Hi all I have had 4 TG01s since November, everyone has had problems with call quality, but also activesync/mobile device centre connectivity , spurious resets ,poor battery life ..................
I was told yesterday that TG01 is no longer available due to software problems.
Can anyone confirm this?
Advice.
If you do call orange to change your phone make sure that the call is logged in the same way, I.E Call quality . this way after 3 changes you may be offered a different phone. (my last call was logged as "known software fault" even though the fault was call quality grrrrrr!)
Toshiba have updated the radio stack, update your TG01 and it'll be fine.
And yes, Orange have pulled the TG01,
They do still have some new boxed stock though. The 'different model replacement's they offered me were a HTC Hero, HTC Touch 3G Jade, and some LG or other. I said it should be a SE X10 but they said no....
Stamp your feet and you'll get a brand new TG01 not someone else's returned unit.

OK so I'm getting bored of my X10i as there is pretty much nothing you can do with it and I'm probaby going to go back to a winmo based phone.
I've had many x1s and loved that phone however I want something new, I've also have the Touch Pro2 and while it was brilliant I found the camera rubbish and it was just too 'thick'.
I've decided to go for the HD2 (I think after the x10 I wont notice a massive size increase, except screen obviously) however I'm stuck between getting a 2nd hand one which was on T-Mobile or Orange (UK for both).
The 'physical' branding on the T-mobile handsets seam less obtrusive so I think I'll go for that. My question is does anyone see a problem in getting an (UK) T-mobile branded HD2, debranding it and flashing costume ROMS & chaning the radio? I'll be using it on Vodafone (UK).
Thanks for the help, hope to be visiting this part of the forums more over the next few months.
you should have no problems at all with either, the phones are identical. might have to pay fifteen quid to get it unlockedbut that's it.
sam is the expert so no worries on that score. But i would advise caution on buying a second hand hd2. Just make sure the phone has no issues due to heat problems.
I know quite alot of hd2's switch off when they overheat and this results in normally needing a new motherboard etc. so make sure you test the phone before you buy it.
Good luck and i am sure you will luv your new phone.
Brilliant guys, thanks for the advise. Unfortunately I can't text the phone as I'm buying from CEX (I have vouchers to use plus I'm getting aboutn £200 in vouchers for my x10).
If the worst happens I have 12 months warranty or I'll just send it to HTC to get fixed... hopefully...

Ahhh i see. in that case mate i am sure it will be fine. It really is a great phone. Perhaps you should check out an energy rom?
Enjoy the phone!
I actually used the Engery ROMS on my X1 so I think it will be good to get back to it!
Thanks again guys!
I got mine from cex and it was on o2. Get a grade a stock as this is like new. Mine had the seal on everything even the phone hadn't been used on the network.then I went to the link on the o2 websiye and they give you the unlock code for free.

Has anyone yet received a phone from either an Orange shop or via their website/head office?
And if so how was the "bloatware" situation, what is your rom details and was there any orange branding on the device itself?
its available to buy through a new contract, but is still comming soon as an upgrade feature :/
i hope to get mine through at the end of the week, unfortunatly, just been the victim of card fraud, so have to wait for the bank....i will keep peeps posted
I actually get mine tomorrow so can look then, I was just interested to see if others had one already
I do know (from what the executive office told me today) that they have had 2 deliveries now but both have been very very small, first batch sold out in minutes and second batch was expected to do the same, thankfully I had one saved for me as a priority customer.

I get mine tomorrow, will let you know.
Just curious, wouldn't you root it and get a cleaner rom anyway?
I DO know that the phone does not come with NFC chip
Orange had no clue, so I called Samsung and eventually got the answer that only the USA version has the chip (which we know is not true, but suffice to say,the Orange one does not)

Yes I will, but just wondered anyway.
Some people are currently investigating if the phones do in-fact have NFC included just software disabled. Early signs indicate that they may include the chip.

Yeah, I was thinking it would... partly to explain why Orange took a month longer than Vodafone to supply the phone. Also Orange have some initiative with some bank and another phone of theirs that has NFC, so thought SGS2 should have it too...
Mark.
I upgraded through Carphone warehouse a couple of weeks ago. Mainly because, at the time, Orange couldn't confirm when they would have it. I got a sim unlocked non-Orange branded SGS II! But it's not difficult to debrand and unlock the phone anyway...
I picked up one from the Orange shop in Kilburn London last Saturday. Didn't expect them to have one but asked the manager of the shop anyway who said that there was a delivery just made and he'll go check.
I was delighted when he said there was ONE delivered, yes just one? What's the point in that?
Anyhoo I'm a happy chappy ,there was a lot of Orange bloatware on it and sorry I can't remember the firmware as I flashed Lite'ning rom on it as soon as possible to get rid of all the Orange crap.
Admittedly I took out a second contract to get this phone but I did get it from the carphone warehouse on orange and my handset is unbranded and unlocked. I will never go to an orange shop to upgrade ever again, no orange branding is great!
Well Orange somehow screwed up my order (something about system thinking they had more handsets than they actually did) so my order was processed but there was no handset to send out..so I have to wait for them to restock.
Hey Lenny, picked mine up from my local Orange store in W-S-M this week
I ordered one last Sunday, just been told stock arriving Friday.
Could somebody with an orange SGS2 have a look and see what free ram there is at stadby please? Just wondered if the orange bloatware affected the amount of free ram available.
Thanks
Ian
Just got of the phone with orange, 5000 phones turned up today, once everyone is checked the will be in stock after the back orders are filled.
Looking at the 22 for them to be sent out !
I just bought a HTC Radar 4g from someone and its brand new with receipt and everything but some reason it doesn't have any service. When i start it up it says t-mobile for 2 seconds then switches to emergency calls only. I have tried my mom and dads sim but it doesn't seem to work either. Can anyone help me with my problem. I have t-mobile and my sim works on my e71x but not Radar.
Is it inserted the correct way?

yeah i made sure it was I saw the t-mobile for like 2 seconds pop up once but that was about it then it went to emergency calls only again. I tried to look for solution but few people have had this problem and im not sure what the problem is.
Try cleaning the sim card with a q-tip. Otherwise it sounds like you got a bad phone or the phone was deactivated by T-Mobile (ie it was stollen)

If the phone was deactivated is there any way I can reactivate it? Ill try the q-tip thing.
You can call up t-mobile and tell them what happend.
cpu BAD or phone library bad? the same to my blacyberry 9000
I also had similar problem (though in my case the phone was an unlocked phone). It would not recognize any Sim (would give Invalid Sim or Sim error), this was for a brand new phone right out of the box. Took it to HTC Service Center. They said motherboard was faulty and needs to be replaced! Finally they relented to replace the unit (HTC Service in India is pathetic.) But the replacement unit they gave is not new one!!! Felt cheated. Have decided not to buy HTC here in India again!! This when I am a loyal HTC customer for years now (am using HTC Sensation as my primary phone and ex-phone was HTC Touch Diamond).
At least the phone itself (ie. Radar) is quite good. Looks good, feels great in the hand (better than Sensation) and battery life is outstanding (I am charging it only every 4th day!) OS also is quite good for what it offers (though there are some frustrating things like Zune dependency etc). Its quite stable also compared to the Sensation (no force closes so far (3+ weeks) while Android just crashes the phone at least every other day (or even multiple times in a single day).
virtually every person who speaks to me says they can't hear me clearly. I have a muffled voice. Am really fed up and don't know whether to return phone or not. I love the phone but this problem is very very frustrating. I tried the finger/tape over the secondary mic trick but does not seem to help. Am using the titan 1 on O2 network with latest os update. Help please :-(
Had the exact same problem. Had the titan exchanged for a new one (Build date one the original was early november 2011, late december on the replacement). Same problem with the replacement unit, so they (Microsoft Store) replaced it with the titan 2, and no voice problems at all.
Alas I don't think I can get it replaced for a Titan 2 as I am in the UK and Titan 2 is for US market only.
My Titan had the recption issue (random disconnect, weak signal) and the same poor sound quality for the person on the other end.
I accidentally dropped it and shattered the screen. Purchased a Titan II on eBay and it works absolutely flawlessly!
Sounds like you got one of the dodgy ones, There were early batches with this problem, Never had this issue myself on O2 UK, I have had 2 titans as one already went back as the screen died and got a replacement with diff IMEI number, Looks like you gotta send it back to shop or use the HTC repair Centre Huntington, Got mine back in 4 days and no trouble since, The shop should replace the handset, Best of luck and hope you are eventually happy with your new one.

Not a common problem, but why didn't you just exchange it where you bought it from if it was brand new?
A more common problem is dust in the FFC and proximity sensor, though.

Because I bought if of someone they had it on contract and I think they bought it from someone prior to me so I am third owner it would be a nightwear trying to sort it out that way so this was the only way the phone is brand new.I hope I get it back soon it's a lovely phone in yellow.
Well I contacted them today via chat and the agent said my handset has been swapped for a new one and should be back this week it was unrepairable beyond economical repair.The phone itself was only 5days old what could of happened to it?I was going to claim the free wireless charger but if the details have changed can I still get it?
The free charger is only available or I should say was only available to AT&T customers only. That deal is now over. Also unless you bought it straight from AT&T then good luck on getting as it was not Nokia that was doing the special.
That's strange because I am in uk and on my box it clearly says offer is still valid for uk customers I have a unique code on my box.
