Hi,
If WP7 was not official launched in India you cannot access those features.
You must create or change your Windows Live account to a region that has WP7 official (UK, USA, Spain, Germany)
Thanks

Had the same issue.
So I have 1 official live account with India region(which I will use when WP7 releases world wide)
and an unofficial live account I currently use for downloading free apps.This one uses the address of a US Mc. Donalds outlet in Bethesda .
Cheers.

Have the same problem.
Can you provide a small guide as to how to go about it.
Btw is it possible to have to live accounts on the same phone?
Also I have already activated the phone with India all over.. so do i have to reset it to enter the fake ID?
Thanks in advance..
I just mailed HTC India regarding it since its now officially available moreover I bought the product with a 1 year warranty.

We can do this without creating ( and wasting time ) a US account
Use regedit and navigate to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Zune\Features
You will find 3 keys in it
Apps
Marketplace
singInavailable
in all those key values add IN for example
AT,AU,BE,CA,CH,DE,ES,FR,GB,IE,IT,MX,NZ,SG,US,IN
Launch Zune. Now you will be able to see marketplace. You can make purchase with your credit card , download free apps / games.
Only catch is : after we sync it with zune , registry value changes. You might have to redo this stuff. But the advantage is that when the marketplace is launched in india it will be seemless integration.

Hi asksaravana,
Your tips was truely helpful. I could download some useful apps from the marketplace.
I recently bought a T-Mobile handset HTCHD7 from US.
I want to use it India. Unfortunately all the T-Mobile applications are US specific.
Is there any ways to get Airtel specific applications?
Regards,
Ram.

This works, but now some of the downloaded applications have new versions. How to update them. Marketplace in phone shows 10 updates, but when you click, it gives errors that not available in your country/region.

Found a way to update installed applications on phone.
Install marketplace browser.
Search for the installed application in marketplace browser.
Once you open the application page, you will see update button if there is a new version for the installed app.
Click update and update all your apps one by one.

Marketplace thru Wifi / GPRS
Hey guys, just reached this thread, is there a way any one figured out to get marketplace working either by wifi or gprs / 3G
Coz trying to browse the market from the phone shows " Not Available on your Region" - Zune works perfect.

Solution Found for Marketplace in india
open up zune.
create a new live account from within zune. select location as US.
it will automatically sign you in .
go to your control panel - region and language.
set the location to US under the location tab.
apply the registry hack as mentioned in the above posts.
restart zune.
you can access apps , music, videos . podcasts in marketplace now.
i have been doing this.works all the time.
( you need to change the registry settings everytime before opening zune. or create a registry and that will make everything little easy )
have fun

So is Marketplace still not available in India?
I just switched to Windows Phone. I even bought an app using an Indian account and an Indian credit card. However, the only way I can access Marketplace is by making the registry changes. I can't access it in my phone.
I just uninstalled an app and I have no idea how to re-install it. Can anyone help?

[Q] New user here.. Need help!

i'm new to android and i've been waiting this since CES n now i've got it in Singapore!
However, when I switched on my 2X i found there's no any preloaded games that mentioned in the gsmarena review, the spiderman and shrek kart, tegra zone as well.The set comes with a HDMI cable too.
Anyway, that doesnt matter a lot but I dont understand why i can't buy paid apps? and market not even show those paid apps too.
ROM and stuff i'm learning now too but if there's anyone who kind enough u can simply post here, starting from the basics =D
much appreciated!

go to the appdrawer, then press on the icon named "preinstalled apps" and a list of apps will appear, including the games you mention - click on the ones you want to have installed. The apps are delivered as installation packages on the phone, but not preinstalled - LG leave it up to you to deside which of these you want to install.

erm. I cant see any appdrawer? but i clicked on the application thr's folder called preloaded apps but only 4 useless apps inside, like the compass apps etc.
and i just realise my location are not support paid apps. so if i root my hp will i able to purchase paid apps?

[Q] Some questions about using Android apps on glass

Can end users use android applications on this device? I read that developers can install android applications using adb but how about end users?
I saw an example that a developer runs an application from from a time line object (youtube 6f9fh6vq6zs "Google Glass Makes you a Shopping Ninja
"), he is running an application he installed through this way, right?
As far as I read, glassware only supports a system like push notifications. You have a server that can send messages to users and user can reply back with that messages. Is it correct?
I want to make a similar barcode reader app for Glass. However I believe it is not possible for now. I can 'share' photos to my server (like twitter) and it can reply with timeline events, I guess this is the only way for end users. Is this true?
Also what are the release plans for google glass, I read 'it is pushed to 2014' anything more? Will there be a proper Android app support? SDKs for Glass?
Thanks

User apps
The main "issue" for end users is that
1) there's no market yet for Dalvik/native apps (only google's web api so far)
2) even if there were, there's no way to browse google play on glass....
3) and there is no way to launch a native app on Glass.
So what needs to be done to launch native apps is to:
1) ADB install
- Dalvik/native applications must be installed with adb: $ adb install -r [sampleName].apk
- That's annoying, but maybe you do that only once...
2) ABD run
- Dalvik/native applications can be run with adb: $ adb shell am start -n com.google.glass.samples.<sampleName>/.<MainActivityName>
- That's annoying as well...
3) Launchy launcher
- There's launchy, and open source launcher that allows you to browse through the installed native apps (installed using step 1) and launch them (github kaze0 launchy)
- Google XE10 (October release) will include launchy (keep in mind that's explorer edition, it doesn't mean a commercial release will have this...)
Comments:
1) Dalvik/native apps must be heavily designed anyways to work with Glass....
2) A new concept for a launcher and interactions is needed... that's why google promotes the web api... probably launchy is not the answer but just a stepping stone to allow explorers to play with native apps
3) I saw on Play store when publishing apps that there's a device called "glass-1".... speculations......
4) For sensor data logging, a native app running in the background as a service is definitely handy

Dan

[Q] Sideload 1 old app

A question from a totally new windows phone noob.
Long time ago i buy an app for check my phone balance (calls credit, mobile data MB left), now that application was removed from store and i cant reinstall that because i changed my phone from HTC HD7 to Lumia 1520.
My question is: i have the XAP file of that app downloaded from official store before the remove, if i dev unlock (basic unlock - 2 apps) my Lumia 1520 i can install that application?
Thanks

Can you open xap with 7-Zip and view files inside ?

I have 2 XAP of that app.
1 is opened by 7-zip the other not

U can deploy the opened variant.

For deploy i need "2 app unlock" or i can simply install with the SD card tip?

A little background: Sometime around the end of the WP7 lifetime, Microsoft started encrypting Store apps with DRM. Those cannot be sideloaded using app deployment, though they can be installed via the SD card if the app is allowed to be installed at all. The bold part is important; installing from SD still requires accessing the store to get a license for the app, and Microsoft can just not give you one.
Non-DRMed apps (recognizable because you can open them as ZIP archives) can be deployed using Application Deployment if your phone is developer-unlocked (the 2-app unlock is fine) and the app doesn't require any special capabilities (for WP7.x apps, that just means the app doesn't have ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES in its manifest). If there's a file called WMAppPRHeader.xml in the .XAP, you'll need to remove it before deploying.
If the app has ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES in its WMAppManifest.xml file, you'll need to interop-unlock the phone first. This is now possible for Lumia phones with SD cards, such as the 1520. I'm not going to explain the details of doing it here; they're easy to find on the forum in the dev&hacking section especially.
Note that an app which has been un-published may simply no longer work. Many apps have to talk to a server somewhere for the app to function. That server might no longer be available for your app. This is pretty common for unpublished apps; no reason to keep a server running for an app nobody is using (or it could be the other way around; they might have unpublished the app because it wasn't worth the cost to keep the server running and without the server the app is useless). Basically, even if you get the app to install and run, there's no guarantee that it'll work.

How to remove apps from desktop, but keep them...

Coming from my Nexus 6 (and Android Nougat), I can download apps to my Nexus 6 and:
1) Keep them in my apps icon / list
2) Keep them off of my Desktop, but still accessible on my phone through the app icon / list.
How do I do the same with the Xiaomi Mi Mix?
I am on the Chinese version of the September build, and to my surprise the Google Play Store was included in the build (I thought it was not incorporated in those builds).
After I installed by sim, and started by phone, I had forced all my google play store apps to transfer to my new Mi Mix. What I do not understand, is that all the app installed on the desktop (very cluttered).
Is there not a way to have them look and feel like all north american versions of the android smart phones ? ? ?
Where the apps download and install to the smart phone, but do not necessarily remain on the desktop home screens?
Cheers

MIUI is like iOS.
No app drawer and all installed apps on the screen. I have placed the MIUI apps I don't want into a folder and moved them onto a page I never access. You could also install Nova Launcher or something like it which lets you use a more conventional launcher.appearance.
Once rooted you can freeze apps or disable them.

Amen to that brother, that was my original choice (to create a single folder and throw all the apps in there). Question, does it organize them for you in an alphabetical order?
I was afraid of that. I thought the method used by most of the Android like operating systems from the days of lollipop - - - nougat, did a bang on job of app organizing. My last iOS was the original iPhone 2g, and later the iPhone 4.
Personally, Xiaomi missed the boat with that (MIUI / iOS)
