Guys - anyone here tried using CIMB eDebit MasterCard for registering a Singapore XBOX account?

I tried using the steps on the first post, but the XBOX.com site keeps saying invalid card number.

Aha same problem eh? Mine can work on PayPal, but I noticed that the difference is that my PayPal I set to the correct Malaysian address. I wonder if the system checks the billing address on the card before accepting the card number.


Wondering if the CIMB e.MasterCard that you're referring to is the same as the one where you have that separate account where you need to put money inside before you can use the card to pay for stuff?



I wonder if Windows Phone 8 will be the same as Windows 8? They're apparently making Windows 8 usable on ARM devices, so I wonder if Windows will totally be replacing Windows Phone or if the ARM capabilities are targeted at tablets and not phones.


Also to those of us who're begging Microsoft to take our money, we can start hoping for PayPal to be available for Windows Phone app purchases - looks like XBOX 360 just got the PayPal option.

But since Malaysia still doesn't have XBOX Live service, I wonder if this will make any difference in the end...

I dont think you can, I believe that if the app is limited to some regions only and if you're not from that region, you cant see it.

Yeah I've noticed the problem with push notifications with WhatsApp and also the standalone Facebook application on WP7.5 (Lumia 800). Sometimes whatsapp doesn't update unless I launch the app first and then wlsuddenly I see lots of messages from many ppl. One thing awesome about WhatsApp on WP7.5 though is that the design is GORGEOUS! It follows the WP7.5 design style instead of the ugly design they use on Android.

Facebook app on the other hand doesn't reset the notification count on the live tile at my start screen even when I launch facebook and check all my notifications ==" Even when I unpin and pin bad still doesn't go away... sienz~~

Oh and Twitter app, once you login you cannot see the "Top Tweets" and "Trending" anymore and also once you login you cannot logout... dafuq?? 0_0

The other thing that's not really working for me is theFacebook Chat via the Messaging app. The messaging app makes use of Windows Live Messenger's (WLM) addin capability to link to Facebook. If I chat with my contact who uses Facebook.com it works perfectly and it works like this:
Me <> WLM <> Facebook.com <> My contact ---> win

But if my contact also uses some other app to chat on Facebook, then my contact can see my messages but I can't see her messages. But if I use my pc to go to Facebook.com at the same time, the messages are there...
My contact <> ??? <> Facebook.com <> WLM <> Me ---> fail

BTW, anyone got good (free) game suggestions for WP7.5? I'm currently playing Age of Sorcery, Bug Village, Incredible Circus, Call of Carlos and Brain Cube Reloaded. Totally hooked on Age of Sorcery right now, its a massively multiplayer online strategy game where you choose a side (holy vs. dark) and fight against monsters and other players. It's still in Beta right now so it's still free and the developers take a lot of community suggestions on their Fb page.

Is this the one that has multiple games in one app?

Dear pros... Today I finally managed to add my credit card to my windows phone account... The moment I added, straight kena charged GBP1.00...

GBP I understand cos i set my account as UK, but why need to charge? I didn't buy anything also. :'(

Feel very sakit to see 6 ringgit disappear for no reason, you all kena before when you add your card? Will they refund back?

Singapore account can't see some apps of im not mistaken... Sg account got no charge meh?

As I understand it, there are 2 updates:

#1. Nokia Update (Firmware Update)
- New firmware revision number ends with .122xx
- camera extras
- wifi thethering
- etc.
Settings > (System) > Phone Update


#2. Microsoft Update (OS Update)
- New OS should be 7.10.833
- Windows Phone 7.5 refresh
- OS Version: 7.10.8773.xx
Zune > Settings > Phone > Update

Not sure when Windows Phone 7.8 is coming out...

Same problem - Lumia 800 here too. Phone Update on Settings still says "no update found".

My Live ID is set to UK
My Phone Settings > (System) > region+language > System locale = UK
Settings > (System) > Phone Update = No update

Settings > (System) > region+language > System locale = Malaysia
Settings > (System) > Phone Update = No update

What's this Nodo trick?

Yeah same - doesn't work for me either.

How do we install the CAB file into the phone boss?

Cun

Tango is not the same as the update with camera extras an stuff... as I said in my previous post, there's 2 updates..

Hmm, I need to try the nodo trick from home

Btw bro GothFebrio, what's your Windows Live ID Region and what's the region you set on Settings > (System) > Phone Update?

Eh wait - I don't get this nodo thing

Off Phone Wifi
Off Phone Mobile network
Connect laptop to internet
Launch Zune
Connect Phone to laptop
Search update
--> no update
Disconnect internet
Search update
--> Zune says cannot connect, please connect to internet to check for updates.... waffak???


How now? T_T

Seems like camera extras is only available in US and China at the moment. The rest of the people will only get it later in July...

Discrimination ):
