[Q] Connection Setup - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I am on Simple Mobile on an unlocked Tmobile HD7. The problem is that everytime I run the HTC Connection Setup the phone detects Tmobile as the default conncection (which is because Simple Mobile does use Tmobile networks)
however when I manually select Simple Mobile from the provider list. MMS/Picture Message seems to work fine. Of course given the fact that Data Connection is active and we don't have much APN settings for MMS on Windows Phone Mango (yet).
So I was wondering if instead of using the HTC Connection Setup if I use some other OEM connection setup app like that of Nokia or Samsung using the xap marketplace changer,
would it still work ??? I don't want to run HTC Connection Setup again and again for it might relock my deepshining custom ROM.
Please answer.

It won't work. The various setup apps work using a type of configuration file called provxml. In order to have the permissions to apply these files, the apps need to call into a high-privilege system component (a software driver, usually). These components are OEM-specific (they're part of the OEM firmware, not part of the Microsoft OS) and therefore each app targets its own OEM's component. Connection Setup won't work on any phone without the HtcProvisionDrv.dll driver binary (so, on any non-HTC phone), and the other apps won't find the component they need on an HTC phone.
That said, why are you worried about relocking? That doesn't make sense. First of all, there's no reason why that would happen (you'd have to install the equivelent of the HTC Interop Unlock XAP, but with the provxml files set to lock the phone instead of unlocking). Second of all, a Full-Unlock ROM like yours doesn't need to worry about that anyhow. That's baked into the ROM and can't be removed without re-flashing the phone.

ok...got it...thanks for your reply. Well I was worried because I read it somewhere that running HTC Connection Setup might lock the device again. Can't remember where. Anyways it really is annoying to run the setup again and again...I wish there was a registry fix to input the MMS settings manually.

[Q] Application Deployment not working after interopunlock

Having a crazy day. Got the new ChevronWP7 unlock last night. Did the internet sharing interop combo. Now get error trying to reload xap files. Trying to put on accentchanger file.
Error - failed to connect to the device. Ensure that the device is connected..
The xap app is not supported
You have to deploy supported xap only
Ex:
Screen cupturer
Nokia maps
Battery status
Tango, but it is now in marketplace
Some other apps like Native keyboard are not working.
Good luck.
Sent from my 7 Mozart
@verynuclear: Not sure what you think you're trying to say, but it's totally possible to use high-privilege apps like Advanced Config (which does custom accent colors, among other things). You just need Interop Unlock, which is easy on LG, possible (via an app) on Samsung, and difficult but not impossible on HTC (I have it on my HD7).
The problem is that after using the Interop-unlock app on his or her Samsung phone, the OP seems to be having trouble with the XAP deployment tools. @jgibo, I suggest you read and then post in the relevant threads for those apps, rather than starting a new thread.
The main reason for asking question is if the deployment tool stopped working for anyone else. After I got Chevron on there I was able to install screen capture, accent changer. Screen capture worked. So I removed accent changer and followed instructions for interop unlock install. Then saw the thread for internet sharing and interop in one. Installed that to phone. Got internet sharing Then tried a few different xap files and couldn't install any. So did that xap mess something up? Guess I will look elsewhere for answers.
This is all they have on MSDN site.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This can be caused by several reasons, including if the device is off. If the device is already connected, sometimes disconnecting and then reconnecting the device may fix the problem. Rebooting the device may also fix this problem
You do have internet sharing OFF right? You can not deploy XAP's with ICS on. I don't mean to be rude but it really does pay to read the whole post when someone gives instructions on how to do something before saying it messed up your whatever.

As long as your device is unlocked in some way (Developer/Chevron/Other) you can get internet sharing on your Samsung phone.
1.) First install the WP Dev Tools and unlock your Samsung phone.
2.) Use the Application Deployment tool to send THIS to your phone. You do not need to run it and you can delete it after it has been deployed.
3.) Install the Diagnosis app by typing ##634#
4.) After the Diagnosis app starts type *#9908# and select 'System Tweaks' press 'Save' then 'Close' and RESTART your phone.
5.) Your phone now has internet sharing and as a bonus is interop unlocked!
PS: You need to have a recent firmware on your phone or your diagnosis app and drivers will not be new enough to work.
EDIT: I built the file depoyer app using the tools provided by Heathcliff74 so many thanks to him! Also ADC is built in as well so no need to worry about that and I also upped the max number of connections from 3 to 5 devices.
NOTE: If you have internet sharing turned on (active hotspot) you will not be able to deploy XAP's untill it is turned off. Also, as with any xap, you need to have your screen unlocked to deploy.

Of course if you have ICS off then I'm sorry for this little rant and all I can suggest is restarting your phone and PC and trying again.
ICS is and was off. Found other posts with same message. Currently reinstalling dev tools. I do IT support for a living and hate havinng to do troubleshooting on my own stuff From past experience with computers it is either a coincidence or cause when a new problem occurs. Hence the questions asked. I do remember seeing an odd usb error in system try when I was doing step 4. Did a troubleshoot on my Focus connection but that didn't help. Also tried all usb connections. If the reinstall doesn't work will have to get my htpc out and try on it.
Reinstall didn't work. Since it stopped after running system tweaks I am trying again. Wish the instructions had a note on how long after hitting the save button before it was done. Has the Loading GPRS Profile for System Tweaks on screen. I think I may have hit the close button yesterday while is was still showing Loading. Right now I am not touching phone till I see it go away. Unless you are supposed to hit close right after hitting save.
The settings are applied almost instantly, as soon as it says loaded after you hit save then you can hit close and restart. Another user stated they had to turn ICS on then off again before he could deploy XAPs. Another question, you haven't turned on wired tethering have you? I ask because if you don't set your phone back to Zune sync you also will get the error you are getting.
EDIT: Main question, does Zune see your phone when you plug it in at all? Can you sync media? Cause if you can't you have another issue that is beyond anything my XAP could have done.
That kind of worked. Turned on ICS then back off. Got Advanced Config to install. Now get UnauthorizedAcessException. Click ok and app closes. Go from one issue to another.

[Q] chevron wp7 connectivity problem

I am able to reach upto that dialog box where I have. To select both options and click unlock.
But as I click unlock same connectivity problem arises.
Says unable to communicate with ur phone
Make sure Zune is running is there a solution
ChevronWP7 Unlocked does not work on any phone version newer than 7008. This is quite well documented. Additionally, the certificate it uses (the file you had to install) is expired, and won't work unless both the phone and the PC have their clocks set bback a few months. If you read the last few pages of the ChevronWP7 Unlocker thread, this was also mentioned several times and in some detail.
Please, research hacks before you try to use them. It will save everybody some time and trouble, but most especially yourself.

Max. Unsigned App error

Using a Dev + Interop Unlocked LG Optimus 7
I have some 10-15 XAPs, homebrew installed but when I tried installing another app today, it said:
Maximum no. of Unsigned apps are installed.
I have tried this Reg edit but the same error.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg\Install]
"MaxUnsignedApp"=dword:7fffffff
I don't know how all of a sudden I got this error, no factory reset or anything was done.
A few days back, I upgraded to Tango 8773, could this be the reason?
When you apply hacks to your phone, you *really* need to do some research before installing updates. It's well documented (here and on other WP7-homebrew-centric sites) that Tango will reset (restore) the URLs that WP7 uses to check its unlock status with Microsoft. Among other things, this check happens every time the phone connects with the PC, so as soon as you plug the phone in, the phone learns from Microsoft that you're only *supposed* to have 10 unsigned apps, and resets that registry value.
Fortunately, on an LG this is quite easy to fix; simply re-apply the "prevent relock" hack (you can find the relevant registry values on the Dev&Hacking sub-forum), and then re-apply interop-unlock, and you'll be good to go.

Can't change OEM Marketplace anymore :(

I can't change the oem marketplace...now my marketplace oem stucks on OEM APPS from Marketplace Config but it doesn't work, I tried to change the oem by WPHTHWEAKS, winTT (it doesn't open anymore ), via manual registry modification but nothing the oemmarketplace doesn't work and doesn't change...any solution??? I am in panic...
First of all, do *NOT* change anything in the registry to switch Marketplaces!! Doing so will break the Marketplace DRM on your phone, making it impossible to install or run Marketplace apps. If you did change anything, change it back immediately!
Assuming that hasn't already happened, a little more detail would help. What phone, what ROM, what unlocks and other hacks have you applied? Are you restarting the phone after applying the Marketplace switch?

Now after a lot of attempts I can change the oem marketplace...but when I open the oem marketplace (Nokia Collection, but tried with Samsung Zone too) it give me an error: "THE MARKETPLACE IS NOT AVAIBLE AT THE MOMENT. TRY AFTER. Code error:c00cee4f".
Did I break the DRM?? How can I fix it??...Anyway I can download and install apps and if I write "Nokia" in search bar, I can see all Nokia apps and download it without problem...
The phone is an Omnia W, stock rom rooted, upgraded to Tango.
Now the Oem Marketplace returned to be Samsung itself but it give me the same error....thanks for your help
Breaking the DRM usually makes it so you can't even launch Marketplace apps that are already installed, so that's probably not what's happening here. I don't know for sure what *is* happening, though. The only known way to fix your phone if you break the DRM is to either restore a backup from when it was working, or hard-reset, so hopefully that's not the problem.
That error code unfortunately doesn't mean anything to me. Disregarding the high-order bits (which Microsoft usually uses to show what type of status code it is; in this case, an error), that's error number 847439 in decimal. I've never seen that error before.
You might try just renaming or otherwise removing all the files in the PimentoCache\Keepers folder (all the Marketplace config files are there). Then restoart your phone. Marketplace might not work at that point, but the phone should automatically restore the correct files in a day or two.

[Q] xap file

[XAP] Internet Sharing + Interop Unlock all-in-one for Samsung Phones
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As long as your device is unlocked in some way (Developer/Chevron/Other) you can get internet sharing on your Samsung phone.
IMPORTANT: If you updated to 8107 via Zune you may have also updated your phones firmware. If this is the case you will not be able to use this hack. I would suggest rolling back to 7720/7740 and updating via CAB Sender using the cabs in Heathcliff74's thread.
1.) First install the WP Dev Tools and unlock your Samsung phone.
2.) Use Microsoft's Application Deployment Tool to send THIS (Update 8107 use THIS) to your phone. Don't run it, delete after it has been deployed.
3.) Install the Diagnosis app by typing ##634# on the phone keypad.
4.) After the Diagnosis app starts type *#9908# and select 'System Tweaks' press 'Save' then 'Close' and RESTART your phone.
5.) Your phone now has internet sharing and as a bonus is interop unlocked!
6.) (optional) Press the 'thanks' button at the bottom of this post if it worked for you.
PS: You need to have a recent mango firmware on your phone or your diagnosis app and drivers will not be new enough to work.
EDIT: I built the file depoyer using the tools provided by Heathcliff74 so many thanks to him! Also, ADC is built in to this as well so no need to worry about that. I also upped the max number of connections from 3 to 5 devices.
NOTE: If you have internet sharing turned on (active hotspot) you will not be able to deploy XAP's untill it is turned off. Also, as with any xap, you need to have your screen unlocked to deploy this to your phone.
SECOND NOTE: If you can't get any XAP's to deploy try turning ICS on then off again, it may correct some errors.

That seems to have done the trick. I am guessing that with sim security turned on ADC is not doing what its supposed to because the sim card is locked until the OS has fully booted and I put in my pin to unlock it. Since I really dont know what ADC does this is just a guess however I have only had a few minor data issues since turning sim security off. Anyone else out there having data issues should give this a try and let us know if it helps out.

Wait for it to say success, then reboot. This fixed all my data connection issues after applying this patch.
