Run AT&T tilt as HTC tytn 2

Hi.
I recently bought a AT&T tilt unlocked.
My problem is that the HTC 8925 from AT&T is not availble in Australia.
Only the HTC Tytn 2 is available over here. The HTC 8925 does not have all
the settings and tabs needed for the set up to work with the Australian 3G
network.
My service provider is useless because they only have the set ups for HTC
tytn 2 and HTC australia will not help me because its a problem i have
with AT&T so i should take it up with them, that is impossible to do since
there is no AT&T help lines in australia.
Ive used a HTC tytn 2 over here and its a dream, i was wondering is there
any way to remove ALL AT&T influences in the HTC 8925 and set it to run
exactly the same as a HTC tytn 2. If i can do that the settings for
configuring my HTC 8925 should be available and i can have my service
provider do that for me.
Right now all i can do is use the HTC 8925 as a normal phone without
internet connections which kinda makes it feel redundant.
i know essentially the HTC 8925 is in many way the Tytn 2. But in Australia its simple as this, 1 works and the other doesnt.

Wiki, Wiki, Wiki............ Flash with a new ROM................

Austrailian 3G settings for most Service Providers.

Hope that helps. Good Luck.

thanks.
i thought i would need to flash it, i just dont know how to do it and im worried i might brick the phone.

any suggestion on an 'ideal' rom?

i got it all to work fine n dandy now.
thanks mate.

Want to flash my HTC 8925 Tilt.
I have a similar problem in Jamaica and everyone I call is hopeless.
I've just received the unlock code from AT&T, but only AFTER the Unlock shops Jamaica unlocked the fone for calls only and not for data, and I so desparately want to use the internet on a Digicel Network.
I'm seem to be bashing my head against a brick wall as no one really knows what I'm talikng about.
ANY HELP ASAP?
Thx Karen

UK Release date / GSM exclusivity

Hey does anyone know if any networks are claiming exclusivity to the Touch Pro 2 in the UK and even when its likely to be with the different GSM companies.
My TyTnII is getting very worn down and I dont fancy buying a second SIM-free phone to get the Pro2 to replace it.

i am also (and for a looooong time) eagerly awaiting the answer to this question!
my kaiser looks like it got imported from the classic starwars era, or has just been fighting the taliban in afghanistan, call buttons are just red or green haphazard scratches and the windows start button...lol its not even there anymore!

Mobilegazette have it hitting t-mobile in the UK, Germany, Netherlands, Austria and Czech Republic in June.
Orange retentions UK, confirmed it's on their list of coming soon but no specific date.

O2 release
Any word on an o2 release as i cant see why it wouldnt but would be nice to know that i dont have to change networks to get it.
Then again o2 keep tight lipped on everything until it is actually released.

lets hope its not the same farse on tmobile that the MDA Vario 4 was.

I had a meeting with a sales rep from o2 the other day with a view to switch from Vodafone to o2 and he mentioned that they are looking at getting some updated HTC models in soon and whilst he couldnt give names he hinted at the diamond2 would be one and the pro2 may be another.
He also said that they put their devices through a long testing period before release so they can put their custom ROM in.

Which means a release in late-2010 for upgrade customers over retentions. I am willing to put alot of money on this to be the case.

Yeah which is why im not holding out on O2 for anything with the Pro2.
At the moment I am considering taking the upgrade on orange to the touch HD, selling my original touch HD (bought sim free) and then buying the Pro2 sim free when it comes out.
What i want to do is have Orange announce the Pro2 then see what deal they can concoct to keep me on the network when I come to review my contract in a month or 2

It had better come out on o2 as i really dont want to switch to orange and really cant be arsed with the move to a new network, come on o2 and bring it to us earlier than 6 months after the full realease of the phone!

I dont mind which network takes it - Orange would be less hassle for me as im already there but I just want a network to confirm it and put it on a coming soon page so i can plan leaving or working on getting a pre-order in

Phone will be out on orange later this month, maybe towards the end as it should not conflict with the launch of the omnia hd which is due this week, T Mobile will be getting the touch diamond with a view to picking up the touch pro 2 in july. Nothing on o2 or vodafone as of yet.

Arvin - have you got any press release or anything from Orange to back this up? Really want to see what they want to start pitching it at so i can work out what i do/dont want to spend with them!

Hope this is correct

thats what i got in writing from htc (without any commitment as observation of course). If we compare the time periord of release of the diamond and touch pro it was aprox.the same, so it could be true.

Any idea how long internal coming soon turns to official coming soon/release. My commitment date on the contract just passed for my TyTnII and i am looking to upgrade ASAP!

well the omnia hd went on mid april and its being launched this week now, the touch pro 2 came on around the same time frame and should land end of this month or begining of june. supplier problems hindered the launch of the omnia hd though , was meant to be last week so might have pushed the touch pro 2 back a bit

The Expansys website has been updated to say...
Availability: Normally less than 5 days
I sent an email to them asking if this is the case and when we can expect it to be release.
This is the reply...
Many thanks for your enquiry , please be advised that the Touch Pro 2 is out towards the end of June.
I hope this aint true.

Got a Vodafone TP2..and questions :-)

Hi all,
Got a TP2 from Vodafone UK this week. Realy liking the device so far, infact it's probably the first WM phone I have used in ages that I have not splattered with apps just to make it usefull!
My main gripe with Vodafone so far is that the colour scheam they have shosen for the TouchFlow is 'Vodafone Red' with black so the message count bubbles are totaly unreadable!
Anyway, one strange this with this device is that I seem to have lost the ability to use HTMP email format and also the ability to flag messages etc... I have been told that this is a Vodafone 'thing' so that you want to use their email services... So does anyone know how to turn this back on ???
Thanks

I have a few questions if you don't mind:
Is the actual phone Vodafone branded in any way, or is it just the software?
Also, did you get it from a Vodafone shop, or was it delivered to your home?
I'm interested in getting one from Voda soon, what deal did you get it on, and did you have to pay much for the handset?
Cheers - hope you're enjoying the phone ;-)

No, it's HTC branded just voda build of the firmware....for now
Got it delivered direct from Voda, Most of the high street shops will not stock them because of their value
No idea on deals because it is on my company package so it works totaly differently
Hope this helps.

Mine should have been delivered from Vodafone today, but it has been delayed until tomorrow.
I got it from the Vodafone business site and it is available for free on any tariff from £30pm (+VAT) I'm getting 500 mobile minutes, 250 texts, unlimited internet and unlimited landline calls - or I will be when it turns up!! It is shown as coming soon on the site but if you eing up they have them in stock
Someone on Beasty's "A Dream just walked in" thread got theirs yesterday and it has a Vodafone theme and a little Vodafone sign on it apparently. I will let you know what mine is like when I get it

Seems very tempting, I may leave T-mob for this!
Do you know what the Vodafone business support is like if the phone goes faulty? I know with T-mob I got next day swap-out, and wonder if Vodafone offer this too?
Also, do you know if it's supplied unlocked?

Got mine from Vodafone yesterday and it is dual-branded. HTC at top of screen and Vodafone at the bottom. I agree on the colour scheme as I changed my Pro to black, but the calendar is different on the Pro 2 and I can't seem to find a suitable alternative - any suggestions appreciated.
BTW, my initial impressions are that this phone is a BIG improvement on the Pro and well worth the upgrade.

using O2 uk sim in vodaphone uk desire

Hey guys i should get my new desire this friday i want to use my O2 uk sim in it so two questions will a vodaphone uk handset be sim locked? second will i need o2's setting to get the internet ect working if so can any help me out there? thanks in advance.

Vodafone don't SIM lock their phones anymore

Where did you get your vodafone handset? I got mine through CPW which is unlocked and unbranded, although I think phones on Vodafone in general are unlocked.
You will have to manually setup your internet with O2's settings.

20 pcm with free phone and car charger had a walk around my town today and only cpw had in stock @ £30 pcm so just to have a second hand set next to my HD2 was a sweet deal!

HTC Desire coming to Telus

The Desire is coming to Telus mobility (Canada)
http://www.telusmobility.com/en/ON/htc_desire/index.shtml
I've heard rumours of the release date being August 8th

canada still have not the desire? poor guys

Be the time the Desire gets to some places it will be getting replaced in others! Still, at least you're getting it
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Yeah Canadian carriers are brutal for getting phones.... We just got the Legend and the Droid (milestone) and now we get the Desire.
Never even saw the HD2
At least I can hope the Desire isn't locked down here!

I just wish Telus would release the details on it already.
The rumors are that it'll be priced pretty low, and I'm getting excited about picking it up.
I missed my chance buying from the Nexus One online store, and just found out about this coming soon.
Hopefully the hardware won't be branded, & it will be easy to unlock. It'll be my first Android phone.

I hope it isnt branded either....
I've heard itll be 79.99 on a 3 year

You can get an unlocked Desire 8183 from several places and run on Rogers network. I did a couple months ago and works great! Just input APN settings for Rogers and you are good to go.
