Hello all,
The xda2s (blue angel) is a quad band phone, i have unlocked it to all networks but i would like to know how to enable it to use the 3 network from the uk??
i have xda2s, rom 1.40.00 wwe
rom date 03/10/05
radio 1.12.00
protocol 1337.42
ext rom ______
Thanks in advance
Its impossible really.
3UK have decided to opt for a new format of sim called a USIM. These will only work in 3G devices such as the universal. Non-3G phones cannot read the sim and say Sim error or similar.
Only the very first 3 SIMs worked in 2.5G phones, but 3 CAN tell if you are doing this and will kill your sim and send you a new usim.
More info on 3G - www.3g.co.uk
ok i have been using 3G sim for few months. it able to send and receive MMS from my Motorola A780 and Sony Ericsson w800i if i edit the MMS setting. However, it does not work for XDA mini and XDAIIs. Normal phone call in and out and GPRS browsing is fine. But MMS cannot send and receive ..... anyone can ?
Avoid the 3 network at all costs!!!
I was with them for 1 week and was left with permanent scarring for life.
AVOID!!!

Nuubie now very lost after 14 hours.
I have been trying to get my XDA Exec to work with a BT sim (UK). It does not appera that the unit is locked because it does allow me to select the following networks..
VF-UK
O2-UK
T-MOBILE-UK
23420 ?????
Orange
I have tried all the unlock proceedures I can find and various different ROM's to no avail.
When I set the phone to automatic it logs on to UMTS-UK.
Can anyone help me....or is it not possible.
I read that the XDA is not locked, so am I doing something wrong?
I have also tried this
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Uni_Simlock_by_Buzz_and_team
But am unsure of how to do 9 and 15......can any one help with this
The xda Exec is DEFINITELY not locked to any network. It could be either the phone is barred, or the SIM no longer works (BT SIM? I've never seen one of those since I came to the UK 6 years ago; surely BT Cellnet is now O2...)
Thanks Richardlai,
The BT sim works fine in other phones. With the BT sim in it automatically registers to a network called UMTS VF-UK that works fine but the coverage is pants.
What is this and who is it?
Could it be that there is a setting in the XDA somewhere?
Has anyone got an XDA working with a BT sim?
If the phone is barred, how can this be changed?
Can any other XDA Exec user tell me what networks are listed.
go to start>phone
click on menu>options>network (tab)>change network selection to manual. This brings up a list, my list is
@ VF-UK
@ O2-UK
@ T-Mobile UK
@23420
@ Orange
to stop any changes happening just click cancel.
Thanks

That's weird... "UMTS VF-UK" is Vodafone's 3G network. How old is your SIM card? I suggest to contact BT (I'm assuming you're referring to British Telecom) about this problem, and they might be able to refer you to the right people from O2 (used to be BT Cellnet).
If you're phone is able to connect to a network, then it is not barred so don't worry (a barred phone cannot be used again in the same country as its function is to disallow the thief using the stolen phone; this process cannot be reversed, as far as I know).
BT mobile piggybacks on the Vodaphone network, so you are connected to the correct network. Perhaps the UMTS signal is too weak. Try disableing UMTS and see if everything is okay just using GSM.
Oh... I didn't know that BT has their own mobile phone service now...

I don't know anyone who uses it. But I remember the fuss when a year or so after selling off Cellnet/O2 it moved back into the mobile business. Presumibly as soon as it legally could (http://www.btmobile.bt.com). Like Virgin it's a virtual network.
Thanks, So it looks like I'm looking in the wrong area. The problem is when I ring BT they tell me that they don't support that phone.
When I set the phone to GSM only, it logs onto VF-UK the problem with this is the signal strength is very low, typically I can't get past 1 bar when I copmare that against a normal phone on VF that would have 5 bars. Could it be a fault with the phone or is the XDA a bit like this.

Why don't you give us the specifications of your phone, especially the radio stack verison and ROM version?
rom version 1.30.107 WWE
rom date 04/11/06
Radio version 1.09.00
Protocol Version 42.42.P8
Extrom version 1.30.162 WWE
I hope this is the right information. Does this tell you anything?
Well it does seem to be the latest O2 ROM...
I have heard of some rare cases where the Universal's radio reception is very low, and apparently it was to do with a loose connection of the antenna to the circuit board. You'll have to do a search on it I'm afraid.
I have the O2 XDA Exec and I run the BT SIM in it with no problems.
My Rom version is 1.30.107 WWE
My Radio version is 1.09.00
Ext Rom version 1.30.162 WWE
BT Sims use the Vodafone network.
Keep well

Hello :
When im conected with HSPDA i cant do or recive calls.
Im using radio 1.38.00.10
Help please.

Flash back to your stock WM 5.0 rom provided by your carrier, it's in the Wiki.
Its the same.
Do you mean UMTS/3G? HSDPA should only be active momentarily and only while downloading data.

where do you live and who is your carrier provider?
in my countery there is same problem but it's a carrier problem.
if your carrier sale this device you can asked them
Which Mobile network in which country.
Maybe we should make a list in the wiki of networks which are having problems with calls when in HSDPA mode?
Tmn Portugal.
I have the same problem with Movistar in Spain. No problem with calls over the 3G/UMTS connection though. But as was previously said the HSPDA is only used when transfering data so this doesn´t effect me too much. However this can be problem when you are using skype or push mail which transfers data on a regular basis. I´ve tried other Radios but the same problem and Movistar can only suggest disconnecting before making a call eek: ), which is helpful!
same here... dutty v2... i use push email via live mail... and get droped calls... or people not riching me.... 1.40 radio... ORANGE RO
Same in Sweden
I do have 3 in Sweden and have exactly the same problems here
i get this too. vodafone UK on black 3. ended up turning HSPDA off
I'm on "3" in Denmark and have the same problem.
It should be noted that Nokia phones can do HSPDA and receive calls, so while I'm sure it's carrier related, it must be a mixture of the carrier and the Hermes...
I have switched HSPDA off but tries it every time I flash a new ROM or new radio. Has never worked since WM5 and am now on newest LVSW ROM with same result...

we have a cellular operator here in israel that is currently busy fixing it...
contact your network operator.
i have been using LVSW's ROM & sleuth version and when connected to the PC using the device's internet sharing apps with HSDPA connection, still I am able to receive & make calls.. no problem ..also when the device itself is connected to the internet (with HSDPA mode on).. no problem pertaining calls..
I am in Malaysia & on the celcom network..

Hi all
I experienced some problems since I upgraded to WM 6 (official Tytn Europe Version)
If there is a active Datatransfer in HSDPA Mode, i cannot make or receive a phone call. I already tried several Radio Versions (1.43/1.48/1.50), but no success. When I disable HSDPA, it works fine.
Does anybody has same issues with HSDPA?
Thanks
Marc
Vodafone issue
Hi - are you using a vodafone network? I know that there are issues on the network that are preventing some operators from supporting voice and data at teh same time over HSDPA....
The operators I know about are planning network upgrades or patches to solve the issues (which are not just limited to Windows Mobile devices apparently)
I can make calls -> versions below I don't think this is just a phone issue though. I think some operators can't do it.
I have the same problem as you have.
It is because of the infrastructure of my provider KPN that I have this problem. When I disable HSDPA then all works fine. So no I only use HSDPA when I want to browse on the Internet.
****ty but now I know why.........
Hi all
Thanks for the confirmation.
I also disabled HSDPA for now.
Now I will the push the guys in the network department to fix this issue......
Just got the answer from the tech guys. Operators with Ericsson UMTS/HSDPA Network Equipment are affected by this. The Operator has to rollout a software update to fix this issue.
Cheers
Marc
I am on AT&T and have never been able to do data and voice at hte same time.
I'm on At-T in Nyc and my HSDPA works just fine calls while on data and vice versa
I'm in South Florida and I'm constantly using Internet Sharing in HDSPA mode while talking on my Jawbone... (takes "jawbone of an ass" to a whole new level, ehehehe!)

OK, now THAT is the funniest thing I've read here! Thanks for the laugh!
I saw the jawbone at the ATT/Cingy store and wondered if I should splurge on it since I already have an H500 and an H700 from Motorola. My problem is I ride bike a lot and the wind noise makes it impossible to have a conversation with an H500. It is possible but a little difficult to talk while riding using the H700. I was wondering if you had any experience with the Jawbone under similar conditions?
Regards,
George
OOPs - That was meant to be PM, sorry folks!
The Hermes is able to do both. Phone calls and data (HSDPA\GPRS\EDGE) at the same time. Your data speed does take a hit due to bandwith.
However if you cannot is because is 99.999% the network NOT the phone. I had a Hermes long before the network here in Canada supported HSDPA. So I could only do one at the time. At the beginning of this year they finally updated it and I have been doing both at the same time with wild abandon no problem.
Check with your provider.
@gmgonzal - the Jawbone will probably be the best you can find for your enviroment. I only use it in my Toyota when driving. People can't tell that I'm on a cell phone. I had a NxZen which I liked for a while but this is better, IMO.
@agovinoveritas - indded, that's the biggest reason I upgraded to the 8525... no more missed calls when I'm using the internet (or receiving an email at the same time..)
It's the network. All operators that use Ericsson 3G equipment suffer from a bug in the Ericsson kit that prevents simultaneous data/voice. All Nokia equipment works fine. T-Mobile in the NL use Nokia and have no issues. KPN and Vodafone NL use Ericsson and have this issue. KPN are currently upgrading their Ericsson equipment to correct this issue (ETA end 2007). I do not know about Vodafone NL. It is safe to assume that in other countries these providers use the same kit so you should be fine with TMO, regardless of where you are.
Does this issue include that my telephoneconversation can be disconnected?
I had this problem with the WWE WM5 HTC rom using the Vodafone NL network. Now I have uograded to the Dopod WM6 ANZ version it's all fine...
hi everyone..
can someone help?
i have a new sim card from a german provider (moobicent), who offer HSDPA flatrate using vodafone's network.
i insert the sim card in a normal nokia mobile phone, enter my PIN and the phone (as to be expected), logs into the vodafone network.
i insert the SIM into my HTC hermes (of course it's unlocked - it's also running the ROM TNT Pro 2), when i put in the PIN, the phone looks for network and after approx 300 seconds, i get the PIN screen again.
can anybody tell me why my Hermes won't logon to the network? (i have used all sorts of SIMS from various providers, never with any problems).
HELP!
thanks & regards.
hey guys, newbie here
i went throught the forums but didnt really find an answer to my problem with the TP2
my TP2 looses connectivity to the network pretty often. even though it shows a good connection to the network and i have good signals, i cant make calls or send sms until i switch to Airplane mode and then back to Phone mode. i read on the board that this problem might be because of the phone trying switch between 3G and GSM, so as they suggested i made the default network band as GSM and im still getting the same problem. plus from the past few days, i have pretty much stopped recieving international sms, which can get pretty fustrating if your girl is in another country
also i been looking for a way to reset the network settings
just for info, i am still running the with the original WM6.1 that came with it. th only updates have been for the radio version (gps thing) and sms hotfix
ROM : 1.19.415.1 (51489) WWE
Radio: 2.46.25.30
the network im on is Etisalat (3G network)
any help would be really appreciated
anyone
