HTC Touch Pro2 T7373 Unlocked Smartphone - International Version with No U.S. Warranty

And predictably, the only review gives it two stars b/c the reviewer couldn't be bothered to find out what bands it supported before he bought it.

This is the only place I know where there are plenty of people with this version, so I was hoping a few of you could provide real reviews there to offset the idiocy.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] guptavar:
Hi,

I am wondering if the Htc touch pro 2 that is available through telus in Canada, Ontario can be unlocked as they say it is a world edition. I am interested in upgrading to this handset but before renewing a contract for 3 years just because of this handset I would like to get to know more about this.

The following is the link to Telus website with more details about the Htc touch pro 2 offered by them: http://www.telusmobility.com/en/ON/htc_touchpro2_t7379/index.shtml

This is my first post & thread here so, I hope my question is in the right section and fine in all aspect. :confused:

Thanks

I read from this article:http://www.macrumors.com/2009/07/31/apple-to-release-fix-for-iphone-sms-vulnerability-on-saturday/

It says the vulnerability impacts our WM phone as well. Anyone has checked that and if fix is available? Tried using Google to search our beloved forum but didn't pop up anything yet ..
[General Questions and Answers] Starfury:
I read about this too and if it can be patched that quickly on Android then I'd hope it should also be a quick patch on WinMo, especially as the SMS functionality is implemented in pretty much the same way apparently.

Plus XDA has people who are working with Android so maybe they can share what changes Google have made?
[General Questions and Answers] Starfury:
I am fairly surprised this hasn't been picked up by the technical bods here as it is quite a major vulnerability and Apple and Google have patched their OS's so WinMo is trailing behind... unless someone knows of a patch thats already been done?
[General Questions and Answers] anagarika:
I'm going to PM some mods I know .. ;)
[General Questions and Answers] Starfury:
Any response from them yet?
[General Questions and Answers] anagarika:
Our good Dave is going to check with some resident expert.. and hopefully some lights to be shed.

From the info I gathered, it actually result in DOS for iPhone and Android, but no news/confirmation on WM yet. So we don't know. However, given the method explored by the author, it's likely at minimum resulting the same (DOS, phone hung, etc.). I think, for phone user, this is critical, as you can't spend your day checking the phone always just to make sure it's still connecting to network/operators.
[General Questions and Answers] Starfury:
From what I read the vulnerability could allow for remote code execution including reading your phone's storage and activating cameras and gps. So someone could write an app that send this information back via the data connection and that person could be watched and tracked without knowing that there were compromised.

This is obviously worst case scenario but I for one would sit on the paranoia side of the fence and get it plugged. If we can.
[General Questions and Answers] anagarika:
From what I got and discussion, it's mostly DOS.

However, IMO, it still scary. You can't be contacted nor SMS-ed without you realizing until you need to initiate call/ connection.

For someone most of the time on receiving side (doctors, etc) it's really a danger. I do hope our resident expert can find out something, as I don't think MS will be doing it.
[General Questions and Answers] Starfury:
You may want to read this article where they interview one of the guys that found the vuln...

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/hacking-iphone-security,2384.html

(Linked from Slashdot -

Specifically this bit on page 4...

Charlie: Collin's framework also works on Android and WinMobile. We found some denial of service bugs in Android (which we reported and are fixed) and a pretty bad bug in the way HTC WinMobile phones handle SMS messages containing the format specifier %n. That's a fun one because you don't need any special tools to send the malicious message, just use your phone to text your buddy with %n and their TouchFlo (application manager) will crash and won't come back up.

[General Questions and Answers] Starfury:
I believe the current HTC handsets come with WM6.1 now as standard, either HTC or Operator flavoured. As this is a forum for all HTC devices on WM5.0/6.0/6.1/6.5 can we have some testing done on stock ROM's on stock devices please?
[General Questions and Answers] anagarika:
I'm going to send a %n text to my buddy's phone and see.

At least now the thread is getting some attention. My concern is for people (like me) that rely more on receiving call/SMS than making call/sending SMS. A crashed network connection will result in no phone at all.
[General Questions and Answers] Starfury:
How'd the testing go and any movement on patching?
[General Questions and Answers] anagarika:
Just sent myself a %n message but nothing happened. On TPC v10.9 on M2D (Mega's M2D)

My friend is now using custom ROM .. so no try there. I don't have OEM that has M2D ..
[General Questions and Answers] Starfury:
What about just trying it on a bog standard WM6.1 OEM ROM from an operator.
[General Questions and Answers] anagarika:
Can do .. later perhaps when I'm changing ROM again. I thought it only crashes M2D? No OEM for Kaiser has M2D ..

Are there any translators in the android market that don't need to access the internet for translation? I'll be abroad in a few months and I plan on using prepaid sim cards, so I'd rather not use all the $ on data. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
[G1 Apps and Games] kusotare:
Not that i've seen. The translation software and language pulgins that I've seen on standard pocket translators are very very large and they generally cost lots of money. The size requirements alone would probably make it difficult to effectively fit an offline translator on the G1.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] volumnus:
I am getting very fast data in HSDPA (H) areas, but in Edge (E) areas, I have to log on and off several times just to do minor tasks like download email or update weather. I know H is faster than 3G and much faster than E, but I used to be able to do most things with just an E connection before flashing a new rom and radio. I wonder if it's the new Hard SPL, the new rom, or the new radio. Any idea for what is affecting my Edge data?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChrBeck:
Try to flash the old radio. If that doesn't help try to flash a new ROM. And if that doesn't help too check your login informations for EGDE. Sometimes they aren't the same like for 3G.

I don't think it can be the hardSPL cause it normally has nothing to do with the Radio commands so that is not a problem.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninthutopia:
Hi, I recently bought a X1 and so far I love it.

Changed ROMS, SMS ringtones etc...

But I have encountered one problem. I can not stop the ringtone from ringing after opening up the SMS or email. On all of my past phones the ringtone would stop as soon as I opened them.

Is there anyway around this?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harveydent:
How long is your SMS ringtone? If it's a 5 minute song, I beleive it'll go on for 5 mins :)

Use an app like MP3 trimmer to pare down your ringtones to manageable length.

A call ringtone will stop as soon as you pick up the call though.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninthutopia:
I cut the ringtone down to 30sec.

All the previous phones I had stopped ringing as soon as I opened the message, whether it was a 20 sec ringtone or 2 min ringtone. :(

Thats exactly what i want it to do with SMS.

I've got a G1 right now and was wondering what the deal is with tmobile US and the lack of hero? Is there any reason that tmobile denied it and what exactly are the limitations if I tried 2 use a hero on tmobile US?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Volker1:
The Hero currently sold in the EU supports 3G in the 900MHz and 2100MHz bands. T-mobile USA licensed spectrum in the 1700MHz and 2100MHz bands (in different geographic regions). Of course, 2G (voice and EDGE data) works everywhere, but Tmo is probably waiting for a version with the correct US frequencies.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imurpops984:

All depends on which ROM you are planning to use and whether you are going to run compcache and so on. It might run fairly well on your device when it is root-able, but why not save the question for that time...

I am a Touch Pro which does not have a PTT button.

Any suggestions on how to reach the camera quickly? What is your quickest way to get to the camera?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mputtr:
remap the center button on your phone to start up camera
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] paperWastage:
mobileSCR Gscroll, map the capacitive area of the screen(where the buttons are), really useful(can choose any sequence of taps to do anything, open application)

or AEButton... what' the use of a volume rocker? just use one button to get to the volume page and use the touch screen to change the setting...(one problem would be changing vol on the fly like during a phone call... that case, change the setting, one-button press = default volume behavior, two-button press = whanever you want, three -button, long press, whatever you want
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] muzikfreakah:
Thanks! I will try to do this but I cannot find the built in remap ap on NRGs rom, still looking for it :-D

@paperWastage: Thanks for the tip! If I cannot find the built in software I will install AE buttons.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] The Jack of Clubs:
you cant remap the center button. i think he was being pedantic. :P maybe you can set a button to be voice command and say "start camera".
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] argentocruz:
I just have the camera in the programs... Slide over to programs and press camera...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mputtr:
actually... i was serious. There is a fuze keyboard config software floating somewhere in the raphael forums. It might be able to let you remap the centerbutton.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] The Jack of Clubs:
but why would you want to remap your center button.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] muzikfreakah:
I have to agree as this is a very important function.

Mayne a Long press center button maybe more appropriate.

I cant seem to find any remap built in software on the NRG rom. My Touch dual had one which allowed me to remap some basic buttons like volume button.

Looks like AEbuttons is the answer for me. Will try to test it first and update you guys.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ericwood311:
If you go to Setting and on the Personal Tab there is a Buttons setting and you can change the receive call button (press and hold of course) to whatever you want, including the camera.

Also a good idea to go over to the Systems tab and change the Long Press End Key Setting to Lock Device or something else than Turn Airplane mode on/off, god that sound is annoying when Airplane mode is turned on :mad:
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] The Jack of Clubs:
it depends on the rom or software if you have the unlocked all buttons. honestly theres no faster way to get there than start > camera or photos tab > camera. if you dont have an american phone with a ppt button, there wont really be a faster way.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mputtr:
i actually did not mean to map the single click. I thought it was obvious i meant the long press.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] manoli20:
using softkey manager you can replace one of the softkeys on the homescreen, as ur using an NRG rom im guessing your two softkeys on the home tab are "action" and "contacts"? ive got rid of the contacts, because a. i could jus use the people tab, or b. jus press the call button to bring up the dialer... and have replaced it with camera

the softkey manager should be under utililites/tweaks... it is on mine and im using an NRG rom

hope this helps.

What if you flash the phone with the hero stock rom, shouldn't that clear all sim locks etc? I flashed my phone with the factory rom to start anew, and you don't need to worry about locale(localization settings), as they seem to autosetup during the flash.

Anybody know if it works ?

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
No - the SIM lock is a quite separate thing. Flashing a ROM from an unlocked Hero on a locked device will not unlock it.
