[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] zacu86:
I was wondering if anyone knew of a radio rom update that would allow the HTC Touch Pro from 3 Mobile Aus to roam on to the Telstra Next G network. They advertise that some newer phones can. Any info in the area would be helpful. Also if you are with 3 Mobile in Aus what rom radio do you use?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Mrjasjam:
Hi there,

This topic has been covered in great detail in other threads in this forum - most of them late last year when the device hit the shelves and the short answer is no it cant be done as the hardware has been found to lack the 850mhz radio.

In a few months it probably wont matter as Vodafone will switch on their new3G 900mhz network extension and i can bet you that 3 users will get access to it. It wont make sense for VHA to operate a national 3G network and only give half of its subscibers access to it whilst the other half roam on its competitors network. Just my opinion and what I would think would make good commercial sense and im sure these guys will be looking to get a return on their investment so I would wait and see what happens. Our touch pro works fine on 3G 900 as I have used it in Optus' 3G 900 zone.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Mrjasjam:
I forgot to mention that the best radio for use on the 3 network is 1.11.25.01. Since flashing this radio I can talk through what used to be dead spots in their network.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] st3v3:
hey thanks you arent wrong about that radio version, i was using an earlier version but upgraded after seeing this post.

Reception is great and it seems to be good on the battery too!
[General Questions and Answers] myknyte:
So,

I have an ATT FUZE phone and service right now and it is SIM Unlocked.

I can also install any ROM (SuperCID?) and I just flashed the rom to ATT's latest Radio/WM6.1 last week.

I'm considering switching to Verizon using the same phone because ATT reception is crap

I'm assuming I can still use the latest ATT Radio (they're all GSM right?) and won't have to reflash the radio to Verizon specific? I should just be able to get a Verizon SIM card and everything else should work straight off the bat no? I know the phone will work with the Verizon Sim.

My concerns are the data -radio wise and speed and reliability with the ATT (specific?) radio.

Thoughts?
[General Questions and Answers] theillustratedlife:
Sprint and Verizon are both CDMA.
[General Questions and Answers] siff:
Well the problem is that AT&T is GSM Verizon is CDMA the phone will NOT work on the Verizon network. The only SIM cards for Verizon is for international calling not domestic and will not work in the states. Sounds like a great plan but it will NOT work. Sorry for the bad news.....
[General Questions and Answers] crobs808:
the Fuze is a GSM phone, thus it will not work on Sprint or Verizon. The CDMA version of the phone is the Sprint Touch Pro (will work on Verizon or Sprint). I would see your Fuze on ebay, and us the money to buy the Sprint Touch Pro then switch to Verizon.

DO NO BUY THE VERIZON TOUCH PRO. IT HAS LESS RAM (192mb vs Sprint's 288mb). The Verizon version of the Touch Pro is a waste of money, so make sure to get the Sprint version - you can use it on either network.

Hi all Expert Cookers, Can supplier a pure windows mobile 6.5 rom?

ROM just contain:

WM6.5 23004 + All X1 R3A OEM Drive.

TQ.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] SyntheticDistortion:
try the SEX1 Pure Upgrade or the new rom from Wild Child.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] hoong2001:
Hi, Thank for reply. SEX1 ROM is PURE but cooked base on OS WM6.5 build 21500. I also tried Wild Child Rom "WCX Series 23004 Pure XPERIA-NCE" this rom is the stable and best rom but bundled alot of Sony Junk application.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] laurence0609:
Try Agent_47 Xperio v2.3
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] SyntheticDistortion:
I STRONGLY recommend you to NOT download Xperio, because in my opinion it makes your everyday use quite hard.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] knudsen81:
Why do you think what?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] SyntheticDistortion:
I tried 2 different version now and both made using my phone pretty hard (maybe it's just me though) I'd rather recommend Valkyrie his other ROm..that one is really stable:D
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] hoong2001:
i also tried Valkyrie Xperio. This rom is stable, but still pre-install alot of applications.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] _digi_:

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Wild Child:
Hoong2001...the rom I did doesnt have a "lot of sony applications"...in your request for a rom...it says 6.5+R3a OEM...only thing really sony is the opera and handango....how much more plain do you want?

[Touch CDMA General] blueblur1986:
I got an HTC Touch from Verizon because I wanted to get away from the clutches of Verizon's lousy software they cripple every phone with and it was the cheapest WinMo phone they sold (I got it for $40.) I got the phone and stuck with my current plan ($10 add-on line on family plan.) I am cheap, my family is cheap, so we have no data plan. We can't afford a data plan, so gettign one is not an option (sorry, maybe someday in the future.)

Is there anything good I can do with my HTC Touch that doesn't require data? Is it worth flashing to a custom firmware? Is it worth installing Android? Or should I just forget it all and stick with the stock configuration?
[Touch CDMA General] derekwilkinson:
Without data, you can text, call, listen to music, take pics, and download movies to the SD card from your computer.
[Touch CDMA General] mfpreach:
Is this guy slow or something. You can do anything that doesn't use data, so the obvious things it can do were mentioned by the previous user. C'mon man, what a waste of time.
[Touch CDMA General] t1mman:
Well, actualy, pretty much anything "Android" is needing data, so stick with WinMo.

And then, you still has a GPS with Camera, music and video capacity. Pretty neat on it's own!
[Touch CDMA General] craig0r:
Well, the GPS isn't much good if you can't download maps.
[Touch CDMA General] t1mman:
You can still use it with TomTom or Garmin.
[Touch CDMA General] blueblur1986:
Ok, Android is out of the Question due to it's heavy reliance of data.

Is there a better Camera or video recording app than the one included? It takes decent photos, but the gallery is pokey. Video recording is lousy quality no matter what setting I put it on (hoping to get QVGA resolution at 15-25fps.)

If I want to use GPS, is TomTom or Garmin better? Which flash file is best for allowing use of GPS without Verizon navigator or some add-on service.

Also, is there any flash that helps to minimize memory card corruption? I have an 8GB microSD card and it seems to corrupt anytime I write files through the phone. I can take it out and use an adapter to load music and movies, but installing apps is usually the death of the card.

Sorry if I sound like a rookie, I have messed with RAZR flashing and game console soft-modding, but not much Windows Mobile experience.
[Touch CDMA General] jadesse:
I am with you brother as VZW BLOWS!!! Unfortunately that is who my work plan & I don’t have a choice. I was going to buy a Touch Pro without a data plan but the pricks wouldn’t activate the phone without a data plan which I still fail to understand.

I believe that NFSFAN’s 6.5 ROM does have a slightly better camera & video camera option. It is the same software & only the registry settings are tweaked.

GPS is whole another issue & be prepared to do a lot of reading. Again you are going to want to use NFSFAN’s ROM for GPS. Just trust me on this one. GPS will work with the stock ROM but you will have to soft reset your phone every time you want to use it. These threads should help you out.

I have not had any memory card issues. I take mine out & put it back in all the time. I could be just that you have a bad card. Some of the Kingston cards do have this issue.

Also note that flashing a custom ROM will void whatever warranty you may have.
[Touch CDMA General] blueblur1986:
I'm not too worried about the warranty, if I was I wouldn't be here!

Anyhow, sounds like I will get the best mileage out of flashing the NFSFAN WinMo 6.5 ROM and then activating the GPS ala instructions found on this forum and a wiki page I found while searching around.

I still need to read up a bit about the flashing process. I flashed a few RAZRs to play around, but they weren't activated and the process for WinMo is quite different.
[Touch CDMA General] lotherius:
For very cheap you can also get a usb bluetooth for your computer, then setup activesync via bluetooth, which will provide you pass-through internet over bluetooth while in range and connected to activesync via bluetooth. That means while in your home (generally in the same room) as a the bluetoothed computer, you will be able to use any internet services on the phone as well.
[Touch CDMA General] blueblur1986:
Is there a guide to setup passthrough internet via bluetooth with ActiveSync?

I already have bluetooth built into my laptop (it's a Macbook Pro, running Windows 7 for for ActiveSync and gaming) so essentially it would be free, but I don't want to accidentally go on Verizon's data (I am on the pay-per-MB plan because I signed up online and couldn't choose no data.)
[Touch CDMA General] neurocutie:
If you're willing to come off of VZW, another possibility is PagePlus. It is prepaid and uses the VZW network. You can stay on it for as little as $4/mo.

As far as data... You can do pay as you go for data, OR, the service gives you free QNC (free slow data), but you have to figure out how to get your device to use QNC (14kbs). People have successfully used PP QNC with Treos, Moto Q's and HTC 6700's.
[Touch CDMA General] radar5:
I believe there is an app that allows you to toggle data usage on your phone so you can avoid getting charged by accidentally using data. I believe it is linked in Codybear's FAQ and you may need a custom ROM for it to work.
[Touch CDMA General] EnterpriseNX01:
I am in the same situation! I purchased the phone 2 months ago and I just wanted a smartphone i.e. something to download programs on to that I don't have to pay for. I really like NFSFAN's winmo 6.5 ROM. The latest version is very good and I would consider flashing. Btw Stock config really sucks at least flash to something aesthetically pleasing! :D
[Touch CDMA General] craig0r:
You mean like Android? :D (No, android isn't flashable yet, but it can be booted from any GPS-enabled WM ROM.)
[Touch CDMA General] TheKartus:
Android is good, I'm running it on my Vogue. I don't have a data plan either... and Android really makes you wish you had one.

A good program for WinMo for those without data plans is SmartTouch. It gathers all sorts of SMS services into one and does all the Google SMS stuff, Facebook, IM, Yellowpages, etc. I have unlimited texts and no data so when I was using WinMo I relied on that a lot.
[Touch CDMA General] blueblur1986:
You guys are gonna kill me, but I don't have texting either. I got to choose the phone and have no say over the plan. I have pay-per-text and pay-per-data. My plan is the standard $10 add-on line for FamilyShare 700min basic plan. We have 5 lines total, so we are pinching pennies hence no text or data.

On a side note, I seem to be having trouble finding a guide/sticky on how to flash NSFAN's 6.5 ROM and setup my phone after the upgrade to use it on Verizon (I know with RAZRs you had to do some crazy crap with reprogramming and Seem edits and such, which I never did get since I only flashed a de-activated phone.) I know it deals with something RUU or RRU or something. Any pointers are appreciated!
[Touch CDMA General] jdm4life:
how can i do this!? my phone only need bluetooth correct? because the sprint vogue "doesn't have" wifi
[Touch CDMA General] HIYinOR:
You need to buy a USB "Bluetooth Dongle" for your PC. This will allow your PC and phone to connect via the PAN (Personal Area Network) capabilites of the Bluetooth stack.

Bluetooth dongles are incredibly cheap thru Amazon. It is a little quirky to set up but works great.

Buy the dongle and install the drivers.

Install ActiveSync.

Turn on the your phones Bluetooth and make it visible.

Go to ActiveSync on your phone and under "menu" select "connect via bluetooth"

Now you may need help figuring out how to make it all connect, but do the above first... then ask questions if you are unable to get it to setup correctly.:)

I have this setup working flawlessly on my Samsung i760...

I will admit I am having trouble getting the Vogue to connect "flawlessly", but that is likely due to the "quirkiness" of this kind of connection.
[Touch CDMA General] jdm4life:
actually i dont have activesync i have mobile device center because i have windows vista [windows 7] they are both the same....could you help me to use it?
[Touch CDMA General] HIYinOR:
If you are on an Americas Choice Family Plan as opposed to a Nationwide Plan you can request a Data Block for this phone line only and you won't need to worry about accidental charges. The only catch is that you will only be able to send PURE txt msgs or SMS, no MMS which includes music and pictures. It is the compromise I was willing to make to get my WinMo phones, but I do miss sending MMS messages.

If you are using WiFi or Bluetooth to connect you are NOT using Verizon's network so you should not see charges from either of these connections.
[Touch CDMA General] HIYinOR:
I am still in the "Dark Ages" of XP so I would not know where to begin, but I think Mobile Device Center is actually better at getting the "quirks to work":D

Then again I have not used it so maybe it is really worse.

The place to start is getting the "Bluetooth Dongle" first... not to be rude but any help before then is pointless.
[Touch CDMA General] grantemsley:
I think data is the reason a lot of us got this particular phone. Without it, you might as well have a regular cell phone.

Bell lets you get $10 unlimited data on it :)
[Touch CDMA General] jdm4life:
i have a bluetooth usb can u tell me if this will work??

http://www.iogear.com/product/GBU221P/

it has pan as a feature so i believe it should work =]
[Touch CDMA General] HIYinOR:
I think it should be fine, but just to let you know I paid less than $10 for mine (with shipping), online through Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/USB-Bluetooth...6I/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1250113335&sr=8-10

***Important side note***

I am continuing to have trouble getting the Vogue/Touch to make the PAN connection??? I have an iPaq and my Samsung that connect just fine but this phone is not cooperating... so be forewarned... I know the process works because of the 2 devices I have working now, but something is not right with my phone possibly, and I am not sure what it is.

Edit

I finally got the Vogue/Touch/XV6900 to connect via PAN to my PC and successfully searched Google thru Opera on the phone.

This is the Quirkiness I mentioned earlier... I simply tried over and over again to get the PC and phone to acknowledge each other and connect. I don't know why they have problems but I do know (NOW personally verified) that the Vogue/Touch/XV6900 will connect via Bluetooth PAN to a PC.
[Touch CDMA General] HIYinOR:
Data is a great reason for this phone... but there is a price you pay for Data and it is a price I simply can't afford... even $10/month, and that is reality for many in this economy.

BUT like many of the new owners I understand the incredible value of having a WinMo phone even without Data. No "dumb phone" even comes close. And if you can get one with a keyboard and wifi for $30 or without a keyboard and wifi for $10 dollars... why would you choose a "dumb phone"?

The greatest part is my latest is an HTC so I can finally go crazy with all the ROM's etc. and maybe even get to brick my phone.:):eek::o...:D
[Touch CDMA General] jdm4life:
talk about economy.... i could afford $10 a month....

but sadly i believe the unlimited internet is a whopping $20 a month! =x

and as far as i know thats the most expensive for internet ?
[Touch CDMA General] jdm4life:
well yesterday i got my vogue to connect to the internet via usb cable [it was quite slow] but i cant find any guides that will teach me how to connect using vista....

this is what i have:

HTC VOGUE nfsfans 6.5

Windows 7 RC 7100 [vista guide will work]
[Touch CDMA General] HIYinOR:
USB through your PC... correct? It is the same process for Bluetooth just a different "type" of connection, and it will probably not be any faster:(... The thing I like about the bluetooth PAN connection is the ActiveSync connection so that my calendar, contacts, and favorites can easily be synced... even more useful is the ability to transfer files to the SD card without removing it.

I am impressed that you have already Flashed to nsfans 6.5 ROM. I am still reading up and have not taken that jump yet... also reading up on the GPS activation which is a bit confusing at this point in time (a lot has happened since this phone came out... it now comes with WM6.1 which some have claimed shut down the GPS fix... maybe...)
[Touch CDMA General] jdm4life:
hmmm maybe i should jus get the unlimited data huh?

but as for the 6.5 roms its totally workth it.. only problems i have that dont bother me is the video camera is choppy when it plays back and there is no mic support for the wired headset =[ here's a screenshot of my phone =]

main menu

and start menu
[Touch CDMA General] HIYinOR:
I like the looks of 6.5... alot!

If you can swing the Data Plan... all I can say is I would if I could no hesitations. I'm stuck with wifi when I can find it, and Bluetooth PAN at home. This is the future...

the internet in your hand to search, find, learn and do what you want where you want and when you want. Nobody really thought Everybody would have cell phones 18 years ago when I got my first Motorola Brick. 10 years from now (probably less) most people won't question the cost of data anymore than they do now for cell service. It will be less and it is a premium now, but this is the future starting today.

But the future can wait for me it isn't worth going into debt... further into debt:rolleyes:
[Touch CDMA General] jdm4life:

well yeah windows mobile 6.5 also has its own slide to unlock like the iphone and it has the passcode lock aswell.

[General Questions and Answers] HoPi`:
Hi there,

my next mobile phone is going to be a Topaz, but my question might apply to other devices as well.

Basically I want to feed a car radio via a2dp with music (coming from a microSD card inside the device) & navigation instructions (I prefer TomTom and Mobile Navigator, I have yet to decide which one to get in full version) and use the radio's hands free feature for phone calls.

The radio I might be getting is a Sony MEX-BT3600U (link).

My question is: how exactly do I get this scenario to work? I'm unsure whether the device has to "mute" the music and navigation instructions when calls come in or the radio uses different kinds of "channels" for a2dp and calls. Do the programs (music player and navigation) require certain functions to accomplish this?

Thanks for helping me out... and feel free to suggest other possibilities!
