[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fuzzmo:
To be honest in that perverse way MS has BENEFITTED from 'Piracy' etc. throughout their history. Take Office for example - way back in the day Lotus and Wordperfect were the dominant market forces. MS were trying to force their way into the market wth their Office products. In the end they blew away the competition - how? Because their media had no copy protection - thus Office Workers ended up getting copies from work to put on their home PCs to carry on extra work at home. The others had copy protection.

MS turned a blind eye to this because they knew that the more people had Office, the more they would want it in their workplace - so much so that in the end how many companies use those products anymore? Now that they are the dominant force, Piracy is an issue.

It is the same with sites like XDA-Devs. The mobile phone market is huge and will get bigger even in these times. WinMo is still a small part of that market - Nokia and Symbian undoubtably have an edge here. However people are becoming more savvy about mobiles and want more from them which is where MS, RIM, and Apple come in (with an improving Symbian).

However if all the consumers had to rely on was 'Stock' ROMs and buggy WinMo (esp. when consumers will compare it to the iPhone etc.) then WinMo would have nowehere near the amount of consumers, and would die a slow death. However thanks to XDA-Devs (and sites like these) we can buy these phones confident that some super talented Cook will provide us with a ROM that will get us the full experience of these devices. Hence we will then buy the next generation, then the next etc.

MS and HTC know this - hence why they can't 'live without 'em'. No point cutting off your nose to spite your face eh?.... :)

Hi i have a brand new unlocked phone but when i insert my simcard phone is booting type the sim pincode, starts up and it says no service.

Ive tried 3 different network providers (prepaid)

Sometimes when im outside i get a signal but its very poor then when im going into a building the signal gets lost and again no service.

Im realy stuck with it cant find answers, tried everything factory reset everytime with a new simcard. I have the latest update. Phone is US version.

Thanks in advance...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coreburner:
Had the same problem with my wifes phone, it worked for about a month then the radio would bounce between 1 bar at boot then fade to nothing, Ive flashed 3 different radios version to it still no go. Ended up sending it in for a replacement only to find out that HTC had a small batch of bad radios in a few phones. Tmobile just swapped it no questions asked.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nightshop:
Should I try to flash with other radio versions and how can i do it? I live in Belgium and got the G1 from Ebay so i dont think i can return the phone. The Seller says that the phone was 100% ok... So nothing I can do about it... :(
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petertheface:
My advice is to check whether the phone has been blacklisted. It's what happened to mine - bought on ebay, was working fine for a week, then just got no service. Phoned up T-Mobile and they told me that it'd been reported stolen, so I then spent a couple of days fighting with the ebay seller, but it's working fine again now.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nightshop:
How can i check that on T-Mobile site? Im not familiar with T-mobile....

Thanks
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petertheface:
As far as I know you can't do it online, so just phone them. Shouldn't take too long, just make sure you have your IMEI number ready (which is underneath the battery or can be found by typing *#06# into the dialer).

Edit: Or, the IMEI number can be found in Settings -> About phone -> Status
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nightshop:
Called T-Mobile nothing they can do about it... I said if i give you the IMEI... Answer nothing we can do about it... 13min cal from Belgium to US hmmm how much will that cost :(

Now I really dont have a clue what to do...

Someone else any ideas?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cigar3tte:
I'm not sure how all this works, but if you're in Belgium, shouldn't you be calling TMobile Europe or something? Can a U.S. blacklisted phone not be able to get service with other providers?

[General Questions and Answers] harddisk_wp:
Hi all,

I (MiTAC Mio A702, some CSR BT/WLAN combo chip) and some friend (either Diamond or Touch HD, I dunno which one he has now, he changes every week or so) have some strange wlan problems... as soon as the WLAN password contains something other than 0-9 (encryption method doesn't change anything), then only ~1 out of 20 attempts to connect works. The FritzBox (it is the only router we have with logs) says "authentication failed", the PDAs simply change the icon of the wlan to unavailable in Wireless manager.

Any idea why this is so, how we can debug it and especially, any easier to use app for managing WLANs than crappy WM6's Wireless manager?

Thanks,

hey all,

in my MiTAC Mio A702 there is some hi-power led. Unfortunately, the builtin "Flashlight" app allows only 11sec of light, then the LED has to be enabled again by pressing some HW button 6 seconds long.

While studying the camera drivers, I stumbled upon the function "mmpDscSetLedMode" in "mmp_dsc.dll" in the ROM. IDA disassembly is here: http://asm.pastebin.com/d29d8a543

What does this code do, and can I call it from an external VB.NET application?

[Off-topic] GnatGoSplat:
I have a robot lawnmower, Friendly Robotics Robomow RL500. It's like a Roomba for the lawn, you set it loose and let it go. Problem is, it's not very smart. For one, it gets stuck on occasion, requiring me to check on it regularly and free it if it gets stuck. It also needs to be driven out onto the lawn and turned on, and when it's done I need to go find it and drive it back. Worst of all, there is a part of the lawn that is too narrow for it to function automatically so I have to manually mow that part with an annoying wired controller, and it is much slower than a regular mower so walking behind it at a snail's pace holding a wired controller is very boring.

My idea is to make it so I can put a camera on it so I can drive it via Wifi from the comfort of my home. Somehow I will need to be able to stream video over Wifi and send commands to the robot as well, and whatever device receiving the commands will need to be able to activate the switches on the wired controller.

2 ways I thought of to do this:

1. Use one of my extra Windows Mobile phones as a "brain". They all already have a camera and Wifi. All I would need is the software to stream video over Wifi and a control program to control the robot. Microsoft has a Robotics Studio that may help me to write my own program using VS.NET. None of my phones have a serial port or USB Host controller, so I was thinking maybe I can use a Bluetooth-to-UART board and connect that to some kind of controller to activate the switches on the control panel.

2. Use a WRT54G and run Linux. This will probably cost more because I don't have a 54G. I will also need to buy some kind of camera for it, like a networked camera. It has an RS232 port that can be used to connect to some kind of controller to activate switches on the control panel. I KNOW this solution has been done, because there is a video out there of a 54G-controlled R/C car being controlled via Wifi and streaming video back. I would probably need to write my own program in C in Linux (I don't know C), unless I can find the link to that RC car again and see if that guy will share his source.

Any thoughts on which way is the best way to go?

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tangotango:
Hello, I think there are some mis-communication of facts from HTC. The HTC Touch HD does have 3G chipsets config for Asia/Europe of 900/2100 MHz. It does not have the hardware configured for the AT&T 3G network (850/1900) or TMO 3G network (1700). Therefore, there is no way (that I am away of) to reconfig the hardware radio chip to meet US requirements. Sorry about this bad news.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MeWhoElse:
Unless you have the Telstra Touch HD (with NextG support) which of course uses 850MHz and 2100MHz for Telstra's 3G (UMTS) service... Something HTC forgot to mention it seems!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] homer285:
It is possible the HD does not pass US Standards certification

HTC cannot state that one region or countries device or frequency will work with another country/region for legal reasons.

This thread is completely inappropriate and has absolutely nothing to do with the development of ROM's!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] OrionBG:
There was a BAN for Qualcomm powered devices in the US not long ago if you remember! The HD development was started before this BAN was lifted so I think that this is the main reason why there are no US frequences. Now HTC have new models to work on and why should they care for an "OLD" device?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] hr00st:
People WE CAN TRY!!!! hope dies last.

Probably we can use somehow radio from FUSE because it is also old model, and by the way G1, HD, FUSE they have approximately same hardware.

Sorry my english.

I'm ready fight to the end!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] NeoS:
AFAIK the Blackstone uses the MSM7201A chipset, like the Raphael and G1. Maybe you could use Raph's Radio. Just flash it and see. :P
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bjrmd:
I do have the Telstra 850 version that is working fine on ATT 3G(850 band). Using several of the available ROMs in this forum there has been no change in either gain or loss of this band. From some other threads, I think just using the radio ROM from this device has not been successful. So, either a subtle hardware change or a hard coded setting may be the difference between the two.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] hr00st:
Please tell me honestly is that really possible? I can try to flash it with out patching, and it won't kill my phone. :confused::)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] hr00st:
I downloaded AT&T radio from FUSE & tryed to flash it... but i faced a small problem, i need to sign RAPH's NBH for BLACKSTONE. I tryed to change string RAPH**** to BLAC**** in hex but flashing failed due to RSA_Failure... If someone of GURUS could explain me how to deal with NBH files (how to edit & sign) probably i could try to patch raphaels radio.

Sorry my english.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ryahia:
I am in the same boat...

I am in the same boat...I have great respect for this forum and the developers here and I would be willing to patch or flash my phone to try to get the AT&T 3G to work. Just tell me what to do. I am in the USA.

I bought this phone thinking it was 3G and have been greatly disappointed with this sad problem that I am sure can be fixed if someone took time to do it. I would gladly donate. This is the only reason I am considering selling the phone after 1 month of usage...

By the way, PM if you are interested.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] stepw:
You need a security unlocked HD to flash non-HD radios or HTC's HD private RSA key to re-sign it. ATM there is no publicly known way to do a security unlock on Blackstone. Even if there was, there isn't any software limitation in radio ROM that prevents US 3G from working on Blackstone, so flashing a Fuze radio ROM won't change a thing.

This is a hardware limitation (just like with other recent HTC devices - Diamond, Raphael, Kovsky/X1); there are no amplifiers for NA 3G frequences in EMEA units. Period.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] hr00st:
Thank you very much for clear answer, but why then HTC says that there is no hardware difference between HD & Telstra HD?

HTC Touch HD - US 3G Radio Configuration - Call With AT&T Tech support

Can AT&T Force certain IMEI #'s into 2G or 3G?

Here is a brief Outline of my conversation with an AT&T Tech support official. (who had a rather sexy voice by the way...)

ME) I explained that I had an AT&T 3G Tilt, and that I had bought a Touch HD, and explained I transferred my SIM and that I only got EDGE 2G.

ME) I asked her what settings I needed to configure in order to get 3G?

AT&T TECHNICIAN) I would be happy to help you, I'll need the IMEI #:

ME) I gave it to her

AT&T TECHNICIAN) I have this Phone in our System to only receive 2G.

ME) Clearly my phone can receive 3G, I have the settings in my Bands frequencies the phone is picking up of (UMTS(850+1900)+GSM(850+1900))

ME) Is this your 3G frequencies?

AT&T TECHNICIAN) Yes.

ME) So if my Phone can detect these frequencies, and I have a 3G SIM card in, why isn't my phone on the 3G network?

AT&T TECHNICIAN) It should be. Sir the Phone was not supplied by us, so we cannot be sure what is causing your phone's issues.

AT&T TECHNICIAN) Let's jump into your phones connection settings

---------- She had me switch just about every setting in the phone's connection settings and in the Phone's properties, with no success of 3G ever working.

But I think the importance of all this was that, she had no idea why the phone didn't work, but was under the impression from the information I gave her and the information she had the phone should have worked?

Which makes you wonder if, it was all a ploy on the part of AT&T, or does the phone plain simply non work in 3G or....

Is it all a result of the IMEI# being blocked at the core to only receive 2G.

Can we muffle the IMEI# to look like another device like the Tilt or the FUZE?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DRTigerlilly:
ok seriously this thread is just descending into pure ridiculousness. The t8282 cannot do US 3g PERIOD. It has nothing to do w/ ATT or any other gsm company outside of the bands they use, which is not going to change.

Your HD DOES NOT have the radio functionality to connect to US 3g, if you want one that can connect to @ least the 850mhz spectrum, which only some providers use in limited areas GET A T8285. :rolleyes:
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Darkriderdesign:
Upon receiving word of descending into ridiculousness... I'll stop posting Conversation threads from HTC and AT&T - again I thought I was helping the cause... The Touch HD is still a great phone, 3G would be nice but not needed. I still have my Tilt...ahhh my good ole' Tilt
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] stepw:
IMO, there's no such thing as a wrong/ridiculous opinion, anyone is free to share his thoughts and views. But it's wise to give up when it's time to give up...

Apart from a few ICs (frequency amplifiers), radio hardware is the same in T8282 and T8285. Your peers at HTC and AT&T may not be aware of the hardware differences/limitations. Unless you communicate with someone at engineering level, you won't know the truth, it's always a speculation to a certain degree.
