UK Tmobile Build - Whats The Difrrences Really ?

[Guest ccsnet]

I asked this question on the Tmobile forums as it would help me hypathetically compaire the base HTC build to theirs....

Sooo here is what I think the differences are...

Boot screen ( I think there is an extra sequence ???? ) and that anoying startup at full volume ( whats with that )

Some Tmobile ring tones

A Tmobile web link URL on the home screen

Probably some predefined network settings / OTA lookups etc so they can control updates

....but thats about it..... some one mentioned some Tmobile apps but I truley cant see any thing that is not included as part of the OEM build.

My G2 Touch came as you described.

-extra bootscreen

-mega loud boot sound

-web n walk widget

-some ringtones

-APN settings

I didn't get any T-Mob apps, but I think the peeps in the US get some extras.

Ok, so I got the emails with the d/l links but when I click them it says not found on Market. Must be locked to specific regions. I then tried Market Enabler and no dice there either :)

Maybe someone in the US confirm if these work?

Is it alright if you share your APN settings as I had the stock T-Mobile Rom but since updating my MMS don't seem to send. Also what is the default homepage as this has also changed and I did find it very useful

MMS on my phone has always been weird mate, even on the original ROM.

My girlfriend has a Sony Ericsson on Voda and if she sends me a MMS I get notification I have one, but it wont let me download it, then about 24hrs later it comes through ok. If I send one to her sometimes she gets it, but sometimes she doesn't.

My friend at work has an iPhone on O2 and he doesn't receive my MMS but I do receive any he sends me within about 5 minutes.

Very weird... I keep meaning to call T-Mob about it actually.

If you Google "T-Mobile UK APN settings HTC Hero" then you should find what you're after. Although I have never had to re-do mine and I've flashed and wiped numerous times.

You can customise the homescreen by adding the apps and widgets you want. Just click the + sign at the bottom right, or long press on blank area of the screen.

Thanks for the info, but in terms of the homepage, I meant the browser homepage. It was a default t-mobile page. I've googling every possibility and can't find it.
