I know that Orange's 'Signal Boost' app (which allows to to connect to via the WiFi if the phone signal is weak) is available for the HTC Wildfire S, but is it possible on the Wildfire?
I did of course did do a search (on here and also the web)
Anyone know if it is possible to do?
Would it be just getting the files from a different phone or is it a hardware issue?

Hello geeks
fresh Question ???
If i buy online unbranded and unlocked Htc desire in UK
the website says :"completely free from network branding. means that the phone will have no network logos on the outside and no additional network software on the inside meaning you get the Desire exactly as HTC made it".
In reality
Does it means that i should have these application below already up and running ?
1.google map navigation (turn by turn)
2.Htc voice to text keyboard with microphone key
3.voice search
Is there difference between UK Rom version and other countries ?
Or ,is it only the networks you locks yourself in who does change software & rom version ?
I hope the fact that if device is unlocked, It helps with problems other users seems to have in UK with voice input and gps .
Any tips mostly appreciated

1.google map navigation (turn by turn) this is only US to my knowledge, not other countries, .. not very sure hough
2.Htc voice to text keyboard with microphone key No you will not get that ATM, neither locked nor unlocked, .. its not present by default, you can install an app called "Verizon Keyboard 2.1" or something like that and you will get it
3.voice search No, check answer to question 2
Is there difference between UK Rom version and other countries ?
Or ,is it only the networks you locks yourself in who does change software & rom version ? Language might be different, "local languages" and UK gets both Locked devices ad Unlocked devices, not only locked. Unlocked versions get their updates directly from HTC, while locked devices get theirs from their Mobile Operator (depends on which mobile operator you are locked to)
Plus unlocked means you can put any network's sim card in.
There is a way to get the turn by turn navigation it's been posted on here.

Random question. If a device is bought froma network, and then unlocked, do the updates still go through the network because of the ROM it's running, or from HTC because it's then unlocked network wise?

i was wondering that yesterday but then someone from here told me that you wont be able to direct htc update unless you debrand your phone which is basically installing generic htc rom onto your device using goldcard
Hi,
I'm in Ireland, on O2.
They've given me different settings to try out, and I've gotten advice from others with the same SIM-free Desire on O2 Ireland who have been successful. I have never gotten a "3G" or "H" symbol for connection. I'm only able to connect for data through WiFi.
Using the same SIM in my Sony Ericsson results in an HSPA connection, so no problems directly with the SIM.
After all the trying for a couple of days, I wonder in the end if it's possible that my handset has a 3G aerial hardware error. Is there a way to perhaps test for this?
In the phone app, pressing *#*#4636#*#* brings you to an information screen which might help. For GPRS it just says "disconnected".
Thanks for any pointers.
Hi,
I've got a problem of connectivity with my new operator (Free Mobile).
When I connect to its network, sometimes I'm rejected (SIM not authorized message), sometimes it works but I don't receive any data at all (call include).
Rarely I can download a few things for about 2 minutes.
With this operator I can also connect to a competitor network (Orange). On this network everything works well.
These 2 networks are 3G ones.
A friend suscribed to the same operator and have no problem with it. So we switched our SIMs to see if it was linked to my subscription or to my phone. He had no problem with my SIM while I encountered exactly the same problem with his.
Is that possible that some baseband drivers are not adapted to this new operator as they have bought a new frequency range (frequencies that were not available before in France) ?
If anybody here have a xperia arc (or arc s) have suscribed Free Mobile, I would be happy to have some feedback (is it working on Free Mobile network ? If so, what is the kernel / rom / baseband used ?)
Thanks !
Edit :
I've now installed CM7 kernel + rom and patched baseband (64).
Problem still here...
I'm still interested in other Free Mobile users feedback
I'm living in Japan and using Softbank as carrier.
I got the One X international version (from Plemix Hong Kong), and I installed the ARHD after rooting my device (Also I tried several custom ROMs).
The problem is there is no 3G connection anyhow, when I switch to 3G it always says disconnected..!!
previously, I have had my HTC Desire HD, and it is working well in 3G and the data transfer is good.
- I'm using the same SIM card (after I cut it to micro one) from Desire HD to One X.
- In both devices the APN settings are the same.
- When I put back the SIM card to my Desire HD, it works very well..!!
So, somebody help me and tell me where is the problem.
Sorry for long message and wish to find a solution..!!
I got the same on my One X. My carrier is Tele2 ans they claim that their network is down due rebuilding, which is not true. Somehow I regret that I took this phone at them.
They will send a new SIM to see if that helps. Otherwise a reparation is needed.

Have you made sure you have the right radio? Not sure what your should be, but you get them here;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1689679
Guessing it should be Radio_1.1204.103.14 （Asia Pasific）
Long-shot: Not sure if this will help, but whenever my phone occasionally refuses to reconnect to 3G I toggle the settings in the Phone Information Menu from WCDMA Preferred to CDMA Auto (PRL)
After a few seconds the phone automatically jumps back to WCDMA Preferred and it can then reconnect the 3G network. Sometimes toggling airplane mode doesn't do it.
Does 3G on the One X work when stock on SoftBank? I'm considering buying this phone from Expansys and using it on SoftBank's network.
Hey everyone,
I'm having the following issue: I have a Desire Z (from Germany, usually use it in Germany as well) running the latest Mimicry ROM (1.40). I recently bought an Austrian SIM card to use when I'm in Austria. When I do that, however, my phone thinks I am still roaming (as I would be if I were still using the German SIM card). Is there a setting that I am missing, somehow?
Thanks for the help!

Are you talking about small letter R that appears next to the signal strenght? I have this when I lost the singnal of my mobile network, because I can use other domestic networks without any extra charges. And it is simply national roaming.
