Yup, hard reset. You will lose all your settings if you don't back them up but it won't hurt anything.

..i tried the hard reset method..but..the tab still didn't appear..sighz..

Asian version don't have googlemap hence the location button is missing afaik.

Yes it says on the website that Asian version won't have this tab,but is there a way to manually install it? I'm planning to buy mine here in Taiwan but i'm still searching how to flash it from chinese OS to english OS. I'm really new to this stuff,

Hi BH
You should be able to find some sellers that will convert it to English for you.
If you are in/near to Taipei, check "Nova" (Near Taipei Main Station) down on the lowest floor, there is an official HTC shop and in front of them is a non-official one...while the official one told me it was impossible to get an English version here, the store in front of it said...yeah fine, for a small extra charge they could do all that for me I can't remember how much the charge was, but pretty sure it was about 1000 NT or less. I didn't buy one but if I do, I will probably go back to them to get it.

Oh Thanks for the quick reply.Maybe I'll check that.

No need for that.
Get a registry editor, go to HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila2D\ and change the LocationWidget value from "0" to "1". Soft reset and you should see the location widget.
Additionally I had to install the google maps software, because it was not present on my device and the location widget didn't actually do anything, so you might need to do that too.

I have the latest rom version, purchased from PCCW in Hong Kong for HK$3100. It has the Map Search tab in Touchflo.

in HK.

Works fine to add the tab
To install the Google Maps Software :
Go to http://m.google.com on your pda (by using IE)
Go to Map and download the software
EDIT : Install it to the MAIN Memory !

I don't have locationwidget in my register!
I have the UK version...
Anyone a idea?

Have you tried creating it manually?

Its works!
But....when I click on the tab nothing happends
Can someone make it works?

As I said, you need to install the Google Maps application.
Go to http://m.google.com/maps and download it from there
EDIT: I forgot to mention that you have to install it to the main memory, not the storage card (we've been discussing that in another thread)

It works great!
I install it on de SD card en now on my device, that was the solution.
Thanks!

Windows Live Messenger Version 11 [REQ CAB]

hello everyone,
i've see a Version 11 of the Windows LIVE programm at my marketplace, but if i install it only version 10.7 will be installed.
On Microsofts Page i can only download version 10.7.
Has somebody a version higher than 10.7 on his device?

Seeing the same thing with facebook.
Which forgot to change the version number in the actual app (though it looks no different).
BHut I installed 11 windows live, and it still says 10.7, but it is 11, because it looks completely different.

before they "released" the 11 version a version named 10,9 was at the marketplace
i don't understand microsofts logic

Be careful installing 'latest versions' thinking they are better. The latest desktop version of MSN is *horrid*.

You mean version 2009?
Whats "horrid" about it? The layout, the backgrounds, the ability to actually change more of it without plugins like messengerplus?

The 10.7 version has annoying bug. If I disconnected from my network without signing out, it impossible to sign in again. I got a message that i'm already signed in... Does any one know how to fix this ?

It's on the marketplace. Just do a search on the word live.

I wish that I could solve it with SR, but I think that the server still see me as connected and there is nothing I can do from the PDA.

Not all users see the same content on the marketplace, it depends on your region.

Yep, and I don't know who's region it's on, so I'd suggest someone searches

Managed to get a copy of the 10.7.0600 WM Live
Hehe, managed to extract the latest Windows Live client 10.7.0600 (dated 30/12/09, NOT for smartphones) off Marketplace.
Enjoy

It's not actually the same version as the one on the device. It appears to be another faux-pas on the part of Microsoft (they recently updated the facebook app, but not the version number!)
I installed it earlier and it's a much nicer version. Just hope I don't come across the bugs mentioned earlier!

i have reinstalled it, on the german hd2 it is the the same version... (got the x1, too, und there it was update... the fonts are now bigger an so on...

Hunting Game, can anyone buy it?

Hi, can anyone purchase a Hunting game by BungBungame?
http://marketplace.windowsphone.com...38844f0e&retURL=/search.aspx?keywords=hunting
I can't buy it, as my country is not listed, can pay you 2.5 USD via PayPal.

Apps bought on the marketplace are non-transferable. You don't (officially) get the cab file. There is an app that allows you to change your region for the marketplace. Have a look in one of the non phone-specific forums (windows games & apps, for example).

Probably not, in that case.
Have you tried googling for an alternative source for the game? I'd forget about MarketPlace if I were you.

this is completely different type of game..
games of the same type, and wich works on hd2 are:
towerstrap, and resco defender (this one is low res, but works fine)
i found them on wa**z site, since i too cannot buy anything from marketplace

Does anyone knows where I could download the Lite version on the web? I can't find it on marketplace on my country (The Netherlands) neither when I set my country settings to US.
Thanx.

Marketplace is really weird - it's like they pretend they want to sell me stuff, but they don't really:
On my phone, I, too, couldn't find the Hunting game - I've tried the Norwegian, UK and US "world views". In the US view, the Games category contained 99 titles.
Next, on the web before I logged in, the Games category shows over 300 titles. I also searched for "Hunting", and found it (!). I logged in, then Hunting disappeared, and the number of games was back down to 99. I tried logging out, but the count strangely stayed at 99. Hunting was nowhere to be found.
Can anyone explain this?

Tower Defence from colour stone for PPC is pretty good, I got the hunting light version, the one your talking about and I think its not as good as "tower defence" you can buy it from here

tower defense
Hunting: 1$
tower defense: 15$ be serious,
i have the same problem, cannot modify country on my account on marketplace. this is another big shhh from microsoft, i swear i will never buy another windows phone again, once in my life i want to buy something for it and i cannot because of the lack of inteligence from microsoft...

WP7 Marketplace active in the Netherlands

Hello everyone,
I searched the evening on XDA forum trying to find out what's the problem.
I activated WP7 on my HD2, I also got the key from Microsoft.
I read chevron etc. But still Marketplace says not yet available in your country/region.
Is here a solution for already?
Regards Martijn

you should search the forum.
anyways, set all language options to English US, reboot, then access marketplace again. Thats the only way.

Well, that doesn't work neither.
Can it be that when I run ChevronWP7.exe it immediately said relock instead of unlock?
Thanks anyway!

Nope, chevron should not have any effect on marketpace...
Did you get the correct code from microsoft? are you able to access live services?

eh, yes. Hotmail (email/calender/contacts) are syncing perfectly. Facebook connector is also working. Zune is working.
Btw I installed this rom:
[12.03.2011][ROM] HD2 WP7 Build 7.7008.0 frantic V 1.2

Getting the marketplace to work in a yet-to-be-launched country is tricky. However, the solution is threefold:
1. On http://account.live.com : Make sure the location of your Live ID is set to USA/UK/France/Whatever (you might need to create a new ID for this - I had too);
2. On your device: Set the device locale to match the one of your Live ID via settings -> Region & Language (the region format option can be set to Dutch; browser & search language are useless when set to Dutch (Bing doesn't support us yet), so set it to match your Live ID);
3. Optional on your computer: Change the system locale of your Computer OS (Windows / Mac) to match your Live ID. This is not necessary, but allows you to use the Marketplace in the Zune software.
Hope this helps. If not, do not hesitate to use the search function and then post a topic
Chs
__edit__
For clarification:
Chevron should not interfere with the marketplace.
Activating your WP7 device only enables the Marketplace, xBox Live, and Find my Phone (and also phone update, but that doesn't work for the HD2)

Thanks for your explanation.
I'll give it a try tonight and let you know.
Regards

1 Doesn't work
2 Doesn't work
3 didn't check
What works is 1 ONLY when you create a new account with location in US/uk/etc.
I hope other XDA users have read this as well and do their [email protected]

@chevron hack
have you synced your phone with zune?
is your screen unlocked (phone) during you want to chevron it?
@no internet problem
Internet -> you have to type in the "apn settings" you find it under settings -> provider or anything like this, sorry have a german one
to know what you have to input, google for "apn settings <provider>"
Alternative way with the samsung tool (network profile) if it is in your rom.

@chevron hack
all done like in the tut, the screen blank on the main menu
@no internet problem
i´ll check it out know for the apn settings, found them before but got to the provider and he said that it is locked and i have to check out for unlocking or updating (something like this)
if you´re german, it´s fine for me to write in german ^^

how annoying sh**
got the internet problem, thanks 0711
just needed to add this 10 letters word in the settings

No. Without Chveron, your only way of getting apps is through the MS marketplace.

so, what could be the problem that chevron can´t see my phone?
got the hole pogramm pack installed, registry key, the protocol installed but it won´t work

So, now i have some strange problems with the mobilenet. I have allways the icon of the connection, but the explorer, market ect. Cant get the connection. Now i am in school writting this in my phone, but i cant use the market. Some ideas to fix?
