Hello all, new to this site and the Touch HD so apologises if this is posted in the wrong place or if my terminology isn't the best. I am hoping someone can give me a little advice and help. I have recently bought an unlocked Touch HD as I was getting bored with my Nokia N97. The UK network (3) I am with does not offer the HD on contract but can provide "settings" to make the phone work with the network provider.
Now this is where it gets tricky (I think), the network offers the background settings by phone make only, and the Touch HD was in that list (as was the HD2). But the phone I bought from ebay was upgraded from Windows Mobile 6.1 to 6.5, would this effect the settings I would need to get? Would I need to choose the settings for the HD2 since it runs Windows Mobile 6.5 as standard or will the Touch HD setting be ok (I assume the settings are for using the phone online?). Or will the phone and all it's function just work since it has been unlocked?
Hope this makes sense and someone can help me out.
Cheers in advance for any help.

Hi there.
I recently purchased an MDA Touch Plus (HTC Touch Dual) locked to T-Mobile - I am currently waiting for oli to send me the unlocking took after paying the £5 so can't do a lot at the moment obviously, but just so I am prepared I thought i'd ask.
Now, ultimately, I intend to use this phone on O2 Simplicity, but for the next couple of months i'm on 3 mobile still.
Can I use this phone on 3 mobile straight away or do I need to change anything? I have heard people say it can't be used on 3 mobile but others say it works fine, http://www.johnwordsworth.com/blog/ says he used a TyTnII on 3 with no problems but he downloaded 3.cab from here - what is this 3.cab and what does it do? Do I need one for the Dual?
Any help and assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time and effort.
Once you have unlocked it you would need to gain a cab for whatever service provider you are intending on using, the cab will contain important settings enabaling mms, text, gprs setting for that network provider. my device was locked to orange after unlocking i simply installed the t-mobile cab i found on this forum and was able to use the services i needed, hope this helps.
Anyone know where I can find the 3 Mobile (UK) .cab for the Dual? I have had a look but it is difficult to search for '3' to be honest.
How do I debrand the Dual so it doesn't have the T-Mobile icons, such as Web n Walk etc?
heres for cab http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=301279 - cant remember how i got rid of all the orange bits on my device think poked around in file explorer and removed a lot of bits from there
I've used a Touch Dual on 3UK since before Christmas - works fine for me. The only thing that doesn't work is 3's own pages, i.e. their music store, TV, etc etc but that's not a problem for me personally.
Has anyone out there had sucess with installing Blackberry Connect on the US version of the HTC Touch Dual and operating as designed? I had blackberry connect working on my two HTC Touch's but need to have it on the HTC Touch dual since this is my new primary business phone. Can anyone lend some direction on the situation?
Regards,
Jay
bb version
I am trying to get to work with the neon200, which it seem like the same model as the U.S version. What version of bb connect have you try? With the previous HTC touch that you got it to work, was it flash with custom ROM or was it original ROM?

Does it have to be WM6.1? What Rom are you running. I´ve made a custom rom for the Neon, you can try that. I dont have a blackberry account so i really cant try.
I´m trying to port to wm6.1 and i´ve asked if someone would be kind enough to dump a rom of a US Touch Dual but so far no one has been kind enough to do so.

My original HTC Touch was equipped with the orginal ROM and I used the 4.0..97 BB connect. It worked on both of my touch phones but this touch dual is different. I wouldn't mind using another ROM but I do not want to loose my radio version because it is configured for 850 which I need here in the states. My windows mobile is 6.1. I really like this phone but I need BB connect to be operational on the unit otherwise I cannot be efficient with my business.
Below are my device specs:
ROM Version: 2.21.422.04
ROM Date: 05/06/08
Radio Version 1.65.20.19
Protocol: 25.86.40.04w
I couldn't get it to work with the stock Rom on the Touch Dual I bought at Best Buy. I don't know why it works with some phones like the Tilt but not others.
I was able to install it but when I tried to get BB Connect Active Sync to configure my Enterprise server config I got the PIN 0 error.
I remember wasting so much time with either the Wizard or another phone last year and just don't have the time to research further.
Same here. Have had it working on another Touch, as well as other WinMo phones, but don't want to spend a ton of time again to get this working. Why must RIM be such idiots and make it so hard?! Create one client, limit the capability so a RIM hardware device is always better somehow[like 10 email accounts in BIS, versus only 3 on the WinMo client], but don't limit the devices that can use a BBC client! It makes no sense really...
I am just about to bid on an unlocked Touch HD - I am currently using HTC Hero on 3UK ..... I love the phone but want a windows mobile phone also (dont ask why but I have always had wm)
The question I would like to ask if anyone can assist me is , on previous htc wm phones I have had, there is a internet connection wizard which configues the phone for internet .and most time it prompts when the sim is inserted
3 dont support in theory the touch hd and there are no connections shown on the three website but I know I can use it if unlocked which the one im looking at is ...
Can anyone tell me if the phone has internet wizard ??
Thanks chris

yes it can
I have a Problem after the upgrade to 6.5
When trying to register to my network it says - "Cannot register on selected network. choose another network or disconnect your data connection and try again"
when inserting a SIM of another network (orange) it works 100% and when i put my SIM of (Cellcom) it give me that error unable to register.
any ideas on how to overcome this issue ?
thanks.
check out ppcgeeks.com for this there is still alot of roms being created for the treo pro than here on xda
u should be able too...
6.5 sucks on a Treo. The start menu is gone and replaced with honeycombed icons that are very awkward on a smaller screen like the Treo has. I saw no benefit from the upgrade at all to justify the additional headache.
ive upgraded mine and its a breath of fresh air. Titanium blows away the 6.1 today screen. Any limitations are those of microsoft. ppcgeeks.com

It was hardware issue
Thanks guys for your help,
I figured it out it was hardware issue,
Network oin roaming worked because it consumes more power
in home due to less power consumption it was not getting network
For any 1 who knows about hardware repair , The person who repaired just disassembled it and gave hot blow airr on the circuits it voila it worked:laugh:
Though he charged me rs.500 ( around 15 US dollar) just for hot air Im glad it worked
