Please Help:
I purchased above set on 25-01-05 and suddenly on 22-03-05, while talking I found that the telephone part of the mobile pc is frozen. I did soft/hard reset but to no avail. The telephone menu does not come up and even the storage card does not "Restore". I referred the matter to O2 Help Desk and they say that since the set is not in warranty, therefore they want to charge INR 20,000 (approx US$ 450). They would change the mother board and give a warranty of 3 months. I find their charges too steep.
Is there any way that I can get the phone part working. Please help!
Basically i want to change my IMEI on my XDA 2s
i bought the xda 2s about 8 months ago, but it developed a fault.
So i called o2 and they said send it back in and we will exchange it.
I ended up getting an xda 2i instead as they didnt have the 2s in stock.
But my xda2s never made it to o2 it got "lost" in the post some how and ended up being returned to me.
So now i have my xda2i and my old xda2s
According to o2 its classed as stolen.
but its not as i paid for it.
so does anybody know of how to do this? or could point me in some sort of direction
Against the law in the UK, £10k fine, 3 years in prison so I'd be careful where / how you ask, as IP addresses can be traced....
If they replaced it, it no longer belongs to you, regardless of what they replaced it for. AFAIK it is impossible to do anyway in all but early wallaby models.

In this situation, I find that telling them you need it un-barring while you get info off there works best. The monkey answering the phone doesn't know it will boot without a valid sim in place, just tell them you need it on the o2 network long enough to backup your files.....;-)

if u live in relatively big city, visit the Chinatown district.
i just got my Orbit back from importgsm.com
they were suppose to fix the USB problem i have with my Orbit
after more then 4 months
they claim that nothing they could do to fix it
along with claiming that O2 will not cover under warranty
so i had no choose and asked them to sent me back my Orbit
and now after received, my Orbit only would show white screen
i did tried CID unlock & SD reflash
but nothing works
could any expert help me to un-brick my Orbit???

Your best idea is to post in the Orbit forum, and sounds like a radio rom issue, but I have never had a phone like yours.

It could be a problem for radio, what radio are you using?
Another possibility is that your antenna is failing? your orbit dont fall down?
I use to have the same problem after change my screen, accidentally I broke a clip that allow close the housing in the right-superior corner, aparently in this zone is the antenna, when I pressed in this zone the antenna works but when I released I lost signal. Finally I fix it and now works well.

I tried different Radio's. 02.88.90 and 02.93.90 but stillit's not working. Whem I start up the phone it finds network with full antenne range, but i'm not able to call, after about 1 minute the antenne in the display keeps searching. The phone was not falling down. Please have you got other idea's!! Greetings Hay
maybe is a problem of inner antenna, maybe something like a false contact. make that test: try pressing with 2 fingers like a pliers with moderate force over the xda logo for 40 seconds and see in your screen if the signal goes up.

This is not helping, I think it is a problem with software ( radio ??). Do you know if you can also put whole new software on the XDA Orbit. IPL or SPL.
Try flashing a more recent radio ROM. Like 03.21.90, or maybe 03.18.90.
Might help.
i had xda orbit and had the same fault mine was under warrenty sent it back with a 4 week turnaround came back the same fault but i had left the shop ? DONT DO THAT !!!!!!
took it back the shop next day sent it back again (4 week turnaround)

Hi, I have a similar problem with my O2 Xda Orbit bought it from UK with broken GSM signal. unlocked it and upload the ROM version of WM5 to WM6, but not change anything. When I turned the phone with Bulgaria Bulgarian SIM card worked perfectly, but the UK has no signal with any sim card even with O2.
Please help?
