Guys I have a T8282 and my new T8285. 3G only works on the T8285 even with the the telstra rom on the T8282 I got nothing. I bought the T8285 and come to find out at my home I dont get the 850mhz spectrum. I can tell you that when I get in a 3G area only the T8285 gets 3G. Hope this helps. It is a hardware issue.

HTC TOUCH HD - TELSTRA WORKS on US AT&T 3G

I broke down - sold the HTC Touch HD T8282 and bought a HTC Touch HD T8285 here are the results below. I opened the box, put my SIM from the T8282 and put it in the T8285 and..... AT&T US 3G.... You betcha....

:)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] noelito:
thats wonderful news

I am very close to selling my t8282 to get the t8285 telstra, pictures don't lie for the most part,so upon seeing those shots i was floored, i miss 3g and i sure as hell am not getting the iphone back (100% happy i sold it) even after jailbreaking it. i did a search for the telstra version on ebay but couldnt find many auctions, does everyone think there wont be a firmware or software packet to get 3g on the t8282? and also has any other us touch hd users noticed the "G" symbol occasionally appear? I noticed in the details it says gprs AND 3g and i was sending and recieving emails and it went at fast pace rather than the snail like edge network.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DRTigerlilly:
it works if you're in an area that uses 850mhz band for 3g.

do you know offhand if las vegas has 850mz?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Darkriderdesign:
AT&T 850 mhz

AT&T 3G - whatever this means... they dont' give a solid answer what mhz.

3g in las vegas

ok i shoujld be covered, so how much was your hd?

mine was a flat 700 and where did you get yours and is all the same software bundled with it like the t8282, i just did mountain of changes on my hd and am not looking forward to doing it all over again

i have:

disabled conversation threading sms

sirius wm5

music id

iphone wm player skin

net compactframework for sirius wm5

freed the g sensor

a variety of on screen keyboards

ilauncher

its exhausting
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DRTigerlilly:
use spb backup to backup your current rom, i wouldn't expect any problems after extracting it to your t8285 afterward. Just put the same rom on it after uspl.

I have no idea if las vegas uses that band, you could try calling i guess...or i vaguely remember it being mentioned on the site that there was some field test you could do to determine. Google Field test on the site.

Gateau Noël

the Telstra was $800 and I bought it off EBay through a place called www.personaldigital.com.au. The people there are really cool, and shipped the phone with in two days.

The Telstra's Touch Flow is pretty ugly but no uglier than the stock Touch Flow that came with the T8282.

I planned to Flash the ROM with Dutty's 2.2 but for some reason I Can't get Olinex Hard-SPL to work?

hope that helps
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DRTigerlilly:
why hardspl? try using the uspl.

telstra hd

darkrider

ok that sounds cool, i dont really use the touch flo, its cute but a gimmick, i turn it off, man i would really like to get 3g, it really is a difference, ill wait a few months until the price goes down for that version or unless by some stroke of luck somebody can get 3g on the t8282 with software, so right now you are honestly using 3g on your touch hd? how much better is it? whats it like using web pages and emails and other things with 3g?

this phone is so amazing, besides the telstra version, i really dont see myself buying a new phone in maybe a year, with that giant screen, high quality resolution, and call, home, back and hang up button that i love ( i absolutely couldnt stand that single ugly round home button on the iphone*) and even though winmo 6.5 is only a minor improvement i love its new layout, i just cant see anything getting better than this phone for awhile lol

*do you have any idea how many times i was stuck on my iphone waiting for it to change to the next thing i wanted it to do? it was simplyfrozen and i would press that god awful home button over and over again, there isnt even a real reset button for that phone,
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Darkriderdesign:
What's the difference? I'm trying to use Olinex HardSPLWrapper_Blackstone.exe it doesn't work on the Telstra?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] noelito:
3g video call

does anyone know if we do get 3g for our touch hd will the video calling work when we call other people who have the touch hd?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DRTigerlilly:
@ Gateau Noel Video calling is only going to work, if your network supports video calling.

G on the phone stands for gprs (which is slower than edge), if your phone is receiving 3g signals you'll see 3g or H icons.

Be aware that 3g speeds can fluctuate its not going to be continuous throughput, its going to depend on the users on your network using the bandwidth.

Even if you get the t8285 you will only get 3g if your company uses the 850mhz band in your area. ATT uses 850 & 1900mhz (depending on areas & markets) T-mobile uses 1700 mhz only.

just b/c its on the map doesn't mean you have good 3g coverage in the real world. DO THE FIELD TEST.

@Darkriderdesign, i just got the impression the uspl was safer, have had no issues w/ it, but them i have an unbranded/unlocked touch hd t8282.

had your phone been cid unlocked? i figure its sim unlocked since you're able to use your att sim.

@ turcomora would that mean you have a t8285 to sell?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] scottshort:
Telstra HD T8285 purchased unlocked?

Hey DarkRider!

Did you purchase your HD off personaldigital site as a locked Telstra phone? And this still worked with your AT&T 3G sim? Or did you get an unlocked version. I ask because I see about a $200 difference on the web for unlocked T8285's [almost $1,000 bucks!]

thanks
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DRTigerlilly:
None of the Telstra phones are locked, and its much cheaper to buy on ebay not even from personaldigital, they're charging about USD$863+ shipping, i've been watching the auctions and most have been going for USD$630+ shipping.

The only seller i've seen stateside is Negri Electronics and they want closer to the price you're quoting USD$960 or something
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] mpf54:
After a lot of looking and watching auctions I got one from Negri. They are a little more than ebay but they come with a option for a extended warranty. You but off ebay and import it you can't get warranty servive from HTC unless you go to Australia. They do not honor worlwide like they say. If you read the warrany they only honor it in the country where it was sold. And these are labeled (Australia). I checked with Square Trade that does the ebay warrantys and they do not offer coverage for any of the ones on Ebay that are being imported.

price aside I love it I have a T8282 that went to another family member and the T8285 did not get 3g out of the box. I am in the Chicago area. The telstra rom was junt and I put Dutty V3 on riight away. Still to get 3g i had to make the band selection to WCDMA otherwise it seems to like to be on edge. I just upgraded to the 1.14.25.24 radio and it seems to be staying on 3g now on auto.

As I teather my laptop the the upgarde in speed was worth it.

Need Help Please!!

I just received my T-8285 from Austrailia. I live in Sacramento California and use ATT 3G. My phone works, but not the internet connection. Are there any settings I need to change to get the 3G and Edge Networks to work? Would really appreciate some help. Thanks.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] SomethingWicked:
Yes, you should go into Start > Settings > Connections and there is an icon for connection wizard or something like that (I haven't used 6.1 for a while now) and let the wizard config your phone for at&t. If I'm not mistaken, at the moment, it's still config'd for telstra... And if that doesn't work, you can call at&t and tell them you have a non-at&t winmo quad-band pda and they will guide you through manually settings... They can't help resolve issues, but they can, and have for me, helped with some config issues... yep...

Or... better yet, install a new upgraded rom like Miri's WM6.5 v9x or Dutty's WM6.1 v3x :D

Cheers! --Jesse

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] SomethingWicked:
I spoke with the supplier that I usually deal with, and he said they're not going to carry the T8285 because it's only UMTS 850, and most big cities are using the 1900 band, so it would be useless for US 3g most of the time anyway.

HELP???? Can anyone support this, or clarify? I was under a different presumption as to how it worked...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DRTigerlilly:
it does 850 & 2100, your supplier is right, BUT att is supposed to be changing their network to 850mhz entirely.

Can't speak for the other GSM operators however.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] rrollens:
Thank You

I figured it out, and it's working perfectly! This is a great phone!
[G1 General] KaiXXV:
Hey y'all. I've been havin' an odd thing happening on my phone as of late. I've been receiving double notifications for my SMS messages. I only use SMS backup and SMS popup. So, I don't think it's either of those as it never happened previously. If it helps any it first started happening when I themed my G1 with Fade to Blue. Anyone with a similar problem? Any solutions?
[G1 General] AroundTheWorld:
Same thing, I'm assuming its SMS popup tho cuz i kwow programs like chomp would also give you a notification along with the standard notification.
[G1 General] Binary100100:
Just turn off one of the notifications for sms or for sms popup.

Hello guys,

I seem to have a problem. While trying to fix a "thing" i deleted the whole activesync folder on my htc diamond. And as a result I can't get my phone synced anymore. Is there any chance I can make it work without changing the firmware and stuff?

Thanks

PS. I've just realized that I have made a post in the wrong category. Sorry

Hi.

I have been with one Abusalza 6.1 Rom since long time ago (don't remember number even) and it was working more or less without problem. But after months of using, the system become very loaded and dialer, you all know, don't respond quickly, so I dare to change to a newest one.

The problem now is that during last week I have flashed most of then (Joshs, Tay, CRC and some other) and no one is able to sync properly with vista.

Sometime it does (with advanced network unticked in USB2PC), the most it don't.

I have try in two diferent Vista computer and the problem is the same. Also I uninstall the whole WMDC and reinstall it to nothing.

Is there something I can do about that? Is there a new rom know to sync withow problems?

Or should I back to my old, and now missed, PDACorner version, who was able to sync inmediattly and even without disabling the advanced network funcionality?

Thanks in advance
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Hissing Syd:
I have found the same problems.

Tai_SW sorted the problem out a few ROMs ago, but even his latest ones have reverted to having Vista sync problems.

Out of desperation, I have reverted to a WM6 ROM, which syncs seamlessly with both my Vista computers.

I tried Josh's WM6.5 ROM, and that synced perfectly! But it had other problems so I am back to my trusty old WM6 ROM.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jfrm:
Going Back

It was PdaCorner v16 which I was using.

And I'm going back to it rigth now. Need Sync for work...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jfrm:
Finally I Installed PDACorner v25, and all beging to work again like a charm.

Even with advanced Network funcionallity on, the connection is nearly inmediate and the WMDC beging syncing in the same machine that yesterday refuse any intent.

Don't know, but maybe Cookers can try to find what has change between this old roms series and newest to solve this problem, or even make a some sort of hybrid merging the old Activesync soft & drivers in new roms. Just thought....

Anyway a big thanks to all good cookers here, without then Windows Mobiles will be a kind of nothing.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] obaz:
same bug here. tried wmdc 6.1 - it not work. advanced network funktionaliti dont wor at all. bluetooth sync work not regulary. tried almost any 2xxx rom - and this bug present. my way (should say try :( ) to fix it - disable adv netw funktionality, change device name to Pocket_PC, softreset - and almost always it sync. want anather sync - do it again. by the way - win xp work whithout any problems.

Hi,

I found the game Micro Counter Strike, but can't play this cool game on my htc touch pro.

I googled a lot but couldn't find counter strike for smartphones.

Now my questions:

Does someone know where I can get this game for my phone?

Do you know other shooters for the HTC touch pro? Maybe with bluetooth multiplayer ?

Greetings

Hello,

i want to connect external wifi antenna to S620 and i need some small help with that.

I dismantled the phone and removed shields from all ICs.

On picture 2 and 3 are Texas Instruments WiFi chips.

On picture 1 is other side of the board, with some metal piece and connector, which might be external wifi connector.

The connector is at opposite side in left bottom corner if you look at image 2, between PASS sticker and mounting hole, at the corner of large PCB ground pole.

Is that metal piece integrated antenna?

That connector is probably not U.FL.

Anyone know what type of connector is that?

Thanks.

[HTC Excalibur] CacoPelao:
if you managed tu connect it, let us know everything...

hope you can do it succesfully!!!
[HTC Excalibur] jointer:
Ok, so i looked at the service manual, the connector is diagnostic (RF measurement) type, with switch.

MM8430-2600RA1

Probably will be in all HTC devices. So i will try to search on the forum, if anybody done this on different phone.

See page 9 and 10 for switch schematics and pinout

http://www.murata.com/catalog/o30e8.pdf

There are "probe" cables for it, but the probe connector is too big to hide under the cover.

I have a friend with experience with SMD, so i asked him if he can desolder it and solder pigtail with RSMA.

Cable can be taken out of the phone by using free space around hole which covers the GSM antenna connector.

I verified that by putting the cable in and closing the phone.

I also tried to hold stripped cable on the connector, with attached directional antenna and i picked up the APs in that direction, so it is working. (and really well)

The problem is that ground poles of the connector maybe connects ground to the power button, so after desoldering, it might not be possible to turn it on...

The safe way can be removing that piece of metal (yes, it is wifi antenna) and solder pigtail instead of it.

It should be simple, because under it are only two "paths" in PCB.

However, the best way is probably to solder it on opposite side, there is a PCB path from Wifi chips, going through the PCB, ending on middle pin of the connector.

But that cannot be done, because there is no way how to get the cable out of the phone.

I still prefer desoldering the connector, because it is placed "before" the antenna, so connecting it there would give a bit better results.

Edit: i searched the forum a bit, but all i found is service manual for Diamond, which seems to have U.FL connector. But i will not buy it because of that, only maybe when it will cost 80 USD like S620. :)

Hi all

Do you switch your HTC Kaiser on first thing in the morning? Are you fed up looking at some naff operator logo. Well, look no further. I've made a custom Splash Image sequence called "Dawn Chorus". It's designed to make you feel that little bit better in the morning. Here goes:

1) Copy "welcomehead.96.png" in "Dawn Chorus.zip" to the \Windows folder on your device. You may need to use a programme like Total Commander PPC.

2) Copy "animated.gif" in "Dawn Chorus.zip" to the "\Windows" folder as above.

3) You MUST have your device HARD SPL'ed. If you don't have Hard SPL installed then don't go any further!

4) Copy KAISIMG.nbh (in Dawn Chorus.zip attached) to the root of your Storage Card.

5) Completely power down your phone using long press power and selecting "Yes".

6) Press and hold the camera button and press the power button. Keep the camera button pressed until you see the tri-colour bootloader screen.

7) When prompted to, press the power button again to start the flash of the new splash screen.

8) Wait for the progress bar to go all the way over. After you have COMPLETED! SUCCESS! or something like that in blue writing on grey background soft-reset the device using the stylus in the hole method.

9) Enjoy your new splash screen and feel better every morning!

10) Delete KAISIMG.nbh from the root of your Storage Card.

Root of SD

Hi

Did you place KAISIMG.nbh on the root of your SD card? Is your device security unlocked? If you can't get it to work, try SSPL. I don't know if that will work but it may be worth a try.

Cheers

andrew-in-woking
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] denco7:
Thanks for the reply.

Yes , I put it on the root of my SD card. Tried moving it with Total Commander, tried cutting and pasting it on to the SDcard. My phone is security unlocked and flashed with 3.29Hard. For some reason when I put the phone into Bootloader, KAISIMG.nhb just won't run. Is there a way to run it off the desktop?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] DaveShaw:
Don't use SSPL.

SSPL is for flashing the SPL (Bootloader) on the device, nothing more.

@denco, you need a FAT32 formatted card, and sometimes some card's just don't work. Just flash it with the RUU.

Dave
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] stylez:
Why noy do it the noramal way with KaiserCustomRUU.exe and the .nhb via active sync?

Sorry i Dave was in the background... "great minds think alike" :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] andrew-in-woking:
Replace existing ROM/Radio image file in update package.

Hi denco7

Yes, take a ROM/Radio update with any update file in and CustomRUU.exe. Rename KAISIMG.nbh to the same as the existng .nbh file in the folder and replace the existing update image file. Then just flash from desktop as usual.

Cheers

thanks for this ^^ normally i only reboot my kaiser if something went wrong :P

so your great startup screens really help me to calm down :)

btw. flashing via sd-card doesn't work for me.

renaming to RUU_signed.nbh and flashing using active synced worked fine
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] DaveShaw:
FYI: The RUU will flash the first file it finds with an NBH extension in it's directory. No need to re-name, just place the RUU and and NBH in the same directory and it will flash :)

Dave
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] denco7:
Thanks, Dave

That was my first thought, that my card wasn't formatted right. Just wanted to make sure running RUU with KAISIMG would be alright.

EDIT: That worked, one question though, is it supposed to be animated ? Either way it is beautiful, thanks for this and the Neon theme, which I use all the time.

Hi,

now I have the Official Holiday Firmwae 1.1 with Holiday Bootloader on my G1.

But I dont know if I should switch to ADP1.1 from HTC with Engeneer Bootloader.

Did anybody know if Holiday Phones has OTA Updates? Did you think Latitude comes for ADP1.1?

I develop for G1 but I can test the Software on my Holiday too. But I dont know if Google check the Imei sometime an I didnt get any update anymore...

Any big diffrents between the both versions?

Thx.
[G1 Android Development] indiekid97:
No Need

I had 1.1 Holiday installed, and it does NOT change your bootloader. The bootloader is not effected by firmware updates, if you have an ADP, you'll always have your Eng Bootloader (Unless you flash the HardSPL.)

As far as differences, it was my understanding that the updates were the same, the reason the Holiday version is called "Holiday" is because it was given out early to the Google Dev's as a Holiday bonus. The HTC version is just the official version as the Holiday versions were leaked.

In short, don't update, its the same firmware. :)
