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.

search for HSPL using this site's search feature, run it on your phone, then find the TMOUS radio thread in the T-Mobile US HD2 Leo subforum and change the radio yourself. Don't waste your $ having someone else do it
Read everything twice before you do anything to your phone, else you end up with an exspensive brick
Also turn your phone off (all the way off) then back on
Write down all the info that appears in red down at the bottom of the screen before Windows loads, and put all that info in your signature on this site.
You can change your sig in the User Control Panel, which can be accessed via a button at the top of this page (User CP)
This will help the more experienced members of this site to more easily and accurately help you with any problems/questions that you may have.

I was in the same situation as you are now. Set up Wp7 with 2gb sdcard, activated windows live, realized that 2gb are too low, installed again with 16gb card one day later. Activationcode didnt work then :O
But it worked after I unlocked my hd2 with chevron and this HOWTO: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=912218
So go for it and unlock it first that it will be reconized as HD7 and try again.
P.S.: I saw a thread somewhere in the wp7-hd2 section where a guy posted some activation codes.
i really appericiate your apply but the problem is i have unlocked and then even tried to do the activation but couldnt be successfull . Hey please try to remmber where you saw that post and give me the link it would be a blessing
If you already have your activation code then you don't need another.
Just re-flash WP7, re-unlock (also reg hack as HD7) then add live account and use same code.
If it doesnt work you are not entering code correctly.
If not re-phone support and get code again and explain your previous isn't working or get a new code for new live account.

Where did you store the code number? Or did they not email it to you? Call back the MS support that issued your code number, as when you gave them your details. Thats what they use to give you your own code number back.
You can only use your code 3 times. Then its back to them with your detials, to get a new number.
Russ
If you feel you need a new code then get one, it's very easy.
Go to Microsoft helpdesk website (Google it). Click get support, click general help (I clicked the windows 7) then chat, then simply state that you are setting up your windows phone 7 and it's asking for an activation code, they wanted a name and who made my phone (HTC) then gave me the code. Even said if there was a problem to chat back for another one hope this helps
Sent from my hd2 wp7
(anyone one else think the keyboard blows? Damn I miss swype)
guess what i called up the microsoft guys and got the code it was a piece of cake all you need to have is some skills of conversation , now im going to login with new activation code thanks everyone though your views and your replies helped me alot
by the way do you guys think that a new update of wp7 for htc hd2 will come or not ? i really love this OS , hope the developers have the same emotions too
First of all, I'm new to this forum (Hi!) and I know this is probably posted in the wrong section, but I don't have enough posts to post it in the appropriate one and I don't want to go spam random comments.
Anyhow, I have an HTC Touch (Either a Vogue or an HTC Elf, I can't see the difference). I've been trying to get Android on my phone using this tutorial (+ the file in the description "Android Eclair for HTC Vogue")
www youtube com/watch?v=XftzWJW_TyM&feature=player_embedded
All goes well until I try running HaRET, it says "Jumping to Kernel" after running it, gives me a grey/black screen, then a white screen and then it sort of freezes.
Now I know I need to use the right default.txt, but for some reason I can't find the right one anywhere and I think that's my problem.
Thanks in advance!
This is the way I got Myn's Warm Donut working on my OKTA Touch (HTC Vogue).
Just follow the instructions here and you will be fine. Also don't skip any of them out either as you will just brick your phone
It's by far the easiest way to do it

There's a critical difference between the CDMA Touch (Vogue) and GSM Touch (Elf) - their chipsets. Vogue is MSM, Elf is OMAP. there is no Android port for the Elf.
Thanks for the answers, but here's a small update, I'm 99 percent sure I have an Elf now, since I just tried what this post (/thread) said:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4430936&postcount=551
It works, but I can't make calls, can't take pictures, ...
Any ideas what I could do or where I could download non-outdated files?
Thanks!

Hello friends good morning,
I am giving away my wp7 activation key as i sold my hd2 , i don't require it anymore because my next htc will be Android. I used it twice on my hd2 with two different roms for the same id. So, if anyone require, ask me.
EDIT: First come first serve
have a nice day
you cant give your activation key unless you also give your SIMcard... LiveID code is generated by your phone number
but i had read somewhere that the same activation key can be used in three different handsets..... can someone clarify the statement???
guys plz dont sent PM, how can other members come to know that someone already asked for the key.
As stated above by "dxdy" key is not gona work, if its so then throw it out as simple it is
so post a message here for the key, and try it out.

well, you're not right xDDD
i have found a live chat somewhere in microsoft website. and i asked for an activation key in that chat... i gave them my fake name and fake phone number (it was real but it's for another SIM card).. and it WORKED!!!
well, that ROM was disgusting, it crashed after few days xDD but the point is, you can use the key with any SIM card
first off, it's way to damn easy to get an activation code, just call the support tell them u got "X" windows phone and it asks for a activation code, then they will ask for your email and name, then they send it on your email , i told them i got a HTC Radar, and when i got the code i thought to my self well that was just to damn easy
i even heard of some guy who told the truth to the support: that he got an HD2 etc. well just get your own keys it's so easy
Please i need too
what happened if I use the same code for my device?
Could you send it to me and try pls?
