I am bored and I am free, so let's kick off a useful thread for owners of WP7 phones. It's more productive than just b****ing about the lack of XX, YY or ZZ support/features/apps. Let's all share some of the cool and useful apps for other Malaysian users out there.

Please keep this clean and tidy. I'm recommending an easy format for everyone to submit apps they've found. Since I am volunteering to compile and keep this list fresh and updated, please try to follow the format below.

Type of App:
Name of App:
Price:
Comments:

Sample:

Type of App: Games
Name of App: Fruit Ninja
Price: SG$4.99
Comments: Addictive and fun casual games to kill time. Just swipe finger on screen to 'kill' fruits. Lol. A straight port from of the iOS version (graphics, game types, etc) but with Xbox LIVE achievements!

Type of App: Social
Name of App: Beezz
Price: Free
Comments: Alternative to offcial Twitter app. Supposedly better than the official Twitter app since the latest update has Live Tile support and Toast notifications. However, there are reports that some users do not get the Live Tile and Toast features and I am one of them. Hope the dev will look into that in the next update. In any case, it looks and feels better than the official Twitter app.




For those that don't know, you can easily search for any app in the Marketplace by pressing the SEARCH (magnifying glass button) while in the Marketplace hub. Simple.

Before anyone asks, I am getting my apps from the Singapore Marketplace because that is where my LIVE account is registered. Also, it's fortunate that I have my Malaysian credit card linked to it as well from my Xbox 360 days.

For those that are wondering how to pay for apps on the marketplace, here is a step-by-step guide on how to use your Malaysian credit card. I will use the easiest workaround that I know and can confirm that it works, and that is through the Singapore Xbox Live route. Anyone got anything easier, please feel free to share here. By the way, the only payment method accepted now is through credit card so there is no other alternative. Sorry.

*IMPORTANT: If you already have an existing non-Singapore LIVE account (hotmail), I don't know if you can link a Malaysian credit card to it. Please try to link it first because by creating a new LIVE account, you will lose all your existing contacts and info from your LIVE account such as friends on Messenger, hotmail contacts, etc.

First thing you can do is to go to https://account.live.com, and change your country/region to Singapore. Please key in a real Singapore address with a real postcode in your HOME LOCATION.

After doing so, you can skip straight to step #2.

If you already have an existing Singapore hotmail account, also skip to step #2.

GUIDE TO LINK CREDIT CARD TO SINGAPORE WINDOWS PHONE 7 MARKETPLACE AND BUY APPS IN MALAYSIA!

1. Sign up for a Windows LIVE account (www.hotmail.com) that is registered to a real Singapore address. Go search for a real Singapore post code from the net. It doesn't matter if you don't live there. I don't know if it matters, but select the 'hotmail.com' option

2. Once you've done that, go to www.xbox.com. First thing you do is the change locale at the top left corner from US (by default) to Singapore. Not sure if this matters, but just in case. Then choose the JOIN NOW option at the top right corner.

3. When you are redirected to the type of Xbox Live account page you want, you can opt for the FREE option.

4. In the page where you are required to key in your email, type in the email you've just created. You will then be redirected to a page when you need to key in some basic contact details. Do the necessary. For some strange reason, the month of your birthday selection box will be in Chinese but since its arranged numerically, it's not an issue unless you cannot count to 12. Click I ACCEPT to proceed.

5. In the next page, you can set your 'gamertag' of your choice. A gamertag is your nickname/avatar on Xbox Live. The first time is free so choose wisely. To change your gamertag next time, its 800 MS points or about RM30. After choosing your gamertag, go back to MY ACCOUNT.

6. Under the ACCOUNT INFORMATION option, choose EDIT PAYMENT OPTIONS. In the next page, fill in a real Singapore address you chose earlier and click NEXT.

7. In the next page is where you fill up your Malaysian credit card details. Do the necessary. No need to change the Singapore address you've just keyed in. Click NEXT to proceed.

8. And you're done! Your credit card is now linked to your LIVE account.* Note that if you've created a fresh LIVE account for this, you need to hard reset your phone and tie in the new LIVE account. That also means that all your contacts and info on LIVE (Messenger, hotmail, etc) is gone. Sorry.

*Okay. I have to note that I did not make any transactions to see if my card works with this newly created account. My card (Citibank Visa) works with my existing LIVE account so there should be no reason that it doesn't. So, please report back if this doesn't work ok? No need to complain or b**** about it.

Ok, now I'm kicking this thread off by sharing some of the useful apps I've found. Will add more soon but please help to populate this. Sharing is caring, guys.

Games

Name of App: Fruit Ninja
Price: SG$4.99
Comments: Addictive and fun casual game to kill time. Just swipe finger on screen to 'kill' fruits. Lol. A straight port from of the iOS version (graphics, game types, etc) but with Xbox LIVE achievements!

Name of App: Puzzle Quest 2
Price: SG$10.99
Notes: A Xbox Live game with 200 achievement points. Similar to the Xbox 360 Live Arcade version. Highly recommended if you like a Bejewelled + RPG type game. This game will last you a very long time. Can play as different heroes (Barbarian, Socerer, etc) with spells, weapons and items. Quite addictive.

Name of App: Flight Control
Price: SG$4.99
Comments: Another Xbox Live game. Easy and simple mechanics. Swipe a path for planes and helicopters to land on airports. Looks simple but can be quite hard in later levels. Has a few different airports with different types of game mechanics. Decent game for 4.99.

Name of App: Helicopter
Price: Free
Comments: A simple free game to kill time. Tap/hold screen to keep helicopter flying, release finger and the helicopter will descend. Keep doing that to avoid crashing into ground and obstacles. Simple graphics, but quite addictive. It's nothing great but its a nice free game.

(From marauderz)
Name of App: Project Sunburst
Price: SG$4.99
Comments: Simple tower defense like game... so simple until I don't really know how you lose or fail in this game... guess it's like Pocket God in that aspect. Just for you to keep time if you like tower defense games.

Comments: Spatial puzzler, catchy theme song, best graphics on WP7 so far.

Name of App: Spot the Differences
Price: Free
Comments: Exactly like the name suggest, this game requires you to spot the 5 differences between two photos before the time runs out. Can even pinch to zoom in on the photos. Only 18 photos to play in total. Not sure if more photos will be added over time, but it's a something fun to pass time and delete when done.


Entertainment

Name of App: Blue Screen
Price: Free
Comments: Fun app to show an image of the classic BSOD, VGA error screen, Mac error and Disk failure. Nothing much really, but funny to show off to ignorant friends. 'Hey, check it out. Here's the BSOD you are always going on about'

Name of App: IGN
Price: Free
Comments: Must have for gamers. It's a great app for gamers to read articles from IGN on their WP7 phones. Adopting a Metro style UI, you can read news, reviews, upcoming games and watch videos. Looks great visually. Speedy loading times too if you have a good reception.

Music & Video

Name of App: Shazam
Price: Free
Comments: Useful app to know the artist and the name of any song. Just launch the app, put it next to the radio or whatever and it will 'magically' tell you what it is. Needs Internet access. Most of you should know this by now anyways.

Name of App: YouTube (By HTC so for HTC phones only. The app with the YouTube logo against a white background)

Price: Free
Comments: Download this in addition to the normal YouTube app, this one has a better search and navigation experience.

Photo

Name of App: Thumba Photo Editor
Price: SG$1.59
Comments: Best photo editing app on the WP7 yet. Pretty much does everything you can possibly think of to a photo. Rotate, crop, resize, HDR, adjust contrast, white balance, brightness, exposure and a whole load of other effects. Nicely integrated with the Picture Hubs too. Without a doubt, worth the 1.59.

Name of App: Photobucket
Price: Free
Comments: Mobile app for Photobucket. Duh. Log in to your account to upload your favorite photos on Photobucket. Can also search for photos from Photobucket. Useful app for those that likes/works with photos a lot.

Name of App: PicFx
Price: Free
Comments: A free app offering only 4 photo effects (B&W, Sepia, Tilt Shift and Polaroid). Very basic I know, but nevertheless fun and useful for those that can't get the Photo Enhancer app by HTC or don't want to pay 1.59 for Thumba Photo Editor.

(From Fulat)
Name of App: Imazing
Price: Free
Comments: Image editor allow you to do crop, rotate, and some minor effect on your image.

Name of App: FotoChop
Price: Free
Comments: A fun and silly app to add stickers (speech bubbles, mustaches, hats, glasses, bunny ears, etc) to images. Stickers are loaded
online, but limited choices for now. Stickers can be resized and rotated to fit. Not a bad app for a bit of fun with photos.

Name of App: Thumba Cam
Price: Free
Comments: Made by the same developer of the excellent Thumba Photo Editor app, this is an app that allows you to directly add 5 different effects (auto, hdr, lomo, 70's, 3d and soften) to your pics taken with the camera.

However, there are reports that some users do not get the Live Tile and Toast features and I am one of them. Hope the dev will look into that in the next update. No multiple accounts support. Have to log out to log in to another Twitter account. In any case, it looks and feels better than the official Twitter app.

Name of App: Messenger by Miyowa
Price: Free
Comments: Although I still don't get why WP7 has no native LIVE Messenger support/app, this is a decent alternative until the official one comes out. Latest update can run under lock i believe (i hardly use it on my phone). What else can I say about it? All the usual Live Messenger stuff is all there. I think.

Name of App: Seesmic
Price: Free
Comments: Another alternative to the offical Twitter App. Supports multiple accounts, but not simultaneously. No push notifications. Latest update has resume support so its a lot better now. Still prefer Beezz though.

Tried to register my Malaysian CC as suggested (i.e. Singapore address) but failed...tried a few banks: AmISlamic Bank, Direct Access, Standard Chartered, HSBC Amanah and Maybank. Even tried missus card (Citibank) still could not get through.

Can you share the steps or details on how you did it?

I had no problems registering my Malaysian CC with a fresh Singapore hotmail account for Xbox LIVE. I am suspecting that your LIVE hotmail account you used is not a Singapore account originally. So even changing the country/region doesn't work. Correct?

Added on December 27, 2010, 9:13 pmThanks guys for chipping in. Will update them all in and credit to you guys respectively.

@marauderz oi use la my template. Easier for me to copy and paste ma.

is the marketplace down? i seem can not buy anything from there.

I'd love to, but it's too troublesome to get the price lar!

Added on December 27, 2010, 10:29 pmhmm... down as in, you don't see the BUY button? That's usually because the network is too slow and that info cant be downloaded.



This post has been edited by marauderz: Dec 27 2010, 10:29 PM

use wifi faster le
stick to one thread la so many thread le

i registered a new 'live.com' address. and registered a new singapore xbox live account. when tried to register CC, it said not authorised, plz key-in a new CC.

and you know what..my missus CC have been charged RM4.82 by MS Billing even though I didn't completely register any CC. weird!!!

did you use those "unauthorised card" purchase anything online before? normally if you wanna register for online payment using your credit card. you have to apply from bank first.

I have no problem in the past when purchasing from amazon, itunes or any other online retailers. I never need to apply first as well. just now received call from std chartered, asking bout my purchase from MS (??). how that can be when i could not even get to register.

They'll do something like a request charge to see if the card is valid or not. Its reversed after they finish their checking one. You won't see it in ur monthly bill

nah... i transfer my xbox acc from State back to Singapore. after that i can go in Marketplace but i'm not be able to try or buy any thing from there.

when i wake up this morning. it works again. so i guess the transfer need some hrs to complete.

tested with transfer account back to singapore with marketplace purchase Thumba Photos Editor working.

Anyone managed to get the artist backgrounds working in Zune/music player on their WP7 phones? This guide is good! Managed to purchase apps using this method, but lost the full functionality of the zune desktop software.

If your account is linked to Singapore, you lose Zune Music Store functions.

Yeah.
I created a SG live account for my WP7. Everything is great except for the Zune background image. Sighs... tempted to go back to the US Zune account, unless there's a way to run both accounts on the same phone.

thakz for the share bro

How about this?
http://www.thewindowsclub.com/access-windo...etplace-enabler

That works when the country is selectable in the program. Malaysia is not in the credit card list.

I got the artist background images working on my Zune.

My Zune account region/language setting is set to the US but its linked to the SG Live account. I obviously can't buy anything from the marketplace or even link my Zune to my LIVE account because of the incorrect region, but downloading songs info and art is not a problem. I think you can change the settings from www.zune.net or live.zune.net

the zune account region/language is set to US, but the account info is in SG. I can't receive any info/art at all.

Hi all,

Just wondering whether WP7 able to input Chinese character (handwriting, pinyin) and Japanese as well?

Thanks.

thurtin: your zune account is the same as your Live ID for the phone right? I still can't get the backgrounds working even though the region/language settings in zune.net is at US/International.

Amazon Kindle
The Kindle app is optimized for the Windows Phone, giving users the ability to read Kindle books on a beautiful, easy-to-use interface.

*Haven't try this yet. Not sure if we can buy the e-book from Amazon and download it to our WP7 phone. Anyone have tried this?

not available in SG marketplace. I wish i could try it out too.

Yeah, I just realize that.

I think the Kindle app will only be available in countries where the Kindle is available

Kindle is part of Amazon right? I think we should try to write to them directly.

You can try, but I'm pretty sure their response will be the same.

Thank you for your interest in the Amazon Kindle,

Unfortunately the Kindle is not available in your Country.

We are working hard to constantly adding new countries to our supported country list, but we cannot tell you when your country will be supported.

Once again, thank you for your interest in the Amazon Kindle.

lol. you should be in customer service. this is the perfect SOP reply for pesky customers.

Inevitably, as Windows Phone 7 takes off, so will the number of apps available for it. One of the biggest uses of our current mobile devices is to store books and audio books. However, the apps currently available for WP7 are rather limited in what they can do. With this in mind, XDA member dbroome has released an app to bookmark the audio book that you are listening to in case you need to stop. It displays all your mp3 eBooks and will certainly help you keep up with them if you like jumping from book to book (listening to several books at the same time). The app is a rather useful addition for Microsoft’s brand new OS’ arsenal.

Please download it from the Zune marketplace and leave some feedback for the dev if you find any bugs with it.

I was frustrated by the lack of built-in support for mp3-based audiobooks so I wrote this app. It lets you load as many audiobooks as you have memory for. It remembers where you are in each file of each book (and of course, which file you are listening to for each book).

It has standard transport keys plus the ability to enter HH:MM:SS to skip directly to.

You can find more information in the application thread.

I'm still kind of reluctant to install anything in marketplace lol.
Only Xbox Live Games, and some General Apps like Facebook/FourSquare/Adobe I will install. Kinda don't like to have 3rd party software in my phone so soon. XD

well, found a ifag alike watsup free texting app at market place using data/wifi connection. someone gotta try it out or all register and post each individual login name here for some fun.

before I forgot. the app name is tinytext

but the tiny text can only use among the wp7 users

well, u dont have to worrry too much. Cause all the apps are self contained, it can't make your phone unstable or anything.

at the moment apps wont harm the phone. wait till MS release the next SDK or something that allow developers to penetrate deeper into the phone. that time, it might cause the phone to lag.

thanx!! ur credit card guide works for me..

Apps I use:
Apict
Facebook
IGN
IMDb
Photo Enhancer (HTC App)
Shazam
textContact Light

Games:
Fruit Ninja
Flowerz
Twin Blades
Xbox Live Extras
Byebye Brain
Dino Parade

Game Name : Zombies!!!

Turn based board game for escaping the zombie hordes, full version has very good tombstone capability (means you dont lose much progress if your device sleep, u press start etc. etc.)

Anyone can recommend a screenshot app?

There is no screenshot app or capability yet.

Guys, I've updated the list but not all of the recommendations. Please try to submit in the simple template provided, otherwise i can't be arsed to do it myself.

Who are facing some problem with me, pls help.... I have installed numerous applications and games and all have installed with relative ease. However, when I try to install the Assassin's Creed game, it begins to install, after it was complete install… I try to find out the game at x-box live but unable to find it out than I try to re-install and such massage come out *attention required. Tap here.* When I tap on it, it says I must connect to a Wi-Fi network or connect my phone to a PC to complete the download.

Here's the problem, I started the download from the app store on my Zune so therefore it was plugged into my computer when I tried to install it. Now when I plug it back into my PC, I try to hit the purchase button the app again and it simply says 'already installed ' and I see no obvious option given to 'reinstall' or 'check installation progress' on the Zune software on the computer.

The installation has also not progressed when I have simply tried to retry while on Wi-Fi, it says pending, then stops and gives the same message.

Any suggestions? Thank you

yeah i did...i've been using my mbb debit card for many online transactions edi... >.<

Doesn't work for me...Have tried using 3 cc from different banks & yet can't register. I'm getting very fed-up with WP7 oredi.

Unable to actually buy stuff officially from the marketplace is not just a WP7 problem, Android is the same, and so was the iPhone until they came over here officailly.

Can’t wait for Angry Birds to come out on Windows Phone 7? Here’s your chance to have a similar gaming experience on your new device. XDA member jabberworx told us that Chicks’n'Vixens is ready to download from the market as a free beta. The game falls pretty much in line with what millions are familiar with from Angry Birds: you fire one animal (in this case chickens) into other animals (foxes) and attempt to use each bird’s “special powers” to knock down a tower structure and progress through levels.

Updated to Beta 0.51
Changes:

Game works in all regions (bug in float parsing where ‘.’ was ignored has been resolved)
Added new levels
The foxes now fall to the ground when they die, they roll when they are pushed around
Physics engine has been tightened up and various optimizations made (some levels play slightly differently).
Level 4 made near impossible, if you can beat it you are a master.

Type of App: Games
Name of App: MonsterUp

Comments: It's essentially doodle jump with a new paintjob with extra characters + individual power ups. I was surprised this game wasn't really advertised well as the gameplay is top notch and the animations just beat majority of the games currently on the marketplace.

I highly recommend to skip lunch and get this game instead.

Hi,

I have a question. I've actually link my credit card to Australian's address. But I still yet to receive any billing transaction done to my credit card account. Anyone know how long does ti takes to process?

I think MS will bill once a week.

Well, I read somewhere that you'd have a better chance of doing this if your card is MasterCard, instead of Visa. It was from an article on how to buy stuff from zune marketplace, and this is before Wp7.

Any news said that when will Malaysia get our own Marketplace

Yea. You're right. My payment are cleared now. Thanks!

By the way, does anyone can tell that Xbox games has an expiry date since the date of purchasing or its once time purchase for life?

Games don't expire, doesn't mean the service wouldn't though. But that's a risk with all digital delivery media

Should be for life, but don't uninstall them in case app/game is taken out of the marketplace. for example the recent game twin blades was removed because it received a Mature rating or something like that for another platform.

Yeah! Thanks for replying. I've tried. Once you download, the software will be eventually reside in your phone. You can unistall it. Just ensure the game doesn't get remove from Marketplace. You'll be able to install back again. : )

I've another issue. : ) It seems I can't connect my Windows Live ID to Zune. It says country code issue. Anyone know how to resolve?

If you're getting the same error as mentioned here

just follow the instructions and change your PC's region whenever you need to start zune

Yea! I'm getting that error. Means if my credit card was tie to the Australian address means I've to change my region to Australia?

Or whenever I wanna start my Zune I've to change my region to US?

EDIT: *I've got it! Thanks a lot! I change my region to Australia.* Thanks pal!

Anyone can advise how to you all download some of the games that hits 100mb or more? It would takes a long time to download with our data connection.

Is there any alternative way to download w/o Wi-Fi?

Photography, much like any other art form is a prime subject for plagiarism. Pictures can be easily found on the web and used for whatever purpose you may want. Because of this, there are thousands of fantastic pictures floating around the internet with no indication of who took them originally. However, there are methods for identifying your shots and a very popular and widely used one is to place a semi-transparent image with your name or any kind of description that would link it back to you. This is known as a “watermark”. XDA member andre_alberto just came up with a great app to add your very own watermark on any picture that you take using your Windows Phone 7 device. The app will save you time as you will not have to deal with Photoshop, GIMP, Paint, or whatever program you use to add this. This is a great tool to ensure that whatever you post on the internet can be credited back to you in case it does become a hit.

Price = $0.00

Dude, I CAN'T change my country from United States to Singapore
