I am currently living in Egypt and my dad got me the HTC one m8 as a present from the states. Its the Verizon unlocked version but the problem is I cant seem to update it because it keeps asking for the CDMA mode only"!!! sooo annoying and the type of service I'm using here is GSM/UMTS. Does anyone have a solution for this problem?
another problem is I cant use hotspot because I dont have Verizon Sim :S:S any solution for that too ?

Hi guys,
I'm new to the forum. I've tried searching for some answers but can't seem to find how to resolve the problem. I'm quite new to using PPCs so let me know if there's any information that you guys need.
So my phone works fine in Canada using Rogers... but everytime I go to US, I cannot detect a network for my phone and there's a "!" at the top. I tried searching for a network and it says "no network found" or sometimes it tries to register and then it fails in the end. In US, my phone automatically shuts off... I have no idea how this happens but everytime I go to look at my phone after leaving Canada, it's off. So when I go to turn it back on, there's no phone signal. I have no idea what to do as I'm not very familiar with PPCs.
Thanks for the help!
Which phone are you trying to use? Guessing Touch Pro?
Is international roaming or data roaming added to your account with Rogers?
Hey I have the HTC Touch Pro... yeah I've used this sim with my eten m700 before and it works fine. It just always seem to be searching for a network then it can't find any.
Thanks!!!
are you a prepaid customer? if so, Rogers doesnt allow roaming outside of canada.
Hey there... Just figured I'd pipe in here...
I am still using a TyTN (shopping for a Touch Pro today), and although I was able to always use my phone in the states, since my last firmware upgrade (WM6.1, new radio stack)....
....I can't get any service when I cross the border.
SOMETIMES I'll get 10 minutes of service over the course of an entire day. Very strange.
It is obviously firmware-related... Good luck with your phone...!
Thanks for all the help guys...
Nope I'm not a prepaid customer... should I be upgrading something on my phone to see if it works? Sorry... really don't know much about PPCs here!
just out of curiousty, have you called Rogers to ask for an updated OTA to be pushed to your SIM?
I've contacted Rogers and they said it has nothing to do with them... it's my phone! Should I contact them for the OTA? I'm sorry to be so noobie but... what does OTA do?
Thanks again!
Anyone help please!!!
Hey people, sorry if there is already a post for this but i'm a little confused about my phone. Is it possible for the verizon touch pro 2 to be used on GSM networks like AT&T? (I think its GSM) or overseas like in europe? A lot of people are saying yes and no, i just want some clarification.
Thanks. Just got my Touch pro 2 like 3 weeks ago and still figuring everything out. lol
The Verizon TP2 has both CDMA and GfSM, The phone is unlocked will work on edge band here in the states on T-Mobile and *((. Overseas without unlocking it will work on some 3G netwiroks depending the bands.
Yes to your question....
Verizon Wireless is not strictly CDMA; it too is GSM 850 in rural areas you expect AT&T to cover, and in fact T-Mobile has roaming agreements with on the 850 spectrum. It's not at all uncommon for VW to have GSM where it's bought a previous GSM territory as it did recently in both Alabama (Unicel) and Louisiana (Centennial Communications); both GSM 850.
ya. it will work. its a quad band phone. so you'll get 3g on t-mobile and att.
I got my SIM unlocked and threw in my buddy's T-mo SIM and made a phone call. The caller ID came up with his #.
yes i worked for me.. i used http://rhodiumw.htc-unlocks.com/ and it was a breeze.. im using a sprint touch pro 2... with Verizon firmware.. on the At&t network..
Only issues i have so far is my internet settings mess everyone once in a while and i have to reapplya At&t internet settings cab i have.. and i cant get 3g to work.. just Edge. and my MMS only sends.. i'm having issues with recieving MMS. Not sure if these issues are fixable but hopefully.

Hey guys, one quick question:
I'm interested in buying tis phone but sadly I cant seem to find one available in Toronto or Markham (Ontario) so i'm thinking of buying one from TELUS (CDMA) since i heard they are sim un-lockable.
This post is merely a request for re-confirmation about that ability.
Will I be able to buy the HTC Touch Pro2 from Telus and sim-unlock it to use on Rogers/Fido Networks? Any limitations/advantages?
Can Telus do that unlock for me or is it a DIY software method?
I'm sorry if come off somewhat noob in my question :x I'm not new to the phone development but I havent been involved in the scene for almost 2 years and jus wanted a nudge in the right direction
Seems like a fun phone, esp with the ability to dual-boot android (i hate wm6...lol). Thanks again

Yes there is one limitation. If you have the Rogers/Fido Id caller (7$ option), it will not work on the phone.
Instead of showing the caller name and number(even if he is not in your contacts), It will only show the Number.

wow that sucks :/
so if someone i dont know calls me, (even with the callder ID service) only their number will show up? -_-
no way to get around that? i get a lot of people who call me outside of my contact list and it'd be annoying to not know whos calling lol
thanks for the reply
how can you tell the difference between a normal GSM TP2 and a GSM/CDMA one?

i'm pretty sure there is nothing to fix. since are using someone elses sim it is assigned to their phone number. the only sim that would show with your number would probably be the one that came with the phone. (if it did come with one). i have no idea how it would grab your number from the cdma radio but i guess thats how the stock one knows your #. if you put a different sim in it, it will have a different number.

DO NOT put a gsm rom on a sprint touch pro2! your phone is cdma!
well i ran into this problem on my htc fuze that i put a custom rom on for rogers. caller id would only display the phone number and not name. after few days of searching i have found a (rilphone for rogers CNAP.cab this is gsm patch dont try on cdma phone wont work) patch for the radio just install from phone soft reset and caller id with name worked. But that was a gsm phone. i dont know if maybe can work on some radio cab patch that could get this to work as well. Just posting this to see if anyone is up for the challenge.

Hello,
Ihave a really annoying problem with my wildfire s, I can't connect to the mobile Internet.
with the sim of my sister it works perfectly, and when I put mine in her phone it doesn't work either.
Can someone help me???
Yo need to call the company. Maybe they are blocked your phone number to access GPRS.
they also bloked phone ?
I agree - your phone is not the problem at all. Get in touch with your service provider. Is your bill up to date?

I had a problem before where I couldn't connect to the internet after an upgrade. They might need to grab the IMEI number off your phone. I know that fixed my problem.
I'm not sure what your problem is, but it's definitely an issue with your service provider and not your phone.
Hey All,
I have a Model: HTC C625a (PM23300) originally a Bell Canada phone but unlocked and being used on ATT. Does anyone know if I could flash the ATT factory ROM on this phone? Bell have been slow with any OTA updates and I'm still waiting for portico. As far as I know, the radios are the same.
Anyone done this? Cheers.
Crossing paths again . Did you ever get the Portico update pushed from Bell?

Hey! Yep, finally got it but now this tethering thing is bugging the hell out of me... maybe its time for a new phone???
Just FYI guys, I have a Bell 8X on the Bell network, and can tether without any problems. Not sure if LTE works, there's no LTE yet where I live.
I also have an 8X on Bell, tethering works, and have reached as fast as 18 down / 14 up, with 67ms ping in central Vancouver.
I have a Bell 8x on the Fido network and I can tether on LTE as well.
Sent from my C625a using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
The problem is that the phone would tether but would not let the tethered device tunnel through to the internet. It would connect to the devices no problem just no internet connectivity.
I called AT&T and while surprisingly helpful, they didn't have a clue. Then I got in touch with HTC, they tried a couple things and suggested that my phone had a problem and while I could send it back in for "repair", they would just send me a duplicate Bell phone. It is in fact still under warranty. Now that sounded like a plan right up until they told me that it would then be locked to Bell when I got it back and that this new DCMA law now says that only the carrier (Bell in this case) can unlock a carrier branded phone. How do you like that?
So, I have retired my 8X and gone back to a Lumia. I really did love the phone and I hope that HTC brings out a couple new WP8's in the next few months. Something maybe in a 32GB and with SDHC card support??
Anyway, good luck to you all. It is a great phone but I'm not going to buy another new one. This is my second 8X as it is. I'll just wait and see what's next...
Cheers.
did you try factory reset? my wphone did this i ad to activate tethering at my carrier , then do a reset
