ok so i'm a total newbie at things like this and this my first post/question... i am an att customer from reno nevada i've loved and used HTC phones since the first one came out years ago. i used to have a touch pro 2 aka tilt 2 but fell in love with my buddies HD2 from t mobile. i did some research and found that a telstra HD2 t9193 would work on ATT and get 3g. now i have the phone and i havent the slightest clue what to do. i cant go on the internet and cant customize the phone to me. i can make calls and txt msg but basicly nothing else. now i dont even care really if i get the 3g or not but i want to customize my phone like the quick links and programs and at least use the internet and have things like the weather updates. i cant do any of that.
to sum up i have the phone but alll i can do is make calls and txt msg nothing else,
can some one please walk me through how to set this stuff up and if and when you do assume i'm an idiot or a 3rd grader.
Have you gone into settings/wireless controls and turned on Data Connection?
Chances are he needs to change his APN settings for AT&T.
Well as far as I know the HD2 finds the APN settings. I use a European HD2 on Rogers Wireless, and it found the settings the moment the sim card was installed. But you're right. He should check the APN settings to be sure.
thanks for replying guys so i tried to go into settings>data connection and it gives me a message that 'this connection is pre-configured and cannot be modified.' also that all internet and data goes through telstra internet. and unfortunetely i have no idea what apn settings are or how to change them.
also i got a voicemail from a friend but when i tried to retreive it i got a recorded message about international codes and dialing if that helps you understand whats going on at all

The problem I had with leaving the Telstra rom alone was that the ROM itself is so bloated with the provider's extra features that couldn't be used here in the US, that simply tweaking the registry settings to properly setup my phone to the sim-card wasn't enough. I had to download HSPL. Install it on the phone, and ultimately flash a new rom and radio to finally get to where I wanted it to be at. Overall, I am more than happy with the T9193.
You might want to do the same as well, since flashing the ROM will enhance your experience using the phone (Clean install is always better) and flashing a new Radio will give you better frequency management (Better reception with GPS and UMTS).
Any chance you could provide pointers to what ROM and HSPL you used for your Telstra HD2 on AT&T? I'd like to use an HTC stock ROM, but going to their site the ROMs I find say they won't work on my Telstra HD2 (based on SN).
Flash a different ROM.
The reason it doesn't work is because the stock ROM has the APN setup removed, and is preconfigured with Telstra's APN settings. Other HD2 Roms will have Connection Setup available so you can have AT&T's settings loaded.
lots of info in this thread.
the 1st HSPL version works, then most custom roms.
T 9193 running clean and stable with fair battery life
with all the bat. suckers running. See below for specs. Average 1.3 Mbs down. Stream movie or TV on H with no problems.
flash custom
Yes. I am using a Telstra T9193 in CA, had the same issue. Also, most custom ROMs automatically configure the data/connection settings, which is very nice.
~Anastasia~best rom ever. so far

again thanx guys i really appreciate all the help and the links to more info and i fell good now. ive spent the last 6 hrs reading and learning more. i am going to flash the rom and put a new one on. if you guys could post some links to some good roms i'd appreciate it as well. i think i'm looking for something close to HTCs basic but something that will still work w/ AT&T
also i'm looking to learn how to put HSPL on my phone my version says SPL-1.66.0000 i see on the links how to for other models but i havent found how for this perticular one
i think you have to down grade first by flashing a telstra 1.48 or 1.49 rom.
that should bring your spl down to 1.42.
then you can flash hspl 1 and next the htc generic rom
when i bought my telstra, it came with spl 1.42 and so all i had to do flash hspl 1, then i flashed an oem htc rom.
ok so looking around i found this page on ppcgeeks,,com (wont let me post the real link) and on it it has a hardSPL2 that says it should work with 1.66 i'm still a little confused as to what i'd need to do. is this a good safe thing or not?
oh just saw that the person who created the HSPL2 is a member on here called bepe again though is this a good safe thing? i dont want to screw the phone up
from what i read in the past was that hspl2 doesnt work on telstras hd2. it might have changed since then and i havent kept up on it since ive already flashed mine.
you need to research more to see if that is feasable for the telstra hd2.

Are you able to get 3G on Rogers with a European HD2? I thought the European phone only supported 900 & 2100 HSPA whereas Rogers needs 850 or 1900 HSPA for 3G.
I did a little searching around but didn't find much useful.
Anyways, About a week or so ago my HD2 running ChuckyROM-23125-Tabtastic.Jun.30.sfx, started displaying only the E for Edge data speeds. Normally, I would always have an H.
Any help?
May be the Rom, were u always using this Rom? Do you have the latest radio or software update? If not try updating your software or radio for your band. You can also try a different Rom to see if you have the same issue.
Good luck.

That's odd that it would start acting that way out of the blue (which is what you're thinking, I'm sure lol).
I don't know for sure what's causing that, but here's where I'd start:
-Make sure that your network settings on your data connection haven't somehow gotten switched to "GSM" instead of "WCDMA". If you see the setting is at "Auto", then go ahead and select "WCDMA" and see if that clears it up
-How old is the sim card in your HD2? If it's more than a year old (i.e. you brought it over from your previous phone), you might want to get a new one from T-Mobile...it seems that older sims can have compatibility issues with the new HSDPA network that's being rolled out.
-If neither of those two help out, then try a flashing a different radio (just do NOT use any .51 radios, those will brick your US HD2). I know the one you've been using has worked fine until now, but again with the backend changes Tmo is making on the network, it's possible that the one you have just doesn't do as well in your location anymore.
Other testing methods I'd suggest include seeing if you have the same issue in other areas than you're usually using, and also see if anyone else you know in the same area on Tmo is having the same problem.
i believe it may be my SIM card. It is over two years old and has been on every phone i've owned(about 6).
Also, i couldn't find anything about changing from GSM to WCDMA, only something about enabling and disabling HSDRA/HSUPA

Yes, I'd def say it's time to get a newer sim Please post back here and let us know if that resolved the issue.
In the settings tab on your slider, click on "wireless controls", then tap the "phone" entry (not the swich, but the bar to the left of it), and on the following screen scroll to the bottom and choose "change baseband"...then you'll see the options there under "network type."
Hi,
I apologize if it's the wrong forum or if I missed something in my search over the forums (and internet).
Current setup :
HTC Legend rooted, flashed with Azure 1.0.1 (cyanogen 6.0)
Kernel 2.6.29
Baseband 47.26.35.04u_7.05.35.26L
Issue :
For some reason I can't get my 3G connection stable. eg. When I enable Wifi - 3G drops (which is set up that way), but when I disable Wifi 3G doesn't come back up. Even though the settings are correct.
I'm having a hard time getting any mobile data correctly going, it generally requires me to enable/disable wifi and reboot the phone several times.
Basically I've tried factory resets, checking the settings (config of mobile networks too), it doesn't stay in 2G mode, ... I've test with other Cyanogen based roms and it's the exact same issue. Is it possible this is due to a radio being wrong or is it possible it's actually the phone?
So:
- 2G only is DISabled
- Mobile data is enabled
- wifi off
- settings (mobile connection parameters) are correct
- tried different roms
- checked in places I know I should get a good connection (My provider is Telenet, they use the Mobistar network, my previous provider was mobistar. So the coverage should remain the same.)
I am at my wits end and do apologize if this is a stupid question, but I can't think of anything else that could interfere with this.
Have you tried to leave the 2G/3G settings by default? That is, not to disable 2G. It is anyway switching to the best it can aquire, so if you have strong signal you should get allways 3G. I never had these problems with any ROM I've tried...nightly, Azure, RC1/RC2

Quick solution : put one of HTCs widgets for mobile network on your homescreen and as soon as you turn WiFi off toggle the mobile network widget and 3G should start working again . It's a hit or miss though.

Must have used the wrong keywords >.< Sorry. Though thank you for the link, it is EXACTLY the prob I am encountering. At least now I know it's not the rooting that caused it.
About the HTC widget : I've used it, but it's indeed a hit or miss. Best solution seems to switch to 2G and switch back to 3G that way.
Leaving all the settings at standard (and the most recent flash to the CM RC1) helped with the overall connectivity though.
Hi everyone.
I recently picked up an HTC Wildfire, and am quite happy with the device, but something odd I've noticed with certain versions of firmware I've tried.
The situation is that I use m.telstra.com to look at my account charges and so on. Now so far if I've used a rom which has adbd running as root, I'm unable to reach that site using the mobile browser. It just times out. (For example Cyanogen mod 6.1 and 7rc1 and other 7 nightlies.)
Though if I use say the DK sense firmware (where adbd isn't running as root) it works fine.
I'm wondering if it's just me, or something other telstra users have noticed something similar at all..
Thanks,
Ivy
I am running Cyanogen Mod v6 (something) and I can't access 0.facebook. Apparently my mobile isn't a supported network, or that my phones IP address is blocked.
i have wildpuzzle on telstra, will check when i'm around wifi and report back.
i'd do anything to avoid using there call centre

The only issue is that the m.telstra.com page is that for the data to load you have to connect via 3G. That said, it should load a page telling you this.
The odd thing, with roms that have adbd running as root, it just times out.
Thanks everyone =)

could it be an issue of the telstra wildfires, run a slightly different frequency for 3g/wcdma i think its 850/ 2100mhz( from memory) as opposed to 900/2100 and the radio that comes with cm7 is 900/2100. do you get a 3g signal at all? just a theory
that being said i haven't flashed a different radio for wildpuzzle and i get 3g ok
I've been careful not to flash the radio on the wildfire so I don't think that is the root cause.
It's just something odd that's all.

Ok I found the issue.
I'd not checked the apn details. With cyanogenmod 7 the handset had defaulted to the telstra.wap apn not the telstra.internet apn.
When using the telstra.internet apn I'm able to get to the m.telstra.com page.

Hi everyone!
This is my first post on XDA, but I've been referring to it a lot lately and have to say that it is a great community.
I am hoping that someone can help me with my HD2 problem. I initially tried running an SD version of Android 2.3 on my HD2, it was great but I had no working 3G or GPS. I thought this was to do with the ROM build, and started to look for a new one to try out.
It was at this time that I learnt about NAND. Since then I have installed HSPL 2.08, MAGLDR and flashed MDJ's CyanogenMod 7 (v. 2.6) A2SD+. This is a ROM of Android 2.3.2. Note that before I did this I had Radio version 2.15.50.14, which I believe to be correct (for the reason of needing 576MB RAM).
Everything is now running great on my NAND Android except for 3G and GPS. I don't have the option for enabling 3G in the 'wireless & networks' menu, which I should.
I've searched around but all I can find is people saying that before you flash Android you must ensure you have a radio that is compatible with 576MB RAM. Correct me if I am wrong but I believe that Radio 2.15.50.14 is 576MB compatible.
The fact that I have no 3G AND no GPS does suggest that the radio may be incorrect (from what I know about them), but I don't know for sure. Can anyone help me out here?
I don't know if this info will help or make a difference to which radio I should use, but I am on O2 UK.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can offer any help! It is much appreciated!
have you made sure the o2 apn settings are correct ?
I am not familiar with O2 in the UK but since there is also T-Mobile in the UK, I am assuming that O2 is a competing SIM card carrier similar to ATT in the US for me. And if so, then I would think that O2 only can give you EDGE and not 3G. That is what happens when I try my HTC HD2 on ATT. Unless I am on T-Mobile, all other GSM carriers will only give me EDGE and not 3G. In regards to not obtaining GPS lock, I think it could be caused by the build you are on. Many of the builds are optimized for the location of the developer. I would then change your gps.conf file in your build to optimized GPS lock for you in the UK. Here is a link to the thread to help you change the gps.conf file on your phone:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=953630

Hi. Thanks for quick reply. I can go into my 'Access Point Names' menu, in 'Settings' > 'Wireless & networks' and can see multiple choices there. Seven of the options are for O2:
O2 UK (mobile.o2.co.uk)
O2 UK (mobile.o2.co.uk)
O2 UK Postpay MMS (wap.o2.co.uk)
O2 UK Prepay MMS (payandgo.o2.co.uk)
O2 MMS Postpay (wap.o2.co.uk)
O2 MMS Prepay (payandgo.o2.co.uk)
O2 UK MMS (idata.o2.co.uk)
I have no idea why some of them are identical or why there are so many for O2. However, I would have thought I should choose either of the top two, as I am on an O2 contract. If i select one of the top two then I can see the settings for that APN. The settings I can see that have values are:
Name, APN, Username, Password, MCC, MNC and APN type.
Should it be as simple as selecting an APN from the list or is there normally customisation required?

Hi. Thanks, that looks like something I need to find out for sure, although my 3G worked fine when I was running WM6.5 on O2, it was only when switching to Android that the problems arose. When I had the SD card version of Android I could go back and forth from WM6.5 to Android and would have 3G work in WM but not in Android, every time.
The good point about the SD card method was that if I ever really needed 3G I could easily reboot and use WM6.5, but of course now that I have a NAND version of Android I cannot do this, and so I am pretty keen to try and fix the problem so that I can use things like Google Maps when I am out and about etc.
Thanks again.

Doing a Google search it looks like O2 can give you 3G provided you have the proper APN settings. The different choices you listed will be based on what type of O2 plan you are using. Here is a link to a suggested APN setting if you are on the postpay MMS plan: http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f41/o2-uk-postpay-mms-internet-apn-settings-18558/

Hi. Thanks for the info and link. I tried the settings mentioned in the first link you provided and it worked! Brilliant! After I had input the new settings I had to go to 'Mobile networks' and re-tick 'Data enabled'. I now have a little 'G' icon in the status bar with an incoming and outgoing arrow above it and can browse web pages again! Ahh mobile connection, I have missed you!
By the way, that G icon, I've just Googled it and it seems it represents a GPRS connection, which is slower than EDGE. I have to say, this new connection is very slow (not that I'm complaining too much). Does this make sense to anyone? On the post I got the settings from (linked to above - I can't add URL's to posts yet as I'm a new user) I noticed that the users are saying that the settings will get 3G working, there was no mention of GPRS. Do you think my phone is defaulting to GPRS becuase it can't get 3G working?
Thanks!
I have exactly the same problem on orange. worked fine on wm6.5 but once i flashed android have had a night mare finding 3g coverage, but alot of ppl have 3g coverage on a nand android been trying to figure out why cant i, i also have that G but its really slow internet and cant talk on pingchat etc, gonna ring orange tomorrow n see if they can fix it/give me correct settings.

My 2G network option was always unchecked, but thanks for commenting anyway.
I seem to have a pretty much fully working connection now. I had the G icon (GPRS) when at work the other day, but once I went home I managed to get an E icon (EDGE), which was much faster. I don't know if I'll be able to get any faster than that (i.e. 3G or HSDPA), as I am assuming that is partly to do with my settings but also partly down to geographic location and coverage etc. But at least I have something now, I am very grateful for that much
In addition, my GPS seems to be working too (I started this post of with neither GPS nor my mobile networks working). It takes some time to get a lock on me, but it gets there after a few minutes. Fantastic!
Thanks so much to everyone who posted comments, I appreciate them all
I hope you get your problem sorted, LaneyEFC. I'd definitely recommend getting the APN settings from your network provider, my problems went once I got that step right!
