man, i never said i was the smartest, I spent like a week in the hermes forums looking for info that I could possibly be using on my treo!!! First question is there any 750 users in Japan? Hopefully there are, I just picked mine up in HK and have been using it here in japan for about 3 weeks, I love the phone just can't seem to work the mms bugs out of it, hopefully some members are using theres in japan on softbanks service.
Hello Etriess
I been thinking of getting the 750v and have had the X01HT by SB but the unit was too slow.. Window... How is the speed of the 750V? do you have software slowdown issues? and what provider are you using? Docomo ? SB?
Inquiring minds want to know!

Hey catfish,
I am using SB service, so I didn't have any issues when it was unlocked. I have now unlocked it and still working fine, I have not used anyother sim card except SB's. As far as speed is I haven't had another WM phone so really nothing to compare it to. I do like it, the speed to me is fine, I like my phone software to be fast, that is why I would never use a samsung phone again the software is just to dam slow, so sorry couldn't help with that question.
etriess,
I just brought over an unlocked treo 750 from the US to Japan and using with with a SB sim card. The one problem I'm having is that I can't access the internet with the phone. The direct push/email synch is working for me, but for some reason I can't access the internet. I'm currently using the Vodofone Access Point and I tried the new *99# access point, but nothing is working for me. Supposedly "open.softbank.ne.jp" used to work, but it was shutdown at the end of April. Do you information on an access point that works with the Treo 750?
I just moved back to Japan, and I have an unlocked Cingular Treo 750 (WM5). I also subscribed with Softbank, with their unlimited packet internet plan. Can anyone tell me the settings they are using for their treo 750 if they are using it with their treo? How did you configure your access point settings? I have been able to make phone calls, but I have not been able to get any data portion to work. I tried some of the suggestions on the Hermes forum, but I could not get the password necessary for the AP to work. Are you using the old cingular/vodaphone settings? Are you being billed per packet?
Thanks.
Yukster,
Did you get your problem solved? Have the same situation with you, searching a solution now for 6 months!
Opensoftbank AP Password conundrum
I am working on the solution to this problem. I think the answer lies in the WIFIwake.exe program that is available on the Hermes and Universal forums. There are three ways this problem could get solved:
1) Edit the WIFIwake.exe so that it can be used with other devices (possible I assume, because the Hermes WIFIwake is a slightly changed copy of the Universal WIFIwake) This will probably prove beyond my capabilities.
2) Get the password by looking at the code of WIFIwake.exe. I have managed to open the exe with a debugger program and there are some likely contenders. I am in the process of trying them now. Trying them all will take some time.
3) Find the guy who wrote these programs and get him to write another that is either universal or that can be used on a Treo 750. I, personally, don't want a 750, but there are more than a few Japanese users I have seen that would be interested in getting this to work.
Anything in here anyone can help me with? I need it.
it works in japan. tested by myself. (in tokyo at least)
@SirJeannot, can you be more specific? I know the 750v should work in Japan as it has the right radios, but the question is what access protocol is being used.
Can you access the internet using a softbank simcard? If so, what access point name are you using? Is it open.softbank.ne.jp? Or is it something else?
Also, can you access Softbank MMS?
Sorry, no solutions as of yet... I have temporarily given up, and bought a Sharp EM One when works on the E Mobile network. I also got a regular Softbank cellphone, (Toshiba 911T) and is patiently waiting for a solution. Right now, the Windows mobile situation is pretty bleak, with the X01HT being sold out, and its replacements being delayed for over 2 months. The solutions from wilcom is expensive and slow, being stuck on a 256 kbs PHS network, and expensive, with its unlimited data plan at over 12000 yen. At least the EM One is pretty capable, but large, and has no phone capabilities.
There is no debate that you can use the Treo 750 in Japan... I have roamed several times with it when it was with AT&T. I have put the softbank sim in, and it works fine, but the data portion did not work.

i can't help you on the settings
Does anyone know what I would need to do to get a verizon branded 6700 running on sprint. I have found instructions for running another networks 6700 on verizon but that is not the best help ever.
I have access to one and I am thinking if I can get it to work on Sprint's network, install 6.1, and maybe even upgrade the memory (am I getting greedy here) that I would give up my mogul to run it.
I am not getting any replies at ppcgeeks.
Hi everyone....:
confused:
i've just bought HTC Rhodium W (6875). it comes with CDMA/GSM Radios, CDMA 1X as primary radio, then GSM as secundary radio. it comes with Radio version 2.21.00.WV, in wich WV means Locked, i think. from my experience with HTC HD2, wich has only one RADIO (GSM), my first doubt or question is: if i want to FLASH a new RADIO to my TP2, which RADIO version should i install?, from what i've seen, some RADIOS are just for TP2 GSM only, others TP2 CDMA only, and i don't want to loose any of those 2 RADIOS on my TP2.
My second question is, if i flash my TP2 RADIO, how i could restore or recover CDMA settings to the TP2, e.g. MMS Settings, Internet Settings, Line Settings.
The third doubt is, if i only flash PDA part on TP2, do it erase the phone settings? e.g. Internet, MMS, Line settings?
I'm willing to flash my tp2 as soon as possible cuz i've seen a lot of improvements, like twitter, docs tab, etc. in many different ROMS out there, but i don't wanna mess my TP2.
Thanks for your help..
ER
If you have a verizon, sprint, or telus tp2 then it is cdma and will ONLY accpet cdma roms and radios. Anything else will brick device. I wouldn't suggest flashing a new radio because that one is one of the latest and there isn't anything much better
Thanks Rhodium500...
My TP2 model is: pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=1989&view=1&c=htc_touch_pro2_cdma_htc_rhodium_w
this phone, comes programmed with primary line in CDMA, but i also have installed a GSM SIM from Movilnet (Venezuela's Mobile Operator), so it has 2 phone lines.
From your answer i'd imply that i should only flash TP2 PDA part only. so i'd like to ask, if i flash tp2 pda part only, do i lost CDMA programming settings, like MMS, Number settings, etc.??
Thanks again...
what exactly is a pda only. Are you talking about a new rom? Yes if you flash a custom rom then you will lose all settings. Hopefully there is a carrier provisioning for your carrier so most can be put back in with the rom. Check ppcgeeks.com for a better selection of cdma roms.
I just upgraded someone else's Sprint PPC 6700 to WM6. I followed the instructions and it upgraded with no trouble. I made a *2 test call and got Sprint customer service. However, when this guy tried to activate his phone (it was bought off eBay) Sprint said that it couldn't be activated. They said it had been flashed to another network, but I don't see how that's possible. Should I have run a carrier CAB file or something on it? Please help, I'm fairly new to this. I upgraded my sister's HTC Dash with no trouble, but I'm afraid I ruined this guy's phone.
So...
1. Why would Sprint think it was flashed to another network?
2. What can I do to make it work for Sprint?
3. Is there anyway I can reverse the process, maybe flash it to the original ROM (and where can I find that)?
Thank you so much for your help.
My Verizon Touch pro 2, that I am currently running on the Alltel network is having a small problem. It is running on cdma like it should, but anytime i flash a new rom to it, the "your sim card is missing" message stays on the screen. Its annoying as heck and Id like to know how to get rid of it. Please someone help.
Also just a quick Q, does anyone know how to setup the data connection?
VZW TP2 (alltel network)
ROM:Stock, 6.5 update, about 5-6 roms from XDA.
