How to change primary LiveID email without resetting WP7 (by sensboston)

On the desktop:
1) Go to http://account.live.com and sign in with your old account;
2) Change your LiveID email (use existing email or get new one from @hotmail.com);
3) Save your changes and re-login with new ID.

On the handset:
1) Using registry editor or provisioning file, change these values:

Code:

[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync\Partners\{B2830118-7BC6-4A74-8C9A-3D8B9CEF88E0}]
"Email"=[B][email protected][/B]
"User"=[B][email protected][/B]

[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\IdentityCRL\Environment\Production]
"DefaultID"=[B][email protected][/B]

Provisioning file:

Code:

<wap-provisioningdoc>
   <characteristic type="Registry">
      <characteristic type="HKCU\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync\Partners\{B2830118-7BC6-4A74-8C9A-3D8B9CEF88E0}">
         <parm name="Email" value="[email protected]" />
         <parm name="User" value="[email protected]" />
      </characteristic>
      <characteristic type="HKCU\Software\Microsoft\IdentityCRL\Environment\Production">
         <parm name="DefaultID" value="[email protected]" />
      </characteristic>
   </characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>

2) Reboot phone.

Now you on new LiveID email without factory reset!

Please submit any Registry Tweak you have and I will update this post.

maybe you know how to disable that "auto prediction/writing" thing on the Soft keyboard ?

the problem is that if your phone is in English and you want to write some Dutch words it makes his own words

domineus · Jan 10, 2011 at 8:53 PM

I have to say in combination with ansar's work, we could have a public kitchen for htc devices. I am impressed

Go into settings > Keyboard then clear the checkbox: "Correct mispelt words"

This annoys me to when shortening words so I disabled it!

Someone found anything about enabling Tethering on the HTC device registry?

thesecondsfade · Jan 12, 2011 at 4:06 PM

Anyone come across a reg entry that specifies the default SMS or Dialer app? I want it to bring up GoVoice when tapping 'Call Mobile' or 'Text Mobile' from within the People Hub.

eeeeeh · Mar 31, 2007 41 2 0

does anyone know what is the default value of the in-call volume, and how can we increase the volume level on HD7? I'm on the road all the time and the level is too soft (I used to use Dual Touch with custom 6.5, and it was pretty darn loud).

thanks xboxmod. my oversight...

By reading the value names, I'm guessing I should be adjusting the first one?

"Volume" - the "possible" maximum volume?!???!?
"MaxSystemUIVolume" - the max UI display value?
"MaxInCallUIVolume" - the in-call display max value?
"MaxdBAtten" - no idea
"MinInCallVolume" - minimum in-call volume?

mindfrost82 · Jan 13, 2011 at 4:12 PM

I posted this in the thread about how to edit the registry, but its probably better here.

On my HTC Surround, there's no 3G Toggle under the Cellular menu, only Data Connection, which either turns it on or off.

In section 12, I noticed there's one for Show3GToggle, I tried setting that to 1 and I still don't have that toggle.

Do you have any idea how to get this to show up? I think its hidden on all of the At&t WP7 phones.

hi all can sopme one make a vid showing how to edit reg

(nico) · Jan 14, 2011 at 6:48 AM

If you want to edit an existing key, try to use the registry app http://bit.ly/gyN9nL.
If you don't see the key you want, you'll have to do it manually for the moment.
