Hi
I've recently got my new Xda orbit unlocked from O2 network.
The problem I am facing now just after getting unlocked, it sometimes fail to recognize any network giving out error message as 'Invalid or insert simcard'.
It works fine most of the time but becomes very weird when it becomes mad explained above :-(
Anyone from this great forum can help me out please ! I love my Xda ..
Many thanks

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,

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 .....
Hello
I bought XDA Orbit on Ebay and now I'm having a little problem with this pda. It's trying to register to network(o2 p&g), when it's finally connected...after few minutes connection is lost(no sevice). I was trying to connect it manual without any result. I can not call or send messages. I have no idea what is going on. What can I do to change the situation? Is there any possibility that phone is locked? Sorry for my english
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've got an O2 XDA Exec for which i found an upgrade at the O2's web, though it was highly recommended that don't remove you xda while runnig upgrade and don;t run any other application which i did but Error 101 (device not connected) came in.
no my XDA don;t work, just stuck on the bootloader screen showing usb when i connect to my windows vista.but can't make any solution i don;t know what to do and looking for step by step help so that i can get my XDA back.
i would be really thankful if anybody help me here.
Been there a few times myself. It's relatively easy to fix
