Hey,
I just got a short question. I read some threads but couldn't find the correct answer.
I am not able to get an activation code here in my region. No way, nor email, nor chat, nor phone... if it works they ask for imei!
So reading through some threads and using google I found WP7 Desktop Marketplace. Now i'm downloading all the application from the desktop marketplace and install them to my phone.
So my question, are there the same apps than in the marketplace on the phone? Whats the difference?
So in this case i wouldn't need an activation code because I can install apps from the desktop market?
thank you
EDIT: in fact the major question is, if both are the same? Or why everybody aks for an actionvation code if they could also do it this way?

1. There is a Macromedia Flash release (v. 6 or v. 7) for your phone. You will either need the HTC Streaming Media app or Opera Mobile in order to play YouTube videos. Do a search.
2. Text messages--Go to settings, and under the "personal" tab, click on "sounds and notification"--Go to "notifications" tab, and select SMS under event and assign your ringtone.
3. I am using the "Black Satin" version of WM6.
4. For all others, please do a search. I have IM+ installed which takes care of AIM among other chat services. It's a paid-for program. There's also Agile.

Hello All,
First off, I want to thank everyone whos cooked and added information on these forums.
Also I want to state beforehand that for the past 3 days I have gone through countless pages of threads to try and learn as much as I can on ROMs & the such.... its a lot of info! Thats not so much the problem, as I have a pretty good idea now on how to do it (though haven't decided on a custom ROM yet), but the problem is some of it so scattered you can easily have 20 tabs open and either get confused or something.
I have been unable to find (and if there is forgive me for not searching well enough), a thread, topic, or FAQ which would state where you can get programs (ie. Windows Live/Messenger, Internet Sharing, etc) that some ROMs remove. Thats really what has held me back so far from flashing a new ROM, as I really like some of these, but they might be missing certain things I would need (like messenger, or even maybe 5 fav?) but I can't find exact information on all of this.
Edit: I understand if I want to find a program I can just Google it. But what if I don't know theres this awesome program I have never tried or heard before? Can't google a program I don't know! That's why I ask if there is a thread, site that would list them all, or a good amount. I know there couple threads here and there that display default HTC ones, and maybe some odd others.
If anyone can please help me out, or direct me where I can find more info on this I would be really grateful! I might have future questions from then on but i'll definitely be searching to keep the asking to a minimum.
One other question I do have right now is the Radio version. I know theres a thread on a current version, but I see some ppl already have a version higher than that.. is there a place where you can find the current version always, and also, when u flash ROM, does that update your Radio too.. or is it seperate?
Thank you in advance all who help!
I really do hope to be part of this community.
Well I took the dive (woot!) and HARDSPL my phone succesfully. Just finished flashing the default OEM rom and upgrading to the newest radio as well without any problems thanks to all the info you guys provided.
I can't wait to get home (where I have really bad reception) and see if this truely helped me. Im in the mood now to play with all your ROMs as well (I feel like a kid at christmas).
Update: Flashed Open 7.7 and loving it. just need to get used to this brave new world..
Status:
Play and get used to this!
My only concern, and one i cannot find so far is.. at the moment i have no MyFav program.. if i call my currents fav i had will T-Mobile still know, or do i have to have the myfav program installed on my phone so i don't get my minutes charged for calling them?
New concern is i keep getting a text from "4670" saying WCI 1.1 111 every so often, is that normal when you get this program?
Another question: When I install programs, must they always be installed ON the Device, or can I install them on the Storage Card? If i do will they work fine? (or some u can, some u can't.. and some examples)?
Sorry for all the questions!
I install all my programs to storage card. haven't had any problems there. I deleted myfavs because t-mobile stores your favs on their system, so when you call a fav their system should recognize the number. the myfavs program uses memory is why I deleted it.
the text you are getting I don't know what to tell you on that.
sounds like you have the rest down pretty good
????
How did you delete the my fav program? any assistance would be helpful
Hey everyone,
I have spent the last 2 hours looking through threads for the most recent update for the tomtom navigation on my tmobile htc hd2, but I can't seem to find anything! I have heard some rumors that you can download the program but not maps for free?
Is there a way to download both for free? If so, where at? Also if you have information, I know you can't post on the blog so please PM me.'
Thanks!

my friend just sorted out the tom tom7 with maps for me over the phone just yesterday for free
You're not supposed to talk piracy round these parts....
you didnt look that hard then, there is a great thread in the apps section and in here search
ok so i found a site to download the app but it only gives the option for a VGA and a QVGA download. would either of those work on the htc hd2 because it is a WVGA?
i use the vga version, if you need help google
I'm closing this as there is already a deleted reference to another site that hosts warez.

Hi All,
Hope this place is still as useful as ever
I'm expecting my new galaxy s phone which i got as an upgrade from vodafone uk. I want to use a three sim card in it so:
1. Would it come sim-locked? if so, is it easy to unlock? if so, where's the best place to buy unlocking codes or even better free unlock it?
2. If i want to use Skype on three (to make free calls) through the iSkoot app. Where can I get a working version of this? What settings do i need to play with? and do you think it will work? Heard that it might still use the included minutes. I want it to be totally free as i will use it extensively.
3. What's the latest best rom to install? Bear in a mind that i'm totally new to Android (Been a windows mobile person for so long) so might need some beginner's guide
Thanks everyone.
Q1: I have seen an unlock app ... would need to try find where, might have been on the marketplace ... you may need to enable root access first though.
Q2: Can't help if you specifically want iskoot ... but there is a Galaxy S Skype available from 3 themselves as they do the handset on contract.
Q3: No idea . Kinda new here too having just moved from WinMo about 1.5 weeks ago!
What purpose the the USB connection service?
If we connect A7 to computer via USB what will we be able to do?
It apparently doesn't show in Explorer and it does charge; so I wonder what it is on the A7 for.
Does anyone know.
I wanted to delete some of the applications, but there doesn't seem to be any way to do so. I tried putting finger on Amazon MP3 (and a few others) and sliding to Trash Can, but that doesn't remove the icon. I tried going to Managing Applications Uninstall, but that doesn't remove the application.
How do we remove icons from the desktop? How can we remove apps we do not want? Such as Facebook, Amazon, Amazon MP3, Fring, Kindle, Appoke,Twidroyd Pro and Alkido. How do we remove them the icons and how do we uninstall the apps? Or does Elocity prevent us from removing these apps? If so, that is quite unfair I would say.
Please respond and than you.
Alice
BTW- How would I contact Elocity?
May I suggest going to the Elocity website and downloading their user manual?

It may help in answering many of your questions.

Thanks. I did look in the manual but no answers to my questions and that is why I posted the questions here. The forum is used for questions and I am trying if any other A7 users have possible answers to my original questions about deleting icons from the desktop, uninstalling applications, etc. I hope someone has had the same questions when they first received their A7s and have found solutions and would be able to enlighten me.
People asking questions is what keeps a forum functioning I belive and allows novices to learn more about their new purchase (A7 in this case). If no one has a solution, they would not need to answer a post.
Thanks (just trying to learn)
Alice
