[Solved] Multiple Accounts Activation - HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an

Can I take steps to allow both myself and my brother to switch between using our two Windows Live accounts on wp7 on the HD2?
If this is possible, what steps will I need to take when we want to switch Windows Live accounts? Reflash? or is there more?
I'm not too clear about what the activation actually does, what chevron does, etc. and where to stop so that I can switch eventually. Does a reflash require a re-activation? Is activation tied to the live account?
Can someone help me out?
Thanks.

you can add additional live account but this is only for mail
but you can switch to another account with LEO Advanced for WP7 v1.0.8 but is buggy and read my comment how to fix this

Yeah the active sync program allows you to sync with gmail, its push, when i send a test to myself it comes instant and when i send, it sends within 2-3 minutes. Click on START, TOOLS, then click active sync, add account and enter your gmail information, let it automatically get the settings. You CANT sync calendar or tasks, only check mail and contacts and it will work like a charm

I sync Contacts, Mail AND Calendar with my Gmail account. They've been supporting Calendar for a while now, the only thing they don't support is Task syncing.

[Q] Change Live ID or Zune Region

Hi all,
I have successfully activated WP7 on the HD2, but I made a critical mistake:
When I created my Zune account, you have to fill in your country/region. I filled in the Netherlands. But if you don't fill in a supported country here, Marketplace won't work, because you CANNOT change the country of your ZUNE account.
You can change the country of your live/hotmail account, but that won't help (and you will get an error in zune).
My question now: Is there any way to change my Zune-account/create a new Zune account on the same Live ID?
If not, when I hard-reset my phone to connect it to another live ID, do I have to call MS again for an activation code?
Same problem here. I think I tried just about everything.
I think the only solution is to hardreset the phone and setup a whole new live-account and call again with microsoft for the activation code on the new live-account
If there's anyway to solve it, please share it
I think you can revoke your Live ID from your phone on your Windows Phone page (on this one you can make ring your phone, erase your data or even block the phone). I don't know the URL but I got the page navigating Parameters>Locate my phone menu
Let's give it a try
I've done a reset of the phone and connected with a brand new live-id. I called Microsoft to get a new key, but without succes. The guy told me I had to go to HTC. This morning a lady helped me very well.
So I tried the key i got this morning, it worked perfect! Only problem of course is that i have multiple e-mail acounts on my phone. I'm not really sure how the connection with SkyDrive is, but I think I'll have to upload my photos to my new live-id.
Do you guys think MS will just give us a new activation code if we just tell the (partial) truth? So saying we want to change our Live-ID on WP7?
Because this issue is not limited to HD2-users, but also to "normal" WP7 users that want to use the market in countries without support.
You don't need a new activation code. A single code will work fine for multiple activations.

I think the URL is windowsphone.live.com, but I can't revoke my ID there. It still won't solve my problems if I could, because I want to revoke my ZUNE ID, so I can set it up again...

Even with a different Live ID? And within 30 days?
Ok guys, I can confirm it works!
What I did:
1. hard reset the phone
2. create a new Windows Live ID, based in the USA.
3. connect the new ID to Zune, say you are in the USA.
4. set up the phone, without windows live, but with another email adress
5. do the whole unlock-thingy including the registry change to HD7
6. Activate your phone with the new live ID and the old activation code.
Result: a fully functional WP7 phone.

That's the easy part. Now try to connect your non-US credit card with your account. You can't.
Or somebody found a solution to that?

If you have an European Credit card, create a UK-based live-ID instead of an US. The Credit Card should work, just make sure you use an existing address (they will never send mail, so just pick one).
Nice, but I already have US account. Changing it to UK seems to be impossible. Screw that multiple accounts. I dont wanna buy apps with dummy fake account since there is no way how to transfer these apps to my regular account (which I use for everything actually - mail, contacts, calendar) later.

Nope. It won't work unless the billing adress of your credit card is in the UK. But then again you would have a UK credit card
That's right. I've tried to register 3 different cards (2 VISAs and one MasterCard) and none of them is accepted not only in US, but also in UK. I even bought a VPN access to have an IP as coming from US, but no luck

Hard reset or only flash new/same wp7 rom?
By 'hard reset' is mean 'reflash the rom' right?

yes, you can do it on 2 ways,
1. go to settings -> about -> reset your phone
2. reflash the rom using MAGDLR etc.
both have the same effect.
Guys, if you know, if I delete my microsoft live account and then make the same one, with the same address (I am using a google account), will I have to ask for a new activation code from microsoft or can I use the one they sent me in the first place?
thank you
You try :
1. Install Registry editor
2. Modify any key :
- [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync\Partners\{B2830 118-7BC6-4A74-8C9A-3D8B9CEF88E0}]
"Email"=new your email([email protected] or [email protected])
"User"=new your email
- [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\IdentityCRL\Environment\Production]
"DefaultID"=new your email
3. Restart your phone.
4. access setting->email+accounts-> tap to new Windows Live ID -> tap to password -> typing newpassword -> Sign in.

From my experience, the activation code is tied to the device, not your Live ID. I have hard reset my HD2 multiple times and re-activated using the same code for three different Live IDs. I was using a US-based Live ID, then my son used my HD2 with his Live ID for a while, and now I have it back and am happlity using my Australian Live ID - all with the same activation code.

Some questions about WP7 on HD2 experience

Hi,
I want to get WP7 on my HD2. I'v read that there is no LIVE services unlesss you call MS to activate, which I understant not working very well these days...
What is missing with those live services?
If I don't have the marketplace, I understant that I can install XAPs via computer. Can I find any app as XAP? to what extent apps are eveilable as XAPs?
Thanks.
You can get every app out there, so Marketplace is not a must. If you live in an unsupported country that will be the only way to get paid apps anyway.
Hotmail can work without Live activation if you set it up manually. XBox Live is also not available although it's purpose is questionable
To put it short: WP7 is perfectly functioable without Live services. They are nice but not a must.
On another note: Try getting a key. Most ppl still get them easily.
It's true you don't need the activation services, but the operating system is much more fun and it backs your applications, calendar, emails etc.. up so you can easerly flash a new rom.
If you have a such easy possibility to get the key (you can either get it when you tell Microsoft that you have a HD2 but you have to catch a cool agent ) you should do it.
I have switched too and I am using it as OS now since a few months.
I don't want to live without my HD2/7.... ^^
Thanks guys!
Yes I live in an unsupported country (Israel), so it's comforting to hear that is not such a big deal (as I tought).
You said that LIVE is required for hotmail. I'm planning on setting the phone with both my work's Exchange, and Google Apps account, hopefully both with ActiveSync Push for Email\Contacts\Calendar, should I expect any problems with that?
I just tried setting up two exchange accounts (GMail and Hotmail) and they seem to be working alongside each other. Email, contacts and calendars sync.
Only tested for an hour or but so far so good.

[Q] How to transfers contacts and SMS' from WM6.5 to WP7?

OS making the move to WP7.
Whats the easiest way to transfer my contacts to WP7?

If it were me i would sync all my contacts in to outlook, setup a live or gmail account and import them all from outlook, either by using the outlook connector or by exporting them all to a CVS or something, live and gmail provide a way of importing these files , when you setup WP7 you just sync the live/gmail account and bobs your uncle
as for SMS, i think your out of luck im afraid, if you want to back them up and still have access to them i would suggest using Microsoft My Phone, that will allow you to transfer all your SMSs to an online backup utility, you can then just connect to it on your phone to look at them, but there is no way of transfering them to your phone....at the moment anyway
you'd think Ms would make it easy for users to upgrade from wm6.5 to 7!
thanks for the procedure i'll try that way.
i currently use Myphone, sux its not wp7 compatible

i cant find it now but on one of the many MS blogs out there i read that the My Phone team are making a new version with WP7 in mind, dont know if its true, and i cant find the link, i stumbled on it a while back by mistake, but anyhow, it stands to reason that they will have something like that at some point, perhaps they are waiting for Mango which already has several large changes over NoDo, who knows! just need to wait and see
yeah there were a few rumurs a while back
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13973440&postcount=6
but nothing recently. only things im missing is the call recording feature and MyPhone, but at the moment i'm having to get live without each.
I hope Mango has Myphone, it was one of the best services (if not THE best service) that MS had for WM.
