I love my wing ...but connecting to my pc is impossible ...so I called up tmoble and they said I get the phone discount in 5 month...any one with the g1 how do you like it
Why do you ask your question in the Herald Forum?
In the G1 part you would meet more users with this Phone.
It´s a very nice Phone *g*

I live in the uk and flashed my trinity (htc p3600) last night using one of the roms I found here, I think it may have been an asian/english one, I cant be sure, then used the sim/cid unlock rom, now I'm still using the same sim as I always have, but now I seem to have totally free mobile internet, is this usual or have orange started being generous to all its customers lately?
Orange being generous? Well, wait for your next bill before you celebrate...
heh
perhaps I should mention that I'm on pay as you go and I dont have any credit on it, plus I bought my trinity secondhand (£120...not too bad) and it came with a pre-registered sim card from the previous owner....so, as immoral as it is, I aint gettin no bill.
with those few more informations, it does sound better to me, indeed...
Well, I see two possibilities then:
1)
I'm afraid there is a previous owner who is looking for you with a gun in his pocket.
2)
One of the Orange's system engineer is going to get fired soon.
But I agree with you, this is another story. Keep enjoying your free, unlimited internet connection, mate!
Woohoo:d :d :d :d :d
120? Free internet? Wear a hardhat, you're way too lucky, m8
Okay, so I had the Apache since it first came out, then it fell off my motorcycle last weekend, so I got a new phone (actually 2 new phones). I got the Herald (T-Mobile Wing), and the Titan (Verizon XV6800). I decided to test T-Mobiles phone with a 30 trial contract (I'm a loyal Verizon customer for 8 years), and get the Titan. Both of these phones are brand new (purchase last 2 days).
I'm pretty much going over all the same things I did when I had the Apache (ROM upgrades, skins, apps, etc...). I noticed the ROM on the Herald is different.
The Herald has ROM version 4.10.531.3 WWE.
The Titan has ROM version 2.09.605.8.
Herald has Radio version 02.83.90
Titan has Radion version 1.30.60
The Herald came with the Voice Command (which is nice), and the HTC Task Manager. The Titan seems to run a lot faster out of the box compared to the Herald, but this is probably due to the fact that T-Mobile installed so much crap on their phone.
Also, I noticed the keypad types much faster on the Herald as opposed to the Titan. I had to disable the sounds to get it to type as fast (fix?).
Anyways, I was wondering if there is any way to extract .cab files from one phone to another. Also if anyone has any questions about the phones, feel free to ask.
I understand the wing to have vastly inferior specifications to the mogul. I looked it up when my gf wanted a blackberry. I was trying to talk her into a wm device but I gave up when I found out that the only similar thing tmobile has to the mogul is the wing. The tmobile rep said that its successor is coming out later this year. I assume that it will be the kaiser or something similar. I think they are calling their new wm phones the shadows or something like that. (the tmobile rep was not to bright so I take what he says with a grain of salt. He said that it will be very much like the wing,with the sliding keyboard and all. I suggested it might be the kaiser,and he swore up and down it could not be,becuase they were calling it something like shadow II.)
In any event, the mogul has a much faster cpu than the wing. This comes with overheating however when you connect to the internet over cellular and use the wifi at the same time. I keep sending it back and complaining. Either they will fix it in a new revision,or they will have to upgrade me. I am not to happy as I paid a lot of money for something that does not work well,but there is no other phone that meets my needs for now.
Hi Guys, well god only knows how but I have lost my Ameo 2 weeks back... thankfully I have the T-mobile insurance. However there are no Ameos about and so I now have a TytnII which is surprisingly good... although I miss the wonderful VGA screen .
Anyway I got to thining about my lost baby. Now T-Mobile have blocked it, and its reported as lost so I guess if anyone switches it on they will get barred from UK Networks (assuming they are still in the UK of course!) and hopeully it can be tracked by cell? What I was thinking though is that even when it's blocked are the buggers who now have it able to use it as a brilliant GPS unit still? I had TomTom and iGo 8 on it!!! Can it be tracked and caught that way maybe? It really peeves me to think that someone could use it as a GPS and get it for free instead of handing it in!!
Anyways hopefully somone will tell me the GPS wont work if it blocked, or that it will be tracked and the buggers caught!! Here's hoping... oh and if they go abroad will it still be blocked? Did UK set up international blocking or not? As I hear a lot of stolen phones end up in Asia and the Far East now!
The simplest way to catch the burglar is to wait the IMEI appearance on the network, tracing the phone position using the network info AND the SIM card subscriber's data!
Agreed - but im thinkin if its blocked and they decide its a nice gps now, they can stick it in flight mode and use it like that?
Sorry but the GPS will definately still work, as it is completely unconnected from the phone, however it wont work aswell because the software "Quick GPS" requires an active data connection to allow a quick lock ! so now they will have to wait a while everytime for the GPS to lock !
If you had installed the Free WIMP (where is my phone) software, you would be able to track your phone yourself !
T-mobile wont track by cell as they are not a law enforcement agency, and the police don't care it's just another lost mobile to them !
you can still text. i used to have a blocked ameo, i didnt steal it myself, long story.. but anyway, it could still send and recieve texts and connect to the 3g/hsdpa networks. because as far as i know, only calls check your imei
rory
He's correct: you can still use GPRS/3G/HSDPA on a blocked handset. Blocking only prevents GSM functions such as texting and phone calls.
If someone has a data only SIM card (or perhaps buys one of the Hutchinson 3G pay as you go SIMs) then they will happily be able to use your Ameo as a portable web/GPS unit, and unfortunately there is no way that anyone will be caught for this, despite what the Network or the police might tell you.
On the subject, a TyTn 2 seems like a big monetary step-down from an Ameo, could they not order you one in?
Bugger! Someones got a nice cheap web tablet then!!
I had to have a phone quick or I'd lose work so I had little choice.. plus I was due an upgrade anyway on my tarrif in 3 weeks time so I was thinkin of upgrading to the new 16GB version - but they have no idea when it will arrive!! Ooh i noticed Orange do the Shift now - but I just bought an eeePC so dont really need that now... hmmm.. what to do?
I doubt T-Mobile will release the 16gb model as the AMEO didn't shift too well and I think their bods will deem its updates insufficient to create enough market appeal.
The Shift is a shot in the dark and is VERY expensive considering that you'll be paying not much less than the SIM-FREE price for an 18 month contract AND you'll probably need a second phone most of the time. Also, owing to its HSDPA and integrated windows the likelihood of you going over your 3gb allowance and being charged by the megabyte is very high. At least on T-Mobile you'll only get a letter after 3 months of abusing - in fact I've been over my Web N Walk Plus allowance pretty much every month this year and I've not even received a telling-off letter!
I would say that waiting for the Touch Diamond, selling it and buying an x7510 which would mean about a 250 pound supplement, would be the best idea OR send your Vario 3 back and they'll offer you a reduced-rate contract instead of a handset then simply buy a Shift or an x7510 by your own means...
Sad to say, but I'm pretty sure whoever got your lost Ameo is reading this now. :C

Yea they probably are!
I have to say I am getting quite attached to the Vario3 apart from the screen - not sure what to do now I have the eeePC as would I use the Ameo much? Blimey what to do!

If you've got an EEE stick with that and the Vario 3 and use the Vario for your internet connection. It'll actually be better than the Shift connection-wise as (as far as I'm aware) the Shift doesn't support HSUPA, only HSDPA.
There's an extended life battery for the EEE which I'm looking to get as it should extend its life to over five hours: the Shift, with its naff battery life is nothing compared to a light, solid EEE combined with a Vario 3. Sounds like you might be best to stick with what you've got.
Currently I'm balancing an EEE, an HTC Universal an a Nokia N95. It's not exactly convergence but holistically I've got the best of all worlds!
There's a bit of an argument going on at the mo as I am one of the unlucky eee900 owners who have the 4400mAh battery! Over at the eeeuser.com forums we are trying to get evidence of crap batteries so I cant talk to Taiwan again on tuesday/wednesday...
But i think you might be right - I might stick with the vario and the eee for the time being.
WOW I cant even imagine how you feel I have also installed WIMP and it works very well for lost or stolen phones. You may want to think about it for your future WM6 phones...TJ

An even better option is spb sprite terminator. It lets you lock the phone, change password, erase your sensitive files, find out who his friends are (hopefully you can get to him via his friend), among some useful features.
well i tried to flash my mogul but sometin went wrong lol . i tried but i gave up so i just called sprint and told them i lost it so it has a bad esn so it can only be used for parts or the other ways .
http://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/ those are the pics pm with youre offer im in los angeles so local pick up would be fine with me
... im not one to tell you what do do with your bad ESN phone... but if you are going to use a Mogul PERIOD id suggest donating it to HTCClassAction.org developers (once you contact/ask/confirm with them)... so maybe one day in the not so distant future we can have Hardware Accelerated GFX...
i cant do any of the real stuff i wanted to do on my Mogul (Emulation/Regular WinMo games, faster response when doing things...) because of this... $500 phone just being used as... well a phone...
Technically it is possible to change ESN

phone sold ,
Hey guys
Even though I am not exactly new here (I have been lurking for quite a while lol), this is my first post.
Couple of years back I got an original HTC Wildfire on Virgin Mobile, even though the phone didn't live up to expectations, as I was on a contract I stuck with it those two years. This past August my contract was up and I took the chance to jump ship over to T-Mobile and got myself a Samsung Galaxy S3!
Anyway, I decided to wipe the Wildfire and gave it to my girlfriend, got her a SIM only contract on T-Mobile and thought weyhey, all set. I'm happy with my new phone and she is happy with her Wildfire Result!
Only it wasn't quite a result, I found out shortly after that the SIM wouldn't work on the phone as it was still locked to Virgin :/ I contacted Virgin and they really weren't very helpful, which in my experience is pretty much how Virgin have always treated me :/ I contacted them before about the phone screen dying 6 months after getting the phone and they didn't want to help at all, luckily HTC fixed it for me for free Anyway I digress...
So I started looking on here to see how I would go about obtaining the "SIM Network Unlock Code"... After looking through a few posts, I decided to give htccode.com a try after one of your members mentioned it (leetvtr) - they looked the most professional... and I have to admit they kept to what their site said.
Within about 10 minutes of payment, I had my code, entered it and bam... phone is unlocked and works with the T-Mobile SIM
Now, this isn't about me trying to sell the service to you, I am not getting anything out of this. I am just pleased with the service I got from those guys, and wanted to say if anyone out there is in a similar situation and needs a SIM Network Unlock Code fast for their Wildfire in the UK, they seem to work wonders.
So +1 for HTCCode.com
Anyway, I hope you be more active on these forums now
Cheers guys
