WP 8.1 Games app issue - Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everybody,
I am running wp8.1 and since the last 2 "xbox games" app updates on windows phone i cannot connect to xbox games. Whenever i launch the application i can see my games collection but when i navigate to Social page (where my avatar, achievements and friends would apear) i get a notification to Join xbox live or sign in. I select join or sign in but nothing happens. If i choose to refresh i get a message "Can't refresh, there's a problem with the xbox service or your connection. Try again later". This issue appeared after applying the %^$^# update which made the app to disappear from the app list. I applied the latest update but still no luck. Anyone having the same issue? Any solutions available apart from resetting my lumia?
Is it possible somehow to reinstall the app?
Thanks.

[Q] Froyo not able to play Storm8 Games.

I upgraded my Galaxy S I9000 to Froyo[I9000ZSJPD], however i just not able to get access to Storm8 game, such as ninjas live and world war.
Anyone encouter this and got any idea to solve this issue?
I play all 8 storm8 games on my myTouch 3G with Froyo 2.2.1
On any game that you play, go to the main game page, you'll see a "gear" or "gog" icon near the bottom, select that icon. This brings you to another screen with 3 tabs, choose the tab labeled "Storm8". On this screen, mine account is already setup so it shows my information but if you haven't setup an account yet it will let you create one here or give you a web link to the Storm8 page.
Enjoy!

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?

Weird problem with my HD7, help

I have an unusual issue with my HD7, i live in a country that doesn't support marketplace but my hotmail account is based in america. I usually can download apps normally but for the past week it tells me "attention required. Tap here." when i do tap i get "Can't get this info right now. Check back in a little while." this is after the app goes into downloads and it also happens when i want to update an app. although i can add apps through zune software, so far i only added the 7dialer app and it worked. If anybody has any idea what this is please help, thanks.
Known issue. I believe the work around is to uninstall the app. When you reinstall it, it'll be the latest version. The only bummer is you lose your settings, saves, etc.

[Q] Marketplace app NOT in marketplace anymore?

Hi,
Just got my NoDo about five hours ago, then almost 7 trial apps and games have been prompted by the tile to be updated:
1. Need for Speed
2. Doodle God
3. oh, I can't remember the rest
but one thing is certain, after the download and update of the apps, everything was removed from the live tile except 1: Doodle God. Now I remember posting this as annoyance whenever I update some apps and still warns me to update when I was at 7008(pre NoDo). I was answered back then that if the app is purchased (non-trial anymore) the update gets done and it won't appear again. Another thing is try to uninstall the trial app and install it again. That way you would install the latest updated trial-mode of the app.
That is what I was about to do to the Doodle God game, I uninstalled it and wanted it to buy for good. I am hesitant to buying it before since it only has one profile, which means only one person can play.
Now, I can't find Doodle God anymore, I tried using the developer site but the wp7 download link gives me the marketplace where it should suppose to have a try & buy button but the buttons are not there. The thumbnail and description of the game and the "show details" is there but there is just no download, try, or buy button.
Now I don't know if it was officially gone from the marketplace since I can't find it scrolling down to almost every game there is.
Is it just the post NoDo thing or what?
I had that happen to me a few times with certain apps (long before nodo), in that it wouldn't show a Try or Buy button.
The workaround that I figured out, is to open one of the thumbnails of the app, maybe swipe to a second image, then hit the back button. All buttons would then appear.
Haven't had to do that in a long while though, your results may vary.
But yeah, I don't see it anywhere. Could have gotten pulled for a number of reasons.
Trying to download it through Zune states "Bad Application Info"
So who knows. Would suck if it got pulled, looks like a cool game.
I'm trying to do it to the point that I wanted to reset my phone. The only thing that's keeping me from resetting it is the sms backup and restore, which wp7 currently doesn't have.
and yeah it's a cool and an addicting game. thanks

NFL ticket to go....

Well NFL/Directv announced that Nfl ticket will be coming to Android Tablets including the Xoom along with other Android phones.. Being that I have the NFL package I went right into the market to look for it. I did see it for both my sensation and Xoom. Then of course grabbed it. Now when I opened her up and tried to run it I get network error. It asks you to sign in with your Dtv account, I di that and then get the error. Anyone else?I know there are no games on but if I am not mistaken the app is supposed to give you the redzone channel s well as some other app futures
i got the same issue
ive had Sunday ticket for years and they don't activate it until the regular season starts. With ticket to go my understanding is that they have not flipped on the servers yet which is why you are getting the network error.
same thing
I have the same problem, but it logs in fine on my ipad, but gives a network error when I try to connect with my G2. anybody get it working yet on android? I don't want to wipe my phone and reload if it's going to do the same thing afterwards.
There is a tablet optimized app now. When i log on I get a intro video that says we will see you sunday.
started working on my android phone last night.
Seems like a nice app. Can't wait.
I can't install NFL Game Pass for Tablets on my Xoom with Tiamat-ROM 2.2 (Honeycomb 3.2). :-(
I will flash original 3.1 and hope, that I can install the app. Wish me luck.
when I go into the market it tells me...
Purchase Cancelled
The item you were attempting to purchase could not be found.
retry cancel
?? thought it was a free app but then again the market has bee very weird for my on my xoom
edit....
oh never mind the app requires phone and my xoom is wifi only
