I had a varioII - I have managed to get hold of a new o2 orbit from work. I want to use it with my T-Mobile sim.
I have put all of the gprs settings in, etc and the phone works fine.
It still has all of the o2 branding - i dont mind this but can anyone advise if this will effect the performace of the phone if iam using t-mobile?
no, it will work fine. I'm doing the same. T-mobile sim in O2 unit.
So are you using a web n walk £7.50 or £12.50 plan on it then?
I am thinking of doing the same, but someone said T-Mobile their own browser to surf with.
Do you just put the T-Mobile GPRS settings into Orbit and the sim?
That's what I've done; the settings can be found from the online 'manual' for the MDA Compact III:

I'm on O2 Orbit with T-Mobile Flext 20 & Web & Walk
All works great, and browsing uses the normal internet explorer
The settings I got from:

The only thing I wish the Orbit did was 3G - the browsing on W & W with a 3G enabled phone is much faster.

Hi,
I got my O2 Orbit a day before leaving the UK for Qatar so didn't get a chance to suss this out before I left.
I'm still running on my O2 sim etc. When I arrived the GPRS doesn't register and the GPRS/internet connections etc all keep asking for a modem setup.
Qtel is the operator here but talking to them about roaming internet/gprs connectivity with an xda is fruitless.
I can't get much help out of O2 either....There's got to be a way, there has to be a way.....
Can anybody help at all? Please?
try this
After two or three trips away with o2 device and lots of calls back to the uk my solution was to go through all available networks one at a time and force the device to try data connections I still need to do this five years on even after telling o2 how to connect
Hi, does anyone know of any software that will allow me to use a '3' network sim in my O2 Orbit?
Is this possible?
No not possible, you need a 3g phone.
3G SIM in Orbit
I am using an o2 3g SIM in my Orbit. It functions as a standard SIM only of course since the Orbit is not a 3G phone.
Yes but the question is a reference to the network provider '3' although they have a fall-back system where you use 2.5G I believe.
hi, i have a T-mobile MDA Compact III (UK), and i recently took it apart to replace the screen (i broke it). It is all back together now, and working as usual, but i noticed a icon next to GPRS/Signal etc, which after doing some research, is the triangle that shows the phone is roaming for Wifi.... strange. I also noticed this morning that a program i have on my phone called ShoZu (sort of a RSS feed program) was saying it couldn't download the data, as the phone was Roaming, and this could mean there are charges for downloading....
Any idea why its now started Roaming??!! i dont seem to be able to do anything with the roaming... all i did was take the phone apart, change the screen (whole unit) and put it back together!
Cheers,
Ths is a T-Mobile ****-up when the ran an stk update a while back, it affects the Artemis devices and makes them display the roaming icon (GPRS roaming has nothing to do with WiFi) - it is just an icon on my C-III, but on my HTC P3300 fitted with a T-Mobile card it is a real PITA as it keeps popping up a warning about roaming and MMS disabled.
If you want WiFi on the Artemis go and buy the HTC or XDA Orbit the T-Mobile UK version has not got the hardware fitted - Mike
I would like to change network provider from O2-Vodafone but still use my Orbit. Will this work and how would I stop it automatically installing the o2 GPRS settins?
Thanks
hi, i purchased a O2 XDA orbit about 3 weeks ago and the person i purchased it from said it was locked to O2. When i recieved the phone it worked straight away with the vodafone sim card. after reading a few threads it seems as tho the O2 XDA orbit's are unlocked already?
i'm not sure how to stop the O2 settings from starting but im sure i seen somewhere that if you soft reset by pressing the little button on the side with a pin as soon as the o2 settings start that should bypass it??
i cid unlocked mine and flashed the Touch 3 vanilla rom and its running sweet with pocketPBplus 4.0.
it automatically setup the settings for vodafone and i can send and recieve mms and also browse online thru the vodafone gprs
hope this helps as its my first post!

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?

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.
