Hi all, just checked the HTC site and registered for the free WM6 update and the serial number on my UK VF Titan is not recognised on the www.htc.com site.
Does anyone have a solution to this?
1) I suspect you are in the wrong forum, this is the TITAN forum, not the TYTN. You need the Hermes forum here on the board.
2) The HTC site updates are only for HTC branded devices (like the TyTN). Since you don't have a TyTN but a Vodafone branded device HTC won't let you download updates from them. You'll need to contact Vodafone or use an update provided here on the forum.
I have the Mogul (aka TITAN) and my serial number is not located on the HTC site. I tried to register for the e-club (or whatever it is called) and they did not recognize my serial number.

Read my post again.
The Mogul is SPRINT branded, not HTC.
The HTC iclub is only for their OWN retail phones like Tytn, TytnII, Touch and Advantage.
Any phone with operator branding can't be registered on it (so no MDA's, SDA's, VPA's, Moguls, Dash, Wing etc...).
Does anyone know if they're going to release an official Vodafone ROM upgrade? I've contacted Vodafone and they sent me a text with a link for the orange ROM upgrade??? I was also told around mid-October that it would be released in a week??
are you sure they didnt send you to THIS page for all downloads, , , on which currently the top entry is the orange 3.14 rom? (and is also the page that any carrier 3.14 roms will appear)

Yes samsamuel, it was. I would have preferred it if they'd just said keep and eye on the hTc website, as that's what I've been doing for about 2 months anywez! Thanks for the reply m8. They sent me the following email:
Hello Paul,
Just to let you know that prior to releasing or approving any software update for our Vodafone customers who have bought a handset through Vodafone, we test it thoroughly to ensure it provides customers the best possible experience on our network.
Our testing process begins as soon as we receive the software, which often happens once the manufacturer has already released the open market version of the software.
During the review process, we report any issues with the software back to the manufacturer for them to address. Once the firmware is approved by Vodafone, we return it to the manufacturer and they will then distribute the software to customers through the appropriate channels.
We undertake this process with every device that we sell to customers, regardless of whether or not the handset contains Vodafone branded software.
If you have purchased the device from another company (Phones 4U, Carphone Warehouse etc) it is possible that the device may not be on the Vodafone version of software. In this case the manufacturer would be in control of releasing any future updates.
I trust the above information helps.
Kind regards,
Pravin Raut

Vodafone is so bloody annoying. I remeber it was released first on vodafone rather than orange, so how come orange got update before them. They had released ROM for HD mini, HD2 might be on the way....... no good vodafone !

I agree. I can't understand how orange got their update out before voda? Not only that, they then go and release a ROM upgrade for the hd mini? I just hope it comes out before year end?
Hello,
I synced my Outlook contacts to my Wiindows Phone. They are all saved with the internal ISD code in the format of +65 XXXXXXX in the names.
However, when someone calls the number shows up as only XXXXXXXX without the country code.
This error is really annoying me... and I just bought my first Windows Phone which is the HTC Titan.........
Hi Vikram,
This is a documented issue for people using a Titan in one country from another country.
I am using a UK Titan in Singapore, and I have the same issue.
Please post the following information, help us try and get to the bottom of this:
OS Version
Firmware Version
Source country of your Titan
(and out of interest, where did you buy it?)
Previously, people have experienced the same issue when porting WP7 to the HD2. See this thread. The poster there (Kjettern) installed a xap (a wp mini program) that edited the registry and made it work.
The regedit goes like this:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone]
"CallIDMatch"=dword:8
A guy in Singapore with a Trophy got it work with this method (Trophy is an earlier version of WP7, not WP7.5 like the Titan).
So I figured to do the same thing. To do that you need to unlock your device then edit the registry (or install a xap that does the same thing).
...exept that even if you can unlock your Titan (either developer unlock or chevron unlock), then you still can't edit the registry due to it not being INTEROP UNLOCKED.
A couple of nice people (Heathcliffe74 and GoodDayToDie are trying to get interop unlock working on HTC devices but no joy on Titan so far (it ships with the updates on it).
SO, the news is - wait til someone cracks it, and then we might have a solution.
Funnily enough, Kjettern in Norway now has a Titan, using the same European ROM (I think) as the rest of us...and he has no problem with the CallerID/contact card issue. But then the Norway Titan is designed for use in Norway (see the back of the Europe model box) so maybe there is additional regional coding in the OS somewhere?
In the meanwhile, I have apocrophylic news that someone in Singapore has a Taiwan model, and no such problem with CallerID/contact cards with phone numbers.
So I got to thinking, why not flash my Titan with the Taiwan ROM?
A nice guy called Football sent me the ROM...but because the Device ID is different you can't do a straightforwards Rom Update Utility flash...you have to use the "goldcard" method, which is pretty complicated. I made a frankenstein cable to achieve that and must have screwed up somewhere because it blew my screen out So my Titan is in for repair (yes, HTC Singapore will repair for S$50 handling charge under Global Warranty).
When I get it back I will try to flash the Taiwan ROM again. If it works, I will report back here.

Oh yeah, there are a few of us posting on Harwarezone SG website in the WP7 usergroup. Come say hello.
But XDA is much better for the techy stuff
Should also add: you can store both numbers +65 xxxx xxxx and just plain xxxx xxxx as a workaround...not practical if you have 1000s numbers of course. I edited key contacts in Outlook and added the xxxx xxxx as "assistant". It doesn't show up in WP contact cards, but it does work on incoming calls.
Hi all!
My friend was bought a Lumia 800 for Christmas, but its locked to Orange and he does not have an Orange sim.
I have had a look on a few sites stating they can unlock it, but 2 have failed to do so so far!
And having to wait a week+ each time to see if its worked is just getting on my tits!
Anyone know of a place I can get an actual working unlock code
Cheers
Keith

Check ##782# in the dialer and it will tell you if it's definitely sim locked or not.
Get him to contact Orange and request them to unlock it. Maybe say you're going on holiday somewhere for a month...
This site could unlock it.
As it is early days it is expensive to unlock it due to certain technical restrictions. See this thread for an explanation and more discussion on sim unlocking.
Will check if its locked in a min, but im pretty sure it is.
Will try orange if the current unlocker i have orderd from does not deliver the code today!
I have tried UnlockLiberty.com and currently trying unlockitnow.com!
I expect it to be expensive to be honest but as long as we can actually get it unlocked in the first place would be a start
Cheers matey
Bought mine from the pcw and tried your # thing. When I dialled the # code it says its already unlocked

Orange can unlock it as long as you know the original mobile number that it came with. It will take upto 30 days and cost £20.42p. So if you can get it done elsewhere it'll be quicker and cheaper.

It's a small circuit board that sits between the SIM and the phone, they generally cost a couple of quid, and somehow do work.

Hmmmm strange!
May have to give one of these a try...
The Lumia 800 uses a slim sim similar to the iPhone 4's dont they?...
Yes, a micro SIM.
hmmmm, cant seem to find any for Micro Sim's other than the iPhone ones!
Not sure if they will work with other phones...
Sure for a cupple of quid i could give it a go though haha

Well i have orderd a GEVEY TURBO SIM adapter to see if it will also work in our Nokia.
They do say for all versions of iPhone, but i cant see why it wont work in the Nokia...
Worth a shot anyway! haha
the reason no one is getting unlock codes from the suppliers mentioned for lumia on orange or tmobile uk is because the lumia is actually locked to a new hybrid orange/tmobile mcc+mnc network.
phones locked to this network are not locked to tmobile or orange, they are actually locked to both networks, try both sims and you will see for yourself, that the phone will take sims from both networks, but not any other.
T-Mobile and Orange UK have merged recently.
They have started locking newer NOKIA handsets to a new MERGED network MNC+MCC
NEW T-Mobile / Orange UK Merge Lock uses MNC+MCC = 2343300190233141
Older Standard Orange UK uses MNC+MCC = 2343300000000000
Older Standard T-Mobile UK uses MNC+MCC = 2343000000000000
*
Known models with hybrid lock
Nokia Lumia 700 locked to UK Orange or UK T-Mobile
Nokia Lumia 710 locked to UK Orange or UK T-Mobile
Nokia Lumia 800 locked to UK Orange or UK T-Mobile
Nokia E7-00 locked to UK Orange or UK T-Mobile
*
What About Other Nokia Models?
There will be more models released soon that will require this service too.*
Remember these are newer Nokia handsets, you wont need it for older models.
*
How to Check if Other Nokia is Locked To This New Network.
There are 2 ways to check orange and tmobile nokia handsets. to see if they are truly locked to the new orange/t-mobile uk network or are actually locked to the standard Orange UK or standard T-Mobile UK networks
*
Method 1.
Try both a t-mobile sim and an orange sim in the nokia phone
if the phone accepts BOTH SIMS = locked to new T-Mobile/Orange hybrid network
if only the orange sim works = locked to Orange UK network
if only the t-mobile sim works = locked to T-Mobile UK network
*
Method 2.
Read phone info using usb cable and this software
(software requires nokia pc suite installed first for drivers, full video guide @ the bottom of this page: http://www.imeicodes.co.uk/instruction/nokia.php)
If it displays config key 2343300190233141 = locked to new T-Mobile/Orange hybrid network*
If it displays config key 2343300000000000 = locked to Orange UK network
If it displays config key 2343000000000000 = locked to T-Mobile UK network
Which begs the question, are there actually any solutions yet? If we can't get unlock codes off Orange nor T-Mobile, as the 800 is locked to both, who do we get the codes off?
Ive tried sim-unlock.net and unlockdata.co.uk with no success. anyone else have other places to order from?
fonefun, thanks for the update on the carrier situation.
Does this mean that the database is only accessable by T-Mobile and Orange at the minute or do unlocking sites have access to the algorithm/codes too?

we have tested around 12 imeis before we put the service live. so yes you will start to see this service on other codes site as our resellers catchup to speed on this very new service.
the service is online already for single code buyers for the tmobile/orange hybrid network locked nokia handsets on the imeicodes website mentioned earlier in this thread. they take about a week to process at the moment. look for the "Special T-Mobile UK / Orange UK Nokia Unlock Codes" service on the prices page
Hi Fonefun,
Got a Lumia 800 from e-bay not sure if Orange or the hybrid network.
I can't seem to get the Nokia BB5 usb utility to read the phone config key. I tried the 2.5 version too.
The lumia doesn't use the nokia suite but Zune. I installed both with no success. I tried on both a Win7 and Win XP machine. The phone is recognised in Zune but not the utility.
Any advice would be welcome.
Jon
all lumia on orange or tmobile are hybrid
you wont be able to read the lock area using that software, because the lumia is different and cant be read by anything at the moment.
we read an e7-00 ok though with it, this is how we discovered the hybrid. after trying 2 sims in the e7-00 we confirmed this was the case.
so we got the lumias and tried orange and tmobile sims in them, and yes both worked, but any other sim did not, so we sumarised that the lumias are also locked to the hybrid network, we got the new hybrid codes for them and unlocked them, we tried on 800 lumia, our sources tell us all lumia are the same lock types for tmobile and orange also.
we put the link on for the code reading software to enable people to check newish handsets too because we simply dont have the handsets to try ourselves, so there may be more...
Hi Everyone,
I have a HTC One X+, That for some reason wont unlock...as far a i can tell its locked to Telus ( via CID Telus001)
I've bought 4 codes online for this device, 2 others sent me emails saying "we could not find a unlock code for your device's IMEI" The ones that did send one are the same (i got a tip from Telus that on their system the IMEI of my One X+ shows as a One X) on this whim i bought a code for a Telus One X too (and oddly enough the One X code was the same as the others) I also tried an AT&T code, but yet none of them work, the phone is stock not rooted.
So i called HTC and asked them to check in there system what the Phone is listed under, they Told me that It is "Branded to Telus" and "It Is a HTC One X+"
The guy i bought it from told me he was using it on Telus, when i called they found no trace of the IMEI in the system
And about 5 30 min Phone conversations later im still Nowhere....
Any and All help is greatly appreciated
