[Q] changing windows live ID - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello there, I'm new here so I hope this is the right section..
I edited my Windows live id log in, I mean I changed ID and password. So now my Windows phone can't log in and I can't either download apps. Is there a way, different from Hard reset, to chance main Windows live ID account? Maybe from MFG?

no live id its the only one you cant change. you must reset your phone to factory defaults
Sent from my WP7 Trophy

ain't there a way, even hidden?
is there the risk that I've lost all the apps and games I've bought? windows live "unique ID" is the same as before I changed windows live ID...

Hey mate, I have similar problem. See my thread here:
http://windowslivehelp.com/thread.a...37472c6d#6509abb7-bdc0-44f7-84f4-431937472c6d
I have other thread here:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...f-7f4fe7875e1d?page=1&tm=1308143475915#footer
I tried to circumvent he prob by trying to make a new windows live account using my previous windows live username login and link it, but the email that was associated with my first windows live id doesn't seem to have been recycled and still appears to be a "windows live id" despite the fact i can't access it, log in, reset password or anything...
this sucks big time!!

Well at least if Microsoft fix its ****ty windows live ID services, I could create another windows live ID using my old email address and link it with my current one, but NOOOOOOOOoooooooo, For some reason Windows Live Account hasn't recycled my old email address >_<

Treo 700W & BlackBerry Connect.

Is there anyway that I can get BlackBerry Connect to install on my 700W. My company is moving away from exchange, so i will lose my push email. I am in the USA and on verizon so the 750v is out of the question till cingular picks it up or the price for a export comes down.
Thanks - Lil0ne

Here are the install files for the treo 750v:

Also here is the link to the manual:
http://euro.palm.com/de/de/support/handbooks/Blackberryconnect_Handbook_en.pdf
Let me know how it works for you.
I have everything installed and I think its gonna work but I just need the Desktop software. I tried to download the one stright from BB but it looks like I need another one.
Its called:: BBC Desktop for Windows Mobile
and the file name is: BBCDesktopTreo750v.Exe
I hope someone can find it.

help with install
Can you take me thru the install? I downloaded the cab file, but do not know what to do next?
I am also on Verizon with a 700w. I had the BIS service when I changed to Treo.
So far this is what I know.
There are 2 things that you need.. the .cab file and the " BBC Desktop For windows mobile "
to install the cab file just copy it to your device / SD card and then " open " it with any file explorer, and it will install just like any other program.
ill update this when I get ahold of the desktop software.

I have setup the BB Connect on my Treo 750v (on Cingular) and everything seemed to install correctly. I was able to provision to my corp. BES and receive the IT Policies. However, I only get a partial icon on the Today screen. Rather then seeing 4 Blackberry icon thingys, I get 2. Which tells me I am not completely connected. I see that I have the service books installed (ALP & CMIME). The "Email Setup" button is disabled under the Utility tab. I have done all the obvious. Selected "Register Now", etc.
I also have the BB Connect plan on Cingular. I previously had a Blackberry Pearl and a Nokia E62 w/ BB Connect. Nothing changed on my account.
Any ideas?
right now im getting the " you account is not provised correctly " or something to that effect. I think its telling me somthing on the BES server is not setup correctly. If anyone has any experience with that please, tell me how to setup my account. I am a IT admin, but this is my 1st time dealing with BB stuff.
-- Sal
Looking at the BB Connect manual, the status icon I am getting is that it's in the process of connecting. I never get to the full BB Connect icon on my Today screen.

Are you able to connect to the BB Connect Desktop software and sync the calendar, etc.?-- Sal

I can. I have all the service books installed and the IT Policies downloaded to my device. I am able to see "Connection Available" within the BB Connect software on the Treo. I was able to provision my Treo to the BES and was able to sync using the handset syncing method in the BB Connect setup process.

Make sure you do not have any other Blackberry software installed (i.e. Blackberry Desktop Manager). I had an issue before with that.
I am getting the same provision error. I cannot connect to the BB desktop at all.

I think I know why I am not getting connected. When I spoke to the data support folks, they had me having the Nokia E62 w/ BB Connect on my account. There was no way for me to change the device using the Cingular BB portal. It did not recognize my device (probably because its Vodapone/unlocked). I wonder if they can override the PIN/IMEI number on there side.
How do you get the PIN #? I had one on my BB, but no longer have it.

The BB Connect Desktop software will provide one. If you connect the treo with the BB Connect desktop software, you will see the PIN.
I deleted the old desktop software, but still cannot get into the new wm desktop. I get the same provision error.

The account is not provisioned properly on the server. Please contact the system administrator.

If you have special chars in your facebook pw (e.g. '&'), trying to activate via the panel-button on the phone won't work. Try to change your current pw on facebook from a pc (use only ordinary letters and numbers, no more than 11 in total), then try access/open facebook with the phone. It worked for me, haveing the same problem
Edit: I had to change my pw on freewarepocketpc.net as well, avoiding using any special chars, to be able to log on to the app OpnMarket via the phone.
thank you

Yes, pw=password.
I've answered as if you have a problem setting the facebook switch to 'On' (settings-data services-social networks), i.e. getting the error message and not being able to log onto your facebook acct from the phone.
If you acually meant problems regarding the application 'Facebook panel', my answer can be disregarded. My Leo came with a facebook app (found in Start Menu). I did'nt have to install any such 'facebook panel' as you are refering to.
My ROM is 1.66.409.1 (76641) NOR and Manila 2.5.19211619.0.

Same here..
Can I just say that developer is responsible for the awful Windows Phone 7 version. They claim they're developing for Microsoft but I find it hard to believe when you see all the crap they put out.
Good luck with that.
I have the same problem... HTC Desire with Cyanogen Mod 7...
Have you any ideas to solve it?
could it be because msn is linked to fb contacts and the app is unable to fetch them?

What device are you using? Chevron is a tool to get your device developer unlocked. To use the tool you must first install the cert, like you already did. Neither the tool nor the cert have something to do with the marketplace. To be able to use the marketplace, you need a Windows Live ID.
i have a htc trophy, i can enter in the marketplace but i cannot download enything
, i am doing a restore now

But you set up your Windows Live account and entered the activation code that came with your device, right? Without that, you cannot use the marketplace.
ye the account is fine, but it s after i installed the certificate file, still not working after the restore
Is there maybe a problem with the marketplace just now? I've just tried to download a few different things and am getting message along the lines of "can't get this info right now, check back later"?
I've not installed anything or done anything out of the ordinary today on my phone?

MP usually has problems for me too on weekends..
To confirm, I'm having issues as well. I went so far as to factory reset my phone
I put a call into Microsoft/Zune Support. They're suppose to call me back in like 30 miutes
Been trying to update Cocktail Flow, but kept giving the same error over and over (since yesterday). Downloading new apps was fine... just updates.
Only now have I been able to update it... check it out guys.

Yeah...unfortunately, learned that the hard way. Now I can't get my phone back the way i want it until this issue is fixed.
**UPDATE**
Just for the heck of it, I created a new live id and was able to download apps. is there a way I can switch all my transactions from the live id that's not working to the live id that is working?
I don't know about that.. But I have switched from mobudget to my budget app.. And my trial expired last night .. Since than I have been trying to buy it but nothing ..

Is anyone else still having problems with the marketplace? I'm still getting the "can't get this information right now, check back in a little while" error when I try to download anything.
Edit : I also can't download any apps or music through Zune on my laptop so I'm guessing my windows live I.d. has developed some kind of problem in the last 24 hours. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

Everything is fine now for me.. microsoft updated mp with new apps and new featured apps and things like that.. maybe thats why their is a downtime on weekends..

I can install/buy apps now..
Patience people... same with updates and problems.
I would have f***** ** my phone a while ago I haven been patient with NoDo and forced it.

Zune says PC and Hotmail are different countries - cannot login

So please help:
I have Hotmail for 13 years.
Now Zune finally starts to support my country (Poland).
So when I want to login to Zune on my PC, Zune says country/region of my PC and Hotmail are not the same so I cannot be logged in.
Apparently 13 years ago Hotmail didn't even exist for Poland so I couldn't even locate my account for Poland.
So what can I do? I don't want to change my account of course and it is already attached to my phone. I can't login to Zune.
You can change country in Regional and country settings in Control Panel in Windows.

No no. I am not going to change my country/regional setting of my PC, why should I?! Idiotic.
I talk about changing Hotmail regional settings, it's logical and should be easier.
hmm i don't know if it's help but try here: https://account.live.com/EditProf.aspx
Unfortunately that link doesnt help. It says one thing there and one thing on the "Zune-side" of the account. When trying to add a CC to my Live-account it tells me that I live in the US (because when I first bought my hd7 i lived in the US), but now i I have moved back to Sweden. Result: I cannot use the Marketplace.
MS: When will you EVER learn...

Thanks but Zune still says the same thing!
So you say you CAN'T just easily change the country in your Hotmail in order to use Zune in your country?!
If this is true it means MS is really driven by idiots.

I don't get you.
My Windows is Polish, Hotmail set for Polish location.
So where is the problem?
This is madness. My live id is used as my developer id as a microsoft partner but I can't change the country back to the Netherlands.
Are they mad, mad mad , mad, yes..oh I know they want more live/zune users so now we all create a new one.....
Once you set the region in your live account (Zune, Hotmail, Xbox) you can't change it. I know it's absurd that you can't but that's how MS operates!!! they had the option of changing the country to newer xbox live enabled countries but that was very few (like South Africa).
I had set my country as UK for getting Xbox Live, and now i can't revert back to India. there have been numerous threads about this idiotic behaviour but no changes from MS yet.
Actually you can change the country on your Zune-account, BUT every app you have bought will have to be bought again and reinstalled as well. You will loose everything that has to do with Live/Zune/Marketplace on your phone according to the warning message I got when I checked it out.
