I have a question. If I link my official xbox live account to my phone, is there a chance my xbox live account will get banned or reset?

is there any application or way to spoof my location? for example, i am subject to games that are blacked out due to my location in the United States for the application NBA league pass, and i need a way to bypass this by telling the application i am some place where i actually am not.
thanks in advance for any responses
you can spoof your ip address which will show that your connection is in a different place. and no i cannot tell you where to get something that can spoof your ip... google.com

Correct me if I'm wrong, but NBA league pass is a directv app, right? Linked with your directv account... and its location is based on the MAILING ADDRESS that you gave to directv, and I believe that this means that your *actual* location is irrelevant.

Actually, if the NBA LP app is anything like NBA LP Broadband, which I believe it is, they do blackouts based on internet service location. I use my friends NBA Broadband account and he registered and lives in LA. I'm in Houston and Rockets games are blacked out for me. So it doesn't matter where you bought the subscription because it blacks out based on where you are when you are watching.
Hello there. I have the 25 digit code, and have successfully activated my windows live account on my HD2. But when entering Marketplace, i get this message:
"Either Xbox LIVE or Marketplace for Windows Phone isn't offered yet in your country/region. Please check back later."
What can I do? WP7 is kind of boring without Marketplace access.
NB: I've tried to change my country settings under my windows live ID to USA, from Denmark. But still, same error message.

you have a make a new windows live ID from a country where it is supported. Change your locale to that country in your phone. Log in with your new information (you might have to hard reset), and BAM! it works.
I got the same problem.
I'm from Brazil and have a XBox Live Gold account (from that country).
I make the activation with that account and even the marketplace or xbox live games hub not work.
It's a shame that Microsoft don't make the MarketPlace available WorldWide when not exist in a specific region.
Anyone could make that work with a secondary account (just adding it)? Or have to hard reset?
Damn... i really want to use it with that xbox live account.
Microsoft just answer my question with this event: http://windowsteamblog.com/windows_...er-news-beta-mango-tools-available-today.aspx
When i go to avatar Marketplace an click on an item (not the free ones) it tells me:
Purchase not available
If the Parental Settings for Xbox LIVE membership allow you to make purchases, you can buy this content using your Xbox 360 console.
But i don't have an Xbox 360 console. How can i buy it directly from my Windows Phone?
try going to xbox.com and logging in with your credentials, you should be able to set parental controls from there.

Google has changed the way it handles stores. You need to have a US addressed account to reach US store. Location or IP do not matter now. So instead of faking IP, do an account with US address.
money wasted...

I suggest you try Hidemyass VPN Service One of the best service. The connection speed is awesome. Helps me watch us tv shows and easily use google play store
My 6 year old son threw a tantrum today and destroyed my SGH-1337m's LCD. I'd like to replace it with a Google Edition S4, but I'm having a hell of a time getting to the US google play devices website. I live in Canada and somehow Google manages to detect that I'm not from the US. I have a US credit card available and I can get it shipped to a US address - I just need to be able to order the damn thing and for that I need the US Play store to think I'm in the US. But I'm having a hell of a time tricking it into believing that.
First, I tried signing out of my gmail/google account and creating a new one with 'US' as the country. No good. I still get the "Unavailable in your country" web page.
Fair enough - they're doing IP tracking, I guess, right? So I tried connecting to play.google.com through a VPN into San Francisco. This is a VPN connection that has never failed to spoof a service or website into thinking that I'm in the US. Hulu, Netflix, whatever. And yet Google still tells me that the site is "Unavailable in your country".
Someone suggested that it might be that Chrome itself is somehow tipping play.google.com off, so I tried Safari and I tried Chrome in incognito mode. No good. The GE S4 is still "Unavailable in your country".
I think to myself that this is getting kind of crazy and I look around the net for more suggestions. Someone in a stackexchange post suggests that Google is figuring this out by IP-locating not just the request that your https request came in over, but also the DNS request for play.google.com itself?
I noticed that play.google.com is just a CNAME for www3.l.google.com. When I dig for the IP address in Canada, I get play.google.com resolved to a range of addresses from 74.125.225.193 - 74.125.225.206. When I look up the DNS from the US using a website DNS lookup tool, however, play.google.com resolves to a range of addresses from 173.194.46.0 - 173.194.46.14. AHA!
So I edit my /etc/hosts file so that play.google.com always resolves to 173.194.46.0. And yet somehow, the US Google Play devices store and in it the Google Edition Galaxy S4 is still "Unavailable in your country".
Does anyone have anymore ideas?
If you can get it shipped to an address in the US, have that person order it?

Alas, I'm ordering it myself. I'm getting it shipped to Hagen's of Blaine (which is a shipping company). I live in Vancouver so I can drive over to pick it up when it arrives. And for the credit card I'm using entropay.
At this point I could probably just order a vm on a hosting service like Azure and pay from an RDP session to the VM - that would be fool-proof. But I'm really interested now in how Google is figuring out that I'm not in the U.S. Accessing their US IP addresses from an incognito window going through a VPN that's spilling my packets into the internet in San Fran should really be sufficient. But somehow they're still catching me.
I guess this is why they get paid the big bucks.

I access the US Play Store while using UnblockUS service. I use the service mainly for Netflix and other television streaming sites, not specifically for the US Play Store of course

Yeah - I'm using StrongVPN. I thought about trying UnblockUS, but I saw some complaints on their forums saying that Google made some sort of a change and now UnblockUS can't be used to get to the play store. The UnblockUS req said, and I'm paraphrasing here, that "accessing the Google Play Store from UblockUS isn't supported."

So unblockus works for you? Can you access the Devices part of the Google Play store with it?

The last time I attempted to access the Play Store Devices was about 3 weeks ago with UnblockUS region settings set to USA. It worked then, I'm working and won't be able to test from home again for a couple weeks though. However UnblockUS does have a free trial
