I've loved the Excalibur every since it first rested in the palm of my hand, and even more so after installing 6.1 upon it. So, naturally I was pretty psyched when I learned that there was a successor with 3G capabilities and a processor that's twice as fast. Even more psyched when I won the only one I could find on eBay for $133.00
I've really tried pretty hard to find these solutions on my own using the search feature, but to no avail. I have a Dopod and I just flashed 6.1 onto it, and I'm using T-Mobile.
1. No connections are working. WiFi works in my home and office, but I do not know the settings for GPRS and the Wizard doesn't include the U.S. on the list of countries. Also, isn't this phone supposed to be 3G capable? What do I need to do to get 3G working? I am in one of the areas where T-Mobile has 3G coverage.
2. My "A" key is useless. If pressed from the home screen it will actually pull up the list of names that start with A. However, if I actually try to type the letter A into a text or a program, it does nothing but give me a small beep. I read a solution to it in the rom's release thread, however it involved editing the keymap, and unfortunately, I wasn't savvy enough to figure it out on my own.
And, so, I turn to those smarter than I. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
the 3g frequency for tmobile in the USA is i bileave 1700, which is not compatible with the cavalier. I also just bought the only one off of ebay for $100 and am currently waiting for it. I am also on tmobile, but will never get 3g speeds, like i said because of the diffrence in frequencies. The connections settings can be found anywhere, just google it, its also on wiki. depending on whether u have the full internet plan or the 5.99 proxy hack, ur information is gonna be different.

I read the entire thread, I just hadn't had any luck with the only solution anybody had found for the problem.
I've got it working now and I will upload a CAB for the fixed eT9 tegic in case anybody else experiences the same problem.
i use AT&T's 3G network just fine. I also had the A problem and found a find in the link give by cruzzmz a couple posts back. You can find it in there somewhere under my name.

Well, since I can't seem to find any decent information about this, I figured I'd ask around a bit here. Does anyone know if I can use my phone in Japan? I'm going to be over there for the next four years and I have -no- idea what sort of network they use. Can I purchase a prepay SIM? If so, what companies do prepay? If not, what about plans, and what companies? And if you're really feeling adventurous, pricing on the above. Thanks for any information you guys can provide, I just need to know whether to sell my phone or hang onto it.
No it is not possible. There are no GSM networks in JP afaik. However there are a lot of advanced phone in JP for sure.

I could be wrong of course since I've never been to Japan. However I think the one your pointed out are 3G/UMTS/WCDMA networks. It is not downward compatible with GSM phones!
Yeah, I did some more searching around and from what I can tell it's all 3G. Sort of a shame, I'd rather take the hit and use my Excalibur on a prepay SIM rather than use what they offer. Yes, their phones are advanced, and all have videophone capability, high speed data, and can probably even whip up a banana split if you ask them to, but none of them have the sheer power of WM as far as I can tell. I think Softbank offers a Hermes derivative (X01HT?) though, maybe I'll pick up one of those.
No GSM roaming in Japan, however both SoftBank and DoCoMo offer the Hermes, called the X01HT and the hTc Z, respectively. You can't get them on prepaid, though. Prepaid service in Japan is very limited in terms of what types of handsets, etc. When I went back with my 802SE, I was able to use the WCDMA net for voice calls using my T-Mobile SIM, but data were limited to GPRS speeds, and video-call was out of the question.
~Cheers~
P.S. There IS another network there that you would be shocked to know about...
iDEN. They have Nextels in Japan. Why? I don't know.
Yeah I decided a day or two ago that I was going with the Hermes when I get over there.. it looks like Softbank has a $35 USD unlimited data plan as long as it's paired with a voice plan (which go as low as $8). I wonder if it's possible to use Skype for WM on it to call back to the States for minimal cost..? Seems like the phone itself is only $166 for Softbank.. I hear it's considerably higher for DoCoMo but I couldn't find a price for it.
As for iDEN, you couldn't pay me to use that system.
I wanted to revisit this discussion that has crept into a couple of other threads.
I have a Diamond I bought from Hong Kong back in mid-June. I'm in Canada and using the phone on Rogers' network. I'm afraid I don't remember the shipped ROM and radio, but it was one of the early ones.
In spite of other threads that say Diamonds out of Europe and Asia can't use Rogers 3G network, I was definitely able to access it. The download speeds were very fast (I downloaded a 40 MB podcast file in a matter of seconds) and the HSDPA "H" showed regularly (sometimes switching to EDGE in poor reception areas).
I decided to change the ROM a couple of days ago and have tried a number of different ones (Dutty 1.6, HK WWE 1.93.831.1, Elite 3.0) and tried some different radios (v1.00.25.07 and v1.00.25.05) but was never successful in getting HSDPA back and now I can only get EDGE.
I have searched the whole site for useful input on this subject but have yet to see anyone who has had HSDPA on Rogers like me. Was I just lucky or is there no way I could have been getting 3G? Can I get back to the early ROM and radio to see if it would work again (in spite of the slower performance)?
Help would be appreciated.

What kind of hardware of you using? Diamond 130?
I just cant see HTC wasting the money to have 2 different sets of hardware for European and american bands. That would be 2 different assembly lines, sets of workers, etc. But I am getting serioulsy frustrated trying to find out if I can download a Radio that will work with at&t 3g......
I just spoke to an Expansys rep and he said they will be receiving a NA version in 3 weeks, I asked if this was going to be a different hardware version he seemed very sure it was
I still am very skeptical..... for a launch this big, on top of that, at&t is getting the touch pro, and when it comes to htc products, at&t will only sell quadband pocket pc's. I really still doubt this will be different hardware. Especially if the person who posted this already had 3g on their EU diamond until they flashed a different rom.
EDIT* also, it could be he wanted to make a sale when they got them in, rather than you buy a European one now. Just one salespersons point of view.
Here is a link, let me know what you find. These are A BUNCH of the old roms. Let me know which one lets you have the 3g band

I have the same DIAM100, it originally came with 1.93 and I did not even have GSM850 until I flashed latest official ROM with 850Mhz support. But I'm in US and AT&T uses 850Mhz for WCDMA bands here.
I really hope you are right and DIAM100 can pick up 3G bands in NA

Yes, it's a huge ripoff but I was on Rogers site this morning...and I see that they have a promotional package on until Aug. 31. $30 for 6GB...added to your current voice plan. That's not too bad...their current pricing for 5GB is $100/mo.

Blazer, thanks for this link. I spent a while trying out old ROMs but without success. I don't ever remember seeing "3G" but I did get an "H" (I'm not too sure what that means though). I have read through other posts and see that people are successfully getting voice on the 850 band and hoping for UMTS to follow on future radio versions.

I'm using the Rogers $30 for 6GB package and do quite a bit of surfing now and will probably do more audio streaming. I figured that since you have to pay something like $25 for 2 MB, $30 for 6GB is a relatively good deal.

1. Even though bluetooth is advertise in the specs, it does NOT HAVE VOICE COMMAND... you'll have to buy that software separately...
2. WILL NOT RUN ON 3G NETWORK... I could almost live with the first faux pas... but not running on 3G is a deal breaker!!! Youtube stuttered... CNN was horrible...I even downloaded SkyFire... still no help. Called HTC, he said the Taiwanesse phone was not designed for this market. He said the Rom will not accomodate this 3G network.... I'm sending the damn thing back and wait on ATT version... AM I MAKING A MISTAKE? Please answer before I box it up... Len
I am sure I read here somewhere, that the non US versions don't support 3G. You may want to read some other threads to verify yourself though.

Are you blind or just being lazy to read?? Posts of european version of TP2 is not compatible w/ AT&T 3G is all over here (it's even listed on HTC official website). Who could you blame if you are not doing research before you purchase???
did you read anything about this phone before buying it?
Can he actually read?
ok ok that was a lame one ..
but yes, you should do research about these things before buying it.
for the xperia as example they have an Xi and an Xa a for US and i for europe.

You seem the type to buy a car from the U.K and ship it to the U.S and then complain that the steering wheel is on the wrong side of the car.
are you kidding me?! where have you been the past few months? its been stated multiple times in this forum that th euro version doesn't run US 3G. and why would you buy a phone without researching it first? if you knew the US 3G bands and compared them to what the euro TP2 uses, then you would have known. and its not the ROM that doesn't support it. its the hardware on the phone. people who don't read and search and do research annoy the s*** out of me.
You don't just buy a phone because it looks cool.
So you are an American then I will swap you my X1a (works with ATT 3G), including original Box, including extra 3600 extended mugen battery, and Samsung SCH-I760 for your phone.

I wrongly presumed that pretty much anybody buying a TP2 would know how bluetooth works... I really had to laugh at this one, sorry about that.
How can you think that 'bluetooth' reads 'voice command'. Bluetooth just means bluetooth, nothing more, nothing less, just bluetooth.
It's like buying a car advertised as a manual gearbox (stick shift) and then complaining "where's the twin turbo and NOS!?"

yeah, but you do not have 3G though.
if the European TP2 could run on 3G here in the states i would already have one.
people don't realize that EDGE data really isn't THAT bad. I've been using it for a couple of days just to see how slow it really is, and it's actually pretty fast. sure, it's not as fast as 3G, but it's decent. and besides, an unlocked TP2 still has Wi-Fi capability, and in most cases Wi-Fi is faster than 3G. if I had the money, I'd buy the unlocked version and save myself the stress of waiting for it to come out for ATT
EDGE is fine for US networks compared to the overcrowded WCDMA that AT&T is currently touting. They need a major upgrade at some point. Most iPhone users have been getting dropped down to EDGE speeds without realizing it since they don't ever check their bandwidth. Same thing happens with most WM users in the US. On a good day, you'll get 1.2Mbps but on a bad day you'll end up with 60kbps T_T. In any case, the US should come out of the CDMA stoneage and get on the same good networks like the rest of the world. It's funny but I get higher speed everywhere else in the world except in the US. Consistency is key.

I agree. I've had 3G on my Xperia and my Tilt and I can't say i'm dying cause on edge. With push pages it helps a lot. I know that even after having it for a while i would still buy it again and recommend it to anyone even on edge.

Words escape me.... but there had to be a first, but congratulations Lenstar, you are the first..
On a serious note.. have you tried switching to the 2100 WCDMA frequency?
Not totally sure of the options on the TP2, but i believe under the network settings there should be an option to scan for a different network.
The Taiwanese HTC web site states that the Taiwanese version of the handset is built for European and Asian 3G networks running at 900 and 2,100 MHz.
...not to mention the sorry battery life that 3g get you even if it were fast all the time i would struggle with keeping it on because ei use my tp2 all the time for work and pleasure and i would have to charge it twice a day if i used 3g

I 2nd that
Hi all..
I have found and read the instructions as it relates to flashign a phone to cricket... I am an old GSM guy here, not too familiar with CDMA things... But Cricket is runnign a special this weekend where it is only $25 a month for unlimited talk & txt.. I think this would be great for my son as a cheap cell phone.. Here are my questions:
Would Cricket need to know that I flashed a phone from another carrier?
Do I need ot buy one of their phones in the first place?
Anyone who has done this in the past, I would value your input.... I am just a little lost here on this.. thanks
In CDMA technologies, the user account gets compared to the ESN of the phone that you are trying to use. Lets say that you programmed your phone (MIN, MDN, flashed PRL, etc). The tower will see all the settings from your account and it will look at the ESN as well, if all this information matches to what they have on the records, you will have no problem in using this phone with Cricket.
Why am I saying this? Because, you will have to let them know about the ESN of your new device. They need to add it to their database and under your account as well for you to be able to use it. I know that MetroPCS charges you ~$50 to do this, I am not certain about Cricket though. You may want to call them up and ask if you can have your Vogue flashed over to their system. I have read countless threads of people having flashed their Vogues to Cricket, so I guess it is possible.
Good luck!
Thanks for the reply...
Here is the issue (or question).. I live in a new "triband only" cricket market (Chicago/Milwaukee area).. I have read that, to work, the phone needs to use the 1700AWS frequency... I know in the "old" cricket areas you don;t need this... Will the Vogue work here? Sorry for all the questions.. I just don;t want to buy the phone and then not be able to use it...
According to the specs, the Vogue is only dual band (800 and 1900 MHz). You can see them here. If that is the case, then you might not be able to use it. Just check with them to be on the safe side. You can also look for people on the Cricket network on other forums and see if someone is using this device in the Chicago area. Good luck!
not sure about your city/are specifically but in Austin TX i was able to take a HTC Vogue (Sprint Touch) and fully flash it over. Phone, SMS, MMS, Data, Tethering, and I even found a guide for GPS (have not tried yet).
All works fine. They only issue I really have is that the DATA seems kinda crap at times. It says its at full EVDO/3G but sometimes i have to perform a manual disconnect/reconnect to jumpstart data again.
When I flash to a "non cricket" rom though I lose Tethering ability. Trying to find a guide on the settings myself so I can go back to NSFans 6.5 ROM.
Sorry for the bad news. Unfortunately there are no HTC phones available at this time that you can flash and have work in the Chicago area. That area is a AWS 1700 MHZ market and there are no CDMA HTC devices that support that technology. I would recommend that you purchase a cricket branded phone. If you are looking for a Windows phone take a look at Metro's line up. They have a Samsung that is tri band and WM powered. Also crickets new phone that is PDA like will be out tomorrow at cricKet Corp stores.
Hi guys... Im from Panama and i have a question let tell a little background
Here in Panama we have 2 providers that have LTE and uses band 28 this is why i bought my zenfone from taiwan with band 28 reception... this is the problem i put my sim card from one of the provider and guess what didnt got LTE and they told me is becuase is my phone that is not allow in their network (they are selling phone which is LTE ready according to them) But i friend of my put his simcard of his samsung S6 from the second company (uses the same 28 band) and my phone got LTE rightaway... So is somthing the provider can do to stop phones coming from outside getting LTE? Right now my phone is getting HSPA+ that is H+ but nothing else
And in the screenshot my phone is detecting the network which is the first LTE that you see. The second LTE with Forbidden is from the other company from which my friend have his simcard..
Thanks for the help

mmm, should you probe further to your Service provider on why it is not allow, could it be that your version was the TD-LTE? which only china has? they use difference accessing method.
the possibility of SP locking the network base on phone is rare as they need to spend extra server to cater for such banning and this does not goes into their profit and Ike customer in general. It could also be that your sim card does not have LTE function. this function is stored in HSS ( HLR) where all your services are known in the network.
Check further then post here. seem to me it is more of your sim account issue.
i post tomorrow im going to talk to my provider and hear what they have to say
Thanks for the interest

Hi good evening , well i came back and I talk to my provider this time the guy told me that my phone should work withouth any problem since it uses the same LTE band as they do which is band 28. He told me that aparently they have to activate something in their network in order for my phone to get LTE signal so they will be calling me tomorrow to tell me if I need to do somthing else. I ask him if i need to use a contract or if prepaid work too. And he told me that it also work with a prepaid service. He told me that my simcard is LTE ready and should not have any problems but told me that they will investigate. Also they dont use TD-LTE.
I will post a soon as I have the answer from them

dont trust your telecom, some truth are not allow to tell customer about, i work for 7 years for 2 different telecom.
if your phone is TD-LTE, you can never connect to your network no matter what, just see it as a door with a wrong key
if it is FD-LTE, it is most likely the settings on your profile is not provisioned, the Customer service may tell you they see it is up but in fact the system that they are reading the data from MAY not be unified with the back-end servers.
It may also because someone in-experience have wrongly provision your SIM profile.
Lastly it could be then handset is faulty with LTE service.
the best way is to call up the telecom with another phone and proposed a testing right when he/she is attending to you. ask them to forward the testing time/ MSISDN to the supporting engineering for wireshark trace. they CAN straight away tell you what problem you encounter.
you are at least someone in the forum that listen and understand truth. some others in another part of the forum are stubborn as hell..
hope you gotten the FD phone and it works for you.

It may also because someone in-experience have wrongly provision your SIM profile.
Lastly it could be then handset is faulty with LTE service.
the best way is to call up the telecom with another phone and proposed a testing right when he/she is attending to you. ask them to forward the testing time/ MSISDN to the supporting engineering for wireshark trace. they CAN straight away tell you what problem you encounter.
you are at least someone in the forum that listen and understand truth. some others in another part of the forum are stubborn as hell..
hope you gotten the FD phone and it works for you.

Thank you very much for all these usefull information you are giving me that you gain from your expirience I really apriciate all your help and kwoledge and this will help me explain my self better when i have to talk with them.
I came here becuase there a lots of thing i still need to learn about telecomunication and bands in general (Im actually studing medicine but this calls my attention)
Well i im sure that I got a FD phone because with the second telecom (the one that my friend uses) my phone got the LTE right away so im sure thats not the problem and becuase it got LTE im sure that my phone is working all good.
Since the phone is FD then the most like thing is happening is that they havent afiliate the services correctly (that what the guy from the telecome told me) and that technicians will set up that in their side. They will call me tomorrow and tell me whats happening.
He also told me that aparently there have to be a second registration of the data service which is the one for the LTE that hasnt been done and this could be the reason of the problem.
The only thing is about the testing you you are telling me. Let me see if a got it right. Tell them to foward the time/MSISDN (its the phone numer) to engineering to wireshark trace (this is for looking that the connection and the setups are correct and the case they are not then look where is the problem if in their side or my side)
Again thank you very much. Really apriciate your help and im came here to learn and maybe some else with the same problem have the answer here
Good night

let me put it in this way
1) call up your telco and during the call,tell them that you will be performing a test for packet transfer on your phone now.
2) just try to manually connect to their LTE network by search.
3) let them know the time range that you are doing this (eg. 14:00 to 14:05)
4) get them to let the back end engineer do his/her work tracing > SGSN signalling > DPD context.
5) wait till they come back with you on the details why is it not working for you.
the handset send a signal to the radio (UTRAN) and request a data service (LTE), in this case it the radio will forward this request to the SGSN to S Gateway( just take it as signalling module), if everything is okay, it will inform the UTRAN ok to set up tunnel (in layman context, it is the traffic medium) > so P Gateway will directly link from user UTRAN to it and out to the web via PDP context.
hope this is not heavy for you, in between there are firewalls which the network engineer is able to pick up where the data is dropping for your case.
oh i see that you are going to be a medical personnel, all you need to know is that radio are everywhere and there are some instrument that is using certain band of frequency which will interupt (crosstalk) to your instrument.
the normal cases are WiFi band as it is under free band and medical usage.
For cellular, it does not matter. the reason why hospital ban it in sensitive area is because folks in the older days are using analog signal for transmission (ASK,FSK,PSK) these are to determine the data status of any radio instrument. however nowadays, we no longer use them and systems are all digitized. so it doesnt matter if you broadcast radio in sensitive room because we are using higher tech like QAM64 etc.
lastly the reason why medical still insisted that no radio in the sensitive room is all because... changing of something might affect something else, even if they know what i said, they worry that other stuff might complicate. look at Airport during flight, it is the same reason, handphone can switch on during flight but they say no. its the same reason.
The top management knows nothing and the engineers is reluctance to set things right, too much work to do.
you can read more into those, i know pilot also need to learn about these too!
hi good night im still waiting for them to reply so i think they will call me on monday. When i contact them ill ask them to do this test you are telling me and ill get back with you as soon as i have results.. Thanks and have a good night
hello a came back and with good news. The lady sold me the wrong sim card and they also had to activate LTE services. Now everything its working great thanks for the help sooty84.
Right now im getting 25Megabites pes sec down 20 megabite up i think its because LTE network is new
I think this can be mark with resolve
Hey great! glad to help
