Welcome to Windows Mobile and congratulations on your new HD2
I'm pretty crazy about my phone
Are you getting any error messages when you try to install something?
A lot of the apps out there aren't "signed" and so the unaltered operating system won't allow them to be installed. The necessary alterations to your phone to make this possible may (okay, will most likely) void your factory warranty.
On the bright side, the apps available for download through Microsoft's Marketplace should be signed and available for install. Flip side of that: most will probably be paid apps.
If you want to install anything on your phone, you will have to bite the bullet and install HSPL.
Hope this helps!
how would i install the hspl on the fone ive been reading the trends and well it tells me thers a way to back up the original os so i can install it if a waranty issue comes up and well the market place apps suk lol i know this fone is more capable then microsoft lets it be its like putting a kid and a candy store and sayin you can only have dis but dont tuch that

You need to download Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) for your PC, it's the version of activesync that works on Vista/7.
how do you guys manage to sync it with some syncing software, i mean i was trying to install some apk and games, i just can't use my apk installing software on pc, cuz the device is not found, the only thing i can do when i connect hd2 to pc is using it as a usb drive, and it's in the debugging mode. anybody has any ideas how can i make it sync with my apk installing software or can you give me a way to install some apk to my hd2, much appreciate it
Why did you post this question in both forums?
This one is for development only...

I think you are Chinese, so try Wandoujia at Wandoujia.com. This software is invented by the company of former president of Google Greater China.
I tried to download the XBOX Live extras from the marketplace, and now it just seems that its stuck on installing application in the downloads window. Can someone help me please?
This is not an issue with the WP7 build. It is working superbly on my phone along with Android Desire HD on the SD Card. The issue is with your phone, the installation, the sd card, or something else. But not the build. Look around the XDA HD2 treads the answers are here.
I had this to, ths fix is as follows:
1. Unlock with chevron
2. Install xblive extras from xap using toms xap installer or marketplace for windows pc installer.
3. Uninstall from the phone
4. install again from the marketplace
Hope this helps you as much as it did me.

You joking mate, right?
As you surely know rolleyes with WP7 you must use Zune to transfer you files (music, pics and videos) onto your device coz this OS is extremely different from WM 6.5 or Android
The zune software rocks! and sexy and silky!
download the latest zune from the market associate folders to zune after install... then plugin phone and transfer wateva u want from inside zune..hops this was some help
no need to download any from market to transfer files to phone... only Zune is enough
you must download zune from internet to pc and install

android depends, if you have android on nand then u can directly plugin USB and use it like a pen drive. But if you are running android from the sd card you need to download an app called multimount sd. Actually the app works in both modes so it's hassle free no need to enable USB every time. Hope this answers ur question
Thanks man.
Is this the only way? There's a lite version of the app would this do?

Hey guys, i looked around and couldnt find a thread so here's one.
I want to know, how did you all install windows8 pro? Did you do a clean install or installed without wiping anything?
I read on the internet that you can't install windows with a full wipe. After you do that, Microsoft blocks the activation of product key even if it's legit. MS says that windows 8 pro is only meant as an upgrade. What the f*** does this mean? Why is Microsoft having any objections on how we use something that we have bought legally?
Here's one article.
Let me know your thought on this. Did you face such an error while installing Windows?
I installed windows 8 without wiping. When im in windows 8 i backup everything i want then proceed to reset it to factory settings which it'll clean the c drive. Never had any problems with the activation. Oh i bought the online pro version which cost $39.99.
However the only problem i have is everytime it reboots my mouse will not work forcing me to restart again to get my mouse working. Otherwise its good.
// Edit:
Forgotten to mention it was an upgrade from windows 7.
I also did make the downloaded W8 installation into iso and make it into usb installation via windows 7 usb tool and install from the usb on top of windows 8 for a clean installation and everything works well too.
If problem still persist you may try to install windows 7 and upgrade from there then while you're in windows 8 do a factory reset which doesn't require you to insert the cd or usb for the reset (+1 for that feature though). That's just me~

I got windows 8 Pro from dreamspark and it came as an iso. I burned it to a dvd and formatted my hard drive before installing.

Wtfhx, what does an upgrade even mean? Are we supposed to install win8 from the desktop of windows7? Or boot the PC from a CD and install from there? If it is the later, then how will it even know what is my operating system?

I installed windows 8 from windows 7 desktop as the installation was downloaded into my c drive. However i also tried installing from an usb from a direct boot into the usb (im sure it'll work the same as CD). Upgrading can only means you must have an existing OS such as windows 7 and install windows 8 from the CD inside windows 7.
Regarding to your problem about the activation caused by not an upgrade, i would suggest you to install windows 7 without activating it and run the windows 8 installation from the CD inside windows 7. I have not encountered your problem before but to troubleshoot it you may have to go extra length with what i have suggested. (Doesn't mean it'll 100% work)
Other ways to troubleshoot if the above fail is to try the usb installation with Windows 7 USB Tool. Before you use it you must turn your windows 8 installation cd into ISO with freewares like ImgBurn.
Not sure if any of these will help you but if both the solutions above fail, you may need to contact Microsoft or the dealer you purchased your copy of windows 8 about it.
// Edit
Wait are you having problem with the installation or you're just asking is there any problem with the installation?

You may do either. The installation handles everything. At some people, it may request your Windows 7 key and other times it detects the installation automatically.
I am not having any problem. I read that if you install windows8 using a clean install Microsoft won't let you activate the product key.
Just a question, did you click install Windows just like you'd any other game?

In that case, there is no problem whatsoever with my copy of installation downloaded from the Microsoft. Both installing from windows 7 desktop (Upgrading and yes it's like installing games) and usb booting installation (Considering it did not load my current OS first so this doesn't count as upgrading, i might be wrong), complete without the activation problem. Not sure about the physical copy but my guess is the result will still be the same. Others might have bought a bad copy of the installation disc, i don't know.
The best thing is, once you have windows 8 installed without any problem.. you do not need the installation files anymore. Reinstalling windows 8 can be done easily.

I bought the $40 "upgrade" and did a full wipe clean install. Nothing to it.

I did almost the same thing. I downloaded it from Microsoft and chose keep nothing , it loaded and I started with a clean laptop. I did not burn an iso or download it to an USB drive, I used the download.
Before I loaded win8 I used double driver and copied all my drivers to a backup, just in case I had an issue, I also did a full backup of everything else. I'm really enjoying it, but there are still a few places I use secure wifi that don't recognize windows 8 as being a valid os, they also dont recognize the windows defender as being a valid antivirus software, but otherwise I've been impressed. I was going to purchase a new laptop with a touch screen but I don't have any reason to now.

i did an upgrade without getting anything over from win 7...
Just to preface, Windows had marked my system as not being genuine (I know this because Microsoft security essentials wouldn't allow me to install it). I updated on top of Windows 7 since didn't want to install all of my apps all over again. I download the update and installed it right from my hard drive as opposed to a usb or dvd, although I did make a backup copy of the windows 8 file just in case.
Everything is okay except it takes a while (roughly 15 minutes) for windows to recognize my Intel graphics chip right away. The screen will just be black after the Windows logo appears. Also, if you update directly from your hard drive, make sure you delete your temporary files because windows will keep the old OS and files. After clearing mine I freed up 32 GB!
*Update*
After installing windows 8 and enabling then installing the windows updates, my laptop boots up just fine now ( and mighty quick I add). As others have said, I don't believe windows cares if your version of windows 7 is genuine or not.

Hi,
Thought I would share my experience:
I downloaded and installed the upgrade version. I was running Windows 7 Pro before.
After downloading the files, I wrote it to a disk and decided to do what I did for Win7, manual format and repartition my disks (I didnt trust the "Keep Nothing" option )
Unfortunately, I forgot I had a dynamic disk and my Win7 partition was booting off it - I formatted my C:\ and was met with a "Cannot create partition... / cannot install windows on dynamic disk"... it was a long painful process that took me most of the day to fix. Also, there is a bug with installing Win8 with multiple hard drives booting from disk or at least I had some trouble with it until I detached 2 of them for the install to progress.
After all that, the key wouldn't activate because it wasn't technically an upgrade... *face palm*
So, in went the Win7 disk, reinstalled and activated. After initial boot, I put in the Win8 CD and used the wizard and selected "Keep Nothing" ( At this point I couldn't care less)
All activated and now enjoying the system
Moral of the story:
- Stay away from dynamic disks on the boot partition, it'll warn you if you try - heed the warning!
- Multiple harddrives may cause issues with the install so you might need to disable them through bios or disconnect them from the mobo
- For me the Key only activated via an install, it wouldn't recognize it when I formatted C:\ through custom install.
- Did I mention? STAY AWAY FROM DYNAMIC DISKS!!!

Mine shows it being activated and has a link for me to click on which shows my product key and shows current edition : Windows 8 Pro with Media Center. The activation date isn't available but that's the only thing unavailable.
Hope this helps

Mine activated first try no problem
It's only the box copies that are sold in retail stores that are upgrade-only packages. A few will only sell full retail versions of Windows 8. These versions are more likely a hundred bucks more than the upgrade version. The copy downloaded from the Microsoft Store are full Windows 8 Pro copies.
What? Are you sure??

I upgraded my notebook from within 7 no problem. My desktop i bought the upgrade, and installed from a USB that the upgrade advisor program created. However i formatted the HD before installing and did a clean install and it never asked for any proof that i had windows 7 on my PC previously. Its fully activated and fine.
I have heard that in some countries it will even let you upgrade a pirate copy of 7 if the upgrade advisor program doesn't flag it.
