[Hero, G2 Touch General] MickyLuv:
Thanks,

the straight answer from o2 is that the phone is not blacklisted. This seemed like a genuine, considered and helpful response, so it probably wasn't a fob-off but who knows for sure? Maybe I should get that response in writing before I pay to have the phone repaired, if such a repair is a realistic possibility.

Do radio versions become obsolete as they're superceded by newer ROMs?

I ask because from what you suggest above, it seems that wiping the phone yesterday and installing the official Orange 2.73.61.66 ROM, would've installed afresh the radio version associated with that ROM, which still had the phone showing "no service" after the installation.

Maybe installing the very newest ROM will have a better effect.

Because I'm not yet managing to pinpoint the solution, some details of the "No Service" fault might shed enough light for someone to suggest the cause.

Yesterday morning there was "No Service" using the o2 SIM which had been working OK for 4 months. Replaced the SIM with an Orange one, which worked for 10 minutes, allowing calls and texts both ways, then the Orange SIM began to display the "No Service" message constantly after this short period of functionality. This is what made me think that some sort of blacklist process was being introduced by stages, rather than it being a direct functioning/non-functioning hardware or software fault state.

Mike
[Hero, G2 Touch General] MickyLuv:
Completed the 2 part update of 2.1 Orange ROM to see if that would fix the "No Service" problem but no improvement.

I recently found a thread where someone with a HTC Dream pulled the phone apart and reseated the antennae wires to successfully recover from a constant "No Service" problem.

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/4468-antenna-replacement/

Maybe the Hero is sufficiently similar for me to carry out this kind of remedy.

Perhaps I should try to get written confirmation that the phone isn't blacklisted before stripping down the hardware.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] captainstu72:
Sounds like you may want to phone orange before opening the phone. I think they have blacklisted the sim or the phone. You may well still have some form of manufacturers guarantee from HTC also.

it was Orange locked, unlocked to o2, worked fine. When you put in an Orange sim, it then decided to say no service. To me, it seems that either didn't like that Orange sim, so have blocked that, or didn't like the phone being on their network, so blocked that. Possible the phone could be an insurance scam, or that the SIM could have been registered as stolen or something (albeit incorrectly).

07973100150 from a landline / other phone. They should hopefully be able to help.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ibnabatoot:
as above, it sounds like it is an insurance scam, where they sell the phone then wait a while and tell the company that it is lost.

its a big problem with buying phones off of ebay; you never know if your phone will eventually be blocked or not.

http://www.checkmend.com/uk/

that is the site that the met police recommend you use to find out if a phone is stolen.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] MickyLuv:
I called Orange and they told me that the phone is blacklisted as it

has been reported "stolen or lost". Orange said that contacting eBay

and resolving the matter through them would get the blacklisting

lifted.

I spent most of the rest of the morning trying to negotiate the eBay

online resolution procedure but it doesn't recognise items bought in

April.

I telephoned to speak to an eBay person and contacted a lady who told

me that the 45 day dispute period was over and my only recourse was to

take the matter to the police.

Maybe there is a PayPal resolution possible so I'll try there next.

I don't see a lot of point in trying to contact the seller under the

circumstances.

Regards,

Mike
[Hero, G2 Touch General] btdag:
Don't contact the seller. I would leave it to Orange and contact the police as well.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] captainstu72:
Definately phone the police, The seller has commited fraud, or had originally stolen the device themselves. I'm shocked at eBay, they should be helping with this due to fact that, again, it is fraud / theft, disregarding the 45 day policy. I'd see if you can phone again and get someone more understanding.

I agree with btdag, definatley don't contact the seller.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
Remember to keep records of all correspondence with police/eBay etc, as this will likely turn out to be insurance fraud, where the seller has reported the phone stolen or lost. By reporting this to the police, along with your proof of purchase from the seller (ideally paypal information showing seller's address), they should be satisfied you actually purchased it, and will likely end up chasing up the insurance company that paid out.

The seller will likely end up being done for insurance fraud here, so make sure you don't do anything which could prejudice legal proceedings, like contacting them. This is a matter for the police now.

Just my $0.02
[Hero, G2 Touch General] MickyLuv:
Thanks for all the good and detailed advice. It's more convincing for the fact that everyone is offering a similar opinion.

There's just one aspect of the situation I'm concerned about. This is based on the suggestion by some people elsewhere, that the blacklisting by Orange could be a mistake. Something that is not uncommon it seems. I'd like to ensure that the blacklisting is not a mistake before I approach the police on this matter.

Once I'm convinced that the blacklisting is for a genuine reason, I'll follow the advice given here with gusto.

Regards,

Mike
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ibnabatoot:
use the checkmend site to make sure its actually stolen.

its recommended by the police, after calling orange its your other real alternative in finding out.

i cant see how it is oranges mistake. if it was a fault with your sim, fair enough, but you tried with a different network, no?

personally i wouldnt bother with the police. id just resell it on ebay as faulty and chalk it down to a lesson learnt and never buy a phone off of ebay again.

thats just me though.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tj80:
This happened to me when I bought an MDA Vario 2 (HTC Hermes) from eBay. ebay won't help as the seller just waits for a few months before committing the fraud. I tried eBay and Paypal with no success, and reported to the Police who were predictably uninterested. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I'm afraid you're stuffed - lesson learnt, I don't buy phones from eBay any more. T-Mobile customer services told me that it's very common, and that if you buy a second hand phone you should ring the network and register it as yours - that way if someone else tries to report it as "lost" the network won't do it.

I am trying to set up my EVO to automaticly retreive my email but I have no success, can anyone help me with it

I have Optonline

what do I use 1. Exchange ActiveSync

2. POP3/IMAP

the first I had no success

with IMAP I was only succesfull to send out email but not retreive??
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bludragon742:
Your provider has to support POP3 or IMAP (recommended) for incoming mail and SMTP for outgoing. Call them to see if they do and to get specific details. If you want them to walk you through it, they should be able to tell you what to put where. Make sure you use the "Mail" app and not the "GMail" app for this, or just get K9. Good luck!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bklynfire:
I have sprint and optonline, when you wrote provider, u meant mobile provider or email provider?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topdawgn8:
He meant email provider. Here's the information you need from them (usually you can find this online--Google's your friend)

Incoming/Outgoing Settings:

1. User Name

2. Password

3. Incoming Server

4. Security Settings (if applicable)

5. Port number

I like to use IMAP over pop3 because it reads the items and leaves the items on the server so I have the same things between my phone and outlook. Pop3 will download the mail to your phone.

Edit:

I just did a quick search and found this.

incoming server mailhost.optonline.net with port address of 110

outgoing mailhost.optonline.net with port address at 587

By the looks of it, I think the outgoing port 587 is usually associated with SSL, so make sure that is selected in the drop down menu. If not, just change it back to none.

Edit2:

If those don't work, try these directly from their site:

http://optimum.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/optimum.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=39

Those may or maynot work since you are coming from a mobile platform. I use Charter and you cannot get to your email unless you are connected to their network or you connect to their mobile servers.

So, I've flashed to Cyanogen 6.0.0 RC1. This removes the HTC Facebook stuff. The one thing I liked about the HTC Facebook stuff was that it allowed you to manually link Facebook contacts when the names didn't exactly match.

I might try this today and see what happens.

I was playing around with fresh 3.1.0.1 yesterday all day. I've also messed around with stock rooted 2.2.

Since I changed my sprint number and got the google voice that I wanted, I've been sending everyone through gv instead of the direct number.

I've been experimenting with the stock mms app in stock, fresh, and cm rc 1 & 2. I've also tested handcent and google voice app. What I'd like to do is use the stock mms or handcent for texting and sending attachments to other people through mms BUT use my gv number instead of my real number.

Like if I sent you a pic or sound clip, I want my texting program to send it to you but display my gv # in your from field. Also, if you sent me an attachment to my gv number with mms app, I'd get it.

I tried testing different ways of sending texts and attachments between gv app, handcent, and stock mms. From one to the other and even looped back to myself with the to and from number being the same. I found out yesterday that the stock mms app in the newest fresh looks way different than any other stock app I've seen. One cool thing about it is I can send a message from it and it tel ls the recipient that its from the gv number. Only problem is with this is that it seems a gv number cannot receive attachments period.

The new cm6rc2's mms app only displays my real phone number if you receive something sent from it.

Had anyone else played around with this thing before? What have you found out with your testing?

I can watch live Tv on my phone but im a bit confused because when u buy any tv equipment here in the uk ....set top boxes/freeview, tv,s ect they do a check to see if you have a tv licence! Im obviostly missing somethig here so if someone could enlighten me that be nice, ( im basicaly asking why they didnt do a check when i downloaded it to my phone....BTW im not bothered im just curious)

Paul.
[Touch HD General] handsomedog:
The main reason is that you don't need a seperate TV licence for a phone, as it is covered by your main TV licence (comes under the excemption "Any device powered solely by its own internal batteries")

Plus the law requires shops to take address details and pass them onto TV licencing, but does not do the same for software downloads.
[Touch HD General] mr london:
handsomedog......thanks for the reply! but......."as it is covered by your main TV licence"......how do they know?

Paul. (sorry to go on! as i said before im not bothered just curious)
[Touch HD General] handsomedog:
They don't know, they just expect you would have a licence at your main address. Forget detector vans, the main way they enforce this is to simply knock on the door of every address without a licence.

As the number of people using a mobile as their only souce of live TV is close to zero, it's probably not worth their time checking, likewise they don't check for a licence when you stream live TV over the web on BBC iplayer.

The cost of checking you are properly licenced for iplayer/mobile apps would hugely outweigh the revenue stream they would gain from it.
