WIFI => HTC P3300 variant (MDA 3 Compact) - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hi all,
Firstly, I think this is an excellent phone!
I have the T-Mobile variant (MDA compact 3) but I was gutted today when I found out that T-Mobile de-activated WIFI on it.
Apparently it can be activated ... is there any truth to this? Is there any way to get WIFI working on this phone? Are there any firmware upgrades or similar available?
Thanks alot,
Porac69

theres no wifi chip inside the device. cant be activated through software since theres nothing to activate.

Is it OK to have Tmobile radiostack 6.21 with AT&T servi

Hi,
I have problem with my AT&T official radiostack A.20.10. I got drop frequently. In the same location, the phone couldn't pickup any signal when another Nokia working just fine. I wonder if upgrading to Tmobile radio stack will help.
Which radiostack is better for international compatibility A.20.10 or 6.21?
Thanks

To answer you question, Yes! :wink:

If a single operator don't work...

Hi to everybody!
I love this forum becouse there are a lot of kind peolple and becouse i usually found here the answers to my question
I bought a T-Mobile MDA (htc hermes, tytn) with simlock. i used the unlocker in the same way i did with the hermes of my girlfriend. Now my sim is accepted, but at home i have no signal. my operator is WIND (italy) and it can be discovered and fixed if I go outside.. At my home Wind signal is well as i can see by other phones with wind simcards. when i look for networks on the hermes, it says there are the two other italian networks (TIM and Vodafone) but not the one i need. the problem appear only with wind simcards and other sim works well. i've changed the radio rom with upper and lower, but the problem is the same. can someone help me? thanks a lot!
in the start/systems/settings/device information, what is the radio version? is it wm5.0 or 6?
now is 1.50.00.00 but before i used the lastest (1.56.70.11) with the same results. wm6 pro original by t-mobile. thanks for your attention!

i used radio rom 1.47.00.10 but it's the same... in the same desk my htc hermes and my nokia 9500, both with a Wind Simcard: the nokia fully working, the other one says "no service" :-( but my answer is why only with sim of this brend?

and you swapped sim cards?
I have two different sim by wind and i swapped them, but the one in the htc phone never works. if I put another sim, like a Tim or Vodafone sim, it works well! damn.. :-( in the same place, htc can't discover Wind Network and Nokia or other phones can (and i found the maximum signal power..)

In the phone pannel of the settings there is a bands page, make sure its on automatic.
yes both first and second options are on "auto"...
well the only thing i can think of is wind is still a growing network, link didn't work the nokia would probably pick up the E900 frequency, compared to the hermes only GSM900/1800 which is still expanding, as you said outside your house it works OK. You'd have to wait and see I guess how the expansion is going.
dear zocster, Wind is a big italian mobile company, and the same sim card in the phone of my girlfriend (the same htc hermes, t-mobile branded too) works perfectly!!! :-( do you think i should ask to an htc tech center? i'm so sad... ;-) thanks a lot for your time, and thanks to veyka too!
I HAVE A NEWS: if u use a H3G sim on my HTC HERMES (www.tre.it) my phone discover only the roaming network and not the H3G network... can this new info be useful to understand what's going on to my phone?

Diamond 3G works on IDEA, VODAFONE but not AIRTEL

hi friends.
i have diamond 2g india version. i also wanted to buy diamond 3g. a friend of mine is offering me diamond 3g which is security unlocked but am not sure if its sim unlocked. only vodafone and idea networks worked on it and not airtel. so i tried updating its radio to 1.11 and also its rom to swtos lite and now even vodafone and idea is not working on it.
that is no operator network works on it now. what do i do.? also i wanted to tell u that this model is the testing model which htc released to ppl who review the device before its launched. does it makes any difference?
also is it sure that it is sim locked and OLIPRO's sim unlocker will solve my problem?
?? help plzzzz!!
i am sorry . idk bout the 3g ... try with another 3g phone
Airtel's GSM Network frequency is different than that of Voda / Idea and BPL.
if ur device could work on voda and idea that means it is already unlocked. Just try and insert another sim and confirm that.
Also I would suggest Radio 1.08.25.20 which is quite stable.

I recently went to India and took my unlocked UK Diamond there and it worked on ALL three of those networks. I just left the network frequency/band on AUTO.

Help! - using UK Compact IV on At&T NY???

Hi
I've had a Compact IV/HTC Diamond for a good while now. Very familiar with flashing roms/radios etc, and looking for advice.
Wanted to use the phone with a AT&T sim whilst in NY,
Phone is fully unlocked and tested in UK, but when I put a PAYG AT&T sim in NY it just states that phone isnt ready and no network is found.
I suspect that this might be down to the RADIO ROM - looking for somone to point me in the right direction to a suitable radio if this is the case...
GSM is available in the area according to at&t website, so rules out the WCDMA (UK) vs CDMA2000 (US)...
Phone will now be mainly used in NY on AT&T if I can get it working with your help... (father in-law just moved out there with one of my diamonds!!)
Help? Thoughts? any help/comments appreciated
Thanks

ROM for 3 network

Hi, recently I signed up for 3. Doing that I received a Sony Ericsson phone. However, I would like to use my old HTC touch Diamond, where I have Telia as operator. The phone is unlocked but when I plugg in my simcard, the phone can not find it. As I understand, one needs a 3 ROM in order to use the diamond with 3, is that correct? Or are there any hacked ROMs that are better than 3's that one can download.
Hi,
I own a HTC Diamond and am using it with a 3 UK simcard with no problems at all. I bought unlocked and I've even been using some of the ROMs available around here. Never had any problems with any of them. I'm not an expert and I may be wrong, but it sounds like you don't have your mobile properly unlocked. Did you try any other simcard on it after unlocking it? Are you using 3 UK or another 3 network?
Location?
CDMA or 'normal' Diamond?
any original ROM can use any network
The phone was bought in Sweden at a store that sells them for any operator. I'm using 3 Sweden at the moment.
How do I check if the phone is a CDMA or 'normal' Diamond?
must be normal - CDMA isnĀ“t used in sweden...
any actual rom should work for you......
Have you tried to connect to your network manually?
But the phone says that the simcard is not working.
