Is there a way for me to change my Windows Live account credentials without wiping my phone? I changed my login email address, and now my phones freaking out. I'm dev and interlop unlocked.

It's not supposed to be possible, no.
I've heard reports that you can change it by using the Supreme Shortcuts app to re-run the Out Of Box Experience, which will allow you to specify a new primary account. This is totally unsupported, though - for whatever reason (don't ask me...) Microsoft decided they really wanted to make you hard-reset before doing that.

follow the post will change the live account without reset your wp7
Thanks, that looks promising. Now that I have the provxml file, how do I actually load it on to the phone? I can't find anything about that.
Ahhh it's killing me that I'm so close. I can't figure out how to find the GUID I need for the provxml file, but I think I figured out how to load it.

Thanks, worked perfectly
Just out of interest, will apps bought with the original ID work if you change it to another?
about to give my old phone to a family member and wondering if there was a way to keep navigon on the phone for them!

Found a way around the enforcement of The Exchange security policy on FROYO (ROOT USERS ONLY), at least until lockpicker gets FROYO support.
You need to unzip and install the attached APK. It will give you an extra mail application on the phone (The Saphire, White envelope, and Gold Message popping out icon), but you can remove the stock one if you have some knowhow, or just delete your account from the stock one.
I take no credit for this. Original work done by raidzero at http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...onal-froyo-bypass-exchange-server-policy.html

I downloaded the zip file but I am new to rooting and not quite sure how to apply this zip to my phone... do i copy to root of sd card and boot into bootloader and apply it that way via recovery? or can i run the zip from the phone on normal boot.

You have to extract the apk from the zip file, and then just install the apk from a file manager program like estrongs or astro. You do not need to use recovery or the bootloader for this at all. I probably should gave just posted the apk, without zipping it up to avoid confusion but i didn't.
I have been hit with this ridiculous security policy too, my IT admin guy just shrugs his shoulders, and it doesn't seem to hit iPhones (which are hopeless for security anyway?).
So when I install .apk, do I then need to migrate my Exchange account to a new mail application?
I have a rooted phone, is there any way to just disable Exchange security policy? It even allows 'login attempts' to my device to be 'monitored', get stuffed, I'm not having that.

Not that I know of yet. Uninstall native email app. Use titanium bu. Clear security. Reboot. Install this one.

What is this app and how does it work? Is it a hacked native email app? Also, silly question perhaps, how do we know it's safe to use?
Native email ap, modded. Aosp, not sense. Click the link to original post in first thread for more info. I use this exclusively anytime I flash a new 2.2 rom.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
How was it modded, is the native app open source?
How are you all going with this? I'm thinking of installing it. Does it still pull in and integrate the work calendar and contacts?
Yep, but non-sense style...

C'mon....Just give it a try already if you're interested. Don't delete the stock mail app just yet, but delete your credentials, and remove your security (password). Then install this one, see if you like it. I honestly don't remember if it syncs calender with with sense (but I don't think it does). Don't use sense. It is not a Sense app. Its AOSP-like.
Nothing to lose by trying it.
Yeah ok I'll give it a shot.. There are several versions of this app flying around in various threads, is the link in this thread the one to use?
All seem the same to me. Could be mult authors/modders though. I just found on another forum and posted it here.

How can I get the email widget for unread message count? It does come with it.

It depends. Is it a sense widget you're talking about? If so, this will not work. This is the native android email application, not the Sense version. As such, the Sense widget cannot "talk" to this application. There may be a widget on the market for that though.
Beautiful...works great. I can't begin to express how much this helps me out. Any way to change the colors in the email app?
Muchas Gracias
FYI..i'm a noob
Sigh, still getting connection errors when trying to d/l attachments >1MB in size. Otherwise it works fine.
Anyone figured out how to delete it? Every time I erase the 'sent from Tmobile' crap it reverts back.
there should be a signature setting somewhere in the email app
Take it out of your Gmail
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
It does not allow itself to be removed in the regular imap email app. Annoying as hell. If u delete or change the sig it just reverts back to the T-Mobile sig.
Fortunately gmail app doesn't behave that way.
I gotta say that for a "vanilla" Android phone, T-Mobile really dug their nails into it. This ain't no nexus vanilla that's for sure.

This is happening to me too and it is completely unacceptable. This is happening on my exchange email, I know I can use touchdown but I have to pay for that. This should not be like this.
Would it be possible to get the apk from the Nexus One email client and install it on this phone?
And me. I don't want this T-Mobile signature on my corporate e-mail account. Calling support right now...
Talked to support. After the usual basic steps she looked in the database and said "oh yes, I see others are having the same issue. It would need a software update from Google, and there's no timeframe for that".
Time to get hacking...
IMHO, this is completely unacceptable; I just discovered this today. I can't use this for my work email (we have to put in our own corporate disclaimer) if I can't change the signature. The only tedious work around is to to delete it every time I start a new email/reply and put in some shortcut to insert my actual shortcut. As a former BB owner, this is terrible, and this phone is going back to t-mobile right now. Might be time to bite the bullet and just switch to Verizon and the droid pro. Sigh.
Yes it's a stupid bug for sure. Glad I already paid for touchdown.
If you don't want to pay for Touchdown, there are others as good if not better than Touchdown for free. Just look for them.
Fixed the issue by replacing the email.apk file with the one from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=775007
Can you tell me how you did this. I have tried to install the apk but it fails.
1) End the task of your existing one and click delete data/cache in manage applications.
2) Use Root Explorer and rename the old one in system\app to email.apk.old / make a backup of it
3) Copy the new one to system\app and click install
Thanks so much. No more signature! I was really bummed out about this one, but now all is good.
ahh, glad the directions worked. I had to work from memory as I initially tried the Gingerbread email.apk file and had to do a bunch of delete, uninstall, delete motions to get the one linked above to work.
No - the default Gingerbread version does not work. I believe the one above is based on the 2.3 code and does work. The black back ground is a lot nicer than the grey that the default client had.
This is the default email client and may work better for people that don't want to bypass Exchange security policies:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1041962
Awesome thanks...now I dont have to ask T-Mobile for a monthly fee for the advertising my emails were providing.
This is total crap!
How did you guys get around to renaming the original file? When I try it says insufficient permission. Looks like it is a read only file and am unable to change it.
You need root access.
HAS THERE BEEN AN UPDATE TO WP7 ROOT TOOLS TO MAKE THE SAMSUNG FOCUS S COMPATIBLE...SGH-I193

Before you change anything in the registry you must record the default settings on the device so you can simply change them back again. If you didn't do that, ask in these forums for the defaults for your device, someone will help you.
Im sorry, I just tried to search forums for the answers but im having a hard time...
Just wanna ask. I am currently on WP7 7004 and I already have activated it. If i update my phone to the latest 8104 I think, would it affect my activated phone? do I need to ask for a new activation number again? or would it be the same one?
Thanks and sorry for the noob question.
what do you mean when you say you activated it? unlock? if you talk about operator's activation it's linked to your sim card...not to your device...
if your device supports custom roms i would flash it instead of officialy updating it...

Thanks for replying. What I meant is I have already activated windows live account on my HTC HD2, which I assume is a custom one.. and Im planning to update it. using zune or CAB. Im just worried about having to activate windows live again... cheers!
Your windows live / zune account should have a Username/Password. therefore you would just insert that username and password into the corresponding accounts when prompted... I think that answers the question, if i read it correctly... lol

So you mean even if I flash my WP7 to the latest, its the same activation code I would be using if windows live asks me for one?

Yes, it's the same activation code that you'll need to enter. So long as you don't share that code with anyone else, you can use it as many times as you need to. Just keep it associated to your current Live ID.
wow!!! thanks everyone! ill start my update now. Have a good one!

I didn't really helped you...as you hadn't a real problem in fact...just under-informed about wp7 identification process...
Take care of your liveID/zune account because it will keep in memory all apps&games you install or buy, synchronize your contacts, calendar..etc...it's the minimum but crucial backup functions that wp7 offers.
no problem pal, have a good one.
Will appreciate any help you guys can bring me
I am new to this world, buy 710 to my girl as a gift. Now she wants a specific ringtone. But need Zune (it refuse to install) Windows Embedded S 7, downloaded 2 times and always get error.
So I was wondering if is there a way to set the ringtone on the go, for example in Android that is the world I know the most, you can set it, just need a file explorer then copy the file to the folder Ringtone in your SD Card, and viola you got to ringtones and there is the file you just copied. Any similar in Windows 7.8?.
Thanks for any help you can bring me.

1: Generally, avoid cross-posting. If you must cross-post (put the same message to multiple forums), make it clear what you're asking and don't force us to chase links.
2: Use a meaningful thread title. This one fails that test, hard. I read (almost) every thread in this forum section; most people won't bother with one that has a title like this.
3: Always search before posting. There are multiple apps that can convert MP3 to ringtones for WP7.

1.Thanks for that advice.
2.You are right from now will try to write a better title to my threads.
3. I always do. But no luck. Could you point me to any of those apps.
Thanks
My WP7 device is currently out of commission, but a search for "mp3 ringtone" on the WP8 marketplace turns up literally dozens of apps, many of which I know work on WP7 and some of which are explicitly to do what you need.
Alternatively, you could try solving the problem with Zune. What is the *exact* version of Windows you're trying to install it on?
