How to Remove Email accounts from Windows Phone 7

Tutorial August 9th, 2011 / No Comments

Removing email accounts from Windows Phone 7 is really easy. We’ve been asked to provide a tutorial on the same via email. Here is a step by step guide to remove multiple email accounts from WP. WP7 lets you add multiple email accounts. However it doesn’t give us a facility to group them which makes it difficult to organize all the email address. You can add Windows Live, Yahoo! Mail, Gmail or custom email address and Outlook email account very easily. There is also an option to add POP and IMAP email account through “other account” option.

If you notice carefully, then you will realize that it creates a separate icon/option/tile to access different email accounts easily (Tile can be easily removed from home by constantly pressing the tile(s) for 2-3 second). You can delete/uninstall application in similar fashion. Holding app icon for 2-3 brings a pop up menu to uninstall the app/game. You can remove email account using similar fashion. However you’ve to access them through settings->email & accounts option.

Download Windows Phone 7 Apps (XAP) Directly to PC without Zune or Windows Live ID

Homebrew August 8th, 2011 / 4 Comments

As you all are probably aware, Windows Phone 7 marketplace is not available in all countries. Recently, we’ve purchased HTC Mozart 7 in India but we couldn’t get apps on our newest WP7 device as WP marketplace is not available in India. However, there are few methods which lets you access marketplace even if it is not available in your country (hint: change your country on WP7). There were many requests to provide a review of newly launched WP7 apps on our blog. We were bit skeptic to try out all the products at first hand.

There was a need of getting XAP files directly to our PC without the interference of Zune. As marketplace was not active in India there was not way to download wp7 app via Zune. We had to download the app directly via marketplace app available on the phone. Neither Zune nor marketplace lets you download XAP file to your computer. Luckily, there is an app that lets you download Windows Phone 7 apps (XAP files) directly on PC without need of Zune. XGENO- Windows Market Place lets you search and download free WP7 apps from the marketplace. You can download XAP file from this app and then transfer it to your device.

XGENO lets you search only free app from the marketplace. You can download XAP files directly to your PC.  This tiny application comes in handy especially when you are not able to get Windows Phone apps directly from marketplace due to one or another reason.  XGENO comes with a WP7 Metro UI. It searches for the appropriate apps and sorts the result according to the rating.  You can also set the path where you want the app to store. There are few beta apps available for download from XDA developers forum as well (we’ll show you how to test such products on Windows Phone 7 Emulator before trying it directly on your handset).

Setting option let you specify the download location. There is no need to install the application. You can directly run the application from the ZIP archive. You can also specify proxy server to download the files anonymously.  Do not let the application fool you. It freezes when you start downloading the app, however it downloads the application in the background. Unfortunately, you can not download multiple applications simultaneously.
