. Now for a phone I'll have to change my identity..
I'll be in London on the 9th and I guess I'll findout then.
Has anyone been able to change to a different live id without resetting the device?
i bought my hd7 from london as well.works well in malaysia
Okay i am in London today and on the 3 network.
AND MY MARKET PLACE IS NOT WORKING.
My id is @hotmail.com and is not .in (india)
Wht do u think is going wrong here? Why does it still say not supported in your country/region.
The guy in malaysia....whats ur id...hotmail.com or something else..
While in London i made another live ID.
after making the ID i entered that ID in zune and wallah! i got connected to the market place and culd shop provided my phone had the same ID.
Since i am not game to change my 10year old ID, what i tried was i went to the optons of the newly made id. In the region there i changed it to United kingdon instead of united states which was by default.
I alt/tab to zune and then tried again and now mynew id which a while back could log in cannot log in to market place now.
I went again and made the changes to united states and guess what...IT STILL DOSENT LOG IN
S T A N G E
So i conclude that once u leave the region as united states then i guess you are doomed.
Wanted someone to check on this one
1: If anyone can go in their hotmail options and check their region there? People in UK is your region as united states or UK.
Would apreciate someone trying and letting me know this info
There are many people affected by this problem.u can search it at zune forum.at the moment marketplace only supports 2 place.eu and usa.so for people like us we need to create uk or usa region id to access the marketplace but we can only download trial and free apps.because we do not have usa or uk credit cards.hopefully microsoft will introduce buying apps using points like xbox console can do.and i believe side apps loading will be available.it is just a matter of time.
I've got a Canadian note 4 that I'm using in the UK. I bought a local sim (EE if that matters) and it won't make a call using standard local formatting.
For example, a number that is
0189 xxxxx won't work if I dial it like that.
I have to use the format
+44189 xxxxxx
Not a big deal, but I found it strange.
Here's my guess...
When you first set up the phone did you have to enter a country ?
Maybe you need to let the phone know it's home country is UK as it sounds to me the handset still thinks it's a Canadian phone that's needing to use international dialing code for dialing the UK.
Maybe it needs changing to UK ? I would assume that requires factory reset then entering UK as country but as I say it's just a guess.
