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.

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!
is that possible on the hd? after a thorough search over the internet i found an application called gpsproga that claims to allow you to save google maps on the storage card but to my luck it is in some weird ass looking language i think russian so i am back to square one :S.. the maps i need are for the middle east hence tomtom or other similar applications won't help me.

It is available for (jailbreaked, as no official Apple app) iPhones ... but someone might contact the author and see whether it is possible to port it to WM 6.1.

Hi, can anyone purchase a Hunting game by BungBungame?

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...
While reading all the great threads about WP7 I found that there are quite a lot of people that are not able to get in touch with MS, and they keep on spaming, trying to find one. So here's my idea: do not do this. Just ask here and if there is someone who can help, he could PM you.
So I'll be the first one. Anybody could help me?

Just phone them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't! It would cost me more than my monthly payment, and the skype connection so f***** up!
Jesus. You DON'T need to call MS in the USA. Call your local MS support (should work in all countries where WP7 is officially launched by the local mobile operators!) and they will give you the code. I'm from Bulgaria and to my extreme surprise I got the code within 5 min from a very friendly customer support agent on Microsoft's toll free 0800 number. The agent didn't ask for anything more than my name and mail adress. He even mailed me the code afterwords for future reference
UK ms are giving them out first time. give them a call through skype.
0844 800 2400 choose option 2 and then option 7
Does anybody know how many times we can use this code to re-activate our phone?
Just asking as I like testing this but I want to go back to android soon but just worried about re-activation issues etc.
^ Till now I've used same code to Activate 4 different Live Accounts! So my guess is its Device dependant. You can activate it any no of times as far as its the same device. Thats my guess!
Tou can activate 3 different live accounts with 1 code AFAIK. So you shouldn't be having any troubles with switching forth and back between Android and WP7
A notice to bulgarian users. For Bulgaria the MS number is 08001555 (free from all networks!). Choose option 1 from the voice menu and then tell the operator that you need a WP7 code.

Well I was referring to the same live acount but I guess that sort of answers my question anyway. thnx.
Can I ask though why you used 4 different accounts?
Well first when I activated using my Live account, Marketplace didn't work since that Account was created using India as locale.
2nd time I activated with a different ID, but that too turned out to be from India as initial Locale.
3rd time I created a totally new Live ID and this time everything worked perfectly. Marketplace and XBL worked just fine.
But then I thought of migrating my X360 XBL to this new ID and as soon as I did that, the Marketplace not available for your region error came up.
Finally created another account, activated it again and using it!
Ok I called customer service and they needed my name etc, but then IMEI wtf!!!!!
Can anybody please pm me an activation code????
Thanks

Actually I asked the Agent "If I hard-reset my HD7 p) can I reuse this code ?" And He said "Yes, whenever you format your phone and an error came up you can use this code again just don't give it to any other person" so i assume that the code is valid for My phone (or ID ?) to be used very multiple times but I'm not sure since he didn't mean it directly

BUMP: Microsoft again has changed the policies! Chat seems to be working again!
Thanks to members for the tip. I had a little talk with one of the fellow MS employes and he said, actual WP7 customers were suffering due to the policy change. People were finding it frustrating to have to send scanned copies. So, they made it easier.Enjoy!
BUMP: Microsoft has changed the policies! Now they need scanned copy of IMEI number and product purchase proof! If anybody is able to get key by any other method, do post in this thread!
Hello, people!
I see lots of people asking for unlock keys for there HD2-7, just because their country doesn't seem to have the call center. However, I have found that, Microsoft is supporting all the big countries!
If you find this guide helpful, don't forget to hit the 'Thanks' button.
Here is the guide.
1. First of all, you need the contact number of Microsoft call center in your country.
Go here and grab it. http://www.microsoft.com/worldwide/
I have found it working for India!
2. Now, I think calls in most of the countries will be answered by the IVRS (Interactive Voice Response System). Most probably, you will get lost in choosing menu options.
3. Simply wait for the last option where the system says that press __ to talk to our technical support person. (In India, you have to type 06)
4. Now, the person will receive you. Tell him your Windows Live Id and all other things. (you need not fake!) And tell them your issue. He may say that you are in wrong section! Ask him to transfer his call to product activation section for WP7. (All this is to avoid getting lost in IVRS menu!)
5. Now, your call will be transfered. Tell the person that you want to activate your HTC HD7! (Make sure, its launched in your country.)
6. That's it! The person confirms your Live ID and gives you the key. (Its kinda difficult though to get 25 characters correctly through phone. Make sure you take down everything correctly!)
7. If step 3 onwards doesn't work (like technical support person doesn't know what you're talking about) tell them the link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2431699 and tell him that this is I want.
8. Alternatively, you can navigate to Xbox live support and ask them for key. (You have to tell them that you were asked for the key when you tried to access the Xbox live from your HD7)
9. Method of Skype is good but won't work on poor connections. (and most of the connections fall in this category, as far as developing countries are concerned!)
Again, I need your feedback. Comments are most welcome (and so are thanks!) Please, buy me a cup of milk, if you wish! (I don't like beer! )People in India can use SBI net banking. (PM me for account number!)
Hope you enjoy it.
hey akshay! Thanks for the detailed description. BTW i had no issue with activation key as that was butter smooth to get from MS India. As the HD2 now activated, how do you install apps from Marketplace as for me it doesnt download any apps from marketplace.
I tried these methods already
1. Clean install of WP7, activation of Live services by activation key and then logging in to marketplace via both region being India as well as US. It would show message something like "Can't get info right now, try later"
2. I also tried registry editing to as in here. Then tried connecting to marketplace. Error pop up as Marketplace not available in your location.
3. I did regedit on my Windows 7 to access marketplace using Zune desktop, which is a success, it opens and registers my choices, also show that your app will be installed soon, but no app is installed.
4. Finally i downloaded WP7 Desktop Marketplace, i works fine, downloads, as well as deploys apps to my phone but show error in a few app deployment. As of now this is the only work around for me with a few limitations.
If you able to access marketplace and download apps directly to your mobile or by any other better way, please guide me.

Why so difficult?
Please go to here: http://support.microsoft.com/contactus/cu_sc_selector_chat?ws=support#
Choose the top chat. Wait a minute. Tell them you need a activation code for your WP7 phone. They ask name and phone number. After waiting another minute they give it to you.
Last question they have: Did it work? You say YES!

I think, you should not do these things alternatively. You better perform everything stepwise according to the guide posted in HD2 WP7 section. It should work.

I did all as mentioned but as WP7 not officially launched by MS in India, no marketplace availability. Also Zune Marketplace app download issue is resolved, just a few more tweaks required and done. Now I am comfortably installing free apps from Marketplace using Zune. Also have a lot many Xbox Live games but wont post any links here as it would be piracy...no piracy on XDA.

Your problem is clearly related to your Live ID belonging to an unsupported Country.
Create a new Live ID with Region set to US and you should be fine.

Well Saurabh, you really don't need to Skype at all. I know how frustrating it is! As I've clearly mentioned, you can straightway call them and get the key. Also, some users have confirmed to get it via chat support. Please, ignore Skype thing. Its not really for slow connections. Use chat support or straightway fire a call. Looks like you'll have to wait two days as its already Friday and call centers will be open on Monday.
Reply with progress!
EDIT: By the way, call center contact details for India are:
Phone: 1800 102 1100 (Toll free number accessible from Airtel land line and mobile phones
Phone: 1800 111 100 (Toll free number accessible from MTNL/BSNL land line)
