When I'm roaming, I generally find that being able to select the provider is beneficial to me, since some I am able to get free text messages/GPRS on and the like, so, simply...
How do I change the operator on the PDA?
well, look at that, found what I was looking for right after I posted the question, feel free to ignore.

Just had my HTC Touch 3G on the UK orange network for a few days and have been trying to set it up for my personal tastes etc...
The Orange UNIQUE function, is there a way to just have WiFi on or off, not the hybrid thing that orange seem to want you to use. On my previous HTC phone , a Titan, I just stopped GPRS connectivity and used WiFi but with the UNIQUE setup it doesn't seem possible to do this..
The contacts list, is there anyway to show the list with first name FIRST... I have tried to find a option in the setup menus but have not managed it yet..
Most if my contacts are on first name terms.. I know to look for Joe, Fred or Sally but trying to remember the last name or if I just saved as Joe @Garage etc is a pain for me...
Strange but if I view a individual contact, it appears in the correct order, First name first, last name last etc...
Any thoughts, help etc would be appreciated on a otherwise (so far anyway !) very good device..
Thanks Phil-w
The unique thing is bobbins, I contacted orange about it and the lady in customer services basically admitted that it meant I wouldn't be able to use wifi for normal data connections! So I took the plunge and flashed it to standard HTC ROM, all is well now! I would recommend you do the same!
Yeah as jmrenshaw said just flash your phone with htc rom.Those operator roms are blocking many things on the phone.Good luck.
Where can I get the standard ROM from HTC
Hi everyone,
I'm having a nightmare of a time with Orange's changes to the phone. I want to have the phone as it would be if I bought it offline. Please help me with this.
I assume I need to flash the ROM to the standard ROM but where do I get a hold of this and how do I flash the ROM? And would I be able to get back to Orange's setup in case need to warranty purposes?
Any help would be appreaciated.

What you can do is: put first names in "File as" field, then the contact list will display first names. "Files as" will default to last name.

Yes I have seen the thread you suggest, so many thanks however, as I say in my seperate thread - it is not the "reading" of the tutorial but it is the actual carrying out of the advice because of my physical disabilities.

I've managed to do what you want to do by using one of the dumps posted on the forum here and converting that into a ROM and then flashing the phone with that ROM. Its quite straight forward but I guess you're asking if someone can do that for you. Where abouts are you based?

Yes thanks, I am asking if someone will do it for me - sorry if I was vague but get a bit embarrassed! I have to use my mouth to type so using a "Touch" phone is great but when it comes to more intricate and complicated tasks, I am afraid it gets too difficult. I will be happy to pay of course - postage as well as paying for the job to be done. I just want to get rid of the Orange branded software as I find their software is too "fidly" and I also find that normal access to wifi is easier for me when not using Orange's silly "Unique Manager".
I am based in the UK.
EDIT - NOW SORTED - THANKYOU
Thanks Azahidi,
Slowly going through all the cantacts entries, pity there is no GLOBAL way to change the name order. (Unless I have missed it !!)

Hi Ziffos,
I didn't quite understand the bit at the end 'EDIT - NOW SORTED - THANKYOU'. Does this mean that you've managed to get your phone flashed? If you have then great! If not then I might be able to do it for you. Let me know.
Any help apreciated????
Hello
I have just read all the posts here about the Unique Manager and I completely agree. It is a nightmare, Orange UK have wrecked this phone. I have just got my Mrs. a contract on this phone as I intend to set up sat nav on it for her and I have the touch HD, so off the back of your comments I am looking to flash it.
It is running V1.71 and from reading the thrads I have to revert it back to V1.41, how easy did you find it to debrand it as it appears many people have had problems and I am worried about rendering the phone useless!!!!
I have never done anything like this before but I do understand the instructions as they are very indepth, but I am worried that if any exceptions or problems present themselves I won't be able to deal with it.
How straight forward is this process?
Any help is very much appreciated.
It was a long process but worth it!
Hi there,
I've flashed my phone about 2 weeks ago now and am having a much better experience. Actually I really love the phone now so my advice would be to go for it and flash it. I didn't actually read too many of the comments, I just followed the instructions and did it. Maybe just as well as I might have been put off.
Anyway the process was very long winded as I had to take someone's raw dump and then convert that into a ROM and then flash the phone with it. Took quite a long time but I definitely feel that it was worth it. I don't know how risky it is so can't really advise you on that.
I can send you the ROM file that I did generate if you want do it. I hope it goes as smoothly as it did for me if you do decide to go ahead with it.

does the UMA ability to connect to orange network via a wifi access point then a cell tower still work
thanks

for the benefit of people who may be subscribed to this thread, I think I have found a fix for the orange rom using data connection instead of wifi, read on here:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4517074&postcount=12
post back to that thread if it works for you!
I know I didn't invent the wheel or anything but I always wanted a way to send the .cab files I find here straight to my phone and couldn't find a way so I created the site: http://sendtophone.info
basically it gives you a badge for people to click, it sends the link to the cab to their phone over txt. I also made a firefox extension so you can click on any link anywhere and send it to your phone. full details are on the site including a code generator for the lazy among us.
Just thought I'd give back a little, you guys are welcome to use it. You have given me countless awesome apps and top notch advice.
Example:
i wont be eager to use this or give my phone no/details online but maybe others might find this useful!
I just download the file and email it to my phone. Why get another party involved?
i guess it's another way to be able to dl from your phone, but if i'm on a computer, i just send an IM with the link to my mobile aim name, which sends a text to my phone.
edit: actually, how does this work? do you get charged for sending the text from you site? and i'm assuming you can send any links...
i think he's using some sorta script from their website (ie.att.com)
I wish this site supported Rogers....wink wink...nudge nudge
but for now i use msn ...which stopped recently...gotta get that working again....
Nice idea have added it here : http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2009/07/13/send-to-phone-a-site-to-send-links-to-your-ppc-via-sms.html
Glad some find it useful. Just to let you know we do not store ANY info. we have no logs, no database, nothing. the only info that COULD be saved is your phone number & carrier can be saved in a cookie on YOUR computer. hope that makes people feel better. I wrote the script with privacy in mind for people like xda users.
If your carrier isn't listed go to our about page to send us a message.
RE:
Bundo: I also downloaded and emailed, but its 2009! "they" should have this worked out by now. and most importantly I'm lazy and impatient.
downloading, watching emails send, waiting to receive, downloading again all suck. I love it every time I use it.
Too much security !!
I like this a lot, but find it a slow drag to have to type the two words! Since you can select to create a cookie, can you skip the security if cookies is checked?
By no means an expert, so this may be a dumb question.
well with bots the way they are no, i can't remove the captcha. maybe if I think of some other way. but no promises

Now that I think about it a little more . . . . I'm on board.
glad to hear it!
tell me by rogers do u mean rogers wireless in canada?
I'm pretty proficient in php. Does this just send an email to [email protected] (ex [email protected])?
So you only send the link... not the actual file?
Pretty cool stuff. If it is php it doesn't need much to run so it should be pretty safe. I'm just wondering if it comes across as a message or an email. Would be cool to just send the whole file, but it would be a lot more complicated and require uploading files (which can get bad).
yeah its just simple php. it sends the link as a txt message. i wish i could send the actualfile! it works pretty well, i use the firefox addon i made so it works on every link everywhere
Looks like a good plan any chance of adding support for O2-UK? Or is it stuck to US networks?

it would work on any carrier that allows [email protected] message conversions. He just has to know the ending so he can add it to the drop down box.

Well, what if the file is later pulled from the internet, or you can't find it again? If you first download it to your computer, then you have a permanent backup in case of phone failure or loss, as well as an easy way to send it to friends.
very cool ...good job!
Incredibly useful....See what searching does?
There's a number (1) in my taskbar, and i don't like it there
I suspect it's the line the phone uses, but where do I disable it?
It would make a lot of people a little happier if someone found a solution for this.
It's actually a "feature" that comes from your SIM card. If you don't find an easy hack, you can try to ask your operator if they can provide you with a less feature-rich one.
Ok, but how come it didn't shown on my previous phone (Qtek S200, I know, piece of history that is )?
hi, does anyone have found an answer for this? 'cuz i changed my provider and since then i got that number in my taskbar!
so, if anyoe has a solution, could u please share it?
thx!
trying to get at&t settings on t-mobile hd2...phone was unlocked but can't get internet or mms...can anyone help?
Its kind of annoying that some people dont use proper descriptive titles for their topics, and then you get people like this who dont even bother with one at all
Indeed it is, especially for something that can be found in literally one search.
Try here..........

Sorry, I don't have an answer for you, but you may get more responses if the title of your thread was more meaningful than "GUYS" - many people choose whether or not to read a thread based on its title, so it's a good idea to use a title that indicates to people what your question is.

Ringer Time
Too bad there is no way (currently) of customizing the network settings like we had through WM6.5.
I can't tell who your provider is nor where you are located, but for TMOUS I am sure the ring time before rolling over to voicemail is 30 seconds.
Try to find out the gsm codes of your provider to set the times manually.
For T-Mobile Germany its like **61*your number**time in sec.#
*#61# for checking status
##61# for turn of, this means the max. time
your very right next time I do it right and thanks
