Mouettus Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Try selecting UK or USA as your region/country. Most services will then be available. I live in Canada and that's what I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in Canada and that's what I do. Nah, it's not the service, the services work fine, it's just some apps, depending on the dev and how they release it that only show up on specific countries, and I can't change my region on my PC because if the PC's locale doesn't match the live ID locale then Zune won't login on the PC anyways. The locale on the phone is set to the UK though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auroka Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 StormGlass - IMO its the best free weather app I've used so far. It uses live tiles and has an option to show a time-stamp on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepsihabbit Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 apps are the only thing keeping me from owning a windows phone.

If you're still using an Optimus 7, you can edit the registry to browse the UK / US maketplace on the phone instead. Not sure if it'll let you download though, I'll check that now.

That's what I did with Kindle (not available in Canada), and some others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it'll let you download though, I'll check that now. This is interesting, let me know if it works and if so how to change it. I mean right now, even on the phone, the marketplace checks my Live ID so it knows what locale it's set to, even browsing on the phone only and not on the PC doesn't change things, apps that are limited to US only or US, UK etc only and not uploaded with a "global" setting by the dev just don't show up for me or don't give me the option to install them to the phone even when I use a direct link to them.

Zain Adeel Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Guys.. I just like to add that Tango video calling app is working perfectly on my Omnia 7 with no ffc.. the back cam works brilliantly. Just an advice. If you own a samsung device. Download tango app published by Samsung.. it will be in the Samsung Zone. They have some other tweaks added to make it run better. As i read some complaints that there were missing call alerts for ppl who were using the Tango app from the original publisher on old samsung devices. Great app great performance. Only downside is that not many ppl use it. So i guess will have to wait for skype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zain Adeel Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 try experimenting with using more guns and less lazers.. lazers are slow.. also. use that energy thingy.. and explode it at times where you need to clear the whole screen.. the pink ones are the hardest followed by those yellow ones that take a lot of fire to go down.

Muhammad Farrukh Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I don't get that energy thing. Whenever I need it and explode it, I don't see anyone get hurt or something. I can't seem to understand how it works. Is it that it just uniformly lower the health of all of them? And yes I use the green ones and pink ones and upgrade them continuously. And of course the slow towers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
