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
Hello everybody,
I apologise in advance if there exists an answer elsewhere, but I have been searching for the past week to no avail. I'd appreciate if somebody could point me to the right thread/direction.
I upgraded from my stock mda vario2 rom, to the latest schaps (WM6).
Everything works ultra fine but I there is no 3G! I have tried a few different radios and right now i'm on 1.43. I still cannot make video phone calls. The icon is stuck on G. I'm in east london btw.
I believe my O2 uk settings are right though , to te best of my novice knowledge that is.
Again I apologise if this is already addressed in another thread or wiki. Mods, please delete my post if it is a repitition.
Appreciate any help.
Cheers!
you have a tmobile phone or an o2 phone? goto phone settings and check its set to auto
Thanks for the reply,
I have the t-mobile's mda vario2. Tried that already but its still on G.
i have the same problem with an orange 3100. it will only find G not 3G. i have even tried swapping sims but no luck. i have tried all the different settings cabs i can find but no luck
i'm using an orange spv m3100 with no problems on o2uk, and i had 1.43 until yersterday.
o2's signal seems to be inferior to that of orange; i.e. 3g reception not as good
for example i do not get a 3g signal at home on o2, but did on orange, however i do get a 3g signal outside and in other places (on o2)
goggle the site for the field test software.

Call O2 customer service and ask whether you have 3G access activated on your SIM card. I have bought O2 pay as you go SIM card some time ago and it did not access 3G at all, since the very beginning on any 3G phone. Somewhere on the receipt or SIM pack (don't remember now) I've found sth like 'SIM 2G' so that way I figured out card is not meant to log into 3G. But I never bothered to call CS anyway, as I very rarely use that SIM.
Thanks guys,
I'll try all ur suggestions, I did try swapping sims with my wife, hers is an O2 sim which actually has the letter 3G on it, but nope its still Ging on me. I will give O2 a call.
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 guys,
I had a strange problem this weekend, my P3600 (bepe rom, dont now the version), works fine in Holland. But when I drove into Belgium the phone switched over to the Belgium T-Mobile, and the connection was gone! The phone tried to re-connect and each time there was an connection for a few seconds, and then it was gone again.
This lasted no matter what I tried. I used the connection Wizard to set the settings the the Belgium network, but that didnt work also.
The phone became terrible slow and even the GPS function was affected (tomtom was not able to find the gps device). After shutting down the gsm with the commanager everything worked fine again, but I was not able to make a call obviously. Back in Holland the phone switched to the Dutch Tmobile and calling was possible again.
Has anyone have this problem before?
regards,
Ron
belgian user here, and never had those kind of problems. maybe the problem is the operator you were supposed to switch network to (depends on your local operator, and which belgian operator he is supposed to work with). maybe you should try switching the band manually to avoid 3G connections, and to force GSM connection. these are the only kind of connection problems I've met here in Belgium...
hope this can help...

I use Vodafone and just finished a trip to Luxenburg, Belgium, France and Germany and then back to Netherlands. I use Karmba ROM and had no problems..
thanks for the quick replies guys!!! i tried to set the gsm operator mannually, but it was pretty hard doing that, as the phone was occupied searching for a network. (errormessage "phone busy"). there is a list with preferred operators in the phone settings part. i think that could be the problem. can somebody with a positive experience post his/her settings? For T-mobile Holland that is ofcourse.
thanks!!!
ps. 3G was switched off
Whos ROM

Whos ROM are you using? Try Karmba_a....v.3.0
For good reception in Belgium you really should use one of the big three operators: Mobistar, Proximus and Base.
maybe a problem of the radio rom?
what version are you using?
belgium doesnt have a t mobile network afaik
Try a different radio rom.
Here you are some,I hope I can help you.
Bye

Indeed, that's why I recommend only the 3 main operators.
tnx guys!
I will give my Trin a new Radio rom and check what will happen then, it can't be that difficult I suppose
btw I used al the operators my phone was able to see, and it didnt make a difference..... strange....
If I have more problems, I will drop a line
tnx again

Cell tower based location - poor man's GPS
Has anyone managed to get the new "My Location" feature working on their Excalibur? I have an S621 running Rogers' WM6 on Rogers network, and it doesn't work. At the bottom of the Help/About screen, it says "myl: N/A"
Anyone had success with any other OS builds and/or networks? It's supposed to support "most Windows Mobile devices". Is it the device that's not compatible, or is the network not sending cell tower info?
Works On T-Mobile's Network Perfect

Works Like a charm, on T-Mobile's network, it gives me my location to a "T", and got the blinking light too, poor man's GPS........!(lol)
work with dopod c720w roger wm6 rom
work very well on my dopod C720w. i use roger wm6 rom with singtel in singapore.
it works well if you've previously used it with a gps at your location. As soon as you move you'll find the accuracy goes way off.
doesn't seem to work in Ottawa Ont on the rogers network. I made a couple of calls to make sure there was a recent connect to a tower...no luck.
Worse than not working
Not only did the My location feature not work for me on my Dash running the T-mobile WM6 ROM but it crashed my Dash. I had to hard reset, and it took a few tries to get the phone to hard reset successfully.
Works fine for me on T-Mobile in the states -- thought I read initially that the current release for just for the U.S.A. ...?
Works very well in Kitchener on Rogers/Fido network. My actual location was within the blue circle.
Good way to find out where the towers are too.
I've never used GPS on my excalibur, and it works perfectly fine for me.

I test in Singtel mobile in Singapore and AIS in Bangkok Thailand. Both works OK.
It worked perfect for me...maybe a little too perfect. It said that it could find me within 1700 meters of my actual location, and it did.
Did not work
I have a US tmo unlocked and setup for US att network. I get "error: connecterror [183]". Nothing on google seems to tell me what this is. I can go send/receive calls, go online and receive mms (following att setup per this sites board), but it always gives this error at load. Take sim out, same error, as if the software sees no connection settings when sim inserted. Ideas?
WTF I keep getting location currently unavailable. Whether it be in NYC, Connecticut or Rochester, NY. (T-Mobile Dash)
um the problem might be that you do not have a data plan or what not... or maybe you are not near a cell tower I am guessing... trying moving around or maybe try it next time you go to the mall or shopping (somewhere further from your house).
Me too
I just tried it on my Dash running AT&T's EDGE (US). I got a location that was supposed to be accurate to 2.1 Kilometers. It was closer to a kilometer. Not quite GPS accurate, but hopefully it should be nice next time I'm trying to help a friend navigate around Philly or some other big city I don't know my way around.
SurrealNetworks App Unlock
Hey guys all you need for google map "My location" to work on your T-Mobile dash you must app unlock your device with an application called SurrealNetworks App Unlock
This is the link where you can download the application.

Once you install this program my location should work perfectly, because this is what I did and it been working great on my Dash...

I had the same issue when I was on WiFi and was connected to my wireless router. Then when I turned it off and went for a drive it worked.
I honestly think this is useless unless your in a brand new city. I disabled this feature because it wasn't helpful in telling me were I was exactly. I'd rather take the 15 seconds and type the intersection in rather than the 25 seconds of looking around to see where I am according to the map.
Usually its more than 1700 meters for me. At one time it was in the wrong town.
Using a Rogers S621 w/Rogers WM6 ROM and My Location won't work.
amazing, it works !
Roger User Here - Works Perfectly Including MyLocation but it's inaccurate. it's very close to where i am but still not right - i guess you don't get everything you want lol
