Hi, I bought this HTC touch pro almost one year ago.. my celular provider is switching to 3G but my phone cannot connect the 850 network band...I tried to upgrade the rom at htc's site, they answer the rom must be upgraded at htc turkish site. I have 2 concerns... I can't speak turkish, so I could sell my soul to devil without notice (lol)... and of course can change my phone language to turkish and make it useless for me...
Thanks,
Katya

If your device dosent support the bands your provider uses for 3G then it never will, The Radio bands are hard coded into the cpu so software wont change a thing

First you need to update your info like what country and what Cell.provider you use will help...
this is the spec. for your phone
http://www.htc.com/www/product/touchpro/specification.html
it says that the phone can detect 850 network band...
3G currently 900/2100
maybe you need to check with your provider to change your sim card to 3g capable one.....
for my knowledge some provider when they switch to 3g and you have older Sim will not work and will require new Sim card.
just give them a call nothing to loose.
this is as far as my knowledge...
let us know and good luck...
you have a wwe rom
so in theory it should be possible to upgrade but you need to softspl it first
for the 3G it should be there with or without abbo as long as you have a sim which is connected to the network. if it is not it is not available in the area or the phonesettings are set to gprs only, it shows a G then.
the frequenties are hardcoded indeed and are present in the touch pro.
controlled by the radio rom.
updating my post
Hi... I'm in San Jose-Costa Rica... my service provider is ICE, the goverment company... they just bought the 3g from huawei or something like that...
I'm going to try my sim in other phone to verify 3G compatibility of my sim.
Thanks a lot...
I really like to had the chance to upgrade my phone... I need a US or maybe UK serial number to download new roms
Thanks again

Its not necessary that HTC's Turkish site will have turkish ROM.
And maybe you should try a XDA WWE ROM.
And 3g has got nothing to do with ROMs.
You need to check in device info(in settings) what processor do you have if it is 701 or 702 then only you can have 3g reception.
if it is 706 then sorry you can't have 3g reception no matter what ROM or Radio you use.

But i don' think the OP understood.
Anyways he should be checking his processor.
And giving details about his device.
But for sure 3G has nothing to do with ROM/RADIO/SIM.
It depends on your processor, your network provider, your subscription to 3G.
Hello everybody,
I just bought an HTC Aria and now I use it in Italy, but I have some problems.
First of all, the only language available are english, francais and espaniol.
There is not a problem, i prefer english menu, but on SMS I don't have italian dictionary...I think that I only need to install another keyboard?
So also Google Voice can't resolve my voice, he found absurde english words if i speak italian...this is a big problem, I can't use the more powerful features of android.
I tryed MoreLocale2 and CustomLocale without result, they need root to work or the Aria don't have any another language??
furthermore I have a problem with 3G. the phone work ONLY with GPRS, it don't connet nor 3G nor EDGE (or similar). Need to add the Vodafone APN? Because I tryed to search it but I have found only internet APN or MMS APN.
Thanks a lot for your help
I don't believe that google voice is set up for anything but English (and the US, actually). And the Aria doesn't have the 2100 3g band (only att US: 850 and 1900). So in most of the world you'll be on edge, and that's just the way it goes; it's a hardware limitation. It's not too bad, really: I was just in Central Asia and the Caucasus for a month using a succession of different sim cards, and it worked pretty well. Just no 3g.

Ok!
But is normal who i never see EDGE icon? I see only G (I think I can connect only with GPRS => 50kbps and not with EDGE => 200kb)
(furthermore the phone continue to ask me to set current time and the weather into sense lost my location if I disconnect from WiFi)

Reminds me of the time my old IT manager asked me once if I was a "be sea clist". I don't know if it's common or not, but I was unsure of what he was asking, so he just repeated it over and over and over, finally gave up.
Then I rode off on my bicycle confused..

Man, kills the joke if you gotta explain it.
He was asking me if I was a bicyclist. But the accent made it sound like "be sea clist"

I bought xperia z5 compact from ebay. I am in Egypt it has lollipop and does not give me update notification. In addition, nfc does not work. When I turn it on it returns off by itself. Please help.
If you are using Windows, download and install the FlashTool (klick) and after that klick on the XPeriFirm (XP) button. There you select your device, country, provider etc. and download the latest firmware. After that you can install it directly.

I downloaded and installed it but when I launch the application and connect the phone to the computer it does not give me any information. So, what is wrong?only written connect a phone or an accessory and on the left inactive words(in grey ) like connected item:, soft ware: and so om.
It's not that easy!
Install FlashTool.
You have to set your windows computer to a mode where it does accept unsigned drivers. Please search the internet how to do that.
You have to install the drivers that are residing in a subdirectory named "drivers" of the FlashTool directory.
You need fastboot, the next one (name forgotten) and sony z5 compact drivers (I hope, I remember the names correctly)
Start FlashTool.
Click on the XP button.
Now XPeriFirm should start. If not, there is no way to get the firmware this way.
Maybe you can download XPeriFirm manually, but that hasn't worked here.
If you do not know what you are doing, you should consult the internet for further answers.
I haven't used FlashTool since a very long time.
So I can't say if it is still working as expected.
Edit:
You have to download XPeriFirm from here.
Expand the zip file and copy the file "XperiFirm-x64.exe" (or "XperiFirm-x86.exe", if you are working in a 32 bit environment) as "XperiFirm.exe" to the folder <users>/<your_user_name>/.flashTool
Then the XF button in FlashTool is working (see attached pictures)

Thanks a lot for your kind reply. I want to understand why is my xperia z5 compact which I bought last month from ebay as new unlocked ( running lollipop) keeps displaying the message your device is up to date when I check for updates through setting/about phone/ software updates. Whereas there are two updates officially launched which is android 6 then android 7.1.1. by sony. And how to manually makes these updates? Thanks in advance
Maybe you've bought a device is cannot be updated? I really don't know.
NFC is there or not.... but with punched sony z5 compacts from china / hong kong nfc will not work same as LTE 800 MHz 20 you will be out of signal.... your imei is not 35428207...... Iam Sure....

Thank you. You are right. But is LTE does not work at all in this case or partially? And is there any solution for this problem like a third party application or any solution? Thanks in advance.

LTE will work.... but not 800MHz LTE Band 20. Instead, there is LTE Band 19, which is used only in Japan. LTE 1800MHz band 3 , 2100MHz Band 1 or 2600MHz Band 7 will work. Problem is signal outer the Cities.... in the Villages, operators use only 800MHz LTE there.... better area 4 signal distribution than 1800 and 2100MHz.
So you will have signal in the city.... but maybe nothing at a cottage... or you will loose signal on the road.
you can check this Czech program, at googleplay, yes it´s Czech made free and perfect- no ads, and you see in the log or real-time where are you are or have been connected.... frequencies and lots of datas.... i love this programme. I am not sure if it woks abroad.... but it should.... or try some simmilar program.

NFCs antennas are not included, in japanese models, they were not-available, and I think in some pieces they are added....but they still will not work, because some restriction still is there in Cracked-rooted Firmware E5823 something japanese is still there So no if you want NFC, LTE 800.... buy used Z5 compact from original distribution. I have 3 new pieces now like a new, I have refubrished them by myself.... Like a new Original Sony LCDs original sony batteries, original IMEI motherboards, original sony case interior. Just perfect. Mine hobby.
I would like to use NFC for opening doors in the garage instead of chip on the keys.... it should work, but don´t know "how to."... maybe it is possible If i want to take money from ATM, there is NFC lock on doors, if i acivate NFC, it opens the doors it is good But how to open doors with NFC in da house....
I must ask somebody if it is possible.... I like openning the doors with NFC I dont use it for payment, but for opening the doors
I have lost the keys one day in a car, and doors locked.... 2:00 AM WTF! I had to get out of the garrage and knocked on someones window 2:00 AM freezing..... please help me This NFC unlocking should be very very good in this situation. I had to little crash the doors to get to the garrage and mine keys
I dont know if NFC or some programme can copy datas from key chip..... maybe YES?
It would be great.....NFC chip clone.... hmmmmm

Is the fingerprint working in the models you have? As it was stated that the fingerprint is not available in the US market. If they are like new exactly and have all the features work, I want to buy a black colored one so what is the price?

But as I understand, this is not Japanese version , i.e this is not SO-02H, but it is E5823 as you know. In the japanese version SO-02H, there is no NFC as indicated in the specs. Mine has NFC, I doenloaded app to check and it said yes support NFC. I have NFC icon but does not turn on. When I turn it on , it gets gry and then returns off. So, still do not understand why NFC does not work? And is there a solution for this problem?

So, can I use NFC while it is turnning off?. As it is exist and the antenna exists. and if I understands well from your reply, it is a software issues in the japanese fixed program. If yes how can I fix this? Can I use the NFC while it is off? and in what applications? I want to aslo ask if the one I have is not original?. My imei is :354187076594552. Thank you for your kind help.
A weird thing is when I enter to Google the IMEI to check it will say z5 not Z5 compact. So, I am very confused, I bought it new from ebay.

Hello, fingerprint we have from the beginning since 2015 in EU I don´t understand why in US it was not available.... My brain doesnot takes it maybe mafia cutting fingers in US italian style... but models sold in Italy are with finger print sensor I am sure... Maybe some one from Sony in Japan knows, why US don´t have fingerprint sensors activated... or why they are deactivated
I have 3 white like a new, now i want to rebuild 4.th piece.... No black. Only Whites, because black doesnot matter only white are perfect.... Im joking....but yes only white packs are original SONY. Blacks are copies.
frames complete with lcd and glass by SONY, so i dont need to be ****ed with glue problem. There are only white megapacks available in EU- frame+ lcd + screen glued from Sony. And sorry it is not possible to send it to USA,
duties and taxes are BIG comedy in EU....

Open back doors.... easily... watch back side..... both hands ready and right hand push front frame, left hand push backwards..frame.. push... and use nail or something... when you see space, i start near camera---- guitar pick and open the phone from back.... glue will work after... no problem.... if you make it clever.... pop it up... and there must be NFC antenna on batery.... sticked.... if not, you dont have NFC
toothpick also works fine when you want to enter Z5c from behind bambooo quality toothpick-not copies easy rotate... with toothpick down .... and it will open if there is not NFC antenna, you can be sure, you are not first who opened this phone A: it is SO-02H cracked to E5823 so without NFC, or B: someone stole it whed changed batery.... and destroyed it
I know it is difficult to remove NFC antenna for the first time. when you want get to the motherboard and everything...... you will destroy it.... I know... it si not easy for first time to pop it off.... I have destroyed one- .... but I know.... Now i Know....needle you need to take NFC off the batery, but you must be very very carefull
If you disassamble NFC.... okey you can reassamble Z5 compact complete... disassamble NFC is first difficult step, and not easy.
I am sure, you don´t have NFC upon batery.... it is missing.... so that´s what I think.... software says you have, real hardware check says no you dont have NFC man
