Is this possible?

We know that AT&T uses the 850/1900/2100 MHz US 3G bands, while T-Mobile uses the 1700/2100 MHz US 3G bands, therefore making each carrier's hardware incompatible with the other's 3G network, however I had a discussion with someone seemingly very tech savvy, who said this is most definitely NOT true.

He was certain you could flash an AT&T radio on an unlocked T-Mobile phone and get the T-Mobile phone to connect on the AT&T 3G network, and this is exactly what he plans to do once T-Moble releases the HD2/Leo this spring. He says from a hardware perspective they only stamp one type of chip at the factory, so it's the radio software that dictates whether the phone works on an 850, 1900, 1700, etc frequency.

Obviously there are early termination fees, and carrier penalties to consider, but from a pure technical perspective, is this even feasible?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] xredjokerx:
no it isnt true.

countless people have tried to flash the g1 to at&t only to get edge and be disapointed.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] LJKelley:
It is sorta true. There was a phone that HTC released at one point in time that was only triband GSM which works fine with T-Mobile, since it only uses one of the American bands for its native network, 1900. Europe uses 900 and 1800 and so this phone (I think it was the Diamond Europe) was released initially only as triband GSM as well as Europe's 3G Networks. A while later HTC actually did release a radio update that unlocked 850 (which AT&T uses together with 1900 for its GSM network).

Of course my theory is that this phone was only scheduled for Europe release, especially sine it did not have any US 3G support in that varriant and due to a bug or whatever HTC's radio hid the 850 network. But because enough people imported the phone, or to improve roaming the bug or whatever was fixed and the 850 network supported.

However, this has never been done with 3G networks. Is it possibly, yes it could be. You have to remember though, that even though you enable AT&T 3G, the internal attenna needs to be able to pick it up as well so there is additional hardware design.

I'm gonna doubt this is possible.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] donniesd:
Well then this person is only talking out of there ass. Making it not even feasible possible. The hardware is different. Go look at the fcc website. You will see the chips are not the same. Nothing to do with a damn "stamp"
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] trevorwhopkins:
Yeah not to use the big i too much around here, lol, but the best example is the Iphone. My wife has an Iphone jailbroken and unlocked to work on our Tmo account, and I spent a good amount of time figuring all that jailbreaking stuff out because it was interestingly similar to XDA's manipulation of Windows Mobile. I unlocked her phone. At one point I considered buying an Iphone and was really dissappointed to realize none of the Iphones on Tmobile have 3g. Althogh it sounds possible on some really technical firmware level, honestly theres millions of dollars going into jailbreaking iphones for the 30million or so on Tmo. And no one is getting 3g. Because it seems to be a problem that cannot be solved with some simple hack or crack.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] trevorwhopkins:
Also go look at the radio threads. everyone flashes radios from any carrier looking for batt life and reception in their area. none of them seems to have magically gotten 3g out of their radios, or lost it for flashing the wrong carrier.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] donniesd:
There is alot of things the iDont phone Dont do.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] csmeance:
from what I have heard and seen though a friend who does development for blackberry, all the carriers use different channels for 3G. The software on blackberries show that 3G for ATT is channels 1,2,3,5 and 7 if I remember correctly. T-mobile has different ones and sprint+verizon the same. I don't think it's as easy as just swapping software...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] zaclolz:
would android on rhodium provide better performance?? i mean the rhodium has a ok processor and a massive amount of ram but windows mobile is a huuuugggggeeeee turn off.

does neone think android may solve the freezing, locking and other performance issues?

Thx all for ur facts and opinions :cool:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] glcK23:
K.............
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] dcarr622:
If you consider WinMo a turnoff, then this forum is not the place for you.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] nackas:
I believe that's a fairly valid question, and might have been better to post in one of the Android for Rhodium threads, but I don't see the need to post such a useless reply glcK23...

On topic: I think Android would offer the TP2 better performance than the current WM6.5 builds, but there's still plenty of work to be done on the current porting project for the Topaz/Rhodium. And by the time a stable version of Android is available for us, we probably won't be far away from Windows Mobile 7. The chefs here making WM6.5 ROMs do a fantastic job at giving us great performance. I love my TP2 for what it can currently do, I'm not fussed about Android at all.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
Yeah, it's pretty fast considering it isn't even fully using the GPU yet. It may be an early port still, but live wallpapers (my favorite is Star Field) run flawlessly and there's only a bit of lag. You know, you can always try it for yourself...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] glcK23:
K...............:D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] zaclolz:
hmmmmm huge point there aight then im just gonna wait for wm7 lolz thx for your thoughts :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DavidMc0:
I'm not sure it'd offer better performance to be honest (compared to a TP2 running Sense 2.1, not the very cool but slow and buggy 2.5).

I had a T-mobile Pulse for a while, and it has pretty much the same internals as the Pro2 & did not perform much better, and sometimes a lot worse & needed a restart to speed things up.

I'll be interested to try Android on the Pro2 again once it becomes useable (and it's getting there fast).

There's so much about WinMo being outdated and rubbish compared to Android & Iphone etc, but I don't really agree - set up correctly you can do the very same tasks just as well as on the other platforms, and sometimes WinMo is better. Only things missing are a vibrant application store & compared to the Iphone, the snappy performance opening apps etc.

Oh, and if you want Android and a device with a Keyboard & WVGA screen, you could always get a milestone?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] frankd14321:
I had the G1 and Mytouch since before they were released. Now i have the touch pro 2.

Both have positive and negitives just like anything. Android does slow down after you load it with apps..

But considering the touchpro 2 is the same specs as the HTC hero (unlocked) I would think it could run the android Sense really well.. IF it was built for android :(

Trying to make a phone run with a different OS than it was built for regardless of specs, will take a long time to perfect.

Just do what i do, Buy a phone, use it, than when your board sell it on Ebay. Than buy another one, I'm onto the N900 next.

Have fun.
[HD2 General] Tanmay®:
Hi,

I don't know if you've noticed this, but HTC Peep always makes the HD2 lag a lot when refreshing tweets after a long interval.

The problem seems to be that even though its set to fetch last 50 Tweets, the application simply fetches all tweets. Eg. I'd last refreshed Tweets yesterday night at 9, and then again today morning at 9. The Application just fetched all Tweets during those 12 hrs, these tweets were probably in the count of above 200.

Because of this, the HD2 either fails to respond or lags heavily.

Any fix to this issue?
[HD2 General] adell_:
I don't know. But I recommend to use moTweets, it's a lot better than the HTC Peep.
[HD2 General] pympster:
I get this all the time too!
[HD2 General] Tanmay®:
So no real fix to this issue yet? The issue seems pretty simple that Peep simply ignore the Fetch last xx tweets setting. Any way we can override this and input manual value via registry or something?
[HD2 General] LongZheng:
I too have this problem and have come to the same conclusion. I've sent HTC a bug report via support email. If I hear anything back I'll be sure to update.
[HD2 General] MasterTP:
I wouldn't get my hopes up though. HTC has quite a few major bugs to fix before this one (SMS,volume overlay, pinch-to-zoom etc, call sound quality..).
[HD2 General] chmun77:
HTC is really sucks for this HD2 model... so many issues and yet none get really solved for good. Should have gotten an IPhone instead.... :mad:
[HD2 General] LordLugard:
Oh please if you get an iPhone can i have your HD2..pls pls pls pls..:):):p

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Neo XL:
You don´t have to unzip the package... Cabs have to be installed directly from the device, not from PC.

You must put the cab file on HD2 to the storage card or My Documents and double tap on it to install it on HD2. If you will be asked, install it on the main/ system storage, because it´s a system file. Restart your device and enjoy. If you want to uninstall, goto Start-Settings-System-Remove Programs.

Well,

I just heard that SkyFire use a server to render the internet pages I go to,

and, well, since I did go to several places that require me to put in

my username and password - Im now wondering:

Did the information go to the SkyFire server unencrypted ?

Did the SkyFire serber was the one to pass them on to the site ?

How can I know if the info was stored somewhere on their servers ?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
opera works like that too, and I've never heard anyone mention security issues and that's a very popular browser.if this was an issue I'm sure it would have been discussed at length all over the web.
[HD2 General] Som30ne:
Hmmm . . . Im not 100% sure Opera works like that too (at least some pocketnow.com comparison suggests Opera renders the pages on the device itself).

And - maybe most people are not as paranoid as me :),

so maybe they never thought about the subject, and about the potential security risk.

Assuming one uses the device to access his bank/investment account, and other personal info, "givig away" your username and password to some server, that you have no control over, and have no idea of the use the server operators do with this data is not so safe . . .
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
hmm not sure of the technicalities of it but certainly opera routes all its traffic through their own servers. I guess the answer then is lots of research from multiple sources.
[HD2 General] airmax95:
Opera mini does reroute your data through its severs but not opera mobile unless you have opera turbo switched on. thats my understanding of it.
