[Q] Using marketplace in emulator / downloading XAPs? - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I got a Windows Phone. I had doubts, I swapped it for an Android. Now I think I might have made the wrong choice! But I don't want to do yet another return without confirming some stuff to myself. My big problem for WP7 was that the maps and Google Chat integration weren't very good. I've downloaded the XAP for Nokia Maps and loaded it into the emulator- it solves most of the complaints I have, so all I have left is GChat.
There's an app called OctroTalk that is apparently way better than IM+- it's free in the marketplace, and I want to try this out in the emulator too. I got Marketplace access by following these instructions:
(removed link because I'm not allowed to post them)
but I can't actually sign in with my Live account. Any ideas why? Or, is there any way to get XAP files from the Marketplace to manually sideload myself?

Found an answer online! Can't post the link, but you can Google for it.
Unfortunately, OctroTalk doesn't seem much better than IM+. Shame.

WLM connection problem
I also tested this WLM version.
Seems to be working good, login is quick, merging of WLM and Outlook-contacts is a good thing.
My problem: After some hours running, it seems to lose connection with GPRS.
I have to soft-reset my wizard to get a connection to WLM
After the reset i can connect / sync again with WLM..
So far no luck. Running Faria's WM6 and it installed okay (though very slow) and rebooted. After that I run it and it only says Sign in to Windows Live. I click it but it never connects. I've tried it through both wifi and edge. Gonna reboot my phone and see if that helps, otherwise I'm going to hope the server is down or something. Although, come to think of it, I had similar problems with previous versions too. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, who knows. I really hope I can get this working. The inability to merge WLM and Outlook contact lists is what has kept me from using it so far. If this has that fixed and I can get it to work consistently, I'm in happyville.
Edit: Rebooting fixed the connection issue. Still doesn't do what I want though. It won't take my outlook contacts and add them to Live Messenger, for instance. You would think it wouldn't be that hard to have it read the IM field in the contacts to do so. Also while it did successfully merge one of my contacts, others had duplicates. For instance, my wife has her name entered one way in WLM and I had it another. It created a duplicate for her. Both had the IM address listed as ****@hotmail.com. So, it is a slight improvement, but not there yet. I want full synchronization between Outlook and WLM. I also want to be able to add a Windows Live mail acct to my existing passport but I'm not holding my breath for that one.
Worked perfectly for me, except the fact I dont like having all my MSN contacts in my phonebook forced upon me.
is it possible to install this version on top of the WLM that already existed on cooked rom? (xplore 1.1) Or is there any way to uninstall previous version?
thanks!
WLM - how do I get rid of it?
I made the mistake of installing (ahem, "running" the thing from the Programs folder) WLM (from the RUU_mUn_aRTM_10_2_0_8_WWE-Fixed.exe ROM), and it has seriously messed up a previously good setup...
1) I can't uninstall it - this is a _bug_! It seems to insinuate itself through Windows and I can't make it stop connecting my EDGE connection..
2) Because it seems to do something to connect the EDGE connection, it also seems to prevent me from receiving incoming calls.
3) It seriously slows down my 8125.
This is not specific to this beta version but i get the defbrowser errors when trying to open links from emails also pushmail does not work reliably it often says sign in failed / sync failed. The only way to get it & messenger working again is to clear the password in account options any ideas how to fix this?
WIll not install
Guys can you help me install this please?
Whenever i run the installer on my XP SP1 machine, it does not detect that i am connected to Activesync. I am however, connected to it via USB. The installer just keeps giving the message "Connection error. Make sure ActiveSync is running"
I have tried it on 2 machines now and both have the same result.

Anyway of getting a CAB of this?

The exe above has the cab in it. Just start the install from your PC, but when it comes up on your phone, don't click on anything. Now with your PC (or with TotalCommander) do a search for *.cab and you'll find the cab. Make a copy of it, and you have your cab file that you can put on your storage card or where ever.
Tks for the info mfrazzz! Always learning
I tried getting the cab, but it didnt work. It installed right away without asking any confirmation.
Can anyone post the cab file?
Thanks
... Never mind.. I found it on my PC.
Thanks alot.

You must not be running a custom rom then, as most all of them stop to ask you where to install the cab, and don't delete the cabs after install.
thanks, works ok for me. glad the contacts issue has been sorted, its much nicer than Pocket MSN. i couldnt find the .cab but the .exe installed fine via my pc.
is this a beta? the install said it was a beta.

[Q]CitiMobile Java App

I used to use the citibank mobile java app on my AT&T HTC Fuze WinMo phone. I would tell citibank I had a Samsung A727, and it would allow me to download the Java app, which worked fine on windows mobile. I believe Citi have upgraded there site recently, and I have also upgraded my Rom.
I now use RRE's WM 6.5 v8.1 Rom, and now when I go to download the Citibank Java App from the link they text me, it tells me I have an unauthorized phone. I figure I can trick it into to downloading by adjusting the User Agent in the registry, but I am not sure what to adjust it to.
Is anyone else using this application, and if so, how did you get it to download.
I hope this is in the right place, and I searched for an answer but found nothing. This is also my fisrt post, after lurking for a long time.
I had this same exact problem. I upgraded to Da-G's 6.5 rom and I couldn't use the Citimobile app. I don't know if it's a 6.5 compatibility issue or a java compatibility issue. You can try downloading another java client to install the app and see if it works. If it doesn't the it's probably not compatible with WM6.5. Either way, you don't have to use that java app anymore... just use PIE and go to www.citi.com and it will take you to the Citibank wap page.

HTC Sense Stock app/widget?

Hi all,
When I was using Android 1.5, I used to use the HTC Stock app and widget a lot. But since moving to 2.1 a week ago, I have not yet been able to find a replacement I tried few apps from the market but nothing feels quite right. Why isn't the HTC Stock app in the 2.1 Sense roms anyway?
So does anyone know whether I can get the HTC Stock app and widget back? Perhaps from an APK.
Alternatively, can anyone recommend a widget from the Market (free or paid) that I can have lots of shares displayed at once?
Thanks.
The stock app is included in 2.1 as long as you're running a Sense rom. If it's not there the developer probably just removed it from the rom to save space. I can't help you out with the APK but it shouldn't be too hard to find on here.
Ah I see! I'll ask the developers. Thanks.
So, have you found it? I'd like to try it too, if you have.
Unfortunately not!
I've been googling up and down and searching on here, Modaco, Vaillain, etc, but still haven't found it.
A bit off topic of the original post...but the thread title works and I didn't think a whole new thread was necessary.
So here's my question;
Is anyone else experiencing problems with the HTC Sense Stocks application in that the 1M, 3M, 6M, 1Y, and 2Y graphs are not showing the correct data. Only the 1D and 5D charts work.
I'm not sure at what point this problem occurred...cause I know it use to work. Just curious whether it was something I did to my device (flashing a custom ROM), or whether others are seeing the same problem...in which case this would suggest there is something wrong with the servers from which the application downloads the charts from.
Yes, I'm seeing the same problem. I haven't done anything to my phone yet, so I doubt it's a problem with the phone...
If you tell me where the app is ill gladly upload it

Hi,
a few weeks ago, i changed from WinMo to Android. Now I am a proud owner of a galaxy...
Unfortunatly, the galaxy comes without sense. So I am missing the Stocks widget, too. The good thing on that app is that it uses yahoo! finance as data source. Yahoo! finance offers more markets than Google Finance does. Yahoo Finance has an app for Android. But if I am looking for it in the market, it's not available. But it's available on appbrain...
Here is the link: http://www.appbrain.com/app/yahoo-finance/com.yahoo.mobile.client.android.finance
And this is the link for Yahoo! Finance for Android: http://mobile.yahoo.com/finance/android
I would be glad, if someone get's this to work and could upload the *.apk

P.S.
Excuse my poor English
I also could not find Yahoo Finance in the market.
I managed to install Yahoo Fianance from the following link:
http://www.getjar.com/mobile/36281/yahoo!-finance-for-htc-hero/
However, when I opened the app, it just open up the browser linking to mobile yahoo finance site.
Not too sure how to get it working properly as an app.
hi.
get "market enabler", fake a provider in the u.s. and you'll find yahoo finance in the market.
as an alternative i can recommend "stock watcher". has a great ui and offers some widgets.
have fun!

free navitation?

Hi, i started posting this in another forum here on xda but i guess it will be better to post it here.
I am looking for a free gps-system to my HCT HD2, and by free i also mean offline!!
If anybody knows a way to reset the trial on CoPilot that would be fine too, but i'm not going to do a hard reset...
I have looked in the post with all the apps for HD2 under GPS but i cant find a free navigation system. I have tried the NavyComputer and i love the way it works, but theres no GPS inbuild (unless you record a road and then play it).
Thx Qwak

i know i might just should buy one but i know that if i buy the copilot v8, in a month there will be a CoPilot v9, so im really just looking for some freeware...
I know that i can keep saying that there will come something new out all the time and therefore i should not buy anything but i just dont need a GPS that much.. its most for fun...
Use google because there's too many apps to post. Some work in the way that you download the maps off google maps and it uses it's program to navigate through them. Just search and you'll find it. Only thing is, you get what you pay for. Some work great in some areas, but others report problems in others.
well..
I did a google search before posting but it came up with alot of programs that used the 3g-network to get the positions witch is not free, nor very precise!! Neigher of the programs had a navigations-system inbuild so it was just to see where you were and maybe record a road...
I was just hoping that someone had tried a good one and would share that with us...
Or mayeb if someone had a list of available gps-programs so i could test them myself...
Thx Qwak
such I already mentioned before, thair are two difrent gps cistems thay who worked on a stand alone based, I will mean thay have there maps on your sd and don't beet a 3g connection thay works
ore the sistems like Google maps, it is free but it needs 3g and I don't see it like a gps but more like a plan who says where you are.
by the way I don't know about withc software application you was talking about but with my full lecence I have access on evry update fore a year! and if I will next yer also have the new updates it caust me only 35$!? so I don't think a really software is so expensive!
certainly not if you can bay you a htc hd2, bay a gps license will also work!?
and if you are looking fore cracks; you lost your time here! the ruels are clear here.
Don't use google maps, use Bing maps since it has actual navigation.
I prefer it over google maps, for now.
Bing is great. you can find it in Marketplace.
thx
Thx for the bing app, its surely better than googlemaps, although its on english... anybody knows if theres a danish pack for it?
I incidently re-newed my Copilot Live 8 trial by simply removing the licp8.dat file from the windows folder! Good luck!
I have OnStar and compared it to Bing. Bing seems (MHO) a lot better than OnStar.
1. Cost is free with Bing compare to OnStar $ per year.
2. Can set up route prior to getting into car.
3. If I deviate from route, Bing immediately does a re-route without asking.
4. Bing notifies you of turns 1/2 mile, 1,000 Feet.
5. When you are close to destination, Bing tells you whether it is on the Right or Left side of road.
Again, just my opinion, any comments?
Cheers
Hi, I just wanted to say Thank you to Megarock. Removing the icp8.dat file gave me another 15 day trial to play with. Brill
omg, IT WORKS
Thanx soo much Megarock, now i have free copilot forever!!
Though, you have to set it up again every time, but i found a way around that:
1. Delete the licp8.dat form the windows folder.
2. Open copilot and set up a new account and all the other stuff
3. backup the new licp8.dat to your memory card
4. when the trial expires just delete the licp.dat and copy the other one to your windows-folder.
(the one you copy to the windows folder is the backup you made 15 days ago, just after finishing the setup)
Hoped it helped someone
Thx again, Qwak

[Q] [ALL] Any Google Talk/Yahoo Messenger compatible apps for the WP7?

Are there any applications for chatting on Google Talk (I believe it's the Jabber/XMPP protocol) and/or Yahoo Messenger available for WP7?
Specifically, I have an LG Optimus 7.
Same question here - anybody interested in starting a homebrew effort?
IM+ is coming, hopefully sooner rather than later.
I imagine the lack of socket support makes things a little more difficult for developers.
I heard Yahoo had a webapi (http)? I would try but it's christmas season and I got deadlines to meet at work, with a webapi a yahoo client should be easy to develop
+1 for a yahoo messenger

N/M, it's not out... Flory stopped their app because IM+ is coming out.... sigh.
What's with WP7 devs man? I'm finding a lot are like that, great app then a few weeks later, take it off the market for some stupid reason.
You won't see much until Mango because the API's developers need to really make IM's work isn't in current OS builds. Flory was horrid, and I don't think IM+ will be that great as it still needs to rely on a 3rd party server system to do notifications.
There is also no multitasking until Mango which is needed for the ability to have it run in the background and notify you when somebody sends you a message.
yea i need 1 to
Just released a free version 0.9 with a feedback button.
If the users have a problem, they can tell you that.
When all bugs are fixed, released a free version with ads and a pro version for money.
