O2 normally rebadge their HTC phones as XDA phones like this one - XDA Guide (aka HTC Touch Cruise 09). A bit of a waste of time and money I am sure. Now that HTC is a pretty main stream brand they are maybe going to just sell them as HTC devices. Here is some more proof by the way, not sure if anyone has posted this but several blogs are showing pics of the latest O2 in store catalogue with a page for the HTC HD2: http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/30/htc-hd2-makes-first-official-appearance-in-o2-uk-catalog/

Hello,

I have a Kaiser locked by the operator.

The phone ONLY works with the original Sim card!

Does not work with cards from other operators, or even from the same operator.

I always get a message: "The SIM card is missing".

I already tried the several tutorials and tools to unlock it.

Even tried to change the ROM to recent versions.

Already tried differente versions of SPL... differente radio patches, different ROM's... 6.0, 6.1...

And no luck.

Never got that "Simlock" window that most tutorials talk about...

Every SIM card I try I get the "The SIM card is missing" message...

PDA features always work ok..

Any ideia?

Thank you so much!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] j101399j:
It sounds like you have a sim card reader hardware issue, not a software unlock issue. Once you install a custom rom, your phone is unlocked. When you insert a sim from a different opperator, if the phone is locked, you will get a message like "sim card not supported" or something like that. Not "Sim card is missing". Try putting a small piece of paper behind the card when you close the sim card door. If that does not work, you may need to replace the reader.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dfelix:
The paper did not work...

Is replacis the reader a simple procedure?

Any ideia where i can find a new reader?

I guess my warranty was lost when I changed the ROM...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] M1m3R:
I'm Seconding the idea that you need something to help force better contact between the SIM card and the contacts inside the phone. I have had this problem before. one one of my Tilts, I just pushed down on the metal piece that covers the sim card...

sim card out, use your thumbnail to push down a bit... until the metal comes in contact with the contacts below. you should see that there is now a slight dip in the metal. then slide the sim card in.

Others have suggested a bit of paper between the sim and metal holder.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dfelix:
I tested both ways...

In last attempt I used a quite ammout of paper between metal and sim!

Almost could not close the door.

Already tried 4 different SIM's....

3 from Vodafone... and it's curious but they all look different in the contacts.

And the one from the original operator.

There is a thread to revert back to stock for warranty purpose check the sticky in ROM Development.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] j101399j:
Yes, follow the process in the Wiki to return to the OEM settings, SPL and ROM. Then take it back for warrabty. MAKE SURE AND READ THE ENTIRE WIKI; if you miss one part, they will not warranty the phone. As for replacing the sim reader, it's not hard, you just need to follow the teardown and rebuild steps 100%, also in wiki.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Mister B:
Seen exactly the same (100% same syptoms to the letter) problem as this on 2 HTC Diamonds unlocked with olipro software.

Has the Kaiser been unlocked by the olipro kaiser unlocker ?

The 2 Diamonds had to go into service centre as the problem is linked to the block that is flashed during unlocking & mtty, rom flashing & re-running unlocking software done no good.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dfelix:
Yes...

I followed the tutorial step by step...

Then, the SIM problems happened...

After that, I tried it again with different hardSPL versions... and a the 6.1 ROM.

Both Portuguese and English version and no luck...

Now the problem is that I can't find the WM 6.0 portuguese ROM from my operator to revert it...

I guess I'll need to replace the reader myself..

Please Mr.Developer type genius people,

Us Touch Pro 2 users are desperate like you can only imagine to get Android on our phones so PLEASE apply your humungous brain power to the task and earn yourself a fortune as we are WILLING to pay vast sums of cash and there seems to be a lot of us so make some money instead of keep putting out 6.5 after 6.5 of which HTC are doing it anyway next month.

We're begging you!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ruinertt:
It's a good idea, but given the task of writing drivers, api, and interfacing with the hardware, it might be a task that is just too tall. Keep in mind that most of that info (proprietary hardware info) isn't readily accessible, anyway. It would be nice, but I wouldn't get my hopes up.

I would love android on this phone as much as the next guy....

But what he said..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dalamak:
I don't like android, and would perfer these guys to concentrate on making the best possible Winmo Rom's they can...

Htc has a devices on that run Android, equal to or better then the tp2
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] saymyname:
i don want to buy Hero just to try the android:(

if it is already running on other htc deives so why they cant make it in the TP2:confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] goalweiser:
I've had an iPhone, a G1, and now a TP2.

Android cannot come CLOSE to the functionality of a Windows Mobile Phone. Before this TP2, I had a rooted G1. In order for you to do anything of value on the phone, you had to root it. That immediately puts you in jeopardy of bricking the phone and voiding the 1 year warranty.

It has some nice features but until Oct 10th with the Flash update, it is SEVERELY limited. Video playback is limited to general mobile playback formats because there's not too many video players. On WinMo, you can use CorePlayer to pretty much play whatever you want.

Android, while open-sourced, out of the box is pretty limited. Hero has a nice UI but the quality of the phones and the out of the box limitations make it more like the iPhone. Even after adding custom roms, the interface doesn't drastically change. It still has the same type of structure...just expanded with crisper graphics and fancier widgets. However, with those additional improvements, the operating system suffers because the phones don't really have sufficient enough memory to push the OS which ends up killing your battery and leaves you with sluggish performance.

Trust me when I say, you're not missing anything big. I was reluctant to give up my rooted phone with tons of apps and a custom rom...but even that phone with its extended battery can't stand up to the OUT OF THE BOX capabilities of a Windows Mobile device.

If you want something like the iPhone...I can understand it but be prepared to be pissed off and disappointed.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] frenchie746:
I completely agree..

I have used my friends G1, and his MyTouch. The only reason I say I would like to have a port for the TP2 is because of the posibilities for that platform down the road. I wouldn't trade my TP2 for a MyTouch ever, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't like to mess around with Android on my TP2 for a few days.

I just wish WM7 would get here already!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Syd159:
As far is i know Android doesn't support (W)VGA yet. Only QVGA and HVGA, so what's the use. I prefer WM over Android anyway. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] dre20745:
True True!! the rest are just accessories the WinMo Device is the Main Attraction in my book...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] sepponearth:
I rather like WM. Android would be OK but I think I'd rather stay WM on my tp2.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ruinertt:
Plus, once the WM Market Place opens on Oct 6th (?), it will really even the playing field. If only WM had the "multiple desktop screens" like Android, there wouldn't be *that* much difference.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] FuzzFuzz:
I got a call from Vodafone that they could offer me the Hero with all the nice bonusses of discount and all.

Still I chose to drop my vodafone provider for another more expensive provider to get the HTC TP2.

Why,....because it has windows mobile on it and it supports most applications I'm using.

So for me, the entire android might as wel dissapear from the face of the earth.

I do like the effort from google to create a new operating system for phone and eventually for desktop, but even though I complain a lot about windows, I still favour it.

This has primarily something to do with the customizability of windows and the applications that are being sold for it.

one of my favourites for example is MLO http://www.mylifeorganized.net/

I have not seen a program like this for Android.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Greyfoxzero:
I would love Android running on the TP2 but as time has gone on I realized WM has its merits and that having both is great. My TP2 is amazing for its tv-out and large high resolution screen and what I feel is the best qwerty keyboard out there. My g1 is great for the game emulators and its web browser and that capacitive screen. Honestly if someone said your going to a desert island and asked which I would take I would go TP2 no doubt. Plus the true benefit of android is its market(and its open source i guess) which WM is getting soon. So ya I would fork out some money if it meant getting it to work but I think after the market gets going the desire to see it will fade.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] Traxgen:
Hi guys.

I'm interested to know whether Hero sets from overseas are experiencing this problem. apparently, users who bought it in Singapore (where i live) have this problem, and it's pretty widespread.

just curious to see if the problem is limited to Singapore or it affects other territories as well :(
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Foka002:
Hi. I have T-mobile G2 in UK and I also have dead Pixels. As Fact I know people have this problem and It's not rare. I didn't send it back cos I Can live with it but i know people who sent it few times and still have received with dead pixels. Sad but its true.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] shockboy2000:
i got 1 tiny little bright one.

annoying at first but i forgot about it after a couple of days. theres more important things in life to worry about. besides, most bright pixels right themselves after a few days/months...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Traxgen:
i'd live with one or two dead pixels myself, but people have reported up to 8 dead/bright pixels, so it's kinda worrying :(
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ZenorGR:
I do have around 8-10 dead? pixels but you can't notice them. One of them is bright enough to notice on black backgrounds and menus, but you hardly notice the other ones.

It's kind of weird though, they all appeared after 1-2 days of usage.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] levitator:
I have 1 bright pixel after 2 weeks using. The shop don't change the device with one dead pixel. Sad. In Hungary/Europe.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] nuumuun:
2 bright spots here. they are really tiny tho and i only ever notice it while booting which is not that often. no dead/stuck pixels on my hero *yay*
[Hero, G2 Touch General] shockboy2000:
stuck = bright

sounds like someone needs to create an app for Android, like the apps to fix bright pixels on normal computer monitors, where u select the region on the monitor where the bright pixel is and the app constanly flashes different colors...sometimes rectifies bright pixels after a couple of hours.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] nuumuun:
i believe some of the bright pixels might well be enclosed dust ...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=554288
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
i have to say that i don't have ONE dead pixel on my screen. It's really great. My past device (xda orbit 2) also had another problem: dust gathering beneath the display. i don't have any issues with the build quality with my htc hero and i'm really picky too.

it's an unbranded german white HTC Hero.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ZenorGR:
If it was dust though, wouldn't we notice an increasing number of bright pixels as the days pass?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] nuumuun:
i haven't looked into this myself ... just quoting other people here.

the people in the other thread seem to have come to the conclusion it is dust enclosed in the assembly process. the seal around the displey seems to be quite good ... so no new specks of dust over time :cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch General] HishamN:
Me too, I have 8 - 10 dead pixels but it hardly to notice them! you will notice them when boot the device.

Regards
[Hero, G2 Touch General] thkc:
i am not sure if mine is considered dead pixels but when the device boots up, the upper right side seems to be brighter than the rest of the screen (light shining out more from there)

however, once the device is booted up, it is no longer noticeable, maybe becoz the screen is not totally black. the only way thus far i can replicate this is to shutdown and boot it up.

does anyone have this issue?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] NordicZz:
Yeah, I also got the brighter screen in the upper part of it during boot, I think it is because of the backlight to the device so I don't think it's you really need to worry about.

But concerning the topic, I also experience dead/bright pixels during the boot up, around 3-4. I didn't even notice them during boot before I saw this thread and decided to take a closer look, not that a huge problem for me as i can only see them during the boot, and neither got I the patience to wait for it when it is at service. :P

Hi all, first post after LOTS of reading and learning!

Barclays offer all their online banking customers free Kaspersky (http://www.personal.barclays.co.uk/BRC1/jsp/brccontrol?site=pfs&task=homefreegroup&value=10662) including the WinMo edition. Am using it at the moment, some of the features look like cool like being able to wipe all data by sending a text and getting the GPS location of the phone etc

Thought I'd let other users know as this hasn't really been discussed on here from my seraches except for the odd post about issues with ActiveSync (haven't experienced this my self yet)

Haven't noticed much battery life impact or slowing down yet - anyone else use this?

Maybe I found the solution:

-if you have standard SE animation, the file is SEMC1904.gif

-if you have HTC animation (like in the rom I use), the file is animated.gif

Check which one you have and give the good name to the replacement file

If you have none, use advanced config tool to know the name of the animation file used in your rom and give the same name to the replacement file

ban me now. :D

i know i know, any hi! i'm new thread deserves beatings, and whilst i'm fully aware i'm tempting the wrath of you all by doing this....... but i don't know where else to look.

i got a htc hero 24hrs ago on orange (uk). upgrade from a sony k850i so i have never had a smartphone before. i have no idea what i'm doing with it.

i've looked but not found a RTFM page yet, or i am that retarded that i can't even find it. what i can find contradicts what i've previously read so i though i'd ask you lot....

anyway - grovelling apologies aside:

1) rooting - is there one simple way to do this, so far i have found 4 processes and don't know which ones to trust.

2) ROM's - finally found out how to get software for the phone-(shouldn't there have been a disk with the phone?) and have installed active sync. i have just downloaded:

RUU_Hero_Orange_UK_2.73.61.5_release_signed_NoDriver

is that the best/most recent ROM? if not, what is?

i guess i dont know enough about the phone to know the differences and therefore where to start. does rooting your phone allow you to get access to other apps like cydia and icy for the iphone do for example? whats the point, apart from to enable read/write access on the SD card (whats the biggest SD Card a Hero will take by the way?)

3) radios? what difference does it make if i'm listening to queen or queens of the stone age lol. seriously, whats the score here and where do i look for noob info?

help me. people with iphones are telling me i did a bad thing getting a hero. make me wise in the ways of the droid.

please and thank you.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AFK_Matrix:
Hi mate,

I am no expert as I have only had my Hero a week and have come from winmo. But I have rooted my phone and installed a rom and it was dead easy.

1. Follow this video - http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/27/how-to-root-your-htc-hero-in-one-click/ where he says to unzip or extract the cm-hero-recovery.img file all he means is find it on your pc and just copy that file to the SDCard.

I would also recommend doing a backup after rooting your phone from that video. To do this turn ur phone off, then hold the home and power button together and that will get you into the recovery area, then just select the nandroid backup option.

2. I have used the Modaco rom and have had no problems at all with it, not sure if its better than the orange one though sorry.

3. When people talk about the radio file for the Hero they are talking about a file that enables the phone to recieve the mobile phone signal, it also enables the phone to recieve a wi fi signal etc. I even think it does GPS, basically these can be tweaked to get better reception, thus you can update them. I really hope that made sense lol and hope you get what i mean.

4. Oh and if you want to put a new ROM on ur phone then follow this video - http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/27/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-on-your-htc-hero/

If not just pm me lol.
