Try that one, you just need to find the connection settings for your network.

What are some of the pro's of this Rom? The phone i have is from Orange, so it has all of the orange default stuff... Are the apps that come with it any different? Such as the wifi manager or camera? Just curious...

Yes. See the FAQ entry on Howard Forums - I wrote a piece on how to fix this. I am running the Imate ROM.

Can you point a link to the download that you mention in the FAQ.
I have the updated ROM but unable to get the GPRS working for T-Mobile USA. Many thanks in advance.
alright i got my GPRS back up and running.
i just added a new connection, called it T-MOBLE GPRS and set the access point to internet2.voicestream.com.
most people on this forum mention how this particular ROM seems to run faster, but i havent really noticed any performance increases yet
Possible help GPRS, etc
This might be of benefit to some with the GPRS trouble after update.
1. I did the Imate ROM update and had lots of trouble with GPRS MMS etc..
2. Didn't know how to fix so - I started over...
3. I installed the Qtek ROM and had the same connection issues.
4. Called T-Mobile - got a 3rd level tec and he suggested something I had not heard before. Now keep in mind that I had reset several times hard and soft. He had me go inot Comm and hit the phone icon - and turn it off and on. I am not sure exactly why - but it worked! His explanation was that since I was going back and forth between work and home that the phone (which is supposed to switch automatically didn't and) got locked somehow. I am pretty new to all of this but already did 3 ROM updates - so learning a lot.
5. Now all my connections work the way they are suppose to. Only ONE connection and that is wap.voicestream.com as it should be. My WiFi connection is blazingly fast! I am a happy camper - but I went around and around with this for about 2 days before getting a tec that gave me this advice.
Perhpas someone can tell me which is newer (better) the Qtek or the Imate ROM??
Thanks,
Shep
ok i have searched all over howard forums and here about the GPRS settings for T-Mobile USA.
in one particualr post it mentions you have to set the appropriate access point for your type of internet service. Personally, i have the T-Mobile total internet for $29.99.
I have applied both of these setting as my access point
internet2.voicestream.com and wap.voicestream.com
both of these settings allowed me to connect to the GPRS network, so i guess my question is which setting should i be using????
T-Mobile is shipping all these devices with wap.voicestream.com, and has opened the ports for people on the "real" internet service using it.
If you use "internet2", you will have problems with MMS, since you can't send MMS through that AP. There are workarounds for this but they are messy. My recommendation is that you use wap.

GPR settings, bluetooth...etz

Hi,
I'm a new user of SVP m3100. Quite happy with .
I just installed WM6 BM ,And works fine.
But I can not connect to O2 GPRS I tried to get the settings, use some .CAB that I found on this forum, change the details ... So many times. And still can not use it. Is that because I still have the Orange software on it? If so, how can I delete it? (so I'm not seeing the Orange logo everytime I switch on my device..)
Another question is about BT. I don't know if anything wrong on mine, or is all like this but, there is no way to , for example send a picture through BT ? I can not uset either to sync my device, so I'm always using USB.
Is that for any reason? Is the Hermes BT like this..? so what use has it, just connect with handsfree and GPS ?
Thanks for help, and sorry if that has been discused on the forum, but I couldn't find the information to sold it out.

HTC Hermes on Three Network in the UK?

I have been given a "Hermes" from the O2 Network (XDA Trion), I want to use it on the Three Network here in the UK. Are there any settings or software resets I need to do? I understand that this phone was not intended for this network, but it seems the best phone for my needs. Any comments? Suggestions? Tips?
Hope you can help! Thanks!

Hi. I did this recently. I flashed to schap's latest rom which had some way of automatically configuring the phone (but I don't know if that happens without the rom). In order to get to planet 3 (eg check balance) you will need to pretend to be an allowed phone (eg n95 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=341755&page=2 ).
If you need any help, just ask. Seems to work perfectly, and with schaps rom I get hsdpa .

HTC Touch 3G "Orange Unique"

Hi , I recently got a HTC Touch 3G from Orange as i had the HTC TyII and love that phone with the wifi and now i have this new phone that seems quite good however has been changed with the Orange Unique that allows you to connect to wifi but not use it , why would they do this? (money making). The Unique technology don't do any thing that it clams to do i don't seem to get better coverage or any thing, just high data costs and a low batter.
I want to use the wifi on my phone for the internet and google maps etc, is the only way around this to flash my phone to a ROM on this site ? If so i understand that is voids my warranty , but want to know if any one has done this successfully (Hope Orange hasn't put a block on Flashing etc)so that i can do the same because i do miss my wifi and may just go back to my HTC TyII .
Thanks
hi mate i got mine about 2 weeks ago.. n hacked the ass out of it... it too was Orange UK
i was disgusted when i got it to fined it would not use the wifi as a net connection! but it sure does now and i love it!

Wifi doesn't work at all
Hello there,
I am completely new to HTC world. Recently I bought Touch 3g locked to Orange and am currently using it with O2 after unlocking. Could never use its wifi until now with the Unique even on Orange.
I had only seen some web pages when connected through the Orange 3G.
Could you please let me know how can I remove the Unique and use it as non-Orange HTC?
Many thanks.
Touch 3g Orange
Guys, I have a touch 3g branded from Orange. Used Hard SPL - ensure you have the correct version, and that it installs correctly - reaad the hard SPL posts on how to do this - carefully - and read them again toensure you have the correct version and it loads correctly, then flash whatever rom you require - I went with the standard one and it worked first time, perfectly.
Wifi is rock solid, and it has lost all the rubbish suppressions that Orange introduced in their rom.
Good luck - reading around these forum will solve your issues no problem
Thank you neilcbennett!
I will try to work out hard spl. Wish me gud luck i'm doing this for first time!

I did all of this but used the updated official ROM from HTC. I could not get the file from the HTC website because it says my S/N is not compatible, I can only assume that this is because HTC have agreed to not release the software to Orange units forcing us poor customers to pay to use 3G internet rather than free WI-FI. A bit of searching led me to an English version hoseted on another website:

Works a treat and i love it!

Wifi & Orange on Touch 3G
Hi Guys,
I specifically asked in the shop that it run WiFi and was ,mis-informed by the sales guy. Not his fault he was brain washed.
Anyway, came here did Hardspl & Tommy34's rom. Its great solved a battery drain (auto off wans't working) & I'm now able to easily turn off 3g until I really need it or get an o2 eqivalant tariff. WiFi works perfectly.

After updating the ROM, can you guys still use Orange 3G or do you have to use an alternative provider for internet access?
Those of you that still have the original orange UMA software, I think I have a fix for you that allows UMA to still work but uses your own wifi. Perhaps someone could roll it in to a cab or executable for me if it works.
Make sure you have disconnected any gprs connection that you may already have, change the registry key below and you can test whether it has worked or not by going to http://orangeworld.co.uk/ in a browser. If it is using your wifi you should get "The page you are trying to access is only available via your Orange phone, when connected via the Orange GPRS network. If you are a BlackBerry user trying to access via the BlackBerry Internet Service Browser please change your default Browser to OrangeWorld through which this portal is available."
there is a slight speed lag when resolving dns names I think, but maybe someone can refine the fix that I have come up with.
It has to be run each time the phone is booted:-
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{f792e23c-dc19-4668-9be4-f8688b4c18d6}\DSFLTR_UKSC_TNETW12511]
"DestId"="{436EF144-B4FB-4863-A041-8F905A62C572}"
------------
to restore the original value change DestID back to {4BECC613-31B8-4A62-80DC-893041D24D92}
Let me know how you get on.
I used sever155's link to the HK_WWE 2.33.721.1 Rom... and I too am very pleased with the transformation of my phone . thanks for sharing.

merci!!!!!
Like others - I've flashed a new ROM to replace the Orange one. It works great - but I need to return the phone to Orange for a replacement for another reason (found a defect in the case).
I dumped the original Orange ROM - and am all set to flash the device back to its original state.
But I forgot to make a note of the original ROM version number before dumping!
HTC Rom Tool allows me to enter anything but I assume when they get the phone back Orange will want to see an appropriate version number.
Anyone know what it should be for a new Orange branded HTC Touch 3G?
And the country ID for UK? And the model ID? Should it be Jade110 rather than Jade100?

Hey - a real big thanks to DJHICKS and all the others who his post on flashing a decent ROM on the HTC Touch 3G links to - I was going to ditch my new one from orange 'cus unique manager was so cr** - but he saved the day and taught me a whole lot of new stuff about PDAs!! Can't believe I'm now talking about flashing ROMs! THANKS
Unique service access to the internet
Hi All,
I have the orange touch 3g too and have been able to get on the net using the default rom without patches by using 2 steps.
First as the other post suggested stop the gprs (generic term for data access 3g or otherwise). I did this by changing the server name from "orangeinternet" to orangeinternet." this is done by manage connection from the connections tab on setting screen form the start menu. This stops any data connections.
Then once connected to your wifi at home got the unique manager and advanced setting, network adapter, there is a drop down list with work and internet on it. change it to work and then back to internet and ok it. Then you can get on the internet
The last step you have to repeat every time to you connect to the wifi as it forgets, I think the saved networks don't remember this, but if you don't used the saved networks and have the notification turned on it asks you if the network is internet or not which 'could' solve this problem, either way the steps above work reliably for me. I guess I should mention I have orange broadband too, so I get a unique connection too (the green house), this is the bit I hate the tariff is for orange to orange calls no other network, so I have to keep unique off unless I'm doing something on the internet as any call outside orange would be build as far as I can tell, I've not tried as I don't want the bill for it any info on this would be great.
Cheers
I have a solution
I put in on youtube go have a look http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1RTX3F1bPk thanks BrooksE
I have been unable to download this file - I wonder if it has been removed from mediafire. Have tried several times from different PCs.
Does anyone know where else I can download it from?
I am trying to free myself from Unique but so far have not succeeded depsite trying to follow the instructions in this thread!

[Q] Recently unlocked phone, 3g settings help

Hi there. I've recently sum-unlocked my phone, from orange to o2. I was wondering how I can change the 3g settings so they're the o2 ones, not orange.
I just unlocked my phone from orange to virgin,to change the settings i went to virgin site where everything i needed was there ,i expect you will have to go to the 3G site to get the info you want.
Okay, i'll try again.. thanks for the help. Is there any sort of guide on how to do this? Would be nice to just be able to follow one.
Remmy,
First, be sure that the 3G function is turned on at the Comm Manager. Then, try going to settings-> Connections-> Conection Setup (Or wizard) and, once there, choose your Country and operator. Let your fone configuring itself (it may restart). It may work!
Good Luck!
Stay in peace!
