[Q] Requesting help with HTC HD2 WinMo7 on TMO network - HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an

I have looked but I haven't found what I'm looking for. I was able to successfully install WinMo7 on my HD2, but I didn't have the data capabilities outside of a WIFI hotspot. Is there APN info that I have to input into the phone? Do I have to change my data package? I liked WinMo7, but I had to downgrade back to 6.5 just to get my data package working. Can anyone either help or point me in the right direction?

Firstly, its not Windows Mobile, Its Windows Phone.
Second, You didnt downgrade to 6.5, You just installed a different OS. Windows Mobile and Windows Phone 7 are 2 completley different OS's from ground up.
Third, Sorry cant help. It just works out of box for me. Your carrier should automatically give the phone its APN settings.

I had that problem initially as well. Then I found the HTC Connection Setup tool in the apps list (it was already preinstalled/cooked-in). Just run that tool and it will make the changes needed for data to work.

Oh cool!!! Where did you go to get your ROM? Can you get me the link? I would really appreciate it.

no data for me too on t-mobile network
I am also having the same problem, that is I have installed at least 4 different WP7 roms and with all of them I get no data or mms messages to work. I have used the HTC connection on all of the roms and still no success. I have ICS on the sd card and I get data and mms messages with ICS, so it has to be something in the roms or radios (software or hardware) or something else that I am missing. If someone knows the answer please help us. I have been working on this for about 2 weeks now. Thanks in adance.
I am using the HTC HD2 Leo, euro, not HTC Tmous.

any of the wp7 roms work out of the box. apparently you found a rom to flash to begin with. htc connection setup is on the htc marketplace.
i suggest reading up on windows phone so you know what you're asking and doing.

Windows Mobile 6.5 - Install to Touch Without Cell Service?

I have a Sprint HTC Touch and am thinking about installing the latest Winmo Pro 6.5.
The phone is new with nothing on it and isn't set up on the network yet.
Can I install the new operating system even though the phone doesn't work as a phone yet? I want to see how it works before I have Sprint set it up on the network.
Yes, as long as it's unlocked/HardSPLed
Well..... I can understand the word unlocked, but I have no idea what HardSPLed means.
Perhaps you can enlighten me?

WinMo 6.5 T-Mo Upgrade & Wifi sharing

I had the Wifi sharing cab with my old 6.1 windows mobile on my touch pro 2 which worked great. I got the upgrade to 6.5 through T-Mobile USA and when I installed the wifi internet sharing cab that I got from here, I cannot find it anywhere on the phone to use it. Any ideas?

Go to settings>all settings>connections that's where I found mine. I also upgraded to 6.5 from T-Mobile.

Why would you need to install anything? T-Mobile puts it on the phone for you.

The OP is refering to WiFi internet sharing, not blue tooth or USB.
So it's not in the 6.5 version? I swear on 6.1, I had wifi sharing built in. HTC menus and all, no need to install a cab.
Wow, I don't see it. What the hell am I remembering then!?!?! I remember HTC menus and setting up my wifi network to share, password and all. All without WMwifirouter.
You mean this one?
I think this is what you're looking for....
oh wow, I just checked my screenshots of my cab list from previous and there it is. Wow, for months now, I've been telling people that the T-Mobile version comes with tethering right out of the box!

It does come with tethering out of the box, but not the wifi router/access point functionality.

True. Well it's good to know that I have a backup to WMWifirouter, if that ever "fails" again...
How did you get 6.5 from t-mobile.I just got my tp2 and it came with 6.1, and should I upgrade now or wait. i like to wait to make sure people are not having problems with new updates before i bite

Are there any pros/cons to upgrading from 6.1 to 6.5?
PROS: New lock screen, new start menu, visual voicemail, search phone function, some minor improvements throughout, apparently a better radio for more exact service signal, better/faster GPS/cellular triangulation, weather on home page, weather based on GPS location
CONS: Greater risk for errors with installed programs (see services.exe thread), new start menu, you have to hard reset to upgrade, slightly more RAM usage
Thanks for the info and links. I already upgraded and I like it, now Ican play with it some more

Where are you looking to place it? If you need a drop down menu instead of that honeycomb one, try QuickMenu. I love it!

all settings should be under the settings tab. If your not using sense I forget what the other stock UI is called. then just go to settings. and it should take you to everything and you should see connections on there. if you want I can post screen shots to help you out just let me know if you still have trouble finding it. Took me a while to find it too.

HTC HD2 T-Mobile -- ROM Question

Hi
I'd like to know if it is possible to load the original HD2 (EU) ROM on the TMo version?
I also like to know from someone with a TMo HD2, the factory ROM that is on the phone, is it preinstalled with TMo settings and what not, what I'm getting to, does the built in browser only use TMo settings like Att's ROMs use their settings only.
I'm buying this phone, and wanting to use a different carrier.
Thanks!

If you load the Original EU ROM, YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE.
You just have to set up the settings manually, it isn't set to one specific connection.

Hi
Thanks for your reply,
One more thing, it doesn't seem from a Google search this phone has a Wifi router?
Is this true, and is there a cab to enable the wifi router app?

The T-Mobile one doesn't come with one, but yeah, there's a cab available that will let you use it.

If you can't see the router, just stop it and change the space to an underscore.

no need to manually set it up, you can install the connectionsetup.cab from the regular hd2 which will set everything up for you.

How to set up 3g??

I've tried 3 different builds and I can't seem to get the 3g working at all. I'm using a t-mobile 1024 mb version if it matters. Everything seems to be running perfectly except the data. When I search for networks T-Mobile comes up and I select it but no data connection. I can make calls etc. Do I have to set this up manually? If so how?
PS: I've used the search button like a million times.
Edit: I am using Coredroid and the windows mobile version from the same creator.

Make sure you are using the correct APN for your service provider.

[Q] Two different APNs on WP7

Has anyone figured out how to get two different APNs working on WP7?
My service provider uses one APN for data and another one for MMS. I can get the data working fine but MMS is a different story.
Anyone do that?
