AA..contact a couple of devs..or contact zune support..if ur on Twitter, I have the zune support's handle.
Probably u can ask them...on the other hand,
Check for three things, Region of your computer (Control panel>Region and language). It should be United States.
Region of your Zune account (its the same as your Live account). Again, it should be United States.
Region of your Mobile phone. (US again.)
Match all three, go to Marketplace. And then try to do things mentioned in the earlier thread.
Lemme know if it works.
P.S: Im from India, Bombay. Plan to buy either HTC HD7 or HTC Mozart soon...

Lol looks like you have Czech device or what.
First glimpse of Czech translation for upcoming Mango?
I noticed a few days ago the same thing on my C900 running 7392... Just thought it was a glich...
It doesn't affect purchasing apps.
I've checked a few minutes ago and now it has returned "normal": LG Apps store
that's odd!!!!!
Maybe czech users will have their own transaltion soon!!!
Perhaps it is because of the early beta. Glad everything is back to normal

7712 and Rogers Focus, evidence of music on Canadian Marketplace?

Earlier today I updated my Rogers Focus to Mango Beta 7712 through Zune 4.8. Now I am noticing the Music + Video hub is pulling and displaying artist pictures while I am viewing an album list. It doesn't seem to be pulling pictures for any other views or for the lockscreen option, and only about half the artists seem to have images. Also, there are no bio's or anything else, but artist pictures are definitely being pulled over WiFi.
Neither 7004, 7008, Nodo or Mango B2 did this, and as far as I know the only way to get these images before was to have an American Windows Live ID and phone region set to United aStates have a Canadian Windows Live ID and my device region is set to Canada. Is anyone else experiencing this? Could this be evidence progress is being made towards music for the Canadian amarietplace?

I'm using a carrier unlocked HD7 on Mobilicity in Toronto. Never had any problems whatsoever. Even pre-NoDo. Only issue that still exist is that the GPS is always off a couple blocks.
Even have the region set to Canada, and it's all good.
Thanks for the reply. I wonder what's changed for me?
Since its a false alarm, any mods who happen to read this, please delete the thread.

Nice! Just got the HTC Arrive!

So I got it and I'm very happy with it. What are the first things I should do?
Sent from my T7575 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
When you've setup all your accounts?
First thing to do would be to get it syncing with Zune on the PC, that'll also pull down any updates that are outstanding.
Then I went ahead and started installing all the apps that I'd researched prior to buying - ones I use daily are:
BBC News Mobile
Weather4Me
Amazon Kindle
Turn-by-Turn Navigation
Night Stand Clock Lite
HTC Youtube (is WAY better than the standard app)
To be honest, Windows Phone requires so little by way of setting up that you can probably safely start playing around with the settings, setting up live tiles/bookmarks in the browser, and generally making it your own!
I was pretty much done setting mine up within 2 hours...
For the YouTube app I'd look at either SuperTube or LazyWorm's YT app. Both have their merits. LazyWorm's seems to have the faster interface, but SuperTube has downloading of videos for offline playback.
Can't say I've tried anything beyong HTC's YouTube app, it works perfectly well and as a bonus even has a resume function so you can start where you left off..
One thing I did forget to say: Don't forget to setup security! A SIM PIN and device lock code are always recommended, and also, check out http://windowsphone.live.com where you can track, lock, and ring your phone if it gets lost or stolen.
The Arrive is CDMA, there is no sum.

Err? I presume you mean SIM, in which case I wouldn't know, but I'd assume there would be some alternative security measure.
It's generally good advice for the significantly larger number of GSM phones though. The Arrive is also not the only version of the 7 Pro

Reading through all the links you posted, none of this will help unlock a HTC Arrive since there is no Pre NoDo rom for the Arrive. Unless I am missing something. :/
The best thing aside from unlocking for now (which will be coming post nodo for what $19?) is to upgrade to the Mango Beta.
Hmm, but what is this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1142120 ? This is NoDo for Arrive or not ?
BTW install HSPL: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16189671#post16189671 and install customROM 7713: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1205111

You need a pre NoDo rom for the Chevron unlock you posted. There are none for the Arrive since it was released with NoDo installed.
The HSPL link specifically states that it does not support the HTC Arrive. Do not try it on an HTC Arrive or you could mess it up:
This release does NOT support these WP7F devices:
*GoldC (Arrive)
*SparkW (Trophy Verizon)
These devices are not supported because they are missing at the current moment in DFT team. Please don’t even try to use this release with them – it may brick your phone or make it unusable.

Yes, you right. I forgot about DFT not support Arrive.
What is wrong with the people on here? You don't NEED to jailbrake the thing, and if you do what the hell did you buy it for!?

In what part of the world/region did you buy your phone from? What software/firmware version you have? Also is the CPU S3 or S4?

I bought the phone from Saudi Arabia. I have the S3 version.
I am not 100% sure about this, but if I recall correctly it used to write from left to right when i bought it. <-- Not too sure about this.
Android 4.0.3
So i took a screenshot
the justification does not solve the problem still
any clues?
the title is fine, it writes from left to right

I downloaded a program called morelocale2 and it allowed me to change my country to stuff outside the preinstalled countries so I set it to Canada since that's where I live but it is still the same
I have the exact same problem with my htc sensation (bought in Lebanon), when I updated to ice cream sandwich and got the note app.
I contacted htc support and I received this reply: "Kindly note that this issue has been escalated for a higher level for investigation and we would contact you the moment we receive an update."
I hope that someone knows how to fix it and thanks for the help.
"I can see how the text starting on the other side of the screen would be quite the problem. I would be glad to address this with you. In regards to this, many settings of the phone are set to what region they were manufactured for. I took one of our test One S phones and there isn't a setting in the app to change the text orientation. As a workaround for this, I'd suggest trying a third party app from Google Play store. I'd like for you to give this a shot, and if you have any further problems then let me know. In the meanwhile, I hope you have a great day!"
This is the answer I got from HTC when I told them about the problem, does any one know such app?

I know you are not rooted
If it is only the notes app can you somehow uninstall/delete it and re install it or another note app from market
I rooted my phone same day I bought it, so am not familiar on how to do that stuff on non-rooted phones
There is no way to uninstall it using the normal uninstallation methods and I have not found a way to download it again. I would gladly download a diff notes app however I cannot find a semidecent one that I like

Evernote.

Agreed Evermore is great. Perfect sync from pc to phone.
Hahaha! Sorry, but that's got to be so annoying it's hilarious.
Try Evernote. HTC Notes actually syncs with Evernote anyways, which is why it asks for you to login when you turn it on for the first time. Great app, has all the features of stock Notes + a lot more.
Here's the market link...

Hi all, this is my first post in here so plz bear with me if i sound like such a newb.. so i got my HTC one S last week, after being totally bored with 4yrs of iOS.. i gotta say everythin is great.. except for the crappy Calendar, no iOS-style shake to Undo, and this little issue with Notes: it also insists on typing English characters from right to Left! Needless to say this is frustrating for sum1 who uses Notes multiple times a day.. and such a disappointment for an -almost- flawless device & OS.. No i do not think downloading a third-party application, or rooting the device is worth the hassle because i am not trying to locate a star in space, i just wanna type sum text for god's sake! come on there has to be a solution to this.. Furthermore, the iPhone 5 is coming out soon.. just sayin.. FYI i also got my device from Saudi, running ICS 4.0.3 + HTC Sense 4.0.. Cheers

Run a WWE RUU. Why did you talk about the iPhone 5? It has no relevance. The problem is where you bought the device from, which is Saudi Arabia. Arabic writes from right to left, which is why you should buy it from another country if you're from a different country.

To tell the truth, i didn't face this problem on my EVO 3D before. . . But it started when I installed the stock rom made for middle East and updated to ICS. . . I don't know but I believe if you flashed a none Middle East rom you'll get it fixed. . .

I hear they took it out on pretty well every model.
TBH, microsofts update model sucks. It still goes through the carriers and some models will never receive updates (or never receive them until months after other models/carriers... Like Portico for Bell, getting it months after rogers.)
Guys, Data Sense is part of GDR2 but it depends on your carrier if you see it on your phone. Thats been said about 100k times. Thats what Microsift wrote in the update description.
AFAIK most european carriers dont suppprt it. =P

Or US model, or Canadian model...
So which mythical models support it?
Who is talking about 'models'? Its not about phone models.
It's about your carrier. If your carrier supports it you will see it on your phone with GDR2. If your carrier doesnt you dont see it.
If in doubt ask your carrier.

But can we plz stay on topic? Its about the latest update which came out yesterday. Can somebody plz check the numbers i posted?

Regardless, not one carrier (carrier's "model" i.e. - different carriers versions may have different capabilities) I have heard of included it yet (I think people on wpcentral with unbranded "models" didn't even get it.)
I was under the impression that Microsoft were not going to get strong-armed by carriers, like Bell getting portico months after rogers.
Also, talking about a feature being left out IS talking about the update.
This is about the update AFTER GDR2. I had it for weeks. Still there was another update today. HTC 8Xs had some troubles and this 'after GDR2 update' seems to fix the issues (like the overheating of the sound chip).
Please fin youself a thread about GDR2 not one for updayes to it. And for your information. This is not about 'bullying' - Data Sense like Visual Voice Mail depends on technology employed by the carrier. It is part of the update. And yes i do t know any carrier who uses it. But if you are from Europe i can by now confirm you wont see it. Please ask your carrier about when or if they will deploy Data Sense.
Cheers
