I picked up the Pro at Best Buy and am a Sprint Customer.. .
Here's my question. The Touch Pro was supposed to have an FM radio built into it. It seems that Sprint has blocked it. Does anyone know any way to get it back on? Also, can anybody tell me of a way I can tether my phone without paying the $45.00 monthly fee for phone as modem? And lastly, there is also supposed to be a way to turn HSPA on/off for faster connections. Again, that tab is convienently missing from the Sprint version. Oh and one more thing, what about changing themes like the clock?
I'm poking around for the answers but someone can help.
thanks,
Tom

Newbie. I plan buying the GSM versionof this phone when Rogers get it later this month. Can anyone tell me how to get rid of ALL the stuff that Rogers will have put on the phone? Unless someone knows of something they have done which is actually useful. Is there?
I plan getting my data via wifi - any tips on how to do this?
I'd like to use the GPS without going through Rogers. Is this possible?
Are there any programs I should load to make the phone more functional?
Many thanks.
I have a T-Mobile comet that I bought as a backup phone. My regular phone is a HTC-HD2 with all the appropriate mods such as Magldr, root, and the NAND Rom of my choice. It works great.
My data plan is a Blackberry plan, however as stated the HTC works fine. The Comet does not:
I have rooted the Comet and I can get weather and news updates just fine, however when I browse the web, I get the dreaded T-mobile screen indicating I have no data plan. Here are the APN’s I have tried:
Epc.tmobile.com
Internet2.voicestream.com
Wap.voicestream.com
Anyone have an Idea on how I can make this work without changing my data plan?
Thank you in advance!

To answer your question in a simple way...the set up for Android and WinMo form T-Mobile's end is different.
Call them and asked them to change your data service to Android...I have an HD2 running Android with that set up with no problems.

Thank you for the reply. I need to keep the data plan as is for when i have to use my Blackberry. As I stated the HD2 works fine, forgive my lack of knowledge, but why would the HD2 work and the comet not?
Also is there a way to make the comet work by flashing it with something?
Just seems odd to me that the Comet has SOME internet working.
Thank you again.

T-Mobile has different set ups for different devices: Android and WinMo do work with the same set up...I know that since I'm using an HD2 running Android. Now BB is a different beast due to the different protocols for its data system.
Like I said...you can not have it both way mate. As you've noticed it wont work.
I suggest for you to change it to Android by calling them and see what happens otherwise it won't work as you are experiencing it
Cheers,
thank you
Well not what i wanted to hear, but that's how it goes sometimes.
Thanks for giving it to me straight.

I found a thread on this, but it was incomplete. I want to drop this phone off at a local company that flashes phones. If I get this flashed, which company would be best? Also will I get working data? 4g?
Hey Yall, long time XDA follower and user (HTC Shadow2007), first time "really" posting.
I, for the love of GOD, cannot find out just why I'm not able to use any of my rom's built in tethering for my T-Mobile branded Sensation 4G. I been reading up on T-Mobile US's hidden APN on their network which disable's certain traffics. (Yes I know about spoofing UA Strings for desktops/laptops but this seems to be different, like they are disabling my connection to the PS3 only. In other words, it will find the AP (not ad-hoc) and but not allow for an internet connection.
Lately, I've been switching between CM9 stable(main) and Elegancis (Blitz_3.0.0) roms. I haven't superCID'd but I didn't think that it would've mattered because I don't think that I'm using an non-T-Mobile US build (it wouldn't work either way).
I wanted to stick it CM9 but for whatever reason it would allow me to update some market apps so for that reason and well as the tethering issue I've switched to Blitz's rom.
My kernel version may actually be outdated (even thought I don't think so)

The first flashing that I did was Revolutionary HD 6.6.7 (i think). It worked fine but had problems as well (not perfect ). I want to change my data plan to the T-Mobile nationwide unlimited 4G plan and save me $35 buck a month to tether my PS3 to my phone. (I can do it now.) To test to see if the rom would allow me access to tethering to my PS3, I switched my wife's sim card and mine to simulate the plan and the phone without having the plan active on my account and it's a no go. I switch the sim cards back, it works just fine. Now she can tether via her phone and via mine (if sim cards are switched) to multiple computers and to the wii.
IF ANYONE HAS THE ABILITY TO HELP, PLEASE PLEASE DO! :crying:

Hi,
Have you tried just using an "OPEN" connection instead of secure?

Thank you for replying!
Well it worked one time a week ago with my wife's sim with WPA2. Since then I had already reverted back to CM9 which was my main rom until ... yesterday when I went through the process of putting all the applications from titanium backup on blitz's rom. I was going to change my plan till tomorrow from the $65 10GB tethering (before work discounts) to the $30 Unlimited Internet (before work discounts). I can try it with it being "open" later today but, i honestly don't think that its the problem because when I use my SIM card (the one with tethering enabled by T-Mobile) it connects with or without encryption.
Any ideas? Any roms that you know of that have wifi hotspot (not ad-hoc only) enabled by default? I looked into Grogg88 solution but, at this time it looks to be enabled in Elegancis' roms now anyway or am I missing something?!

Hi,
I have always tethered my tablet to my phone.
It worked both open and secure on Sense ROMS.
When I switched to CM 10, I could only connect with open. (but ,at least it works,which is all I care about )
I have not tried anything like a PS3,so ,I do not know what else to suggest.
Have you tried an app from the market?
I think "Barnacle" is good.

I understand! I have tried barnacle, wifi tether beta 3.2 (having trouble even getting to work), um... foxfi with and without additional supplimentary application, none of those actually give an Access Point, none ad-hoc (which the PS3 can only connect to). Hell I even have try usb to computer tethering (via bluetooth, wifi, and wired connections), create a computer "MiFi" hotspot and tried to get my PS3 to connect to that Access Point to no avail. Like I said though, all is good with my sim card but if I use my wife's which has Unlimited Nationwide 4G data service to test her data feature on my phone, past that 1st time I tried it with Blitz's rom last week... and the 2nd/last time I tried... this morning... its a no go.
I don't know what they are blocking my PS3... can they see its MAC address!? I can't imagine that the can really "see" it? Everything else works just fine on her phone tethering to it. Desktops, laptops, tablets,.... my 4 year old son's wii! IDk
I just want to not worry about data shortages (going over 10GB limit) and play Borderlands 2.... GOD IS THAT SO WRONG.
PS. I'm switching home internet providing... that one I had sucked (great speeds60mbps, too high $65-70monthly)... but I'm waiting for a deal in the area.
I'll try open though later. If you know anyone else to ask... tell them to please come to this thread!
You know something? I love how you posted this in 2 separate forums . Next time don't double post.

Funny... I think I did know that..... You sir/ma'am are a genius! :highfive:
Look instead of "worrying" about 2x posts from someone actually looking for some help for normally helpful ppl... just go do something else! You took time out of your "busy" day just to insert that stupid comment and THEN NOT EVEN HELP. I did what I did because I can't post in the Dev forum because of the 10 post rule... Please again if you're not going to help, just in general, don't reply to people's posts just to flame...
