Among those of you with a deap knowledge of the inner working of HTC phone for 3G networks.

Is HTC doing something to phones for each carrier to lock the phone to a specific carriers 3G network and no other.:eek: :( :mad:

I'm asking because I was talking with a freind of mine who was given a HD2 as a part of a promotion for use on AT&T 3G network (850/2100). He uses T-Mobile and tried to get it to work with his T-Mobile SIM with no success. He also told me he had a conversation with someone from HTC that told him that he would no beable to get his HD2 to work on T-Mobile because the hardware will not work with T-Mobiles 3G network (1700/2100).

If this is the case does anyone know if it changable, is it a Firmware issue that can be changed or is it like hard wired physically?

Then the question is if we are buying these phone, some through contracts others outright, do we want to told whos service we have to use!!:mad:

Lets have some good discussion...:)
[HD2 General] lude219:
there are billions of threads on this.

3g is radio/hardware dependent. he'll unfortunately be stuck on EDGE.
[HD2 General] Agoattamer:
He will have no issues using the phone with T-mobile usa. He will not get 3G because of the bands. He will just have edge. But calls, mms, text, email, and internet will all function properly.
[HD2 General] alejo1575:
Clarify this please

I bought my HTC HD2 in USA (unlocked) and here in Peru, where I live, I cannot get it to work with 3G. If I lived in USA, is there a way to know with what carrier I would get 3G ?
[HD2 General] tallmantim:
So you are on Claro in Peru?

For 3G you need a phone with 3G 1900 support. If it is the T-Mobile version, that would have 3G on 1700/2100 bands which would be no good. If you got an AT&T handset (850/1900) it would work for 3G for you.

You need to understand what 3G support your version of the phone has. For example mine (Telstra Australia) is 850/2100 - which would not be able to pick up 3G in your network - however it works excellent with Telstra (850) in Australia and currently working well with StarHub (2100) in Singapore.

Your phone is quad band - but that is GSM quadband not 3G - it is 3G dual band and that is what is important for your connection.

Edit:

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UMTS_networks for list of 3G networks...
[HD2 General] alejo1575:
Yeah ...bad news

Hi tallmantim ....

Thanks for your response. Yeah, today I did my homework and found that my HD2 has UMTS (HSDPA) 900 - 2100 bands, a fact that is not good because Claro and Movistar in Peru operated the 850 - 1900 bands for 3G.

Question: is there a HD2 version with 850 - 1900 band ????
[HD2 General] Leddy:
No, but the Telstra HD2 will pick up the 850MHz signals where they exist. There is no HD2 with the 1900MHz UMTS band at the moment
[HD2 General] theisdept:
Would you mind pointing me in the direction of those BILLIONS of threads.

I've done searchs on hardware dependents, radio/hardware dependents, 3G radio.

There are so many way that is topic could be listed.

I'm finding nothing but my thread now just as before.
[HD2 General] kilrah:
Erm, so AT&T gives a phone, for promotion of their service, and at the same time they should allow you to use another network? You've got too much hope there...
[HD2 General] egypro:
yea my friend my phone is , and i am here with t mobile suffering from same problem like u , i bought that phone which is compatible with Asia , not here in usa

is there way to exchange??

mine is

Network HSPA/WCDMA:

Up to 2 Mbps upload and 7.2 Mbps download speeds

Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE:

850/900/1800/1900 MHz

(Band frequency, HSPA availability, and data speed are

operator dependen)
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
exchange your phone for cash

exchange that cash for a phone that supports the correct bands.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] resist:

weather donate

More like the HTC weather UI minus the different cities options.

Never tried beautiful widgets though!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] McFroger3:
I have both and I prefer beautiful widgets better.

Tho it was diffrent before.

When beautiful widgets was forced to change its skin I choose to use Weather Widget Donate, but once beautiful widgets got skins, it was far better.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jrl022:
I also have both and prefer Beautiful Widgets. I believe there's an HTC like flip clock available as a skin, although I wouldn't know for sure since I've been unable to get the app to download the forecast animations it says it needs as well as it force closing every time I hit the "skins" button in the settings. Anyone else had this problem?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Prod1702:
voted for Weather Widget Donate. I have bought both of them but the Weather Widget one just seems better after you click it. I do like the beautiful one as well since you have it skinned.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kitsunisan:
Beautiful widget, it shows the weather in landscape mode, weather widget doesn't.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] commandercup:
I like beautiful widgets better, but weather widgets looks better in my opinion. Most if not all of the beautiful widget skins for the full flip clock hug the top of the screen and sit right underneath the notification bar... the weather widget htc skin sits a bit removed and it looks much better that way in my opinion.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] galaxys:
I prefer beautiful widgets skins and it's landscape look.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] blue_rocket:
Here's the SenseUI Style skin... this is as close as you are going to get to the original (however I drew each resource myself instead of porting the ones directly from Sense).

I cant send it to the dev since HTC is already on his case about similarities...

Download: HTCDesire.zip

Each PNG file is fully optimized for the best performance possible! Enjoy
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] commandercup:
Can you take a screenshot of it applied to your n1? I already got a refund for beautiful widgets... if it looks good, I'd probably switch
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] blue_rocket:
i actually have it on my Droid...don't have an N1 yet. I'm not rooted and am on a mac so screenshots arent possible. Here's a pic i took a week or so back (this was a previous version of my sense skin, it's even more accurate now).
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] avio07:
Is that a widget you installed, or did you install a theme/skin copying the desire?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] drpfenderson:
The main reason I chose Weather Widget Donate was because I could customize the skin greatly, and also display my calendar in the same widget. I don't need to know the time...I need to know my itinerary and the weather.

Screenshot:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lolittle:
I prefer Beautiful widgets, weather widget just wouldn't update the time for me and it really started to annoy me so i rolled back to the old beautiful widgets :)

I have the old data files to make it look like the HTC widget so im all bless :)

To get the HTC look on beautiful widgets you need version 2.53 with the animations pack on the sd card :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Emerman:
.apk

I think beautiful look alot better, especially before update (I still use the not updated version, I downloaded an .apk file for it. I don't remember where I got it but im sure you could find it if you google it). Although I must say weather widgets is faster at opening the forecast animation. But I don't open the animation that much so i prefer the look of beautiful widgets.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] musashiken:
Hi I used it on my N1 and it looks awesome! Thumbs up to you.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] masterjonny:
How do you actually use that zip?

I downloaded Weather Widget but when I try and install it from the SD card it says it's invalid :(
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] musashiken:
Err that skin is for beautiful widgets. At least I only have beautiful widgets.

Just unzip the folder with all the png and copy it to your sdcard\data\beautifulwidgets\skins\

You can see that all the other skin folders are inside as well.

Go back to beautiful widgets and select your new skin, it will be shown as one of your installed skins.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] The Ourea:
I will say, BW, is much better. I actually remove the htc version on my desire Rom and use it instead. I sort of like the sun to the right, not the middle. It makes it more appealing..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] -J450N:
Buy it...by far the best purchase ive made yet for the N1.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] houstonblaney1:
Choose Beautiful Widgets

I have used Weather Widget - Donate since v2.1 Now that it is on v3.8, I cannot say that it has actually improved. While there are a number of skin options, the app/widget is very laggy overall. Not to mention that the skin selection and skin installation procedures are extremely rudimentary. I had to download a 3rd party file explorer just to install different clock skins.

The Weather Widget Addon skin, which provides animated weather like HTC Sense, is perhaps the biggest headache. The graphics are choppy (and I have a Nexus One), and no matter how many times I switched back-and-forth between the default skin and the h7t skin (Get it? Like "HTC), I never could tell the difference between the two.

Beautiful Widgets, on the other hand, is an extremely polished app/widget (I am specifically referring to the "Beautiful Home" widget as there are a number of other widgets included like Bluetooth, WiFi, Silent, Vibrate, etc.). The skin downloader interface is very nice because it is 1) integrated, and 2) provides thumbnails. The skin chooser interface is exactly the same. In addition, I have found the weather animations to be fairly smooth. There have been a few occasions when I've run into a choppy animation, but it's pretty rare.

Overall, I recommend skipping Weather Widgets. Like I said, I've used it from v2.1 to v3.8 and I have seen very little in the area of improvements. Beautiful Widgets is extremely polished and professional.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tuffCookie:
hey, what kind of launcher theme or app are you using?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ChillRays:
I believe I have the final apk of beautiful widgets before htc told them to take it down. I'm getting my N1 in 38 days and I wish I could test it out sooner but I don't mind waiting. BW is a sweet program indeed.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sassyness77:
Animations?

i probably have just missed something but is there an animations file to make the clock flip as it used too on the hero, and still does on the HD2?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Macmee:
They're both completely useless to me because I can't get them to use Canadian cities.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Kman Gymrat:
Is there a way to get BW other than through the Market? Not trying to avoid paying it's that I'm not in the US and so don't have paid apps or google checkout if I use something like Market Spoof. I wish they'd allow paypal checkout instead.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jlevy73:
It's not possible unless you use a sense UI. HTC gave beautiful widgets a C&D so the cinematic animation you see on those devices cannot be replicated.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Andrewtst:
Completely AGREE with what you said. Beautiful Widgets is the go and my choices now. Sorry to said Weather Widget Add-on has been completely remove from my phone now.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sassyness77:
Yes, i know about the C&D :( but someone else posted about having the animation files on their SD card but also using older verson 2.5 something...how much was changed between the 2 version i wonder. ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fahim_k:
is that open home?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sputnik99:
Do you mean it's possible to combine the old look with the new program? I have the old apk too and would love to have both, new apk and old look
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SG_Shadow:
Thank you so much for this. I've been using the android flip skin and I just hate it. I know it doesn't exceed the 4x2 window, but it just looks huge. Thanks for the skin!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bosshua:
I've no idea about how to get the three keys at the bottom. How did you get it?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rivera618:
this skin is awesome, but the layout in landscape mode is messed up. anyone else have this problem?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fitz_boyz:
how to install

I am a complete newbie as far as Android is concerned. I had HTC Magic briefly before I moved to N1. I am still learning about it.

The HTC Sense UI on Magic was amazing and I started looking for it at XDA to see if I can get something similar for N1.

I will appreciate if somebody can shed light on how to use this skin posted by Blue Rocket. Also if there is something else out there which is close to HTC Sense UI and can give Canadian cities weather info then it will be appreciable.

FYI, my N1 is stock Froyo and not rooted. I still haven't learned enough to root my phone.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rivera618:
All you have to do is download the zip, unzip it, and move the HTCDesire folder to sdcard/data/beautifulwidgets/skins. Then the skin will appear in the downloaded skins for beautiful Widgets.

If you want full sense, you'll need a sense rom.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kpjimmy:
+1

I used a great sense rom, Evil D's NX Sense HD rom. But I am sure there are others out there as well. My only issue with Evil's rom was that I would have like no or very little space on my phone after restoring my apps from titanium backup and after using darktremors Apps2SD application. However, other than that the ROM was jammed packed with features, it was like the kitchen sink! LOL
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fitz_boyz:
Thanks dude and this was easy. I will wait to educate myself more before rooting my NI and use custom ROMs.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] little13193:
I prefer Fancy Widget Pro. Not either one of these.

Hi, i found out some free apps out there to control via Windows Mobile my PowerPoint presentation via Bluetooth.

But i can't manage to find one that works.

I heard that with WM6 it's possible to control remotelly via Bluetooth and using Microsoft Office Mobile.

But i can't figure how to do this or the option.

Does it have to do with the BEAM funcionality?

or can someone link me where i can find an app that does this for me.

Thank you.
