Easiest way is to call your provider for settings. My provider just emailed them all to me so I can set them up whenever needed.
I have t mobile usa, I will call in a few mins, hope they can help, bacause last time i called and I had a p910, they had no clue what I was talking about.

lol! I know what you mean... they should have a technical department for support with more advanced handsets like the Universal, just ask for them. If not, I'm sure there will be another TMobile USA user somewhere in the forum who can give you theirs. Good luck, keep us posted.
P.S... it may be worth giving Jwrightmcps a private message as he seems to know a lot of the providers settings, just a thought.
So, to be clear, I should tell t mobile that I have a mda pro, not an o2 exec, in essence they are the same unit correct?

Yes, same unit, different branding in different countries. Original model name is the HTC Universal. Hope fallenczar can help you out earlier though
I'm on the phone right now with tmobile usa and they are telling me that I will need the 29.99 plan to actually get on the net, as when as of yesterday I was still getting internet with my regular plan of 5.99. Also that mda pro does not support t zones, but mines did before the upgrade, also that by march 1st this year in NYC, not even my p910 will work with t zones, they will need the 30$ a month plan. Now this is ridiculous.

If you ask me, they're trying their best to get you on the $30 plan by any means... and it's a load of B$! Might be worth asking the reasons why it wouldn't work on t zones (and is that public wireless access or GPRS connection?).
I know US doesn't support 3G/UMTS2100, but that has nothing to do with GPRS...

T-Mobile Internet settings
Hi,
I'm from Holland as you can see, but the settings must be the same isn't?
Start/Settings/Connections/Conections/ 'Add a new modem Connection'
Name for the connection: T-Mobile
Select a modem: Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)
Acces point name: Internet
User name: t-mobile

Finish.
Maybe this works!

Thanks, now for the ignorant question before I attempt, how do I properly install the cab file, and where. Thanks in advance, and for everyone who is also trying to help.

Just copy the CAB onto your unit somewhere (anywhere, just so long as it's on the phone's memory or the SD card), then just go to it via explorer and click on it to open. Installer will do the rest. If asked where you want to install, select the device. And that will hopefully be problem solved woo hoo
The set up file is in XML format, and when I do the above it just opens in IE in HTML code, nothing else happens. What am I doing wrong?
Ok, I got that I needed to put the RAR file without extracting on to it and run it, I did, and got a CAB was unsucessful to install.

do you have any program in the extended rom to install the operator settings...
anyhow
soft reset and try again...try installing from the main memory...
if that dosent work try downloading again....also try this files that i have attached....put both the settings and the file in the extended rom..and run this file...the rest should be obvious
It says customization tool cannot be installed, thats what it actually says. Now, Since I am new to this, where on my device do I find the extended rom?
btw, this is the rom i used to update to wm6....
XDA_Exec_WWE_20108_20301_11300_wwe_ship
put the two files i provided you in a folder and run the exe file....
or read this....at the bottom of the page you will find the settings...

IMEI Required
Can someone please re-up this to a different server? I have a test version of the phone, it won't accept my IMEI!
what does this upgrade? when i clicked on the linkt o find out it said dash so idk if it mean the dash or dash3g lol
It's for the Dash 3G, and it doesn't seem to do much. From what I've read, it updates how the phone handles switching between EDGE and 3G.
Well I need it to restore mine. I have an old pre-release version. Someone please upload it! My IMEI is the beta so it does not accept!
I downloaded and installed the new ROM and have had nothing but problems. It seem to lose signal when switching between Edge and 3G. TMobile is sending me a new phone. One 10 minute call and they decided to replace it for me. Great service but beware of the new ROM.

Hi,
I am on a mission today, to upgrade my phone. Currently I have Windows Mobile 5.2.21812 and its very unstable.
I know nothing about flashing these, as I bought the phone from EBAY not knowing it had Windows Mobile 6.5 on it.
I notice reading in the forums, I need to know if its CDMA, or GSM etc ? How would I tell that please? Phone is HTC Touch Pro.
Many thanks.

If your phone has a SIM Card Slot then its a GSM Model. If it has no SIM Card then its CDMA.
Ohhhh I see Thank you ever so much.
Would this be the right ROM to use - just making sure, before I start to read all the instructions ..............

Steveyg, Touch Pro's are CDMA too. No one wants to help you if you're going to brick your device. Are you GSM or CDMA? We will assist as much as possible, but help us by answering that simple question.
Ohhh I understand now
Mine is a phone with a SIM, thus GSM is that correct?

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...ked_WM6.5_ROMs
Could someone explain please?
Radio is comparable to something like your WiFi card in your laptop. Depending on your location, etc, some radios are better than others. They control your signal, GPS, WiFi, etc. The most used one that I've seen is 1.14.25.35
UC Capable is something you need when you start cooking. If you're new to the Raph, you probably don't need this info yet.
SPL is the most important. Since you bought your device pre-flashed with 6.5, is should be hardSPL. This helps prevent your device from becoming an expensive paperweight. Now, it helps, but doesn't guarantee. If you put your device into bootloader (hold vol-, hold power, and reset with stylus) your device at the top of your screen should say something like SPL-1.90.Olinex. This means it's hardSPL and you are able to flash custom ROMS, like the NRGZ28 ROM you linked to. As long as they are GSM you should be able to flash any ROM for the GSM Touch Pro.
These are the basics so just keep reading the wiki. I will answer any questions I can, so just shoot me a PM if needed
Hey, if you want to flash your Raphael, I'd recommend you read this
I did my first, regardint this thread, and actually worked, really simple if you ask me!
Some suggestions: Leave the radio, for first, just do a simple ROM flash, and after that if you find it nessescery you can do it later.
The only ROM I tried for my Raphael is TAEL's ROM, it's amazing compared to the stock ROMs!!! If you're intrested click on it in my signature!
I have the following ROM;-
r:- 1.11.25.01
g:-52.58.25.30u
d 5. phoenix
Do I have to revert to a OEM ROM? If so, where do I find those please?
Good news, I've been sucessfull Phoned imaged to TAEL Roms - very good.
Could of questions;-
1. Don't have the sat nav the other image had. Can't remember the name of it. but I used to use that quite alot. Does anyone know where I can download it from?
2. Used to have an application called FLASHLIGHT - great little app. Its a TOURCH application that used the FLASH Light. Really handy. Where can I download it please.
Many thanks.

1) are you talking about the garmin or tomtom gps software? or the one where you use the GPS to lock down a location (kinda like "dude where's my car?" app for the iphone)
search on the forums under software development subforum. it's called Torch.. that or NueLight.
Thanks I managed to find the torch light thing, but still can't find the sat nav. Not sure what the name was. It was really good though. Wasn't the tom tom navigator. Wish I made a note of it, as it was fully working version :-(
are you talking about the GPS navigation software? if so then it's either garmin (mobile XT) or tomtom
Hi,
Looking on my storage card Managed to find the name - AUTO MAPA. Tried to load it from the storage card, and it works. So I have copied the exe to the start menu, multimedia folder and it works great
Whats this GARMIN Mobile XT like then?
Since updating to TAEL Rom, my signal is very low and keeps disconnecting from the network.
Do I need to upgrade my RADIO then?
My version is;-
1.11.25.01
I found this one, would this work ?
http://www.4shared.com/file/133094257/1e1ce983/BlackStone_Radio_1172509.html
try testing other radio. I changed my radio to the new ATT official rom (not so new anymore but it was the latest updated ATT rom). Test it out for a few days each and map out what you think works best and keep to that.
One thing I noticed is that some radios will crash your phone after a call.. they may give you better signals, but it will crash your phone, so be aware of that.
Hi,
Thanks for the message. Does it matter that I am on TMOBILE and not ATT ?
Don't get me wrong google maps is quite a robust gps tool, but I was so used too telenav from att on my htc fuze. When I got my htc hd2 I was disappointed I would have sacrifice telenav, the cab files and download links i found on the net and on this site would not run properly. After some digging I came across a download link that isntall a telenav app that works flawlessly. Since i am a new user, there is restriction that I can't put urls in my post , so I have attached the cab file
I tried to install on my HD2 T9193 (with AT&T) and it says that this phone is not supported. Could you give a step by step to get it working on AT&T?
Thanks.
it ask for a pin after installation....
Your pin is....
....the last four digits of your cell phone #

It probably could be the rom you are using that is causing the compatibilty issue. I'm running the artemis rom. I installed telenav by adding the .cab file to the micro sd card and then running the file using file explorer on the phone. If it is not working for you, try installing telenav on the micro sd card instead of the device, it should work that way too.
so this wont charge me a monthly subscription?
and maybe someone can answer my question...
i am currently in the "trial" period of TeleNav... and i forgot what it said in the begining... but it said something along the lines of "you have ____ days until your trial period ends, if you do not cancel.. you will be charged a monthly fee for the service bla bla bla..."
so basically i tried canceling shortly after within the application itself.. but that didn't work... so i tried calling TeleNav Customer Service... and they stated that since i started my trial period within the phone (HD2) that i have to contact T-Mobile Customer Service in order to cancel the subscription...
So i called T-mobile.. and basically she told me that after the trial has ended.. i will be informed.. and Prompted if i wish to continue using TeleNav.. and i can choose either yes or no... and then it will either get cancled or charged a monthly... but thats not what it said in the begining of the app.. it said it would be automatically charged... anyone have any thoughts or experience with this?? i really want to cancel it cause i found "waze" which is a great free application... and i don't want to get charged... but the customer service rep stated that i couldn't get charged unless i agreed.. so will there really be a prompt?? i'm not sure who to believe...
i live in norway, can i still use the cab ? will it work? and where can i find the pin?

Good question. I know with att, they were two options after the tail period $4.99/month for 5 uses or $9.99/month for unlimited. I think it automatically rolled me into the former and I had to access my account online, to either change the option or remove the service from my account. Telanav is a subscription service and as new subscriber they gave you a 30 day trial; it is not like a third party app that gives you a trial period, and then after the trail period ends you can either buy the software to continue to use it, or simply uninstall it as the app would be unsusable without purchasing it. If you manage your account online, I would log in on day #31 to remove the service, or call T-Mobile customer service to have it removed. Then uninstall the software on the phone.
I hope this helped!
P.S. Just curious, what service are you going to be using in place of Telenav. I tried google maps, but didn't like it all that much.
i use waze... and the new bing.. works perfectly... i don't even use telenav anymore..
I have used this app since I got my HD2. I have not paid a cent for it. Mind you I do a hard reset it seems at least once a month. It starts the trial period all over I would think as I have not had to pay for it. It's a damn good GPS navigator. Especially for free.
thjanks a lot buddy
I have installed the cab file but not I cannot find it in the app list. How can I remove it?
Thanx
Hey there y'all!
I have a messy situation right here, looked for answers all around and coulndn't get a clue anywhere... so I'll try to explain in the clearest way possible my weird issue... (sorry for my English, will try my best to be rightfully understood)
Six days ago, I got this cute Samsung Galaxy S Fascinate SCH-i500, my cousin sent it over from the States down here to Mayan lands of Mexico... I had ZERO knowledge on Android, and in these past six days (including it's sleepless nights, and mostly thanks to this amazing forum with tons of useful resources and really helpful, cooperative people) I just learnt a WHOLE LOT about the marvels of Android devices...
First, I started rooting my SCH-i500 succesfully (yay!), then came the attempt of activation with the only local CDMA Carrier (Iusacell) and the equipment's "Homologation" (that's the term they use here for the programming cellular hospitals and workshops have to do to one's device in order to function properly with the carrier's infrastructure, no need to say this is something a little bit dumb, I consider the carrier should help their customers, specially the new ones, to set-up their data plans... I found out about carriers like Cricket who even help you with a flashing tool, if I'm not misunderstanding, to get your cellphone working with them), well, voice activation was pretty neat, 5 minutes and I had a line... be it a MDN, a MIN and the correct HomeSID for my area, and then came the "hard" part for the newbie... After trying to and succesfully figuring out how to use QPST, and hours of desperate search for faulty info on latinamerica carriers to dump to my Fascinate, I did it, for some reason I changed my ROM to "powerwashed_20_b3_Full_ec09modem.tar" and began working with it, it wasn't until today that I got 1X connection with my carrier, it was awfully slow!! managed my way to get 3G, and I DID! But it was still clumsy, only green arrow sending a lot of data and no orange incoming data to my device... which was desperating because the carrier said "they don't guarantee the phone is going to work being from another country, but I had to try and pay for a pre-paid data plan in order to make my tests... well, I knew something was not going well with the data I was using to fill the required fields in QPST... went back to my stock VZW ROM and went over and over the process of reprogramming my phone's service... I found out that VZW settings were somehow stuck to the phone, and no matter how many times I entered the info, it wasn't changing to my carriers info, I used first QPST 2.7 build 323 to fill up what was needed, uninstalled and then switched to build 215 (as I read around here) in order to get the PPP settings to stick to the device and override the Verizon old settings... and then was the nasty "nightmare-ish" moment I could never foresee... QPST threw a pop-up window marking an error, saying I was using the wrong SPC, and that I needed it for writing the QPST info to the device, THE SPC CHANGED!!! It just pops me out (in QPST as well as in the ##DATA# or anywhere in the phone) the sign: "INVALID LOCK CODE". Is that even possible? So sorry for being ignorant, but couldn't find an answer that could really solve the problem... yes, I tried CDMA Workshop with no luck at all... my cellphone actually lost contact with the carrier and had to go to the PowerWashed custom mentioned above (Im still in the network, but can't do any significant change without the SPC code)... so, any kind suggestions?? any expert around looking for helping a fast-learning noobster like me?
Hope there's something silly I'm missing because of ignorance or something like that (nothing "deadly" for the device)
Thanks a lot in advance for taking the kind time to read my long query, and for any help your knowledge may allow me to get out of the unpleasant issue
Have a great day!
My bad! I'm sorry...

I'm on T-Mobile too. T-Mobile starts looking for accounts that have an unusually high amount of traffic. They look at the user-agent, and if its a known desktop one, it'll auto-route to the upsell page. So to get around it, using a user-agent not on the t-mobile upsell routing list will allow you to continue as normal.
Proof of this, my cycle reset, I removed the user agent, and I was fine until I hit about 45gb in two days, then I got the upsell again. Kicked the user-agent back in gear (Safari -> Mac Safari 7) and I can tether as usual.
Even though we have tether_dun_required set to 0 making it look like traffic is coming from our phone, there is a "conflict of interest" what is being reported vs user-agent being used.
Hope that makes sense.

New cycle in terms of my billing period for t-mobile (when they capture amount of data used, minutes, and texts). Yeah, IE is flagged as desktop browser, you'll get an upsell page for sure. Doesn't matter if you have a custom rom or rooted. At the end of the day, unless you use VPN to encryt the data transferred, simply looking at the user-agent of your browser is enough to trigger the upsell. Did Safari work for you and are you seeing the sites as usual?

Sounds good. We're here for you; good luck my friend.
Boot
Tmobile should give serious abusers the boot
100gb??? Jesus. I'm sorry to say but it is users like you that make carriers want to keep our phones locked down. There is nothing wrong with tethering when in a pinch, and maybe using <5gb of data /month but 100gb is just outright abuse. If you are using your phone as your primary data connection, then you should be paying for a tethering plan.
