Hi,
I have the new TSM500 from telefonica and I wonder if there is a ROM update for it. I mean with the Movistar parameters and everything. Doesn´t mind if the update is in English, of course.
Anyone know what kind is?. i-mate or XDA2?
Regards,
Txema
Not only it's not available yet, but knowing how "chollofónica" works, it never probably will.
In the meantime the current version shipped by telefónica is already lower (serial number) than the ones currently found in english around this site.
Would you dare to compare? You can backup to an SD card your spanish SO and made a trial with one of the english versions around the site.
:wink:
As far as I know, there were no upgrades for the TSM 400 either, so TSM 500 will probably have the same fate. You can not even get a TSM 500 replacement battery from any Movistar shop!
:evil:

Hello from Spain. The XDA is called in Spain TSM 400. I can´t find the serial syncronisation cable for it. Does anybody know if the O2 accesories will work?
You can take a look at it here.
http://www.paymamoviles.es/hoja_tsm400.htm
The manufacturer doesn´t have information in the Internet, and Movistar (the biggest spanish network) neither does.
I will buy it if it works.
Having looked at the advertisement I would say it is identical in looks and specification to an XDA. Buy the XDA compatible and try it out. It also says something about serial cable in the ad so the manufacturer should also be able to supply one, that is if you can get in touch with them.
manufacturer didn´t manufacture accessories in spain
Movistar didn´t supplie any kind of accessories yet. I will try to buy english model through the internet. I hope the can send it to me.
Thank you
Hello!
I am very new to HTC and Windows Mobile and am thinking of replacing my slowly dying Tungsten T3 with the Vodafone 1605 !
I am also aware that I could buy the unbranded TyTn!
What I need the most is to be able to send and receive my emails in Japanese. I know both Docomo and SoftBank will release or have released the TyTn.
My question is - Can I re-flash or change the rom to this one ?
Docomo_HTCz_ExtROM_JP.zip
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Hermes/Extended_ROMs/
I know from reading other forums that I should be able to read and inout Japanese but the process to do that does seem complicated..
http://forum.brighthand.com/showthread.php?t=217045
I found other pages too...
My thinking is that the DocomoHTCz_ExtROM_JP.zip file may give me the language settings that I need...
I am very new to this! The Tungsten T3 was easy!
Any advice is much appreciated. I have one month to go before I can upgrade, or I can proceed and buy an unbranded TyTn !

Do you know this?

If you can try please tell me how it works!

Hello sesaru,
sorry, I do not know that software and have nothing that I can try it on.
Looks interesting though...
Anyone else help?
By the way, have you been able to buy a HTC Hermes/SoftBank X01HT ?
I am interested in that or the Docomo version! But maybe it will not work in the UK...

Ext ROM means extended ROM - it contains all the bundled software so thats probably not what you want to be doing. The latest dopod WWE (world wide English) rom works on the voda 1605 I flashed mine with it, I only chose dopod because its the latest, I'll probably switch to i-mate once their upgrade comes out. Dopod has the game Another World on the ex rom which was a pretty cool flashback to my Amiga childhood.
I only see a Chinese dopod ROM on the wiki, no Japanese.
indiekiduk!
thanks very much! I understand clearly now.
I guess I need to do the procedures outlined here -
http://forum.brighthand.com/showthread.php?t=217045
but a bit scary for a beginner.
Or wait for the Japanese ROM to appear,

I just got the SoftBank (ex. Vodafone) X01HT 3 days ago. Basically the unit is great, works quite well here in Japan although there are certain restrictions:
The wireless modem is disabled - that means I cannot use the X01HT as a Bluetooth modem for my laptop (very annoying)
I don't know if the unit is SIM locked or not (I just have Japanese Vodafone SIMs to test) I know though that my Japanese SIM in my mobile worked in the UK.
I plan to flash mine with a English language ROM, my command of Japanese is not really too good (native German speaker...)

That's interesting. I tried my UK Vodafone SIM in a few Vodafone Japanese phones last month and they did not work !

OK, My Sharp 902 Ferrari works well in Japan except for data. But data is extortionate anyway.....
There is a great plan in England for roaming! Calls within Japan and back to the UK cost only 75 pence a time, but for up to 59 minutes, using my free minutes!
I heard that sim free phones might become available in Japan. Have you heard os such a thing ?
Ofiaich
Have not heard yet - but I'll look around...
After having been able to get in touch with QTek France, they pointed me towards HTM.
HTM told me that to get this update (if it's the last one), THEY had to do it, that they will NOT provide the update on an internet site and that it will cost us poor froggies 59€ !!!!
Can someone confirm this ?
Hello,
Why don't you use the last Swiss Rom Orange? I upgrade 3 days ago and it's perfect for Orange France users, because it's french and Orange
And last but not least, That's totally free!!!!
Regards,
Well, i must change my signature by the way now....
Well I could, thou it's not an SPV M3100 that I have, but the plain french version of the HTC TyTN.
So if any warranty issues appear, I won't be eligible
Hi,
Anyone got one yet in The Netherlands? Here it´s been delayed and delayed and delayed... Finally yesterday was supposed to be available. I've seen they have stock at pdashop.nl but calling to belcompany (they have a better offer) yesterday they said it will take them one more week! Any lucky person in the Netherlands got one?
In case so, I would like to know what languages does it come with by default? I've seen a video on pocketinfo.nl and they show italian, spanish, and dutch. Can anybody confirm?
Thanks!
Stil
First off, no I don't have one. Still waiting for it (hi.nl).
I also expected more to come this week with the articles on Tweakers.net and the official tweets from 'HTC_NL' saying it is now available in The Netherlands... but still nothing.
In the comments from the Tweakers.net article there were quite some people reporting that they received their Hero, so there are a couple out there. Don't forget, HTC said it is now available, and preorders (and price winners) should expect them this week. Then it's only normal that the phones arrive at the retailers _this week_, which means we will get it next week (hopefully).
About the language: I've seen multiple UK review sites that had a Hero in the Dutch language . So yes I'm pretty sure the interface and sms-texting can be set to Dutch. I hope there is just one version of the device and you can set the language in the settings. I hate dutch on my phones / computers.
Just got a call from belcompany informing me that they have it in the shop waiting for me to pick it up. This evening I will (hopefully) have it and tomorrow let you know more about the dutch version.
drat, Hi... hurry up. Me wants it
I bought a Hero yesterday at pdashop.nl. When I bought it in the shop, they had 30 or so in storage (white & brown) . (came in Tuesday afternoon). So...anyone who pre-ordered it will get one soon, I guess...
hi.nl pushed their date back _AGAIN_ with one day.
Expected delivery is now 31st
I have one.
Languages i can select are:
English (Dutch)
English (Lux)
Dutch (dutch)
Dutch (lux)
French (dutch)
French (lux)
German (dutch)
German (lux)
I also have got one,
Last tuesday to be exactly,
It's a brilliant phone lots of apps quite a good sound
the battery life is about a day and a half
greetz
And another happy [NL]Hero user
The only problem with this phone is probably the FUP of my data plan... (Vodafone internet Blox)
I'm thinking of buying the sim free S3 in either amazon.fr or amazon.de because it's cheaper than in my country and that way I wont have to buy a charger like I would if ordering from UK (Portugal doesn't have an official price yet but if the unlocked HOX costs about 699 € S3 will be at least that much).
It will be my first samsung and from what i've been reading there's a lot of firmware versions (In my htc desire I just had to search for a "world wide english" version) will I have to stick with the firmware from france or germany when updating or can I just flash any firmware from "Portugal" or "Open Europe" later? Will the original firmware have any problems working in other countrys?
Thanks
I always try buying from Amazon.de if it is possible, and i have also bought many times from UK Amazon as well, so I would recommend German one, the delivery is quicker, the prices are better.

good call mate your spot on it is cheaper on the German Amazon and Google translate does the job when ordering so no language barrier, how long for delivery though to the rest of Europe and i assume no excess is paid like if you order a product from USA,etc?
I've ordered mine from the German Amazon. Had it pre ordered from Expansys, but they are selling the S3 at a much higher price, so I ended up canceling the order.
Cheers
Yeah ill definily be ordering from the German Amazon website, the UK one is much higher and don't get me started on the likes on Play.com and expansys they are about €90 dearer than Amazon.de
---------- Post added at 10:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 PM ----------
Wont make any difference at all but emailed expansys
I notice on your website you are charging €664.99 for the Samsung Galaxy S3 but on the German Amazon website it is available for €588.80 plus €7 postage with a delivery time of between 2 to 9 days but having uses Amazon.de before they usually deliver within 5 days or less so im wondering what incentive it would give me to spend an extra €70 odd quid with Expansys?

Hello guys !
Anyone have a good feedback from the amazon.de ?? never bought there anything from them before and im also interested in buying from them also !!
Some feedback would be nice, especially from portuguese people !!
Regards
Limaspt
What can i say, they are Amazon, so they follow the same standards. Good service, good customer support
Can anyone help with the original post questions?
Hello,
If i understand your question you want to know if the software will work in our language, if this is the case you can be rested, since the moment you turn on your phone for the first time you can put the base language in portuguese, english, french and some others.
The only thing that wont work in portuguese its the Svoice, there are no suport in our beloved language.
Hope it helps !!
Regards
Limas
Also, just be aware that, if you order from Amazon.de or .fr, their website price will be at their VAT, eg 19% for Germany, but you will be charged at the VAT rate for the delivery country, 23% I believe in Portugal. So the price from German Amazon would be about 608,59€ plus postage for delivery to Portugal. It only shows up after you have inserted your delivery address. That may still be good value for you but you should be aware of it.
EDIT: Though having just looked at the price on French Amazon, I am sure you won't want to buy from there. 649€!
Thanks for the answers. I should be able to change the firmware to a diferent official one or do i have to stick with the stock one (from germany for example)?

Let's say that after the phone is out for sale you will be able to change almost anything in the soft/firmware, the guys here in the XDA are magicians, they can do almost everything... so no need for worrys.
There is only one "but", its our country itself, the things here usualy go on a slow pace, im almost 100% sure that we will need about 2 or 3 months to have a official portuguese rom, but, trust me, if you are in the android wave the las thing you will want its a official portuguese rom.... im talking for the experience i have with android devices.
The SIII will be the third android device i will have, and i really hope that i dont have to stuck with our roms, they are heavy and full of "crap".
When i buy a phone i like to costumise it at my own taste, and not be obliged to have software that i dont want it.... that its what our phone companys do, they make you use what you dont want.....
Best regards

Joining this discussion a little late, after having ordered my SIII from amazon.de and having it delivered to Italy, I can say that the portuguese (TPH) ROM is preferable to the original German ROM. The bloatware included in the German version is absent in the Portuguese one. Unfortunately, SVoice still doesn't support Portuguese.
Another complete mess is samsung apps, I created my account with a Belgium SIM and now it won't let me install anything unless I have that or another Belgium SIM; if I have an Italian or Portuguese SIM in the phone it will ***** and moan that my samsung account is for Belgium only.
