Hutchison 3 Rom?

Hey guys!
I bought my HTC Touch Diamond off eBay a couple of months ago. (It came unlocked) I have been using it with my Telstra sim card ever since i got it (I live in Australia, by the way) anyway, i am now going to switch over to the Hutchison 3 network, so i went over to the HTC site to try to download the ROM update, for this network. Unfortunately, because i bought my phone off eBay, it came from South Africa, so it won't let me download the ROM upgrade.
Is there anything i can do to get this update?
Thanks

Touch Diamond CDMA Radio Question

Hi XDA,
im currently deployed in South Korea and i have a Sprint HTC Touch Diamond, ive unlocked it and changed the rom on the phone. Now my question is im trying to find a some of the South Korean Radio's and i cant find them....the touch diamond was released in south korea to SK Telecom and i believe LG Telecom. South Korea does not use sim cards here....the only thing they have that is remotely close to sim card is a Korean online banking system.....but back to the question could anyone here help me find the radio's so i can have a decent phone to use in South Korea. Once i find the radios i can get my contract switched to the phone. Thanks!!!

HD Voice

Hi, perhaps somebody knows if i8190 supoorts HD Voice/ AMR Wideband from Hardware + Software site?
And when yes, how to activate it without root? On my S4 I can do it via Service mode option.
On i8190 I never found something like that into the service mode...
Want to talk to my Girlfriend In HD Voice, please help

Nobody?

one way is to go to network operator service and have them installed the software with HD Voice. backup up your personal data before doing that.
i tryed searching for software with HD voice enabled but can't find it.
ATO firmware had hd voice for older phones. but for i8190 don't have it. yet

To bring branded firmware to an not branded phone is not an option for me!
When For example Vodafone have enabled that feature in their radio rom, then there must be a way to activate it somehow.
When I need root for that ok, but With my GS4 there is a way without root over service mode option. When use the same way, then I cannot see options like AMR-WB into it, so there must be another menu for that!
I'm generally not sure if this phone is supporting that feature at all!
My GF has the i8190 version, so without NFC or LTE!

ATO is open austria software and is not branded to any mobile carrier.
if you find something helpful please let me know.

But, how to check that it is enabled?

install software and then call a friend which you know for sure it has voice hd enabled. i don't know any other way. i'm not a developer.

I can call myself on my gs4, this is the only phone where I know exactly that hd voice is enabled!
Generally only Vodafone and Tmobile have hd voice active here in germany in their radios. Standard DBT devices generally have that disabled.
Perhaps I'll give it a try.
Problem is, that I have to factory reset the phone then, I think that will be no option for my GF!

There must be a hidden service mode for that....nobody?

SM-N910U Region Locked?

I'm considering getting a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910U from Hong Kong and was wondering if Samsung has started Region Locking their devices in Hong Kong since they have started doing this in Europe and America?
Do I have to activate with a Hong Kong SIM card before I can use it anywhere else in the world?
Any help would be most appreciated.

I live in HK and bought mine here. Use it regularly with Japanese, French and US SIM cards without any issues. You should be fine.

Excellent, so I don't have to go through any device activation process with it.

I also have the hong kong version and I have used it in the USA and Colombia without any issue.

That's excellent thanks for the advice guys! I will let you know what I think of the device once I get it!

No lock, but be aware that in the UK you will be limited with the supported bands - for 4G you may have to go with EE or... Three? I forget now, it's been 6 months or so since I got mine.
Have a look at the supported bands, and compare to your UK supplier - I moved away from Vodafone for this exact reason.

I'm on a O2 Pay As You Go SIM , which from my research should work fine on the SM-N910U.

I'm on Rogers in Canada and my N910U works just fine. Although I seem to have constant ****ty cellphone reception that my s4 doesn't seem to have, both are on Rogers.

AFAICT O2 use 800 for 4G and 1800 for 2G, so you'll miss out on 4G if you use the N910U on O2 in the UK.
I could well be wrong, but that's what 5 minutes of googling told me.

I appreciate the info with regards to O2 and the Note 4 N910U. I did my homework too before reaching my decision If I do decide to get 4G I will switch to another network. But 2G will do me just fine for now as O2 has allot of free WiFi hotspots in the UK.

:good: Fair play, just so you know about the 4G bands - which you're well aware of

I do have another question with regards to cell reception on the Note 4. I've read a few comments from other Note 4 Users that they have experienced some cell reception problems. Has that happened to anybody else?

Firmware differences

So, what are the differences for Customized_XX firmwares? Still waiting for Customized_DE but i don't even know if there's any version to the french or italian version tbh. Can't find anything online about this. Would be great if anyone knows if there are any differences or if they're essentially the same thing.

My phone came with nordic. Flashed the singapore fw when it came out nd only difference ive seen is that it comes preloaded with the amazon app.

Yes im running Singapore too. Its clean. Working fine here in Sweden. I guess its contains country specific bloatware perhaps. Havent any in Singapore version..
Im guessing...

I flashed the russian (RU UA KZ BY) version. Its R7C which should be the most up to rate basically and they usually get updates quite fast. I don't know if LTE channels can be unsupported by firmwares but that was another fear since we use different LTE channels here in germany than phones in asia. So far everything fine, it's fast and got some nice changes, let's hope my wifi problems won't come back. Pretty satisfied with Pie for now.
