Which ROM Should I flash? - General Questions and Answers

Hi guys,
I am using the unlocked HTC Touch Pro (not Fuze) and I am located in Vancouver, Canada. My carrier is Fido. After googling for a long time, I came to the conclusion that there is no way to remove the false roaming indicator and roaming alert messages (even though I am not roaming) other than flashing the rom. In this case, which rom would you guys recommend? I'll be happy as long as I can get rid of the roaming alerts and everything else similar to the stock rom. I apologize if a related topic has been posted in the forum before as I can't find any guidelines and I am very desperate...
Thank you very much in advance!!

Welcome to the forum
I would recommend to enter in the correspondent sub forum (Rapahael) and READ a lot, then test different ROM´s till you get the one that fits your personal needs.
Goodluck,

WM6 Upgrade now No signal Radio bad?

I have tried several radio roms to try and fix the problem but I always get the icon looking for a signal never detects GPRS or any signal does this mean I have a bad radio? I have the PN Antenna,AFM50-000015,ACON where can I get one? Any help would be great!
Do you get normal phone coverage? If so, have you set up GPRS correctly for your network?
Keyboard for WM6
Dear XDA peeps any idea where i can download a i-phone like keyboard( directly on my ppc) that has all the new tweaks (pop up letter, skin...)
Looked all over but nothing.....
Thanks

Thanks for the reply, Not sure if I have the GPRS settings correct, went through all of them and changed some things, let the device sit for hours but still no signal.. I'm lost
Does the SIM work in other cellphones?
Cuz I have a SIM here that's expired and all it does when popped into any phone is try search for signal which it doesn't find any of course.
Had same issue...
AT&T/Cingular USA primarily uses 850MHz signal; 1900MHz is concentrated in larger cities. However, T-Mobile uses 1900MHz...You may have to switch. I had the same problem and found T-Mobile as my solution. I Hope this helps...

HTC Touch Pro/AT&T Fuze with Fido

Hey everyone,
I got an AT&T Fuze (Touch Pro) and Im using it on Fido in Canada. My data is working perfectly fine, my only issue is that my phone keeps switching from 3G to H every once in a while, I was just wondering why and whats the reason for that?
Also, I have a little exclamation mark (in a yellow triangle) in the top right hand corner right beside the 3G/H/E Icon. I don't know why thats there?
Thanks to all for the help!
No, that's neither yours nor your phone issues. Once you' re in the better speed coverage, the phone will jump to H or your phone is accessing the internet.
"little exclamation mark" is a "roaming" indicator.
Heres the thing, it jumps back and forth while even accessing/using data.
Is there anyway to get rid of the exclamation mark?
have you flashed the rom?
I would be interested in how to get rid of the roaming icon too.
I have tried all the registry changes to no avail. The icon, and roaming warnings for things like the weather app, remain. It's about the last thing I need to fix but I seem to be stuck.
Im using RRE's ROM. So far it seems to have fixed itself, but now Im having more issues. I wonder if I should flash to a different ROM.
Hi guys,
I have a somewhat related problem and I hope someone can help me out. I just recently bought an unlocked HTC Touch Pro (not the Fuze version) and I am using it with my Fido sim card. Everything works and I was able to setup EDGE on it, but what bothers me is it keeps saying that I am roaming (for example when I access the Weather app). I am wondering if this is just some sort of a glitch due to the phone being unlocked or am I really roaming? I also get that roaming icon at the top. I am located in Vancouver so I am not out of town or anything. I just want to make sure so I don't end up having a crazy invoice by the end of the month. Thanks very much in advance.

It's because Fido uses Roger's towers now, but the companies are still identified separately and therefore it thinks you're roaming. As long as you have a data plan, you should be ok.
PS. Depending where in Vancouver you are, you should be getting at least 3G (3G), or hopefully HSDPA (H), vs Edge (E).

xda_fanboy, thank you very much for the helpful information. I can finally stop worrying. I do have a data plan with Fido so that should do. However, this is the second day of using the Touch Pro and the only data network I get is Edge. The only setup I did to my phone is what is listed in http://www.iday.ca/2008/11/how-to-setup-rogers-or-fido.html, under the Fido section. Would you mind taking a look and see if that is all that I need to do? I really appreciate all your help. Thanks again.

Please see my post at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3192894&postcount=3 and see if it helps. I believe you also need to go into Settings>Connections>Advanced Network and enable HSDPA/HSUPA to get the full benefit.

I also have this phone and live in Vancouver on Fido. I don't think it will work on 3G, or so it seems. Mine is not the ATT version either, just the stock HTC. Currently it runs fine on the standard network, although as mentioned i have not been able to get rid of the roaming icon, but have never been charged extra. Its too bad we can't use it on 3G, and if any can find a way, that would be awesome, id love to be using the full potential of this phone.
I think we are stuck with no 3G, unless there are any suggestions?
If your not using the AT&T Fuze, then you won't have 3G in North America. Don't worry about the roaming icon. Since the phone (or is it the software?) has no idea that Fido uses Rogers' towers, it thinks your roaming. I have the roaming icon as well, had it on many non-branded Fido phones.
I turned off 3G because I hate seeing my icon go to 3G then H at random times besides when Im using actual data and it seems that with 3G, I get worse reception! Makes no sense I know, I've tried 3 different radio's and all have the same issue. Im thinking if an HTC Touch Diamond Rogers branded Radio will work, then that would probably work the best. Anybody know if/where I can get it?

If you bought a stock HTC Touch Pro (non-ATT, non-North American) then you won't have the NA 3G radio frequency and you're stuck with Edge.
Regarding a ROM, head over to the ROM sub-forum. There's a step-by-step guide on flashing your first ROM. As far as which ROM is best, it depends entirely on what you want from it, and even then varies by personal choice from person to person. There is no 1 "best" ROM. Check out all the ROM threads (there's a Roger's specific ROM available FYI) and pick one based on what you like.

I have a similar problem as Speng2, but I have the HTC Fuze which is the american ATT branded one. I unlocked it, flashed the NATF 4.7 rom and tried many diff radios and can never get more than EDGE. I used to have 3g when it was stock. I live in Los Angeles which is a 3g area. I get full edge signal but no 3g or HSPDA. I have a feeling it has to do with a setting. Pls help.

This thread was specifically for Fido, a Canadian carrier. I have no knowledge of the settings you will require for your carrier in LA, which is the most likely reason you are not getting 3G. I would try contacting them if you haven't already. Otherwise try and find a thread for your carrier, or perhaps check HF (not sure if we can post URL's to other sites). Good luck!
What if you dont have a data plan

What if you don't have a data plan? It seems that sypod has not been charged extra for Roaming... Does anyone know how Roaming works with FIDO? I just got the HTC FUZE and I don't want to have to pay outrageous Roaming charges. Any Ideas?

[Q] National Dataroaming

Hi @ All!
I have a question regarding a custom Rom, unfortunately I'm not yet allowed to post in the development forum, but maybe someone can post my question here or can help me.
I'm using the CyberGR-MOD|NS.NGN ICS v.14 HYBRID
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1425344&page=413
as daily driver and like it very much, there is onle one point which annoys me.
I did not find a possibility to allow national data roaming, in CM9 rom this was possible.
I'm not sure if I did domething wrong or if it is easily possible to implent into a new release but any help or advise is appreciated.
thanks
What is it supposed mean? National? Your operator does not have entire country coverage?
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
yes, in areas with low coverage my provider is roaming to another provider without any additional costs for me.
so i have to enable roaming on the nexus but then it can happen if I m close to a border to data roam into a real foreign network. which causes additonal costs.
I use Virtual Roaming Control; same problem in Netherlands, provider Telfort using KPN service, giving "R" on national use; and as I live close to the border, don't want to switch to international roaming accidently; it works great for me!

Hi,
I know that there are certain apps, but my question was if this function could be implemented into the Rom.

[Q] How to change the radio band to work on 3G in 900Hz?

Greetings, I am new to the forum.
**** I searched every post, but I have not found a solution, or not understood enough to solve my problem. Who is next, and if someone can tell me if this is possible:
I live in Venezuela, and I have a Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket (AT & T), which is only working with EDGE because my carrier (DIGITEL), uses the 900 band for 3G, and as you should know this is not the using my phone.
Is there any way I can change this to work with my operator, was thinking about flashing CM9, and that radio band recommended me to use.
I have followed some tutorials on this forum, but no positive results, such as the total signal loss and now has an echo when I make the phone calls.

Had you spent a little longer searching you would have found that 3g bands are hardware dependent. To change them you would have to replace the antenna and them decode the device to work on this band. Not very easy. Your better off getting a different device.
