For some reason when i try to delete my window live account the only option i get is sync and not delete like my facebook account.
I can't buy games now since i registered the account overseas and now i'm back in my home country. I can't download any games because it says i need an account registered to the country i'm currently in.
After registering i tried to buy games but i can't change the email address.
Is there any solution to this problem?
Just do a quick hard reset. Takes about 20 seconds with this phone.
You can't delete the main Live ID on the phone, as you must have at least one connected to it at all times. Try adding another one and then deleting the first one. Otherwise a hard reset will do the trick (at the expense of wiping your phone).
The thing is if i hard reset it i'll lose all my apps and it took me ages to download.
I tried making a new live one but it would only let me delete the new one and not the old one
As was said earlier, you cannot delete the live account, on which is your phone registered. It is not possible. The only way is to hard reset your phone and register it on different live id. But not even that you will have to download all apps again, but also, if you already bought some apps using the previous live id, you will have to buy them again because they are connected with the live id, not the phone itself.

the reason is simple: You can track your phone with your live-id, as well as delete or lock the phone, if your phone is stolen or lost. This is a security feature.
If it were just that simple to delete your live-id from the phone like your facebook-account, this feature would be unnecessary.

hi everyone, my question is how do I set-up a hotmail account,when I configure a mail account opens up IE or Opera and from there a access the mail account. With WM5 didn´t do that, I could access the mail account with in the phone without opening the browser.
When I press the mail funtion it doesn´t show the account I already set-up,in this case, hotmail, it shows it empty(no accounts)
any help with this?
thanks
i had problem with this also. Apparently you can only set up one hotmail account on your phone. If let say you deleted it by accident and try to re-add it will not work, instead it will go through the Windows Live website like you stated.
Only solution to fix this is a hard-reset

oo then maybe the owner did set an account before but removed it. If that is the case you will not be able to add a new hotmail account.
My suggestion to you is just do a hardreset, unless there are some things the old owner put in there you might want. If that is the case just plug the USB cable into your computer and copy and paste whatever you want from the phone to your comp as backup
I haven,t done the hard reset because there is no signs of anything being in the memory. When I go to mail function and add new account, I entered the hotmail account and password and then next and shows settings found for hotmail.com,then press next again and goes straight to the browser. I go back to the mail function and again is empty, no account added
Either hard reset or uninstall then reinstall windows live on your phone.

I can do that,but it will still opening mails trough the browser and not as a separate program like it did in WM5?
If you uninstall windows live and reinstall it, then it shouldnt open your mail in an internet browser anymore. Just make sure you have only one hotmail account. The first one will open in the application and if you add others, you will be redirected to the hotmail website.
I just did a hardreset because of touch screen problem. Then I saw this thread, and got my hotmail account working too!
I got the phone from BELL, brand new, but couldn't set up my hotmail accout. It was the same problem: directly go the browser!
Now I love my Diamond even better. It was my gameboy, now it is in business!
Hii.
It´s possible have 2 hotmail account´s on messages menu???
I can´t add 2 or more account´s.
Tankh´s.
i'm having some problems with the hotmail account, somethimes doesnt want to connect through wifi and opens a 3g connection instead..
hotmail fix...
the easiest way I've found is to simply use the "get xpress mail" function... may or may not work for all, but it is at least a 50-50 shot!

What's "get express mail" function?
Give me more details please.
Thanks
Microsoft's hotmail/live/msn support pop3 now.
U can simply use the outlook by setup a new count such as [email protected], and pop3 server as pop3.live.com(maybe, I don't rember), then change the mail address back to [email protected].
The second way is using windows live with messenger.
I access two hotmail accounts, just set as normal but it asks the first time for the address put [email protected], then it lets you setup pop3 and smtp else it detects the address as live and sends you to the browser. edit the address after and all should be ok. ps details here for pop3

When I set up the HD7 phone the first time coming from the box, I don't recall of entering any WP7 activation key. I think it only asked for the windows live ID and after that everything went smooth. I gave this phone as a b-day gift to my daughter. She is out of town now for college.
My question, what if happen if for some reason she requires to hard reset the phone. I am reading a lot from forums that once you hard reset the phone or other WP7 phone in general you'll need to enter the activation key again. I understand that I can get the key from Microsoft by calling anytime for that key.
I could be wrong and I totally forget it but during the initial setup process did the phone really ask for that activation key? If yes, where do you think I found it? In the box? I need to tell my daughter to look for it so I can save it for future use.
you don't need an activation key. you only need the key for the hd2 because its not registred as an wp7 phone.
You don`t need activation key but your a lost all data make you first sync wiht you computer and do hard reset
Yes, I understand that I will lose all my data once hard reset. The contacts probably got saved in the windows live account. I can just export to csv and import to load it back.
Thank you!

once you hard reset, when you turn the phone on it will ask you to setup your windows live account, my contacts are on my windows live account so at the first sync it will load all my contacts back, you do not need to export to CSV format anymore... i beleive its goes same for the google address book if you are keeping your contacts there..
This might have been asked before, if so please pardon me. Long story short, The email that I created my Microsoft\live account has changed, the question is; how do I get my new account on my Windows Phone without having to do a hard reset and without loosing my apps, settings and so forth? Is this even possible or am I out of luck? Please advise. Thank you.

i had same problem however i was lucky only having the new wp8.1 phone for 2 days. so didnt have much on it so far... i had to hard reset.
next time you hard reset dont login with "Microsoft Account" login under "Other..." or "Advanced" with your hotmail email... becausae that "Microsoft account" is useless ****. it drains battery by constantly checking for new email. cause you only have one option which is " daily" at longest to check emails again. where on normal hotmail or google account you have " manual" check for emails.... and if you sign in using "Other..." or "Advanced..." with your hotmail account it will be same thing and you will be able to set "manual" "daily" "weekly" "1hour" so on... good luck bro ! back your stuff up to onedrive or something
That's what i was afraid of, I guess I will also have to sign up for a developers preview again with the new account and I will loose whatever games and or apps that I bought Why??????
There is only one way can change the default email id for the device without hard reset, through REGISTRY EDITOR.
Which is your device ?
Hi,
I accidentally removed through web browser my Xiaomi Account without logging out from my phone.
Now when I go to Settings > Mi Account the phone asks for the password of the account that I deleted (see attached image)
If I try to login with my old Mi account information on my phone, I get a message saying that the account no longer exists and I have to create a new one. I created a brand new account but I cannot bind it to the phone.
I contacted Xiaomi service by email but I got no solution from it.
Could a phone factory reset wipe the old Mi account information and let me configure the phone again from scratch?
Please can you help me to solve this issue?
Thanks in advance
Best regards
Luigi

Sometimes you have to wait for the Xiaomi servers to be up to date.
Have you tried: forgot password?
Unfortunately old account deletion has already taken effect, I cannot do anything to recover or change old account information.

Try to reset the phone.
I've already tried to login on https://us.i.mi.com/ with my old account credential but I got the message "This account has been deleted. Create a new one". I created a new account with the same phone number but actually the phone is bounded to the deleted account and it seems there is no way on the phone to bind it to the new one.
I'm really frustrated about this awful account management by Xiaomi.

On this site you must connect with the new one since you have deleted the old one.
can you login with the new one?
If ok wait to reset the phone, otherwise you will find yourself in the same situation.
I followed your suggestions and I successfully set up the new account on the phone.
Really thank you very much for your help.
Luigi
How did you get it to work?
I'm in the same bind and apparently there's a few days left before the account is removed from their server yet they won't reinstate it. I may be running against the clock here.
I did create a new account but there is no way to add the phone to it and they warned against resetting the phone as it would lock it permanently!
I was doing more research and I remembered that I did delete my phone from the MI account through the website before I deleted the account itself. I don't know if that makes a difference.

Connect to the phone with your new account which must correspond with the phone number provided.https://us.i.mi.com/
If your new account is recent wait.
On condition that there are no others.
Thanks NOSS8, Just to be clear the phone still shows the old account connected to it and every time I try to enter the password it gives a "Server Error". So the question is do I need to reset the phone to get the old account off?

logout and try with the new account
Once more thank you for your help. BTW, I love your avatar it expresses exactly how I feel dealing with Xiaomi :-D
One thing I just realized that may be totally different from the experience of others, there's a notification that the account session has expired and I need to enter the password again. Unfortunately it's trying to access the old account that has been deleted. Since I can't log back in I can't logout either, to remove the old account.
At this point it seems I can keep using it this way and hope it doesn't suddenly decide the phone is stolen and lock me out or I can just reset and whatever happens... Worst case I'll switch to an iPhone
Shame though, it's a really nice phone and I like MIUI.

I create a vivo account from my computer them i put it on my x90 pro plus, to use nova launcher, all was fine, i dig in on store (themes, always on screen) etc. And i had to install some apps to gain coins and them change those coins for themes, or somethin else.
Today, suddenly i try the same tactics, but it says something like this "you can'y use this child account on this feature" them i went to accoun info in the phone and i see, name, date of birth, gender is empty, try to fill up that info, and it says "sorry, this feature is "sorry this feature isn't available right now" so i went with my pc to the vivo account to change that and the menu it doesn't show those options like the phone shows.
Any ideas?

Yeah, the only fully-functional Vivo account is a Chinese one. That's also the only one that you can request accout deletion from for example. The only way to make it outside China that we've found so far is to go through V-Market app and register new account through there. The important thing is to register with phone+password (account with password). It will ask for your phone number, but will still allow you to choose your region - and you need to choose China there.
wait what? You need a Vivo account to install Nova? What else do you need this account for?

changing system launcher permanently requires account password, yeah. Or it will go back to default every time you hit Home
Unlocking Developer options will ask for password if I remember it right. Cloud features like 'Find phone" or sms/call history backup obviously need an account. I think that's about it
ok - well, as long as it's in English, should be fine to create an account if it's a one-off thing.

create a email account (it will be India region) if you just need to unlock few features and be done with it. No need to give them a phone number that way and if you don't need cloud functions you won't see any difference.

I created the account from the phone itself, when it asked for a phone number, I entered my Czech number and I received the sms verification and that was it.
Btw if you use phone make sure to remove Vivo account from the phone before you change that number should you do so. Otherwise you maybe unable to remove that account and e.g. should you tben on top forget your account password that could brick your phone (not possible to hard reset without Vivo account password)...
Really bad idea therefore to create that account with disposable or virtual number/email...
