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.

Did you by any chance insert a us/canada sim on the device?

You should consider a lumia device for the full potential of windows phone ...
On proximus network lumia 620 for only one euro
That's very strange, I have a Lumia 920 and it works perfectly fine.
I live in Belgium as well

Hi,
I got one of those great phones a couple of days ago. The Chinese premium dual sim - EVA-AL10. It works with my mobile provider, but I have an issue with the mobile internet. It would not show the configuration SMS and when I attempted manual configuration it will not save the APN if I change the default MCC and MNC. The default phone values are MCC 204 and MNC 04. The technical support of my provider (Bob in Bulgaria) instructed me to enter MCC 284 and MNC 01. But if I do this, when I click save the configuration is not there. If I create it without changing the default values it saves, but if I change them later on save the configuration disappears as well. The support told me this could mean the telephone is locked or incompatible with networks outside of China, but they were not sure what the problems is. I am using the original Chinese ROM. The seller offered to flash something they called international version ROM, for the additional languages they said. I refused in order for the them not to unseal the box. I wonder if this "International" ROM is going to solve my problem, but I cannot find it anywhere? Or do I need some kind of unlock code or firmware? Any information is much appreciated!
My phone build number: EVA-AL10C00B151
Baseband: 21.198.00.00.031
Hi,
I received that very same model yesterday. I live in Spain and have no problem using it with 2 different operators here. I guess at least it works with some operators outside china.
Although I have no problem with my voice or internet access with either of the 2 SIMs, I am actively looking for an international ROM to flash it. As you may know, there are some non-removable chinese apps, being the more annoying the one that tries to update things with the chinese version of the program (HiApp). Voice detection is chinese oriented so some funny things happen when trying to activate the function Like when they force you to read the activation words in chinese, or the chinese words for answering the phone or others
My model is EVA-AL10, Android 6.0, EMUI 4.1 and compilation number EVA-AL10C00B168.
Ask your "seller" to explain you exactly "which" ROM they are going to use and that is in fact compatible with the capabilities of your hardware. Thing is I've been looking for an international ROM for this model since before I bought it but I wasn't able to find one. Make sure they do not use a ROM compatible with european models but which do not support dual sim. I think it is supposed to be released a version for european market but is still not released (EVA-L29). forum.xda-developers.com/p9/help/eva-l29-stock-rom-eva-l10-t3387185/page2
Best of lucks!

What do you mean by "unseal the box"? Your provider wanted to flash the international version firmware for you. That is an official one therefore won't void your warranty. Moreover some chinese resellers like Alibaba do flash international version for phones sold outside of China. You can let the customer support of your provider to flash that version.
Hey,
My problems with data turned out to be, because the operator was instructing me to configure my Dutch sim instead of my Bulgarian one Figured that out, now internet access works great. Very nice phone! The seller would not give me any information about what ROM they were going to install. If you find an international version (after it gets out), please let me know.
I don't trust Chinese sellers too much. Better to use Chinese ROM than to have a phone that was thrown around a couple of months as demo device in some Chinese store.
Could somebody list all the chinese apps, which are installed out of the box? I just want to compare it with my Honor 7 (also chinese version)
Hi there.
I'm also purchased the Chinese version of P9 plus VIE-AL10, dual sim.
It's working just fine with both my operators (voice, internet, SMS, MMS and wifi) but I can't register my phone with Huawei ID cause supports only Chinese area phones. There are many apps needing Huawei ID to work and without it, are unusable...
So, I'm looking for a solution, if there is any.
My phone Version # is VIE-AL10C00B176
and I live in Greece.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Nicholas.
hI! I use this model EVA AL10 in India...The phone works flawlessly despite China specific firmware and the chinese language in the stock browser and other Huawei is only a minor annoyance. i was horrified when the android wear apps from Playstore AND HiApp refused to pair with my phone....i get a message ...use an android wear in china device! its such a shame...the only option seems to be rooting the phone and installing the international rom everyone keeps talking about...please help
I buy Google Pixel XL 4/32 and I wanted to put my SIM card and I live in Europe/Belarus, but it sees the SIM card but does not define the connection and configure nothing, only after some time it dawned on me to look at my model and it is the G-2PW2100 and then I read and found on the Internet a sign where is written that this is only for the United States and Leah somehow to reflash it or what to do, please help
P. S. I don't really know English and therefore, the part translated in the translator, do not judge strictly

Unless the phone is SIM-locked, usability of SIM-card depends on carrier / service provider, is neither related to phone's brand / model, nor to phone's actual geolocation.
Look inside phone's purchase contract / description whether it's SIM-locked or not.
