Hi,
One of my friend returned from UK and gifted me a T mobile HTC HD2.He says that it was in contract and has brought the phone here.
I am able to use the phone for calls with airtel service provider but not able to edit the settings for internet as it shows only one option i.e t mobile. I am not able to delete it nor i can add the new settings.
Because of this issues there is no internet and my phone looks dull
Is it possible to change this ?

No. there is no way you can edit it. You have to flash a custom rom to use internet services in your t-mobile hd2.
You can flash any Rom from the forum. i am using ENERGY 21916 rom which is very stable and fast with 2.15 radio.
it is best radio for delhi.
and yea next time post your question in general forum.
yes you should be able to set up data no problem.
the easyway would be to run connectionsetup, which should set it all up for you, BUT don't forget to remove the t mobile connection, otherwise it will stay as the default one and not work.
(or see below, "select networks" to stop it being default)
alternatively, to do it manually go settings menu all settings connections connections
then either "manage existing" and then edit the t mo one to your new settings, or "add new modem" to create one.
when its done, go back to the connections connections screen, go to advanced tab, select networks, and change the dropdowns accordingly.

Hi there, I am wondering if it is possible for the XDA to work in Australia. I have the upgraded rom from Xda devellopers and have removed the sim lock, but it dosen't seem to pick up the Aus networks.
Any help would be great
What for device are you using? PW10A or PW10B?
Maybe it's a problem with the GSM-networks. PW10A is for 900/1800MHz and PW10B for 900/1900
Have you tried to search manual for any available services?
Stefan
How do I find out the PW10a or b info.... The other version info is as follows
ROM Version; 3.17.03 ENG
Radio Version; 4.21.00
Protocol Version ; 32s54
Sorry, found it....PW10A1
I am guessing no one has any help or info about this. what a wasted purchase.
The XDA/XDA II/XDA III (IIs) do work in Australia.
Where is your XDA from, country? What network are you trying to connect too down here?
I have been told it is from the UK. I purchased it 3rd hand so I can only go by what the previous owner has told me.
In the auto config screen, I get the options for 02 network from UK, Ireland, De and a few others.
I am wanting to connect it to an Optus network preferrably, but any would do.
I have tried Optus (plan and prepaid) and telstra plan, but no signal shows up.
Just clarifying, you have tried Optus and Telstra phone services or data services?
You verified the SIM's worked in another phone?
The sims are able to be swapped into various phones, I have a panasonic gd50, a nokia 7250 and a motorola v600, and an ericson (can't remember what model) and they all work in each other.
The sims are set up as phone service, ie: normal mobile usage, I have even tried an optus prepaid in it.
I am only wanting to use it for the phone service, gprs and net usage is not of interest as yet.
Howdy, I have the same model and it works fine on Telstra. I originally had problems with SIM lock and GID lock, but after upgrading to 2003 from lumpistefans kitchen I've had no problems with it! Good reception and minimal drop out. It's not a waste of money. The ROM i used was the O2 one and did not use the auto config, it finds it for itself and aknowledges the telstra network fine. If you go to an Optus shop they should be able to help, they also have pretty good phone help and should be able to talk you through the settings,
Good luck!
Peace,
Robert
Thanks Ryap. I am thinking that it should automatically find the network tho......is this not the case
I know on XDA II and PDA2K you can select the network or set it to Automatic. Might want to check this setting.
SETTINGS > PERSONAL TAB > PHONE > NETWORK TAB

I think you are confusing the autoconfig of the device with the network setup for the phone.
You can cancel the autoconfig that appears at the end of a hard reset. This just gives you some quick settings for the GPRS and MMS networks - you can add these later after talking to Optus.
Once the SIM is in, you need to make sure the phone is on by switching OFF flight mode. This kicks the phone in. Then if Optus is not picked up as your default network you just go into Settings>Phone>Network and then use the Find Network button and then the Set Networks button. After that you can check the Automatic Network selection button to make the settings stay.

Hi all, thanks for the support so far,
As of now, I can't get any network at all....still.
when i insert the sim and enable the phone it says serching, but thats about it.
I have no idea where to find the flight mode, and when I click on the phone in the settings screen, nothing happens.
I don't get any carrier name or logo come up and appear.
Cheers
Michael
On XDA II (don't have XDA) when the phone senses a service it puts four vetical bars next to the speaker/volume icon at the top of the screen. If you tap the bars it should bring up a pop-up, this is where there should be a line (link) to click on that says "Turn off flight mode". I am not sure if this is part of the original XDA though.
When you clicked on the PHONE icon under SETTINGS it didn't do anything?
At the top bar, next to the speeker, I have a tree type logo and when i tap it it says searching. When i open the phone and then click options, it freezes for about 5 maybe 7 mins and then the settings screen opens, from there it freezes and i can't select anything
Hi all.
I am greatful for you help and support up till now.
I have managed to fixmy problem.
When putting the xda devellopers rom on the pda, ther eis an option calledGSM Band in the programs list.
Well turns out it was set to 900, so i changed it to 900/1800 and rebooted the xda.
WELL HEY PRESTO, IT FOUND THE OPTUS NETWORK
So all is good and all works.
As I mentioned before I am greatful for all the support and thankyou to all who racked their brains over this.
Hi All,
Not a flaming thread at all this but I hope an informative one. I love the Energy ROM and the fact that I mention it here is not to say it is a bad ROM.
I have been battling with MMS settings on my HD2 for a long time. I have never managed to get it to work at all, whatever settings I tried.
The issue it seems was the ROM I was using, the Energy ROM is one in particular. Possibly more but I have had the problem for so long I can't remember what other ROMs gave me problems.
What I can say is that in desperation, ran out of ideas, I tried changing ROMs with the sole intention of testing MMS settings and there it was, I changed to the Artemis ROM and all was well, MMS settings worked.
I am going to do further tests to be 100% sure but one thing I have noticed was that with the Energy ROM I couldn't select 'celular Line (GPRS), it was always greyed out to 'Celular Line'. I think this might have been the problem but as I say some confirmation of that required.
Here are the O2 settings:
http://mobileguide.o2.co.uk/devices/device.jsp?deviceId=614&tab=8&step=2&settingId=2897
I hope this helps someone.

those data settings are for the mobile data connection, , , mms wont send over that data network. O2 require a wap data modem set up too, purely for mms to send over.
when connectionsetup runs at first boot with an o2 sim, it sets up two data accounts, 'mobile web' and 'o2 active'.
mobile web is for, well, mobile web, and runs at full data speed, and the o2 active account is what the mms server settings are pointed at, and connects to o2's wap server.
have a peek HERE for o2 active settings.
The thing that confused me for ages is that when you go to settings connections connections manage existing connections,, it only shows you the 'mobile web' account, until you go to 'advanced - select networks' and change the top dropdown to 'o2 active', when you can then view/edit that account.
dont forget to change that top dropdown back to mobile web, cos if you leave it set to o2 active (like i did today) it uses the wap server for all your data, which isn't as fast as the mobile web server.

I got confused for a while and spent ages trying to work it out. If you go Settings>Connections>Connections, under here you should find two titled sections, Proxy Internet and My Work Network.
What I have is under:
- Proxy Internet>Manage existing connections: contains the mobile web settings
-My Work Network>Manage existing connections: contains the o2 active settings using wap server.
One other thing to check is go to the Sense Message tab and go: All Messages>Menu>Setting>Options>Menu>MMS Server select the o2 MMS (might be named differently depending on ROM). You'll find a list of server details, don't need to touch these, the only thing to check is "Connect via" option and make sure it points to My Work Network. This will pick up the correct wap settings.
Just thought I'd offer my findings.

Just in case someone follows this link and gets confused, the settings in it are for contract, not pre-pay.
Pre-pay:
APN - payandgo.o2.co.uk
Username - payandgo
Password - password
Proxy Tab - 'This network connects to the internet' should be ticked. That's all. No further details are necessary.
What NRG rom are you using? To avoid having to enter anything manually, after flashing one of NRG's rom, when the phone automatically configure network with O2 SIM at first boot, simply select prepay or contract (postpay?) as appropriate. Soft reset. After phone reboots, hit Start, go into Settings, Connections, Connections, then on the Task tab tap ' Automatically configure connection'. Allow it to do its thing, then soft reset. I haven't had to manually enter data or MMS settings for my O2 prepay sim in an NRG rom for a long time : )
hi to every one.
i have a question is there any on out there who is using energy rom build 29 on hd2 because i am using it and problem is that when ever i wants to send or recive emails from hd2 despite of wifi connection it starts to connect to data connection and ignores wifi .is there any ssolution that emails will be loaded just using wifi if data conn is not available and data conn if wifi is not available thanks
settings - menu - all settings - connections - connections - advanced tab - select networks
The connection chosen in the top dropdown is what programs that can auto connect to the net use, for example email, and is usually by default set to 'my isp' or (example) 'O2 mobile web' or something similar, , whatever your phone has called the data connection.
The bottom dropdown is what other items such as browser use, and is usually set to 'internet' or 'the internet' or somesuch, and items accessing using this one will first try wifi and then go to data if no wifi is present.
Try changing the top dropdown to match the bottom one, see what happens.
Also, if i remember correctly, if you edit the settings for the email account, you can choose which connection it tries to use by default, have a look there, see if you can pick 'internet' (or whatever your bottom dropdown says) as the default connection. (EDIT - in fact i know you can, because i used to provision my email settings manually when flashing winmo, and one of the entries deals with default connection UID, so go have a look at the email accounts settings first before trying the above tip.)
Also dont forget that, (although it is less common nowadays, ) some network providers only allow sending email from that account when you are on their network. For example my virgin media POP email account in the UK, will only accept outgoing messages when I am using my wifi account, and will not allow me to send when i am connected to the net via my phones O2 data account, and you get a 'relaying not allowed' response, which can confuse things.
(Im working from memory, havent run winmo in 6 months, so forgive me if something isn't worded quite right)
thanks bro but......
hi thanks bro for your time .bro i changed settings as u said but no luck and i tried to find email sertings which would allow me to use wifi as default for emails but i could not find those settings in email.and when i was using stock rom 1.66 then every thing was alright but i like energy rom.
wot should i do bro and thanks for ur coment again.
thanks bro
thanks for ur help indeed it was helpful .i again looked in to settings as u described and it worked now no problem at all
thanks bro
heh cool, yr welcome.
(noob, non-techie here) I picked up an MB860 (2.3.6 - 4.5.141) before coming to Vietnam. (I guess I needed the ME860.) Now that I'm here, neither Viettel nor Vinaphone can get the "data to work" (any G) over their networks (wifi does work & can make phone calls). I've monkeyed around with the phone settings including the *#*#4636#*#* wcdma/gsm/etc. settings to no avail. The phone is currently unlocked (factory) and unrooted/stock. Anyone know if there's a way to get this model to work here via the standard settings, new firmware, or rooting? Any help appreciated.
I'm currently in Vietnam and using an rooted AT&T one, running TopSmart 1.3. It work like a charm without any change on baseband, so I guest you don't have to worry.
Your phone is a Korean version or AT&T ? Are you in Hanoi ? May be I could give some helps.

Hey,
It's an AT&T purchased in the US. I'm not in Hanoi - too bad for me
Based on the specs, and what I've seen about Viettel & Vinaphone frequencies (I guess), this model should work. Being an AT&T phone, on eof the setting selectors is "greyed out" which won't let me select a network. I'm thinking that may be the hitch. I'm a noob so I don't Know what TopSmart is. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

TopSmart is a cook rom. Don't mind.
So in general, you can call (and text also) but no data connection, right ? In US (or wherever your previous country), data connection still ok, the problem have occured just in time you arrived in Vietnam ? Have you changed anything in your phone's setting ? Have you register the 2G/3G service with the mobile network provider (Mobiphone, Viettel or Vinaphone - which you still using) ? - It's importance !
Because you can call, I guest your network setting is alright. Try to go to System setting ~> Wireless and network settings ~> Mobile network and check on the box Data enabled (on top of the screen). Restart your device if required, and then open your browser, connect to google.com for testing.
If it didn't help, please take a screenshot of the Mobile network settings screen and attacht here for more reference.
Best regards.
P/s: please answer all my question for providing me as much information as you could. And finnaly, tell me the name of your mobile network provider in Vietnam you currently using. It could helps.

Corect (call text no data)
Correct (worked in US)
No changes in settings other than APN for viettel and vinaphone
Registered 3G service (had viettel and vinaphone techs try and install 3g sim)
My "Data Enabled" is found under a different menu _Battery and data manager_ Data is enabled. Settings-> Wireless & network settings->Mobile networks->Select network (greyed out - option there to toggle/select but not allowed)
Will try and get screenshot.

Hi , is there anyway to force 3g/4g only on this phone..? I've seemed to try every hidden menu code and nothing seems to work.
The reason I ask this is that I've downloaded a global firmware (171) for this phone and unfortunately my carrier no longer does 2G and when im getting poor 3g coverage it switches to 2g and lose service completely. This never happened on my old carrier firmware as it was setup not to switch to 2g.
I also think it's because I have a single SIM version and this new global firmware is setup for dual Sim.
Anyone got any solutions? Sounds like downgrading firmware isn't a option at the moment...
4G only on Huawei Mate 20 Pro works!

Hello,
yes, now we finally found a solution.
Do exactly as described:
1. Download Settings Database Editor from playstore and open it
2. Look for hw_networkmode_preference and edit the stock value "9,6,2,1" to "11"
3. Restart the device
4. Open Settings Database Editor
5. Click on + Add new setting at the top
6. Type "hw_add_4g_only" (without " ") and press save changes
7. Type in your country code, example "502" Malaysia or "262" Germany. Press save changes
8. Type "hw_add_4g_only" (without " ") and press save changes (YES, REPEAT STEP 6)
9. Type in your country code, example "502" Malaysia or "262" for Germany and press save changes (YES, REPEAT STEP 7)
10. Restart the device and VOILA!
Now you have access to ALL network modes. Select "LTE" or "4G" for 4G only functionality.
Like this, you have stable Internet nearly where ever you go, without dropping back to overcrowded 2G/3G Networks.
Best,
Stefan
i know this thread a month old but i tried this and 4g only option is there but it also removes all other options which for obv reasons is not good if in a non 4g area, is there a way to add the 4g/3g option .
ps: i found an old thread to add the 3g again but have to manually switch between the 2 options
Hey,
My device updated to the new firmware yesterday and I have lost the '3G Only' option. Is there a way to unlock this?
Apologies if this has been asked before but I can only seem to find the 4G solution. Thanks in advance

I can't send any text messages over any network mode, and to make or recieve calls I had to change modes.
