Orange have quietly dropped us!

[DCTEN]

I noticed that orange no longer sell the DHD! That's a little odd i thought, then i thought about it for a bit and came to the conclusion that no, it wasn't in the least bit odd! My wifi still doesn't work properly since the upgrade! Orange probably got tired of getting millions of complaints about this brick!!!

They may have dropped selling the phone as they will have the new phones in now, dual core ones etc


what problems are you having and i will see if i can help

The list is long and would take too long to go into it now but if you know how to keep me connected to my wifi for longer than 5 mins at a time that would be very useful to know. I've assigned myself a static ip but that didn't solve the problem either.

 

[Haggistech]

ok so u have static IP, have you also assinged theDNS and default gateway aip addresses?

what security are u using on the wireless router?

 

[El Presidente]

Also keep 3G switched off when connected to WiFi.

Thank christ i'm unbranded

Ip addy = done
Gateway = done
Netmask = done
DNS1 = NOT done
DNS1 = NOT done

if that's helps?

Cheers

 

[Haggistech]

ok u will need DNS so that it can find websites, set it to the same IP address as the default gateway

 

[DCTEN]

Hi

So should i set DN1 to the same or DNS2? will this mean that it will stay connected for longer than five mins at a time?

Ta.

 

[Haggistech]

it could be dropping out because it cant find the address of websites etc

just in DNS1

we will try this if you still have problems we can look deeper into it

Well Haggistech you seem to have done the trick with the DNS thing as it's broken the 5 minute and still connected record! Thanks very much!
It's a shame really as it worked perfectly well before the update!

I'll see how things go with it today.

Cheer for the help!

 

[Haggistech]

No problem at all

 

[DCTEN]

Well it was good while it lasted!!! Still getting the drop outs, still saying "authenticating..." still very annoying! I've had it with this phone. Did the SGS1or2 have the same issues!!?

Not to my knowledge.

Why don't you root and install a LeeDroid or CM7 etc?

 

[Haggistech]

I reckon if its still doing it and on different phones then its your router


have you tried using the phone on annother wireless network and see if it does the same thing

To get back to the original post, the only UK carrier who looks to do the DHD any more is T-Mobile. Carphone warehouse also appear to still stock them, but they're unbranded.

Doesn't look like you can get accessories for them either: Home - HTC Accessory Store - United Kingdom

Don't see the DHD listed.

my country phone provider "singtel" stop selling it since july

It is:
HTC Desire HD Accessories - HTC Accessory Store - United Kingdom

 

[LilacBleeds]

this is really odd, because I cant use my wifi after the update and it is very good, it might be the route or the people you have your broadband with and that....

Vodafone still have this phone and I know they will drop it soon for the new ones to come into there network, the only thing I would like is the updates for most things as I still have like 16 months left on my contract and I am sticking with this phone

Why should i have to do all that! the wi-fi connected perfectly up until this so called upgrade! still dropping out every few mins even with a static ip!

I appreciate what you're saying, but it is a solution to the problem.

Now that Orange are admitting they have dropped me, can I get them to mend my broken glasses under their insurance?
