im struggling to find information about how i can set up my orange branded HD with stock rom on any other network.
i have unlocked the phone using olipros unlocking service.
i have a 3UK sim at the moment and when i put it in it gets signal, i can make and receive calls but cant get internet which is the main thing i want to use this network for, i havent yet tried text and dont use mms.
i get a notification telling me network settings are not in the database and i have no idea what the settings for this network are and cant find them on three.co.uk and the setup wizard on there does not support my phone.
i would rather not change the stock rom as theres too many to choose from and i dont se the phone for much anyhow. If theres a rom that has all the settings already for most uk networks then i may consider it.
any advice would be helpfull as at the moment its useless having an unlocked phone as im still stck with orange and the rubbish signal and only 3g speeds in my area.

Hi, there I just received my XDA EXEC for UK, Im in USA.
I have Cingular Wireless(AT&T Wireless), and what I did was put the Sim card on the phone and the phone starts working, but I'm having 2 problems.
First my phone has the roaming signal all the time, I don't know if there is any way to modify that.
And the second and most important is that the phone has really low signal.
I want to know if someone can help me.
Thanks.

Hard reset the phone and choose Copoorate mode (the code is 0506). This will stop the roaming issue. Other modes load O2 customisation.
I already has my phone in corporate mode and still the roaming signal.
Thanks.

If in roaming then it would suggest that the phone has been setup with UK O2 as the default network. Have a look at Settings/connections perhaps you can change the defualt network to Cingular or try installating the Cingular CAB file from: http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=787912&highlight=cingular+cab
I have no idea what I'm saying here, but try to lock it onto GSM instead of WCDMA and it should be better.
hi i have a softbank X01HT running on WM5. and today i was going to go get the Rogers 3G plan so i planned to tried it out to see if it worked in the store first before getting the plan. so when i inserted the store's HSPDA sim card into my phone and have the carrier's samsung 3G phone call me using the video to see if it works or not. but it couldnt connect the call for some reason. so the sales told me that my setting might not be correct on my phone. so i want to know if anyone has tried using rogers 3G on the softbank before and what settings do u need to do on it.
my internet setting and stuff works cuz i can check my email and go on the internet using GPRS. and all my network settings are on auto. so i dont see why it didnt work in the store. if anyone has any ideas please help me. cuz im trying to get this thing set up before the 3G pricing goes up. thanks alot for the help.
so i guess no one knows then
Quick question - as ever i've searched but not found anything in the Blackstone forum, so pre-emptive apologies if it's right under my nose..
On the HTC Touch HD Handset - Connections ; Network Management, it gives the option to choose between "mobile web" and "O2 active."
can someone please tell me which is superior / faster (if either) and what further configuration settings i may need to change to get the best signal & performance? Im on a pre-pay contract with the monthly Bolt On of "Unlimited" Internet form O2.
many thanks
I use mobile web and the speed seems ok. I can't remember if I ever bothered with the O2 Active.
Anyway you can try either using the websites you will most likely be accessing. I'd say you should clear the browser cache before each website test. An Edge connection is best from my research but I am not really bothered for what I use the mobile for.
At the end of the day if you need supreme speed you have to use the desktop. Hope that helps.
You use the mobile web connection for Internet access. The O2 Active setting is WAP and used for MMS.
Remember if you are on PAYG, you need to use the PAYG settings, not pay-monthly. Change the APN from mobile.o2.co.uk to payandgo.o2.co.uk, ussername=payandgo, password=password
I am with o2 pre pay contract.
Just some info if your using an old sim card that you`ve had for a couple of phones (upgrades), i found out my sim card wasn`t a 3G sim card. In my blackstone all i got was the edge network, After contacting o2 they sent me a new sim card and i now pick up the HSPDA network,which is indicated by H.
You can tell by looking at the serial code on the sim . It should say 3G at the end of the serial.
Does anyone know how to configure their o2 connection so that GPRS is enabled but not 3G. I am having trouble as when I try the settings always shows as 3G?

I have just got hold of a HTC HD2 that was on the T-Mobile network.
It was supposed to be unlocked but when I turn the device on , I still get the T-Mobile banner
Also, when I go into change the networks, it only lists T-mobile, no Orange listed. Also, 3G option is greyed out!
I currently have an unlocked Touch Diamond 2 with v6.5 on it with no issue and can do all of the above
The HTC HD 2 does seem locked down on the T-Mobile network
Anyone got any advice??? Thanks
unlocking the network wont alter the installed rom in any way. The tmo rom will by default be trying to use the tmo network settings (including the tmo proxy).
Personally i'd try the following
1 - settings - menu - all settings - connections - connection setup
or
2 - do a hard reset and let the phone pick up the connections from your orange sim
or (my personal choice)
3 - flash a non branded rom and let the phone get the settings from your orange sim.
The T-mobile ROM doesn't have the connection settings like the wwe rom.
I think you'll either need to flash the wwe rom or change the connection settings manually.
Does the phone pick up a signal at all? it sounds like it could still be sim locked?

part of the ROM, won't change because you unlocked it
Also, when I go into change the networks, it only lists T-mobile, no Orange listed. Also, 3G option is greyed out!
again part of the ROM, won't change because you unlocked ita

Confirm.
My workmate had the same problem. Got unlocked HD2 (ex o2) and started using with Vodafone SIM. He couldn`t get 3G working at all (txt and voice working properly). Flashing new ROM helped. 3G working on 1.66 WWE stock and all the cooked ROMs we were dealing with.
After flashing new ROM, put your SIMcard in, and at start you will get a list of about dozen carriers to choose from, pick yours and the phone will download itself all the settings required .

hi i have a htc hs2 for t-mobile unlocked, i live in Canada and am using the rogers network , i cant seem to get my data connection to work on the phone. it asks me to login and put in additional info, would i be able to install a rom for the other hd2 leo section so it doent have t-mobile stuff on it. i basically want my data top work and it doesnt recongnize my current data connection, i can make calls just no internet except wifi. any help would be great. thanks
Sure you could flash a Leo rom but you will most likely brick your phone. You need to change the settings from the T-mobile internet settings to Rogers internet settings.
