I can't find anything on the phone to activate it, can anyone help?
Also where is the MSN Messenger program?
Thanks in Advance
Daz.

????Was there something about every post above yours, the link provided, and the 100's of times this question was asked before you didn't understand?
Just look at the chaps location before putting someone down - T-Mobile did indeed leave the WiFi fitted to the Artemis they sell in Holand, it is only in "rip off Britain where they can get away with a stunt like this, probably because we are all stupid enough to pay for the Web-N-Walk as an extra (me included) - Mike

Thanks for the review Mike, but the OP is not in Holland, nor does the post we are referring to, discuss the differences in devices. It tells him to go to his connections settings to find WiFi on his device. This is purely incorrect as had been stated before.
I need help please. It's not my service! (TMobile) It's my TP2. The signal is w-e-a-k! I drop calls all the time in my house now. I never used to do that with my s710.
Please, someone...is there something I can change in my settings? can i download something? I need to make this signal stronger. I did not pay all this $$ to have all these dropped calls. Can I change the "radio" or something? I think I read something about that, but I am such a noob. Please, someone guide me!
Thanks
Not sure if this will help as I am in UK.
I have just switched provider and discovered I don't get signal at home so went to Settings, Communications, Phone, Advanced, Band and changed network type from Auto to Gsm.
Don't need the 3G, data connection or whatever as have pc at home and get reasonable signal with phone forced to gsm.
I appreciate the reply, but that will not work for me. I use the data connection daily.
Any other possibilities people? Please. I am so desperate.
Does anyone have a solution ? Would a hard reset help? I don't want to start from scratch.
have you tried switching back from 3G to 2G? because if you get a constant 2G signal then it pretty much sums up that 3G signal is weak in your area.
Thanks. I don't even have 3g in my area right now. So that factor is out of the picture.
Will unfortunately have to wait for HARDSPL and new radio stacks.
There are signal boosters that you can buy off the net, no idea how efficent they are though.
Cheers,
Beasty
lol, Beast, thats exactly what I was going to say, a new radio helps in many cases. At least it did when I had my Dash.
On other news, looks like T-Mo let us down again, at least US buyers. No details were posted on their site concerning the TP2, as I posted earlier that was supposed to happen today. At least not yet. Oh well, only 4 days 'til Wednesday!!!!!!
edit: And @ Beast, or anyone who knows. Does the TP2 have an external antenna port? I use a signal booster, but used to have the external antenna adapter plugged in to my Dash. My next door neighbor is getting the TP2 also but doesn't want to ditch out the $200-$300 for a signal booster. I am going to give him my old setup if the TP2 has an external antenna port.
Thanks for the replies guys. I will wait for the HARDSPL. I will also be asking someone to hold my hand at that time b/c I have never done that process before. I am new to all of this flashing this and that stuff, but willing to learn.
how in the world are all you people getting the Tp2 so early? i assume it is not from T-mobile.
Got mine through Mobile Phones Direct It's available from a number of sources, in fact, including - gasp shock horror - Amazon (link!)
I am having reception problems too. I have a TP2 and a mytouch mytouch gets 3 bars tp2 gets 1 and goes in and out of 3g.
Select tmobile employees got the tp2 about 5 weeks ago ...roughly 5 in each market
so this could be the start of many people's reception problems...i wonder what will be done about it on the HTC end? Tmobile end? SHould be interesting.

the USA T-mobile Touch pro2?
Ah, no, not that one, sorry, didn't cotton on to your being in the USA - sorry
As to radio reception, anyone else got GPS receive problems at the moment? I've compared reception between the TP2 and my old iPAQ hw6915, and for the first fortnight, the TP2 outperformed the 6915: Now its the other way around - massively - the TP2 cannot seem to hold a lock on GPS, rendering the entire system useless.
Any ideas?
GPS Hotfix
HTC have recently issued a Hotfix for the GPS on the TP2.
Head over to the HTC support site. May fix your problems.

They probably have the UK version, or Telus version, or....etc. I know the UK version will not work in the states. Well, nix that, it will work, but will not get T-Mob's 3G when and if we see 3G. (At least in my area, lol) You can only get the 2G.
On a side note, has anyone seen the T-Mobile version. I think it is ugly compared to the UK version. Da** T-Mobile, always changing things.

Ah, it is not so techy. Tecky? hmm, got to think on the word there. I guess what I am trying to say is it is not a very complicated process. I was very apprehensive to flash my first ROM, but the first went so well, I don't think I could have asked for more. Just follow the guides and it should go smoothly. I flashed many ROM's on my (now gone) Dash. Let me put it in perspective though. I now own (sad to say) a BlackBerry, and with that you have to go through many complicated steps. However, I am getting the TP2, and that is one of the reasons. Flashing ROM's on the HTC device is a lot easier. After the first you will become Old Hand at it.
You should wait for the HardSPL, though, I think that is why mine went so smooth the first time. These guys are geniuses. They will have a solution before long. Listen to them and keep updated. They are willing to help, which is more than I can say for Crackberry dot com. Ooops sorry for the reference there. But you get flamed there for knowing a whole lot of nothing. Here, however, they might flame you, but lead you in the right direction.
Good luck and welcome to the Rhodium/Touch Pro2
k, thanks folks

Errr, now I don't understand the original signal problem. If there are no 3G coverage then IMHO you'd better switch to 2G (GSM only). It will spare your battery too, I think

Well I got it working now still says voicestream. But now a deal breaker can not get blue tooth to turn on that stinks.. really wanted to use it..
Guess I download the new energy rom. if some gets it to work hope to hear about it...
what did you do to get it working I have no data connections. and mine says voicestream.
Thanks for your help
There is a whole topic explaining how to get android working and what works and what doesn't.
Go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=627997
Also as of right now what does not work are:
Bluetooth
Camera
External Speaker.
Full nonhacked sleep
A lot more bugs.
You should be able to find the answer in the link I gave you
Good luck.
Voicestream
Well, Reasons behind why it still says voicestream is once upon a time, T-Mobile was called voicestream before the German telecom bought them out, Network still reports in some ways as voicestream, Phone might just be picking up that. Not a real issue though.
I actually noticed this going from PA to NYC this weekend. In the rural areas of PA it would jump to Voicestream (not T-mobile, even though it's really the same) and I would lose data connection for a while. I switched over to WM and it was fine, phone and data worked and showed T-Mobile. There is some discrepency about verifying the network which is odd.
Hey there guys,
firstly i would like to apologise if this has been asked before, but i have indeed tried many things in the forums and nothing is working..
i have just purchased a telstra branded HTC desire [outright] 2 days ago from JB HIFI, the salesman said its unlocked and i assumed its all good.
I can definately send/recieve calls and sms, BUT i cannot connect to the net for browsing unless im at home in my wifi area... i dont get it.. its like the device is a half locked phone, calls/sms -ok, internet-no only to telstra
i have a vodafone [prepaid sim] and i was able to browse and recieve emails and so on with my nokia e63 on prepaid with no issue whatsoever. This is my first android phone and im feeling a little lost/stumped with it and taken advantage of with half truths from the salesman at JB HIFI. Im sure they would know about this, i did make it clear and stress out it is a non telstra sim and that its prepaid.
if anyone can kindly assist me with a post or email, with a brief step by step instruction on how you got it working i would really appreciate it. this is indeed all new to me.
thankyou kindly
Please check do you have an apn in wireless settings, if not, add one
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Hi all,
Not sure whats relevant so here's the bit. I cannot get any cellular data service on my brand new desire. Phone calls and WiFi have both worked perfectly well.
I ordered a Desire A8182 unlocked from some place in Canada. I then immediately moved to the UK and got a pay as you go service with O2. I also got the data bolt-on. module.. tariff... something. Anyway, there is no cellular data, no icons, nothing to indicate functionality or life out of the cellular data antennae except the mobiles networks menu which says it should be on and working. I bought some vodaphone credit and a tech spent almost an hour trying his best to make it work but with no luck. He referred me to here. I'm beginning to worry this phone I bought may be damaged, maybe not physically but possibly corrupted firmware? Is there anyway to tell what is the problem with my phone?
thanks ahead
