press Send->Menu->Options->Band (tab) and change the Network Type to WCDMA and change the GSM/UMTS band to GSM (1900+850)+UMTS (1900+850) click ok (top right corner). you'll get a message warning you that the data call will be deactivated. Choose Yes and if you're in a strong 850 3G area your phone should immediately connect and display the H symbol. if you're in a weak 850 3G area you're phone won't be able to connect. if you can't connect, press Send->Menu->Options->Band (tab) and change the Network Type to Auto and click ok. you'll get the same message warning you that the data call will be deactivated. choose Yes and your phone will reestablish a connection to the celluar network. my current setting is Network Type set to Auto and GSM/UMTS band to GSM (1900+850)+UMTS (1900+850). with this setting i swap between H and EDGE in my house, but as soon as i go outside i get the H or 3G.

Ah... My box is all black though, no markings at all, except the HTC logo embossed on it.
[Touch HD General] dfkd:
I've been trying this on my T8282 and the result has been interesting.

I'm on Rogers in Canada (Toronto).

If I set it to Network Type WCDMA and the band to UMTS(850+1900)+GSM(850+1900), when I hit OK I get the expected message and click yes. the phone then goes into a strange search like mode where the radio indicator switches between searching and disconnected for about 30 seconds then reconnects only to EDGE.

If I go back into the settings after that, I find that the settings have defaulted themselves back to Network Type Auto even though I set it to WCDMA and the UMTS remains where I left it.

Can anyone else confirm this behavior on the UK Blackstone?
[Touch HD General] d.cortez:
my UK HD does the same thing... it can't find a 3G network so (I guess) it defaults to Auto for both settings.

Hi. I didn't know you could CID unlock the HD after just using the Hard SPL.

I thought there would have to be a separate CID unlocker required to unlock it.

Is that true?

I remember HARD spl'ing my Touch diamond and needed a separate CID unlocker to unlock the phone.
[Touch HD General] stpete111:
As soon as mine gets here from Australia (hopefully sometime this week) I'll try it right away and let you know.
[Touch HD General] saiyolang:
I had the same issue happened to me, only when I use dutty rom. especially the latest 3 roms.

It has something to do with the connection setup utility.

So, everytime I use that utility to configure my wap on AT&T.

It always give's me a connection problem only when using youtube.

so, the solution is DO NOT use that utility.

hope this helps.

Maybe a proxy setup which is not really needed...

Order the Telstra T8285

I ordered over the weekend the Telstra T8285. Should get it by Friday here in the US Bay Area. What will i have to do to make this phone work on ATT. Unlock...? Change the ROM...? etc. Once i make the correct updates to the OS, i will hopefully get 3G speeds and access to ATT network. I will also need to install Blackberry connect, which i know is available for the Touch HD...

Thanks

AE
[Touch HD General] saiyolang:
There were no data on the proxy tab.
[Touch HD General] geekbuddha:
Its some issue with Dutty's ROM and HD Tweak. If you install HD Tweak then Youtube player stops working. Do a clean ROM or a hard reset and then try without HD Tweak installed.
[Touch HD General] saiyolang:
Ok, Thanks for the tip. I'll try it.

i paid 771 us dollars for my uk touch hd + 1 year warranty about 3 weeks ago... man i wish i would've waited a little longer :(
[Touch HD General] d.cortez:
just pop your sim in, let it autoconfigure your connection settings and you should be good to go. i assume SanFran area has 850 3G band, otherwise you won't get 3G speed/access.

this is a personal choice. i loaded Dutty's Extreme 2.1. this is not required to get 3G access.

no updates are required to get 3G speed.

can't help you here :-) i'm working in KC this week and they must have a buttload of 850 3G towers. my Telstra HD has had the H indicator showing the entire time i've been here - and it's a solid signal at that. at my home in north dallas, this signal will vasolate from EDGE to 3G to H and back.
[Touch HD General] d.cortez:
you're probably right; i always assumed that HardSPL CID unlocked the device because it was the only way to flash a different ROM.
[Touch HD General] Elashmawi:
Thanks, What does Dutty's Extreme 2.1. provide over the ROM included on the standard phone from Telestra...i have a Tilt and i get continous H in the Bay Area ~ Strong 850. Does Youtube work...
[Touch HD General] x5-rwk:
Not to get off topic but i finally pulled the trigger on my Touch HD, I would not have done it without some hope of 3G. Most of the upper midwest uses the 850 band so I should not have a problem and I believe all new 3G areas are going exclusively 850. Now I just need to decide what to do with my iphone 3G. I will definitly be selling my old treo 750 that I used as my backup phone but I am not sure if I want to sell my iphone just yet. I may use it like an ipod touch. I will hopefully be getting it sometime early next week. I hate waiting......I was impatient as a kid and I am more impatient as an adult.

I noticed that on dealnews.com that the HTC Shift selling on Negri Electronics for $735 with 1 dollar shipping. That is an impressive price. I paid almost $1500 a year ago from clove and they had the best price by far at the time. I still love my shift and used all the info from xda to personalize it for myself. I still can't believe that I paid more for my new Touch HD right now than I can get a HTC Shift for. Impatience never pays.

Here is the link to the shift.

Does anyone know if in the SF Bay Area, AT&T is using 850Mhz or 1900Mhz for its 3G network?

I would hate buying the T8285 and find out it wont get 3G where I leave. anyone is using the T8285 in the SF Bay Area with 3G?
[Touch HD General] turcomora:
Yes my Aussie 3G HD is here:) Only three days from Australia, wow! I just did hard spl and am about to load new rom to get rid of telstra one. Only thing on the back cover is the "T" from Telsra as opposed to the normal htc. I will post my findings asap.
[Touch HD General] theclueless:
the first cities when att rolled out 3g still uses 1900MHz, that being ny, sf, chicago, etc.
[Touch HD General] x5-rwk:
Aren't they converting Chicago over to 850?
[Touch HD General] stpete111:
Got my phone today, and unfortunately getting the same message. I'm using L26's 8.0 ROM. What a pisser, I really used the YouTube program a lot on my Diamond.

If anyone figures this out, please post your findings! I will do the same.
[Touch HD General] d.cortez:
i know the YouTube app works on wifi, so, this implies its a port, proxy or some other issue with at&t's network configuration. if you're on at&t, check the proxy entry in the YouTube registry setting. in mine it has wireless.cingular.com:80.
[Touch HD General] turcomora:
F**k I just got my Aussie HD with the 850 and flashed to a new rom. Did not know that would mess up the 3G. Anyone know where I can get the Telstra Rom again?
[Touch HD General] d.cortez:
did you flash the radio? what ROM did you use? if you didn't flash a Radio ROM you should be ok... you'll just have to manually add your at&t connection settings and you should be good to go.
[Touch HD General] chiraag:
8282 or 8285

my 8282 under setting>phone>band... clearly says UMTS 850+1900+GSM...

also shows UMTS 800+2100

do you think it would work in the US?

or

is this the one i need? telstra version ?

one of my friend in the US wants me to send him the telstra version (see link below T8285)

http://ebay.com
[Touch HD General] d.cortez:
i have the T8282 as well and you (like me) will not be able to get 3G access while in the US.... you will need the Telstra version of the HD to get 3G.
[Touch HD General] turcomora:
Ok so I need help from someone that has an Aussie HD with the 850mhz here in the US and got 3G to work. Can you please tell me what to do. I already tried selecting the bands manually and tried running a cab with all the at&t settings and still nothing. Anyone?
[Touch HD General] geekbuddha:
what happened? what ROM did you flash? What is messed up?
[Touch HD General] geekbuddha:
I am not sure what the problem is but any ROM with HD Tweak installed ahs this issue with You Tube player. I installed Dutty's ROM and you tube player work fine both Wi-Fi and HSDPA. As soon as I installed HD tweak it gives connection error message. Unistall doesnt fix it. Need to do a hard reset and get rid of whatever it is that HD Tweak changes.
[Touch HD General] d.cortez:
HD Tweak is not installed on my device...
[Touch HD General] d.cortez:
go to Settings->Connections Tab->Advanced Network and make sure that "Enable HSDPA only" is selected. if you're prompted to restart the device do so and see if this fixed the problem.
[Touch HD General] stpete111:
It IS installed on my device. But if not on yours, that can't be it.

I just deleted the ATT proxy name from the registry under Youtube... still get the error.

I'll keep working on it...
[Touch HD General] stpete111:
So I had this old cab file laying around from my Diamond days called "YouTube_Vga_by_swtos.cab. I guess it was a separate cab to go with Swtos ROMS. So I installed. The good news is that I was then able to connect over data with no issue. The bad news is that it clearly this particular cab has issues with the video/resolution/graphics of the HD, because it gives you all these messy artifacts around the edge of the screen. I uninstalled it, fired up the original one, and still getting the connection error.

So is there a cab file floating around for the HTC YouTube app that is meant to go with the HD? Maybe that's the answer.
[Touch HD General] stpete111:
Ok, got a workaround for the YouTube connection error issue.

Install the cab found in the link in this post (the mediafire link):

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2978436&postcount=15

And no more connection error. Hopefully it stays this way.
[Touch HD General] markgencorelli:
I thought once you HSPL'd and flashed it, you would be good to go with 3G.

Did you have 3G with the Telstra ROM BEFORE flashing?
[Touch HD General] x5-rwk:
My Aussie Touch HD finally is in the States. Fedex will deliver it Monday. It just kills me that the guy I bought it from sat on it for a day and a half until he got it to Fedex. I purchased it at 7:30 am his time on Tuesday morning and he didn't ship it until 2pm the next day. If he had shipped it out that day I would have had it this weekend. Oh well. I will live. This will be the first time in a while that I will be looking forward to going to work on Monday. I was smart and had it sent there. I am already downloading everything I need to get it ready for US 3G.
[Touch HD General] Elashmawi:
I'm getting mine also on Monday...BTW, what are you downloading to get your HD ready. Can you publish the list and possible links. I want to make sure i also have the best optimized S/W

Thanks

AE
[Touch HD General] markgencorelli:
I HSPL'd this bad boy last nite and flashed Dutty's 2.1 on it...

Got rid of all the Telstra crap and of course 3G blazziiinn' along...

I am L-O-V-I-N' this fine piece of machinery...
[Touch HD General] x5-rwk:
Now your making me jealous. I can't wait till Monday. I will be going to Florida for 10 days starting next weekend so I have to have this fully up and running by then. I will still bring my iphone but only as a last resort if the 3G doesn't work down there.
[Touch HD General] x5-rwk:
Not a lot of programs but I have the latest slingplayer software ready, the HSPL'd and Dutty's 2.1 programs to flash the rom, the fix for youtube that i read about yesterday. I downloaded a cab file for that if I need it. I am also getting all my media ready so that is already on the miniSD card. I will probably order a vehicle mount today from ProClip to replace the one that is holding my iphone. I want to see what is on there before I go wild installing software but I just want the basics that I know I am going to need. I will be on vacation for around 10 days in a week so I will probably be adding more things there.
[Touch HD General] markgencorelli:
Haha, yea, I've had the HD for about a week, but I was a lil apprehensive about all the tweaking since it was my first time with an HTC WinMo phone and I didn't want to screw it up.

But after having done it, it's actually pretty darn easy! :p

It is an amazing phone indeed....!

What is slingplayer and what does it do?

I also need a fix for youtube, where can I get that?
[Touch HD General] turcomora:
Did you guys keep the same radio? I bhave yet to get 3G on mine. I think it's my area though.
[Touch HD General] d.cortez:
@turcomora: i'm using the stock radio... now that i'm back home in north dallas, i'm getting EDGE more than HSDPA. when i drive to stronger 850 3G areas the signal automatically changes to HSDPA. when i was in KC, i had 850 3G everywhere i went.

i'd search at&t 3G maps in Houston to see where 850 3G towers are located and then drivie in that area to see if your signal changes. i recall that dallas (and maybe Houtson) had 1900 3G access before 850 3G. i can understand you wanting to see it on your phone, but be assured that it's there.

for those receiving their devices next week, i'd try using YouTube before flashing to confirm that it does/does not work.
[Touch HD General] Elashmawi:
So do i need to HSPL first before ROM update? I found Ditty's rom v2.1 but where do i get the correct HSPL. Have the proposed You Tube fix.

Can't wait till monday

Thanks for teh help
[Touch HD General] d.cortez:
yes you do! it's in the Touch HD wiki. i would suggest spending time reading the wiki and the HSPL thread. i'd also read the flashing threads (if you haven't already)... while the process is simple, you want to be confident you know what you're doing! :)
[Touch HD General] turcomora:
What do you guys thinking of me putting on the latest wwwe shipped rom? I know that they come with different radios and that I will have to use udk ruu custom.exe to flash back to the stock radio. I have tried almost all of the cooked roms and I think maybe the shipped may be a little more stable.
[Touch HD General] d.cortez:
personally, i wouldn't flash and reflash radios. i'm a lot more niaive when it comes to flahsing radios. if you just want the ROM, extract the nbh file from the RUU file, copy to an SD card and flash from there. dutty 1.7 and 2.1 have been very stable for me.
[Touch HD General] lbarouf:

[Touch HD General] turcomora:
well I am thinking of selling my telstra 3 day old touch hd. I did get 3G once I drove around for a while but I guess I dont have it near my home. I sold my polaris and am thinking of buying another one. Really not to impressed with touch flo 3d and there seems to be more customization options for maila 2d. The hardware of the HD is great but the software I find a little bloated and redundant. Anyone intersted email me at turcomora@hotmail.com. I have everything and just had a custom leather wallet case made for it so I just want to recoup some of my expenses and not make money.

[Touch HD General] d.cortez:
so are you keeping yours now? its just a matter of time before 3G hits the big H...
[Touch HD General] x5-rwk:
My HD came in a little early. I guess Fedex does deliver on Saturday. Anyway I had it updated to duty 2.1 by late Saturday afternoon and have been tweaking it ever since. I took two of my kids to a St. Patty's day parade downtown. The HD took some really nice photos. I got my slingplayer working just fine and have to add some more media over to it. I am still waiting for my 16gb microsd card but that should be in soon. I guess I am lucky that Madison and Milwaukee are both 850 3G networks. We only got 3G in Madison about a year ago and Milwaukee the year before that. We only got it that fast because the 850 spectrum was acquired by Cingular when they bought AT&T blue. They were just sitting on it until the they could get the 3G up here. The regular GSM Edge network here is and has always been on 1900. The 3G phones work a hell of a lot better here than some of the old 2G phones.

This thing makes my iphone look like a toy. I love it.
[Touch HD General] d.cortez:
ok, i'm officially envious of you for living in an all 850 3G city! ;). have you seen your device switch between H and 3G? i've seen it on mine as I move in-and-out of EDGE and HSDPA signals. would be interested in your feedback on battery life as well. thanks!
[Touch HD General] turcomora:
Yeah I think I am going to keep mine. I am happy with it I now that I have a steady rom that is not loaded with all kinds of extras.

Touch HD issue connecting to Telstra UMTS 850

I am in Melbourne and had purchased a Touch HD which came from UK possibly and following are the details of my handset:

ROM Version: 1.14.405.3 (22273) WWE

Rom Date: 10/24/08

Radio Version: 1.09.25.14

Protocol version: 52.49a.25.26U

I think it was shipped with possibly the following ROM and I say so because the radio and protocol versions match the ROM version below:

.

RUU_BlackStone_Orange_UK_1.14.405.3_Radio_52.49a.25.26_1.09.25.14_Ship.exe

ISSUE:

The issue I have noticed is that the phone doesn't connect to UMTS 850 but instead connects to 2100 or GSM TELSTRA (Australian Telecom) frequencies.

Can you please help me solve this issue and tell me if possible, what can I do to make the phone connect to Telstra 850 as that is the real 3G frequency for this service provider.

Thanks for your help.

[Touch HD General] turcomora:
My friend it sounds like you do not have the right hardware. There is nothing you can do to get 3G if you do not have the T8285.
[Touch HD General] x5-rwk:
I have yet to see anything but an "H" or "G and E" but no 3G. I had to drive out to a community about a half hour out of town and when I left the HSDPA area it went to GPRS then to Edge a little while later. Maybe some issues with the hand off between them. Once on Edge it didn't change again until it said "H". There is one local bar that I had lunch at today that is in a 3G dead zone and even Edge/GSM is bad. I have no service a lot of time there. That is probably one of the few places in town that I have a problem with getting signal locally. Our market is pretty well blanketed with 3G/H.

hello everyone,

this one is bizarre,...

i took my htc touch pro out of my pocket yesterday, pushed the power button, and found a silouette black and white figure as the background on the home screen.

when i slide to contacts, messages, email, etc. the image goes away, on the home screen, i cannot get it to go away,... i have checked and unchecked the box labeled, 'use this image as the background,' i've soft reset, i've taken the battery and SIM card out, i even found 'avatar 8' and deleted it, but nothing works and this image is still on my device while in 'touch flo 3D' mode, (when i uncheck the touchFlo 3D box, it disappears also,...)

i have no clue how this happened, but would appreciate any comments on how to make this image go away and get me back to the touchFlo 3D screen,...

thanks,

From time to time I lose my GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/HSDPA connection (when there is no permanent ip traffic) but my System (HTC X7500 with WM6) says it is connected.

With the FdcSoft TaskManager I can see that I totaly lose my IP number/Netmask (no entry).

New reconnection is not possible,only a SoftReset solves the Problem.

Possible my gsm internet provider (Austria A1) disconnect my ip-connection and my htc does not know that it is disconnected.

Is there a solution for this problem.

Is there a way to restart/reset the cellular line part of the ip-connection without soft reset?

If there gives no direct solution does someone know a way that the internet connection (over gsm) will be disconnected automatically after switch off the ppc?

Because if the connection was disconnected - connect to the internet is possible without soft rest.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mbarvian:
the other partitions (XIP, etc.) are in other .raw files. Most likely this is not a stock ROM, but more likely a ROM dump. If you had the other .raw files (most likely only the XIP), then you could do something with it :)
