How to change continental code? - General Topics

Hi all,
I'm planning to purchase my first HTC ('HTC- Touch Pro' alias the 'Raphael'-kinda) through some colleague who'll visit china next week. Yet, I'm trying to find out what tools and cabs I can find for this beautifull piece of art, really great threads around here!!
Also I'm trying to find some tool / way to edit the Continental code (i don't know the used code/term for this) but so far without result.
Posting here i'm hoping for someone to be able to lead me in the right direction, link me in the right direction or tell me to stop wasting time .
Yours, Jappo23
Additional info:
* the HTC - Touch Pro
** the plan: 1) purchase @ china. 2) Tweak the mobile so i can use it in Europa (NL) 3) Freak around with my cool mobile

i would go here

and find my phone and read about flashing to another
language if it's not in the language you pref
and how to get around regional blocks if there
are any for the device you own

Looking for freeware app:Grandasoft Xdesigner

Hi folks.
Not been on here for a while but I got a new XDA (Touch Diamond) and I'm looking for a freeware app that used to be around for producing forms. I figured the vga screen would make it a less laborious task than last time I tried it.
The software is called (I think) X Designer or X Forms by Grandasoft. The Grandasoft website is gone so I guess they aren't around anymore but I was hoping someone would have a saved copy I could snag. Not asking for illegal software here as I said it was free anyway.
Failing that, could anyone suggest a similar software I could possibly use. I want to be able to tailor and produce a daily report sheet from a template and then send it back to my office by FTP or email.
Cheers!
Pete.

Google is your friend.
Cheers buddy, but I had already got those and they don't work. You need a key (which is free) but I can't get one because their website doesn't exist

I'm in need of some assistance

Hello, I'm new here.. actually the previous owner of the phone sent me here. Well in summary, I brought a HTC Tilt from someone and they had PDA Corner Ultimate with this on it (R 1.70.19.09 G25.83.40.02 h D 3. Abusalza). Now I have no clue what that all means but I like the phone. First off once I get the IE homepage and type anything in the search part, the website is tiny (unable to read). i tried adjusting the text size and still the same thing. Then it will not allow me to select what I'm searching for (i.e. search- yahoo messenger, bring up the site but I can not select it or go to the page). Next it started acting weird by putting 5s in the address bar (on its own). I've been looking throught this site, trying and hoping that I will find something to help. I may have bypast it (too tired now). Can someone help me figure this out? I also would like to flash WM6.5 on here. i read the tut for that but was wondering do I have to remove the stuff thats on here first? Thank you and feel free to ask me more about this.
Hello my friend.
First, read up a bit on your device, visit the xda wiki, search for tilt and do some reading before you do anything daft.
You arent ready to flash yet. Understand your device a bit and how it works, then when your ready have a play
Visit the wiki here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TiltSpecificWikiPage
Have fun
I had to step away and take a break. No offence but I'm still lost. On the other hand I'm still reading up on this. i think i might just start from scratch. I'm looking inthe phone to see what programs like and post it on the thread where I can get a custom ROM.
the att tilt is the att variant of the htc kaiser (the only difference is the keyboard layout which may need to be fixed depending on the rom source.. you will just need to install a cab), check the kaiser rom section. As for a recommended 6.5 rom, its a person opinion, but i use anryls Roms.. and for you i would recommend the 21500 rev6 build (i have been having corruption problems with all the 21501 versions) To warn you though, 6.5 is not finished and there for not completly stable.... for example the camera does not work with htc menu enhancement (its a driver issue)
Like i said if you wanna look around for yourself sheck the kaiser rom section.
hope that helps,
Joel

Some info for those who own the hTY Q5.

Sorry for your luck if you are thinking of flashing an ELF ROM, the mainboards are similar in shape but the components are different. But you can use the Elf batteries. At least you have a source for batteries.
There are new hTY Q5 WM6.5 ROMS on the Chinese forums but most do not have the english keyboard. I could not register at any of these sites, the security Captacha wouldn't pass for some reason. Google's translations are lame when it comes to the Chinese language. If someone can actually manage to snag one of those ROMs please post it here for testing. Appearently it's pretty much straight forward. Put the ROM .img file in the root of your T-Flash card, hold the center select button and then push the power button and the phone will update the ROM. (***Caution***) Before flashing you need to know which LCD your phone has. The older models have the ILI LCD and the newer models have the LG LCD. On the phone keypad dial **168## this will bring up the HCIT Test Program where you can get the ROM version your phone has. It will look similar to this Q5_LEN_WM6.1_V3.00_091216_LG28_OV2_HY76_HTF_ND_BT_WF_G
(ILIxx)
If those of use who own these phone band together and do our research, we should be able to give new life to our hTY phones. We need our own section in this forum.
Still searching.
HTY Q5
have you on the HTY Phone the elf Rom running?
I Have tnhe same Mobile...

Does anyone have a Firmware update for Hantel HTY Q5 Windows 6.1?
Updated info at top post.
English rom's
I am also looking for English WM6.1 or WM6.5 for HTY Q5. I have several Chinese WM6.5 versions. I will keep looking and let you know. Concerning Google Translate, try opening the original Chinese version and translated version and use the translated one as a guide but enter everything through the original page. I was able to register with Chinese forums this way and then use Live translate or Google to login and download. You also need to download a special program called raysource to download most of them.
I also have T4242 English WM6.5 and will try and post later today.
jaygreene24, thanks for the info about registering on the Chinese forums. Is there a way to replace the Chinese keyboard with the english after flash. I want WM6.5 but not if I cannot use the phone afterward because everything is in Chinese. I would prefer an OEM flash, cause most cooked ROMs have lots of bugs.

a NEVER-solved-problem: SMS encoding/decoding or character set

Hi,
This is a great great problem in my country without a solution yet:
Turkish characters are not shown in the recieved SMSs. Instead of them only a space there.
For example:
written by another phone and sent to android: "yoğurt yiyorum şu anda"
the recieved message: "yo urt yiyorum u anda"
The phones which are bought from Turkey and not flashed a custom rom don't have this problem.
They (actually, all the phones those are sold here, in Turkey) have an expression on their boxes: “This device is in accordance with ETSI TS 123.038 V8.0.0 (or the code of the subsequent version) and ETSI TS 123.040 V8.1.0 (or the code of the subsequent version) technical features that include all the Turkish characters.”
I think, the custom ROMs are not in accordance with these standards.
I have two android phones at the moment: a Galaxy Spica i5700 (bought from Turkey), and a Nexus S (which I bought from US).
Spica had the Turkish characters first. But I have rooted and flashed the phone, so lost the characters. Since I don't have the original ROM, I can not get them back...
Until here, I tried to describe the problem.
Now I will give what I have that can help to solve the problem:
1- ETSI links: They are not the exact versions but the closest that I could find.
ETSI TS 123 038 V8.3.0
ETSI TS 123 040 V9.2.0
2- An Original Turkish ROM: it's for Galaxy S i9000
http://www.multiupload.com/ZCLE3EOPWH (it's a PIT file)
It will be a great favor if anyone can solve this problem...
Thanks in advance,
Erkam

I think you are possibly doing this in the wrong area. I think that if you want traction with a change like this, that you would need to do one of three things.
1) Contact maintainers or on the boards of a ROM you like to use (Cyanogen, etc)
2) Try to get it noticed by Google on their official Bug Tracker and Feature Request Tracker for support in stock Android OS
3) Code the fix yourself, Cyanogen source and "AOSP" stock android are available, and introducing character-set capabilities into the messaging app aren't exactly trivial things, however, with time and dedication I am sure it is possible.
I agree that foreign character coding out of stock Android isn't always there, or if it is, it isn't universal across all of the stock applications (like your example of SMS/Messaging application). Does this do this also in GoogleVoice? Or maybe you don't have access to Google Voice since you are outside of the US.
First, I want to thank you a lot for spending your time to answer
I tried your second advice but did not get a solution, yet. Still waiting.
I wanted to try the 3rd one too, actually. But I need to gain more computer/coding skills to achieve that. I could not even find an understandable guide to learn (or maybe I am too noob to understand).
So, the remaining advice is the first one and I am going to take it immediately
As you said, since I am outside of the US, I do not have access to Google Voice, unfortunately.
But, if it is ok for you, I can send a message to your google voice to check it.
by the way, ofcourse, it is not only a problem of Turkey, but also Spain, France etc.. I could not find a solution in their forums, neither.
Thanks again, for your help.
