Hello,

I have bought the phone on ebay.com. And my network provider is Vodafone India.

I try to connect to Google Maps by activating GPS in my mobile, but nothing comes up.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

[G1 General] SpartusTana:
If you're in India, This could be just a simple fix in google maps.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=630887

Try that. It allows international maps for google maps. That's all I can think of to help.

All I can figure, is that the previous owner lived in the united states, so google maps was configured to america, but the link above will help you get it internationally. I hope this helps.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bmvanc:
I have been trying different roms and been working fine until last Saturday. Now the diamond will hang easily even after a fresh install. And every reset will trigger a new install and many times I have to reflash with the rom in the internal storeage to bring it back to work and then will hang again..please help.

Hi,

i had the same issue with a rom - fixed it afair with mtty or you can try to flash another rom
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] djfuego:
Follow the reset process.

Follow the MTTY procedure and flash from your storage then hard reset.

If you follow the correct procedures you won't get this reset problem.

I only get reset issues if I don't MTTY when flashing a rom.

If you have vista or windows 7 you don't need to fart around with drivers

Just grab a program called PSAS and this will allow you to follow the MTTY reset. Read the MTTY thread at the top of this forum.

I am in the UK and on O2 and no matter where I seem to go I cannot pick up a 3G signal...Edge is the best I get.

Is anyone else with O2 and has managed to pick up a 3G signal?
[HD2 General] Grantzxr:
yes get a H in lots of places anoying thing is at work i keep swapping between full nomal G and 1 bar of H
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
I don't think I've seen my O2 HD2 drop away from a 3G signal yet! Its sat on 3G/HSDPA since I got it.
[HD2 General] andydprice:
Its alright for some! :D

Just took a quick look at mine and once again its Edge....I had heard O2 was pretty poor for 3G signals; I take it I shouldn't need to configure anything on the phone - if a 3G signal is there it should just pick it up?
[HD2 General] A|ex:
I didnt even know that there was anything else apart from GSM until i moved out of the valley when i was a teenager to go uni. You might just be unlucky and in an area with no 3G coverage.
[HD2 General] Richy99:
how old is the sim card? i couldnt get anything other than gprs/edge but that was due to my sim card not being 3g
[HD2 General] cees1969:
I had the same issue. I requested a new 3g sim from o2 as I had my existing sim for at about 9 years, noticed that the gold contacts on the new sim were configured differently. Upon using the new sim have always received HSDPA signal. I suggest you request for a new 3g sim .
[HD2 General] novahob:
I had the same problem, old sim card. just nip into an O2 shop and pick one up. I called up to activate mine and it was working within 10 minutes
[HD2 General] larrytango:
i generally get H unless im at work in which case i get crap signal and slow net :( lol and thats the time i want to play on phone haha
[HD2 General] andydprice:
Chees guys....yes the sim card is pretty old.

I'll give it a whirl and see how I get on.

Ta!
[HD2 General] MalekoUK:
It will be due to the SIM card, I called O2, asked for a 3G sim, and i got one the next day!
[HD2 General] Tomo1340:
I switched from the touch pro to the HD2 and stopped getting 3g or hsdpa. I installed a cab from the touch x thread in the themes forum. That put a switch in comm manager to turn 3g back on.
[HD2 General] cozzykim:
Yep Andy, it's your sim, I was paying O2 for 3G for 3 years and only getting Edge :( until a sales rep at a Vodafone shop noticed and told me to ask O2 for a new sim.

Result!! HSDPA at my home address.

Good Luck.
[HD2 General] 1pudding1:
Hmm, think I may need a new sim too then. I assumed i was in a dodgy reception area, and have never seen a 3g signal. Is there a specific phone number/email address for this? Will they just send a new sim out if you just ask for a new one?
[HD2 General] SMS92:
Good advice, let us know whether the new Sim does the trick. ;)

I have a new (year old) o2 sim and can get on 3g/HSDPA in covered areas normally but I find the connection less than consistent in places that aren't 'fully' covered.

In my Hermes or in my o2's mobile bb dongle I can get a constant 3g connection with no dropouts, whereas my HD2 has trouble keeping that kind of consistency, going from full 'G' to 1-2 bar 3g (or more).

I flashed with a new radio which seems to have helped somewhat, but at my gf's place where there is currently no hard-wired broadband and 3g is needed, I end up connecting to WMWiFiRouter on her Hermes as a constant 3g connection is guaranteed. Mine will drop to 'G' seemingly at random and can take some time to find 3g again.

I'm going to flash with various other radios when I get some time this week and will post the results in this thread too, as everyone here will likely be o2 users possibly in the same boat.

Using HTC 1.66 Rom, radio 2.09.51.03_2.
[HD2 General] SMS92:
I would think calling 202 from your phone would do the trick, just go through the menus... if you get someone who doesn't know what you're going on about, just ask to speak to a manager / better department.
[HD2 General] cozzykim:
They just sent me a new one, no apology, no offer of a refund for years of 2.5G.

I guess it's convenient (for O2) if people just carry on thinking that they have no 3G signal, after all, bandwidth is money :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] 1pudding1:
Yeah just spoke to them from 202 and theyve sent a new one out. Thankfully this HD2 is the 1st smartphone Ive had, from last Dec, so Ive not lost out for too long without 3g, thanks to xda. :)
[HD2 General] Richy99:
why would they send an apology?
[HD2 General] cozzykim:
[cynic]

For not advising me that I needed a new sim when I got a new 3G contract but charging me for 3G?

[Touch GSM General] dunedan20:
Hi, recently I backed up the rom on my htc touch xl and I read somewhere it takes to rebuild and that required a original rom in English but can not find any. The only thing I've seen in this versions that appear do not correspond with mine (2.20.621.1 rom in Spanish) and if it will not to do the reconstruction.

the truth I like to have the copy of my rom to install any of the so graciously made for some awkward fellow like me. And if things go wrong you can restore the rom I had before.

thanks
[General Accessories] erebusting:
I saw another thread talking about this remote :

but then I wanted to know if there are any others out there, prefferably one with joysticks ? or something similar to a PS remote because I would like to play PS emulators on my HD2 if possible....

anyone have any ideas? I dont mind if it is blue tooth, or through a cable or something, just as long as it works... please lend me your ideas/thoughts on this topic...

[General Accessories] erebusting:
seems like with all of these developers and talent that there would be something better than that out there doesnt it ?....maybe there is, but we have not heard of it ?...hopefully some others can shed some more light on this issue...
[General Accessories] josefcrist:
there is a program out there i forgot the name that lets you use one pda to remote control another pda over bluetooth if you would like that better.

i personally really want one of those msi gamepads but i have not been able to justify spending $30 on something i will probably play with for a day then never touch again.
[General Accessories] erebusting:
I feel the same about the 30 thing...I cannot see it worth it, I know I may use it more than a day though, but man - $30????? wth it does not look worth that much.... haha, well I would rather use the MSI gamepad than another pda (I think)....

any ideas? I am sure if we try we can all get something different, or work on something ...but I know that is taking a long shot ...
[General Accessories] erebusting:
what about this ? would this work ?

anyone know anything about the topic or the previous post?

Hi,

I can not access market with 3g and wifi, it force closes every time I want to use it.

I think I can use AppBrain to install some software on my nexus one but I can not find the AppBrain.apk anywhere in the web.

If you can, can you please share it with me here?

AppBrain website is http://www.appbrain.com/

Thanks.
[Nexus One General] legolas.w:
Hi,

Anyone?

Thanks
[Nexus One General] babijoee:
If you cant access market you should try to fix that.

Maybe try a new rom?

But anyways is this app free? If not i dont think you should be requesting for it.
[Nexus One General] legolas.w:
Hi,

It is free.

Thanks.
[Nexus One General] MoxFulder_CH:
you can't usse appbrain for that. When you add an app using the web appbrain page, it will sync with your device. After that, on your device, you click on "install" and it will launch the market to download the app.

hi,

plz anyone have a french rom for diam200 ????
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
OK so there's a topic for mobilephonesdirect orders so thought I would start one for mobiles.co.uk.

They say they are getting stock in at the end of march but this could be wrong?

I've ordered the Vodafone 600 plan with £5 deduction, 600 minutes, unlimited texts and will pay an extra £5 for internet.

My Order still says Order Pending, put it through Saturday Night.
[Desire General] Arthur Hucksake:
I put through the same order tonight, they are coming to us on 26th March I believe. End of the week. :) I will ring them tomorrow to confirm, if my order goes through ok.
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
26th March? Really? Wow! I was expecting 1st April! That made my day:p
[Desire General] cez10:
hoping to hear from you lot if you got any updates as i also plan to upgrade, and because o2 is being very very slow so far i dont want to wait till end of april to get this phone so i might just simply get 1 from vodafone :)
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
Did you end up ringing them?
[Desire General] Jabbypants:
Says this on there site now

First stock expected Thursday 25th of March, reserve yours now!
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
Is it normal for my order to still say "Pending - Order Received" Does it change from this before they get stock in? :confused:
[Desire General] rodenal:
I hope i'm wrong here guys (as i also have a preorder placed through them, way back at the end of Feb) but i believe the first stock is T mobile only, the vodafone stock wont be in / released until the first week in april in line with when the network is releasing the handset.

Could be wrong but that is the impression i was given by mobiles.co.uk customer services when i enquired about what happened r.e credit check etc seeing as i ordered so long ago.

Pending - order received is also fine it's just because the handset isn't in stock
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
I think you may be wrong there although am not 100% sure because they state:

So surely they are getting in Sim-Free handsets which have nothing at all to do with the network you have selected?
[Desire General] rodenal:
So it does, you may be right then, although i'm certain an email from customer services said T mobile stock was going out first, I think i've deleted it though.

Suppose i'll work on waiting a couple of weeks and if it arrives sooner then great
[Desire General] rodenal:
Having said that if the handsets aren't tied back to the network somehow then how do these companies ensure you dont just cancel the contract (as it would effectively be sim only) and keep the handset?
[Desire General] thedalmeny:
Interesting...

Seems like there orders could be coming direct from T-Mobile then.. Rather than normal where u'd get the SIM free handset direct from Mobiles.co.uk

May give an indication that ordering from T-Mobile direct will be giving us a SIM free handset aswell
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
They get their money purely for putting you on the contract, IE Vodafone will pay them straight away. But of course vodafone know you've bought it from mobiles.co.uk. If you cancel with vodafone within the period I'm pretty sure they would then inform mobiles.co.uk who you'd have to send the handset back to.

It's then all with the network provider and they technically could if they wanted to have nothing more to do with you at all. The only way you could get out of the contract is by buying it out which gives no loss of money to either vodafone or mobiles.co.uk.

Substitute vodafone with the network you've chosen :P
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
Hope we'll all get it on Friday lol, will be disappointed now if not. Wouldn't have been disappointed originally but now they updated their page to say first stock 26th march, that's when I'm expecting it! :(
[Desire General] thedalmeny:
I think tbh - that they're getting stock in on the 25th and release is 26th (Which is why the listed it as 25th).. With T-Mobile having a 1-2 day delivery time.. I'd imagine some will recieve it on the 26th - then some on the 27th.. Depending on the post. Purely a guess though.

It's killing me waiting though - im to use to ordering things and getting them next day now :)
[Desire General] pphillips001:
Just got this from mobiles.co.uk:

Hello,

We are hoping this handset will be approved onto the T-Mobile network shortly although we do not have an exact date for this as yet. We are expecting to receive stock of this handset tomorrow. Once this handset is approved and available to release we will process your order and will update you via email.

Thank you for your patience.
[Desire General] Jabbypants:
I fully expect the date to change on there site and say sometime next week i hope i am wrong.
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
So that means vodafone has to wait then? :(

I thought they were unlocked, so they would send them out regardless of the network you've chosen.
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
Just got this text:

"Your order has been accepted by your chosen network and has now been passed along to out Quality Team for further checks, thank you"

Have ordered it on vodafone. Maybe vodafone customers from mobiles.co.uk will get it dispatched tomorrow?
[Desire General] MazMx5:
Mobiles.co.uk just sent a message confirming the network has accepted the order etc. The phone was ordered on March 13th (Vodaphone 12 month contract). Hopefully I won't have to wait much longer for my 'superphone'. :p
[Desire General] Redpizzi:
I have decided to leave t-mobile.

not because of the deals or anything

The reason for me was because for £40 a month i can get a 12 month contract.

And that is all i am interested in - been able to upgrade to the HTC desire 2 in 12 months. ha ha ha

Still Mobiles.co.uk are wankers.
[Desire General] FloatingFatMan:
Finally got an email telling me it had been shipped...

Shame DHL have no trace of the tracking no I was sent, though... :(
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
They have that same deal, same price for 24 months with handset for £60.

I just managed to get them to knock £60 off the handset and got Unlimited Texts as the flex booster.
[Desire General] 13th Apostle:
just got my phone delivered :D got told on thursday it'd be delievered today so im happy

just gotta twiddle my thumbs for 3 hours while it charges now :(

[Desire General] assimilator:
Fab. I'm on one of the old one2evening contracts where I get free local and national calls Mon- fri after 6pm. TMobile have given me £250 off the subsidised price of the handset, which is £300, so I only have to pay £50 to upgrade to any price plan on offer. Unfortunately, if i want the desire, I'm going to have to change my price plan, which I'm quite happy to, so long as I get the free unlimited landline (which incidentally is free anytime of the day, as opposed to after 6pm on my current pplan). So thinking about:

18m, £20 pm, 300mins, 300txt, free internet,unlimited LLine. Total cost:20 x18m +£50handset = £410.

OR

18m, £25pm, 600m, 500txt, free internet, unlimited LLine. Total cost: £25x18+£50=£500.
[Desire General] Nmidia:
well it finally arrived. No bloody free gift though! will this saga ever end!

And they still havn't answered my emails! Phone call next!
[Desire General] mobiles.co.uk company rep:
Hello, I am a representative of mobiles.co.uk. I am very sorry to hear you did not receive your free gift with your handset. May I ask if you have now received this? Please let me know as I would be happy to investigate further.
[Desire General] rodenal:
Has the status on your order page changed? Mine is still the same and no text.

Although i know vodafone have accepted me for the contract etc because they called me a couple of weeks ago to check if everything was ok with my new contract lol
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
Mine is still the same Pending - Order Received but after today's text I'm hoping it will change to Order Shipped or something.

It can't be a coincidence that 1 day before they get stock, I get that text.
[Desire General] Nmidia:
ordered mine as an upgrade to my Orange contract via Mobiles.co.uk, the nice lady one the phone said that it would be shipping friday for a saturday delivery.

Good Luck!
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
They've got rid of the bit on the page that said something along the lines of "First stock expected 26th March, preorder to get yours"

[Desire General] Jabbypants:
I knew something would happen I wonder when we will get them now.
[Desire General] skanj:
which tariff did you go for mate? Still deciding which tariff myself
[Desire General] Nmidia:
35 quid/24 months one, free radio etc.

the orange contracts are not as good as the t-mobile/vodaphone ones, but I live out in the sticks, and the covereage of the other networks is terrible here, so little choice. The orange upgrade contracts are not as good as the new customer ones (as usual), but i wanted to keep my number, so pretty much stuck!
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
They haven't said anything to us about a delay like T-Mobile and their blog says they would be getting them today and that post was published just after they removed the "First stock expected 26th march" bit from their website.

Anyone have theirs shipped out yet?
[Desire General] Jabbypants:
I emailed them this morning over this and had a email of them saying all other networks have approved the phone but T-Mobile have not, they never said anything about delays with the handset but anyone on T-Mobile won't get it even if they come in today until T-Mobile approve them for there network, they are hoping they will approve them today.
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
So maybe vodafone is still on =/ I had a SMS yesterday saying phone had been approved by network.
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
Just got off the phone, stock isn't in yet, will be in "later today" apparently.
[Desire General] Nmidia:
are we all turning blue from holding our breath?

Not expecting mine until next week now!
[Desire General] Jabbypants:
I will be surprised if they turn up today.
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
Am crossing my fingers The woman on the phone said stock would be in later today :rolleyes:

What worries me is, even if they do get it today, what would be the cutoff time for them to reach us tomorrow :confused:
[Desire General] Nmidia:
the normal next day delivery is 4pm, most companies latest dispatch is about 7pm, so plenty of time yet.
[Desire General] Jabbypants:
Any time before 3-4Pm will be fine i bet but anything after not much chance.
[Desire General] Jabbypants:
I actually took the chance and emailed and changed mine from DHL to Royal Mail in the off chance they come in for delivery tomorrow.

This there delivery schedule.

DHL@Home

DHL@Home offers next working day delivery and applies to the majority of UK mainland addresses.

Monday to Thursday - orders placed prior to 4pm delivered next working day between 7.30am and 9.00pm

Friday - orders placed prior to 4pm on Friday delivered the following Monday, again between 7.30am and 9.00pm

Royal Mail

Monday to Friday - orders placed prior to 4pm delivered next day before 1pm

Saturday - orders placed after 4pm on Friday and before midday on Saturday are guaranteed by Royal Mail to be delivered by 1pm Tuesday, but in our experience are generally delivered by 1pm Monday
[Desire General] Nmidia:
strange, i was told by mobiles that a friday dispatch = saturday delivery
[Desire General] ainey:
Hiya, first post ;)

im thinking bout ordering from mobiles.co.uk but on orange rather than t-mobile like most (i live out in the sticks too)...anyone had any indication of when the handset will be sent out for orange contracts?

seems really odd that its the only website thats showing it on orange
