Dear all,
I bought HTC Touch 3G from Singapore based Ebay seller. Now the handset is connected to Australian mobile network. In the left lower corner of 'Today' screen - there is 'StarHub TV' button. Probably the phone was originally ment to be on this Singapore network.
DOES anybody know how to get rid of this to make sure button 'phone' appears instead of 'StarHub TV'.
Thank you!
Ivan
probably software SOFTKEY MANAGER.
I Would think you can probably get an original HTC unbranded ROM for it & Flash it..

Hi I brought a HTC TyTN II a few weeks ago from an Australian supplier. The phone works great but when I try to install the “TOMTOM” navigation disk it says the ROM version is incorrect. I contacted HTS Australia, they say the unit is from Indonesia and so not supported here. Can anyone tell me where I can get an Australian ROM version? I am with Telstra for my mobile. I see lots of ROM versions on this site but not sure which one. ( sorry im new)
thanks
Tim
Yeah I'd like to get my hands on a current TyTN II rom for Australia.
I'm currently running Duttys latest rom which is working fine for the most part. I did have a small issue today where people on incoming calls couldnt hear me speak but a soft reset seems to have fixed that for now. Hope it doesnt come back
You can download it from http://www.asia.htc.com/Dopod_Aus/member/login.aspx You need to register with the serial number of an Australian phone to get access to the Australian ROMs. As far as I was aware the Australian (non branded TyTnII) phones ship with CoPilot and not TomTom. (At least mine did). So this may explain your TomTom issues.
Initially I flashed the Aust Hutch Three ROM to my phone but to be honest it really offers very little over the standard ROM other than the custom Three shortcuts which are easy enough to replace. I am with Three in Australia and very happily running Duttys Roms on my phone. I doubt flashing an Asutralian ROM will fix the TomTom isssue. I would be checking on its Authenticity and chasing it up with the supplier rather than HTC.
The Australian (non network branded) TyTn2's don't come with Tomtom taster, so an AU rom will not allow you to install Tomtom either... hope you didn't pay full AU retail price.
No Asian Tytn2 comes with Tomtom either AFAIK, even if it installs it will only give you a choice of US/Canada maps to download... making it useless.
Best bet is to buy Tomtom or another full version nav program. (and get onto whoever sold it to you asking why an "AU" phone would have the US nav taster (tomtom) bundled and not Copilot7 which is the official Australian bundled nav program.) If you got it from Ebay it is almost definately an asian grey market import... usually an SE Asia OEM phone (which have nothing bundled but Phone Backup, then some bad sellers include a useless US software disk to make it look more legit.)
I've got TomTom running on my TyTN II without a problem. All you have to do is go back one version to the .30 install and you wont have the rom issue. then you just need to copy all the maps and voices down to your storage card. I found the older version of TomTom on mininova.
Hi
My TyTN cam with Map King. I purchased TomTom as an option.
My ROM version is 1.82.707.0 WWE from 11/03/07, so its old. The phone has been working fine until i tried io install the Tomtom. I am also on the Telstra network. Thanks for the feedback so far.

Hello everyone,
I am new to the phone tweaking world while I am an IT technician, I going to visit friends in the U.S and I am planning to buy an AT&T HTC FUZE.
As some of you probably know the prices in Europe are kind of outrageous so I want to buy it from there.
My question to anyone who can help is whether I can flash the AT&T software and put the native HTC on, or at least do something for the software that can make it fully function with my network (Cosmote) in Greece.
Thank you in advance for the help,
Yes assuming ur willing to buy the phone full price and then have a friend with ATT get the unlock code for you, or buy an unlock code. You do not need to reflash the radio because the Fuze has quadband EDGE and triband HSDPA unlike the European Touch Pro. You can however flash a custom ROM which will work with your carrier. (The stock ROM will work too but in my opinion, the ATT one is slow)
The fuze is the htc touch pro aka diamond which is what you will find it under in the forum
here is a link to the rom section if you are interested in flashing a new rom

but before flashing you may want to check here ...it a guide to flashing your first rom

EDIT- you may also want to sim unlock if you are going on a different network.....

I am thinking of ordering AT&T unlocked version of htc touch pro. I am little confused. There are so many version of htc touch pro? I am looking for cheapest version and I think it's unlocked HTC fuze. Now, is there a way to remove all those AT&T shortcuts and get a normal(original) HTC touch pro phone?
The ATT version has a slightly different keyboard on it to the other varients (numbers along the top are removed and are accessed by a FN key - replaced by symbols)
I'm looking at doing a similar thing to get a Touch Pro, ATT seems the cheapest way of getting one but from memory it's about $50 more with other carriers that use the normal keyboard.
Yes, that is the case with keyboard but I don't mind really. I've found that I can latter install other rom and get original HTC touch pro, something like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=444784
@hidden_hunter, is there any other version that will work with GSM providers worldwide and has original HTC touch pro keyboard?
You will want to get the HTC Touch Pro T7272 (European Version) over the AT&T Fuze because there is a descrepency inbetween the US (Fuze) 3G Bands and the European (Touch Pro T7272) 3G Bands.
I am thinking about selling mt Touch Pro as mentioned in these thread replies: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=466685
If you're in Australia I think ATT's 3G bands are the same as Telstra's so it should work no issues, others might know more (I'm with Virgin mobile who since being totally bought out by optus seem to be becoming worse and worse value) So you would need to check if the frequencies are compatabile (make sure you don't buy a CDMA version for instance)
I live in Bosnia. Would Fuze work here?
Check your PM. I sent you details.
I live in Australia and I'm thinking about buying a Touch Pro from USA since it seems cheaper. I was wondering is there anything I have to look out for that might stop it form working here. Eg. Network issues.
I'm thinking about this one
Hi,
The phone in the link operates on the CDMA network, you'll want the GSM version (the one that uses a simcard). It is also network locked and will need to be hacked/unlocked.
Very cheap though...
Thanks
Some of them say A & T service required for some of the features. What does that mean?
you don't really need to "hack" it. just get someone to create your unlock code for you. you can get it here on xda or even ebay. I believe olinex can provide you the unlock code for a price. I can gaurantee that these guys here at xda are very helpful so dont' worry about that too much.
you should think about what band your provider in aus is using.
Good luck!
EDIT: those "features" are ATT specific and you can make those disappear. check the links on "unbloating" your phone. It's pretty annoying but it does not do anything for your phone if you don't use ATT's network. Check out the thread on flashing for beginners. Read it carefully and if you have questions, be very specific.
Thanks for the help. I been using a jasjam (hermes) with a flashed rom but the hermes is in bad condition so thinking about getting a new phone.
Dood, I'm in Aus and also upgraded to Touch Pro from JasJam.
A warning. You will not get Telstra NextG video calls. The touch pro does not operate on Telstra's band. Just in case you were/are a Telstra man...
Also, you should be able to ebay a cheap as new unit in Australia... I've seen many go for under $300.
A brand new phone for less that $300???
What are you searching "HTC touch pro"?
Touch Pro or Fuze in Australia?
Mate, check the 3G/UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA frequencies used by your provider!!!
The TP AND the Fuze will work AS PHONE in almost any GSM network (beside some Asian countries i.e. Japan) since they are 4 band GSM devices. However, using the benefits of high speed data aka 3G you have to check which band your provider is using. AFAIK Telstra is using 850/1900 which matches the ATT US network while t-mobile and the std. TP use 900/2100. IF you are with Telstra get a Fuze and it will work. People here in the US buy the HD (not offered here in the US by ATT) in Australia to operate it in the US network.
Good luck and don't get screwed.
Hi,
This is my first post - so please excuse me if I sound dumb.
I have recently bought x 50 HTC Touch Pro 2's from Cellular South, I have looked for hours online but I can not see where this device originates from?
I think this device could be a "Sprint Version" because everything is identical, even the back case.
The only difference is that the keys are blue instead of orange.
Can anyone help me on this matter? because I want to ensure that the ROM I use is the right one.
Kind regards,
Louise

I admire the fact that you're asking this to start out right.
If it is branded Cellular South then it is a CDMA Rhodium. Cellular South changed it's name to C Spire Wireless.
For hspl unlocking and roms I suggest you look here:
