Hi,
If WP7 was not official launched in India you cannot access those features.
You must create or change your Windows Live account to a region that has WP7 official (UK, USA, Spain, Germany)
Thanks
Had the same issue.
So I have 1 official live account with India region(which I will use when WP7 releases world wide)
and an unofficial live account I currently use for downloading free apps.This one uses the address of a US Mc. Donalds outlet in Bethesda .
Cheers.
Have the same problem.
Can you provide a small guide as to how to go about it.
Btw is it possible to have to live accounts on the same phone?
Also I have already activated the phone with India all over.. so do i have to reset it to enter the fake ID?
Thanks in advance..
I just mailed HTC India regarding it since its now officially available moreover I bought the product with a 1 year warranty.
We can do this without creating ( and wasting time ) a US account
Use regedit and navigate to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Zune\Features
You will find 3 keys in it
Apps
Marketplace
singInavailable
in all those key values add IN for example
AT,AU,BE,CA,CH,DE,ES,FR,GB,IE,IT,MX,NZ,SG,US,IN
Launch Zune. Now you will be able to see marketplace. You can make purchase with your credit card , download free apps / games.
Only catch is : after we sync it with zune , registry value changes. You might have to redo this stuff. But the advantage is that when the marketplace is launched in india it will be seemless integration.
Hi asksaravana,
Your tips was truely helpful. I could download some useful apps from the marketplace.
I recently bought a T-Mobile handset HTCHD7 from US.
I want to use it India. Unfortunately all the T-Mobile applications are US specific.
Is there any ways to get Airtel specific applications?
Regards,
Ram.

This works, but now some of the downloaded applications have new versions. How to update them. Marketplace in phone shows 10 updates, but when you click, it gives errors that not available in your country/region.
Found a way to update installed applications on phone.
Install marketplace browser.
Search for the installed application in marketplace browser.
Once you open the application page, you will see update button if there is a new version for the installed app.
Click update and update all your apps one by one.
Marketplace thru Wifi / GPRS
Hey guys, just reached this thread, is there a way any one figured out to get marketplace working either by wifi or gprs / 3G
Coz trying to browse the market from the phone shows " Not Available on your Region" - Zune works perfect.
Regards,
NVV
Solution Found for Marketplace in india
open up zune.
create a new live account from within zune. select location as US.
it will automatically sign you in .
go to your control panel - region and language.
set the location to US under the location tab.
apply the registry hack as mentioned in the above posts.
restart zune.
you can access apps , music, videos . podcasts in marketplace now.
i have been doing this.works all the time.
( you need to change the registry settings everytime before opening zune. or create a registry and that will make everything little easy )
have fun
So is Marketplace still not available in India?
I just switched to Windows Phone. I even bought an app using an Indian account and an Indian credit card. However, the only way I can access Marketplace is by making the registry changes. I can't access it in my phone.
I just uninstalled an app and I have no idea how to re-install it. Can anyone help?

Hello,
I live in Poland and we still can't buy paid android apps, which really p*sses me off. Is there an alternative way to buy from the market? I don't want to use pirated software.
Pretty sure if you email the Dec of app you want they will work something out with you. Also try market enabler

Root phone, install Market Enabler which will allow your phone to pretend that it is in a different market (ie one with paid apps available). Works great. I am in Canada, which does not have paid apps yet, and use it to buy apps. This was the main reason I rooted my phone.
I live in Norway and we don't have access to paid apps yet.
I did install Market Enabler, and got access, but when I'm buying, after I've input credicard information, nothing happens. The phone tries to connect and eventually I get an errormessage that a connection could not be etablished (or something in that effect)
I chose Market Enabler 3 (beta) as I'm using a Hero ROM. (Old version does not work), and I choose o2 (de) as provider.
Any tips?
tried using Slideme, it is an alternative market that works outside of the android market.
Thanks for the replies! I rooted my phone finally (using flashrec) and by the way updated to some hero ROM (myhero-1.1.1 to be exact) and used Market Enabler. Works really well so far, I haven't had time to try to actually purchase anything yet, but I can see paid apps now.
I love the HTC Sense look and feel, but I there are some bugs that weren't present in the vanilla magic (skippy music, worse jabber integration, etc).
It's amazing how easy it is to root and flash your phone these days, I remember last time I was thinking about it the howto scared the hell out of me. And I'm a developer (just a lazy one).
Just purchased my frist app on Android Market
There was one issue, maybe this will help someone: When I entered my credit card details on my phone it didn't work - there was some kind of server error. I had to go to google checkout using browser on my computer, enter my cc details and then I was able to buy apps off android market.

Try setting up your Google checkout account using a PC based browser. Once you do that you should only be shown the price and have to confirm to buy.
That worked for me.

Hi guys,
I am new here so please no hard words
I am all set to buy HD7 in a few days in India, I know marketplace is not yet available here but I have changed the registry just to check out some of the apps but I have some doubts
1) will I be able to buy the paid apps with my live ID of India.
2) I came to know same case as of iphone's store some apps are not available in India, so if I make a US ID and then use my Indian credit card will I able to download and install stuff on my phone.
other questions not relating to marketplace
1) Can I play HD videos 720p directly on my phone my directly sync it through HD7.
2) some of my friend are using htc phone with android and their complaint is that we cant use GPRS on htc mobile as said by vodafone. Will GPRS work normally as it does on other phones.
3)Is the screen better from Samsung galaxy S ( I am jealous of my frnd's SGS ) please rate the screen on a scale of 10.
4) should i go for HD7 or samsunf focus ( if i get a unlocked one in india) ..?
thank you.
1) will I be able to buy the paid apps with my live ID of India.
Yes create a live ID for India and you will be able to use most of the applications except Xbox Live games if your account is tied to India
2) I came to know same case as of iphone's store some apps are not available in India, so if I make a US ID and then use my Indian credit card will I able to download and install stuff on my phone.
I have tied my account to India and dnt know if i tie with US...

Yes works perfectly
3)Is the screen better from Samsung galaxy S ( I am jealous of my frnd's SGS ) please rate the screen on a scale of 10.
I cant say better but it is really good
4) should i go for HD7 or samsunf focus ( if i get a unlocked one in india) ..?
its upto you, both are WP7 fones...
I bought a game off of the market and the my HD7 had to be replaced.
How do I get this game back?
When you set up your windows id on the phone, as long as it is the same one as the original, it should automatically find/install any paid apps.If it doesn't search the market place for it and click buy, it should then tell you that the app has been purchased and would you like to install it again.
Hope this helps.
to elaborate further:
If you bought the app using the zune desktop client, it will autoinstall when you sync the device the first time.
If you bought it straight from the phone then you need to find it in marketplace and click on "buy" like stated above and it should let you install it again for free.
I have discussed this with zune devs and they are working on a better solution (being able to manage apps through zune).
Hi,
is it possible to get such apps (region restricted) as it is in iOS and Android?
You would have to change your Microsoft Account to one of that region. That will most likely lead to problems with payment from your Credit Card as it won't be accepted in other regions. Also it would mean hard resetting your phone to change the account and therefore you would have only access to the other regions Apps but not to those exclusive to your home market.
Payment is not a problem as I wanted to download free apps anyway - but if I do what you suggest I will loose other apps I got on right now that are not available elsewhere.
Not to mention e-mails, calendars, contacts, etc...
This really SUCKS!
Depends...
I wanted to download HERE Drive Beta while it wasn't available to my region, and I have changed my region in phone to USA, downloaded the app, and then reverted back to Serbia. No hard reset, no new account, no nothing.
U might try this, if it is some app that is tied to another market.
It did worked - thanks!
Looks like with free apps it is not a big issue
Thanks
I couldnt find good free NFC application in my region (Turkey). Maybe I will try to change region and search it. Thanks for this idea.:good:
Try to change Country and speek settings in the phone. So I have downloaded the DevCenter App from US Marketplace what was not available in Germany!
Hi,
Few days ago I bought a new device and i`m looking for another music player. In this forum found "Windows beta Music player" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2105560 and downloaded app in to sd card. Unfortunately when I try to install my device show message that this app isn`t available in my market (btw. I think its wrogn idea when i install app from sdcard I must connect to marketplace, but it`s about money). I read solusions for that problem (change/create LiveID in US market, reset phone), one solusion is to enable this app in other markets by author. Is there any other option ? Can it be add by the app author (mcosmin222) into my local app store?

If you get a Developer Subscription you can setup up to 3 phones for development, and install any xap now I think there is a promo for $19
PM him, maybe he'll add you, maybe not. But even with a dev account you won't be able to install it since it's from the marketplace and encrypted.

If the app you want is free & available for your phone in Marketplace, just not in your region all you need to do is to change region in your phone setting and restart your phone. This is how I got Netflix, Crackle, BBC iPlayer, and Hulu in Poland where those services and apps are not available officially at all.
If app is not free... it might be more difficult as your CC is register in different country.
Since I never needed paid apps from US or UK, cant help you with that - sorry.

I can confirm. If the app is free (as it is), changing region and restarting is enough.
