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 am in Afghanistan, I have satellite that gives me an Australian IP address, and I am useing two local Data provider SIMs Etisalat and MTN. I use two because the Esislat is $23 unlimited usage but the Cell towers are taken down at night to stop IED but MTN stays up but charges me a data rate. I have Dell streak 7 with streakDroid on it. Everytime I DL anything from the market it will pop say I can not DL it in my country. Now I have unlocked AT&T Atrix that I run 3 SIM cards in the above two and a local voice only provider and I can DL things just fine. I did a search for how to change my country and there is app for it but when i try to DL it from the market place it will tell me, not available in my country. Is there any way to change my country?
The Streak did work for the first week or so that i had it and now I can not get anything to work.

That can be used to bypass sim checks. Need to be rooted and run again after each reboot. If you cant download that, I think the author has a different place to download it from(?)
If they use GeoIP checks that can be bypassed by a proxy.

I get the not available in your country error when I try to get that from the market place. I tried it before starting this tread. do you know of another place to DL it? If I get on my atrix and can I transfer it to my Streak? I am not the most android savey person.
If you can download it at all from anywhere, you should be able to install it on your s7.
ok after 5 dead links I got it.. thanks..
Hi,
Apologies if this has been answered- I could only find answers for Windows 7.
I've just bought a Windows 8 phone in China (Nokia Lumia 620), and no matter what I do (hard resets, changing accounts, changing regional settings), my Marketplace account is always locked to China. This means I can't download tonnes of apps, and I can't actually pay for any apps as I don't have a Chinese credit card. I've just returned to the UK and this is driving me mad!
Any help gratefully appreciated.
The only fixable software issue I can think of that could be causing this is the region associated with your Live ID (Microsoft Account). I assume you've already changed the phone's regional settings. It's possible the Store will reset in a day or so of being in the "new" country, but I doubt it.
More likely, your ROM was customized for China and will need to be re-flashed. I believe Nokia provides tools for doing this. It will wipe the phone, of course, but you should be able to install a European ROM instead.

Thanks for the help- I've changed all the possible regional settings, but still no dice. They haven't yet suggested re-flashing, but we'll see.
I'm just infuriated that Nokia don't publicise this and claim that it's easy to change marketplace. Their customer service is shocking too (rant over).
Currently in the UK and gave my USA G781U1 to my mum. Set the device up without local UK SIM card installed don’t recall seeing or selecting an option for region ( no suprise ). After device was setup I inserted the UK sim, all smooth but after installing Uber Eats app it prompted for a zip code instead of post code. Even though the app itself was depicting currency in UK pounds. Any idea why?
I initially thought it was because the region country language was USA but it wasn’t. Cheers.
don't know the reason but go with Just Eat... the other lot are a right bunch of...
I'm using a p7 non pro in porguese carrier called Vodafone.
this carrier changed a frew days ago theit support policy abour supported phones.
someone already have a pixel 6/7 working with esim on vodafone portugal?
beta or stable build?
best regards
Phone info:
OS: beta t2b2-221216
Root: no
carrier: Vodafone PT/Portugal
last sim type: nano sim
current: eSIM
date of change: 10/Jan/2023
Current state: not working esim.
I have tried last weekend and it does not work.
I think the problem is that the pixel 7 never asks for the esim PIN which is something that Vodafone PT still enforces. This keeps the eSim 'locked' and it doesn't allow to connect to any network.
Let me know if have any luck getting it to work.
i can't tell if it's a pixel problem or a carrier problem.
for me it's a carrier problem.
a few days ago the person who "help me" in store said vodafone doesn't have a esim compatible with all devices. so customers have to wait for it. until when?....
Other said i made a wrong activation and with a new qr code will work.....but not.
carrier forum support said: service is activated but the device did register on carrier network....
what can we do?

I've had eSIMs with PINs (pepephone Spain) and it works exactly the same as a physical SIM. I doubt that's the problem you guys are having.
Hello guys,
What I did and made it work was:
Scan the QR with Google Lens (or inner app for the camera); copy link to clipboard; paste the whole link in the "put esim manually" option. - Don't use the ICCID.
Remember that you need an Internet connection available (Wi-Fi or Data plan) to configurate the eSim.
Hope it helps!
Cheers!

I don't see how that would make a difference given that with the QR code recognises the Vodafone PT esim and adds it "correctly" even though it never asks for a pin thus not allowing it to connect to the network..
But I can try that method next time.
Btw, when adding the esim manually via the link did the phone ask to unlock the SIM with its PIN?

Hi,
I just did it and it worked.
By adding it manually I mean copy/pasting the link the QR gives: not the ICCID. - Just to make sure.
The first time it didnt ask for the pin code. It simply worked (and it's currently working).
Hope it works for you as well, buddy.
I have a few questions for you:
it was a blank esim with new nunber or a swap from a SIM to eSIM?
it was from vodafone portugal?
where do you paste the qrcode link obtained? chrome or other app?
Cheers

- I made a duplicate in a Vodafone Store of my already activated SIM card.
- Vodafone Spain.
- Directly through the phone at "add SIM card" in the Pixel's configuration option. It will pop-up the camera, you press on "Need help?", then select the manual option and paste the link there.
Cheers!!
thanks
vdf pt only suports a few iphone and samsung fones. they only assure the correct use with vodafone mobile phones.
so i will wait until i have more sure about it (p7 family gain suport esim).
cheers
So sad. I'm sorry. I hoped it helped you as it worked for me.
Cheers!
