hello All,
I got a AT&T HTC touch pro 2 (tilt 2) from my friend who had got it unlocked from AT&T as he got upgraded to a new phone. I am using a t-mobile prepaid on the touch pro 2. I have got couple of issues with it.
1. The UI responds very slowly.
2. The data connection icon displays E. When I called up the t-mobile customer care they response varies a lot. One says i need to unlock the device from AT&T and others says i will be able to use only Edge as its not a device provided by t-mobile.
3. The GPS doesnt seem to work. When ever i used Bing. It says that its not able to connect.
I have a request is there any customisable rom that would help in over coming these issues.
Regards,
Mahesh
Same here, but other way round
I have a T-Mobile TouchPro 2 I've been using an AT&T SIM in, and I can tell you exactly what's up- The ROM is probably trying to refresh stuff in the background and it's not working because it's expecting an AT&T SIM. Try another ROM. As far as 3G, not gonna happen. T-Mobile's 3G runs on different bands than the AT&T 3G. The T-Mobile SIM wouldn't even start up the phone if it wasn't unlocked. And I think the GPS settings might be wrong, try fiddling around with the COM ports in Settings, but make sure you make a note of what they were before. I'd recommend a custom ROM, not to solve the problems you speak of necessarily, but it runs a lot faster, and won't have all the AT&T bloatware that's kinda useless to you. Oh, and if you don't have Connection Manager setting everything up for you in your ROM, make sure you set your APN.

I have a Telstra branded HTC Touch Pro 2 T7381 which i have put my 3 prepaid sim into. I can use the phone for calls no problems but i can no longer access any internet features. It has no icons or links to Planet 3 and when i open a browser it does not connect even though i have a data plan on my sim.
Can someone tell me what im doing wrong or need to do in order to get rid of the Telstra stuff and enable me to access the internet via my 3 sim.
Well, firstly, putting a SIM card in won't magically make any icons to Planet3 appear. You can visit Planet 3 by going to http://three.net.au. But first we need to get your net working.
Have you run the connection wizard? What access point are you using? Make sure that there is a Planet3 access point setup, and not just "The Internet".
Reports I've heard are that Telstra are responsible for the repairs of the TP2 and as such, if you return it to them, it must have the Telstra ROM on it or the warranty is void. So just be careful if you want to flash the phone to a new ROM.
As to get 'rid of the Telstra stuff', you can try this link: http://www.watsons-online.com/HTC_Touch_HD_tweaking_files/Removing_Telstra_customisation.pdf which was recommended on another site. I haven't used it so I can't vouch for how good it is, plus it seems it is for an older version, Touch HD, so it may or may not work. One user said that it didn't work and that it screwed up TF3D. So try it at your own risk.
Im wondering if the device supports bands OTHER than telstras. Let us know how ya go. Does it have a H up near the clock?
Get three working on T7381 Telstra TP2
Hi, I hope your connected with internet working by now.
Just in case I received my TP2 today.
I went here http://xseries.three.com.au/3/three/mobiles_plans/3SIM/FAQs/USIM_Guide.pdf
and got the settings.
Basically go to the phone settings. then to Communications. Then click on set up data connection. Select "Add a new modem connection" then name the connection "Planet3". Under select a modem change it to Cellular Line (3gprs, 3G). Click next set access point name to 3services. Then click next, then click finish (don't need any settings on the last page). Now you have to use the IE browser and point it to the following webpage. http://three.net.au/hb/htct7272/HutchKey
and your done... you can turn the data connection on and off as you need it.
Hey guys,
I was using my dinc2 in Europe all year and it was great. No troubles there.
I did some research since i've come back to US, and learned that people have been able to use tmobile with their phones. I've only read about some troubles with data plans ... but i'm not trying to use data at all.
I simply want to buy the 1000 prepaid minutes for 100$ from tmobile and pop it in. My plans is to use Wifi with google voice (groove IP) pretty much everywhere, and use the minutes from tmobile only when i'm on the move.
I tried getting a friends tmobile SIM to work just to make sure that there would be no problems, and i failed. It simply doesn't recognize the service.
My phone is S-OFF, hdboot .97, clockworkmodded, and runs Skyraider Zeus.
Is it a matter of running the correct ROM?

We have 2 DI2 and running both AT&T Prepaid and T-Mo Prepaid on it - no trouble with voice with Skyraider Zeus v1.3 or Nitsuj17's Stock Sense rom - APN settings for AT&T was auto-updated as I recall and being provisioned with a data bundle in the plan, it works. For T-Mobile, there are no default APN settings under GSM mode pre-loaded, but as you know, it's not required for voice & SMS to work on the DI2, you will get a "redirect" screen if you launch the browser to sign up for a data plan for it to work (and, that's indication of a working Sim card)
With the sim inserted & switched over to GSM, does it identify the "T-Mobile" network on the lockscreen or homes screen at all? after a reboot ? If you're running SR Zeus in Europe - then, there's no reason for it to not work here in the U.S.- recheck your settings for Mobile Network ...
Bought my phone form Rogers. LTE was working fine.
Was going to USA and paid an online company to send me unlock code.
Used it and went using Tmobile which only has EDGE data.
Just got back swapped back in my SIM From fRogers and can only get EDGE speeds.
Tried reboots rmoving SIM card.
Also made sure settigns were correct for Rogers APNs and also that toggle was on for GPS/HSPA/LTE.
To no avail.
Briefly, I toggled on and off the apn setting from ROgers LTE to tethering LTE and low and behold it seemed to work.
But now it is back to stuck on EDGE and nothibg I am doing can help.
Can this be a byproduct of the unlock?
Is my LTE faulty?
I s there some hidden menu where perhaps a setting can be changed for a fix?
I am depserate as the alternative is to return the phone and they are on backorder everywhere now.
There is no lte on tmobile yet. Second the tmobile note 2 has dormant radios that will only activate the lte capability by software update.
Im going to research your problem a little more ill send you a pm as to why it isnt going back to lte functionality if I find out something first...

I have a Canadian note 2 that had working LTE.I had it unlocked via a code emailed to me then next used it on tmobile at edge speeds.
Since returning home i cant get back onto data speeds above edge despite reboots.Simcard/battery pulls.
I ensured my network and apn were correct and that in setting under mobile the toggelchoice for auto including gsm//hspa/LTE was selected.
Are there perhaps some deeper settings via dialer code than might be able to turn back on the hspa/lte radios?
hey i recently bought a note 4 for verizon and used it on t-mobile.
now it worked and i changed the apn settings manually. except:
1.) The phone would lose signal really quick in certain places and have the circle with a line thru it and it would take few mins, sometimes even have to restart phone to get service back ( i am in a 4g lte service area and it works fine on other devices)
2.) when i was in a call, the option to be on the internet DID NOT WORK. it would say check network settings or something of that sort.
3.) sometimes during a call even with full signal bars, it would hang up and say 'sim not found'
is anyone else experiencing this problem(s) also, or was it just a faulty device?
please any feedback, or insight would be appreciated!
Has it been more than 24 hours activated? Although not a note but her iPhone went from Verizon to t-mobile and she was having issues with data for about 48 hours.
I don't think its just your device (unless we both have faulty devices). I am having the same issues with my Verizon Note 4 on T-mobile network. When I am on a call that requires a keypad entry, it doesn't recognize that I pressed a number (same for voicemail).
My phone also loses signal and 4g in certain place (I thought it was tmobile at first but I was at starbucks with two other friends who had tmobile..they had 4g lte and phone service just fine while my note 4 had neither.)
I was wondering if it was a note 4 issue but haven't found many forums that discussed these issues specifically for verizon note 4 to tmobile users. Please let me know if you are able to find a solution to this problem.

You are correct. I have a Verizon Note 4 that is having the same issues. I'm considering trading this for a T-Mobile note 4 but I don't know how to do that other than craigslist....too bad there is not another way....
So I jumped on the AT&T/DirecTV Unlimited data deal and ported my phone today. It all looked normal and I got the activation texts and such - it even populated the nxtgenphone APN info (though it was deselected and I had to select it). Anyway, I've had no data at all. As a test, I switched the APN to phone and data works, but the speeds appear to be much lower than what my wife's iPhone is seeing on the nxtgenphone APN. Anyone got any tips?
I'm running Viper 2.5, latest US unlocked firmware and US unlocked selected as carrier, and it works fine on AT&T other than this......only other thing I can mention is when I select preferred band or whatever it shows WCDMA/GSM and if I change it to WCDMA/GSM/LTE it reverts back for some reason. Any help much appreciated. I've called AT&T and they're like, uh, we don't sell the HTC 10 so can't really help you... grrrrrr.....

I'd suggest ruu to stock us unlocked rom and see if the issue persists.
Or, try clean flash of viper.
I have no issues using US unlocked on AT&T with both stock rom and ice.
Thanks for trying to help. I just finished trying stock RUU and same problem. I'm convinced, as I was before, that this is AT&T's issue. I've read numerous posts this afternoon that because the HTC 10 (and other phones) aren't in their "LTE approved" database, nxtgenphone APN won't work, or it will only give HSPA speeds. Seems like everyone who has resolved it, or didn't run into the issue at all had another AT&T LTE phone they could use for the IMEI on the account, or the rep entered the model as an iPhone or similar to make it work. Really, really frustrating, as they refuse to help me and I'm starting to think I should just terminate in the 14 day window and do T-mobile or Verizon.
I have at&t and everything worked out of the box, I've never been on stock rom, always on Viper I did the unlock and s-off without a sim and never had an issue or called at&t to activate the device I just transferred my sim from my note 4 to the HTC 10, no provisioning issues at all, VOLTE works, LTE is fine as well while on a phone call... No issues... If you need anything to compare let me know

Thanks for replying. They did confirm it was a provisioning issue and they fixed it today. They had to do something different, as the default HTC 10 provisioning and IMEI check didn't fix it even when they tried it a second time, but they were able to adjust something and LTE definitely works now. VoLTE working here, too. Thanks!
