[PRJ][AUS]Telstra HTC Diamond

For those people in Australia using Telstra and wanted the 3.5G radio support, I finally got my hands on one that support the Telstra NextG HTC Diamond.
Base Rom: 1.38.841.5 WWE
Radio Rom: 1.00.25.06 (not the same version from previous post as this one is NextG specific)
I am sure most of the people would like to try this rom... if someone can show me the way the extract these roms I will be more than happy to post it for testing.

yeah this would be awesome to see if it will make the 850Mhz 3G radio work on any Diamond...!

I am noob in extracting roms... any ideas how to do it?

This would be good to try, but since it has the same version number as the one posted in the Radios thread, I wonder if/how it is different?

I will mark it as AUS version.
But before anything happen, I do need to know how to extract this out and make it work for everyone. Any ideas?

Dude you will make everyone happy if we can activate 850 3G.

I know... that's why I post this up...
My whole point is I have no idea what I needed to do to get the radio rom out.
If anyone can point me the right direction, I will post the rom out as soon as I can.

Sweet - Saw a Telstra flyer for it. Does it have an extra tab in TF3D called "My places"? If so, is it in place of the Programs tab, or is it seperate?

How's the performance of TF3D and the device in general on the Telstra device mate?

i will release the telstra ROM sometime tonight / tomorrow, just needs patching to remove the Region ID, working with cmonex now.

Thanks Guys, is it possable to also get the rom, rom and radio split as original without region tampering....can be kept as a backup for those in Aus that may want to revert back after cooking.
Is the bootloader available as well.
Again many thanks, you guys and your experties is allways appreciated.

I fully appreciate and thank you for your work and your genorosty of your time as I am sure all others that read your advice or use your programming skills.
Again many thanks.

so humor me this..
i have the 1.93.831.1 installed with hard spl.
also running radio 1.00.25.06...
i get a H symbol for most of my coverage and i have a NextG sim card installed...does this mean i am seeing 850Mhz 3G network or not really?
looking forward to actually trying the telstra rom...

Go to Setting / Phone, under the Band Tab, choose WCDMA and UTMS (850)+GSM(900+1800)
If you still can get signal and get a H then you are winning.

under the HongKong Rom
In Australia with telstra Nextg service
greyed box h and 3testra in tflo home provider spot setting are both auto
under phone settings only UMTS(900+12000 + GSM (900+1800) avail
set to the WCDMA and UMTS 900 from auto..
have a greyed box h and 3testra in tflo home provider spot
switched back to auto got 3g in grey box then after 20 seconds now have E in box have only testra under service in tflo home
Now under auto and even running connections setup I cant get back to my original greyed box h and 3testra in tflo home provider spot and have E in box and Telstra as provider under auto.[Have even set 3telstra as preffered over telstra in network band settings
edit:
set provider to manual ...chose 3telstra over telstra...then conection setup for setting etc ....ok [have H] then went back and chose auto now still have H and 3telstra with all options now on auto
should H be in grey box or just H

I also have the HK ROM with a Telstra NextGen USIM, and here is what I think is happening.
Telstra has 3 networks:
* Telstra NextGen 3G UMTS - 850MHz - Mobile network Code 505-01
* Telstra GSM - 900/1800 MHz (EDGE/GPRS) - Mobile Network Code 505-01
* Telstra 3G UMTS - 2100MHz (JV network with 'Three') Mobile Network Code 505-06 (code is shared with Hutchinson '3')
The best way to tell exactly what Telstra network you are on is by looking at the Network name in the 3DTF Home Screen
Telstra (with an E or G icon) is the 900/1800MHz GSM network
Telstra (with 3G or H icon) is the NextG 850MHz network
3Telstra (with 3G or H icon) is the '3' joint venture 2100MHz network
I am eagerly awaiting the new Telstra ROM or at least the radio ROM. So my question is, has anyone got (a non-Telstra Touch Diamond) working on 850MHz yet ? Does the new radio ROM give access to Telstra 850MHz ?

[Q] GSM network mode

I have noticed people managed to change their network mode to GSM only mode??? How do you that?? I only have 2 options: WCMDA and GSM/WCDMA auto?? Is this thing vary due to your courier?? Currently I am with 3 Australia. I wish I have the option to switch only to GSM. From experience, it can save you a lot of battery.

If you don't have the option then you can't pick it. I don't know if that means it's been removed or if it's simply because 3 don't offer a 2G network service (GSM mode). They probably have some 2G sharing but only in spots without 3G so you still have the GSM/WCDMA auto mode.
That's the best I can offer since I know that's how it works with 3 over here in the UK where they have only their 3G network. The firmware likely has GSM mode disabled for that reason but wait for more to back me up or prove me wrong.

I have a feeling it could be the ROM or firmware that comes with it has it disabled the GSM only option. My Desire HD is the UK version. I am not sure if the other Australian version (from Voda or 3) have that options. With my original desire (and also using 3), I have that GSM only option available. So I dont think it's because 3 doesnt offer 2G network.

Get Advanced settings from Market. You can set it to GSM Only in the phone information menu.

Thank you for sharing..yes, it works....but I will try out and see if it does save a lot of battery life.

Type *#*#4636#*#* in the phone dialer to get to testing menu. Under phone info you can set different options that are not otherwise available. No app is required.

Thanks for the info. I have tested both method...both work. But the only problem, how do we set it permanently?? I mean I have noticed every time you reboot the phone, the setting changes?? and I have to set it back to GSM only??

but even if you could technically switch it to gsm, would it actually make a difference? surely if the actual mobile network is pure 3g and no 2g, then switching on the phone wouldn't change a thing? as its not actually possible to use 2g on 3 network?(because they built network from scratch out of 3g is what they always boast about anyway..)

This is strange. I have an unbranded bought sim free HTC sensation here in the UK which Im using on the 3 network and I dont have the option under network to set it to gsm only. This option should be here on an unbranded handset, and its there on my old Desire which was also bought unbranded sim free when Im using that on the 3 network.
Anyone shed any light on this? I know the work arounds mentioned above, but Im more interested in why the option is missing on my handset.
Cheers
PS I know this is the Desire HD thread but its the only topic I could find on this subject so far.

I don't think it matters, just don't even bother with the settings menu for that in the first place. in the Testing menu just set the radio to either GSM Auto (PRL) or GSM Only. GSM gives more talk time.

[Q] Enable 850mhz on Galaxy Nexus?

I have been Googling for guides on updating the Galaxy Nexus 3G frequency to 850mhz or at least check which frequency it's on. I turned up nothing.
Does anyone know how to do this (particularly anyone else who's on Telstra)?

what do you mean "enable 850mhz"?
You're only going to be able to use the frequencies your carrier uses. If they don't use 850mhz then you can't lol.

Cheers Marton. May have answered my own question though. Basically I noticed my phone was registering on Telstra's 2100mhz network (3Telstra) but the 850mhz network is superior. After going into "Settings | Wireless & networks - More | Mobile Networks | Network Operators" I was able to change to the "Telstra Mobile."
Now it's speedier than ever.

Try going to your dialer and dialing "*#*#4636#*#*". In the next menu select the option that reads "Phone information". Once in that menu hit the option button and choose "select radio band". There you will see "Aus" and "Aus2". I believe Aus2 will get you that second frequency you're trying to get.

Thanks - am getting faster speeds now but I can't tell if it actually is faster or whether it's just because it's later in the night and more people are off to bed.

this worked perfectly. after flashing ICS 4.0.4 i was defaulting to 2100 even after flashing the telstra radio again. 850 is back!!

What do you mean? They're talking about a GSM Nexus which didn't properly switch between 2100mhz and 850mhz.
The Verizon phone is CDMA and LTE on specific bands. You're not gonna change anything.

HTC Desire reception

Hello! I bought a desire second hand and it has no reception. I tried to change the radio and I tried almost everything. It didn't work. When there is an outgoing connection the reception is 3 and 4 bars but when the device go to sleep and then wakes up there is no reception. I think that is a problem in 2G module but I can't find the desire's scheme to see where is the 2G module situated and to see if it is broken.
Please if someone has a a scheme please post it or know what is the problem.

It looks at the operator's APN, it is possible that they are not in his place.
Is it Sim-Unlock???
You should not change the Radio until you do not solve the problem. Anyway: does he settle well when you change it?

Yes, it is Sim-Unlock. When the outgoing connection is active, there is no problem, Sometimes it drops but most of the cases it is stable and it doesnt stop. But when going to sleep there is no reception.
I look at the APN but everything is ok.

Type this on telephone: *#*#4636#*#*
It looks in the principal field of the submenu, and if it puts WCDMA you must change to GSM auto (PRL). It can be that it gives turned out...

Good Luck!! and Grettings!!

Is someone know if there is some tech in the antenna cover or what is the role of it?

i have the same problem.
WCDMA works fine but GSM is broken. I've tried everything... different radios, settings, etc... looks like a hardware defect.
Did you find a solution?

I would love to find a way to really troubleshoot this. I've been having problems with flakey reception for a very long while. Im inclined to think the desire simply does not perform well in areas with moderate to low coverage. In other words, it needs a strong signal.
Are you sure your provider has a gsm network? In Canada, Bell and Telus (and their discount brands) don't have a gsm network. They built a hsdpa network on top of their old 2G cdma network. They are not compatible. Rogers network is better since you can always fall back on the legacy gsm network.

[Q] Htc desire hd A1919 3G Problem

I am using HTC DESIRE HD A1919. (Baseband version 12.65.60.29U_26.14.04.28_M) and (Kernel version 2.6.35.10-g931a37e [email protected] #1 Wed Nov 9 14:04:03 CST 2011). Recently 3G is launched in my country Pakistan but when my phone is not connecting to 3G. settings/about phone/Network/Mobile Network type always shows EDGE! I inserted my sim in a friend's phone in the same area and 3G was working fine. I went to Htc Sales and Service Store but they simply said they can't help! I have never rooted rooted my phone and done nothing with my phone except downloading apps from Google play! Can anyone tell how to solve this problem??? Please tell the solution in steps because i am unaware of android development and stuff like that!

Did you get 3G while choosing WCDMA Only?
If Yes,means you have to do it manually everytime you reboot your device.
If No,means you don't have a 3G data plan.
If you reboot your device mean while it will again set to prefered WCDMA so everytime you need to do it manually. Just to remember if you're getting 3G even on prefered WCDMA then leave it as it is. I think it's an issue regarding weak carrier signal.

Its not the build prop. Its how HTC designed the DHD.
The DHD isnt quadband, You can check the specs at gsm arena.
Some countries have thier 3g on a different band, so if you buy a DHD that doesnt scan for 3g on your countries band, you face the same problem.
I have being trying to fix this problem but got stuck along the way. Its very good to see that people also have the same problem. Maybe the devs would try something.

Nope..
Before i can try anything i have to put the device in diag mode which i have being able to, but the problem now is the device isnt showing up properly in QPST(a program for communicating directly to the qualcomm chip).
It detects the open port on windows but its unable to find the phone in the port.
If the phone doesnt show up in the port, changes cannot be done.
So thats the update.
If you have any idea, you could share

WCDMA
goto mobile network under settings, then select network mode, change it to GSM/WCDMA auto if it doesnt work then change it to WCDMA only.
It'll do the trick.
