I live in a country that currently has no marketplace support.
I have registered a Live account for the UK so that I can at least download free apps to my Phone.
I would like to register for a development ($99) account so that I can unlock my phone for development.
1) Any tips for a successful registration are welcome.
Microsoft announced that marketplace support for my country will become available somewhere this year.
2) Will I be able to 'transfer' my developer account / change my Live account so that it will be valid for my country's marketplace or will that require me to pay another $99 to Microsoft for a new developer account?
I read that multiple Live accounts can be registered on a WP7 phone.
3) Is it a good idea to create 2 different Live accounts: 1 for normal/personal use (email, calendar etc.) and 1 specially for a development account?
4) Would it be preferable to register the developer acount as the second (not the primary) account on the phone?
5) Is it possible to create a developer account for a country that currently has no marketplace support, register it on the phone as secondary live account, and register a primary Live account for a country that does have marketplace support (e.g. UK)?
(I wish Microsoft would not have made it so difficult to start developing for WP7 for people in countries that don't have marketplace support yet.)

GeoTrust are so rude in dealing with registration for the app hub.
I am a student in country X and I provided them with my passport from the original country Y, and my driver's licence from the original country Y and a receipt for an ID from the country X where I study.
... and they didn't approve my application. They claim that I have to provide the residence ID from the country where I study (which I don't have right now, but the receipt is the one used whenever the ID is required!)
Voila, I beleive your case is impossible compared with what I've been through
I'm really surprised by the total lack of helpful contributions in this thread.
A little help and/or pointers would be appreciated.

I would also like to have a marketplace developer account. My university is in the msdnaa (dreamspark?) program but as I am in latin america they will probably take 2-3 more years to bring the service here. (Xbox live arrived last november).
The only way that I can imagine to get your applications submitted, is to get a "front man" in one of the available countries.
Me too. I'm a MVP and would like to have developer account. But I can't.

You will not be able to register on AppHub unless you actually live in a country where marketplace payouts are available. The key word here is payouts as there are a few countries with no marketplace access for purchases but where you can still register as a developer. Have a look at "Regional Information" towards the bottom of this page.

This is a moot point as you are unable to register using a, e.g. UK account unless you live there - and can prove it. In short; unless you can provide GeoTrust with proof of identity and address in the country you've told them, you will not be verified and not get access to your account.

That depends. If you have the opportunity to create a new Live ID using your business email that would likely be preferrable as customers can contact you directly thru your Publisher name. It really makes no difference to the way the accounts work on the phone though.

Yes. You would want the primary account to be your "personal" account as that's where it will upload photos, pull OneNote books and sync contacts/calendars from by default.

Yes. Although see above for caveats. This is the only way to get Marketplace access though, so unless you can live with "free" apps only or know mktplace is being rolled out in your country within the next few weeks or months - it's what you have to do.
Also of note is that your AppHub account does not have to reside on your phone at all. You can leave it on the desktop only and still unlock your device for development using the provided tools.
Finally, if your country has neither purchase or payout access to the marketplace the only other option is to use something like Yalla Apps or a friend from an approved country as a front man. I've done this for a few people already so if that's something of interest PM me.
^ Very helpful info. Thanks emigrating!

ok, I don't know how helpfull this info is but, once you have a developer account you can unlock multiple devices then use one of the many registry hacks out there to prevent your phone from relocking, even post-nodo, then after the hack is applied you can remove the phone from the developer account and unlock a different one. So if you can your best bet would be find a friend whome you trust with an account and let them unlock your phone for you, or someone at your school, maybe you could even pay them a small handling fee.
Hello Developers,
Need some suggestions:
I got my two Play Store accounts suspended so far.. I really need something concrete to move further:
My only question is here that CAN I USE THE SAME PC TO EXPORT APK'S???
Since my last experiences i learnt a few things and now I am using all new apps, using proguard now, credit card of other person, using a public PC to operate this new account... But i can't use another PC to export the apk's. So, would this play store bot catch it?? or i will sail through?? (Is the same PC i run my old mails with IP addresses )
Any guidance is heartily welcome.
(Really pissed off on Play Store for blocking me again and again)
Regards
Manish
Hi,
You won't get any help with that here on XDA.
Thread closed.
Long story short, someone came into our home while we were there and took many electronics.
One of them was the Galaxy Note II (ATT) and I see the device is still active and I believe it still accessing the google play store or syncing to my gmail account based on recent activity I can see from my gmail account.
How can I track the location from where this is happening? The police ares supposedly going after them after we found other clues but if I can get a location from where the device was being used, that would be a dealbreaker.
I have / had my gmail account setup and I see last time it synced. I'm not a pro at this but asking for help from some bright minds here. Can anyone help me out?
The more evidence I have for law enforcement, they won't be able to deny who I already know it is. I am looking for more proof to back up my accusation / discovery.
EDIT : Maybe this right place to ask this question or right forum or maybe I'm just out of luck and need to move on. Sorry if stepped over any boundaries with this post.
I just found that some developers from 4PDA are extremely talented, and I want to contact them, but:
1. Can't create an account in the site, it prompts me with a captca I can solve, even knowing a little bit of russian
2.Someone provided me with an account there, but I also can't login to the damn page.
3.None of the guys are active in XDA, even the ones who have profiles registered here.
So I wish someone could help in with one of these options, so I can bring good material for Galaxy S6/ S5 and Xperia C to XDA (my device that I'm currently struggling with).
I would be grateful if you:
1.Create an account there for me and show me how to log into it.
2.Contact the developers for me.
Any of these options would be of help, thanks.
Hello all respectful members and users of Xiaomi Note 5
I'm here today to talk about an issue with MI account region, if you have an old account it is set to China and you cannot change it, same issue if you moved to another country.
I have an account since 2014, although I'm Egyptian they set the region to "China" and now I can't change it
I tried to correct the region from my phone, and by signing in from the laptop, but they don't give you an option.
Then I decided to contact them, they suggested unreasonable workaround which was to delete the account and make a new one!
I also reported a bug here, if you want to help in fixing this bug, please visit the bug report here and click on "confirm" at the end of the report.
Kindly leave your thoughts and comments on the thread.
Have a nice day :fingers-crossed:
