i see theres the new rom 1.12. can i use the WWE rom with my 850Mhz jam???
also...what is the Original ROM on the Jam 850Mhz as in US version. 850 as the BAND/FREQUENCY....not speed!!
850 MHz Jam? wtf?!?!?!?!??!
wouldn't that give you like 3 minutes of battery life and then just melt? WTF is right
nah its easy upgrade....
just solder a P4 3ghz in and under clock it !
battery life is a bit short but its great for keeping your hands warm on a cold day
May be mack ment GSM-850, not 850MHz CPU... :wink:
IMHO - In that case difference can be only in radio ROM.
you guys miss understood my question....obviously theres no such thing as jam running at speeds 850Mhz.....i was asking about the band....they also use "Mhz" to denote the band. IE my jam has 850 Mhz/1800 Mhz/1900 Mhz.
to make it easier i'll just say Jam PM10C or USA version if you guys dont understand 850Mhz.
everyone has gotten caught up in a misquote and has complete circumvented the original question. What ROM is the most stable for US networks....
I am using ROM 1.11 with a .cab file fix that I got from the following location:

But as you can see from my posts there, my MMS still is not working. GRRR. I'm getting closer though. Any input would be helpful.

Hi,
I've found lots of conflicting info regarding the Telstra Touch HD and its support for frequencies other than NextG.
I'd like to know if anyone in Australia has a Vodafone usim in the Telstra Touch HD, and if they can connect with UMTS/HSDPA.
Cheers!
I have the T8285 model and it supports 850 & 2100, and I believe Vodfone operates its 3G network on 2100Mhz UMTS.
Cheers for the info, much appreciated. Its a pity this thing is a Telstra exclusive at the moment, as I don't really want to grab an imported one, warranty etc.
Now I think I gotta go to the bank. I've got a stupid $800 limit on EFTPOS....
Just do the same as the rest of us, buy the Telstra phone and flash the ROM with USPL and one of Dutty's ROMS (or one of your choice)
You will end up with the phone you are looking for and you can flash it back to the Telstra ROM by downloading it from HTC if you need to take the phone back.
that's exactly what i've done. yet i can't seem to get any of dutty's ROMs past version 2.6 to work on the T8285.
what about the optus network, will it work on that ..

Read the thread instructions. You have to flash it to a 1.56 rom THEN flash to the newer roms Links and info are all in the thread.
I was looking at the best deal i could get on the HD2 when i heard about the US version, has there been any news on the 'upgraded' US version coming to anywhere else? Namely the UK? I dont want to sign up to a contract to then see the better version released
Or would an imported handset from the US work in the UK?
3g high speed data wouldn't work in the uk. and before you ask no, flashing a different rom or radio wouldn't fix that, the frequencies are built into the hardware.
for the sake of the extra rom in my opinion it isn't worth it and to be honest I suspect they'll be difficult to get as they will be tmobile usa locked.

I don't see why 3G data wouldn't work. The handset is listed as 1700 (AWS) / 2100.
If it only worked on the T-Mobile USA bands they would have just listed it as 1700 (AWS) [even though it still needs 2100 to work on T-Mobile USA].
Without 2100 the phone could only be used in a tiny handful of countries - well, not even a handful really, which would very much destroy some of the appeal of the phone.
If you really want one then Ebay will be your friend. However considering all the problems this phone has had I wouldn't buy one that I couldn't return or exchange, I really wouldn't.
Oh ok thanks guys, just a thought.
Think i'll plump for the Uk one then & see what happens
Thanks
I asked htc back then, even if thair response was obviously the "commercial" one, it was clear enough, "that version of hd2 has been customized especially for tmobile usa and will not be available elsewhere also because it won't work on other networks." or something along those lines.
hi every body please help me in this
my cousin live in USA and his network is T-Mobile and he asked them for me if he buy the T-Mobile HD2 will give him the unlock code and their answer was yes .. so he will renew his contract and will get one for $250 >> and of course me who will pay ... this the first option
the second option is I buy the normal HTC HD2 from Amazon for $717
so now which option I should choose
- I am living in Egypt
- my network is Vodafone
- need Arabic on my mobile (read and write )
- need to try the roms
- this is the first time I use the windows mobile
and all of this I will be able to do it with the normal HTC HD2
so what about the T-Mobile HD2 ??
- can I apply on it the Arabic without problems ?
- can I use the Themes , games and the applications of the normal HTC HD2 on it easy ?
.
hope some one help me
I'll do my best to help you.
The biggest problem I see with you purchasing the US T-Mobile HD2 is the 3g band. People are pretty sure that the US T-Mobile HD2 will work on the 2100 band (Asia/Middle East/Europe 3g band), but no one has actually tried it from what I can tell, so we don't know if it works. You will receive Edge coverage of course.
If the 3g works in your area or you don't care about 3g, then definitely get the US TMO HD2. The US version has more memory and is substantially cheaper than the unlocked HTC version. By the way, your cousin can also buy the phone for $450 without having to extend his contract for 2 years.
Keep in mind that in most cases T-Mobile will not give your cousin the unlock code till 40 days after purchase to avoid returns. You can also pay around $20 to get the code from an unlock site. If he buys the phone for $450 he can get the unlock code within a few days from T-Mobile.
Yes, you can put all the themes, games, and applications made for the HD2 on either the US HD2 or the unlocked HTC HD2.
Yes, you can put Arabic language, or any ROM made for the US HD2. The ROM has to specify the US version or the larger memory size. You CANNOT use any ROM on the US HD2 because some ROMs are for the unlocked HTC HD2 with the smaller memory and can damage the US version if used.
I hope all this makes sense and your questions are answered.

You're welcome.
You can follow the thread below to see if anyone tries it in Europe or Asia and we'll have the answer to the 3g working outside the US.

As for flashing the ROM, don't be worried, a lot of the ROMs out there will work on the US HD2. The phone has been a pretty hot seller here, so a lot of people will be working on the US version and more ROMs and mods will be released for sure.
Don't buy it. Phone pretty. Windows killing it
You need both Upload and download frequencies in the mobile matching your provider to get 3G.
2100 is the download freq, which is common to both Americas and EU, but US had 1900/850/1700 for upload and EU uses 900.
You have to make sure both the freq are supported by the phone. At the looks of it I'm pretty sure the TMOUS HD2 will not have 3G for you in Egypt.
Everything else you asked for can be done in both phones.

Egypt 900 1800 3G 2100
HTC HD2
HSDPA 900 / 2100
HSDPA 850 / 2100 - American version
and it works great in Egypt
T-Mobile HD2
HSDPA 1700 / 2100
and I do not know the different and this will not work in Egypt ???
I can call My Network to ask them but I don't know what is the question ?

that is I saw it rell every day I s some thing new here for T-Mobile HD2
waiting yous replies
thank you all
THe question here is, although T Mo us use umts 850 and 2100 for their 3g, one up one down, i also seem to remember when reading up on umts/hsdpa/blahblah that some networks use the same band for up and down. If that were so, is the hd2 capable of holding a two way connection on one band? ie 2100?
(I may be completely mistaken, of course )

That's exactly my thinking too. Europe and Asia use 2100 up and down for 3g data, and they use 900 for Edge and voice. The only question with the US HD2 is if the 2100 band supports up and down or only down. Some specs for the US HD2 show 1700/2100 and also 2100 by itself, which makes some of us believe it will handle Euro/Asia 3g. We won't know for sure till someone unlocks a unit and drops a 3g sim in Asia or Europe and reports back.
Let's keep our fingers crossed.
T-Mobile USA, FTW!!!
In my opinion, "de-branded" hardware is always superior, but for once... not in this case.

let your cousine buy you nexus one or htc desire wm6.5 is dead
I already bought one!
Hey Everyone
I'm from Egypt. I already bought a t-mobile htc hd2 (TM), after doing a hell of a survey about the differences between it and the international. They r different in size, slight taller in TM and ofcourse branded.
There r red and green keys(end and answer) instead of the white in the international.
Band differences, but i searched for the unlocked TM, ppl confirm 3g working for carrier networks outside the US(philippines, germany, sweden, UAE, brazil)!!! So i guess it will work in Egypt since the band is 2100, i hope it's for both ways up and downloads.

Bigger ROM (1)
16gb microSD included in the box
The TM is alot cheaper even if it's sold already unlocked, i got it worth 470 $ unlocked from ebay but will come to me through a friend.
I will try my vodafone sim and see how it works and will give feedback.
I hope the 3g works as i guessed!!
Finally!!!
Wooooooooooooohhhhhhoooooooooooo!!!
Just got the phone, and the 3g network is working perfectly like a charm!!!
Thank God!!
Awesome phone!!! I love hTC!!
So that makes Africa included with the others and especially Egypt for the TMOUS working for 3g network outside the US!!
Go ahead HD2 lovers BUY........ and ENJOY!!!
So, I'm in Hong Kong for a mo. and looking for a Smartphone that can sync with my Outlook (mainly contact, cal, and to-dos). I was gonna get the HD mini but after I did some research, it doesn't seems to support 3G in the state. I'm with AT&T right now. Has anyone heard anything about it?
Thanks a lot!
I asked a similar question a month or so back and ended up talking to myself. We have the same problem with Telstra in Australia - need to use HSDPA 850 like in the US.
The current crop of HD Minis are only HSDPA 900/2100 which works everywhere else (and in Australia on other networks). I believe Telstra in Australia are working on tweaking a local release version here which will be HSDPA 850 but they are cagey about a release date. You may be able to pick up one of them (at an exorbitant price) and use it in the States when they become available.
I have also seen threads where people were asking if other phones that have been blocked from using HSDPA 850 because of Qualcomm's US patent infringement ruling can be opened up to use all available HSDPA frequencies via firmware. There seems to be some haziness over whether the restriction is hardware or firmware related.
If anyone has knowledge of this in relation to the HD Mini that would be appreciated...
Hi!, Do you have any news on this??? thanks!
