Hi firstly id like to appolagise for my lack of knowledge im pritty new here.
basically my question is this, i have an xda exec which i would like to be able to use my vodaphone sim in from time to time to access the streaming tv from the vodaphone live site (as the screen is much smaller on my vodapnone phone) but i still want to use it with my o2 sim the rest of the time.
Any advise would be much apreciated but please bear in mind i am new so try not to blow my mind up
Thanks in advance.
GO for it!
As long as your vodafone sim is a USIM you'll have no issues! My Vodafone sim works fine in the XDA EXEC I recently purchased, as does my o2 PAYG sim!
Ra bless o2 for not Simlocking!
A problem has occrued, the sim works fine for calls but wont seem to connect to the net for me to access vodaphone live etc - im currently using the settings from this site - http://www.vodafone.co.nz/vlive/vlive_specifications.jsp however im not quiet sure that im not missing anything, any info or advise would be greatly apreciated and the cab file that sets up the vodaphone settings for the universal would be even better if anyone has it .....

Hi Guys,
I just bought an XDA executive on ebay from the UK.
The seller said it was unblocked and hould work with any sim, but after recieving the unit and turning the unit on i cant get past the o2 screen and none of the buttons on the phone respond to once clicked upon.
Please advise?
Thanks!
Hi,
I think that you have to upgrade your EXEC with O2 shiped Rom that you can find it on the ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com login using xda user and pass xda and under folder Universal, i am sure that you won't have problems olso sure that the phone is unlocked couse o2 is giving it sim lock free phones
Kind regards

Then, For how to install it, there are many threads on this. I don't remember which one I used but I did and it worked fine.
Good luck,
Patrick.
Heya folks,
I wasn't too sure what to even look for in a search for this one.
I'm moving to the US, I have an Orange M2000. I've been offered a work-cellphone account, but I have to pay for the cellphone myself.
As I already have the M2000, I'd like to use it on Cingular for "Goodlink" services.
Apart from unlocking the network-lock to take the Cingular sim, is there anything else I need to do to prepare the phone? I'd rather not tamper with Rom's etc unless I have to.
thanks again

Hello, i was in the same situation last year with my XDA IIs. Moved from London. I have been using it on T-Mob US with no problems at all with regards to call reception, gprs, or sending and receiving sms. Only thing you may want to do is upgrade your radio rom to 1.15, seems to enhance reception a bit. Cheers.
Head over to the SX66 Standardization Project website & grab an extended ROM. Extended ROMs contain operator customization files -- grab them from the extended ROM & install them on your BA.

Hi there, I live in California and bought an Orancge SPV M2000 off Ebay from the UK, have unlocked it and it works well with my T-mobile simcard. But since it came loaded with the original Orange ROMS...I have had no luck trying to configure the MMS/GPRS settings on it. Tried every configuration found here on this site as well as other google sites, and even called Tmobile customer care rep for a walk-through. They didn't tell me anything new from what I've already found here, however, no joy sending an MMS at all
I have considered upgrading my extROM from Xelencins Tmobile for WIZARD ROM just to get the Customization settings. But I'd rather not do that since I am no pro at upgrading and don't wanna screw up my device if I can help it.
Can you tell me how you configured your MMS?GPRS settings to seamlessly work ? Mine just says "sending" forever and then times out and never sends it in the end
Please, any tips will do, thanks in advance...

Hallo, I've installed the rom, that is very fantastic, the best I've tried. I only have a problem: my dualsim, that works perfect on wm5, does'nt works with this rom. Someone can help me?
Hi,
seems as if I am the only person using a dual sim and having fun with it ! What is your problem exactly? The problem that I had is that when I switched from one card to the other the provider wouldn't change in the dialing pad or any other software although it changed. In WM6 you need at least version 5.2.1680 to have that feature working. I use an analog card, that might be the reason it's working. I found many threads about that topic today in the accessories forum and there seems to be a guy having a digital dual sim adapter and having problems with it.
Hi!
Sorry for my english, I am Italian! Some weeks ago I read many threads searching a dualsim that works on Artemis, and I buyed the analog one, that switches operators turning on-off fly mode in the phone. This works very well with WM5, but in WM6 when I switch fly mode, I have always the first operator (vodafone) and not the second (tim). I've set the network using "network wizard" and I think this may depend from this...
What do you think about?
I have Vodafone and T-Mobile and I used to switch from one card to the other but I thought it didn't.
If your card is not broken or has not enough contact there is an easy way to find out if you sucessfully switched your cards. Switch cards, then go to phone settings and check what your voicemail number is. This is the way how I used to find out which card I was using. Do you know what I'm talking about?
Tried so you do, but nothing to do. Now, I also have a digital dualsim and I'm going to try with that.
Hi,
My Artemis is got a strange problem
Its from O2 - Orbit called...
When I'm inserting Orange, Vodafone sim cards I get the error - Sim invalid - fine.. that's means is locked
With O2 is searching for a network but is searching for ever...can't find anything.. when I'm going in Network settings and select manual is saying something about Cannot read setting from network...
With Virgin/Tmobile sim card is finding OK the network and connecting to it but cannot make any phone calls or receive.....
Has anyone had a similar problem? I have tried to send it back to O2 but said they will send me send me a new one... they sent it but I never got it... it got lost in post etc... they didn't ask me to send the faulty one first... I contacted them a lot of times but they don't want to send me another one so I'm stuck with this faulty one.. I have reinstalled windows mobile 5 then upgraded to 6 but I have the same problem...
Did you try out the simcard in another device/phone? If it still fails then just ask for a new one.
yes I tried that sim card and works fine in another phone
also I tried lots of simcards in the xda but none works
I do have somewhat a similar problem. I am using an O2 SIM card on the orbit. A number of times the phone keeps looking for the network. Initially I used to wonder whethe rthe signal is weak - but if I soft reset it (and sometimes takes a couple of times), it finds the network (all bars in the signal) and works OK.
I have changed roms and it hasnt helped.
Since both of you are using the O2 Orbit I guess it must be something with the device. Any chance of finding out when your devices were manufactured?
i have the same problem with htc p3300 - have got signal with some of my sims, but can't make a call - what coul this be? I have 2 devices with these faults!!!
Hi,
I have exactly the same problem on my XDA orbit. O2 and orange sims, just keeps searching for a network with vodafone and t-mobile getting a signal but not allowing calls.
I thought that the phone was locked so I used the IMEI-check web site to download the unlock codes etc. This appeared to run normally, but made no difference to the operation of the phone.
I've done hard and soft re-sets but these make no difference either. The device has rom 3.4.206.2WWE (dated 4/18/07) installed on it and I would need some advice on what to change it to and how to change it.
Thanks for any help that anyone can come up with.
Blocked?
Try updating\upgrading radio ROM. If that does not work then I can only think that the phones have been blocked\barred by the network provider. Try calling them and asking them.
I have been informed that if your orbit is still on contract then it is still under warranty even if it is 2+ years old.
Hi,
I bought an O2 orbit from Ebay which has the 02 official WM6 rom installed.
But it can't can't Make or receive calls.
But when I put my Virgin SIM, the Signal strength bar is in full, The network seems to be seletced as T-Mobile UK.
But can't dial out...no Dial tone
When I try to ring my Mobile, the voice message says 'Can't connect to this number at the moment'
Please HELP
I know this may not help MUCH but the fact that your mobile is saying T-Mobile instead of Virgin is normal - Virgin pay to use T-Mobile's infratructure as far as I know so it is normal to see it say T-Mobile.
Have you tried other SIM cards? Get a free O2 sim card and try calling it, or use a friends SIM, etc.
Also, have you tried flashing the Radio ROM? I don't know if it has changed over time or if there are any updates but try flashing a new one if you can find one.
Also, someone on this forum once managed to get ahold of the ROM O2 use to unbrick XDA ORBIT devices - the repair guy left his MicroSD card in the device and the ROM used to unbrick devices was on it - it had Windows Mobile 5 on it and was the original version. See if you can get ahold of that ROM and flash it. Or just try and flash the WM6 ROM from O2 again.
