Hi there, I currently am stuck to using the TMO UK 1.20 rom due to the fact the the WM5 Blackberry Connect client does not work on AKU2, but I noticed that TMO have taken out WCDMA in the drop down box in the phone options. The only things one can choose now are AUTO and GSM.
Any clues on how to get WCDMA(UMTS) back? Is there a registry setting that could be put in?

I have a Orange SIM card which I got in Israel, I am now in Canada and that SIM works fine on my friends Nokia 6600, but when I try to use it with my XDA IIs I can't find any networks or anything. I am guessing its the GSM frequecy although the phone supports all of them. Does anyone have any idea what I need to do to get the SIM to work here? Does anyone know how to manually select a GSM frequency?
XDA IIs
ROM Version: 1.40.00 WWE
Radio Version: 1.15.00
Protocol Version: 1337.45
Hello psytech,
I believe you're roaming. Sometimes, you really cannot just plug your sim card then voila its working. If you are roaming, most of the time you really have to manually select the network.
anyway, i'm currently using windows mobile 2005, and no longer using windows mobile 2003 SE. i hope i could still help you or atleast you can see the pattern on how to do it.
here what you do:
1. click on the signal strength icon (the icon located on the upper right most portion of your screen just beside the speaker icon)
2. a dialogue box will appear with a clickable 'settings' button (located on lower left part of the dialogue box.), click the 'settings'
3. you will then see 3 tabs on the bottom part of the screen, 'phone', 'services', 'network'. click on 'network'.
4. you should find something like 'find network' button there, then just but before you click on it, choose 'manual' for network selection.
the rest is self explanatory, i hope i was able to help you. cheers!
You say your orange sim works fine on your friends nokia but does not work in your IIs.
Is it possible that your IIS device is sim locked as in will only work on the O2 network in the country you got it from.
If so unlock it via wiki (link in sig)
not it
I forgot to mention that the SIM worked fine in Isreal, my original SIM is orange (I do have an account with) I just can't get support cause I didn't buy the phone from them (capitalists).
About the network search. Thats what I've been doing for the last couple of days but I can not find ANY networks at all. which is what leads me to believe that its a GSM frequency problem.
What happens if you put your friends sim in your phone
GSM in Canada is generally 1900 http://www.gsmworld.com/roaming/gsminfo/cou_ca.shtml
doesn't work either
My friend's SIM doesn't work on my phone either. If canada is 1900, how can I make sure that my phone is currently using 1900. (I know it supports it, but how do I actually see that its actually scanning with it?)
What happens if you go to Settings->Phone->Network and then change Network Selection to Manual.
You should then get a list of networks. This will list all networks even if you cannot connect to them.
[edit] This has already be suggested earlier in the thread
If you do get some networks then the only reason that I can think of that you are not connecting is that under Prefered Networks you have a network selected that your carrier does not have a roaming agreement with.
Check your provider's website to see who they have agreements with.
no networks
My provider (Orange) has agreements with Rodgers, but my problem is that I am not listing ANY networks, I tried manual and even added the Rodgers network to my favorite networks, but when I try to search for networks I can't find any, I just get a blank window. This is very odd to me and I've never heard of anyone with that problem.
Like I've mentioned before, I updated my windows to TuMa 1.4 and my radio to 1.1.15. If there's anything else I need to do or anything I may not have done when I updated my network please tell me.
btw when I installed that TuMa windows I change my ID thingy to Tmobile.
Problem solved
Attenttion everyone:
It has come to my attention that there is a problem in the Band Selection CAB when it comes to certian cellular providers.
The problem so far appears on a Cellular One network that only supports 850Mhz. When the North American Option is choosen in the Band tab, the phone can not find a network to register on. I'm not quite sure why this happens yet, but there is a solution to fix.
http://relaysgoldens.com/sx66/ext_roms/BandSelect-fix.CAB
By installing this CAB, it provides a fourth option on the band tab, "Reset Value to Zero".
By selecting this option, the phone will be reset to it's default state, and will work normally.
I've trapped this as a bug in the 1.40.124 extrom and will be working to figure this out.
Note: the band selection setting is persistant, and will not be reset even if you downgrade the ROMs on the phone. If you are experiencing this problem, the ONLY way to reset the value is to use the CAB above.
-Chris
P.S. I've also updated the 1.40.124 RAR file on the website to include the updated bandselect CAB.

I found that at http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=53121 and it worked.
All:
I just got a Cingular 8525 and immediately upgraded it to WM6 (it had WM5 on it for about an hour). I am in a 3g covered area but I do not think I am getting a 3g connection on the phone. I have the big upper case U in a box, and then I have the signal indicator with an E over it. This makes me believe that I am connected to Cingular's edge network. Also, if I am on the phone and I try to run a sync with activesync the phone tells me that I have a voice call in progress. Any suggestions? AT&T support was clueless.

The U indicator is UMTS - that is 3G. However, most of the newer ROMs replace it with a 3G icon. What ROM did you use? Anyway, also, you may try the reg tweak to enable the BAND tab in the Settings > Phone menu. You can find that tweak in the wiki.

I have the same thing with my rogers phone, what I'm guessing is the phone is designed to pick whatever signal is strongest, (which is usually Edge) and not often-rescan for UTMS/3G.
If you google and download Band Switcher, you can force UTMS/3G at your leisure.
I wasnt aware the USA had 3G yet? I was always told that Edge was the best they had out there from a few mobile operators in the UK.
What Radio stack are you using?
Cingular, now known as "The New AT&T (AT&T)" has 3G up and running in some of it's markets.
No one seems to be answering this question.

We have quite a bit of UMTS and HSDPA coverage here in Massachusetts on Cingular/AT&T.
Hi there,
since the last two ROM/Radio upgrades my trion fails to connect to GSM/GPRS. The 3G/UMTS/HSDPA connection works fine, both for voice and internet. When I try to switch to GSM only or if no 3G is available the device fails to connect. When I use the same SIM in another trion (with the original ROM) everything works fine (GSM & 3G).
This behaviour persists since I upgraded the Radio to 1.54.30.10 and Schaps 4.01, before that I had 1.41 and Schaps 3.3 working fine. Now I downgraded the Radio to 1.47.30.10 and installed Pays ROM (PaysGER215Full.rar). Same result, no GSM connection.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
sroeder
Hello.
Check Under , Settings , Phone, Band That
"GSM/UTMS Band" if that Say " AUTO " And not
UTMS (2100+800) .
If that don't help, than i'm clueless.
And yes, If you don't have the "band page" use Schaps Advanced Configuration tool to Enable the "Band page".
/Mika
The settings were already on AUTO on all fields.
I actually got today a substitute phone after talking to the service staff. The phone simply would not connect to gprs/gsm anymore, even not after installing the original operators ROM. They said it might be a hardware issue.
I have the same problem.. I'm using HTC Hermes and suddenly I've lost GSM connection, only 3G available.. If I set GSM only there is an alert "No service". Is there any solution? I did HR - still nothing..
Anyone know how to solve this one?
For a jasjam I-mate with withdows 6,
Imate configurator is running, there is three coverage,
I installed the 'CWW Enterprises AUS Operator Con'
Which gives the point access name etc as far as I can tell.
I see the 3G pop up then is replaced by E.
I end up paying roaming fees. ????????????
Also trying to track down the remove telstra programs for dopod.
???????????????????????????????????????????????

can you advise where you are roaming from?? also are you not able to disable other network? select telstra only as default? can't recall haven't really roamed since last year.
To get rid of the Telstra apps that are installed when you hard reset you need to soft reset before it automatically installs (this is the extended rom). If you wanted to change to a different cooked os then it wouldn't matter.
Absolutely LOATHE the telstra proxy. Makes life difficult.
Cheers...
had similar problems with a Telstra Imate on the 3 network. Upgraded to the 3 WM6 rom from
here
I have an unlocked HD2 with an o2 sim. When I try to change GPRS connection settings I cannot select any network other than the original T-Mobile. The auto option is disabled. I'm not fussed about the T-Mobile splash screen but I do need to be able to connect to the o2 network (GRPS). Phone / text is fine. Any suggestions? I would like to avoid flashing the rom if poss. Roger
I have a HD2 locked to T-Mobile, all of the internet settings are obviously pre-configured for that network.
I'm not sure how to change them but I'm pretty certain you can get O2 to send you the GPRS the settings directly to the handset as long as they have the device or they may not support it.
T-Mobile
Unfortunately that isn't possible (HTC & o2 advised). Also there is no option on the connectivity wizard to update the list of telephone providers (that surprised HTC!). Presumably there is a regkey missing / overidden. Any ideas out there?
Rog
i got the same problem. theres no alternative to write a new rom to your hd2.
after that i could easily download the o2 settings...
theres a thread somewhere here to show you how its done
good luck.
