[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jeditalian:
i bought a mytouch 3g from this girl that upgraded to a windows mobile device (not really an upgrade because she hates her new one already)

my sim card doesn't allow data at all, plus it's att. i bought the mytouch for the wifi. i need to unlock it of course, but tmobile is taking forever getting that code to me.. right now, the phone is in the initial limited mode because she factory reset the phone. if i would have known anything about mytouch, i would have borrowed her sim to login to my gmail account.

my question is: in this limited mode, where i cannot access wifi or any of the phones features, is there a way (there must be) to root (and possibly unlock?) the phone with my computer, via usb?

i obviously cant try any of the methods that involve the sd card, because i can't access the sd card in this stupid paperweight mode. i gave the original 4gb card to my stepmoms phone and got my 8gb one back from her, because even a 1gb card would be more than enough for her. so i do have an 8gb microsd i can use in the mytouch if necessary.

im not sure if i'm on the right site. this seemed to be the android development project? where you can buy unlocked android phones for development purposes? anyway, i figured there must be a tool that sets up these phones with their operating system, etc. before they go out to the phone companies. like they used on my samsung impression to reflash it.

can anybody help me out, or tell me where i should be asking for help making a mytouch 3g work, getting past this dumb 'you must login to gmail, without wifi' situation? if i cant root and unlock this thing, i guess i will just have to put it on ebay, for some lucky tmobile customer. i have never seen a phone that locks out so many features. making me login to a gmail account.. i need a version of android that isn't under nazi control of tmo. i have no idea what to do with this thing, i just know there has to be an easy way, where i hook it up via usb and run some program that makes it useful for something besides a paperweight.

basically i guess i need to turn this mytouch 3g into adp2. possible?
[HD2 General] jeewadj:
hi every one im thinking about buying a tmous htc hd 2 cause of the 1gb rom 576 mb ram:D:eek: , im just wandering if the phone will work in australia 3g , vodafone , i found out download band for voda is 2100 and upload 900

can some one shed any light on this should i buy the tmous htc hd 2 or t8585:confused:

thanks in advance
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
No, The T-Mo US HD2 won't work on those 3g bands. You want the t8585.
[HD2 General] FloatHeavy:
Or the 9193. which is the AU model that will work with ATT USA 850 band 3g
[HD2 General] jeewadj:
thanks for the reply whats the differnece in having 1gb rom
[HD2 General] FloatHeavy:
Rom = The amount of storage on your phone for contacts, music, movies etc.
[HD2 General] b84:
T9193 - Vodafone Australia

im using the t9193. Im with vodafone. "3G" "H" "E"

I get great speeds
[HD2 General] Phrak:
I'm very surprised to hear that your 9193 locks onto an H or 3G icon with Vodafone. EDGE, sure, but that's 2.5G data, not 3G.

The 9193 supports 3G/HSDPA on 850 and 1900MHz

The 8585 supports 3G/HSDPA on 900 and 2100MHz

Everything I've read about Vodafone points to them using 900 & 2100MHz bands for 3G/HSDPA.
[HD2 General] b84:
band

i am using 900 2100 :)

i used a cab to add more bands
[HD2 General] Phrak:
BAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! ROFLMAO

You're an idiot, stop posting misinformation.
[HD2 General] gamecore:
If you use Telstra then you need the t9193 model but if you use any other provider you will need the t8585 model to be able to access the full 3G service, I could be wrong but that's what caught me out.
[HD2 General] lexx-luthor:
I am on Vodafone and I have the T8585 with H E 3G & G bands via 900/2100.

gamecore is correct T9193 for Telstra, and T8585 for others eg Vodafone etc...
[HD2 General] STHD:
ok i am new to this but can someone tell me what's the different between

the

T8585 and the T9193 (i know that the T8585 is the one with the 512 rom) so is the T9193 the telstra verson of the HD2?

i am going to america next month and just to make things clear

(i am on optus)

if i want to buy a HD2 with the 1GB ROM it won't work in Aus ?

so should i buy the normal verson of the phone (T8585)?

if i just want to use the phone for call,text,mms (no internet browsing) can i get the 1GB one ? or would i still get the T8585?

so if i want the phone to be able to use the internet(not wifi) "on the go" and check e-mail i will need to get the T8585 right ? ( the one with less rom?)
[HD2 General] Phrak:
STHD,

A brief lesson in mobile phone protocols, and which model supports what:

T8585 & T9193

Worldwide

GSM, 850/900/1800/2100MHz

GPRS, 850/900/1800/2100MHz

EDGE, 850/900/1800/2100MHz

T8585

Australia (Voda, Optus), Europe, Asia

3G/UMTS, 900/2100MHz

HSDPA, 900/2100MHz

T9193

Telstra AU, USA (most), Japan (I think)

3G/UMTS, 850/1900MHz

HSDPA, 850/1900MHz

So,

Both the T8585 & T9193 can use the following services worldwide, on any carrier that uses the GSM (NOT CDMA!) mobile network:

* Calls

* SMS

* MMS, assuming you have some sort of data plan supporting GPRS or better.

* Mobile web & email, but only at GPRS (data rates of 56-114 kbit/s) or EDGE speeds (up to 236.8 kbit/s).

The T9193 supports 3G/HSDPA on 850 and 1900MHz - Telstra & most US carriers use these frequencies for 3G data.

The 8585 supports 3G/HSDPA on 900 and 2100MHz - Most European, Asian and all other Australian providers use these frequencies for 3G data.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Mobile_telecommunications_standards for a heirachical view of the technologies.

Three key points here:

1) You can't (AFAIK) buy the T8585 model from a network provider in the USA. They will all be T9193 models.

2) If you're *visiting* the USA, and indend to to use the phone on Optus when you return, buy the T8585 model from somewhere in Asia or Europe (http://Handtec.co.uk is my personal recommendation). You can still use the phone when you go to the USA for calls, sms, and gprs & edge data, and get full 3G/HSDPA speeds when you come home to Optus.

3) Ignore the 1GB Flash ROM on T9193 model. The T8585 comes with an 8GB SD card - just install all your apps on the card. This has the additional benefit that you don't need to re-install every time you flash another ROM.

Make sense? :)

Phrak
[HD2 General] gamecore:
So basically you need the T8585 for Optus.

If you get the T9193 for optus network you can do everything that the T8585 does but you wont be able to use 3G it will only be 2G or slower for web and emails on your phone.
[HD2 General] STHD:
ok thanks Phark that really help me out working out the issues

just to point something out from Phark post

T8585 Should be T9193/T-mobile verson

Telstra AU, USA (most), Japan (I think)

3G/UMTS, 850/1900MHz

HSDPA, 850/1900MHz

not picking on you (Phark) but just want to make sure everyone gets it or else it will be confusing (am i right?lol)

but another thing is that on the htc website it says that the aus verson (T9193) of hd2 uses "Australia: 850/2100 MHz" i donno if the info is wrong or what...

Also T-mobile and [HD2 US(from PDAdb)comming soon] have 576Mib of Ram which is 100 something more then T8585

So i guess i will get the T8585(Will get that in HK)

Haha and i really like how Phark quote *visiting* USA...but i am really going there Haha

Thanks again Phark:) and also thanks gamecore
[HD2 General] Phrak:
Ooops! Copy & Paste error ;-) Thanks, have edited my post.

Unsure about that one, sorry. Everything I've read (up 'till now!) suggests that the T9193 was 850/1900 - *Do* take HTC's word over mine though, you can always claim false advertising against them ;-)

The T8585 *does* have 576MB of RAM, enabled via most ROM Chefs. I'm unsure of the technical changes to enable this, but I've just (double) checked my T8585 HD2 from HK, and it says: "RAM: 576MB; Flash Size: 512MB"

LOL, I meant "visiting" in the sense that you weren't moving there permanently ;-)

Glad I could help. Have a safe trip, and good luck buying your phone in HK! :)

Phrak
[HD2 General] STHD:
Oh so you brought your phone from HK too? is that through the internet?

Or Do you have a shop that you recommend?(cos i know they sell phones everywhere) i live near mongkok and they have a whole street which sell phones

Thanks anyway

hd2 telstra t9193 - Vodafone Australia

Hey Phrak,

This is the cab i used for geting the extra bands

http://htcpedia.com/forum/showpost.php?p=57342&postcount=6

is this the correct band for Vodafone Australia?

UMTS(900+2100)+GSM(900+1800)

If not what should it say???

Is there a hardware difference that the t9193 will not have the correct data connection? Or is it just software?
[HD2 General] Phrak:
Interesting CAB - I've just found the same software built into the latest ENERGY ROM I've flashed to my Leo.

More research is needed methinks. I'm more than prepared to be proven wrong on the T9193 supported bands.
[HD2 General] steffan72:
I have been going through posts and this forum on and off for 2 days and i am just getting more confused.

I currently have manila version 2.5.19211619.0 on my hd2

I want to install a theme that says it is not compatable with manila 2.5.1921

my question is .....

How do i update manila. I don't quite understand what it is.....is it a collection of files or is it one whole file? to change icon sets and that sort of stuff do i just download individual cab files and run them.

I'm very cofused
[HD2 General] Svegetto:
Manila = htc sense.

The only way to change it is by flashing a ROM that has a different version (usually a custom ROM).

If you have further ROM questions, you'll find everything you need in the ROM section.

Also, make sure you do some searches, all this and much much more has been posted (though I do understand that it's a lot to go through).

And welcome to xda

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] connery916:
I had this problem on Windows 7 64bit as well. I have a laptop running Win 7 64 and it's never had the issue. I used my laptop to use ADB for a while but I ended up reinstalling W7 on my desktop (for an unrelated reason), which somehow solved the problem. I think it's probably a driver thing.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xiutian:
Yup, it's a driver thing, happened to me on both Win XP and Win 7. Just re download the newest drivers and install.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prscott1:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rossle12:
Soo, I've got a chance to trade my TP2 which I love oh so much because the keyboard is the sexiest I've ever seen, to trade for an HD2..

I want the HD2 but, then I don't want to have to deal with the on-screen..

What do you think I should do, keep my TP2? Or get the HD2..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Toleraen:
After using swype the last few months I've been using the HW keyboard less and less...I'd probably go HD2 at this point.

Edit: Oh, and the whole WP7S thing too.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rossle12:
Haha thanks for the quick response :P

I've used swype on my TP2 but it's a little bit.. not sure what to put.

But I'm sure you get what I mean, tol.

What's WP7S?

I know WM7..? o_o
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Toleraen:
Yeah, Swype took a bit to get used to, but once you just learn to trust it and wait to correct stuff till the end it's pretty fantastic. Just about as quick as thumb typing on the keyboard.

WP7S, Windows Phone 7 Series, WinMo 7, WP7, whatever MS is calling it these days :P
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] burtonsnow8:
WM7 = WP7S (Windows Phone 7 Series)

For me the benefit would be in running sense 2.5 without any hitches and great performance.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rossle12:
Alrightt, thanks for the replys :D

I'm still debating, 'cause I know the HD2 is quick as heck.

I'm just going to miss my TP2 ):

haha, it's all good though.

Can't wait to get my HD2!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] orb3000:
Keep Rhodium!

Typing on REAL keyboard is not comparable to any super sensitive (capacitive or resistive) screen:cool:

Even if processor is faster...

I bet to Touch Pro 3 for mid 2011:rolleyes:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] irishguy0224:
My older brother just visited me and he has the HD2.. The phone is incredible and if i could have it on Verizon i would get it in a second.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] BioTecK:
I totally agree! So yeah, Keep TP2... :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] darkic:
Get a HD2! TP2 is great but, hey, HD2 is a King!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
rossle, if you're going to get the HD2 after all, here's what I can suggest to make the step away from the hardware qwerty as painless as possible:

If you haven't already, go ahead and install a swype keyboard on your TP2 and start getting used to using that input method now. Once you get your HD2, you'll be able to start using it (swype) comfortably right from the start, and that will go a LONG way towards making the transition easier.

Also, I'd start practicing holding your thumb a tiny bit farther away from the screen...it took me almost 2 weeks to make this adjustment (necessary due to the capacitive screen vs the resistive that you have now), but now that I've retrained my joints and muscles it's a much smoother experience...I'm sure that anybody who has made the step up to the HD2 can back me up on this :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] treo...not!:
The deal breaker for me is the abysmal battery life on the HD2 as compared with the TP2. I don't know the real world difference because I only own the TP2. But the rated specs are disheartening. Would anyone who owns both comment?

Hi

ok I am starting a LCARS theme for villain and would like some people to help me, I have done a test dialer to see how it looks and I think its got legs...

I want to do the whole phone and I mean everything, this could be the most complete theme yet.....

Hi

I'm not charging for any of my work just trying to do it for love....

But I am trying to get a few people to help out, at this rate, it will be a whole rom, instead of a theme! but slowly slowly.

I'm using a sample off of LCARS for the colours, which can be changed quite easy... just trying to get the feel together first.

What I really need is a really good Swiss911 font, finding it difficult to find, emailed the guy who did the winmo one and hopefully get some help off of him.

I'm hoping to get some more dev time later in the week to really start work, I also have some people who are making widgets and I have started on 15 of them.... just really need to know what bases people are using, I think it will have to be sense, and not ASOP sorry, will try to port at a later date.

Thanks for all your feedback and please email

as far as I'm aware, he doesn't have a Hero anymore... and there has been no update on VR forums, I've seen. As before, most people find the standard launcher style very difficult to re style into LCARS. While I do not use this anymore, I found the best way to get the desired effect was using SweeterHome. However the app is in Beta (downloadable from website) and has been for quite a long time - thats not to say it hasn't been updated several times tho.... The Market version is really old too.

anyways I made this 1:

[HD2 General] shotguncarreras:
i and many others suffer from audio booster saying it is active but is not adjusting the audio as it should.

but i have found an odd fix for this which is easier than unlocking going into audio booster deactivating then activating it again.

i have found that if you unplug the headphones halfway so that there is no audio emitting through the headphones but the hd2 still recognises the headphones as still being plugged in, then plug them back properly. for some reason the audio booster will kick back in and work again.

i don't know if this will work for you but please report your findings. I have tested and tried this many times and has worked every time.

maybe a dev could look into exploring this further (why the audio booster suddenly kicks back in when the headphones are slightly un plugged then plugged back in) and hopefully find a permanent fix for the audio booster bug.
