Hi There, I had to give up my TP2, because my work made us go over to blackberry’s :mad: So I have not been looking at the forum for a few months. I have just read this thread 5 times, and it looks like I can set my TP2 to run BES, Has any one set this up using Vodafone UK? My TP2 has hard SPL on it. Now that I have my TP2 back to play with ;) I have a some questions, if some one can help, I would be most grateful

1. What would be the best rom to use?

2. What is the best method to use to set it up, on my TP2?

Thanks patcat007 & ekerbuddyeker. This works great in South Africa on Vodacom.

Putting it all together made it much easier.

Thanks again!!!!!

My work is making us switch as well, either BB or iPhone and after 5 years of WM I will not go back to a substandard OS or device!

But instructions worked great. I'm on Tmobile USA.

A couple of extras I had to do:

1. Call your carrier and enable BIS/BES data plan. It's missing from the instructions and that's why people are getting a "PIN Pending" message.

2. Tmobile USA, due to the many mergers/takeovers of smaller carriers and Cingular in California, has a great deal of MCC MCN numbers. Not all of them were in the phone, but I checked them against the Wikipedia page and enabled the GPRS/UMTS duality on all the MCC MCN combos I found in the registry. 3 in total. I guess that might come in handy when roaming within the US. And if true, this would also need to be done for other roaming carriers, say out of the country. If someone has more info on that, please chime in.

I got mine working on Rhodium for a month without problem. I'm using energy titanium rom with iphonetoday desktop to save memory. To increase speed (I think), I'm using overclocking tool & phonex to replaced the default WM/HTC dialer. Now, the phone looks like iphone GUI but also with BB connect working good.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] devis:
Not sure why, but I only have one connection now... the blackberry one. I've edited the registry, it worked fine for about a week with both APNs active and a couple of days ago it stopped. I get either one or the other. When I'm online it kills the BB and connects regular internet. When I close Opera it switches over to BB after a few minutes. Ideas???

Will Blackberry 4.0.0.106 .work with this ROM too?

Hi everybody,

Today I got a new "Vario V" with a "ROM 1.85.111.1 (65933) GER".

Does anybody know if this will work too?

I don't know, if the mentioned ROM "NRG Z8 ROM Build 21877" is older now and maybe even not as good as mine.

Normally I wouldn't flash a ROM anyway, but I HAVE to get the BB-Function. Even if I should try, the posted link for Step 1 from patcat007's excellent description

is obsolete now.

Can someone give an alternative ROM which ist good, stable and will work with BB Connect Client 4.0.0.106?

Thanks a lot,

Waka
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Miami_Son:
As this is the Rhodium subforum, the likelihood of an answer is low. Might want to try the Vario V subforum, if there is one.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] waka_jawaka_2002:
Hi Miami_Son, thank you for your reply.

As the so called "T-Mobile Vario V" disributed in Germany is identical in construction with Rhodium or TP2, I thought I could have success.

Unfortunately the german forums had not that much about the topic.

waka
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] waka_jawaka_2002:
Doesn't with ROM "1.85.111.1 (65933) GER"

Doesn't work with my ROM "1.85.111.1 (65933) GER"(see above).

After Step 2 and Step 3 (but skipping Step 1) still "HTC-Rhodium" is loaded in BB-Info :-(.

Any idea where to get the right ROM and a hint for the clearest tutorial how to flash it?

Thanks,

waka
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Miami_Son:
Try the ROM Development subforum. There is a tutorial on ROM flashing and HardSPL unlocking. Finding a carrier-specific German ROM will be a lot harder, though.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] waka_jawaka_2002:
Connected!!

Got connection with 4.0.0.104, where SetModelID.exe worked obviously (switch to "HTC-Raphael" in "BB-Info")!

Within 30 minuten 1500 Contact, 900 Appointment and the MAils were transmitted - even not in 3G-Mode much faster than ActveSync. :-)

Tomorrow I'll try step 4 (Is it very necessary? I think didn't understand exactly the reason for step 4)!

Thank you!

Edit (after 10h running without trouble):

As I see now, everything works fine - BB und GPRS at the same time; so I suppose, if you didn't had to do "Step 1" to flash your Original-ROM, the MULTIPLE APN'S still remain and you will not have to do Step 4.

Step 4

Hello patcat007.

Thanks again a lot for your accurate instruction.

I'm working fine with my VARIO V within full working Blackberry Client since I wrote my last posting.

But it is a matter of fact, that as I activate 3G some other applications will not work - for example Skype. Afterwards I stopp the Blackberry connection, Skye is logging in immediately.

So I think i have to do:

So I did.

I changed in Folder 262	01 (T-Mobile (D1)) GPRSContextNumber = 3 anyway was set to 3 and UMTSContextNumber was set to 2 - I changed it to 3.

But nothing changed with my Skype-Problem. Anyway I didn't realize, what or where the the "NetworkContexts entry" is to find.

Can anybody help?

Newbie help please,

Hi guys,

Sorry to be a complete noob here but I was looking to install this on my HTC Touch Pro 2 as I would like to be able to use BB messenger.

I am in UK on Vodafone, I am on the latest standard ROM from my network and wouldn’t really like to change this as I have previously had issues with this phone and would like to still be able to send it back for repair if needed.

Does anyone know if I will be able to install and use this remaining on the standard ROM and on my network?

Do I only need to follow the original post or is there an updated guide? :confused:

Thanks for any help :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] waka_jawaka_2002:

Hi blindboy1990.

I didn't flash my ROM and it didn't work with Blackberry Connect 4.0.0.106 but with 104.

You can get it here:

http://www.sems.org/entry.asp?entry_id=338

Try it in aspect to the original instruction:

I did step 4 later but some Apps won't get connection meanwhile Blackberry Connect 4.0 is running - for example Skype.

At first you have to stop BB - but that's not a problem.

If you want to sync the PIM-data with just one PC (maybe at work) I recommend to sync not just the Emails but the calendar and contacs too. If you want to have your data for example at home too, you should sync your data via activesync (<= XP or just Windows Mobile Device Center if Windows 7).

Happy new year,

waka
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] blindboy1990:
Thanks,

Thanks Waka,

ive just been doing some more reading on this, i think ive actually misunderstod what bb connect was used for. the only real reason i wanted bb was for bb messenger as the rest if my family all have bb devices but i refuse to give up my touch pro 2.

will this enable to be use bb messenger at all or just to sync emails and contacts :confused:

Thanks,
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] waka_jawaka_2002:
I tried the Calendar too - and it worked well. Optional U can use "Tasks" and "Notes" but I never tried.

All in all the WM BB-Client isn't so confortable as an original RIM-BB device for these proprietary functions.

But the rest of TP2 is far better than any BB-Device imho (But I never tried Torch 9800 ?:-).

31.12., PS: Do you mean with "messenger" the Email-push function? This works perfectly. But maybe I didin't understand correctly; Sometimes there are not directly translatable terms in German.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] scattaman:
You will not be able to use Blackberry messenger on your TP2 or any Winmo device. Only the push email service is available on BB connect. Yeah i know... that sucks..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] 1milenia:
whats the benifits of this conversion
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] m4rc3l1n0:
just email and unlimited browsing i think

anybody tried this with htc hd2?

i need the bbm messenger also

:)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Putra:
For BB Messenger, we have to buy a BB handset :(

That's why I'm carrying 2 phones now. My trusted TP2, and a BB Bold 2. The BB handset is mainly for BBM because 90% of my friends and family use a BB
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Vintila:
I am sorry but the only way to get your HD2 working with BB connect is changing the IMEI.

[General Questions and Answers] andromeda9:
Hi guys,

Easy questions I hope: :o

I've never (yet) got into the area of unlocking phones and I would appreciate someone just answering a couple of questions to make sure I've got the general idea of unlocking.

1.

Am I right in thinking that you have to unlock a phone so that you can use a different provider's SIM card - instead of using one that is provided at purchase time?

e.g if I have an XDA supplied by O2, I could unlock the XDA and then use a SIM card from T Mobile?

2.

Do I need to unlock my phone EVERY time I put a SIM card from a different provider in it? Or once the phone is unlocked I do not need to do it again?

e.g. If I unlock my XDA, put in an O2 SIM card, and then go on a flight abroad, can I simply pull out the O2 card and pop in one from a local shop in a different country?

3.

Do I need to keep a record of anything before I unlock it?

e.g. Are any settings needed to be recorded BEFORE YOU START in order to unlock the phone ? Do I need to record information so that in the future I can put things back exactly as they originally were.

4.

Is there any differences between unlocking phones that have PAYG or CONTRACT cards? Are there any issues here?

Thanks for answers

Anne
[General Questions and Answers] armalite_ar50:
In the USA a un-locked fone will bring more money used or new. and also has a wider seller/buyer market.

Once unlocked that's it. any sim anytime.

we have 5 fones between the two of us ( me and my better 1/2)

2 nokia's, a palm treo, a behold and a behold II (rooted 12/1/2009)

We have just our personal sim cards from T mobile (one each) we work weird, REALLY wierd hours. Some times our smart fones don't get charged or go dead while we are out. We just pop the sim cad into one that's got enough juice to get one of the "better" fones charged.

We both rely on our fones for our jobs.

A little know fact: in the USA it's a federal law. IF you bought your fone legitamatly. IE: not stolen. the carrier must provide you with the un-lock code in 24 hours.

The people that pay 15.00 or more to have a fone unlocked are either. Un-aware of that law. In a country where it's illegal to unlock a fone. Or knowingly have a stolen fone.

1: So yes you are right you need to un-lock the fone to use another provides fone with your sim.

2: You un-lock the fone once any sim card will work after that. AGAIN your right. (provided your in a country that has the same GSM 3g 4g network)

3: ALWAYS keep a written log of any "admin" #'s given to you for a fone.

the behold has a admin # that lets you turn on all kinds of things that are "off" out of the box. and you need that # everytime you make a adminastrative change. This maybe true with other fones as well.

4: I don't know about pay as you go. I would think once unlocked you would be able to use the fone pay as you go, so long as you had minutes on the sim installed.

I'm sure there are alot of people here that know alot more than me, and can help you further. I just got back into the cell fone game about a year ago and was out of it for about 10 years.

Things have really changed, then again they really haven't changed.

[General Questions and Answers] trowakage:
One thing of note is that just because a GSM phone is unlocked, doesn't mean it'll work with every carrier, as carriers will sometimes use different baseband frequencies (there are four, 850, 900, 1800, 1900mHz I think) and some phones only support 2-3 our of 4.

I'm in Canada for example, where Rogers and Fido support GSM networks (phones that use SIM cards), Bell and Telus use CDMA (phones that have ESNs programmed into them). So if I buy a Sony Xperia X1 for example, I have to be sure to buy the American version, as Rogers only supports 850mHz, and the European version of the X1 will only support 900mHz. So even if I unlock the european version of the X1, I can't use it on Rogers in Canada.

I'm guessing you're from the UK, where the market is even more diversified. 3 Mobile for example, can only use phones that support 3G (or HSDPA). A good place to look for such specs, after finding out what frequencies your carrier supports, is GSM Arena.
[HD2 General] commodore65:
Has anyone actually bought the HD2 and thought its too big. The size is the only thing putting me off taking the plunge, havent seen one in the flesh.

Also has anyone bought their HD2 from mobilephonesdirect.co.uk thinking of getting one on a 12 month contract from them
[HD2 General] RedDevils88:
it is only a little bit wider and longer than the iPhone. due to its thickness, it is very pocketable and you wounldnt have noticed that it is inside your pocket. :D
[HD2 General] iouk:
It's less bulk in my pocket than my old Nokia 5800.
[HD2 General] VanKurt:
Yeah, it's really thin. So, as mentioned above, you won't feel it in your pocket ;)

It also fits very well into my palm. I'd say the size is perfect :D
[HD2 General] Dr.Sid:
It's a bit larger then iPhone. First impression is 'it's huge !'. But I think the form is just OK.
[HD2 General] D.O.C:
I think HTC made a good job considering the size of the screen, basically you are holding just the screen.
[HD2 General] Isadora:
I've got smallish hands (yes, I'm a girl lol) and have no problems holding the phone or using the screen (despite my very long nails)
[HD2 General] dagrim1:
It IS big, but it is also thin so in your pocket it isn't that big of a problem...

I have to admit I sometimes have a problem operating it with one hand, I just can't easily reach some parts (I have small hands) but you also get used so quickly hehe.

Had the Omnia Qwerty (B7610) before this and already thought it was pretty big. Now holding it after holding the HD2 it feels very small!

The size is fine, the screen is just so nice for browsing, video, etc. Really liking it so far!
[HD2 General] niknik76:
for daily use I like my Topaz more.. it depends on your use. if you like to browse the net and watch movies the hd2 is amazing. for texting I like the size (and screen) on the Topaz better. one thing is for sure, the design and feel of the hd2 is so smooth that the bigger size is very well presented.
[HD2 General] mr_Ray:
Size hasn't been an issue at all with this phone. Well to be fair it actually has - it's made it an issue going back to the teeny screen on my Touch Pro - how did I ever manage? It also fits so well in the pocket it's not funny. No more "is that a slider phone in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me?"

As for mobilefaildirect... there are several threads about them. Truly disgusting customer service, likes about stock and delivery... unless the price is significantly better than elsewhere, avoid avoid avoid.
[HD2 General] Blacked Out:
I bought mine from mobilephonesdirect. Tbh everything went fine - but if it hadn't they seem pretty useless for customer service. During my purchase and delivery I made several attempts to contact them, and I only got an email which basically said: "I don't know". If there is an alternative for the same price - take it.
[HD2 General] arfster:
Too big has 2 dimensions:

1) In the hand: unless you have quite small hands (smaller women?), not a problem. It sits in the hand perfectly.

2) In the pocket: it's great for shirt pockets, because of the thinness. Jeans pockets not so much, bit tight to fish them out of there :-)

Perhaps the next model they could slim down the bezel even futher. Could easily shave 1cm off the height.
[HD2 General] mobile88:
I am very comfortable with the size. Suprisingly I find it more pocketable than my TouchPro2 ( as it is bulkier though length width wise is smaller)
[HD2 General] nadderf:
Is it possible?

I only have sound when i'm listening to music, so i have to mute everytime i'm unplugging headset.

Is it possible to make the phone do that automatically? Or even better, just leave the sound muted and play music in headphones anyway?

Hope you understand my problem :D
[HD2 General] appelflap:
Look at this thread, maybe you can hack something together and share it :)
[HD2 General] nadderf:
That one is not doing it automatically, don't want to click on programs :P

Don't know how to hack it, have my hope on other users on XDA :D
[HD2 General] appelflap:
+1 :p

I know a way to check the headphone state with mortscript

Headphone = RegRead ("HKLM", "System\State\Hardware", "Headset")

But that's pretty much it :) I don't know squad about running mortscripts in the background without using to much system resources. Maybe somebody can jump in ...
[HD2 General] mideel:
would love this feature too. had it on my htc topaz with wm 6.5, so why wouldnt it work here, too? But I dont know if it was cooked in or already in the stock roms.

When I put my phone on "vibration only", it automatically turned on the volume when headset was plugged in. Did it reverse when headset was removed.
[HD2 General] rebecker:
If you're willing to PAY for this, you might check out SBSH Pocket Weaver 2. I use it as follows:

1. Headphones: Lower Main and Ringer Volume. Main alters the volume in the headphones so I don't mistakenly get blasted when I start the first song. Ringer volume quiets down the volume if I'm listening to music.

2. Evening: Turn off sound. Vibrate only from 8:00 to 11:00PM.

3. Night: Reduce Ringer volume so I'm not blasted awake.

4. Day: Normal volume settings.

All of these things are done without my input (after the initial setup). Number 1 is triggered by plugging in the headphones. Numbers 2, 3, and 4 are triggered by the time of day. I'm guessing you can set one "Profile" to your normal needs (no sound) and set a Headphones profile to just the headphones. Download the trial and give it a try. Let me know if I can help with the initial setup.

I've used this software with my old TyTN II and my new HD2. It works.

-Bob-
[HD2 General] nadderf:
Nice, thanks :D Downloading trial before buying..
[HD2 General] mideel:
I am using Conduits Pocketplayer for music, and now I've downloaded the WMP-Plugin because I solded my earphones to the standard-htc-headset to get the media-control-buttons. They are only working when I use the plugin. And from now, the sound mutes when I unplug the headset :) Without any additional programs.

well, yes that is the sensible option, and i really dont have an answer for that :-) for some reason ill read a text and then decide to call someone at that moment..seems to happen a lot with me, before i know it im calling someone i dont want to call.

just thought if there is some sort of reg fix..or anything really..
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
So your reading a text from someone, but decide to phone someone else......lol :D

Anywayz, I haven't heard of a reg fix for this. Maybe somebody else can chip in. I'll have a look at the registry see if I can find something
[Touch HD General] taz2007:
thats the jist of it...i pick up my phone to read an sms..then i think ah as i have my phone in my hand i better call this person :-) or other way round i go to call someone and then i see i have a text...sooo what ends up happening...yup im calling the wrong person.ha.

if anyone finds a hack that would be cool..but im sure i can live it.

im curious now, i cant be the only person that doesnt like this :-)

You may not be, but generally (as a rule of thumb) if I'm reading a msg from someone that person is on my mind so I'd want to ring him/her..........but thats just me ;) lol
