As a new user of a HD7 I am trying to purchase aps from Market Place but cannot register my credit card details because :-
I'm British living in The Netherlands.
My UK bank / credit cards have my Dutch address as the account address as is normal, but even when I set up the HD7 settings to show Netherlands as my region the Market Place credit card address page always defaults to ENGLAND as the country of address. Hence my cards cannot be recognised.
I need to change the Market Place address to default to Netherlands but it won't
What can I do ???
hi mjn1949
i think you have to play with region/language under settings
you have region format, system locale and browser/ search language, change settings there, you said you changed region but did you change system locale?
cheers and have a gr8 day
thanks button is next to qoute button
not sure if this will work, but... try my app, Market Select.
Market Select allows one to change Marketplace region.
region returns to default with every Soft Reset.

Thanks for the help guys but where can I find 'My App' etc.
Can't find it anywhere ?

Thanks once again. I've copied Htc_Apps.xap to my PC but I am a complete novice a this. Could you guide me through the process please.
Things were so much easier on my HTC HD2 ( WM 6.5 ).
not sure what Htc_Apps.xap is, but it certainly isn't my Market Select app.
you don't know what to do with an XAP file?
hmm. I am guessing you haven't ever unlocked your device, then... if that is the case, you won't be able to sideload XAP files.
if you want to load a Custom ROM to unlock your device, see the tutorial I wrote. link in my signature.

Hi,
Does anybody know these settings for the xda mini s?
Really need them!
Thanks.
You need the .cab file (Operator settings)
club i-mate has all operator settings in .cab format (copy to memory card and run it!).
But if you don't have access to their site, either search these forums for a .cab file (Orange operator settings) or contact Orange themselves (whilst they may be reluctant at first, their technical support guys will guide you through the settings or send them to you in txt format via e-mail and you can input them manually).
Hope this helps. Worked for me with o2. 8)
If anyone already has this cab file, would you mind uploading it for those who need it or pint them in the direction of a download link? Thanks.
[Edit]
Turned out that the lovely chinese governement somehow got to Android
Anyhow, thanks to Marcus, we have the solution, tested & confirmed working by myself.
Please follow the instructions at that link :
hiapk.com/bbs/thread-278678-1-1.html
Then you'll be happy. If you need more detailed informations, let me know.
I haven't been trying to understand the changes I made. If you somehow feel that it's a problem for you, then leave the phone as is. Also, I guess this will be usable only for rooted phones.
Have fun! And once again, thanks to Marcus.

[original post, FYI]
Hey all,
Starting yesterday, I am having this error with the market.
Any app I try to get will give me that error : download was unsuccessful, please try again blah~
Weird thing is that it really happened out of the blue, because it was working fine until yest noon. I am on CM 5.0.7.1-N1, with the radio that came with Froyo. Issue exists with Wi-Fi and 3G.
I tried : reboot (multiple times), newer CM, Nandroid restore to a point when it was working, deleted/recreated APN.
I m too lazzy to try and downgrade the radio, and haven't tried to install Froyo.
Strange thing is : gmail app won't connect, but the email app will work (well, I knew that it isn't an internet access related issue, but still...). If I try and install a ROM from scratch, the initial Google login will fail again and again.
Actually, I have one suspicion. I am in Beijing, on China Unicom. I know that China hasn t been kind on Google lately. Any other user in China experiencing this same issue? Or does this just happen sometimes?
Thanks!
I am in GuangDong, and for the past 2 days similar things just happened to me.
I didn't use the GMail app but now you mentioned it, I tried it and it didn't work. It is stuck with "No connection (Retry)" screen
Using Email and setup a GMail account works fine with me as well.
Hopefully, this is not one of the other 'stunt' of the Great China Firewall.
Argh...
I do believe that we may be f***ed, at least temporarily...
Let s see where it goes, but if you do experience the same troubles, then it might a nation-wide thingy.
Are you on China Unicom, too?
Only time will tell.... But let's hope we won't have to give up on Android in China.
Any other Android friends in China having troubles? I ll update the title of the tread, see if we can catch more people's eyes.
Re: [In China only ?] Market : suddenly, "Download was unsuccessful..."
I'm in Shanghai and can only access market apps and gmail syncing with my vpn.

i have htc dseire and now same problem happened in shanghai too .
Solved
Guys there is a fix here: hiapk.com/bbs/thread-278678-1-1.html
Good Luck
Marcus
Hey, good catch!
Will give it a shot, then report back here how it went.
Thanks
[Edit] It works! Follow Marcus link, and you ll get unstuck.
If anybody needs detailed directions, feel free to let me know.
Will edit the title and original post.
Romain
***EDIT
Gmail and the Market work on my US simcard roaming on China Unicom.
I'm in Guangdong; i've also had the same issues with Gmail and the Market at the same time. Both don't work on the network (Unicom) or WiFI connections; I'll have to give that fix a try later, thanks.
Hello!
Can somebody translate the procedure into English?
Thanks!
The procedure is to edit your host file with the information shown.
I m happy to share this, so here is the easy way to do:
1-get the file rootexplorer, which is attached here, if you don't have it.
2- install it, of course If you do not have a file explorer to get to it, then push the file.
3- open it, then find the folder /etc, open it
4- remember to touch the button "Mount R/W" to change the status of the text r/o into r/w right next to the button.
5- find the file called "hosts", and long press it. scroll all the way down to "Open in Text Editor"
6- there is already a line of stuff in there, so just skip a line and type :
209.85.135.100 clients2.google.com1
209.85.135.101 android.l.google.com
209.85.135.100 android.clients.google.com
underneath. I guess the spacing does not really matter, but they have to be each on a different line, as shown here. Also, it is a pain in the ass to type, so make sure there is no typo at first try
7- in options, save&exit (it creates a backup by itself)
8- reboot (not sure if that s necessary)
9- it works
there you go.
Does this fix works with a phone not rooted?

Hi, I am guessing that no, it won't, since you need to access root files. I m not sure but seems to make sense to me.
Sorry! Also, this is what is preventing me to go straight away to Samsung i9000, since it isn't rooted yet...
I didn't root my Legend yet and if i do so and the fix doesn't work, I will be stuck with the phone with no app on it.
At least now I have all my apps and only Gmail and the Market don't work.
Any idea from where this issue come from and if it will resolve itself?
It's the end of the chinese holiday... so maybe some hope...
sorry i m naive in the field of this mobile tech world .
i reached to the hosts file through your solution but i can't change read only files to write
this rooting stuff looks too complicated for htc desire .
is there any other way , without roooting my desire
Sorry, mate. I don't own a desire, so I really cannot help with this issue.
True enough, it's only those two apps which will not work, but still a little annoying to have to go and look online for the apps and to download them manually.
Ask on the Desire forum about this
4- remember to touch the button "Mount R/W" to change the status of the text r/o into r/w right next to the button.
In my htc desire i can't get this "mount r/w" is its the functionality of root explorer . because i can't see any option to change from r/o to r/w
Hey, what can i do if my phone isn't rooted?
Same problem as everyone has, apps not installing and no gmail.
I dont get it, why it happened. Stupid Great firewall.
I have froyo 2.2. how can i root it just to change hosts files? dont want any custom roms tho. tnx
Where are the APN settings stored? I mean the file or whatever. Can I backup them?
Thanks.
They are not in the phone. You should add it manually. You can contact your network operator to configure it correctly or you can find the settings on your network operator web page.

Actually, they are In some database, or something...
You can backup and restore them using an app on the market ("APN backup and restore", or something like that, not using it personally...)

Mine are set up automatically, I don't have to do anything
well, thx for that I will have a look in the market ... I thought they are stored in a file or whatever, on the phone.
cause I need to enter them after each flash
Edit: got the app --> http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.riteshsahu.APNBackupRestore
File with APN is stored on "apns-conf.xml" somewhere, i dont know exactly where, sdcard or root (cannot serch, charging my galaxy with power off, right now). I have same file from cyanogen firmware, but dont know prepare for our device, always have some error. This file have APN data almost from all world operators.

yes I saw those APN of the other operators. after backing up with the app I looked into this .xml file which is generated by the app and I got 60 entries. but i see only mine in the settings pane on the phone, how come
That was me strange too. But i think, maybe when you etc. go in roaming or chnging SIM card from other operator, connecting with this other operator, we got other APN points in Settings panel. I was make this, and have APN , hanging from wich operater sim card is in my galaxy...(T-Mobile Croatia, VIPnet, and Tele2)

Backup:
go to contacts then go to more options>import/export contacts>Export to SD card.
Restore:
go to contacts then go to more options>import/export contacts>Import from SD card.
But i faced one issue with this method i exported all my contacts to SD card and later i imported all the contacts from SD card again.. but in all the contacts + symbol was missing.. normally i used to save the number in this format (+91-123456789) "+91" is my country code..
After importing all the contacts form SD card the '+' sign was missing(i.e.91123456789). When i tried to call it is dialing with the number 91123456789 and saying plz check the number.
so try to back up only one contact and restore it again and check hw it is??
Thanks mat..
but as mentioned above I checked I dont have option of export only import and when I click on it,. its came with pop up. "No SNS Site search"
Even on the on more option I can only see,.1)View Form, 2) Delete Contacts,3)Hide Picture, 4)Information..
waiting for suggestions..,
Surf the Market, there are lots of free Backup Applications out there!
use LG PC Suite...
works gr8 for me.

What ROM you are using??
Mine is Official 2.1 ROM
Hi
So as you guys can see, when the first time you turn the phone on you can see the Theme app or Mi Store but when you choose your region they disappear! why?! That's because some services are specially edited for some regions!
Here I tell you how to make these apps UNDISAPPEAR
before we start please hit the thanks button
OK, Here we go:
1- Open Setting
2- In the search box, type "Region" and hit the search button
3- Open Region
4- Choose India
5- Close settings
Now if you go to home screen and swipe pages, you will see Theme app and other apps that have been disappeared.
Also you will have some special features in some apps like Music app
Done.
Notes:
1- If you change region, everything will be the same as before
2- don't worry about changing Region to India because nothing will go wrong even apps or websites which depend on your region or time zone because they check your location not region of your phone!
Don't forget to hit thanks button :laugh::fingers-crossed:
I wish i could get the miui 12 update this way, but i wont work.
