I would suggest you just keep checking the au ebay site. I just bought one on there this past week and there was another one that was on auction at the same time. Also, 2 weeks ago someone in NY sold one he had bought from AU.

So, is the Australian Telstra 9193 worth the $800ish dollars being charged for it? With the upcoming switch to AT&T looming, I would like to get an HD2 that is fully functional on their network, but the price tag is scaring me off a bit.

Also, the TMOUS HD2's, which I have, has 1024RAM. Will I notice any operating difference in the Telstra 9193 since it only has 512RAM?
[HD2 General] lude219:
By the time the whole spectrum switcheroo process is said and done, you'd probably moved onto a better phone, anyway. It'll take 1-2yrs for the conversion to be completed, so it's safe to say you should stick with your tmousHD2 instead.

As for the ROM (not RAM), there's absolutely no operating differences other than the difference in storage size.
[HD2 General] lantern20:
The only thing is you won't be able to use NRGz extreme roms with the t9193 other than that no major issues with the phone.

[HD2 General] FirefighterDown:
Guys, I seriously need help. I was like literally in tears as sad as that sounds when this problem occurred because I cannot live without the phone - most of my business revolves around my phone. :(

1st Problem:

The USB charging port is bent and ****. Therefore I am unable to charge the phone unless I hold the charger at an upward angle. Even then its flaky.

2nd Problem:

Both of my batteries (normal + extended) are now dead, therefore I am unable to turn on the phone. No way to charge it. Luckily I have an HTC Inspire 4G on the way from the states and it -should- be able to charge the batteries.

3rd problem:

I've flashed it to Android via NAND.

What I'm trying to figure out how to do:

Flash back to the stock Telstra Windows Mobile ROM that came with the phone so I can actucally return it for warranty. But as long as Android is on the phone... I'm **** out of luck. I've figured out how to flash via SDcard but the Tellstra ROM I found won't flash. It just says "LOADING" and never goes to the "SEARCHING" part which enables you to flash the phone. I'm not sure why.... And I cannot flash any other stock ROM for some reason. Can someone provide me details on how to flash it to the stock Telstra ROM via SDcard and provide the ROM?

SPL is 2.08.0000 on the phone.
[HD2 General] osiedacz:
You could try a charger that charges outside of the phone?

universal charger

I had same problem as you as my micro USB pin was bent and not able to charge properly. I went by a Batteries plus store here in Columbus Ohio and picked up a universal battery charger. Battery goes in charger and charger plugs into wall receptacle. This has resolved my charging issues. Back of charger reads, "USC-02 Universal LCD Li-ion charger". Cost was around $25 US Dollars.

board

Hi guy and girls,

does any body know where can I find or buy a boar for a t9193 telstra HD2 ?

I'm pretty sure the board of my HD2 is damage, i did almost all I can think of to fix it but no lucky so far (taskt29 flash android , flash wph, flash wm 6.5, flash the original telstra rom, flash hspl 2.8.0000 I even disassembly to look for a loose cable o some thing but noting).

it keeps freezing or restarting (depending of the OS)

I know that this phone is in the market for more that 2 years and this is not a phone i'll buy again new... but is so much fun to change OS play with adroind wph etc, so i dont want this phone to die.

I originally bought this from ebay in Australia but I live in Colombia, and here we dont have any HTC suppont.

Hi Guys,

just bought a Telstra HD2. Put my Optus sim in the phone and call functions are working, but i cannot get any data connections.

It tells me that "Telsta Internet is pre-configured. It cannot be modified.

Can someone help?
[HD2 General] wilczy:
You need to flash a custom ROM and then you will be able to set your APN settings.

There is a lot of ROMs to pick from in HD2 LEO thread.

For Windows Mobile - Energy Rom is good start and if you like Android then CoreDroid is the best choice.

Make sure when you flash to follow first time flash procedure.

You will find it in same thread as Sticky. (you need to prepare phone first) just search Htc pedia or Htc Wiki for beginning steps on the Rom type you pick.

Have fun!!!
[HD2 General] weka101:
I feel for you

I have exactly the same problem broken usb and have flashed nandroid

i do have a micro sd with a telstra stock rom that works. The trick is to put the rom onto a 1Gb sd. I could not get it to flash from anthing larger.

check out this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1053366

just remember that the RUU_signed.nbh file must be renamed to leoimg.nbh on your sd card to flash from sd

I hope this helps

have read further down from your post about getting a universal battery charger. Will go and check out battery world see if they can help me out. I have been without my hd2 working for a month now. Have picked up one of those 7inch samsung galaxy tabs to keep me going in the mean time.

stock rom & radio

i know i m too late to post this... but since i m a noob in this...was looking for some help.

my query is about the T9193 radio

my current radio is 2.07.51.22_2 & rom is 1.72.82124

if i flash a 0.50 radio like 2.15.50.14 will it be compatible with this stock rom itself or only a custom rom

i ve seen many threads saying that flashing an incompatible radio will brick ur phone...that's why i m unsure if replacing a .51 radio with .50 radio will work

i hav already installed hspl
[HD2 General] spikes527:
The 2.15 radio you are referring to can be flashed to your T9193 model. As viewed in this thread it has been said that signal strength and battery life are improved by flashing it... The radio is compatable with anything you decide to flash your phone with.

ATT is migrating the entire 3g network to 850 WCDMA by the end of 2010. If you know there is 3G in your area, I'm sure a good chunk of those towers run 850 already.
[HD2 General] matthewf01:
Hah!

Seriously LOVING the phone. Coming from an X1 which was getting a little worn down... I was running some custom ROMs towards the end, and its a bit of pro's and con's for me because I like the tweaks guys put in like in EnergyROM, but I hate having to update more often than a stock ROM to fix bugs. Running the stock ROM first for a while on the HD2 until I grow out of it, but Ive put lots of work into customization.

My only gripe is this damn randomly disconnecting data bug! Still no one has figured it out! Its making me want to try out other ROMs and Radios... honestly im a little scared to start messing with radios right now.

One thing I STILL cant get over is the 'pocketability' of this phone compared with the chunky XPERIA X1 - its so slim! Every time I pull it out it gets attention, everyone loves the design, and the giant screen has impressed everyone who's seen it.

BTW, regarding that 'strange thread'... anyone see our boy Kevin is trying to sell his "first in the USA!" T9193 in Marketplace? :)

Youtube

sorry wrong thread

Could be a proxy issue, check out your registry:

HKLM/Software/HTC/Youtube/ProxyName (something along those lines)

I actually had to -clear it- to get my YouTube working, but I might be an outlier scenario since I'm technically 'not' on att... but I am.

FYI: Try power cycling your HD2 and see if YouTube still works. If not, you'll have to clear the key @ HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{EF097F4C-DC4B-4c98-8FF6-AEF805DC0E8E}\HTTP-{436eF144-B4FB-4863-A041-8F905A62C572}\ProxyName as well (in addition to re-clearing the key @ HKLM\Software\HTC\Youtube\ProxyName)

Maps: AT&T 850Mhz vs 2100Mhz (Not official from AT&T)

This is what I google'd a while back when I was looking for the same info cause I wasn't getting H/3G. Come to find out...i'm in a 1900Mhz area

http://cellularmaps.com/att_850_1900.shtml

Also as stated on the site....the info was provided by AT&T as of 2008. Things may have changed...but as it was said by a few others...it's best to just call.
[HD2 General] mrmomoman:
That's not the same Kev with 1 post that will ship to the Canadian buyer? The seller said he was testing the phone out for 3 days and now wants to sell it?

Hmm....

Glad you liked the phone. The order i placed was delayed due to my ID/address confirmation. I was out of town. I came back to place the order again and there is a delay. UGH. Sounds like a stable product with a small data glitch. I am a ROM hound so I don't mind it. One weekend on the Touch HD I think I put in like 8 ROMS :) I was bad. No more of that.
[HD2 General] dwella:
Thanks it shows I am on 1900 but like you said the info is from 2008 I hope I can find someone that knows anything when I call. I have not had much luck. Thanks again

This connection time out thing is quite annoying. I wish someone could write a quick program just toggles the airplane mode on and off like every 5 hours automatically.
[HD2 General] Bakedbread:
hey guys,

I'm thinking of picking up a HTC HD2 T9193, but i keep reading in this thread that people are having issues with the dropped data ?

I live in Canada (under Rogers network) and was wondering if anyone using Rogers network has had any issues with the 3G data dropping ?

I think that's a pretty major issue and im wondering if this is a software related or hardware related issue?

I'm slightly scared of pulling the trigger now, unless someone has a solution (which it looks like no one does after reading this thread)

But it also seems like some people see the issue and some dont?

:S

Any insight/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
[HD2 General] doctajay:
The dropped data connection is a very annoying thing, and its hard to tell if because it has the same hardware as the nexus one or whether its something else. i figure a fix will eventually come out.
[HD2 General] kevkirbsblueivy:
Actually doctajay you are not correct here. The issue with the data connection timeout issue for almost all user's and reported on another now closed thread is 100% radio related which is a combination of hardware and software and not as easy as a simple fix. They are one in the same. Almost everyone who owns this device no matter the radio they flash has fluctuations of signal all over the map sometimes by even moving the darn thing one inch and this is the main cause of the internet connection timeouts.

Htc Australia who just contacted by phone at my expense are aware of this issue and has received hundreds of complaints from Aussie's no less and all they could tell me is they are seriously looking into the issue and aka Nexus one debacle are hoping a cure will come soon.

A new rom and radio will be released in the next 2-3 weeks the rep told me but they are already on xda and while the radio, i have it on my device now, is the best I have tried the problem was not solved by HTC.
[HD2 General] doctajay:

[HD2 General] mikron15:
LoL, actually the nick, the join date and post count were my initial clue it was our good old Kev. The "at my expense" phrase was just the topping on the cake ;)

If it helps, I'm on Rogers and using the T9193. I have been getting good 3G signals so far when i have roamed around the city. I don't experience the dropped Data connection issue yet... My phone shows 3G and had a max of 2 days uptime no interuption in data connectivity. IMO, it seems most of the data disconnects are faced by AT&T users... I could be wrong.

Although i do notice as of today my gmail push mail stopped updating on it's own interval. When i went to the settings , it switched to Manual update instead of Auto. After reverting to Auto, all is fine mail wise. My weather is set to update every one hour, but it won't update on its own in the background every hour. But it does update quickly as soon i siwtch to the weather tab. This could be a ROM issue, not sure.

If you have any other questions related to Rogers, let me know!
[HD2 General] Agoattamer:
It has been a week since I have had any data dropping issues. My phone has been wonderful since I changed to the settings I noted earlier in this thread. I have a steady H signal for the most part. Occassionally it drops to 3G when idle but as soon as opera or another app connects to the internet it goes to H. My previous ATT branded non winmo phone was the same way.

By the way I am using radio 2.08.50.08_2 with sea wwe official 1.66 rom.

Yes I had the data dropping twice per day before this.
[HD2 General] matthewf01:
You sound familiar.

Unless you're kevin's dog Kirby...

Agoattamer, I tried your phone settings modification and it doesn't seem to be doing the trick for me :-\
[HD2 General] Agoattamer:
Did you try the new radio? That might have something to do with it.
[HD2 General] fnuna:

Excuse me, but I can't find your post with the best working settings. Can you tell me what did you change?

Hi guys. This seems to be a nice friendly informative thread. I too WAS having the data disconnect on my phone.

I have the 1.66 sea wwe official rom. I tried every radio from the telstra radio to the new 2.08.50.08_2 radio. To tell you the truth I didnt notice anything different between any of the radios. So I really can't say if one is better than the other. But I started changing settings.

If you are in a 3G (H) 850 area I suggest this.

settings/Wireless controls/phone/band

for Network Type choose WCDMA

for Band Frequency choose the third setting. On Telstra rom it will be GSM(1900)+UMTS(850) and on any other rom it will be GSM(1900+850) and select done.

Now this should stop most of that switching you see in the taskbar of your phone. But this isnt actually what is causing the freezing. It has to do with your sms messaging I believe. I went 2 weeks resetting my phone twice a day. Then I went here.

settings/menu/all settings/connections/advanced network/sms service

Right now GSM is working for me. 4 days and no internet freezing. I believe your incoming email might be coming in by sms also. Notice you only get a few lines and have to download the rest using data to see the whole email.

Others on the forum have turned off email and their phones quit freezing. So if GSM doesnt work for you try GPRS and so on. This is only my opinion but I have been very happy for the last 4 days. Thanks for letting me share this info.

If anyone is interested I have made a cab file which is un-installable that will change the Band Frequency menu to the menu from the Telstra rom. It is mostly cosmetic but at least you will know what bands you are selecting. Use at your own risk of course. I have installed, tested, and uninstalled it myself. No issues.

For the last 4 days with these settings I only see 3G while phone is setting idle. As soon as I connect to the internet it switches to H. I am very happy with my phone now. Thanks matthewf01 for starting this thread. I should have came here sooner.

Quig: didn't mean to butt in, Ago is busy, he will be here ? Hope this is what you needed, sorry if not. Ago is my bud, he will let you know. Quig
[HD2 General] JuBond:
I've been shocked by the amount of people having issues with the T9193 lately. I had used Miri's 2.3 WM6.5 rom along with the stock Telstra Radio (2.05.51.11) pretty much since I got my phone back in January... and had zero issues. No dropped data connections, no voicemail issues, and no dropped calls. I finally moved up to Miri's 4.0 rom when it released, because it included the PDF viewer and eBook tab from the latest T-MO leak... and suddenly I got this odd dropped call issue. I'm wondering if the new radio roms, along with the T-MO rilphone that is now cooked into all the newer custom roms, are causing an issue. I've reflashed my phone back to Miri 2.3, along with the stock Telstra radio, and my dropped call problem is gone. Anyone else care to try an experiment and do the same? I'm wondering if the new Telstra radio (2.07.51.22_2) and rilphone from the latest Telstra rom, cooked into the latest Leo builds wouldn't solve all these issues.
[HD2 General] lhino9:
This is so strange. I'm in Hawaii and have never had a problem w/a data disconnect; strong connection all the way.

i'm still using the 2.07 radio, i'll upgrade to the 2.08 radio and see if that makes a difference
[HD2 General] AlExAkE:
Too expensive!!

I just don't understand why the Europe version running on a different frequency can be found $620 and the T9193 @ 850MHz one that will run on AT&T is so f&&&& expensive?? that's like 33% more than the same phone with a different frequency. Its so stupid... why can't 3G be 4 band as well...

Is there any chance the T9193 will drop near $600 or HTC will eventually decide to ship one made for other networks rather than T-mobile for the USA...

I'm an AT&T customer, they have the best 3G network:

http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/pcworld-ranks-atandt-tops-in-3g-performance-test/

I'm sorry but $1000 for a phone is wayyy to much!!! No matter how much I love this phone...

Anyone knows a cheaper place or way to get the HTC HD2 to work on AT&T 3G network?? Thanks all
[HD2 General] ryuu55:
As of now you will not find the T9193 under $800 (maybe less if used on eBay or another user here dumping one). Only the T9193 has the 850mhz needed for at&t USA 3G. Telstra has a contract w/ HTC to be sole provider of the T9193 in Australia. When that contract ends you may see a price drop. T-Mobile has contract to be sole provider of the HD2 USA (ver. using T-MO 3G). Anyway until at&t drops/loses the exclusive contract w/ apple they would not pickup a "competing" device against their precious iPhone.

Good luck.
[HD2 General] Agoattamer:
The T8585 was just as expensive if not more when it first was released. The T9193 is a hot item. All retailers in Australia that ship out of Australia are back ordered at the moment. I hear it is just as hard to find there. Give it time and it will come down. Also as just stated the T9193 is a branded Telstra phone so Telstra basically sets the price and it goes up from there.

But looking at the other Australia Next G phones that had made their way to the US the price has always been higher.
[HD2 General] mazzarin:
Not to mention most of the current sellers are gouging and making a tidy profit.

Seriously, $1k+? And I'm sure people are paying that too.
[HD2 General] lude219:
Simply, it's supply and demand, folks. If none of us (including myself) want the T9193, then it'd be around $600. When you have a singular market (Telstra in this case) supplying one model (comparing to 4-5 different carriers in the EU/Asia with the T8585), they can then dictate whatever price they want without feeling much of a pressure from other competitors. I'm willing to bet that whatever incentives Telstra give to HTC as part of their agreement, they made it back by selling it to other 3rd parties for a nice little fee.

If you're complaining about the price, sit back and wait for a year and buy one.
[HD2 General] AlExAkE:
I may as well do that, and get HTC Pure from ATT for $99. I resist to spend more money on a phone than I spend on my laptop. Its just too damn unfair! If their goal is to rip off people with ****Ass monopoly like this than BE IT! I'm sure they would have made much more money if decide to sell it for $600-$700 lets say... I bet hundred of people including me would buy it or wait like for a 1 year to pick it up at ~ $400-500 at the end of 2010.
[HD2 General] mazzarin:
I'm not really complaining, I bought it from PD like most of us in this thread.

AFAIK, they were and still are the ONLY ones selling it at a reasonable price and they are selling them like hotcakes.

PD sold the phone itself for about $770USD which was not a terribly high premium over the 8585 - especially considering a) the 9193 seems to fix all the hardware bugs (except that bloody bright dual led flash!) b) the 8585 only recently dropped below $700USD when it has been out for a few months.

I just checked their website again and they actually raised the price to $810USD - your supply and demand in effect lude219 - but it's still cheaper than the rest.

Just checked ebay and a t9193 with 2+ days remaining (with 10+ bids!) is selling for $930 + $30 shipping inside the US. :eek::eek: Haha amazing.
