HTC Desire a8183

do the telstra branded ones present any dramas?
I have a Telstra branded desire and the only issues I had were the Telstra bloatware and obviously the low internal storage.. Which were easily fixed by rooting and installing cyanogen rom.

+1 to that!
im staying with vf and just want to recieve the 850mhz/2100mhz hence swapping the 8181 to 8183. i just heard that some of the telstra stuff is hard to get off.
Its not hard, just root it.. Then flash a custom or stock rom which won't have the Telstra crap.

Well the topic is about the Desire and how to get it but I was not sure which forum to put it in so posted it here.
Well my Brother is moving to London for 2 years. Now he has his N95 (unlocked) which he would like to continue using as he has his paid apps installed on it and stuff.
Now he's getting a HTC Desire on contract. So If he uses the Contract Sim in his N95 and sends back the Desire to me here in India, I could unlock it and use it with any data carrier here in India right?
Yes you could unlock / debrand the Desire and use it on another network.

He will be either on T Mobile or Vodafone
The network won't care right even if he's using his contract sim in his other unlocked phone?

Oh and one more thing.
Some guy on tech enclave was saying that if you unlock your phone using the unlock code the phone will once again get locked after I update my phone software to Froyo.
Is that true? I thought this only happened in iPhones? If it's true what are my alternative means of unlocking?
Thank you everyone
Simply re use the same unlock code you originally used to unlock the phone and you'll be fine.

That would work right? Or will they not let you re use the same code?
It worked for me when my phone was re locked after debranding, its worked for others on here too.

Could you tell me what site you or others used for unlocking the phone from which you could re use the key?
Anyone know How much would it cost in customs to get a Desire from the UK to India?
Hello,
I'm new to this as my post counter suggest. I just bought a used Telus HTC Desire, I'm new to using Android device as well. I was wondering if I need to root the Desire to obtain 3G from Rogers. I tried using the APN from this thread but it still never showed up on the top notification bar. I'm not entirely sure what to do.
Thank you very much for reading this, I hope to have a reply soon.
Sincerely,
Steven K.
No just unlock and type in the apn. Rogers bell TELUS virgin etc use the same networks.

Does anyone have a HTC Desire with Cellular South?
Sent from my HTC Desire CDMA using XDA App
Some do, but there are more US Cellular CDMA Desires out there. Luckily it doesn't make a difference in ROMs!
I'm asking because I need someone to send me the stock cellular south desire software so I can send it back to CS because I deleted my backup

Well, I don't have a rooted phone, and it didn't come with the option for 3G.. So I was wondering can my unrooted HTC wildfire get 3G?? ( If so can you help?)

You'll need to describe your problem more clearly for some help. Maybe some screenshots or an accurate description on what isn't working.

Hello,
The Wildfire S has 3G capability, may you be rooted or not.
If when you're connecting to mobile internet, a little "H" appears on the left of your battery, it means you're using the 3G network.

I don't know whether or nor the OP is using a Wildfire S for the first time, therefore am just giving an easy method for him to check if he is using 3G or not.

How can I take a screenshot? Also, I tried looking in Mobile settings but no 3G option or any G is there. There's no 'H' just bars and something saying what looks to be 'Ev' above arrows.

The 3G you are talking about is HSPA(H) which is a GSM technology............
Since your phone is a CDMA variant,the best it can use is EVDO......which is quite close to HSPA,call it CDMA 3G
Ohhh, x( okay then.. thanks anyways .. (clicked thanks )

EVDO is 3g

Hi, I'm a bit confused on which I have, I got it in the mail with the tmobile rom and g2 hboot fully s-offed, new, only opened to s-off, but it came from hong kong in a black htc old box, it was supposed to be a desire z, but... it has the G2 keyboard, but the dz back and "with htc sense" label.. any clue?
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
well other than the few things like the back cover wording and the tmobile words on the digitizer or htc or whatever, the only difference that matters is the hboot. it looks like it was a dz but know has a g2 hboot. so now it is a g2 for all that matters

That's what I'm thinking, my biggest hope is that it has the g2 bands, because I'm using straight talk, and think I need the tmo sim
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
Well if you find that you have an FM radio in it, then it's DZ Hardware.
I don't know how you can tell the bands without first booting up into the phone and checking the about, but if you find it:
Desire Z - Band I: 900/2100 Mhz
G2 - Band IV: 1700/2100 Mhz
Maybe the serial number in the About Phone setting could help.
Though other sources say the G2 covers every bands TMobile uses currently:
Carrier: T-Mobile
2G Technology (Frequencies): GSM (850/900/1800/1900mhz)
3G Technology (Frequencies): HSDPA (850/900/1900/2100mhz)
4G Technology (Frequencies): HSDPA+ (1700/2100mhz)

not sure if having an fm radio or not is a good way of telling, I have a g2 and my fm radio works. I believe people with a dz also have a working radio but who know maybe they dont

Well battery plates are interchangeable, however it does say HTC along the top of the phone, though the keyboard appears same as my G2. I'm wondering if it's a re-furbished G2 with an DZ Digitizer and housing.
What does your hBoot say ? T-Mobile if I'm not mistaken have specific radio versions.
Here's my hboot
