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,
thanks to buzzdev's great tool (you are the greatest!) my MDA Pro German now accepts all SIM cards. However, with every SIM card I tried (Eplus/BASE, o2 with UMTS enabled) I never get access to UMTS, even in the center of my town. With the T-Mobile SIM however, UMTS works immediately. Has anybody else experienced this problem? I also tried to hard reset and skip the customization.
Greetings from Bonn, Germany
Andreas
i also have bought a german mda pro and unlocked it. i am using it in austria and umts works correctly.
Re: MDA Pro German unlocked; UMTS still only works with T-Mo

Maybe you should check if the other providers:
- supports UMTS
- your connection settings are right
- you need a special account to use UMTS
- UMTS is available in your area with that provider
If T-Mobile enabes UMTS for you doesn't mean all providers do.

Yes, I ordered the UMTS option which caused all my SIM-Cards to be replaced by USIMs. The town I live in is medium-sized (300,000 inhabitants), and I checked about eight places - no success. (Typically, UMTS is available in every German town which has about 50,000 inhabitants or more)
What happenes is quite weird: When I switch the phone on, enter my PIN and connect to the network, the UMTS Symbol ("U") appears for about one or two seconds. Then it disappears, the connection gets lost, and the phone reconnects by GSM. It seems that the phone (or the provider?) throws me out just after a successfull UMTS connect.
I also verified that the GPRS/3G connection is set up correctly (APN surfo2, no username and password).
Greetings,
Andreas
you probably already have checked the radio band settings, but its worth a try. have you enabled umts band in telefon - einstellungen?

Yes, UMTS is not disabled; I also tried "WCDMA only", but then no connection can be established.
hmmm, have you tried a hardreset and/or a new/different rom?

Yes, I thought that maybe there was some stupid locking in the T-Mobile GER ROM, so I used the latest Qtek German ROM, I also tried the O2 XDA Exec Launch ROM (UK), but nothing changed.

Are you sure there should be no username/password ? http://www.taniwha.org.uk/gprs.html suggests that it should be guest/guest.

Yes, the website you mentioned is a bit outdated. The official o2 Website (Germany) http://www.o2online.de/o2/kunden/technikundeinst/umts/tools/manuell/index.html states that username/password are "nicht notwendig" (=not necessary).
Ah well, I thought it was worth a mention.
Good luck
i guess the question for another radio rom is obsolete.
so i think your last solution is to get a contract with tmobile j/k
im sorry, i think i wont be able to help you....

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?

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 all,
I haven't seen anyone mention one of the more hyped selling points of the TP2 - the Conference Call feature. Does it work? And more importantly, does it work on your network?
The reason I ask is I am on T-Mobile UK with my Kaiser (and my TP2 when it arrives tomorrow) and I cannot conference two calls together - when I press the conference button, it says "The operation failed". A little research on Google seems to suggest that T-Mo UK are probably the only operator globally who have this functionality disabled.
Will this mean that if the TP2 is ever released through T-Mo retail that it will have this function disabled? Is that why it has been delayed - they are upgrading their network to cope with conference calling?
I'd be interested to know, especially if anyone has already got one on T-Mo UK.
Cheers
Im not sure about T-Mo
However, the option you need is Call Waiting & Call Conferancing; this option usually need to be activated with your telco under VAS (Value Added Service); some may charge to have this function activated
the best you call T Mobile and ask specifically about this function
As I feared, T-Mobile UK don't support conference calling so that feature doesn't work. I phoned CS yesterday to ask, and all I got was "it may be supported in the future".
Actually I found my TyTn II did this yesterday. I put a call on hold and saw an exciting 'conference button' in the Opal dialer. Pushed it and I got some message about not being supported.
I'm on Orange.
UK o2 = No no no.
Pretty pointless feature when the network doesn't support it, I don' think many uk networks do, they have their own conference facitlity. (232 on o2 I think)
T-mobile (ben) Netherlands: Yes, totally works. did it with my old hermes 2 months ago
Vodafone in the Netherlands supports the conference call facility.
A question I have in relation to this subject: does anyone know whether it is possible to have incoming phone calls join in a conference call? Example: I have a call with A on the TP2 and B calls me on the TP2 during that call with A. Can I organize that B will join the same call? If so, how? Is there any maximum of calls that one can have in such a conference call?
Cheers, dela
Telus in Canada does NOT support the feature. BOOOO!
It works on Vodafone Portugal
Vodafone in NZ supports this but only for account customers and by default it's turned off but can be turned on request for free of cost.

Yes, you can pick up the incoming phone call and join in a conference call you started (works well with Orange & unbranded TP2).

Your device already has Conference Call capability.
Using Conference Call is a network dependent feature. So, based on what your operator allows you (your phone subscription/plan) - you will be able to use it or not.
BTW, Conf call works great on Orange ...
Hope it helps.
Movistar in Mexico supports it, even on Prepaid, and for free (you just have to pay for both calls)
All Israeli operators (Orange, Cellcom & Pelefone) supports this feature
Mine worked twice on att then stopped, Any ideas why? I used it right when I got the phone then about 2 1/2 weeks ago and it worked great, now when I try I get two people on hold and the other call doesnt come through, and when I try to take the two peopl off hold is says it cant take the call off hold. Do you guys think this is a carrier issue like att not wanting me to use it or a phone/hardware issue?
Works with Vodafone UK
The Conference feature (aka Multiparty) requires a flag in your number's profile in HLR called "MPTY" activated. without that activated, you cannot make a conference call. contact your operator for this.

Actually my operator also have this service, but it wasn't activated in my number. Now it is... but it seems that the other numbers that you are making the conference also need to have this service activated, otherwise it won't work.
Hi Experts,
Just wanted to know if i there is any cab available by you guys, that i can browse internet while i am on call, As i have seen that Touch pro2 doesnt support browsing while on call. Need some experts suggestions if thats possible or no. Thanks

What kind of TP2 do you have? The GSM versions (i.e., non-Verizon/Sprint) support simultaneous voice and data while on 3G.
This functionality gets broken if you set the data connections to time out. The default registry setting is to leave data connections open, and this is usually viewed as a battery killer, so some opt to set an auto-disconnect after X secs or mins.
\HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings\SuspendResume and CacheTime are the registry entries that should be left at default in order to do what you're wanting. And like MCbrian stated, you have to be on the 3G network for this to work (no "E" or "G" on GSM phones).
My phone is singapore SEA version, but using it in USA. its an unlocked version with unbranded.
